After arriving at the woman's residence, it was indeed a relatively simple house. The house was large and clean and tidy, but it was good to have a place to stay.
After the woman brought a few people into the house, she said: "Look at you guys on your way, haven't you had breakfast yet? If you don't mind, I'll go get you some porridge."
Jiang Fang was not very hungry. He just felt very sleepy now, so he said, "I won't bother you. We also ate some dry food along the way."
Leng Ningshuang also said: "Yes, it's already troublesome for you to live here, so there's no need. We'll make food ourselves when we get hungry later. You can do your own business first."
There was a flash of coldness in the woman's eyes, but it recovered immediately, so quickly that Jiang Fang thought it was an illusion caused by being too tired.
The house was simple, so Jiang Fang and Leng Ningshuang slept in the same room. The room was considered clean. As soon as Leng Ningshuang entered, he said, "Why does the smell in this room seem familiar?"
Jiang Fang frowned. There was indeed a fragrant smell in the room, but looking at the woman's hands, she must be young. It was normal for the room to have a fragrant smell.
Jiang Fang tidied up and went to sleep. Leng Ningshuang shook her head and said, "Then you go to sleep for a while. I'll go out for a walk."
After leaving the woman's house, Leng Ningshuang walked to the tree at the entrance of the village. At this hour, everyone in the countryside should be out working.
But the village was deserted. Leng Ningshuang turned around in a circle and then sat down on the swing under the tree. At this time, there was a sound of chirping behind him.
Leng Ningshuang suddenly became alert. When she turned around, she saw a child, who must have been seven or eight years old. The other half of his face was gone, leaving only half of his head, which looked very eye-catching.
The way he walked was also very strange, swaying as if he was drunk. I don't know if it was because he was missing a normal head.
She saw him slowly approaching Leng Ningshuang. Fortunately, it was daytime and Leng Ningshuang was not that scared. Only after the child walked in did she see the child's face clearly.
He only had one eye left, and half of his head was covered with scars. He looked very ferocious, and he said with a smile: "Sister, beautiful sister."
Leng Ningshuang felt terrified in her heart and was about to leave. The old woman who had closed the door in the morning ran over and hugged the child.
"Sambo, what are you doing outside? Go back with grandma quickly!"
After saying that, the old woman pulled the child back, but the child looked back at Leng Ningshuang and shouted: "Sister, beautiful sister, the monster eats the beautiful sister!"
Leng Ningshuang was puzzled by what she heard, and walked around before going back. Most of the people in this village were elderly, so no wonder it was so deserted.
I didn't see many children, but looking at the swing on the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, I guess there must be children in this village.
But after turning around, it seemed that I only saw the child with only half of his head left, but not the other children.
After Leng Ningshuang returned, Duan Jiu and Xiao Yao were eating steamed buns. As soon as she returned, she said, "I saw a child at the entrance of the village just now. Half of his head was missing. It was really scary."
Xiao Yao said: "Are you kidding? Half of the head is gone, how can a person still be alive? You are like a ghost in broad daylight. Do you have yin and yang eyes?"
At this time, a faint voice sounded from behind: "That's the grandson of the old Chen family. Tan Wan was run over by a carriage on a pipeline before, and half of his head was lost. As a result, he survived, but became crazy.
.”
Leng Ningshuang was so frightened that she didn't notice this woman coming over!
She looked at Xiao Yao and saw that Xiao Yao's eyes were also full of shock. Could this woman walk so lightly? Neither she nor Xiao Yao noticed it.
At this time, Du Shijiu said: "It can be regarded as the virtue accumulated by our ancestors."
The woman giggled a few times and said, "That's not necessarily true. Our village is blessed by gods. Their family, I heard, sacrificed their daughter-in-law to save their grandson."
Leng Ningshuang suddenly thought of what the child said about "pretty sister" and "the monster eats the pretty sister", and couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that he ate his mother?
After the woman left, Xiao Yao whispered: "This woman is a bit strange."
Leng Ningshuang nodded, and then said: "Go and have a rest quickly. If you are on your way at night, you should go to the town quickly. There is something strange here."
Xiao Yao held the steamed bun in his mouth and said to Duan Jiu: "Let's go, let's go and rest first."
Duan Jiu shook his head: "I have already slept in the carriage. You go and have a rest. I will watch for you. I can continue to sleep in the carriage at night."
Xiao Yao nodded. After all, this village is indeed a bit strange, and this woman is even stranger. Even if it is daytime and everyone has gone to bed, she still feels uneasy. It is good to have someone watching over her.
Jiang Fang felt in a daze that Leng Ningshuang seemed to be back. Leng Ningshuang put his hand on Jiang Fang's cheek, and Jiang Fang muttered: "Don't make trouble, go to sleep, I'm really sleepy."
But when Jiang Fang reached out and grabbed those hands, she suddenly woke up. Leng Ningshuang was a martial arts practitioner, and her hands had calluses.
But these hands were white, tender and delicate, completely different from Leng Ningshuang's hands. When Jiang Fang opened his eyes, his mouth and nose were covered with drugs.
Jiang Fang knew it as soon as he smelled it, but because of his nervousness just now, he inhaled the drug and his mind suddenly became confused.
She vaguely saw a beautiful face with delicate skin and bright red lips.
After Leng Ningshuang returned to the house, she found that Jiang Fang was missing, but she clearly remembered that Jiang Fang was sleeping in the house. The quilt in this house was very neat.
Leng Ningshuang looked around and found that this room seemed different from the previous one. This room did not have the same fragrance that she had smelled before.
After discovering that it was not the same house, she immediately ran out and returned along the same route. She found that the reason why she went wrong was because of the flowers at the door of the house.
When the woman brought Jiang Fang and Leng Ningshuang to this house, she said that the structure of this house was quite special and completely symmetrical.
Therefore, after coming out of the main house, it is very easy to lose sight of the direction. In order to distinguish each house, there are different flowers at the door of each house.
Because after the woman specifically said that, Leng Ningshuang subconsciously went to find the pot of flowers, but after entering, she realized that this was not the previous room at all.
At first, Leng Ningshuang thought that she had just gone in the wrong direction, so she didn't pay much attention and planned to look for that room again. However, after seeing the pot of flowers, Leng Ningshuang felt that something was wrong.
This flower was specially exchanged for it. It was not originally here. Originally, there were different flowers at the door of each house, so this potted flower appeared in front of different houses. It can only be because it was exchanged!
