I thought to myself, why doesn't your head know where to turn? That's what I said, why are you in such a hurry?
"Aiya, I've brought the kitchen knife over. Why is the woman at home making lunch?!" As soon as he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said, "You guys chat first, I'll take this back with me. I'll come look for you in the afternoon, don't leave!" After which, he hurriedly left the room.
Glasses and I looked at each other and could not help but shake our heads and smile wryly. He was probably thinking about how to get out of here, and he really did have a screw loose in his head.
I put on my lighter again, and by the way, the grass man burned it. This grass man was made of wheat straw. After a summer of being exposed to the sun, the straw became very dry. As soon as it came into contact with the fire source, it immediately began to burn, emitting a large amount of black smoke. The black smoke was very unusual. Generally, it should not emit smoke, or even if it did, it should be very little. So that made me even more certain that this scarecrow was strange. At the end of the fire, the grass man gave off a foul stench, and we couldn't stand it any longer, so we left the yard and went to the back of the house to stay by the side of the road.
At this time, Wu Rilan suddenly said, "That guy who was slashed a thousand times told the tall daughter-in-law's fortune, I think it was to trick the tall one into having a new life. If he knows the word 'tall', then he's in danger. "
The eight words, "Birthday", were used when a person was born. It included the time when they were born, and it was called the four pillars. The four pillars were arranged in a row of eight words, so it was called the eight words. We used to say four columns and eight words, that's how it came about. These eight words often contained a person's fate and the relationship between life and death. There were even some experts who could deduce a person's fate. As such, the eight characters were extremely important. Generally, one could not casually reveal it to others because they were afraid that they would fall into the wrong hands and mess with others. In ancient times, when people talked about marriage, the word "double" would appear in eight characters, and people would find that it didn't match with the word. The modern era's concept of the word "eight" had already faded, so no one would discuss its interests.
Now that Wu Rilan suddenly said it, it really made me realize. It was very possible that Huang Xuanlong had personally come to pay them a visit. His goal might be very simple, just as Wu Ruilan had said, to find out how he had managed to find the door, but it was impossible to know how he had found the door.
"Is there any way to deal with it?" I asked. It is because we do not know whether or not Huang Xuan Long is able to grasp the phrase "birthdate", but we still have to prepare for the worst.
"I do have a way, but I don't know if it will work." Wu Rilan sighed. "I don't even dare to enter this room now. I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for me since you chased that thing away."
I thought I could do it if I could, not too passively, so I looked at the glass and motioned for him to say something else. Glassglass saw the look in my eyes and said, "As the saying goes, there is mutual trust between fortune and disaster. This thing has never been decided before, so you have done well. Don't you think so? "
Wu Rilan seemed to think it made sense and nodded.
"Right now, Huang Profound Dragon is alone, and allows him to stir up a few layers of waves. As long as we twist him into a rope and work together to take down him, then this place will recover to its former state. People should go down to the ground and sleep, how could there be so many problems."
He was a businessman after all, so his way of speaking was really different. With just a few sentences, he had drawn Wu Rilan to his topic, leaving no trace behind. On the contrary, it gave others the feeling that Huang Profound Dragon would be the one to kill him, so taking him down was a matter that they had to do.
Glass saw that his words were effective, so he continued, "Knowing this is the best way to win a hundred battles. Fighting with him wasn't just a matter of physical strength and magic power, but also a matter of brains. Although we have many people, we know very little. This is a very unequal battle. "So we have to stand at a higher level and have more information so that it will be powerful for our war."
I thought, I was just praising you for your words just now. Why did you suddenly go downhill? You were talking about war and resistance, war and the like. How could she, a rural woman, understand that?
I saw that Wu Rilan was indeed still slowly tasting the glass, and probably didn't know what to do with the glass at the moment. It looks like I have to reveal some of the things I did when I came in. Therefore, I, Wu Rilan, stood to the side and whispered, "Huang Xuanlong forced your husband's soul to the bottom of the well. Your son was even unwilling to reincarnate because he mistakenly dragged his father into the water, did you know that?"
When Wu Rilan heard this, she suddenly widened her eyes and looked at me in disbelief. Her mouth trembled as she said, "You …" You already know about it? "
From her expression, I could tell that she knew about it earlier than I did. But why didn't she mention it? Was it because she was worried that I wouldn't be able to help her and would instead cause trouble? So I whispered, "You know?"
Wu Rilan nodded with a sad face, but she didn't cry. She just wiped her eyes out of habit. I think she cried for too long. There were no longer any tears left on her face. Wu Ruilan was quiet for a while before she said, "Do you think that I invited the gods to protect myself? I did so to save them from Huang Xuan Long."
