my weird life.

Chapter 606

The night was cold and the dew was heavy. On both sides of the dirt road in front of the 'Wutongshen' temple, the stems and leaves of new weeds were covered with hoarfrost.

After the moonlight shines, it reflects a snow-white luster.

Candles flickered slightly in the window openings of the temple, and the two vermilion lacquered wooden doors were already locked.

Lao Miaozhu, who was awakened by the night's accident, could not fall asleep again, so he continued to burn incense for the 'Wutong God', picked up a small bench from the corner of the temple, and looked after himself. Sitting under the statue, with his hands folded in his sleeves, curled up, his eyes narrowed slightly, he took a nap in front of the fire.

The firewood that was filled into the fire has been burned to red charcoal,
The charcoal radiates heat, making the chest of Lao Miaozhu, who is standing by the fire, warm, but his back is still icy cold.

After sitting for a while, he couldn't bear the chill on his back, so he stood up, turned his back to the fire, stomped his feet, and moved his body to generate a little warmth on his body.

At this time, there were knocks on the door outside the temple hall.

The knocking on the door was slow and rhythmic.

Tee, Tee, Tee!
"Who?"

Lao Miaozhu picked up a candlestick, and while asking questions outside the door, he walked towards the door.

No one outside the door responded to his inquiry, only the knock on the door still sounded slowly.

"I asked who are you?

What are you doing in the temple in the middle of the night? " Lao Miaozhu stood at the door, frowning and repeating the previous question.

This time, the knocking on the door stopped.

The knocking paused for a moment,

A deep female voice sounded: "Fulfill your wish...

We have come to fulfill our wish..."

"Farewell?
What wish do you come here in the middle of the night? ! " Lao Miaozhu looked suspiciously, and approached the crack of the door with a candlestick, and looked out through the crack of the door—it seemed that someone was wearing flowery clothes soaked in water outside the crack of the door.

Lao Miao Zhu looked out the door, only seeing the waists and abdomens of a few people.

The colorful clothes that seemed to be soaked in water were pasted on the abdomens of those people, outlining their bulging abdomens.

His gaze moved upwards,

Passing over the protruding chest, the whitened and wrinkled neck, one sees a bulging, smiling face trying to stick out its tongue, the black hair like water grass sticks to the woman's cheek On the temples, on the temples, and in the sockets of her eyes, there are only the whites of the eyes, but no kernels.

'Her' head drooped slightly, causing foul-smelling water to seep from the upper folds of her neck——

A pair of eyeless eyes stared at the old Miaozhu in the crack of the door,
Dark purple lips squirmed slightly,

Tongue flicked: "Let's come, fulfill our wish..."

Several swollen faces came closer, and only the whites of the eyes were watching the old Miaozhu in the door, and they all squirmed their deep purple lips, saying: "Let's pay off our wish..."

"what!"

Even though Lao Miaozhu had served the 'Wutongshen' for many years and had heard many strange things, but this personal experience - it was the first time for him to see those pale and swollen faces, The white of his eyes staring at himself, he fell to the ground in fright, the candlestick in his hand instantly tilted and fell to the ground, the candle flame extinguished!
in the temple,
There is only candlelight under the statue, and the fire next to the incense burner shimmers!
But outside the crack of the door, there are strands of moonlight seeping in!

The moonlight cast on Lao Miaozhu's chest, making him feel cold all over!
He hurriedly got up from the ground, walked towards the statue trembling all over, grabbed a handful of incense and lit it on the candle, and offered incense to the 'Wutong God Statue': "I have served you with all my heart for more than ten years, please bless me this time, Please bless Wutong God—"

The Wutong Temple, which has been guarded by the temple for more than ten years, is already very convinced of the efficacy of the "Wutong God".

At such a critical juncture, the first thing he thought of was to offer incense to the Wutong God, begging him to save his life!

The "Statue of the Five Powers Gods" on the wall is infused with incense and illuminated by candlelight, giving rise to an unspeakable sense of mystery—the five-headed snake gods in the painting remain motionless, and the five snake heads open their mouths wide open. Open the five doors of the so-called 'Fu, Lu, Shou, Yun, and offspring'.

And after the old temple wished,
The two vermilion lacquer gates of the Wutong Temple also opened silently——

The bolt on the door was brushed by an invisible force, and it slid open quietly!

Moonlight shines in from outside the door,
It landed on the back of Lao Miaozhu, and spread on most of the floor tiles in the temple hall!

outside the door,

White moonlight, bright and dignified.

Outside the open vermilion lacquered wooden door, where can you see any long-tongued woman in colorful clothes with a bulging abdomen like a pregnant woman?
inside the temple,

Lao Miaozhu holds a handful of incense in both hands, and maintains the posture of offering incense to the statue of Wutong God.

he was motionless,
— at his chest the thin garment was torn,

His chest was open and blood was dripping.

But in the opened chest cavity, there was no trace of the heart!
on the wall,
The bloody mouth of Wutongshen's five snake heads became more and more red, and the fangs and sharp teeth seemed to be covered with blood!
……

The night was silent, and there was no other movement in the village except for the occasional barking of dogs and the sound of wind coming and going.

