Chapter 43
This woman has an extremely beautiful appearance, with smoky willow eyebrows, slender eyes, red lips, and a charming smile. She is wearing a tailored and ironed cheongsam that highlights her curvaceous figure to the fullest, especially the lotus plate. It was so plump that I, a woman, even stared at it slightly.

Who is this... Why have I never seen it before in the village?

I glanced at her pair of white and slender lotus root arms again, I don't understand that she is a weak woman, how can she have the strength to open the door that Liu Wangzhi was stuck in?
Seeing me staring at her blankly, the woman smiled slightly with her lips bent, her slender and upturned eyes were winking like silk, and said softly: "Who am I? It turns out it's you girl. Why, Are you looking for the old man at home again?"

I felt ashamed of peeking at the beautiful woman being caught, before I could speak, she folded her arms and leaned against the door, her eyes wandered to Liu Wangzhi next to me, her eyes lit up, and she stood up straight He turned around, and the charming smile on his lips became even wider, "Oh, I said why the yard is full of spring and radiant today. It turns out that there is such a handsome guy here~"

Liu Wangzhi put one hand in his trouser pocket, and a pair of emotionless peach blossom eyes were also looking at this woman lightly, with a bland and alienated appearance.

I froze for a moment, and the words that slipped to my lips were stuck in my throat. I was a little overwhelmed by the scene, first glanced at the woman in front of me who was staring at Liu Wangzhi and smiled, then turned my head to look at the woman with the same face. Liu Wangzhi, who was expressionless, suddenly felt an inexplicable brain pain.

Didn't I say... Where did this snake go, where did people bow down under his breathtaking skin?
Tsk, it's a disaster.

"Oh, why don't you make trouble here, please go in and drink tea." Seeing the embarrassment of the scene, the grandson of the village quickly bent down to persuade the woman to enter the house.

The woman shook off his hand, fingertips fiddled with the brightly painted nails, and frowned at him: "What are you doing, it's rare that there are guests at home, can't we chat a few words?"

Seeing the village grandson coaxing her like this, I thought that this woman might be his wife, so I smiled and said, "It's okay, my sister-in-law has such a warm and generous personality, which is very nice."

"Sister-in-law?" The grandson of the village was stunned, then suddenly looked at me, and said in surprise, "I'm afraid you have misunderstood, she is my grandma, and I have to kowtow to her during the Chinese New Year."

"What? This is your grandma?!" I opened my mouth wide in shock. The smiling woman next to me was only 20 years old at most. How could she be this man's grandma? !
Besides, the village head is almost ninety, and I have never heard anyone say that he has such a young and beautiful wife? !
"What's the matter, doesn't it look like it?" The woman hugged her elbow with one hand, and lightly rested her cheek with the other hand, smiling charmingly, full of charm.

I was quite shocked and turned my head to look at Liu Wangzhi, thinking that he would be as surprised as I was, but he still didn't say anything, still staring at the woman indifferently.

"Cough, cough cough... Yuzhi, go back to the house." Suddenly someone coughed a few times in the yard, and saw a gray figure walking out of the room.

The woman in the cheongsam was still laughing, but she lowered her eyebrows when she heard this, and hummed slightly in disappointment, then she licked her red lips meaningfully towards Liu Wangzhi, and went back to the room with her slender waist twisted. .

I raised my eyes to look at the gray figure, and suddenly regained my spirits, and said with a smile: "Village Chief, aren't you..."

"I know why you are looking for me." The village chief interrupted me, stroked his gray beard and looked at Liu Wangzhi, then hurriedly looked away, "That's all, you guys come in and talk about it."

The grandson of the village chief saw that his grandfather had opened his mouth and stopped stopping us.

When he helped the village chief to turn around and walk in, I nudged Liu Wangzhi with my elbow, moved my eyebrows to his shoulder, and said in a low voice that only the two of us could hear: "Speak, village chief. If you speak so well today, could it be that you are dying of a terminal illness... dying soon?"

The village chief has white hair and is wearing a white Tang suit, but his spirit is not as good as the last time I saw him. His eye sockets are blue and his cheeks are sunken. Like a long-term illness, and very sick.