I felt a jolt as I listened to this, and suddenly I felt the woman in front of me become so strange, so small, standing with her. Even if her efforts were useless, this sort of feeling surpassed the barriers between the human and ghost realms. It was truly admirable. I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head, trying to gather my thoughts, because what she had just said had shaken me and confused my thoughts. I opened my eyes and looked at Wu Rilan. I said slowly, "Leave this matter to us." I said it firmly, not on impulse, but because I felt I should and must do it for the sake of their unbroken kinship.
Wu Ruilan looked at me in surprise. The muscles on her face trembled, her mouth opened, but she didn't say anything. In the end, she slowly kneeled down before me.
I never expected Wu Rilan to kneel down to a little kid like me. I panicked and immediately helped him up. "Big sister Rilan, don't be like this." Everything will be all right, believe me. But right now, I need to ask you a few things about you and Huang Profound Dragon so that we have a better chance of winning. "
With my support, Wu Ruilan stood up and calmed down. She then said, "Whatever you guys want to ask and I know, I'll tell you."
I looked around. To the north of the road was a small river, the place where Sanfu had played when he was scared silly. There were a few stones by the river for people to sit on. It was noon and there was no one, so we walked over. I motioned to the glass for him to ask, because although there were some things I had experienced personally, I didn't have his work to do in my head. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the main point and would be wasting my time.
Glass thought for a moment, then pointed at Wu Ruilan's ankle and said, "Big sister Ruilan, can you tell me about your calf? I think it must have something to do with this. "
Not only did he not expect this from the start, even I didn't think that he would bring it up so quickly. Our minds were focused on the grudge between her and Huang Profound Dragon. I looked at the glass and motioned for him to change the subject. But when she looked at Wu Rilan, she didn't even look at me.
Wu Ruilan sighed and said, "This calf of mine was naturally given to me by Huang Xuanlong."
I was surprised to find that the glass actually hit the spot.
As for Wu Rilan's calves, as I said before, they had a very thin section, and the bottom was very thick, as if someone had grabbed them and pulled them down, rubbed them all down, and piled them up there, while the bones seemed to have been squeezed too hard and thin. And according to the glass, there was a handprint on the thin section. Now I can see that there really are, black, adult handprints, especially obvious. There was only one explanation for holding the bone so it wouldn't shatter, and that was that the one holding her leg wasn't a human at all.
There was a lot of story about this leg, with the front and the back, almost all of it strung together. Therefore, the glass question could be said to have not only asked the main point, but also asked the key point. In the course of Wu Ruilan's narration, the face of San Fu, who had been beaten up, came over to make trouble. He jumped around us, tried to push Wu Ruilan a few times, and was finally scolded by me. As he rushed over in the afternoon, he gritted his teeth and felt indignant at the side as well.
In order to make things easier for everyone to understand, I told the story in chronological order. Because it had been a while, Wu Rilan could not remember some parts clearly. In order to ensure the fluency of reading, I added some things to connect the whole thing. Of course, this was done on the basis of not changing the general trend of the situation, so the incident itself was still relatively close to the truth.
The story begins with last August, when we had a drought and the villagers drew water from the well to water the land. Li Caizhong, Wu Rilan's husband, had already mentioned this before. Considering that there were too many pumps during the day, he chose to work at night. Therefore, in the vast Stone Monkey Land and the northern part of the mountain, there were only two people: Wu Rilan and Li Caizhong. According to Wu Rilan, it was already past midnight, but the water pressure decreased as the water lance sprayed out water. Furthermore, the water was very muddy. There was only one possibility, and that was that the water level was too low and the pump was out.
Li Caizhong let Wu Ruilan rest for a while. He went to put the water pump in the well pond. Wu Ruilan warned him to be careful during the night. He waved his hand and said that he had nothing to do. The two of them were at the northwest side of the well, about 50 to 60 meters away from the well. Wu Rui Lan sat on the ground and watched Li Caizhong put out the tractor and went down. Because the well was far from the village and there was no power supply, people used tractors to drive the pumps to pump water. After a while, Wu Rilan suddenly heard a "Ouch!" coming from the well. Wu Rilan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Li Caizhong couldn't have slipped and fallen right. Thus, no one paid any attention to him. Wu Ruilan knew that something was going to happen, so she quickly got up and ran towards the well. Hearing the sound of splashing from the well, Wu Rilan became anxious and hastened her steps. But by the time she reached the well, it was quiet again and there was no one around. There was only a pair of shoes at the pump. Wu Rilan was startled. She had a bad premonition. She repeatedly called out a few times, but no one replied. Wu Rilan looked at the surface of the water and instantly understood what was going on. She could not help but burst into tears.
