Chapter 71
When Du Xuan was washing clothes by the river, because it was already dusk, no one was doing laundry anymore.
Just herself.
The sky is getting darker, and there are no street lights here. If there is a little moonlight, you can still see it. If there is no moon, the vision will be even worse.
Moreover, many people in this world cannot see clearly at night because of malnutrition.
Du Xuan is not bad, that's because her nutrition has caught up recently.
Even the former owner couldn't see anything at night.
Du Xuan seriously suspected that it was because of night blindness, that's why there used to be people in the village who fell into the cesspit at night and drowned.
Just thinking about it, Du Xuan felt that this was simply creepy, what is the most terrifying way to die, drowning in shit...
But at the riverside right now, many villagers have actually said that there will be water ghosts at night to catch the dead ghosts, so don't stay by the river.
But Du Xuan was not very afraid, because she had died once before, so she was not that afraid of death.
The second reason is because she understands that many frightening legends circulated among the people are to make people vigilant and not to do some dangerous things.
For example, there are water ghosts who come to catch the dead ghost at night, because the sight is not good at night. If you stay by the river and accidentally slip into the water, accidents are prone to happen.
But in this way, there will always be people who don't care.
But in this kind of ancient times, as long as there are some supernatural shadows, this thing becomes awe-inspiring.
So Du Xuan can swim by herself, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
She is not afraid of water ghosts, but she is afraid of living people. She was attacked by Du Rong last time and pushed into the river. Although there is no danger, choking on the water is also uncomfortable, especially since this is a place to wash clothes and things.
It always makes people feel a bit psychologically shadowed, what they choke into is not clean water.
And now that it's autumn, it's very cool at night!
If you fall into the water, even if you are not drowned, if you catch a cold, it will be uncomfortable.
So when she heard the sound of dead branches being trampled off behind her, Du Xuan immediately realized it, and turned around quickly.
I saw a tall figure approaching, although I couldn't see clearly.
But Du Xuan knew it was Qi Yan, there was no one taller than him in Zhao'an Village.
"Why are you here?" Du Xuan said.
After she threw the clothes in the clean water again, she wrung them dry and put them in the basin. Before she picked them up, he had already bent over to take them.
"Xiaobao, call me." Qi Yan said, thought for a while, and added, "It's getting late."
Du Xuan bent her lips, the little guy was quite capable of doing things, "It's not that important."
Du Xuan glanced at him as she spoke, pursed her lips for a moment, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"En." Qi Yan responded in a low voice.
Du Xuan always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't accurately grasp the point, what was wrong.
Then he walked back with Qi Yan.
When she walked all the way to the village, Du Xuan suddenly grasped the point that she couldn't grasp before!
Her eyes suddenly widened and sparkled.
Du Xuan remembered, earlier Qi Yan said, Xiaobao said it was getting late and asked him to come?
How could Xiaobao know it was late if he couldn't see?Although there is also a possibility that he just said it casually, regardless of whether he saw it or not, he felt that it was getting late, so he said it was late.
But there is another possibility that the child may not have reacted himself.
Although his eyes still couldn't see anything, they were able to sense light, even if it was only a little bit, the change was so small that even he couldn't react to it.
So much so that he casually said something like it was too late...
No matter what, Du Xuan hoped it was the latter.
Because if this is the case, at least it proves that her treatment of Xiaobao has some effects, and even the subsequent treatment is still a long way to go.
At least she felt hopeful in her heart!
Du Xuan couldn't wait to go back and ask this little guy quietly, so she quickened her pace a little.
But before she and Qi Yan got home, trouble broke out at the other end of the village.
In the farmhouse, the sun rises and the sun goes in and rests. At most, some people stop by after dinner to chat and relieve boredom, but it won't be too long, and they will all go home and sleep.
Because usually there is still work to do the next day, regardless of whether you want to go to the fields to do farm work, go hunting in the mountains, or go to work in towns and counties, you always have to get up earlier.
Now is the time when everyone is going to chat for a while after dinner, at least the whole village is not asleep yet.
So the movement at the other end of the village quickly alarmed everyone.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?"
"It seems to be the movement from the other end?"
"It's... the Liu family, right?"
As soon as someone said this, everyone fell silent, and immediately knew what was going on.
This is the Erlang of the Liu family who is gone.
"I'll go and see if there's anything I can do to help."
"That's right, orphans and widows, it will be difficult in the future, we folks in the village, please help."
Du Xuan also decided to go to Liu's house to see if there was any need for help after putting the clothes basin back.
So hurry up and head home.
I didn't forget to tell Qi Yan, "You stay at home with Xiaobao later, and children don't go to such occasions, I just go and have a look."
"En." Qi Yan still replied in a concise and monosyllabic manner.
Du Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "There is still a pheasant at home. You called before, and you can see if it's okay to give it to the Liu family? Now the family doesn't lack money to sell this pheasant for the time being."
"Yeah." Qi Yan still had no objection.
It's like not to mention that it's just one pheasant, even if it's a hundred pheasants, it's just whoever she likes to give it to.
Du Xuan thought about it carefully, and felt that Qi Yan really seemed to be like this.
He has his bottom line, even if the original owner acted like a ghost, as long as she didn't play tricks on Xiaobao, he didn't bother to care.
Even if the original owner had the brains to take the prey that Qi Yan had brought and gave it to Xue Liangjun, Qi Yan knew what was going on in his heart and didn't take it seriously, it was just that he hated the original owner even more.
No wonder Auntie said she had an easy life.
When he got home, Xiaobao rushed forward when he heard them opening the door.
"Mother, is something wrong?" Xiaobao hugged Du Xuan's leg, a little uneasy.
"It's okay, you stay at home with your father, I'll go take a look." Du Xuan thought for a while, anyway, she told Xiaobao before, so it doesn't matter to mention it again, "It's the one who was bitten by a snake during the day people."
"Aren't you alive?" Xiao Bao asked, blinking his eyes.
Du Xuan hummed, "I'll go and have a look and I'll be back..." Du Xuan said, and couldn't help looking into Xiao Bao's eyes.
In fact, I really wanted to ask him directly if he was able to take photos, but he glanced at Qi Yan who was next to Xiaobao.
In addition, it's really not the right time, Chen Jinniang has already knocked on the door outside the yard, Du Xuan can only touch Xiaobao's eyebrows lightly, "Go to bed early."
As soon as she walked out, Du Xuan saw Chen Jinniang carrying a lantern. Under the dim light of the lantern, Du Xuan saw Chen Jinniang's serious expression.
