Chapter 346: Lady smile

Chapter 346 Mrs. Smile
The General's Mansion is the mansion of a prince of the Shang State, occupying a large area. Mrs. Chu and Luo Yao did not live together. She lived in a courtyard in one of the general's palaces with her four bridesmaids. After walking around the small lake, Fang Jie found a small courtyard fenced in a bamboo forest, and the locust tree in the courtyard, which had risen above the roof, appeared to be particularly discordant.
"Here is where the lady lived. The lady has been waiting for a long time."
Sun Zhe led Fang Jie to the door and stopped. He smiled and said, "Mrs. likes to be quiet, and I can't just go in at will, I can only take you here."
Fang Xie nodded his thanks, then saw the door was pushed open from the inside, and two women in plain dresses walked out slowly. The clothes of the two women are almost the same, and the walking postures are similar. Looking at them as if there are no feet under the long skirt, they are floating forward.
The faces of the two men were the same as white, but they were almost the same as Chu's.
"Yu Qiuju, Nu Yi Dongmei has met Xiao Fang."
These two women should not be too young, their bodies have been changed, and the wrinkles on the forehead and the corner of the eye are telling others that they are no longer young.
Fang Xie returned to the ceremony, Qiu Ju said that his wife had been waiting for a long time, and then Fang Xie invited in.
Only after entering this yard, Fang Jie suddenly felt a chill on his back. It was as if walking in a deserted alley at night, staring at something unclean behind. The threat seemed to be close to the back of the head, and at any time a ghost slammed the person.
At this time, Fang Jie saw a tree doll hanging on the big locust tree.
Just when the wind passed, the dolls hanging from the trees swayed with the wind. The craftsmanship of each doll is exquisite, and its eyebrows come alive. I don't know how long these dolls hung on the tree, the wind was blowing in the sun, and the little clothes on the dolls were broken. It is because of this that those dolls look extraordinarily dark.
Swinging, as if a group of little ghosts grinning at people.
These dolls look as big as three-year-olds and small as newborn babies. The most incredible thing is the fine workmanship. When walking past the locust tree, Fang Xie subconsciously glanced at the nearest doll, and found that the doll was so fine that the eyelashes and even the teeth were so realistic. Just looking at the solution, he couldn't help moving his eyes closer and closer. When he looked at the doll, it was as if the doll was looking at him, which made him uncomfortable.
There are no fewer than fifty or sixty dolls in this tree.
Seeing Fangjie staring at the doll, Qiu Ju apologized: "Since the accident of the younger master, the wife likes to make some dolls, and one or two each year, there are already as many as sixty or seventy. These dolls come from Jiangnan's famous Su Ji Ningwu Puzi is exquisitely made.
"What is the Cult Shop?"
Fang Jie didn't understand, and asked subconsciously.
"It's ... specifically for the dead."
Neither Qiuju nor Dongmei seemed to resent this handsome little Fang, and changed their cold habits to people in the past. Dong Mei whispered as he walked, "Su Ji's business was all because his family had a family member who died but his family was reluctant. When Su Ji was asked, Su Ji would make dummies that look like dead people, almost the same."
When I heard this, Fang Jie's scalp almost exploded, and my heart said how could Southwest have such a business. However, he did not know that people in the southwest would inevitably be affected by the living habits of the Dai people because of their long-term contact with the Qiang barbarians. It is said that the Dai people living in the jungle will not be buried after their relatives die. Instead, he asked the wizard to cut off the head of the deceased, hang it in the doorway after making it with the secret method. It is said that the skull treated by the wizard can guarantee that it will not rot for decades.
This kind of creepy thing that the Central Plains people seem to have is a habit that has not changed for thousands of years in the Dai people.
The way of thinking of the Dai people is also completely different from that of the Han people. For example, a long time ago, there was a poet from the original. Because of the curiosity of the way of living of the Qiang people, they spent thousands of miles to the southwest. In the tribe's life, he became friends with an old Wa hunter. He lived in the old hunter's home, and went out hunting with the hunter every day, drinking rice wine, eating barbecue, and seeing the eggs of the birds break open and eat.
After living in the jungle tribe for five years in this way, the poet became increasingly homesick, and then left the old hunter. He said I was going back, I miss my loved ones. The old hunter was very reluctant and kept it a few times but the poet's homesick heart could not be kept. The poet personally made a table meal, prepared the old hunter to fill up with rice wine, and finally accompany the old friend for a drunk.
After three rounds of wine, the old hunter said to the poet that you are leaving, I know you will never return. I will never see you again. I will miss it. Can you leave something for me? The poet said yes, what do you want? The hunter drew a knife and cut off the poet's head, soaked it in a secret method, and hung it by the bed.
This is it.
Every night before going to bed I talk to the person for a while, and there are still two pairs of chopsticks on the table every day.
Yongzhou is less than a thousand miles away from the jungle where the Qiang barbarians live. This place is better, and closer to the Qiang people, many Han people are also getting used to the things of the Qiang people.
