Chapter 92.
The old woman was full of surprise, the wrinkles on her face are taut, pause for half a day, before swallowing and asking Ding Ding, said, so you …… are here to find your mom?
I look at the play, it is possible to use this excuse, we are able to draw close to the relationship with these two old people, live here slowly to inquire about the nine Mrs. and that the things of the yin streamer may also be possible.
But Ding Ding this brain can not turn the corner, expression became serious, righteously said, no, we are here to travel to collect wind, lost!
My face immediately collapsed, the little kid is also a cover his head, don't look away, seems to be very speechless.
Which knows that this old woman sighed, also did not mind, said this way, if you can not leave today, then I take you to your mother's home to see, but those people in your family, are not very like her, may be a little difficult. Whether or not you can live down is not my call.
I was happy in my heart, busy grabbing in front of Ding Ding to say a word of thanks to them, the two old men still had a pained expression, sighed and shook his head, said nothing, turned around and led us towards the village.
On the way, I considered for a while and opened my mouth to chat with them, wanting to know something about Mrs. Nine.
Those two old men seemed reluctant to mention much, I could see their expressions, as if they had something difficult to say, but despite that, I asked out quite a lot of things in general.
These two people were about the same age as Mrs. Nine, but lived in this poor mountain valley, working all year round, and did not go out much, there is nothing to aspire to the world outside of the mountains, I guess they are used to this kind of peaceful days. She looks much older than Mrs. Nine.
They would have been children growing up together, every family in this village knows each other, since childhood are also used to the wild, a group of children are playing together, only Mrs. Nine, because since childhood to be able to see the ghosts and monsters of the reason, the village people call her a freak, and even their own siblings are excluded from her.
I guess they didn't think that Mrs. Nine could make a good living out of it, but thinking about her childhood treatment here, I guess she was very unhappy, no wonder she never wanted to come back after she went out.
Anyway, for a long time, Mrs. Nine in this village, is an object of ostracism, her peers are afraid of her, do not dare to play with her, the older ones hate her, dislike her, playing small are all alone.
I was curious about how this old man and woman became friends with Mrs. Nine in that environment, and now it seems that when it comes to Mrs. Nine's childhood experiences, these two people still have some guilty feelings.
Ding Ding has been listening to us on the side, not a word, I'm not sure if her childhood is also like Mrs. Nine so unsatisfactory, but I think, Mrs. Nine so love him, I guess it is also empathy, afraid of Ding Ding was bullied by other people, so Ding Ding than other people to be pampered a little.
This old man and old woman talking about childhood, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing, I am still young, and do not know what kind of emotion they will have when they recall the past.
But they talked with gusto, and I also finally understood how the two men turned their enemies into friends with Mrs. Nine. In fact, to put it simply, probably is a village fire, Mrs. Nine risked his life to rush in to save the two to come out, the fire was too big, many adults do not dare to go in, but no one has not Mrs. Nine so small a child dared to rush in.
I was a little surprised, said I did not expect Auntie Yu quite bold ah.
The old man sighed, his eyes towards the distance, as if he saw the scene of the year, said we were still young, also scared, see her rushed in, the first feeling is to save us, but later realized that she is to seek death!
The little ghost and I froze for a moment, and Ding Ding also raised his head violently, looking at the old man in disbelief.
The old woman beside him gently patted her shoulder and sighed, saying that at that time, Xiaoyu rushed in and sat in the fire and didn't move. Those adults outside kept screaming at us to run out quickly, but we were too scared to move except to cry, and then I don't know what Xiaoyu thought, looked at us for a while, stood up and pulled us towards the outside. We were too scared to move, and as a result, because of this, Xiaoyu's back was also burned by the fire, leaving a large scar.
I looked over towards Ding Ding, and he looked at me and nodded, supposedly confirming the scar.
I also can't figure out what Mrs. Nine was thinking back then, but in the end, I guess it can only be attributed to the saying that people's words can be feared, in such a closed village, looking at those people's contemptuous eyes every day, listening to their gossip, I guess no one has the courage to live. Not to mention that she was still a child back then.
But after that experience, Mrs. Nine's life had a tiny transformation, perhaps because she had saved the lives of these two men, and they slowly began to accept Mrs. Nine's existence. Though this may not seem like much, but probably to Mrs. Nine, being able to have someone who accepts her is probably more important and valuable than anything else.
Mrs. Nine continued to live here for twenty years, but in the end, she couldn't stand the sneering words in the village and left after all.
