The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 15
The scene behind made Xia Xiangxi and He Xuan blushed and heartbeats, they were bouncing away from each other as if they had some chemical reaction.

Xia Xiangxi turned her face away, so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.She really regretted it a little. She shouldn't have followed Majuni. What does it matter to her if they fall in love?
When he was about to leave, Xia Xiangxi's foot slipped and he stepped on some stones and went down.She was so frightened that her expression changed, for fear that the stone would hit the Majuni below, and she would discover their bad behavior of peeping again.

When Xia Xiangxi looked down nervously, she caught sight of the two entangled bodies again, her mind exploded with a "buzz", and her heart beat even more like a drum.She hurriedly turned her head away, and for some reason, she bumped into He Xuan's face. She panicked again, her body trembled, and she almost fell off the hillside.With sharp eyes and quick hands, He Xuan grabbed her and pulled her hard. Xia Xiangxi followed this force and fell into He Xuan's arms. He Xuan was unsteady on his feet and fell down. Xia Xiangxi also rolled on the ground with him. .

When Xia Xiangxi came to her senses, her body was pressed against He Xuan's body, and she could clearly feel He Xuan's beating heart, He Xuan's messy breathing, and his shaking body.In such an ambiguous atmosphere, He Xuan was even more afraid than she was, but Xia Xiangxi was not afraid, or she felt that He Xuan could not do anything to belittle her, so she felt relieved a lot.

When Xia Xiangxi was a child, he often heard people say that looking at unclean things would cause needle eyes. Naturally, there were many exaggerated meanings in it, but Xia Xiangxi at least felt that there was one thing that was very reliable, that is, it would be very unlucky.

Because this night, He Xuan was fine, but Xia Xiangxi was fine.When facing He Xuan again, I always feel weird, unnatural like thorns growing all over my body.Women are always a little more stingy than men, and that's normal.

Even though he knew that Ma Zhuni had indeed sneaked back to the village to fall in love with Ma Nan, a boy in the village, Xia Xiangxi didn't dare to talk too much.During the day, Xia Xiangxi could still see and hear Ma Nan coming to Ma Bo's house to propose marriage.Ma Nan's family was quite happy about the marriage.Because Ma Nan's personality is relatively introverted, he doesn't dare to pursue girls generously. Now he is 25 years old and still single. If this is an ordinary Miao man, he will be the father of two or three children at this age.

No matter what Ma Nan begged, Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma still disagreed with this marriage.People in the mountains always yearn for the prosperous life outside the mountains, especially Majuni is a rare high school student compared to this Miao village, who can go to university.The Mabo couple naturally didn't want the golden phoenix, which could fly out of the valley, to fold its wings and return to the mountains.

Even if Uncle Ma was angry, he was just driving Ma Nan out with a dark face because he was hindering his friendship with Ma Nan in the same village.Aunt Ma was different. She not only threw away the bride price offered by Ma Nan, but also beat Ma Nan out of the house with a bamboo broom, and then closed the door of her house firmly.Ma Nan cried and knelt at the door, begging, saying that he must let Ma Zhuni marry him, and if Uncle Ma didn't agree, he would kneel and die here.The attitude is extremely firm.

This is the first time Xia Xiangxi has seen what it means to beat a mandarin duck with a stick!I couldn't help feeling sad for Majuni.

At first, there were quite a lot of people watching the excitement, they all gathered outside Ma Bo's house, pointing fingers and giving different opinions.After a long time, no one came out of Uncle Ma's family, and everyone felt that there was no good show to watch, and scattered about what to do, and gradually Ma Nan was left alone.

Xia Xiangxi happened to be able to see Uncle Ma's house from the Diaojiao building. At noon, he saw Ma Nan still kneeling there. His family brought lunch, but he refused to eat or get up. Xia Xiangxi couldn't help it. Praise for such an infatuated guy.

In the evening, there was a light rain in the sky. Xia Xiangxi couldn't help but think of Ma Nan, so he stretched his neck on the Diaojiao Building and looked towards Uncle Ma's house. He saw that Ma Nan's body was bent like a crooked shrimp. curled up on the ground.Xia Xiangxi hurriedly called He Xuan, and the two of them held an umbrella and rescued the semi-conscious Ma Nan to the Diaojiaolou.

That is to say, as soon as Ma Nan was put on the bed, Grandpa smelled it and came over.This is not an exaggeration. Grandpa did say that he smelled a ghost, so he came here.

Xia Xiangxi was taken aback, she was quite allergic to ghosts recently.At first, I thought Grandpa was saying that Ma Nan was a ghost, and wondered why the silver bell on the porch didn't ring, but after hearing it, I realized that was not the case.Grandpa meant that Ma Nan was tainted with a ghost, so he must have had some contact with a female ghost!
The bowl of ginger soup brought by Ma Po warmed Ma Nan's body, and Ma Nan also woke up, thanking everyone in the room.

