Chapter 512: Soul From Another World
"So, our ox cart was pushed back by them?"
"No wonder they are so resentful..." Xie Yuzhou widened his eyes in astonishment. Sure enough, Lu Chaochao could use a trick to push the cart.
Ah Man was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"My goodness, I have lived for so many years, but this is the first time I have encountered such a thing."
Fortunately, there was no danger and he returned to the village safely.
Then he looked at the old cow with heartache. This was the ox cart she bought after selling snail noodles for half a year.
Seeing that the old cow was injured, Xie Yuzhou simply didn't get on it and walked into the village with her.
It was late at night and the doors in the village had been closed.
Hearing the noise outside the door, someone secretly opened the window and took a peek. Seeing Ah Man, there was a bang... .
Immediately close the window.
"I was born in a coffin. I was born unlucky. People in the village don't like to talk to me." She smiled awkwardly, with a bit of loss in her expression.
"How can it be a bad omen? Your mother is dead, and you were born safely. This should be a great fortune."
"You are alive and well, and your deceased mother should be very relieved."
A Man was stunned, and suddenly felt that this carefree young boy had some Buddhist nature.
"Okay, I will live well."
"I haven't found my scumbag father yet, and I haven't reported to my mother yet."
She has lived in the village for more than ten years, and everyone in the village avoids her like a snake and scorpion. Except for her grandmother, the whole village doesn't talk to her.
Now, with two more friends, it's more interesting.
A few people walked through the village and came to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Ah Man pointed to the lush mountain behind him, with bitterness on her lips: "My mother went into that mountain and disappeared. When she came back, she was pregnant with me."
"I have tried to go into the mountain countless times, but there are fogs and demons in the mountain, so I can only wander around the periphery. I have gone into the mountain several times but failed."
"Forget it, let's not talk about these boring things."
The single-family courtyard at the foot of the mountain is a little quiet, with a closed wooden door, a fence as a wall, and a lot of green vegetables planted inside.
"Grandma, I'm home, open the door quickly." Her voice was a little abrupt under the moonlight.
After a while, the lights were turned on in the house.
The old man staggered and opened the wooden door.
"Grandma, I'm back. These are the two little benefactors I met today, who came to stay at home." She smiled, but the moment the old man saw her, his eyes suddenly sank.
"Why are you back again? Today... Today is your engagement day!"
Ah Man's eyes were slightly deep, and he lowered his head.
"Well, Ah Man doesn't want to get married. I want to stay with my grandmother forever." She coaxed the old lady with tears in her eyes.
The old lady slapped her hand hard, and the back of her hand was a little red.
"Why are you accompanying me? I am so old, I will die sooner or later! If you are alone, who will support you in the future?"
"That family is a butcher, with murderous aura, which will definitely suppress your fate!"
"Go back quickly! Get married sooner, and I will feel at ease sooner!"
"Why are you pestering me every day? You have a bad fate. If you stay with me, you will be unlucky!" The old lady glared at her and spoke harshly.
Ah Man lowered her head, and big tears fell down.
"I don't want to get married, and I don't want to hurt people anymore. If my grandmother is afraid of me, I will move to my mother's grave, build a thatched house, and live there!"
The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards: "You...you..."
Xie Yuzhou poked his head out of the door: "Grandma, that family is dead. I heard that the butcher committed murder a few years ago. Yesterday, the enemy came to seek revenge and the whole family was killed."
"Even the eggs were shaken and turned yellow."
The old lady paused.
"Sister Ah Man, she still..."
"Yuzhou!" Ah Man suddenly shouted, interrupting Xie Yuzhou's words.
Xie Yuzhou pinched her mouth and dared not talk about her jumping into the river again.
The old lady looked at her carefully and saw that her clothes had a bit of fishy smell, as if she had climbed out of the water and dried.
There was still dry water grass hanging on her hair.
The old lady's eyes were slightly hot, and she said viciously: "Why don't you come in quickly? What are you standing outside the door for!"
The little old lady walked quickly, pushed Ah Man's hand away, and walked quickly into the house.
While walking, she secretly wiped her tears.
"This damned thief God is not a good thing! He harmed me and the little girl!" The old lady's curse could be heard faintly in the house.
Wait for a few people to move the things into the house.
The oil lamp has been lit on the table, and the oil lamp is crackling.
On the table are steaming noodles and square, browned snacks.
"This is called cake. Try it quickly, grandma is a master at making snacks!"
The two little guys rushed to the table like refugees fleeing famine.
It tasted sweet and delicious, a taste I had never tasted before.
"Woo woo woo..." Lu Chaochao's eyes widened suddenly, and he slapped his throat hard.
Ah Man was so scared that he hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and swallowed the cake with water.
"Slow down, there are more at home. This is the delicacy of grandma's hometown. She will eat a few pieces when she misses home."
There were three large bowls on the table, and the large bowls were covered with plates.
Ah Man uncovered the plates.
"What is this? Such a rich aroma... Grandma, you cook really fast!" The noodles were already on the table in the blink of an eye when Xie Yuzhou entered the door.
Ah Man laughed: "This is instant noodles."
"Just rinse with boiling water and you can eat it anytime. This is also a delicacy from my grandmother's hometown. My grandmother studied it for many years before she could barely make it." Ah Man had seen her crying while eating.
"I knew it, grandma also put an egg in it for me." Ah Man smiled and picked up the noodles, took a big sip, it was so delicious!
The three children buried their heads in the food without raising their heads.
The old man sat in front of the window, looking at the blood moon in the sky, his eyes dazed.
The three children even drank up the soup.
"Grandma, grandma, where is your hometown?"
"The food in your hometown is so delicious. The peaches in the sky are not as delicious as noodles." Lu Chaochao gave praise without hesitation.
The old woman couldn't help but smile, and she sat in the rocking chair with gray hair and rocked.
"In a very far place that can never be reached." Her eyes were full of memories, and when she mentioned the past, her dark color became gentle.
"Then how did you get here?" Xie Yuzhou's stomach was full, but he couldn't put down the cake in his hand, and he rubbed his stomach while chewing.
The old lady smiled.
"Do you believe in the sun and moon shining together?"
"In my hometown, there was a day when the sun and the moon appeared in the sky at the same time. It was like... there was a crack in time and space. It was like... time was flowing backwards? It was as if time and space were in chaos."
"When I woke up, I appeared here."
Xie Yuzhou shook his head: "The story you told is so mysterious. How could the sun and the moon appear at the same time?"
The old man smiled.
A Man brought hot water to Chao Chao to wash her face and feet.
"The village is still making up rumors about my grandmother."
"It is said that my grandmother was very stupid when she was young. When she was sixteen years old, she accidentally fell into the water. After waking up, she became smart and intelligent. The villagers insisted that she was possessed by evil spirits and tied her up in the ancestral hall for three days to exorcise the evil spirits."
"Since then, the village has stopped communicating with my grandmother."
"Later, my grandmother saved me, and I depended on my grandmother for my life."
The old man smiled and touched her head.
She wanted to go home, really wanted to go home.
But where is the opportunity for the sun and the moon to shine together? (End of this chapter)