Walking in the village, Huang Liuzi couldn't help but lower his footsteps and his voice: "The intersection ahead, the diagonally opposite to the yard that turns, is my home."

Su Wu nodded, led the horse and followed Huang Liuzi.

Perhaps it was because of the "timidity of being close to the family", Huang Liuzi, who had been urging Su Wu anxiously before, slowed down again, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Su Wu to the door of his house.

Huang Liuzi's home is a courtyard surrounded by earthen walls.

At this time, Huang Liuzi and Su Wu were standing in front of the black painted gate of the courtyard, the former slammed on the door vigorously, and while knocking on the door, he shouted inside: "Tweety, Tweety, open the door quickly, I'm back!"

The sound of knocking on the door caused the dogs in the neighbor's house to bark.

The village, which was originally quite quiet, suddenly became lively.

Huang Liuzi patted the door a few times, but didn't hear any response from the door, so he turned his eyes to the earthen wall beside him, wanting to climb over the wall and go to the house to check.

At this time, a female voice came from the door: "I heard it, I heard it, and I will open the door for you!
Why are you back in the middle of the night?

Has all the work in the county been done? "

Hearing the female voice, Huang Liuzi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Su Wu, and then turned around and replied to the female voice inside the door: "Hey, something serious happened, I saved my life.

How are you?

Did you encounter any strange things? "

"We haven't seen each other for a day, what strange things can I encounter?" The female voice inside the door became much softer, and there was a movement of pulling the door bolt from inside.

With a creak,

Two black lacquered doors were opened, a woman with a duck egg face and big eyes was holding a huge belly, standing inside the door, seeing Huang Liuzi in front, her eyes were full of joy, and seeing Su Wu behind Huang Liuzi , the joy in his eyes suddenly turned into panic and vigilance.

"Liuzi, who is this behind you?" She only glanced at Su Wu, then turned her eyes away from Su Wu, and asked her husband, Huang Liuzi.

Huang Liuzi led Su Wu to his side, and introduced to his wife: "This is Dingyang Daoist Priest who stayed at Wutong Temple, he rode a horse in the middle of the night and drove me back to the village!

Hey, there are too many things going on here!

Tweety, I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat at home? "

While talking, Huang Liuzi supported his wife, and walked her into the main room with her arm. After walking a few steps, he turned around and greeted Su Wu: "Master Daoist, come and sit at my house first!"

"it is good."

Su Wu nodded, led the horse across the gate, and inserted the courtyard gate smoothly.

After Huang Liuzi's wife glanced at him from the very beginning, she never paid attention to him again, and never spoke to him. Such an attitude was actually a bit contemptuous of the guests, but Su Wu actually understood a little bit - a prostitute really wants to be with her. After getting someone to be a good person, she will definitely know how to avoid suspicion better than ordinary women, and she will regulate her words and deeds everywhere,
This can prevent other people from having unreasonable thoughts about her, and can also make people dare not belittle her and still regard her as a former prostitute.

Su Wu tied the horse to a tree in the yard,
Follow Huang Liuzi into the main room.

Huang Liuzi greeted him to sit down at the table, and his wife brought a pot of hot tea silently and asked him to help pour a cup for Su Wu, then he was busy in the kitchen for a while, bringing two bowls of egg tea and several Zhang Youbing.

"It's getting dark, and it's hard to cook anymore.

Let me make some egg tea with hot water for you to drink, and eat some pancakes.

When it is dawn, I will kill the old hen at home and cook a good meal for you. Madam Sister-in-law sat on a round stool three or five steps away from the table, supported her stomach, and talked to Huang Liuzi, who was snoring and drinking egg tea.

Huang Liuzi soaked the pancakes in a bowl, and nodded after hearing the words: "All right, all right, call me when the time comes, I'll kill the chicken, you're still pregnant, it's best not to see the blood!"

The wife pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.

Su Wu said at this time: "There is no need to kill the chicken. I was ordered by my master to send brother Liu Zi home, so I have to turn back and meet Master and the others at the mouth of the Shaxi River to see what is going on there." .”

"It's so late, do you have to go back?" Huang Liuzi put down his bowl and looked at Su Wu with some hesitation.

Mrs. sister-in-law hesitated to speak.

"Seven or eight people were drowned overnight at the estuary, which is a bit strange.

The sooner we go to the scene now,
The more likely it is to find some clues. "Su Wu's eyes secretly glanced at Huang Liuzi's wife's swollen belly—this woman's belly is too big, it doesn't look like she's only three months pregnant.

However, when a woman is pregnant, the size of her belly often cannot accurately determine the month of her pregnancy.

Some people are seven or eight months pregnant and still have no pregnancy.

Some people may have a big belly in two or three months, so we can't generalize it.

Su Wu also needs to find an opportunity to see if there is any abnormality in the fetus of Huang Liuzi's wife!
"Those drowned women all have one thing in common - they are all pregnant. This matter is quite strange. My wife is also pregnant now. You should pay more attention and be careful." Su Wu said to Huang with a serious expression. Six said.

Huang Liuzi has not yet spoken,
Sitting on the round stool, the wife of the sister-in-law turned slightly pale, and said, "Sixth son, what happened to you when you went to run a boat today?

Someone drowned?

How is this going? "
