Volume Four, Volume 13, Chapter 3, Xiahou Clan(1/2)
Although it was daytime, the environment in Minshan was too strange. £∝
Somehow, Xuanyin had an extremely gloomy feeling, and the woman in red looked at her face, and somehow, she was very gloomy and pale, like a vampire in the movie.
"That...that..." She suddenly regretted asking her about where her grandmother's tombstone was located, took a few steps back and said, "I..."
The woman in red stood up from the grave and looked at Xuanyin.
"You shouldn't be here now."
Xuanyin was stunned, what did she say?
"What do you... mean?"
"You... leave this mountain right away."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xuanyin felt that while saying these few words, the woman in red looked paler.
Then the woman in red left. When she walked by Xuanyin, she felt a chill.
This feeling made her feel a little creepy.
When the woman in red walked away, she turned around and looked at the woman in red.
"What kind of clothes... it feels so weird... and..."
"What does it mean to not be here 'now'? Then when should I be here 'when'?"
This strange words made her think of many.
Then she began to find the location of her grandmother's tombstone.
She walked in front of the tombstones, looking for the name "Xiahou Qinglian".
But before she could walk, she suddenly discovered something.
Among the innermost tombstones, a considerable number are the surname "Xiahou".
You know, Xiahou is a rare surname. This surname actually appears in large numbers here. It seems that there are quite a few people with the surname Xiahou in Minshan.
Speaking of which... Although this is the hometown of my grandmother, she knows and knows almost nothing much. Moreover, now she thinks that her father has the surname Xiahou. She originally thought that her father took his mother's surname for some reason, but now she wants to come...
Could it be that my grandfather’s surname is also Xiahou?
The more I think about it, the more I feel it is possible. But then, I should be able to find my grandmother’s tombstone here.
But as she walked... she suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at a tombstone in front of her.
"This...is...what is this?"
She rushed up, pressed the tombstone in front of her, and looked at the words engraved on it, unable to believe her eyes.
The tombstone is engraved with-
"The Tomb of Xiahou Xuanyin"!
"This...this...how is this possible?"
At this time, she suddenly remembered something. At that time, her grandmother seemed to have mentioned that her tombstone had been erected in advance when she was alive. Moreover, this seemed to be the custom of people over the other side of Minshan.
Could it be...
At this time, she looked next to her tombstone. The engraved on the tombstone was the name of her father!
The surname Xiahou is rare, and the same name may be very small, and there is the name of the father next to it. There is no need to say more, that is, erect a tombstone when he and his father are still alive?
Xuanyin is only in her twenties, so who would have set up a tombstone for herself at this age?
A creepy feeling hit my heart...
"What a joke...I, I'm still alive, why is my tombstone here? Why? I..."
Suddenly, she thought of the woman in red just now.
"You shouldn't be here now."
She seemed to understand the meaning of that sentence.
Could it be that...she should have come here after she died? Being buried in this tombstone?
She looked at the tombstone with hatred. Who erected it? Could it be... grandmother? But did the father know this? He probably didn't know. No one's father would erect a tombstone for her daughter when she was still alive? Moreover, even the words were carved. What's going on?
At this time, looking at the dense group of tombstones in front of you, are there many owners of tombstones still alive? Set up a tombstone when you are alive?
She gritted her teeth and looked at her tombstone and kicked her hard!
"No... absolutely not! I'm not dead yet, how can I erect a tombstone for me! absolutely not!"
However, this tombstone cannot be pushed down and is deeply rooted in the ground.
Finally, she decided to at least cross out the words above!
So Xuanyin ran to find something that could cross the characters.
But at this moment, it suddenly started to rain in the sky!
Xuanyin hurriedly covered her head with her hands and ran towards the bottom of the mountain. The rain soon became heavier and heavier.
However, Min Mountain is very desolate and can't even find a tree. As a result, no matter where you run, you can't shelter from the rain and you can't see anyone.
But the rain is getting heavier and heavier.
When I ran to a certain slope, I accidentally slipped and fell down!
In the end, she lost consciousness and fell under the slope. The heavy rain continued to pour.
I don't know how long it has passed...
The gorgeous sound slowly woke up.
There was a quilt made of linen covering her, and in front of her it seemed a very simple house.
"You're awake?"
She looked over and spoke with an old lady.
The old lady's face was covered with wrinkles, her back was hunched very hard, almost perpendicular to her waist, and it seemed that she would be buried in the next moment. Standing in front of Xuanyin like this made her feel very strange.
"That... may I ask?" She held her forehead that looked a little groggy and said, "Where is this place?"
However, the old lady stood there like a puppet, without any expression, but stared at Xuanyin tightly. After a long time, she said, "You are not a local, are you?"
"Yes...but my grandmother..."
"After the rain stops, leave immediately. Minshan is not the place you should come. Especially... these two days."
These two days? What does this mean?
Minshan seems to be filled with enough mysteries.
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside.
The old lady immediately lowered her voice and said, "Don't make any sound!" Then she walked out.
Aoyin pulled the quilt towards her body and leaned against the wall. Then, the sound of the door being opened came from outside.
"The day has been decided, it's the day after tomorrow."
"Do you have the day after tomorrow? So fast?"
"Yes. So that you must not leave the house that day. No one can knock on the door, but you cannot open it. Do you know? If any problem occurs, the Xiahou family will never be responsible for it."
"I understand. I will notify my family."
Xiahou family?
It's Xiahou again!
After a long time, the old lady returned to the door.
"Remember, I have never taken you in. After the rain stops, leave Minshan immediately!"
“Okay… OK…”
The old lady's turbid eyes were turning and concentrated on Xuanyin's body. After a long time, she left the room. And the eyes just thinking about it made people furrow all over.
"What's that look like just now?"
The rain... has not stopped.
She opened the window and looked outside.
In this stormy area, there is only such a farmhouse. There are no other houses.
Desolate... bleak...
This is how this brings her feeling.
What will happen the day after tomorrow...the day after tomorrow?
And at this moment, suddenly, she felt a cold hand put on her shoulder!
Xuanyin immediately turned around and grabbed the hand!
"You...you..."
To be continued...
