Chapter 175 The Midnight Messenger

When I returned to Anru's home, the cornstarch paste in the pot was already cooked and exuded an alluring aroma.

As usual, she silently served me a large bowl, and finally peeled an egg for me to eat, but she didn't have any.

When I handed her the egg, she shook her head silently.

Later, I broke the egg into two pieces and gave it to her. She smiled, shyly and gently.

All this gave me the illusion that nothing happened today. It was just like usual. I was still recuperating in the house, and she was still busy outside. Waiting for her to come back, eat together, and chat.

Then they went back to their houses.

There were several times when I almost blurted out the words.

But seeing the way she lowered her head and ate silently, I swallowed her words as soon as they came to her lips.

I can't ask, who is lying between you and Xiaomi? Are you a human or a ghost? What are your intentions?!

Maybe, that was a kind of harm to her.

Even I may not be able to escape the questioning in my heart. I owe her my life, and I still owe her my life. Maybe I will never ask these questions until I fully understand what is going on here.

I know all too well that words are like knives. If you are not careful, the dagger will hurt someone, and the wound will be harder to heal than a flesh wound.

But how to figure out everything here?

After returning to the house, I threw myself heavily on the kang, holding the back of my head with both hands, staring blankly at the dust-covered beams, quietly thinking about Xiaomi's words.

My intuition tells me that Xiaomi’s warning should never be ignored.

Ordinarily, ghost stories cannot be believed, especially since Xiaomi looks so vicious and is clearly the person who died violently. Such ghost words are even less believable.

In comparison, I should trust An Ru more. After all, An Ru gave me this life. This is an ironclad fact.

But there is always a voice in my heart telling me that if I don’t listen to Xiaomi, I will definitely suffer a big loss. This place is so weird. I always feel that I have been enveloped in a huge evil net silently.

.

Before I knew it, the day passed by.

At night, Heixiazigou is even more silent.

The cold wind passed through the window, making a sound like an evil ghost lying next to the ear and whimpering. The whole village was dark without any light.

After thinking about it for a whole day, I still had no clue. I sighed and just wanted to observe it slowly for a while. One day the truth would eventually come to light. I laid out the quilt and prepared to sleep with my head covered.

Boom, boom, boom!

At this time, three subtle knocks on the door sounded.

I suddenly sat up from the bed and felt a force tightening on my scalp. My whole body was tense. I squinted my eyes slightly and thought.

Needless to say, this is definitely not Anru, because this girl has no habit of knocking on the door.

So, is it Xiaomi?

Probably not!

A person knocks on the door three times and a ghost knocks four times. Xiaomi’s ghost nature has not faded away. If she knocks on the door, it must be four knocks with an even rhythm and the same length. This is not something she can control, it is nature.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to find out. This village was like a pool of stagnant water, leaving me with no idea where to start. Several adventures with no regard for life and death made me understand a truth. If big events are unavoidable, as long as there is an opportunity to exploit every opportunity, then I must not do it.

Give up taking the initiative.

At that moment, I held the Tianguan Blade tightly, quietly walked to the door, took several deep breaths, and quickly opened the door.

Outside the door, there was nothing but a fat gray pigeon lying lazily outside.

To be precise, this is a wild one, it should be called a turtle dove.

"Scared me!"

I cursed under my breath and closed the door.

Boom, boom, boom!

The knock on the door sounded again.

Needless to say, it must be the fat turtle dove.

I ignored it, and the knocks on the door came every once in a while, endlessly. In the end, I was so frustrated that I opened the door angrily, ready to drive the fat turtle dove away, but it turned out that this thing was even more arrogant than me.

Before it could get angry, it tilted its head and looked at me, squinted its eyes, and kept "cooing". Its little eyes were clearly looking at a big fool.

As for who that big fool is, there is no need to say more.

I was already miserable enough, but I was despised by a bird. I immediately became furious, kicked the fat turtle dove away, and turned around to go back to the house.

