Marry A Devil Princess

"From the way to the village from the outside, we can see that there are few outsiders in this village on weekdays." Gu Qingci wiped the mud on his boots and said to the egret.

The egret nodded, "so is our family. On weekdays, there are few outsiders. From my birth to now, I have seen outsiders in the mountains three times."

Gu Qingci asked curiously, "three times? Helian city is one time, mu xuanjing is one time, and there is another? "

The egret shook her head. "It was something I did when I was a child. I can't remember it. It's just what my grandmother said before."

Gu Qingci didn't take it seriously, and his thoughts were attracted by Dongquan village in front of him.

The village is located in a wooded area with few stone paved roads. Several houses are almost surrounded by vines.

The egret frowned. "Do they not take care of it? It looks like a deserted wilderness.

Gu Qingci looked at the moss on the ground and nodded: "yes, even if it is a mountain village, it should not be so lonely."

Walking on the way to Dongquan village, she could not feel the smoke.

Walking, the egret touched his stomach, "so hungry, isn't it time for dinner?"

Gu Qingci looked at the sky. Because it was cloudy and rainy today, we couldn't see the time at the moment. But judging from the fact that the egret felt hungry, it should be near dinner.

But to Gu Qingci's surprise, there were no chimneys and smoke in all the houses we could see. It was not like the time to prepare dinner.

Gu Qingci frowned. If it hadn't been for the opening and closing of the windows and doors of the house, she would have doubted whether there was anyone living here.

The egret quickly jumped over a dead branch in the way, and then said in surprise, "sister Qingci, you see, there are people washing clothes there!"

Gu Qingci went to the egret. Sure enough, he saw an old woman washing clothes, so they walked across the stone road.

Seeing Gu Qingci and egret, the old woman was startled, and then she picked up the pot and was about to leave.

Gu Qingci stopped her, "Granny, don't be afraid. We are here to find someone."

Look up, old woman, I don't know you

"We haven't said who we're looking for, how do you know you don't know?" the egret cried

The old woman didn't say a word. She was about to leave in front of her. Gu Qingci still wanted to stop her. A man's voice came from a distance, "Niang!"

Gu Qing resigned and let the old woman speed up her pace. She looked at the egret and said, "let's go. Let's go and have a look."

In front of the man, Gu Qingci said: "excuse me, we are the servants of last week's family in the town. The master sent us to find the Yao family. I wonder if we can show us the way."

The man took a look at Gu Qingci and egret, then pointed out a direction, went straight ahead, saw the intersection, turned right, and then went straight. The house with the fence is there

Soon, Gu Qingci and egret follow the man's Guide to find the Yao family.

There is only one old woman with a little granddaughter in Yao's family. When Gu Qingci knocks the door, Yao's old lady and her little granddaughter are having dinner.

It's just that there are no decent hot dishes on the table. They are all cold steamed bread and cold dishes.

Gu Qingci took out the money and handed it to him, "old man, I'm sorry. This is a little token of the Zhou family for you."

Old lady Yao didn't show much sadness. After taking the silver, she was muttering something. Gu Qingci vaguely felt that she was chanting scriptures.

Think of the elderly is probably because the sadness is too much, so it can only use the way of chanting to solve the depression in the heart.

So Gu Qingci advised a few words, but old lady Yao didn't respond much, just murmured in her mouth.

When old lady Yao finished reading the Sutra, Gu Qingci asked, "old man, we want to stay here for one night."

The old lady Yao was a little stunned, but she quickly nodded her head and agreed. She also cleaned up a room for Gu Qingci and egret.

After entering the house, the egret and Gu Qingci said: "the old woman is so strange that she has only two granddaughters. The eldest granddaughter has just died and her bones are not cold. She can't see how sad she looks."

Gu Qingci wrung eyebrow way: "perhaps just misunderstanding, observe again."

When it was not time for a stick of incense, the egret who went out to look for food returned to the house again. She went to Gu Qingci and complained, "sister Qingci, there is no hot thing in the kitchen, even firewood can't be seen, and there is no ash in the stove. What do they eat?"

Gu Qingci suddenly thought of one thing. When they saw Dongquan village, they had already ordered a meal, but every family did not have a cigarette. It seemed that there was no fire at all.

She was surprised and said to the egret, "I'll go out and have a look."

Out of the house, Gu Qingci just met old lady Yao.

Old lady Yao is holding a dustpan in her hand. There are some residual peanuts and beans in it. It seems that she has returned from the memorial ceremony.

Gu Qingci said hello and talked to old lady Yao.

After saying a few words about Aunt Yao's illness, Gu Qingci found that old lady Yao did not have any doubts and sadness, but was very insipid."It's all her life."

In this era, many old people are like this. They are obedient and put everything in order. Gu Qingci has no much doubt.

Said, Gu Qingci asked about the previous thing, "heard that a man died in the village a while ago, like a boy."

Old lady Yao, who has always been calm, took a look at Gu Qingci and then denied, "no one died in the village a while ago, let alone a boy."

Gu Qingci asked again, "can you remember wrong?"

Old lady Yao shook her head. "The village is so big. There are more people and less people. I know it in my heart."

Gu Qing frowned, thinking about the kitchen, and said, "Granny, there is no firewood in the kitchen, and the Zhou family has given a lot of money. Buy some back this morning."

Old lady Yao shook her head. "No, there is no fire in this village."

Gu Qing looked at her in surprise, "what? No fire? "

"We worship the mountain god, we can't make a fire," she said

Looking at Gu Qingci, she also asked. Old lady Yao looked at Gu Qingci thoughtfully. "Our village has its own way of living, and it has always been very peaceful."

Gu Qingci nodded, "yes, very calm."

It was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

Seeing that old lady Yao was about to enter the house, Gu Qingci got up and said, "you go back first. I'll go out for a walk."

As she walked, she said, "it's getting dark. Come back early."

Out of the door, Gu Qingci saw a few people coming back from afar, which looked like they were coming back from the mountains.

Indeed, no one came back with firewood.

Gu Qingci also asked several villagers openly and secretly. Without exception, they all denied what happened before.

"Girl, don't say these bad words. Our village is very good, there are no dead people!"

"Yes, what are you comfortable with? Just like those who didn't know why before, ask weird questions

"Let's go and ignore it."

By the villager cold eye opposite, Gu Qingci smile back, make way for the road, "Xu is wrong."

In her heart, she almost doubted, was it really wrong? Was it Huaiqing's illusion?

However, at this time, Gu Qingci saw Yao's little granddaughter staggering outside, holding something in her hand.