"It's not that he's sick, but he won't live long." Liu Wangzhi hasn't spoken much since he came out, and now he's in the courtyard, it's rare for him to speak.

"Isn't it a disease?" I looked at the village chief's body that was not bent at all despite his advanced age, and asked in confusion, "Then what's wrong with him?"

Liu Wangzhi was silent again, while walking, he looked up at the dark red Chinese-style building that was getting closer and closer, his eyes traced the window lattice and eaves, and suddenly stopped on the top attic, his footsteps paused.

"What's wrong?" I sensed that something was wrong with him, and I also looked up.

The vermilion wooden windows of the attic were open to the outside, and dim candle flames danced in the room. The beautiful woman called Yuzhi by the village head sat halfway on the window sill, twirling a strand of hair with her slender fingers with red nails.

Leaning her back against the window frame, she lowered her head and smiled at Liu Juanzhi in the yard, then stepped down from the window sill, staring at Liu Juzhi with winking eyes, and slowly closed the window.

Where did this come from... the secret song?Eyes?

I saw that the figures in the window were all gone, but Liu Wangzhi was still staring at that place without blinking, glanced at him with a strange expression, and sneered softly: "Oh, I didn't expect that Lord Snake would also A day when I saw a beautiful woman who couldn’t walk.”

Sure enough, lust is human nature, especially men.

Liu Wangzhi's long eyelashes drooped, he tilted his head to look at me indifferently, and raised his eyebrows casually: "Are you jealous?"

I almost choked on my saliva at what he said, and said angrily, "You think too much", strode after the village head, and entered the house with them.

Liu Wangzhi hooked his lower lip meaningfully, and when his eyes swept across the attic again, his expression slowly turned cold.

The house of the village chief’s house is more unique than I imagined. Except for the furniture made of pear blossom and yellow wood, all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings can be seen almost everywhere.

He led us to the living room, and saw a pear wood sofa carved with peonies surrounded by a root carved tea table, which was filled with white jade and purple sand tea sets, and a furnace of faint sandalwood.

"Please sit down." He asked Liu Wangzhi and me to sit on the sofa, told his grandson to go to the Longjing pot, and then sat down slowly while leaning on the armrest of the sofa, and said, "You two, it is for the snake drive Is it the stick?"

I didn't expect the village chief to be so direct. I subconsciously glanced at Liu Wangzhi, and seeing that he didn't intend to speak, I nodded and said, "Yes, but not all of them. Since you have already mentioned it, can you please go ahead?" Tell us, what is the origin of this stick, and why does it repel snakes?"

The village head put one hand on the armrest of the sofa, rubbed a string of sandalwood beads with the other hand, and said calmly, "Your Bai family has a secret treasure for self-protection, so you should know that it's not unusual." Seeing that I didn't speak, he He said again, "Actually, it's nothing special, it's just the Canaan wood that I begged from the temple to ward off evil spirits."

"Canaan wood?" I was a little surprised, "You mean, the stick is made of wood?"

It was unheard of for a tree to grow that transparent white.

"That's right. Cough cough..." The village head stroked his gray beard, coughed twice, and said, "Canaan wood is the product of polishing and consecrating a special tree. It has the effect of exorcising evil and avoiding evil spirits, and preventing five poisonous snakes and insects." Efficacy. No matter how powerful those harmful snakes are, they will still be afraid when they smell this smell, so it can drive snakes away."

No wonder, that thing came from a temple, and it had been consecrated. In this way, it is indeed a rare treasure.

"Really." Liu Wangzhi sat next to me with his long legs wide open, resting his forehead on one hand, leaning on the armrest with his elbow, looking at the village chief coldly with his clear peach blossom eyes, "It's rare to see the legendary Canaan wood once. I don't know if it's convenient for the village chief to take us to appreciate it, so as to open our eyes?"

What?He is a snake, and he actually asked to see the snake stick?
I tilted my head from an angle that only he could see, and squeezed out a face full of "?", knowing: What the hell is this snake trying to do?
