The Growth of a Witch

Chapter 29 Hair in the Moon

The old man continued to talk under the reminder of Xiaoqiong: "Later, after the old village god came back, he locked himself at home and saw no one. Even her green head under her could not see her face. Occasionally, she went to the altar -- but the major affairs in the village were not questioned. The owner of the village and several green heads in the cottage were very responsible. My heart secretly guessed whether she would have an accident.

Finally, the old village owner discussed with the green head in the altar, and then sent two people to guard the door of her house all day long. One day, the door of her house opened, and a white-headed old woman came out. She sighed at the sky and muttered for a while. The two guards carefully distinguished and found that it was the old village god. She suddenly looked at least ten years old and couldn't tell them apart. She was so scared that she quickly reported to the village owner.

The old village god held a magic stick and trembling all the way to the door of our house. At that time, I was making a basket in the yard. The door of the yard was not closed. When I saw her coming, I was stunned. This is a thing that has never happened. The village god is a god in the cottage and will take the initiative to climb the door of my house? I rubbed my eyes. Confirming that it was her, she quickly got up and respectfully saluted her and greeted her in the main room to let her sit down. But the old village god did not enter the house, but looked at my feet and looked around the well in the yard. Her face was strange, her eyes were clouded, and she shed tears, but she still didn't say a word. Finally, she threw down a sentence: Put the mouth of the well. Move that stone away!

After saying that, he left silently, but as soon as he got to the door of the yard, he fell tremblingly. When the village owner arrived, she was already dead. The village owner asked me what the village god came to my house for. I said that some people didn't believe it at all. They thought that the status of the village god was noble and the god came. Why? Maybe they came to my house. Some were skeptical, and some thought I was unuspicious. Seeing me like a ghost, I really jumped into the river and couldn't wash it!

The old man choked so much that he choked. At this time, he heard a "bang" outside the house. Xiaoqiong and the old man couldn't help standing up and ran out, finding that the stone at the mouth of the well had been pushed away by Erhei.

The old man saw that the big stone at the mouth of his well had been pushed away and was stunned, but soon, the old man was lame and walked to the mouth of the well in a few steps. He stretched out his head to look at the spring inside. Xiaoqiong was shocked and thought that the old man's footsteps were inconvenient. He wanted to help the old man over, but the old man was so anxious. I don't know if Erhei has caused trouble for others.

I couldn't help following the old man to the side of the well. The cobblestone-paved round well was wide, and the stones were a little pitted. Xiaoqiong also stretched out her head and bumped into the old man's head with a "bang". Xiaoqiong was so painful, but the old man still looked confused, as if he didn't go back to things at all. He came to stroke her head in pain: "Joan, Joan, does it still hurt?"

Xiaoqiong shook her head and threw down two words: "It doesn't hurt!", and continued to stretch out her head to look at the well. The well was quiet, leisurely, with a cold cold air from the well, which suddenly made people cool. The surface of the water reflected his face like a mirror, suddenly appeared, up and down, left and right-- The wall of the well made of bluestone bricks is also covered with green moss, covering the inner wall of the whole well.

The old man stood on the spot dullly. He simply couldn't believe that it was true. He looked at Erhei tremblingly and asked incoherently, "It's you, you, you -- opened it?"

Erhei looked at Xiaoqiong in a panic. Obviously, she didn't know what to do. Xiaoqiong saw that the old man's eyes were not anger, but panicked and at a loss. She thought to herself that this was also a disaster for him, so she deliberately or unintentionally said to the old man, "Dad, push it away and push it away. You are alone. It's inconvenient to eat water. Maybe it's God's will!"

Dad trembled when he heard it: "Girl, is it really like this?"

Xiaoqiong did not answer directly, but said, "Dad, you sit down, and I'll ask Erhei to water to help you water the ground!"

Seeing that the old man and Xiaoqiong did not blame him, Erhei quickly went to the corner of the yard to find an empty clay pot and water the dishes on the ground on the side of the yard. Xiaoqiong found a hoe and began to remove the grass on the ground for the old man. The old man looked at the two people with dementia, his expression as if he was dreaming, and kept pouring Erhei. After the water, the hoe that grabbed Xiaoqiong's hand said, "Qiong, Qiong, you sit down---, I'll do it!"

The second black is strong, and the hoe goes down, not to remove weeds, but directly wraps the grass on the ground into the soil.

Xiaoqiong saw that the old man was still standing stupidly. He rubbed his eyes and pulled his beard. It was suspected that in a dream, Xiaoqiong wanted him to continue to talk about what happened below. It could be seen that the old man couldn't calm down for a while. He simply raised a chair from the room and said, "Dad, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go with you. Bring me a cup!"

Xiaoqiong ran into the house again and took an exquisite pottery cup. Just as she was about to reach out and scoop some water into the well, the old man suddenly came to his senses and said, "Girl, I'll come, I'll come, look at me, I'm so happy to let this noble guest do it. You sit down, I'll scoop up water for you!"

