smuggler

Chapter 133

When I come to Hualong Village this time, I definitely need to go to the Dragon King Temple. Besides, Chu Yuan's whereabouts are unknown now, and he is very likely to be in the Dragon King Temple now.

After a little hesitation, seeing the two old people staring at me, I nodded: "Grandma is getting old, so I should go and see her off."

The two old men stared at me. After hearing what I said, the old lady and the old man showed stiff smiles.

I took a deep breath and suppressed the worries rising in my heart.

The Dragon King Temple is at the back of the village, and there is a rugged and difficult mountain road. I don't know if it will be dark or not when I send this old woman there.

However, since I sent her there, I didn't intend to come back.

It's better to take advantage of the night to find out about the Dragon King Temple.

When helping the old lady to go out, I subconsciously looked at the snake bracelet on my wrist.

Although the road in the village is not so difficult, it is not so smooth.

The old lady didn't know if she really couldn't walk or if she was doing it on purpose. Anyway, she walked very slowly.

I was wary of my surroundings, and tentatively asked the old lady: "Grandma, what are you doing at the Dragon King Temple?"

The old lady laughed hoarsely and said, "Of course I'm worshiping a temple!"

"Didn't the village say that you can't go out at night? It's going to be dark when I get back!" I frowned.

"Who said that?" The old lady walked forward and said to me in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, it's okay, the Dragon King will protect us after worshiping the temple, and besides, grandma will be listening to an opera tonight!"

"Listening to an opera? What kind of opera are you listening to!?" My heart suddenly tightened.

The old lady grinned: "Hey, of course I go to the Dragon King Temple to listen to an opera. There are only a few days in the whole year. At night, the temple is very lively!"

For some reason, when I heard the old lady say this, I felt a chill rising from my back.

"It's just that I've listened to this play for more than ten years. It would be great if I changed the song every year." The old lady whispered to herself.

I simply stopped talking, at this time I had reached the back mountain path, left the village, and walked slowly into the mountain road.

After walking into the mountain forest, not far away, the old lady stopped suddenly and said to me: "Little girl, you are from a foreign country, you must be able to cook. When you come back, can you go to my house and give me a meal?" Make stewed pears in sugar water, now that I am getting older, I want to eat something sweet."

The old lady murmured that long ago, after a foreigner came to the village, she made it for her, and she was still thinking about the smell.

But after so many years, I have never eaten it again, and I have never forgotten it in my heart.

Stewed pears in sugar water is actually very simple, and I really know how to do it.

However, when the old lady asked me to make it for her, I suddenly thought of what Granny Liu had said to me.

The people in the village are very easy-going and will not make requests to others casually. If you encounter a request from a villager, you must refuse it.

Although I don't know the reason, but one more thing is worse than one less thing, of course I will not agree.

So I refused and said: "Grandma, the food I make is terrible. I have never made the stewed pears in sugar water you mentioned. You should find someone else."

As soon as I finished speaking, the old lady suddenly turned around like crazy, grabbed my shoulder, and shouted at me hoarsely: "I want to eat stewed pears in sugar water, you can do it, you will definitely do it."

The old lady suddenly became crazy, grabbed my shoulder and kept screaming at me.

I was stunned by this sudden scene, and suddenly became a little panicked. Looking at the crazy old lady in front of me, I pushed him away violently.

"Grandma, aren't you from the village?" I watched warily, and my other hand was already in my pocket, holding the snake charm tightly.

If there is any move, I will definitely give it to her without hesitation.

The old lady raised her head mechanically, as if she was afraid of me all of a sudden, staring at me with wide eyes, like looking at a monster, staggering back involuntarily.

In this way, he retreated seven or eight steps in a row, and fell to the ground with a somersault.

I was startled when I saw her suddenly fall to the ground like this.

Just about to walk over, but was scared out of my wits by the scene in front of me.

The old lady who was still alive just now turned into a puppet again, and fell to pieces, even her head rolled aside.

My back was chilly, and a layer of goosebumps appeared, and I froze in place, dumbfounded!

What exactly is going on?

How could the old lady who was fine just now become a puppet in a flash.

I stared at it carefully for a while, and confirmed that I was not mistaken again. This is indeed a puppet.

But before I could calm down, a dark wind suddenly blew in the woods, and there was a rush of footsteps in the woods accompanied by the sound of the wind.

I shivered in fright, and turned around quickly to look over.

When he turned his head abruptly, he saw a figure in the woods coming towards this side quickly, but that figure kept shuttling under the dark shadow.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, this person was dressed in white and came from the depths of the woods like a ghost.

The moment I saw it, my alarm bells went off.

"who are you?"

I fixed my eyes on the person coming, to be wary of his every move.

He stopped, stood in the shadow of the tree not far away, and didn't answer, but I could feel his eyes looking at me through the tree.

I wasn't talking either, I stood there vigilantly and confronted him, beware of what he might do suddenly.

After a long while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a low voice, "How did you get in?"

Although he was standing in the dark, some distance away from me.

But it made people feel uneasy, afraid that he would make some sudden move.

When he looked at me like that, it made me tremble all over.

I suddenly thought of what Grandma Liu said to me, that there are no people in white or red clothes in Hualong Village.

If you see a person in white clothes, go to the snake woman in the village.

In the shadow of the woods, the man was wearing a white shirt.

I didn't answer his words directly, but moved back a few steps, stared at him warily and said, "Who are you?"

"Aren't you from the village?" The man in white took a few steps forward, and his voice became strange.

I lowered my head and pondered for a while, then raised my head and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet."

The man in white suddenly stopped talking, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, he asked back, "Who sent you here?"

The conversations between me and him were not on the same channel at all, and the two of them didn't answer questions at all, but asked their own questions.

Anyway, I can't ask anything, so there is no need to entangle with him.
