Mysterious World, I Have Special Understanding Chapter 37

  Chapter 37 Red Embroidered Shoes

  The village is located at the foot of the hill, it is not big, and you can see the whole picture from the slope.

  Under the dark sky, Ji Que walked down the hillside. Along the way, there was only the sound of footsteps stepping on the ground, which was extremely deserted.

  On both sides of the road are kobresias half a person's height. When the wind blows, they sway from side to side, looking like ghosts.

   These days, Ji Que has taken too many similar paths.

  He has always been very interested in the long dirty thing he met in the deserted temple that night, but unfortunately he couldn't keep the other party to study it.

  He really didn't think about hunting down the other party.

  People are naturally afraid of the unknown, and Ji Que is no exception.

  The difference between him and ordinary people is that he has suffered too much bad luck, and his nerves are much bigger than ordinary people.

   Even so, he was still a little afraid of the dirty thing with python-like arms.

  Curiosity and fear, this is the same mentality as when I was a child, I was very scared, but I couldn't help but want to watch ghost movies.

   Under the dim sky, the village is almost here.

  Outside the village, there are a few fruit trees that are growing normally, with some fruits hanging on them, Ji Que dare not try it lightly.

   Along the way, it's not that he hasn't eaten wild fruit, but almost every bite has worms, can you believe it?

   It can only be said that luck is really "good".

   It can be seen that this village is relatively poor, even though it is dark, there are still few people holding lamps.

  Ji Que just walked to the entrance of the village when he suddenly found that there was a dead person in the village.

  The distance from the entrance of the village to the big tree in the middle of the village is only two to three hundred steps. During this period, there were four families with white banners hanging on the doorsteps, which also looked ghostly in the dark environment.

   At this time, everything is quiet, every house is pitch black, not even a dog barks.

  The whole village looks like a huge tomb.

  Ji Que carried the books on his back, looked at the ground full of mud holes, and wanted to find someone to stay overnight, but he really didn't know where to start.

  This village does not look very hospitable.

   And at this time, a little fire lit up in the village.

  Someone light a lamp?

  Lighting a lamp means that someone is awake.

  Ji Que lifted his footsteps and walked towards the burning lamp.

  He soon discovered that although the house of this family was old, it was well repaired. It should be a big family here.

   Ji Que thought about it, but still knocked on the old wooden door.

   After a while, a female voice came from inside the door—"Who is it?".

  Ji Que immediately said: "I'm sorry, I'm a passing scholar. I got lost in the mountains and want to stay overnight in your place."

   "A serious scholar?"

   "Definitely serious." Ji Que replied seriously.

  For some reason, he always felt that the woman in the room seemed nervous.

   After a while, there was a crack in the wooden door. The woman inside looked carefully for a while, probably after confirming that he looked handsome and upright, and then opened the door with a creak.

   This is a woman about thirty years old.

  The woman took a careful look at Ji Que, and said, "Master, I really forgive you, we seldom come to outsiders in our Lin Family Village, and it's late at night, so we have to be more cautious."

   "I'm bothering you." Ji Que said gratefully.

  After a few brief exchanges, Ji Que realized that he really knew how to find a place.

   This turned out to be the village head's house, no wonder it looks richer.

  During the period, this woman who called herself "Sister Lin" would look into the back room from time to time, her eyes were worried, and she didn't know why.

  After that, the woman lent Ji Que an empty room and closed the door.

  This tile-roofed house is said to be the guest room of Village Chief Lin's house, but it is actually half a firewood room. Apart from a bed, there is also a lot of firewood piled up in the room.

  However, it would be nice to have a house sheltered from the wind in this poor place. There is a stove and an iron pot under the eaves outside, which can be used for cooking, which is a plus in this cold weather.

  Ji Que quickly lit the fire and cooked the bacon.

  The bacon is salted and air-dried, which can be stored for a long time without deterioration. It can be used for making soup or boiled for eating. It is very suitable for taking out.

  As the water in the pot boiled, a burst of meaty aroma wafted out.

  Ji Que tore apart the bacon, and put some dried seaweed into the pot, and a pot of seaweed broth was formed.

  Ji Que ate and drank a pot of hot seaweed broth alone. In this cold weather, he felt his body was warm and very beneficial.

   Now that the zhenqi in his body is more and more concentrated, it is reasonable to say that it is not a big problem not to eat for ten days, but this person is just greedy.

   I feel flustered if I don't eat.

  In addition, he has walked a lot today, and he is already hungry on the psychological level, so this simple bowl of salty meat soup tastes delicious.

   On the way to drink soup, the lights of the village chief's house have already gone out.

  In this world, the vast majority of people follow the routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and rarely stay up late.

  The so-called "feel full and warm", after drinking two bowls of soup and eating a few pieces of meat, Ji Que began to think about sleeping.

  He tidied up and lay down on the wooden bed.

  Lying on the hard wooden bed like this, he couldn't help but miss Li Sankai's coffin.

  Ji Que couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he simply took out Tang Yi's reclining chair and lay down.

   After lying down, the previous discomfort disappeared.

  Every time he lays down on this recliner in the shape of Tang clothes, Ji Que can't help but think of this friend.

   Thinking of him snickering, lazy, falling asleep after drinking.

   Thinking about it, Ji Que laughed, and when he smiled, he became vigilant.

   Something is wrong with me!

  Ji Que lay down for a while, and soon his eyelids twitched.

  Thinking that he was unlucky, he closed the door of the room with the help of drowsiness, and then lay down on the chair and fell asleep.

  The night was getting deeper, but at this time, Lin Sanjie, who had already turned off the oil lamp, did not fall asleep because her mother got up.

  Third Sister Lin's mother has a high prestige in the village despite being a girl.

  Since his wife passed away, she has taken over his wife's position as the village head, and this has been more than ten years.

  At this time, Village Chief Lin got up from the bed and came to the hall.

  Under the pale moonlight, she looked a little plump, especially at the chin, where layers of fat piled up, forming many fat folds, which looked a little disgusting.

   Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the shoes on her feet.

   Such a plainly dressed old woman is wearing a pair of bright blood-like embroidered shoes on her feet.

  The embroidered shoes are very new, as if they will never be stained with dust, so they are particularly eye-catching.

  Such a pair of beautiful shoes are extremely terrifying in the eyes of Lin Sanjie.

  Yes, since my mother picked up these shoes, her temperament began to undergo a very strange change.

   The change isn't just in the growing grease on her chin, it's in how she looks at night.

  The appearance of wearing embroidered shoes and terribly empty eyes is not human at all.

  Sister Lin covered her mouth and nestled under the quilt, tears streaming down her face.

  She knew that her mother was sick, but she didn't know when the disease would be cured.

  She wanted to throw away her mother's shoes, but she didn't dare.

  Because during the recent period, mother has become more and more strange.

  At this time, Village Chief Lin went to the kitchen wearing brightly colored embroidered shoes.

   There is a kitchen knife in the kitchen, it is very sharp.

  Third Sister Lin obviously hid the knife in a very secret place, but her mother still found it.

   At this time, Ji Que was snoring on the recliner, sleeping soundly.

  He seemed to be dreaming about Tang Yi.

  The other party seems to have fried beef tenderloin and fried rice with eggs.

  It smells so good!