After saying that, regardless of whether Xiaoqiong agreed or disagreed, she took the earthenware cup in Xiaoqiong's hand, scooped a cup from the well, and respectfully handed it to Xiaoqiong. When Xiaoqiong saw the old man's behavior, she suspected that he was confused. She quickly held the old man and said, "Dad, Dad, this can't work. I'm a junior. You sit down and I'll come. Scoop-----!"

The old man said, "The girl can't do it. You are a nobleman who came to the house. You are idle. I'm going to cook!" Suddenly, he thought of something, stopped again, and walked out of the door. Xiaoqiong quickly asked, "Dad, where are you going?"

The old man said, "Oh, I went to the front family to borrow a chicken. There is nothing to chew at home, and it's not good to treat!" After saying that, she panicked and wanted to leave. Xiaoqiong was relieved to hear it, but for a moment, in case someone in that family has seen the monster, that is, Erhei's father, he can't do it when he sees Erhei. It's also troublesome for the goddess to know. Besides, the goddess always brings a pheasant to eat every day or two, and there is no shortage of this at home.

Thinking of this, Xiaoqiong quickly helped the old man back and said, "Dad, we don't like to eat chicken. You sit down. I'll cook for you. Hurry up, it will be ready soon!" She helped the old man and sat down. Xiaoqiong went to the room where she smelled the smell of oil smoke. She looked inside. It was really the kitchen, with a stove, a clay pot, and dry firewood. --.

Xiaoqiong found rice in the old man's kitchen. There were also a few eggs in the rice, and there were some flour-like things next to it. She smelled it and pinched it with her hands. Some of the ingredients were like bean jelly. Then it was put down next to it. First, she put the rice in a clay pot, washed it in the yard and put it. Go to the stove and stuff some dry firewood into it. Fortunately, everything here is similar to that at home. Xiaoqiong also ignites the fire with a pine ball, puts it in the stove, cooks rice, and then goes to the yard to wash the green-headed fungus picked in the morning, and then picks some green peppers and two fresh vegetables in the yard and washes them. ---.

Carry it to the kitchen, move the rice to one side, and leave a small corner. The water in the clay pot is completely stuffy. Replace it with another pot, add a little oil, stir-fry the other two vegetables, fry some peanuts, and finally stir-fry the green fungus. The rice is carried to the table in the living room, and the aroma of a table spreads. Go to the yard to help the old man in and enjoy it.

The old man looked at Erhei and Xiaoqiong, as if he were looking at two treasures. He grinned to the side, and his beard trembled with a smile: "Girl, I have been blessed in my life, and you are such a fairy to cook------!" After a moment, he thought of something and said, "Also With your companion, he is infinitely powerful, hoeing and pouring -- and also lifting the wellhead stone that has been suppressed for decades. This is what my father did when he found seven or eight young men of the Yi nationality at that time, and was actually done by him. It's really a hairy thing for months------!"

Xiaoqiong thought that the old man was really old. How could he compare Erhei to Mao in the moon? She was secretly funny and heard the old man say, "Girl, come into the room quickly. Let's eat!"

Xiaoqiong originally wanted to continue to enter the house and let the old man listen to the things in the stockade. After the old man said this, he looked at the weather and felt that it was not early. He had been out for a day. Besides, the old wolf and the old wolf were still waiting outside, so he said, "Dad, we won't eat. We should go back!"

The old man looked disappointed, his head shriveled, his eyes became cloudy, and his tears were about to flow down: "Girl, you have to eat and leave anyway. Do you think my family is poor and there is nothing to eat for you?"

Xiaoqiong quickly said, "No, Dad, you don't think we're annoying. We'll come back tomorrow?"

The old man nodded his head happily like a chicken pecking rice and said, "Okay, okay, okay, you must come tomorrow. I'll open the door early tomorrow morning and wait for you. Then I'll go to the house in front of me to borrow a chicken. Oh, oh, oh, I forgot again. You don't like chicken, so what do you like to eat? I'll give it to you. We are ready--."

Xiaoqiong had to say again, "Dad, if you are so polite, we really dare not come. You don't have to prepare anything and don't borrow it from others. We are embarrassed to come again!"

The old man said, "Girl, it's so embarrassing. Look at you, you have been working for me all afternoon, and you can't even have a meal and left---!"

Xiaoqiong said, "Dad, go in and eat quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold. Let's go!" When he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something and stopped and said, "Dad, don't tell others about what happened to your house. I don't like hustle and bustle. I like quiet, and I don't like people coming and going. It's wrong!"

The old man nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "Well, that's right, there are many people visiting the door, there are many right and wrong, there are many dogs, there are many sticks, and the chickens going to the door, and they are put into the earth pot!"
