Rebirth Seventy Little Spicy Daughter-in-law

Pei Nuo heard the sound and hugged Sheng Chengan without letting go. She hid her little face behind his back and refused to come out.

Sheng Chengan and Zhou Luancheng looked over in confusion, and saw a stooped old man slowly walking out of the doorway, with a band of cloth wrapped around his head. He should be from a certain local ethnic group.

The cloth on his body is also covered with patches, his face is too old, and the corners of his eyes are covered with deep and shallow wrinkles.

Only those eyes were exceptionally clear, looking at people like a hawk staring at its prey.

Zhou Luancheng didn't react at all, but Sheng Chengan couldn't help but get excited. The old man's gaze was too sinister and terrifying.

The old man hunched over and walked up to the three of them, squinted at Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan, and then turned his attention to Pei Nuo.

He smiled and said: "Xiao Nuo has been out for a few days, and he actually knows someone, and he is still afraid of me? If your grandparents see it, they will definitely complain about you. You forgot that you were sick when you were a child, but it was my grandma who showed you up.

"

Sheng Chengan listened to the somewhat difficult-to-understand Mandarin before he realized that the old man in front of him was actually a woman.

And they are not Mrs. Pei's parents.

Pei Nuo was still clutching the clothes behind Sheng Chengan's back tightly, her face pressed against his back, refusing to look at anything outside, her body was trembling because of nervousness.

Sheng Chengan knew that Pei Nuo was afraid of the old man in front of him. He must have done something in the past that left Pei Nuo with a deep memory, so he was afraid of her.

Therefore, he didn't have a good attitude toward the old man. He just glanced at her and didn't intend to talk to her.

Zhou Luancheng spoke up: "Old man, do you know Xiaonuo? Are her grandparents at home?"

The old man squinted at Zhou Luancheng, and suddenly smiled, revealing only a few teeth in his gums. There was a bit of weirdness in his smile, and he repeated Zhou Luancheng's words: "You are here to see Grandpa and Grandma Xiaonuo. They are at home, so they should be at home."

"

Zhou Luancheng nodded: "Then let's go there first. If you want to see Xiaonuo, you can go back and see him at home."

The old man chuckled, and his smile inexplicably gave people a chill. Sheng Chengan felt goosebumps rising on his body, but he said something even weirder: "I knew it would come, how could I not come?"

Then he muttered a string of dialects that neither Zhou Luancheng nor Sheng Chengan could understand.

Pei Nuo, who was behind him, trembled even more, obviously she understood.

Sheng Chengan reached out to hold Pei Nuo's hand, patted it gently, then turned around and put his arm around her shoulders, half-hugging her in his arms, and left with her in his arms.

Ignore that weird old woman.

Zhou Luancheng glanced at the old man a few times, said goodbye, and left quickly with Sheng Chengan.

The old man stood there, squinting at the backs of the three people as they left, and his smile became more and more weird. Her medicine man was back again.

After walking for a while, Sheng Chengan stopped, held Pei Nuo in his arms and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Nuo. With us here, no one will bully you, and no one dares to bully you. From now on, I will definitely not

I will take a step away from you and not let anyone have the opportunity to hurt you."

He stroked Pei Nuo's back gently and took out a piece of sorghum candy from his pocket and gave it to her.

I don't know if the candy comforted Pei Nuo or if Sheng Chengan's words had an effect. Pei Nuo calmed down a lot. He withdrew from Sheng Chengan's arms and lowered his head to peel off the candy wrapper carefully and clumsily.

After twisting it for a long time but unable to figure it out, she angrily gave the candy to Sheng Chengan and asked Sheng Chengan to peel it for her.

Sheng Chengan smiled and rubbed her head, peeled off the candy wrapper for her, and stuffed the candy into her mouth. He looked at Pei Nuo holding the candy like a child with a satisfied expression, as if he had forgotten what happened just now.

He frowned and said to Zhou Luancheng: "That old man just now seemed weird everywhere. He must have hurt Pei Nuo before."

Zhou Luancheng agreed: "We can always find the answer in the past few days. Let's go there quickly, but when we get there, don't tell the other party about what happened to Mr. Pei."

Sheng Chengan was a little confused: "Why?"

"Let's not talk about it for now. If we do, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anything."

Sheng Chengan didn't understand why Zhou Luancheng said that, but since Zhou Luancheng said it, he must have a reason.

And he also very consciously admitted that what he heard from Zhou Luancheng was correct.

Mrs. Pei's parents live not far to the west of the town. The roadside is also lined with bamboos, and the bluestone road is winding, as if there is no end in sight.

Mrs. Pei's parents, Father Li and Mother Li, live in a small courtyard in Banpo.

The courtyard walls are all made of bamboo fences, which are less than one person tall. Standing outside the fence, you can see the panoramic view of the small courtyard.

There are three houses and two side rooms. There is a pressurized water well in the small courtyard, a vegetable patch, and a small chicken coop in the corner.

In the courtyard, an old woman with white hair was holding a dustpan and drying the food inside.

There was also a gray-haired old man sitting aside, making something like a mat out of bamboo.

Zhou Luancheng looked around the yard, checked the information he had just learned, and made sure that this was Mrs. Pei's natal family, so he went over and knocked on the door.

Sheng Chengan observed Pei Nuo's reaction and saw that she was not excited or scared when she saw the old man, she was just very calm.

It was as calm as if it was the first time I came here.

Not long after, Li's father came over to open the door. He was stunned for a moment when he saw two strange young disciples. When he saw Pei Nuo again, he was surprised: "Xiao Nuo? Why are you here, Xiao Nuo? Who are you?"

After saying that, he became alert again.

Zhou Luancheng had a slight smile on his face and his tone was very gentle: "We are here to investigate some things. Mr. Pei and the others are busy, so we brought Pei Nuo with us. This is my work permit."

As he spoke, he took out his work permit and handed it to Li's father.

Father Li rubbed his cloudy eyes and stared at the work permit in Zhou Luancheng's hand seriously for a while before speaking slowly: "I'm illiterate, just tell me what you do? Why are you here with Xiaonuo?"

Together?"

Zhou Luancheng was still smiling, and explained his work very patiently, and then said: "This time we have to investigate a case that happened many years ago. There may be some cases with Xiaonuo, so we brought her back with us."

Father Li frowned. Hearing the case, he was still a little nervous: "What case, and how does it have anything to do with Xiaonuo? Look at Xiaonuo like this, what can she do? What on earth do you want to do?"

As he spoke, he became a little emotional, always feeling that Zhou Luancheng and the others were liars.

The sound was so loud that Mother Li came over with a dustpan. She only saw Pei Nuo and exclaimed: "Xiao Nuo."

As he spoke, he put down the dustpan in his hand in a panic and went over to pull Pei Nuo over: "Oh my god, what a Xiao Nuo. I thought I heard wrong just now."

She was old and had hard of hearing. When she heard someone talking, she thought she was asking for directions. Finally, she heard her husband's voice rising louder, so she curiously came over to take a look.

At this moment, he was extremely excited: "Oh my god, honey, look at Xiaonuo is really back."
