Chapter 21 Su Niang

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

It is impossible for Chu Huan and Lin Lang to have no feelings for each other for a few days, but he knows that the two are not on the same road after all, and if they say goodbye today, they may never see each other again.

As the sun set, the sky and the earth became dark. Relying on the memory deep in his mind, Chu Huan walked west along the small path. After walking for more than an hour, the sky was already completely dark, and a crescent moon also rose from the horizon.

Chu Huan turned over a dirt slope, and a lake appeared in front of him. The water in the lake was clear, and it shone coldly under the moonlight. Seeing this lake, Chu Huan showed a gleam of joy on his face, and the memory deep in his mind Let him understand that he is getting closer and closer to home.

He walked to the lake, put down the wolf fur and the package, then took the lake water with both hands, and took a few sips. Under the moonlight, his appearance was reflected in the lake water. Looking closely, he was unkempt and really sloppy. Yes, I shook my head and sighed. I’m afraid my family members will be shocked when they see me when I come home like this. I’m going to take off all my clothes, put them in the grass by the lake, and jump into the lake by myself. That’s a good wash. .

In late autumn, the water in the lake was very cold, but Chu Huan was in excellent physical condition, and he didn't feel the slightest chill. He washed the dust on his body well, even brushed his hair carefully, and was about to go ashore to tie it up , suddenly heard a faint cry not far away, Chu Huan immediately frowned, and approached the lake, where the withered grass immediately covered him.

He looked in the direction of the crying by the moonlight, and saw a few figures faintly appearing on the path not far from the lake, and the crying came from that group of people.

Chu Huan frowned and looked carefully. Those people gradually approached, and saw a thick and strong person in front of him, a person behind him, and three or four people behind him, holding a bow and arrow and holding an iron fork. He didn't pay attention to Chu Huan in the lake, and just walked by, but Chu Huan could see clearly that the crying person was only a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Chu Huan was very surprised. He didn't know what happened. He was numb all over at this time, so it was not easy to come out. Seeing those people gradually going away, the crying gradually became quieter, until finally he couldn't hear anything.

Although Chu Huan felt strange, it was none of his business after all, so he didn't think too much about it. He went ashore and put on his clothes. Taking the lake water as a mirror, he tore off another cloth strap from his already dilapidated clothes, and tied his hair around his head. Finally, tied it with a belt, then picked up the wolf skin and the package, and continued westward along the lake.

After walking for half an hour, I saw a village in front of me. The autumn night is bleak, the moonlight is cold, the village is quiet under the dark night, and the surrounding fields are silent. There are a few fires in the village, and it is natural that some people have not blown the lamps to rest. .

Chu Huan stood on the small slope, looking at the village, dazed.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, looked up at the moon, and walked towards the village. For some reason, the closer he got to the village, the more uneasy he felt.

There are thirty or forty households in the village, which is not considered a small village, but the houses of every household are relatively small and very old. At a glance, one can tell that the houses here have been built for some years.

Compared with the scene in Chu Huan's mind, the village hasn't changed much. He walked through the village, the night was dark and windy, but he found his home without meeting anyone.

It was a very dilapidated adobe house. At first glance, it looked like an old house that had experienced many years of wind and rain. It was much dilapidated than what Chu Huan remembered. According to Chu Huan's memory, the middle room of the adobe house was the living room, and the two sides were bedrooms. , the one on the left should be where his parents lived, and the one on the right, before this body left home, should be where he and his elder brother lived.

Chu Huan stabilized his emotions, and finally walked forward, put down the wolf skin, raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, but there was no sound from inside, so he increased his strength and knocked a few times with "dong dong dong".

Soon, he heard a commotion in the house. Hearing the commotion, the house seemed a little flustered, and then he heard footsteps, which seemed to be approaching the gate.

Chu Huan waited for a while, and vaguely heard the footsteps coming to the door, but the door was not opened. It was very strange, and he knocked on the door again, but a woman's cold voice came from inside the room: "Who is it?" ?” The voice was guarded and even more hostile.

Chu Huan was taken aback. In his memory, there were no other women in the family except his mother, and the voice was obviously a young woman, definitely not his mother. Did he go to the wrong door?

He took two steps back, relying on the memory in his mind, he clearly remembered that it was indeed this family, stepped forward again, and said softly: "I am Erlang, open the door quickly!"

"What two wolves and three dogs, get out of my way!" The voice inside said with a sneer, "If you want to get cheap from me, don't even think about it!"

Hearing this voice, this woman was very aggressive. Chu Huan was at a loss, but he was sure that he did not go to the wrong door, and said in a deep voice, "Is this Chu Yuan's family?"

The woman in the room did not answer.