Grandpa spoke very straightforwardly, without beating around the bush, and asked Ma Nan if he had clinged to a woman's body last night.When Xia Xiangxi heard this, he immediately remembered how he saw Ma Nan and Ma Zhuni in the field last night, and couldn't help but blushed, lowered his head, and shrank back.

Although Ma Nan was a man, he blushed when his grandfather asked him about his privacy so directly, the young man was as shy as a girl.

"Tell the truth, otherwise your life will be lost, don't blame my old man for not helping you!" Grandpa's expression was quite serious, and Ma Nan was also frightened by his grandpa's expression, his face that was red just now turned pale.After a long time, he nodded, and then raised his head slightly, like a revolutionary soldier who is brave and fearless in the face of the enemy's guillotine, with a heroic momentum!
Grandpa didn't stop asking about someone's privacy, and then forced him to ask, "How long has this been going on?"

Ma Nan said, "It's almost four months!"

Ma Nan's answer surprised Xia Xiangxi. If Ma Nan and Ma Zhuni fell in love recently, she would still believe it.She said they had been together for four months, but she really didn't believe it.When she saw Majuni last time, she didn't see any signs of falling in love!
Does she think that majuni is a ghost?Xia Xiangxi gasped involuntarily, and subconsciously glanced at her grandfather. She felt that she could find the answer on his face.

Xia Xiangxi really guessed right this time, what Grandpa said next really hit the mark.

Ma Nan's head was shaking like a rattle drum, and he refused to believe that the woman he loved was a ghost.When he was with her, the feeling was real!and……

When Ma Nan talked about the critical moment, he suddenly stopped talking, and refused to say anything other than firmly saying that the woman he loved was Majuni.

Ma Nan's refusal to say it doesn't mean that Grandpa doesn't know.Because of his body, grandpa's ability is indeed not as good as before, and that's only in dealing with those particularly powerful ghosts, other little ghosts still can't hide from grandpa's eyes.

Grandpa sneered and said, "Is that girl pregnant with your child, that's why you begged the Ma family to let you marry that girl?"

Grandpa guessed what was on his mind, and Ma Nan was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed.Staring wide-eyed at Grandpa, it took a long time before he nodded and admitted.

Grandpa talked about the dog barking in the village the night before yesterday, Xia Xiangxi's face turned blue because of his grandfather's words, and she clearly remembered that night grandpa said that the "walking corpse" had come.

Ma Nan didn't believe what his grandpa said, until his grandpa yelled, "You bastard, you'll be free when you die, and who will take care of your parents in the future? If you don't wake up, three days After that is your time to die!"

Ma Nan was frightened by his grandpa's aura, and slipped off the bed as soon as his heels softened, and knelt in front of his grandpa.This is how to explain in detail.

Usually, in the face of some things that they are unwilling to accept, people like to lie to themselves and anesthetize themselves with the illusion of their firm belief.

Before grandpa said tonight that the woman Manan liked was a ghost, it wasn't that Manan didn't realize it at all.After all, he and the majuni in his mouth didn't know each other for a day or two.

As the saying goes, what is false cannot be true, what is true cannot be false, and what is false will show flaws no matter how well hidden it is.

Na Ma Nan was introverted by nature, and he always couldn't attract the attention of girls.In his early twenties, it’s okay if he can’t find a partner. Year after year, seeing those partners who grew up with him naked, all marrying wives and having children one by one, Ma Nan’s heart is burning with urgency. , but love is not something that you can figure out a way in a hurry.Ma Nan is still a bachelor at the age of 25. He is originally introverted, but because of his low self-esteem, he is even less talkative.

He himself doesn't like to stay at home, he always finds ways to find some work to do, on the one hand, to make himself less empty, on the other hand, he also avoids his family members, and doesn't want to listen to his parents' constant nagging.

Ma Nan couldn't speak, but he could sing.When he was collecting firewood or working in the mountains, he always liked to sing folk songs, which made him feel more at ease.

Then one day, Ma Nan sang while working, and slowly he seemed to hear a girl singing duet. At first he thought he had heard something wrong, so he stopped singing, and the singing stopped, but when He sang again, and the girl's voice rang out again.It's a pity that I can always hear singing but not see people.

Under such circumstances, Ma Nan prefers to work in the terraced fields, and always comes back very late.

That day, it was already dark, and he was still singing to the girl who didn't know where she was hiding.He was more thoughtful, deliberately stopped singing suddenly, and hid himself.After a while, he really saw the figure of a girl walking towards the field where he was working.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Nan showed up and blocked the girl who had been singing with him for the past few days.

He really didn't expect that the girl turned out to be Majuni from the same village. Marriage with the same surname is not allowed in the clan. Ma Nan found out that he liked the wrong person, so he didn't dare to work in the fields anymore. It was like being ill, but in the end I couldn't bear the torment of longing.Then I went to the place where I met Majuni again.

When it was dark, he thought he would never see Majuni again, but Majuni appeared, and when he saw him, Majuni threw himself into his arms and cried, saying that he missed him.Ma Nan couldn't control his feelings any longer, and hugged Majuni madly, never wanting to let go, and then did those loving things.
