Fast Time: Infinite Quest

Chapter 16 The Little Cauldron's Wish (2)

The girl smiled, slowed down, and walked with old man Li, and kept talking about what happened when old man Li was not in the village today.

Old man Li was smoking the dry tobacco unique to mountain people, while listening with a smile.

"Grandpa, let me tell you, my aunt's elder brother is lost again today, I don't know how many days it will be until he comes back this time, really, I don't know what the mountain god master is always taking him to play with!"

"Grandpa, the third master's family has been talking about it, saying that he sees through the past and the future, Wu Daozi, who communicates with gods and ghosts, suddenly went crazy today, yelling something, "Run, run, disaster is coming, the breath of disaster is approaching, the breath of disaster is approaching." The breath is approaching!' He was tied back to the mountain by the third master, saying he wanted him to wake up properly."

"By the way. Grandpa, our family doesn't need to cook tonight! Even the village doesn't need to cook a lot of food. Does Grandpa know why?" The girl looked at Old Man Li with shining eyes. After watching, Old Man Li smoked Taking a breath, following the girl's words, she asked.

"What?"

Seeing that Grandpa asked, the girl pretended to be a storyteller she had seen in a tea house from afar, and coughed twice.

"Ahem. Speaking of today, something big happened in that village! Didn't the youngest son of the second uncle's family go to school this year? Grandpa, do you know? He came back today, and brought back a very good-looking brother and There are a lot of things, it is said that he was taken by the people of the school, and he wanted to keep something, and he brought back a lot of things, which are beautiful, and the second aunt said that he will have dinner at his house tonight! There are so many..."

The girl was trying to imitate the storyteller's tone in front of her, but she became more and more excited as she talked later, she had long forgotten the meaning of showing off, and she just kept talking, but she didn't see that old man Li is not listening to her at all now Going down, looking at the sun that was about to set, his eyes were already in a trance.

Academy!It used to be old man Li's pride!Because the girl's biological father, old man Li's son, is the only promising person who has entered the academy in the past 20 years!Back then, Li Daniu's evaluation was also very high, and there was no one who didn't want to come to friendship with his neighbors. It was for this reason that old man Li became the village head of Lijia Village, and was respected by all the people in the village!
But the school is also the pain of old man Li, because of the school, old man Li has no way to see his son for the last time, as for the granddaughter, his daughter-in-law's sister sent it back, and the daughter-in-law is also because of excessive sadness, lack of energy, dystocia And died.Moreover, since Li Daniu's death, old man Li has seen through the faces of his neighbors, and he has calmed down. He no longer helps others as stupidly as before. Old man Li doesn't care about the warmth and coldness of the world. I can feel at ease by leaving my son as my only flesh and blood and growing him up.

After thinking about it, old man Li couldn't help but slow down.

"...Grandpa and the others said that being admitted to a school is a very promising thing, right?" The girl turned her head, but she didn't notice anything unusual about Old Man Li, she still looked at Old Man Li expectantly and asked.

"Well, good luck, good luck..." Old man Li answered the girl's sentence smoothly, but he also came back from the memory, looked at the smile on the girl's face, and smiled gratifiedly.

Seeing that the entrance of the village was getting closer, the girl secretly glanced at old man Li, thinking about what grandpa said when he went out, she swallowed a few times, hesitating and hesitating.In the end, he still couldn't match the temptation of the red-headed rope.Walking carefully to Old Man Li's side, he said.

"Grandpa, I have done a lot of things today... I have already memorized the pig food for the day after tomorrow, and I have fed the pigs today, and I have pulled out the grass in the vegetable garden, and, today I also put away the newly hatched chicks, and put them in the kitchen..."

Although, these are all things I do on weekdays, and usually the girl would tell old man Li, but today, the girl always feels that it is different, the heartbeat is about to rush out of her throat, and the girl comforts herself because the burden is too heavy , but the shame in my heart can't stop.

In fact, she really wanted to take her beautiful red headband and go for a walk by the river.

It is a custom in the village to walk along the river once with a red headband, and you will be blessed by Hebo and find a good husband.

Old man Li couldn't remember what the girl said at first, but seeing the girl talking faster and walking faster and faster, he suddenly thought of something and was stunned.Then he looked at the back of the girl walking under the tree by the side of the village and smiled.He took out the red-headed rope that he had hidden in his inner coat, looked at it, and wrapped it back again.He whispered as if sighing.

"Women don't stay in college."

But some of the words are not melancholy, but full of relief.The child has grown up safely and happily, and half of my wish has been fulfilled. If I live a few days and give myself a great-grandson... then I will die in peace, Old Man Li thought with a smile.

Looking at the girl who ran away, she shouted.

"Girl, slow down, slow down..."

Seeing the girl stopped under the big tree at the entrance of the village, old man Li followed quickly, still muttering in his heart, red-headed rope, red-headed rope, I hope the river god will bless the girl, so that the girl can have an honest and capable girl good husband.

"Ah..." Suddenly the girl's scream made old man Li worry, the fear in the voice made old man Li take a step back, and he was behind the girl in a few steps. But it was stuck in the throat. At this time of weekdays, according to the normal situation, there should be smoke from every house in the village, and the farm men who came home on the trail should be driving cattle while shouting loudly. Talking about the gossip I heard today, or finding snakes, toads, etc. in the field, and running away as soon as they saw people, or being regarded as trophies, originally put in the basket, but now they are complacent in their hands Boasting, under the admiring eyes of others, he said that he would have a pot of dragon and phoenix soup when he got home, and asked everyone to taste it together.

However, today there is nothing, no fire smoke, and no children running around on weekdays!I don't know why, old man Li has an inexplicable fear and desire to escape from the bottom of his heart!
escape!
Old man Li pulled up the girl and wanted to run back!But I don't know if it was because of the girl's scream, or the old man Li threw a load and hit a yellow thing under the tree. The originally quiet village suddenly heard shrill screams and ferocious laughter.

"Run, run away? Didn't I give you time? Why? Don't you run away? Hahahaha..."

"My lord, my lord, you go around my baby, he is only five years old! It is impossible to steal your things, my lord."

"Hehe... My lord said he stole it! He stole it! Hmph! Since you have been given the opportunity to escape, you have no ability to escape from this village, so don't blame me for being cruel! Babes! It's time for dinner. "

Just as the big man's words fell, the dark pedestrians not far behind him suddenly turned into thousands of copies and flew towards Shen Laoliu. After Heiliu left, a pale skeleton fell to the ground!

"Ah ah ah..."

Appreciating Shen Laoliu's screams, the black-faced man glanced at the unconscious boy in his hand, he seemed to be in a good mood, he looked at Shen Laoliu with great kindness and said.

"For the sake of giving birth to a child born on the sunny day of the sunny year, I will give you a good time and leave your whole body!"

While saying that, the black-faced man did not see any movement, Shen Laoliu suddenly stopped screaming, and fell straight backwards, the black shadow that was originally wrapped around Shen Laoliu's body, at some point, floated on the ground again. Behind the black-faced man.

Heifeng looked at the boy born in the Yang year, the moon, and the sun with satisfaction. This was already the fifth village he had looted with blood. When he thought that the boys and girls requested by the great elder were only a year away The girl who was born in the cloudy time has completed the task, and the generous reward after completing the task made Hei Xunfeng grin, and a rare smile appeared on his face, but that ferocious smile only made people feel cold and miserable !