Chu Huan thought that after returning, it would be an exciting and touching scene of reunion after a long absence, but he was blocked in front of the gate, and he didn't know for a while, so he knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother, I'm Erlang, open the door quickly. Erlang is back!"

He patted twice, but there was still no response in the room. He frowned and pushed hard. The wooden door that had been closed had already been unlatched at some point, but he pushed it open all of a sudden, and the room was dark.

Chu Huan frowned, and was about to step up to enter the door when he saw a figure suddenly appearing in front of him. Before he could see clearly, he saw that figure had raised his hand. Under the moonlight, he could see clearly that the man was holding a A kitchen knife slashed at Chu Huan mercilessly.

Chu Huan was taken aback. Unexpectedly, after opening the door, he was greeted with a kitchen knife. He took two steps back lightly and stood still. The man stopped chasing him and stood in front of the door, holding the kitchen knife in one hand and It's akimbo.

Chu Huan looked around in the moonlight, and saw that the person who attacked him was a woman, wearing a blue autumn jacket on the upper body, and a coarse floral skirt on the lower body, which was very simple. Judging by her appearance, although she was not very beautiful, But she is also about seven to eighty good looking, looks about the same age as Chu Huan, only 22 or [-] years old, the skin on her face is naturally not as fair and delicate as Su Linlang's, but among the country girls, it is extremely white and smooth. She combed her hair in a bun, and when she looked at the bun, she was already a married woman.

This woman is tall and tall, I don't know if it's because of the autumn jacket, her chest is bulging, and against the thin waist, the bust looks very tall and straight, but there is a coldness between the corners of the eyes and the brows, and the eyes are even more sharp. Seeing hostility, before Chu Huan could speak, the woman had already crossed her hips and raised her other hand. With the kitchen knife forward, she sneered and said, "Get lost, old lady. If you take a step forward, my old lady will chop you up and feed the dog!" !" Her voice was a little hoarse, although she was reprimanding, it was still very pleasant.

Chu Huan frowned, as if thinking of something, with a respectful look on his face, he stared at the young woman and asked, "You...are you Miss Su Niang?"

The young woman was startled, then sneered and said: "What's wrong, you came to touch my old lady's door in the middle of the night, do you really think I, Ye Su Niang, is easy to provoke? You don't have to get out!"

"Sister Su Niang, I'm Erlang!" Chu Huan stepped forward, Su Niang immediately vigilantly clenched the kitchen knife in her hand, and said sharply, "Don't come over!"

"You don't know me anymore?" Chu Huan smiled wryly, "I'm Chu Huan, Chu Erlang!"

"Chu Huan?" Su Niang put her hips on her hips and sneered, "My uncle has been dead for seven or eight years, is he still alive?"

Uncle?

Chu Huan was startled, and soon realized in his heart that what he guessed just now was really good. This young woman has really become the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, that is, her own sister-in-law.

Seeing that Su Niang refused to recognize each other, Chu Huan also knew that her own experience was very bizarre, and she couldn't explain clearly for a while, and said, "Sister Su Niang, it doesn't matter if you don't know me, you go and ask the elder brother to come out, and the elder brother will definitely know me !"

"Brother?" A trace of sadness flashed across Su Niang's eyes, she gritted her teeth, and said bitterly: "You... who are you? Is it... Did Feng Ergou ask you to come here?" She glanced to the east , scolded: "Feng Ergou, who was killed that day, was struck by lightning, pierced through human skin, and did not do human affairs... he must die a terrible death!"

Chu Huan was a little confused for a while, and what was even more strange was that there was such a commotion outside, but there was silence in the room, and his elder brother didn't come out for a long time.

Seeing Chu Huan standing blankly and not preparing to leave, Su Niang was angry and anxious, and wanted to scold her. At this moment, a voice finally came from the room: "Su Niang, what happened outside?"

When Su Niang heard the sound, she hurriedly said: "Mother, it's okay, there is a night owl knocking on the door outside, I will come out to chase it away, your old man is just asleep!"

When Chu Huan heard the voice, he dodged suddenly, and before Su Niang could react, he had already run to the window on the left side of the room, and shouted to the window: "Mother, I am Chu Huan, your Erlang, Mother, Erlang is back!"

Seeing this, Su Niang's face changed slightly, she raised the kitchen knife in her hand and was about to go over, but she took a step, but stopped suddenly, with a look of doubt on her face, looked Chu Huan up and down, with a strange look in her eyes .

There was already a commotion in the house, and the old woman's voice came out: "It's...it's Erlang...is it really Erlang?" The voice was already trembling.

Chu Huan didn't care about other things at this time. He arrived at the gate in a few steps and rushed into the house. Su Niang wanted to stop her, but for some reason, she just opened her mouth. After all, she didn't say anything. Chu Huan went into the house——
