When Uncle Xi came back from outside, it was already the middle of the night, and Liu Xuzhu had not yet slept, sitting in the side room waiting for him.
"Childe has something to ask me?"
Seeing that Liu Xujiao's face was wrong, he sat down beside him.
"Today's ......"
"Childe thinks that the villagers will not be saved when they see death today, so they can't sleep until now?"
Uncle Xi helped him say what he wanted.
Liu Xujiao looked at him fixedly and did not deny it.
Uncle Xi sneered twice, got up from the stool, walked to the shrine, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the bone altar above, "That Miss Leng is very resentful, not to mention that she can't save Yan Tian'er at all, but she really saved it, if she transfers her hatred to the person who saves people, what can she do?"
With such a big risk, except for the person who is not the son of the matter, is willing to give it a try, how can anyone else dare to gamble with their own and their family's lives to save an outsider?
” Liu Xuzhu lowered his eyes, "To save or not to save is a reaction of human nature in an instant, I really didn't expect that you could think so carefully in such a panicked situation." ” "Childe still thinks we are cold-blooded and unkind?"
Liu Xuzhu saw that Uncle Xi's face was full of fatigue and his old state was revealed, so he couldn't bear to continue to ask, he shook his head silently, "I can't say that you did something wrong because of this, after all, after experiencing a few disasters, you are also afraid, but I always feel bad when I see a life disappear with my own eyes." ” "Gongzi is benevolent and righteous, I admire him very much," Uncle Xi saluted him, "Tian'er died tragically today, the villagers are very sad, we have already discussed, tomorrow we will go to the cold house with the old monk, and do a French ceremony in it, hoping to calm Miss Leng's resentment." ” "Then this bone altar ......"
"Let's take it with me tomorrow, she has been away from home for so long, she should want to go back."
This night, Liu Xuzhu couldn't sleep on the bed over and over, and Yan Tian'er's screams and his pregnant daughter-in-law's pleading voice always appeared repeatedly in his mind.
No one thought that this coffin was actually prepared for the father and son, thinking of this, Liu Xujiao let out a lament from the bottom of his heart, he simply got up in his clothes and walked towards the courtyard.
The moonlight was like water, pouring all over the ground, and he opened his arms, wanting the moonlight to cleanse his chaotic heart.
Before my heart calmed down, there was a faint commotion in my ears, as if many people were outside the courtyard wall, discussing something enthusiastically.
Liu Xujiao lowered his arm, approached the courtyard wall lightly, and put his ear to the mottled wall to listen carefully.
The noise was more real, with laughter and some haggling sounds, sounding like a bustling market.
"Did you hear that, too?"
A soft question came from behind him, which startled Liu Xujiao, and he turned around, only to find Xi Cheng standing behind him, staring at him with a pair of big eyes, looking at him without blinking.
"What's that sound?
How does it look like a market?
Liu Xuzhu asked.
"I don't know, I always hear such a voice in the middle of the night, but every time I ask grandpa, he says I'm dreaming, let me ignore it and continue to sleep, big brother, since you also heard it, it proves that I'm not dreaming," he walked up and grabbed Liu Xujiao, his eyes flashing with curiosity, "Let's go out and have a look, maybe there's something fun, they are hiding it from us." ” Liu Xujiao hesitated, but involuntarily followed Xi Cheng towards the outside of the courtyard, and the two opened the courtyard door and stepped into a world they had never seen before.
The street is still the same street, and the market is still the same market, but there are many more people on the street than there are now, and some of them are not residents of the village from the way they are dressed, and their clothes are like they are made of water and grass, green and soft, hanging down to the instep of their feet, and there are no shoes under their feet, and there is no hair tied on their heads, and their hair is wet and hanging on their ears, and their skin is white and shiny.
They shuttled through the crowd, looked at the stalls on both sides of the street with great interest, walked over when they saw something they were interested in, and compared with the stall owner while paying the price, and from time to time let out a crisp laugh.
"Look, Pearl."
Xi Cheng poked Liu Xujiao's arm and pointed forward.
Liu Xuzhu followed his finger and saw a person take out a silver-white bead from the bamboo basket he was carrying, and the bead became more and more bright and snow-white under the moonlight, illuminating the stall owner so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
"I'm not lying to you, this market used to buy and sell things with pearls, and they were worth more than those broken silvers."
Saying the word "before", Liu Xuzhu and Xi Cheng paused at the same time, the two turned their heads to look at each other, and their palms were slowly soaked with sweat that they didn't know whether it was themselves or each other.
"Why can we see the past now, could it be that these people in the market have ......"
Xi Cheng said the question in the hearts of the two.
"Shh Liu Xuzhu made a silent gesture at him, pulled him to turn around slowly, and quietly walked towards the courtyard.
"What's wrong?"
Xi Cheng lowered his voice, his voice trembling violently.
"Don't look back, no matter what you hear."
Liu Xujiao tried to keep himself calm.
Xi Cheng felt that something was gently swept on his back, his steps were chaotic, his ankle accidentally tripped on the threshold, and his body fell down as soon as he was crooked.
Liu Xujiao stretched out his hand to drag him, but he didn't catch the person, and he lost his center of gravity and fell.
The two of them lay on their backs on the ground, but they didn't care about the bones that hurt from the fall, for they saw a group of people standing in front of them, their faces had turned into skeletons, their eyes were two large black holes with pus and blood, and each of them had a rotting fishtail under him.
When Xi Cheng opened his eyes, it was already dawn, he looked to the side and saw Liu Xuzhu lying there looking at him, his eyes full of doubts as his own.
"Big brother, did the two of us have a dream?"
Liu Xuzhu was stunned for a long time, "It seems that we really had the same dream, but what does this dream mean, and who are those people in the dream?"
His eyes froze, as if he remembered something, "Xi Cheng, didn't you say that you have a lot of treasures, among which are beads that can turn night into day?"

You made up these words to lie to me?
” Xi Cheng remembered to sit up from the bed, "Of course not, I saw those treasures when I was a child, but I never found them again, and when I asked my grandfather, he only said that I remembered wrongly, but how could it be, I had seen it several times." ” Liu Xujiao clenched his hand: "Promise me one thing, don't tell anyone about yesterday's dream, not even grandpa." ” "Why?"
"I think there's some hidden secret in this village."
