Chapter 50
Although Wu Zhen has become a child for a long time, Mei Zhuyu has already deeply realized what kind of strange and unpredictable willful naughty child his wife was when she was young.
Such a little girl who could almost be said to be fearless suddenly shrank into a ball with such fear. Mei Zhuyu felt very surprised at the moment. She held the little girl in one hand and stopped her from moving around and fell off the horse. She looked up at the direction the little girl was looking at just now.
I saw two trees on the side of the road where they were walking. These two tall trees should be for pedestrians to rest. There were a few extremely smooth bluestones under the tree. Under the scorching sun, the two shades looked very attractive.
However, Mei Zhuyu's eyes were fixed between the two trees. There was a black net wrapped around it, and a huge web like spider silk connected between the branches of the two trees. A black thing lay in the center of the giant net. It looked like a huge spider, standing in the middle of the necessary road, like a hunter waiting for prey.
This is a kind of monster, called Spider Woman. Although it looks terrifying, it is actually not harmful to people. On the contrary, they catch some wandering foul air and small insect monsters that harm people and make people sick.
Mei Zhuyu looked down at the little girl who was trembling in her arms without saying a word. She buried her head tightly and didn't dare to look at the thing. The closer she got, the more she shook, as if she was very scared, but no matter how afraid she was, she didn't cry or make a sound. Not only that, she also subconsciously breathed lightly and tried to reduce her sense of existence.
She was really extremely scared. Mei Zhuyu suddenly understood something at this moment. Wu Zhen, could she have seen these things since she was a child? Her reaction told Mei Zhuyu that she was like this when she saw these things when she was young - she was trembling in silence.
This thought made Mei Zhuyu a little stunned. He didn't expect that she was a cat man. From the moment she first saw her, Mei Zhuyu had never seen her afraid of anything. Will she be afraid? This little girl who is not slim and pretends to be afraid of being sad will wipe her eyes and show a pitiful expression when she is really afraid, she will not cry or act coquettishly.
Mei Zhuyu suddenly felt so distressed that she couldn't bear it. She stopped Male with a tight hand. He took a deep breath, took out the little girl who was crawling into his arms, and then said to her: "Don't be afraid, look up, the spider woman is no longer there."
After a while, the little girl pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Can't speak!"
"It will come over and grab my feet."
Mei Zhuyu took a deep breath again. As long as he thought that Wu Zhen would be so scared when he was young, he couldn't help but make his voice softer, and he would never have been so gentle in his life. If he had pulled his master, senior brother, nephew and others over now, his tone would have scared half of them to death at one time.
"Really, it won't come over, you see."
While he was talking, he raised his hand and quickly drew a talisman. The light of the spirit enveloped the spider woman and the big black net, causing them to disappear all of a sudden. Although they were actually still in place, they could not be seen for the time being.
Perhaps because Mei Zhuyu gave her the feeling that she was too trustworthy, the little girl finally turned her head quietly and looked back. At this glance, she only saw the empty air shaking brightly, without the black nets and big spiders that scared her.
The little girl was like a little fox who discovered the danger disappeared. She carefully poked her head out and held Mei Zhuyu's arm and looked around. Seeing that there was really no trace of the big spider, she let out a long sigh and sat back in Mei Zhuyu's arms.
Mei Zhuyu was waiting to comfort her again, but saw the little girl quickly regaining her previous vigor and raised her feet again and started chattering.
Plum Zhuyu:...
After thinking about it, he explained to the little girl that the spider woman would not hurt people. The two of them had left the vicinity of the two trees. After hearing this, the little girl tilted her head and looked at him and asked, "Can you see it too?"
Mei Zhuyu nodded. As soon as he nodded, he saw the little girl standing up and patting his forehead with a little sympathetic look, comforting him, "Don't be afraid or not."
Mei Zhuyu:...No, I think you are more afraid.
But the little girl obviously didn't want to tell him this. Her eyes were already attracted by the fruit trees on the roadside. She excitedly pulled his sleeves and pointed at the fruit trees on the roadside: "Balmberry! There are bayberry! Let's pick bayberry!"
Mei Zhuyu remembered that she picked a handful of cherries when she went to Linjing Temple with her before. From this point of view, Wu Zhen, who grew up, actually had some similarities with her childhood.
As the evening approached, they arrived at Suti Temple at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. At this time, the tired birds returned to their nests, and the bells in the temple echoed in the forest. In the afterglow of the sunset, white smoke in the temple was curling, and it was not known whether it was the incense in the front yard or the firewood smoke in the back yard.
Mei Zhuyu got off the horse and hugged the little girl again. The little girl was still holding a big bayberry in her hand, staring curiously at the corner of the temple exposed in the forest and the faint gate of the temple.
"Is my dad here?"
"Yes." Mei Zhuyu bent down and talked to her, "Don't be excited when you see your father, do you know?"
He just brought Wu Zhen to see Duke Yu, but was not going to let Duke Yu see Wu Zhen's appearance, otherwise it would be difficult to explain, and there would be more things to deal with after Wu Zhen recovered.