She didn't say goodbye to her family, she just packed some simple luggage, and only these two people knew about her leaving. That night, they gave Mrs. Nine a farewell, and although they had advised her many times, when Mrs. Nine was determined to leave, they also realized how much pressure Mrs. Nine had been under in her life for the past twenty years.
Since then, the two had never heard from Mrs. Nine again, and they didn't even know whether she was alive or dead.
I was a bit skeptical of the story they were telling, after all, it had been so long since the incident, even if the feelings were deep, I guess they couldn't recall what Mrs. Nine looked like, not to mention seeing the resemblance between Ting Ting and Mrs. Nine at a glance.
But the old man said, in fact, this is not strange, Xiaoyu in the family ranked ninth, there are four sisters above, siblings look alike, looking at them, in fact, the same as looking at Xiaoyu.
Said, he looked at Ding Ding, his gaze became much warmer, said Moreover, their family has a few children, look like this child is also a bit like, just now are more than forty people, none of them have such a young.
I said in my heart that is, even if Mrs. Nine went out at that time, a person who had lived here for more than twenty years and had seen nothing, it must have been very difficult to go out to fight, and I thought that I had suffered a lot, and then it was not easy to get to know Tintin's father, and then he was born.
We talked on the one hand, one side around the village of those winding paths, suddenly saw the innermost part of the village, there is a very prominent building, brick and tile structure, higher than the next house to be a lot of cylindrical, at first glance like a bunker, some unusual.
I had seen pictures of this kind of building on the Internet today, somewhat similar to the shape of the ancient Hakka buildings in Fujian, but I had never heard of it on this side of the southwest.
But the little ghost suddenly tugged at me and whispered in my ear, Tan Xi, that yin streamer is in that building.
I looked down and thought about it for a moment, thinking that it was too damn conspicuous.
Tintin obviously felt it too, and glanced towards that ancient building, his face full of doubt.
I pretended to know nothing, asked the old man, said the old man, this house is a little special ah, quite beautiful, what is the place.
The old man looked in the direction of my finger, slightly narrowed his eyes, said that ah, is a family of our village shrine, but the family has long since moved away, and now only a relative's children in that guard, these years have not seen their family back, our village people discussed with him, changed the inside into a small temple, to give a place to worship the gods and return the wish.
I mouth "oh oh" a few times, and asked the little ghost, said how do you want to go to see, anyway, now there are villagers accompanied, not afraid of that yin streamer ghosts.
The little ghost bad smile, said try to go.
After that, he put on a pious look and asked the old man, saying, "Master, I have a problem with this person, is sewing the temple must worship. I don't know if we can go in and kowtow to a foreigner like us, otherwise I can't get over it in my heart and feel that I'm not pious.
The old man looked embarrassed, said I did not expect you young, also believe in these things. But this place is not just enter, that guard the mansion of the children only let us go in twice a month, that is, on the first and fifteenth day of the month. After all, people live there, so said, we are not good to disturb.
I secretly said in my heart, this yinhata problem how so much, even the house has been changed into a temple, also give people set a time to go in, in the end, what is the name of the game.
But I can't show it, I can only pretend to be uninterested, said to the old man, people can vacate the house, it is a good thing to do, I don't know what is the name of this family?
The old man thought for a moment, said this house is too long, do not know which year built, my grandfather had something when he was a child, that family usually do not come to play with the village, I probably remember their family name Xie. The child who guards the house now is estimated to be a few years younger than you, and the person is relatively kind, called Xia Ruxuan.
I listened to the name of this yin streamer is quite literary, and the train to see that look is also quite match, but will also blow cock to attract snakes, I guess it is a literary paradigm. But such a person, guard here to do something?
I was thinking out of my mind, the result was tugged by Ding Ding, he came to my side, said Tan Xi, do you have the feeling that this is what my mom wants you to find ah?
I looked at him strangely and said, "Where did you see that?
Tintin blinked, looked at the ancient building, said now as long as it can be associated with a little something, I can not help but associate ah, you see the original owner of this building surnamed Xie, right? You see, the original owner of this building was surnamed Xie, right? Who do you think can be associated with this surname now?
I thought about it for a while, and suddenly came up with a very bad idea to ask him suspiciously, do you mean the two mouths of women …… Xie Ning?
Ding Ding nodded and said There is also, that yin streamer is called Xia Ruxuan, and your mother is also surnamed Xia!
