Chapter Thirty-Nine Bamboo Forest Cottage

Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Finally, I calmly said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, where do you live in your home?

Not far away, just behind the small hill in front, it looks like two or three miles away. Come with me. After the old woman finished speaking, she walked forward quickly without any feeling of being in a tranquil life.

The four of us were still a little hesitant, but our gurgling stomachs were no longer allowed to delay any more, so the four of us followed the old woman's footsteps and walked towards the small mountain village in front.

After walking for about ten minutes, right at the foot of the mountain, there was a thatched hut standing alone next to the path of the sausage.

The house is not big, but it has a very quaint smell. There is also a small pond on the side of the house, and the water in the pond is very clear.

There are many bamboos growing on both sides of the hut, and the whole environment gives people a sense of quiet and elegant. If it weren't for the remoteness, it would definitely be a good place to live.

Okay, that's it. The old woman stood in front of the hut, pointed at the hut with her finger, and signaled us to go in.

Mother-in-law, are you living here? I feel that the environment is so great, but there are fewer people. I can’t help but admire this feeling.

Yes, alas, when I was fighting, my man went to the battlefield and never came back. Now it has been decades, and I have always been alone, so maybe it’s all fate. The old woman sighed again.

Mother-in-law, don’t be too sad. Look at you living in such a good environment, with mountains and water, lush forests and bamboos. Now the world outside is too noisy. You are a place with outstanding people, but it is hard to find lanterns. Yubing comforted the old woman in time.

Thank you, little girl, come and let's go into the yard. Seeing that we didn't walk in, the old lady took the lead in walking towards the yard.

I saw the old woman go in first, and I thought that she would not be able to play any tricks in broad daylight. Besides, she was infected by her miserable life experience just now, and she couldn't help but feel more favorable to her. Under this subtle feeling trend, I couldn't help but follow the old woman's footsteps.

Tianhong, Monkey and Yubing saw that I followed the old woman into the yard without hesitation, and the three of them followed me without saying a word.

The furnishings in the yard are actually very simple. There are only an ancient well. There are two large locust trees planted not far from the well. There are four small goats and a relatively fat old goat on the tree. When a stranger comes in, several goats bleated at us anxiously.

Mother-in-law, you even have a goat? Yubing asked with a smile.

Yes, living alone in the mountains is too lonely. I have raised a few goats in my captivity and can help me relieve my boredom. When I am bored, listen to the goats bleating, which can add a little bit of vitality to the quiet mountain village life. The old woman said calmly.

But why do these sheep feel weird? Logically speaking, sheep are very docile animals, but now these sheep are so fierce. What's going on? Yubing continued to ask in confusion.

When the old woman heard Yu Bing say this, her expression seemed to be frozen for a moment, but she immediately returned to her previous calmness and said with a smile: "Oh, maybe I haven't seen a stranger. There were so many people in the yard all at once. They might be a little frightened, and I believe they will be quiet in a while.

After saying that, the old woman walked to the next to the five sheep, reached out to pat the largest goat, and seemed to be muttering something, but we didn't hear what we were saying because we were too quiet.

After reading, the goats suddenly became much more docile.

Look, I was talking in the yard, but I forgot to invite you four little guests into the room to drink some water and eat something. Come on, come in with me now. The old woman turned around and said enthusiastically.

The four of us looked at each other and walked into the room in confusion.

The furnishings of the house are relatively old, and there are a few pairs of furniture of some ages, tables, and rattan chairs neatly placed inside.

There is no divine case to worship ancestors in the middle of the house like ordinary families in western Hunan, which is a bit confusing.

In addition, the house was clean and even spotless.

In short, the whole style gives people a traditional and classical atmosphere, and it doesn't look like the style that an elderly man should have.

You sit down first, I'll take some water for you. The old woman arranged for everyone to sit down in an orderly manner, and then walked alone to the well outside the house to fetch water.

Yiyang, Tianhong, have you noticed anything wrong? Yubing lowered his voice and asked in a mysterious tone after the old woman's figure completely disappeared from sight.

What's wrong? I didn't find it. I had no brainstorm.

It was indeed a bit strange. Those sheep seemed to be wrong no matter how they looked at it. Moreover, this old lady always gave people a gloomy feeling. Even when she smiled, she felt fake. Tianhong whispered his doubts.

Everyone should be careful. This old woman is a master of raising poison. Yu Bing whispered to remind everyone, while looking at the back of the old woman outside the door.

How do you know? Where can you tell that she understands Gu? The monkey asked Yubing with a disbelief expression.

Her house was cleaned up very clean, which is the characteristic of the Gu people in Xiangxi. It is neat and remote. In the future, whenever you go to any place in Xiangxi, you will see that the house is very clean and spotless, it will definitely be strange. At this time, you should be careful. Yubing continued to patiently remind him.

Oh, will she harm us? The monkey asked worriedly.

I don’t know, but it’s very likely that I don’t have good intentions. In addition, the sheep outside are definitely not ordinary sheep. I think it’s weird. She should be careful when she gives us anything to eat. Do you understand?

Well, I understand, stop talking, she is coming. I whispered a warning to Bing.

Come on, let’s drink water, the sweet mountain spring water. The old woman started shouting outside the door.

After a while, the old woman quickly walked into the room, gently placed the prepared water in a pot, and then took out five gray porcelain bowls and filled the well water in turn.

After pouring the water, the old woman grabbed a bowl first and drank it down with a smile. Then she glanced at the four of us, and the implication was: Drink it, this water is not poisonous.

Seeing that she had already drunk, the four of them thought there should be no problem with the water, so they picked up the bowl and started drinking it.

The water of this well is so sweet, mother-in-law, your well is so awesome. The monkey praised it loudly.
