My Weird Life

  Chapter 606 Vow (12)

  The night was cold and dew heavy, and 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.

  The candles flickered slightly in the window holes in 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 renewed the 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 into red charcoal,

  The charcoal radiates heat, making the chest of Lao Miaozhu standing by the fire warm, but the back is still cold.

  He sat for a while, and couldn't bear the chill on his back, so he stood up, turned his back to the fire, stamped 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.

  The knock on the door was neither slow nor fast, very rhythmic.

   Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!

   "Who is it?"

  Old Miaozhu held 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 ask 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 knock on the door paused for a while,

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

  We came to fulfill our vow..."

   "Fulfill your wish?

   Come in the middle of the night and make a wish? ! " Lao Miaozhu looked suspiciously, and approached the crack of the door with a candlestick, and looked out through the crack of the door - outside the crack of the door, it seemed that someone was wearing flowery clothes soaked in water.

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

  It seemed that colored clothes soaked in water were attached to the abdomens of those people, outlining their bulging abdomens.

   His eyes gradually moved up,

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.

  The head of 'her' was slightly lowered, causing the stinky 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,

   Deep purple lips squirmed slightly,

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

  Several swollen faces came closer, only the white of the eye was watching the old Miaozhu in the door, and they all squirmed their deep purple lips, saying: "Let's fulfill our wish..."

"what!"

Even though Lao Miaozhu had served the 'Wutongshen' for many years and had heard many strange things, it was the first time for him to experience such a personal experience, seeing those pale and swollen faces, with the whites of his eyes Staring at himself, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, the candlestick in his hand instantly tilted and fell to the ground, and the candle flame extinguished!

  In the temple,

  There are only candles under the statue, and the fire next to the incense burner shimmers!

   And outside the crack of the door, there is 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 temple has guarded the Wutong Temple for more than ten years, and it is already very convinced of the efficacy of the "Wutong God".

  At such a critical juncture, his first thought 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, and suddenly gives birth to an unspeakable sense of mystery—the five-headed snake gods in the painting remain motionless, and the five snake heads open their **** mouths and open their mouths. The five so-called portals of "Fu, Lu, Shou, Yun, and offspring".

   And after Lao Miaozhu died,

  The two vermilion lacquer gates of the Wutong Temple also opened silently—

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

  Moonlight shines in from outside the door,

   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 protruding abdomen like a pregnant woman?

  Inside the temple,

  Old Miaozhu holds a handful of incense in both hands, maintaining 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.

  In the opened chest cavity, there is no trace of the heart!

   on the wall,

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

  Walking in the village, Huang Liuzi couldn't help lowering his footsteps and lowering 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 house courtyard. The former slammed on the door vigorously, and while knocking on the door, he shouted inside: "Tweety, Tweety, open the door, I'm back!"

  The sound of knocking on the door caused all the dogs in the neighbors' homes to bark.

  The village, which was quite quiet at first, suddenly became lively.

  Liuzi Huang patted the door a few times, but didn't hear any response from the door, so he turned his attention 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 did you come back in the middle of the night?

  Have you finished all the work in the county seat? "

  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?

   Didn't encounter any strange things? "

   "I 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 squeak,

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.

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

  Huang Liuzi led Su Wu to his side, and introduced to his wife: "This is Dingyang Taoist 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 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 back to greet 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 took the initiative to talk to him. This attitude is actually a bit contemptuous of the guests, but Su Wu actually understands a little bit-a prostitute really followed her. After someone becomes a good man, he will definitely know how to avoid suspicion better than ordinary women, and he will regulate his words and deeds everywhere,

  In this way, it can prevent others from having unreasonable thoughts about her, and it 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,

   Followed 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!"

  Sister-in-law's 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 want to go back?" Huang Liuzi put down his bowl and looked at Su Wu with some hesitation in his eyes.

   Mrs. sister-in-law hesitated to speak.

   "Seven or eight people drowned in that river mouth overnight, which is a bit weird.

   Now it is definitely the sooner to go to the scene,

   The more likely you will 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.

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

   Some people are pregnant for seven or eight months, but they still haven't shown their pregnancy.

  Some people may have a big belly in two or three months, so we cannot generalize.

  Su Wu also needs to look for 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 sister-in-law is also pregnant now. You should pay more attention and be more careful." Su Wu said to Huang Liuzi with a serious expression. Said.

   Huang Liuzi has not yet spoken,

  The wife of the sister-in-law who was sitting on the round stool 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? "
