Chapter 512: Soul from Another World
"So, our ox cart was pushed back by them?"
"No wonder he has so much resentment..." Xie Yuzhou widened his eyes in astonishment. Sure enough, Lu Chaochao could use the magic to push the cart.
Ah Man was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"My goodness, I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered something like this."
Fortunately, there was no danger and we returned to the village safely.
Then she looked at the old cow with heartache. This was the ox cart she bought after selling snail noodles for half a year.
Seeing that the old cow was injured, Xie Yuzhou simply decided not to go up and just walked with her into the village.
It was already late at night and the doors and windows in the village had already been closed.
Hearing the noise outside the door, someone secretly opened the window and took a peek, and saw Ah Man, and then... bang...
Close the window immediately.
"I was born in a coffin, which is an unlucky sign. People in the village don't like to talk to me." She smiled awkwardly, with a bit of loss in her expression.
"How can it be a bad omen? Your mother died, but you were able to be born safely. This should be a great fortune."
"You are alive and well, your deceased mother should be very happy."
Ah Man was stunned, and suddenly felt that this carefree young boy had some Buddhist nature.
"Okay, I will live well."
"I haven't found my scumbag father yet, and I haven't reported to my mother yet."
She has lived in the village for more than ten years, and everyone in the village avoids her like the plague. Except for her grandmother, the whole village wouldn't talk to her.
Now, with two more friends, it becomes more interesting.
A few people walked through the village and came to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Ah Man pointed to the lush green mountain behind him, with a bitter look on his face: "My mother went into that mountain and disappeared. When she came back, she was already pregnant with me."
"I have tried to enter the mountain countless times, but there is fog and evil spirits in the mountain, so I can only wander around the periphery. I have entered the mountain several times but returned empty-handed."
"Forget it, let's not talk about these annoying things."
The single-family courtyard at the foot of the mountain is a bit quiet, with a closed wooden door and a fence surrounding it, and a lot of vegetables planted inside.
"Grandma, I'm home, please open the door." Her voice sounded a little abrupt under the moonlight.
After a while, the lights in the house were turned on.
The old man staggered to open the wooden door.
"Grandma, I'm back. These are the two little benefactors I met today. They came to stay at home." She smiled, but the moment the old woman saw her, her eyes suddenly darkened.
"Why are you back again? Today... today is your engagement day!"
Ah Man's eyes deepened slightly and he lowered his head.
"Well, A'man doesn't want to get married. She wants to stay with grandma and stay with her forever." With tears in her eyes, she coaxed the old lady.
The old lady slapped the back of her hand hard, and it turned red.
"Why are you accompanying me? I'm so old, I'll die sooner or later! If you have no one to rely on, who will support you in the future?"
"That family is a butcher, they have murderous intent, they will definitely be able to suppress your horoscope!"
"Go back soon! The sooner you get married, the sooner I can feel at ease!"
"Why do you pester me every day? You have a bad fate. If you stay with me, you will bring bad luck to me!" The old lady glared at him and spoke harshly.
Ah Man lowered her head and big tears fell down.
"I don't want to get married, and I don't want to hurt anyone. If my grandmother is afraid of me, I will move to my mother's grave, build a thatched hut, and live there!"
The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards: "You...you..."
Xie Yuzhou poked his head out of the door and said, "Grandma, that family is dead. I heard that the butcher committed murder a few years ago, and yesterday his enemies came to seek revenge, and the whole family was killed."
"Even the eggs were shaken and the yolks were scattered."
The old lady paused.
"Sister Ah Man, she still..."
"Yuzhou!" Ah Man suddenly shouted, interrupting Xie Yuzhou's words.
Xie Yuzhou pinched his lips and dared not talk about her jumping into the river again.
The old lady looked at her carefully and noticed that her clothes had a fishy smell, as if they had just been washed out of the water and then dried.
There were still dried seaweeds hanging on his hair.
The old lady's eyes were slightly hot, and she said viciously: "Come in quickly, what are you standing outside the door for!"
The little old lady walked quickly, pushed away Ah Man's hand, and walked quickly into the house.
As I walked, I secretly wiped away my tears.
"This damn evil God is not a good thing! He harmed me and also harmed that little girl!" The old lady's curse could be heard faintly from the house.
Wait for a few people to move things into the house.
An oil lamp had been lit on the table and was crackling.
On the table were steaming noodles and square, browned snacks.
"This is called cake. Come and try it. Grandma is an expert at making pastries!"
The two little guys rushed to the table like refugees fleeing famine.
It tastes extremely sweet, a flavor I have never tasted before.
"Wuwuwu..." Lu Chaochao's eyes suddenly widened and he slapped his throat hard.
Ah Man was so scared that he hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and she swallowed the cake with the water.
"Wait a minute, there's more at home. This is my grandmother's hometown delicacy. She would eat a few pieces when she was homesick."
There were three large bowls on the table, with plates covering them.
Ah Man uncovered the plate.
"What is this? Such a rich aroma... Grandma, you cook so fast!" In the blink of an eye after Xie Yuzhou entered the door, the noodles were already on the table.
Ah Man laughed: "This is instant noodles."
"Just rinse with boiling water and you can eat it anytime. This is also a delicacy from my grandmother's hometown. My grandmother studied it for many years before she could barely make it." Ah Man has seen her crying while eating.
"I knew it. My grandma even cooked an egg for me." Ah Man picked up the noodles with a smile and took a big sip. It was so delicious!
The three children were so engrossed in their food that they didn't even raise their heads.
The old man sat in front of the window, gazing at the blood moon in the sky with a dazed look in his eyes.
The three children drank up even the soup base.
"Grandma, grandma, where is your hometown?"
"The food in your hometown is so delicious. Even the peaches from heaven are not as delicious as noodles." Lu Chaochao gave the compliment without hesitation.
The old woman couldn't help but smile, and she rocked in the rocking chair with her gray hair.
"In a place extremely far away that can never be reached." Her eyes were full of memories, and her expression became gentle when she mentioned the past.
"Then how did you get here?" Xie Yuzhou's stomach was bloated, but he couldn't put the cake down in his hands. He rubbed his stomach and chewed it at the same time.
The old lady smiled.
"Do you believe that the sun and the moon rise at the same time?"
"In my hometown, there was a day when the sun and the moon appeared in the sky at the same time. It was like... a crack appeared in time and space. It was like... time was going backwards? It was as if time and space were in chaos."
"When I wake up, I'll be here."
Xie Yuzhou shook his head: "The story you told is so mysterious. How could the sun and the moon appear at the same time?"
The old man smiled.
A'man brought hot water to Chaochao and helped her wash her face and feet.
"The village is still making up rumors about my grandmother."
"It is said that my grandmother was very stupid when she was young. When she was sixteen, she accidentally fell into the water. After waking up, she became smart and intelligent. The villagers insisted that she was possessed by evil spirits, and they tied her up in the ancestral hall for three days to exorcise the evil spirits."
"Since then, the village has stopped interacting with my grandmother."
"Later, my grandmother saved me, and I lived with her."
The old man smiled and touched her head.
She wanted to go home, she really wanted to go home.
But the sun and the moon rise at the same time, where is such an opportunity?
