"Sister-in-law, there seems to be a sister in red clothes in your room, smiling at you. Is she a relative of yours?"
This sentence instantly froze the atmosphere at the scene, and everyone looked at Shu Jiaying who was standing in front of them.
Of the three people gathered in a circle, Luo Cuicui, the eldest daughter of Luo Gou'er's family, was the first to speak. She pointed at Shu Jiaying and asked, "Ugly thing, what are you talking about? What woman in red? I just came out of my second sister-in-law's house, and there's no one there at all."
Shu Jiaying looked innocent.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I just saw a woman lying on the table in my second sister-in-law's main room, listening to you guys talking with great interest. She was pulling out the tongues of the dummies one by one, and it seemed like she was trying to see whose tongue was longer.
"Second sister-in-law, Cuicui, and Zhou's sister-in-law, the colors of the clothes on those three mannequins are exactly the same as what you are wearing now. Eh... That's strange, how come the woman in red and those three mannequins suddenly disappeared?"
After hearing what Shu Jiaying said, Dong, the daughter-in-law of Tan Er's family, Luo Cuicui, the eldest daughter of Luo Gou'er's family, and Li, the daughter-in-law of Zhou Datong's family, became nervous. The three of them turned their heads stiffly at the same time to look at the house behind them. Although they didn't see anything, they felt inexplicably scared in their hearts.
Dong quickly tugged at Li's hand, her imagination running wild as she imagined, "I heard that when the Broom Star fell into the river, she was wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes. She must have been targeted by the water ghosts in the river at the time, but she escaped. Now the water ghosts in the river can't find a replacement. Do you think she will come ashore and find another one to serve as a substitute?"
Li thought about it and she also thought that this was possible.
"I think so. Otherwise, why would the ghost suddenly appear in your house when we were talking about the unlucky star? The ugly guy said that the ghost pulled the three dummies representing us and made them lick each other's tongues. She must have talked about the unlucky star more than any of us, so one of us must be destined to be with her. Maybe the ghost will really take the person she is destined to be with away. Oh my god... It's so scary."
"Sisters-in-law, please stop talking. If you keep talking, I won't dare go home alone. Forget it... I'll go back while it's still light."
Not wanting to become a substitute for the female ghost, Luo Cuicui ran back to her home.
Li didn't dare to stay any longer. Just as she was about to speak, Dong took her hand.
"Cousin, your cousin-in-law and my father-in-law haven't come home yet. How about I go to your house and sit for a while, and then I'll go home when your cousin-in-law and his family come back?"
Li nodded.
"Close the door first, and then we'll go together."
"good!"
Seeing Dong and Li hurriedly closing the door and fleeing, Shu Jiaying had been suppressing the urge to laugh. In fact, she just wanted to scare these gossips so that they would stop talking so much in the future. Who would have thought that they would make up such an interesting story in their minds?
This is a good thing. If this story spreads from their mouths, Shu Jiaying thought, people in this village will not dare to cause trouble for Feng Qiaoer easily in the future.
Hehehe…
With cheerful steps, Shu Jiaying continued walking towards Erlang's house. When she was about to reach Erlang's house, she saw a wisp of green smoke floating out from Erlang's kitchen.
Shu Jiaying suddenly remembered a poem:
Looking two or three miles away,
There are four or five houses in the smoke-filled village.
There are six or seven trees in front of the door.
Eighty or ninety branches of flowers.
This poem belongs to her era, and at this moment, she actually felt homesick.
