smuggler

Chapter 27

The one who came out of the door was the young girl standing behind Granny Liu in the temple.

After walking in, she walked around me twice, and she looked at me with an expression of undisguised disgust.

After turning around twice, she began to scold, "Your name is Bai Yao, right? I heard that you were an ugly monster when you were born. Back then, it was your grandfather Bai Jianshan who went to catch snakes to save your life, but your grandfather came back He died not long after, and he caught so many snakes, so it's no wonder he will be punished..."

Before she finished speaking, Granny Liu's expression darkened, and she said, "Wei Wei, don't be rude."

Although the voice was not loud, it was full of doubts, Liu Weiwei could only shut up aggrieved, and gave me a hard look.

The old lady Liu raised her head slightly and looked at me expressionlessly, then said slowly: "My old man had this long-cherished wish before he died, and I naturally want to fulfill it for him."

"It's true that the world is different now from the past, but I also understand a little bit about the thoughts of you young people. Relationships can be cultivated slowly. You can stay in Liu's house for a period of time and cultivate your relationship with Qingyin. The threshold of my Liu family, you can have whatever you want in the future."

Seeing Liu Weiwei next to her still looking arrogant, I said bluntly with a calm face: "Grandma Liu, now that the Liu family is powerful, you can find all kinds of women you want. A layman like me who has never seen the world, It's not noticeable, if it's because of the marriage contract, it's unnecessary."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for the time being. It's not all because of the marriage contract that mother-in-law came to you this time."

Granny Liu stood up with Liu Weiwei's support, glanced at me, and said, "Come with me!"

Suspicion suddenly arose in my heart, at this time Chu Yuan's voice suddenly sounded, and said lightly: "Follow."

I gritted my teeth and followed behind.

Through the long hallway, I came to a basement. As soon as I entered, I felt that this place was unusual.

It was like entering a gloomy room for a moment, and the body had an instinctive nervous reaction.

"This is the offering hall. It should be the place where the snake ancestor of the Liu family practiced. I want to restrain my breath so as not to overwhelm the snake. You play according to your own circumstances!" Chu Yuan's tone always had a kind of uneasiness.

It was extremely cold here, and it was dark in front of my eyes.

Granny Liu turned on the light. The basement was about ten square meters in size. There was an incense table in front, with some melons and fruits enshrined on it. The brass incense burner beside it was filled with incense ash.

Here is the incense hall where Liu’s family worships Liuxian. A meditation futon.

This is the first time I have seen the incense hall of Chuma Xianjia, and I looked around curiously. There are some weird murals on the surrounding walls.

The paintings are snakes of various colors, and these snakes are all in the form of humans, some with snake heads and human bodies, and some with snake tails.

These snakes are portrayed in strange shapes, with eyebrows and eyes resembling human beings, carrying an indescribable gloom.

As soon as you enter the incense hall, you feel as if you have come to another world. Being stared at by the snakes on the murals makes you feel hairy.

There is also a memorial tablet of the Xian family on the portrait, with the name of the Xian family written on it, and a huge painting of two or three meters is hung on the main hall.

The portrait shows a huge crawling and coiled boa constrictor, with three black stripes on the flat head of the boa constrictor, lengthwise on the back, and the middle black stripe extending to the tail of the snake.

When I saw these three black stripes, for some reason, I suddenly thought of the strange dream my aunt told me about my mother.

The mark on the head of the strange snake in the dream is very similar to this stripe.

Granny Liu stared at the snake painting hanging in the main hall, and sighed: "I was framed by traitors in the early years, and I was forced to hide in deep mountains and old forests. At that time, I rescued a white snake from a snake catcher."

"That little snake seems to have a spirituality, and knows how to repay kindness. It stayed with me for a long time, and later it blessed my soul."

"One night I had a dream. I dreamed that a big white snake appeared on the beam. The snake's head hung down from the beam and looked at me, but it opened its mouth and asked me if I would like to be its disciple. I woke up. After coming over, that little snake just happened to appear at the door and stared at me."

"At that time, I made a great wish to act for Liuxian from then on. Since then, our Liu family has also been blessed by the snake fairy."

The land where we are actually belongs to the junction of the north and the south, but as the saying goes, the south is the mao and the north is the horse.

In the south, the way of Maoshan is the leader, while in the north, there has been a saying of the Five Great Immortals since ancient times.

But I never believed in these things before.

"Do you know why I brought you here?"

Grandma Liu laughed, a little sinister, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

I shook my head suspiciously.

But what he said next made me tense up in an instant.

Granny Liu looked at the snake fairy she enshrined and said: "My old fairy, I feel a very familiar aura from you. You have a fairy fate, and maybe you can also have a fairy upper body. There is a place."

I trembled all over, and suddenly became tense.

But he said without showing any flaws on his face: "Grandma Liu is joking, I am just a commoner, how could there be a fairy family who would like me."

Granny Liu didn't refute what I said, she burned a stick of incense to the Xian family on her own, and then took me out.

After I came out, I walked along the corridor to the front yard, and I said, "Grandma Liu, it's getting late, I should go back, so I won't disturb your old man here."

"Since you don't want to stay here, then grandma won't force you. If you have time, you can come here often!" Grandma Liu looked at each other and smiled. The way she looked at me was like looking at a monster for some reason.

"Will do."

My mind tightened. Grandma Liu asked me to go to the offering hall just now. It seemed like a random visit, but I knew it was definitely not that simple.

But I don't show anything on the surface.

Walking out of the threshold of Liu's house, the haze shrouded in my heart gradually dissipated.

"Chu Yuan!" I called out in a low voice.

Chu Yuan said indifferently: "Don't talk, people from the Liu family are still watching!"

The back of my neck felt cold, and I wanted to turn around, but was stopped by Chu Yuan: "Don't look back, go forward."

When I got home, my aunt was waiting for me in the yard, and she was overjoyed when she saw me come back: "Yaoyao, you're back, they didn't do anything to you, did they?"

I glanced at my aunt and shook my head. Thinking of the marriage mentioned by the Liu family, I trembled all over, pulled my aunt and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me about it?"

The aunt said: "Your grandfather and Liu Xiaolong were indeed close friends, but both Liu Xiaolong and your grandfather passed away. Now that the Liu family is powerful, I thought the Liu family would not mention this matter."

After hearing the Liu family's initiative to propose marriage, the aunt was very relieved, saying that Granny Liu is really a good person, with a bodhisattva heart, powerful and powerful, and she still does not forget her original intention.

I curled my lips and sneered, what kind of bodhisattva heart is just for outsiders to see.

I can feel Granny Liu's viciousness.
