The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 16
After the two had an intimate relationship, they became even more inseparable, and seeing each other every day was like three autumns apart.

Both of them were afraid that the people in the village would find out that they were in love, so they kept hiding.

At the beginning, Ma Nan has always been greedy for the good taste of love. After 25 years of emptiness, he finally has a lover. Seeing Majuni is like falling into a honey pot. It is so sweet that it is too sweet to fall in love. Where is it? Notice something else.Majuni always likes to appear at night, which is not surprising, they are secretly in love, afraid that people in the village will know, of course it is right to hide.It's just that after a long time, Ma Nan still feels a little strange.

Sometimes Majuni would take Ma Nan to a house. The house was beautifully repaired. There were two rooms with single beds. Every time they finished making out, Majuni would let him go, saying that her bed was too small. Can't squeeze two people.Ma Nan asked if there was still a single bed in the other room. He said that he would put the two beds together to make a double bed, but Majuni refused to say anything.Once, while Majuni was asleep, he thought about secretly moving another single bed to Majuni's room. Seeing that the bed was not heavy, he couldn't move it no matter what. Like a few hundred catties.

Majuni never liked to eat, she didn't eat a bite of the food he made, and she turned against him whenever he persuaded her to eat, and only liked to smell the incense and candles.

When the two are together, Majuni also always likes to pester him and keep making out.At this time, she is always gentle like a lamb, which makes Ma Nan cherish her endlessly.But after a while, Majuni's temperament became like a human being, and he looked coldly at him and ignored him.He would also be kicked out of the house in the middle of the night.

Once, it was too cold in the mountains, and he was frozen back by the cold wind when he opened the door.Majuni scolded him before he left, and he responded repeatedly, but he still didn't want to leave, so he pretended to leave and made footsteps, then sneaked back and hid in another room to sleep.At dawn, he was discovered by Majuni, who pushed and shoved him out of the house.He was driven away in a hurry, his feet were unstable, and he fell a big somersault. When he got up from the ground, he saw that the house where Majuni lived was gone, and there was only a pile of weeds and a lonely grave next to him. It made him run home rolling and crawling.

When he met Majuni again, he told Majuni about this strange thing.

Majuni said calmly: "I pushed you too hard at that time, and you rolled down the hillside. I won't do this anymore, so don't be angry." After finishing speaking, he took off his clothes Yes, when Ma Nan saw Majuni's crisp white breasts, he was greedy for the momentary happiness and forgot to care about that matter.

It was also from there that Majuni never took him to that house again, and the weather became warmer. They either found a cave or simply dated in the wild.Every time he came home covered in leaves of grass, his family would be surprised when they saw him like this, and he dared not tell when they asked him.

Ma Nan then told Ma Zhuni about his family's suspicion of him, and talked about the house that Ma Zhuni took him to, and said that there was a good place, why is it still in this barren mountain, the ground is either grass or dirt? , It's very uncomfortable to be on the body!

Majuni said angrily, "If you continue to gossip, I will never see you again!"

Ma Nan didn't dare to mention this anymore, but just kept it in his heart.He secretly searched for it once by himself according to the path he remembered. He obviously felt that he had found the right place, but he couldn't see the house anyway.All he saw was a lonely grave in the weeds, just like the scene he saw when he was driven out of the house by Majuni that day!
He was scared, and when he went back, he tentatively asked the people in the village, and they all said that there was not such a house in that area, and the people in the village could count them with their fingers, who built a house in the mountain, and who in the village It's strange for people not to know.

Ma Nan began to suspect Majuni from then on.I didn't dare to see her again for several days.Majuni went to his house by herself.Crying and scolding him for being so heartless, she was pregnant with his flesh and blood, so if she just didn't want her, she wouldn't have a good life, so she would look for death after all.The noise became louder, waking up Ma Nan's parents.

Originally, Ma Nan fell in love with a girl from the same village, and Ma Nan's parents were extremely opposed to it, but knowing that Ma Zhuni was pregnant with Ma Nan's flesh and blood, they were delighted to finally have a grandson in their arms, so they gritted their teeth and made up their minds , because of the child in Majuni's belly, he was scolded in the village.After a night of discussion like this, things came to fruition.The next day, Ma Nan went to Ma Zhuni's house to propose marriage, and Xia Xiangxi and his grandfather already knew what happened next.

Xia Xiangxi glanced at his grandfather, who seemed to understand what Xia Xiangxi was looking at, and nodded to her.

Xia Xiangxi also roughly understood that she guessed right, the majuni that fell in love with Ma Nan was not a human being, and as for whether it was a ghost or the "walking corpse" that grandpa said that night, she had no ability to say for sure .