However, he thought so, but things couldn't develop as he expected.
He led the little girl into the temple and asked to see his father-in-law, Duke Yu, who was practicing here. The little girl was indeed led by him along the way, and the monks passing by did not see the little girl. But as soon as he saw Duke Yu, the little girl widened her eyes and began to struggle to rush towards Duke Yu.
Wu Chundao, Duke of Yu, was very surprised that his taciturn son-in-law Mei Lang chose to visit him at this time. What made Duke of Yu feel even more strange was that the son-in-law seemed to be tightly pulling something with one hand, and his sleeves were slightly swaying. He couldn't help but look at his son-in-law's empty hand and wondered.
For some reason, he cared about it very much and always felt that there was something there.
Retracting his inquiring eyes, Duke Wu kindly asked his son-in-law what he was doing, and asked her how Wu Zhen was doing recently, and whether he would use some vegetarian food all the way along the way.
Mei Zhuyu answered respectfully, sat down in front of Duke Wu, and pulled the little girl who was swaying at Duke Wu with cleverness in her hand and pulled back.
It was just that he couldn't see or hear the sound, but if Wu Zhen rushed over, Duke Wu would feel it no matter what. In order to avoid his father-in-law being frightened by this sudden situation, Mei Zhuyu tried hard to restrain the girl. However, the girl had super strong combat power and was amazingly persevering. She suddenly turned her head and bit Mei Zhuyu's back.
Mei Zhuyu was shocked and was bitten by the soft little white teeth on the back of his hand. It didn't hurt, but the wet and itchy touch made him shake his hands and subconsciously let go.
The next moment, the little girl showed her figure in the air.
Duke Wu Guo was asking his daughter Wu Zhen if she was still lingering in the music hall recently, and he felt a flash in front of him. A little girl appeared out of thin air and rushed towards him, hugged his bare head, and laughed and said, "Bald!"
Duke Wu:...I seemed to see my little daughter when she was a child, and she even called me bald.
Mei Zhuyu quickly leaned over and dragged the little girl back and held it firmly, sat back on the spot with a normal look on her face, and even held the tea cup with her other hand and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.
Duke Wu:...
He looked at the honest son-in-law with a blank expression, looked around the empty side again, and after a while, he said, "Just now, I seemed to see a little girl."
Mei Zhuyu: "No."
Duke Wu: "I'm dazzled?"
Mei Zhuyu was silent for a moment and said unconscience: "Maybe it."
Duke Wu looked down and picked up a big bayberry from his arms, silently put it on the table in front of the two of them. It was the bayberry that the little girl had been holding in her hands. When he rushed towards him just now, he threw it to touch his head.
Duke Wu suddenly sighed and said, "What happened? Don't hide it from me. Is there something wrong in the demon market in Chang'an?"
When Mei Zhuyu heard him mention the demon market, she realized that Duke Wu knew his wife's identity and finally let go. So Duke Wu saw the smiling little girl again. The little girl was indeed the same as her daughter when she was a child, and the heartless little look that she deserved to be beaten. She stepped on his legs that were crossed like a monkey and touched his head with frivolous hands and feet.
With a little monkey on his back, Duke Wu asked his son-in-law with a complicated expression, "What's going on?"
Before Mei Zhuyu could speak, the little girl first patted her bald head and laughed, "Dad has no hair, hahaha!"
Listening to the voice of this tender little oriole, Duke Wu felt a long-lost suffocation. The complex feelings that hated her teeth and had no choice but to revive her little daughter. She finally raised her up, but she looked like a personal person, so why did she become smaller again!
Mei Zhuyu looked at the wife who was sitting on his father-in-law's arm and crawled onto his back and sat down, and sighed softly, telling the whole story.
This talk talks about the time when lighting the lamp. Xuti Temple is poor. Although Duke Wu has different identities, he is sincere to the Buddha. The decorations in the house are equally simple. A lamp is placed on the side of the desk, reflecting a small piece around it, reflecting the figures of the two on the window.
The jumping little monkey fell asleep now. She held the big bayberry that Mei Zhuyu picked for her in one hand, curled up in her father's arms, and slept very peacefully and sweetly. Occasionally, she would smash her mouth and mutter twice.
Because she fell asleep, the voices of her son-in-law and son-in-law talking were lighter.
"She has indeed seen those things since she was a child. I have two daughters, but only she can see them, but the eldest daughter cannot see them. My wife and I cannot see them, but according to the wife, her mother can also see these things, so Zhen'er's blood should be inherited from her mother."
"Maybe because she was born with eyes that were different from ordinary people, and the child's temperament was different from other children. She was naughty when she was young, which made us feel very troubled. She could see those non-human things, which made me even more worried."
When Duke Wu said this, he touched the hair of his little daughter in his arms. Seeing two little knots with unfamiliar skills on her head, he suddenly smiled, with nostalgic eyes and hidden pain.
"When she saw those things, she would go into my wife and I to sleep. She had to hold her to her to sleep. Her wife was in poor health and was disturbed by her all night and woke up late in the morning, so every morning, I would carry her out of the room quietly and comb her hair personally."
