Chapter 79 Night Run Lao Siyan
Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of the great master Xiaoxiaosheng in Xiangnan! Lao Siyan is located in a small village ten miles away from Hongfenglin Town. It has a small population and only about twenty families, but it has a history of nearly six hundred years. It is said that this village was formed during the Ming Dynasty, but at that time there were only two families, one opened a corpse-driving inn and the other was a blacksmith.
Later, after the changes of the times, two families gradually formed a small village with about twenty families. In addition, Lao Siyan is a must-pass place for people traveling from south to north in western Hunan. People of all kinds of religions and ranks gathered here for many years, so Lao Siyan also had that glorious history.
Unfortunately, with the advancement of reform and opening up, Xiangxi no longer had the business of driving corpses, and the iron-slayers also retired to the countryside early. In the decades since then, the village returned to peace again.
However, due to the profound historical heritage and other reasons, the corpse-driving inn has been passed down from generation to generation. Although there have been no corpse-driving maker to stay for many years, there are still people from all kinds of places to visit in western Hunan, so there are occasionally several business orders.
Fu Ji, a sixty-five-year-old man, took over this corpse-driving inn since he was seventeen. It has been nearly fifty years since now. It may be because of the bad career. He has never married a wife or given birth to a child. He just stayed alone in this corpse-driving inn and spent countless stormy days.
In that chaotic era, he accompanied this inn to escape the inn from the inn and the harassment of the bandits of Wulong Mountain. He experienced many difficulties and obstacles in his life, but he still took this inn so firmly and stood in Lao Siyan's village.
But later, the reform and opening up, the corpse-driver disappeared, Zhu Youke in Xiangxi declined, and the old man who opened the inn was also unemployed. When everything returned to peace, he could only stay here quietly and wait for the day when he passed away. Maybe he would burn this inn with fire, and return to dust together, and return to soil.
On that evening, Fu Ji still lit a white lantern at the entrance of the inn.
He has been doing this for more than fifty years. As long as he is alive, he will light a white lantern at the door of the inn every evening to point out a clear road for the corpse-drivers who come and go from north to south in the middle of the night.
The knock on the door suddenly rang out in the evening night.
Fu Ji gently put down the teacup in his hand and listened in a slant.
"Is anyone here?" A young child outside the door called out loudly.
Fu Ji heard it clearly this time, there was indeed someone knocking outside the door!
It has been many years since this place has been silent for too long. I didn’t expect that someone would come to his inn to visit tonight! Fu Ji originally thought that no one would come to his inn to stay in his inn in his lifetime.
"Is anyone here?" The call sounded outside the door again.
Fu Jili stood up from the stool and responded loudly in his old and coaxing voice: "Hey, that's it."
After saying that, Ma Ji took a step forward, walked to the main hall of the inn with great energy, quickly opened the mottled wooden door, and looked closely.
Five children stood in front of the door, four of whom were about ** years old, with a childish look on their faces.
Fu Ji couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw this. He thought that someone in this world remembered his corpse-driving inn, but unfortunately, the ones who came to visit this evening were actually a few stinky kids.
I think they were not staying at home, but the little Weizi in the village made a prank.
He immediately restrained his smile and said with a gloomy face: "This is not the place you should come, hurry up and go home."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the wooden door hard, preparing to keep these children out.
Unexpectedly, just as the door was closed, a little girl in red suddenly reached out to support the wooden door that was about to be closed, and a powerful force suddenly came, which shocked Fu Ji almost stood unsteadily.
"What do you want to do?" Fu Ji looked at the little girl in red in front of him with a slight anger.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you're shocked when you see it.
Just now, I was observing the little furry children, but I ignored the slightly older girl in red.
But now when I look at it, I feel frightened.
The little girl in front of her was dressed in a torn red dress, her long black hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, her face was so white that it was scary, especially her eyes, which were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
But the most terrifying thing is that this little girl in red is not only as powerful as a cow, but also exudes a stimulating cold air all over her body.
"You... are you a Yin person?" Fu Ji asked a little nervously.
"Grandpa, she is not a yin person. Don't get me wrong. She was just attacked by the cold and cold air." Another little girl flashed her big eyes and made a naive argument.
"Oh, no wonder there is a yin and cold air on her body, but there is a hint of yang and sharp air, which is essentially different from the yin people." Fu Ji said to herself, not understanding.
"Hey, grandpa, how can you see the cold and cold air on her body? Could it be that you have opened your eyes?" A thin boy asked in confusion.
When Fu Ji heard the thin child in front of him talk about the sky eyes, he couldn't help but look at the children carefully again.
At the same time, I was shocked and puzzled: "Where are the children from where they came from? I used to think they were from the village, but now when I look closely, I have a very good look. Besides, the children in the village cannot understand the heavenly eyes and other things.
He said calmly: "I don't understand what the sky eye is, I just feel a yin energy on her body. Maybe I am older and have a broader knowledge than you, so it's not surprising that I can see it?"
"By the way, why are you here to find me, the old man?"
"Grandpa, is this a corpse-driving inn?" The little girl continued to ask.
"Are you here to stay?" Fu Ji asked curiously with wide eyes.
"Yes, grandpa, we rushed to Chenzhou City. After passing here, we saw that it was getting late, so we came to stay." As the little girl said that, she took out an ancient copper coin from her pocket and handed it to Fu Ji.
Judging from the texture of this copper coin, it should be a product of the Song Dynasty, and this little girl who handed over the copper coin is naturally our sister Yu Bing.
It turned out that after we had been traveling for a day, we finally found Lao Siyan in the evening. After entering the village, the sharp-eyed Yubing saw the house with white lanterns at a glance.
