Chapter 9 Dark Mountain Night

Mountain ghosts are not wild ghosts or ghosts in the mountains, but refer to a female mountain god in ancient times. He is known to the world because of his beautiful appearance, stunning and ethereal appearance.

However, as the years passed, this statement was no longer known and understood by the public. There are also a few remote places in the deep mountains that still retain the legacy of the ancient times, and they are still called by this.

The newlyweds looked at the girl curiously. Although they had never seen the legendary mountain goddess in ancient times, the girl's temperament was indeed similar to the legend.

The good thing is that after Bai Chou explained for a while, the two gradually gave up their previous conjectures.

"In this way, this young lady may have been asleep in the realm of Taoyuan a long time ago, but it was only when the world changed in recent years that she broke the silence and gradually woke up." One of them, Xi Niang, put forward her own conjecture.

"Our husband and wife also grew up in this mountain. In the past ten years, we have never seen the children of nobles come here to travel with them. I'm afraid they can't provide any useful clues." The groom on the side also shook his head slightly.

Although the two have just gotten married, they have known each other since childhood and are relatively familiar. There are only these people in the nearby cottage villages. After being together for decades, they know each other very well.

"Thank you two for your explanations. Actually, you don't have to worry too much about me." The girl shook her head slightly. After she woke up, in her sleep for the past two days, she had started to think about the past deeds one after another. Although it was only a part, it was not like the beginning. So panicked.

As long as it takes time, complete recovery is not a problem, but occasionally there is a little bit of heartache and miss.

The newlyweds looked at the girl under the candlelight, her beautiful face was a bit peaceful and quiet, and they really didn't want to be timid and panicked, and also secretly praised her.

"Then we won't be too anxious to inquire. If you are not in a hurry, you can live here for a few days. When the merchants come over, you will go out with them, it will be much safer. Otherwise, if you go alone, you will be poisoned by snakes and insects along the way. Ze, the monster attack is always unstable."

The girl and Yu Baiqiu had a brief conversation and nodded.

"Then I'll bother you." She stood up, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly.

When I was away from home, I had no relatives, and it was indeed a blessing to be accepted and entertained by others.

"It's okay, I'll go check if the room is clean first. It's just for the wedding, and I've vacated a few rooms recently." After speaking, the hostess pushed the door and went out first.

Unlike the matchmaker's words outside the mountain, where the parents made a marriage contract, the Yeyu family in the mountain still retains the simple tradition of free love. After the two fell in love naturally, they gradually told their parents. Before getting married, the woman had also visited the man's house several times, so she was not unfamiliar. Now that the wedding has been completed, she has also become the new hostess.

After dark, most of the guests who came to celebrate went home, while a few aunts and cousins ​​who were very close would stay and stay with them for the night.

After waiting for a while, the hostess also re-entered the house and waved to the girl.

"The room is ready, it's upstairs next to Qiong, come with me."

Qionglou is a local stone-stacked building, shaped like a square tower, with a small window around each floor, allowing you to see the outside.

The hostess led the way ahead with an orange light, and then went up the wooden ladder.

"I haven't asked your name yet? My name is Baizao." She suddenly remembered something, and then turned her head. The red and white headdress on her head was still very beautiful in the light of the candlelight.

"As for the name, it seems to be Lan Xier, my memory is a little fuzzy." The girl replied, in fact, she had already remembered her full name, which was called Luo Lan Xier, but now Luo is the royal surname, she can't say it directly.

"It's a very nice name, it has a strange rhythm." The bride smiled slightly. Although she was not beautiful in the world, her face was extremely rare in the nearby cottage villages.

"We Ye Yu don't have much contact with the outside world, and we don't have that much etiquette, so if we're here for a few days, if you have anything to do with me, just call me Baizao."

"Okay, thank you Sister Bai." The girl nodded obediently.

Different from the world with lights everywhere in my memory, in this ancient and mysterious world, because there are no lights, the whole world will be extraordinarily dark at night.

In the mountains and forests, there is no moonlight, it can be said that you can't see your fingers, and you can't see anything at all. In the face of such endless darkness, the residents of the mountain rarely go out at night. Even if they have to enter the mountain, usually a group of people take torches to strengthen each other.

The lantern in Baizao's hand swayed in the dark night, dividing the stairs and the figure into two parts, the dark and the bright. With the change of the position of the lantern, some places entered the darkness where no five fingers could be seen, while others were illuminated, revealing parts that had not been seen before.

Sometimes, even if you can hold her hand for a person who is very close in front of you, once the light turns and does not shine on her face, when you look up, you can only see those faint black eyes, and the whole face looks at her. not seen.

Such scenes often make children afraid, afraid of the unknown strangeness in the dark.

However, what surprised Bai Zao a little was that even in such a dark environment, the girl still had a calm face, light footsteps, and no hesitation, as if she was walking on a flat road.

Perhaps, this person may really be the reincarnation of the goddess in the mountains, with an extraordinary origin. Such thoughts floated in her mind, and she continued to walk ahead.

This world has been home to all kinds of immortals and beasts since ancient times, and people and gods have mixed together.

Another corner of the stairs

, Baizao stopped with the lamp in hand, took off the hanging door lock, pushed the door, and led Loren Hill behind him into the room.

After entering the room, she first lit the oil lamp candlestick in the room, letting the soft light flood the room, and then turned around to introduce.

"It's in the west corner of the fourth floor. It's relatively quiet. Let's sleep here today."

The girl simply looked around and looked at the room. There was a wooden bed on the side against the wall, which was covered with a blue-blue quilt, and there were local blue-dyed prints on it, which looked a bit simple and beautiful.

In addition, there is a red lacquered dressing table next to the wooden bed, with a bronze mirror on it.

"The upper floor is the attic where the sundries are piled up, and the lower floor is the aunt's room. She estimates that she will sleep late tonight, because she will have a night watch with the sisters at night."

"If you have something to do, you can come downstairs to find me in the yard. There will be people in the yard all night today." After Bai Zao explained, he left a lantern and waved downstairs.

After Baizao left, Roland Hill sat by the bed and looked at the ceiling above and everything around him.

In this kind of local building, the ground floor is generally not occupied by people. It is used for tying livestock or stacking forage and firewood. Only the second and third floors live. The top floor is generally used to store infrequently used sundries. The whole building is made of stones, in the shape of a tower. From the outside, it looks like mud and rocks, very simple. However, the interior is quite delicate, and some of the daily utensils that should be there will not be lacking.

After walking a few steps back and forth in the house, the girl came to the window and looked out of the dark window.

Everything in the field of vision is almost completely dark, and the hills and the world in the distance can only be seen with extremely faint curves in the starlight overhead. kind of fear.

The mountains at night are still so scary. The girl whispered, thinking of the images that appeared in her mind, as if she was like this when she was a child, standing in front of the window looking at the dark mountains, and sometimes she would have nightmares in fear.

I finally remembered something, I had the experience of living in the deep mountains in my previous life when I was a child.

In this way, is this her third life? She closed the window and sat back beside the bed. She looked at the warm and flickering candlelight, and sighed at the ephemeral and changing time.