Grandpa opened his mouth to tell the truth to Ma Nan. Ma Nan's body shook, and an indescribable sadness flashed in his eyes. Soon the light dimmed. He lowered his head and rubbed his hands together vigorously. Rubbing, I compete with myself.

Xia Xiangxi could tell that Ma Nan must be in great pain, struggling to believe his grandfather's words.Don't believe me, there are many doubts there.If he believed it, he would lose his lover.It will be difficult for anyone to make such a choice!
"Humans and ghosts have different ways, if you continue like this, it will not harm that zombie. It absorbs your yang energy and will only become a more powerful evil animal. You are different. The ghost energy in your body is already heavy, so you can't leave it any longer." Life is hard to save. Think about it yourself!" Grandpa said to Ma Nan calmly, and then sent him away.

When Xia Xiangxi saw that his grandfather didn't say anything to stop Ma Nan from being with that zombie, he thought that his grandfather also pitied Ma Nan for his wrongful love.Unexpectedly, when Ma Nan left, Grandpa told Ma Po that he was going to catch the zombie. Only then did he understand that Grandpa didn't want Ma Nan to see his intentions and influence Grandpa's action.

Xia Xiangxi was still a little naive. She had watched "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" before, and the love between mortals and those female ghosts and demons in it moved her deeply.The most hated are those Taoist priests and mages who want to break up those lovers of human and ghosts. Now grandpa has become the one who breaks up those lovers. She has an indescribable feeling in her heart. Should I sympathize with Manan and that zombie?
Grandpa should have seen what Xia Xiangxi was thinking, and said to Xia Xiangxi solemnly: "Humans and ghosts cannot be together, especially if that zombie is pregnant with a child, it will never become a real human fetus. If the zombie gives birth to a child, everyone in this village will suffer, and when the time comes, a big mistake will be made, and it will not be easy to deal with!"

It seemed that this was the way to say it, but Xia Xiangxi still felt uncomfortable.Thinking that not only will Ma Nan lose his lover, but also that his unborn child will unfortunately not be able to come to this world, so he can't help but sympathize with Ma Nan.

It's useless for Xia Xiangxi to think.The next day, Ma Nan came to look for his grandfather early in the morning.Xia Xiangxi heard Ma Nan shouting from downstairs on the stilts, was disturbed from sleep, got up, put on clothes and walked out of the room.Ma Po has already opened the door for Ma Nan to come up.It has something to do with the moderate rain last night, the sky was covered with mist, Ma Nan was covered in mist, and his hair was all wet. I don't know how long he stayed in the mist before turning himself So cold?At first glance, his face was pale, his lips were blue, he looked like a ghost, which shocked Xia Xiangxi a lot.

Grandpa let Ma Nan into his room, and then closed the door to prevent Xia Xiangxi from following.Xia Xiangxi was listening to the conversation inside by the window. Grandpa and Manan both spoke Miao language, so she could barely understand a sentence or two.After all, I couldn't hear the truth, so I didn't bother to listen, and went to help Ma Po cook.

He Xuan also got up early, just came back from outside with a load of firewood on his back, put the firewood next to the earthen stove, and greeted Xia Xiangxi with a smile.

Seeing that He Xuan's face was also frozen blue, Xia Xiangxi quickly poured hot water for him to drink to keep him warm.He Xuan said thank you, and smiled at Xia Xiangxi, that smile was as beautiful as sunshine, Xia Xiangxi's little heart seemed to hide a small drum in it, and it beat hard twice with a "dong dong", She quickly lowered her head.

Xia Xiangxi lit the stove, and He Xuan helped her pass the firewood. Soon, the pot was filled with heat, and accompanied by the sound of boiling water, a scent of rice overflowed from the pot.

He Xuan said: "We will leave here in the morning and go back to the army."

The firewood in Xia Xiangxi's hand fell to the ground with a "click". She hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it into the stove. At this moment, the fire inside rushed out and burned the back of her hand. return.He Xuan saw it, and grabbed Xia Xiangxi's hand to check if it was burned.Frowning slightly, he said to her, "Be careful!"

Xia Xiangxi let out an "oh", lowered her head, and her smooth long hair slid down from her shoulders, covering half of her face.After a while, she whispered, "Best trip!"

He Xuan nodded fiercely, and then said: "Take good care of Grandpa, I will come back to see you when I have a chance!"

Xia Xiangxi picked up the firewood in the stove with a wooden stick, then turned his face and said to He Xuan with a forced smile: "No need, grandpa and I can't stay here for a long time, until the old friend grandpa wants to see Come back, it's time for us to leave here!",
"Then I'll go to the north to see grandpa during my vacation!" He Xuan chuckled.

Xia Xiangxi turned his face and glanced at He Xuan, and saw He Xuan nodded vigorously to her, as if expressing his promise, Xia Xiangxi's gloomy mood just now suddenly became bright.