However, the moment he lay on the kang, his dull eyes suddenly brightened up!

Something is wrong!!

Not to mention how understanding of human nature this turtledove is, there is something wrong with this village alone!

It’s so desolate, like a pool of stagnant water!!

Except for the chickens raised at An Ru's house, I haven't seen a single living thing since I came here.

Even though it's winter and everything is quiet, the mountains shouldn't be so deserted. Not to mention anything else, there should be at least a few birds passing by in the sky, right?

However, since I came here, this fat turtle dove is the only bird I have seen!

Doesn't this make this fat turtle dove even more unique?

I immediately put on my cotton coat, jumped off the ground, and rushed out of the house. The fat turtle dove just stood up from the ground unsteadily and walked towards me again unyieldingly. Its right wing suddenly spread out and pointed at me. One of its feathers was particularly

He stood up mischievously.

This is clearly giving me the middle finger!!

I was scorched on the outside but tender on the inside, but this time I wasn't angry anymore. I subconsciously glanced at Anru's room. It was dark inside, and she seemed to be asleep. I waved my hands to the fat turtle dove, who looked at him sideways.

I took one look and flew away in a hurry.

To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a poor turtle dove.

However, the other party was obviously sent by something, and I didn’t know what the intention was. I couldn’t just call him and make soup, so I hurriedly chased him.

The village becomes more and more terrifying at night.

The abandoned houses were filled with darkness, and I always felt like something was peering at me inside.

The fat turtle dove flew towards the head of the village. From An Ru's home to the head of the village, there was only a narrow dirt road that could only be passed by one person. The temperature was so low at night that the dirt road had long been frozen, and the whole road was an icy slope. I was focused on

I was chasing the fat turtle dove, and I didn't pay attention to my steps. I lost my footing and almost rolled down the ravine. I broke out in a cold sweat. I even realized that the terrain of Heixiazi gully was complicated. If I wanted to get out, I would have to step on it carefully.

Otherwise, something could easily happen.

The fat turtle dove landed in front of me with a flutter, tilted its head and looked at me, and kept "cooing" in a voice that seemed to be mocking me - you loser.

I took the opportunity to grab it by the neck, picked it up, and threw it hard on the ground a few times, causing feathers to fly all over the ground. Only then did the other person become honest and lead the way without hesitation.

Not long after, we had arrived at the head of the village.

I have some impressions about this. I came here when I was exploring the road during the day. There was only a narrow rotten wooden door, which looked a bit like some villages in the southwest where ethnic minorities live together.

At this time, behind the rotten wooden door, on a huge bluestone, a man was sitting there quietly, with his back to me, facing the mountains where clouds, mist and darkness danced together.

This is a woman with a head full of black hair flying in the wind. She is not dressed like a modern person. It is cold weather, but she is not overly dressed. She is wearing a decent white dress that is spotless and has a flying hem, giving her a fairy-like air.

I slowed down my pace and looked at the woman hesitantly. I always felt that the figure from behind seemed familiar, but for a while I couldn't remember where I had seen her before.

As soon as the fat turtle dove saw this woman, it immediately flew toward her and landed in her arms. It held its head high and kept "cooing", like a arrogant baby, accusing me of atrocities against it.

.

"Hehehe..."

The woman chuckled softly, her laughter was very magnetic, but a little too cold. She poked the fat turtle dove's head with her slender white fingers, and then said softly: "I told you before, don't look at people sideways.

If you encounter someone with a bad temper, I'm afraid I'll have to arrest you, skin you, clean you, and make soup. It's a great mercy that they didn't take your life!"

The voice is also very familiar.

I walked towards her step by step. The woman was very calm and did not look back at me. She raised her arm and held a wine gourd in her hand. She raised her head and drank in the wind.

It has to be said that when she drinks, she does not show off her ugly appearance like other drunken people, but instead has an indescribable sense of freedom and ease!

If I can't tell the clues just from the back, then I am very familiar with the wine gourd!
