The Owl's Wife Attacks: Lu Shao spoils his wife too much

The crowd followed Yan Ziqing into the cave, but the light inside the cave was dim. Even if some people smelled the smell of blood, they didn't notice the corpse of the giant snake on the ground.

After walking for about ten minutes, everyone left the cave and walked down the mountain path.

The rain is still falling, but the momentum is much weaker, and there is no water under the mountain. The flood should be blocked by the mountain.

"Mr. Xia, be careful." Yan Ziqing and his assistant supported Mr. Xia slowly down the mountain road, while Su Yu and Lin were opening the way ahead.

Everyone walked all the way and saw a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, so they wanted to go in to shelter from the rain.

"It's such an era, how can there be such an old wooden house." Lin Zheng looked at the thatch on the wooden house and smiled.

The village head knocked on the door, but no one answered after knocking for a long time. Just when everyone thought there was no one inside, the door suddenly opened with a "creak".

The person who opened the door was an old man with gray beard and hair, wearing a shabby robe, with messy hair like a chicken coop.

When the village chief saw someone open the door, he quickly smiled and said, "Hello, we want to borrow a place to hide from the rain. Is it convenient for you?"

The old man's cloudy eyes scanned everyone, and then said: "Come in!" After speaking, he opened the door and turned to enter the room.

The village head was overjoyed, he thought the old man thought there were too many of them, so he didn't want to take them in.

Everyone hurried into the house, the rain on their bodies wet the floor of the house into a dark color.

The house was so big that it couldn't be seen from the outside at all, and there was a courtyard inside. There were tin huts on both sides of the courtyard, all of which were locked.

Everyone crowded around the door cautiously, the old man turned around and saw this, and said, "Sit whatever you want."

Then, he turned and walked back into the house.

"This old man is weird!" Li Yu whispered, touching his arm, "Also, I think his eyes are so creepy, I have goosebumps."

Someone next to him echoed in a low voice: "Yes, yes, this old man doesn't look like a good person, why don't we go!"

"You think too much, the old man kindly took us in, but we think about him like this."

"It's raining so hard outside, where can we go. Let's stay here for a while, there are so many of us, are we afraid that he will fail as an old man?"

Everyone was talking.

Yan Ziqing wandered around in the room. Although the room was large, it didn't have much stuff.

There was a long table by the wall, on which was a stone statue, but the paint was so peeled off that Yan Ziqing couldn't tell which big Buddha it was.

The light in the room was not very bright, and the candles were burning faintly. Occasionally, there was wind blowing in from outside. As the candles flickered, the figures on the ground and wall also began to shake.

Yan Ziqing walked towards the backyard, but as soon as he reached the back door, a face full of wrinkles and yellow spots appeared in front of him, and Yan Ziqing took a step back reflexively.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be the old man just now, holding a tray with cups and a kettle in his hand.

"What is the little girl looking for?" The old man chuckled, his honor matched with his voice that seemed to have been scorched by fire, made people tremble unconsciously, and felt cold in their hearts.

Yan Ziqing said calmly, "Just curious, look around."

When the old man entered the house, the door could only allow one person to pass through, so Yan Ziqing had no choice but to leave the door and back away.

The old man looked at Yan Ziqing and said quietly: "Little girl, have you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?"

Yan Ziqing moved her eyes and said with a light smile, "Old man, what does this mean?"

"I'm a bad old man. I haven't studied for a few years. What can I do?" It’s not good for them to hurt you.”

Yan Ziqing looked at the old man's back and narrowed his eyes slightly. This old man...

The old man walked up to the crowd, put down the things in his hands, and poured a cup of hot water for the crowd, "You are prone to get sick when you get wet in the rain, I made some ginger tea for you to drive away the cold."

Everyone was holding teacups, looking at the steam rising from it and the strong smell of ginger, they couldn't help but feel ashamed for doubting the old man's thoughts just now.Although the old man's appearance is not very good, and his tone of speech is not lukewarm, but maybe he has a cold face and a warm heart!

Everyone thanked the old man one after another, "Thank you old man, I really trouble you."

The old man still said calmly: "Drink it while it's hot!"

Su Yu and Lin Zheng stood still in the crowd with their cups in their hands, and the old man glanced over, "Why don't you two drink, do you dislike my old man?"

"Shhhhh."

Everyone put down their glasses and turned their heads to look.

Mr. Xia always knew that people like Su Yulinzheng seldom eat outside food. Their identity and experience made them keep vigilant at all times.But now so many of them drink it, it's just ordinary ginger tea.

Xia Lao said: "This is ginger tea, it is used to drive away the cold, you can drink a little."

Su Yu and Lin Zheng had no choice but to drink, but the moment they toasted, they saw the smile on the old man's lips, and the two of them felt moved, exchanged glances calmly, then raised their heads and drank the empty cup. The cup is placed on the table.

Seeing this, the old man nodded, then turned his eyes to look at Yan Ziqing who was standing at the back door, "Little girl, would you like a drink?"

The cup got closer, and the tip of the nose smelled a drugged smell, even under the cover of ginger, it was still very strong.

Yan Ziqing shook her head lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't like ginger all the time, so let's forget it!"

"Ginger is a good thing, it's not good for a little girl to be a picky eater!" The old man poured another glass and offered it to Yan Ziqing.

Yan Ziqing didn't answer, looked up into the old man's eyes, and said with a smile, "Why does the old man want me to drink it so much? Is there something in it?"

The old man's eyes flashed, "Ginger tea must have ginger in it, since you don't like it, forget it!"

Withdrawing his hand, the old man put the teacup on the table casually, "Anyway, you're just a little girl left, I'm afraid I can't cure you?"

Everyone was surprised, what does the old man mean by this?

Before everyone could inquire, someone beside him suddenly collapsed on the ground, everyone was startled again, they rushed to call, but they couldn't wake up no matter what.

"what happened?"

Everyone asked in horror, but they couldn't get an answer at all, and the villagers passed out one by one.

Su Yu and Lin Zheng looked at the old man with serious eyes. It must be his fault. There is something wrong with that cup of ginger tea.The old man smiled sinisterly. Before the two could speak, they saw Yan Ziqing behind the old man making several gestures towards them. The two were taken aback, but still followed Yan Ziqing's wishes.

He tilted his body and fell to the ground.

The old man laughed fiercely, glanced at the fallen man and turned to stare at Yan Ziqing.

Yan Ziqing frowned, pretending to be scared, "You, what are you going to do?"