Although Fang Xie had lived in Nanyan for a long time, he did not understand the way of life of the Dai people. Because after the founding of the country, Emperor Nan Yan Murong Sha began to use military forces against the Dai people, so that no Yan people could be seen in Nan Yan. After arriving in Yongzhou, I heard people mention it, but Fang Jie was not very interested.
At this moment, when Dongmei talked, he suddenly thought of this so-called Su Ji, and he could make such delicate things. This strange style seems to have the shadow of the Dai people.
The more he wanted to get colder in his heart, the more he felt that the dolls were staring at him.
"Master Xiaofang is afraid of these dolls?"
Dongmei asked in amazement.
Fang Jiechi smiled and said that your wife is a pervert. You've been seeing all day. It's been decades. So I'm used to it. But where are others who aren't surprised?
"Just ... not adapted."
He replied, leaving the big locust tree quickly and walking inside.
...
...
As he approached the door of the house, his wife Chu greeted him from the door. It can be seen that Qiuju Dongmei was also affected by her wearing plain clothes. The lady was wearing a white cotton dress instead of a brocade. The plain white dress is filial filial piety, so her clothes are dotted with some light yellow flowers with a slight change in the color of the belt around the waist. But even so, it still seemed as if he had just come out of the hall.
Fang Xie quickly owed his body to salute and said he had seen his wife.
He met as a junior, and Chu didn't take it for granted and then said a little bit. When she spoke, her tone was a little strange, and it seemed to be stiff.
Fang Jie followed her into the room, and although she was ready, she was taken aback.
Inside the room, the table was placed on the wall, and even the hanging on the beam of the room, all the delicate and delicate dolls.
Fang Xie took a deep breath, and found that the smell in the room was strange.
"What smell is this, it doesn't seem to be sandalwood."
Fang Xie asked subconsciously.
The oldest girl-in-law Chunlan asked Fang Xie to sit down and pointed to the incense burner not far away: "This is called Fengweixiang, which is unique to the Cangman Mountains on the south. It looks like laurel but the notes are tied together Then they separated, just like the tail of a phoenix, and because it smells very fragrant, it's called a phoenix. It has a body-saving effect, and many people use it. "
Fang Xie said aloud, and sat down on the chair and said to Chu: "Take the initiative to disturb, please forgive my wife."
Chu's eyes were staring at him all the time, and that flat cold look made Fang Jie very uncomfortable. She seemed to feel Fang Jie's mind, but she waved her hand if she didn't answer. . "
The faces of the four girls have changed, and they looked at each other and immediately took off the dolls in the house.
Without those things, Fang Jie's discomfort really reduced.
"I invited Master Fang to be a guest. If I take the liberty, I take the liberty first."
Chu's mouth ticked upwards as a smile, then pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Knowing that Master Xiaofang has eaten greasy things in Yongzhou City, I made a table in the morning Xi, I have n’t cooked for myself for many years, and my craftsmanship has grown rusty. In the past, generals like to eat the food I cooked. "
Fang Xie looked at it, and couldn't help but praise: "Don't talk about eating, just smell and drool."
When he raised his hand, he found a broken dandelion in his cuff, which was specially prepared by Fang Jie. Once poisoned, it is difficult to eradicate it unless it is cracked by the person who poisoned it. However, it is not impossible to prevent poisoning. In order to prevent themselves from being poisoned by their enemies, the people of the Dai people will take a capsule of rambutan before eating and drinking in a strange place. This medicine is only made with blindly cress, and it is not difficult to make. And after eating the cockroach made by Cocktail grass, even if you eat something with poison, it will spit out quickly.
It is said that all the poisonous insects are disgusted with cress. In the jungle, where poisonous crows grow, no poison will appear. Therefore, before the Dai people go deep into the jungle, they must tie a bunch of dried cocktail grass to drive the insects around the waist.
Fang Xie didn't worry that Luo Yao's wife would poison himself, but in Yongzhou, he had to be prevented from being shot.
In particular, Luo Yao House has the most powerful wizards.
Lu Ou's words did not forget a word of interpretation. Lu Ou said that he knew the secret things in the General's Mansion better than his wife Chu. He felt Podandan from his cuff and quietly threw it into his mouth before drinking. While eating, she waited for Chu to pour wine for herself, so Chu did not notice the small action of Fang Jie.
"Master Xiaofang is only seventeen this year?"
Chu asked after Fang Jie had a glass of wine.
Fang Xie nodded: "It's only a few months to reach seventeen."
"Well, Takako is three years younger."
Subcontinued, is the word of Luo Wen.
"Twenty-three years younger than Xian."
Xianchang is the character of Luo Wu. At that time, Luo Yao killed his family as a fate, and the whole family left only his wife Chu. Twenty years ago, it seems that Chu is still unable to let go. When she mentioned Luo Wu, her dull eyes changed slightly.
Fang Xie was surprised ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I felt this awkward and didn't know where it was.
"Let's eat, what's the taste?"
Chu's unpacking for Fang, his face softened slightly: "I rarely have any guests in this small courtyard. The four of them are lazy and have not cleaned up. It is my fault that it is uncomfortable for the small adult. Sorry."
She looked at Fang Jie's eyes when she spoke, making Fang Jie more uncomfortable than those dolls.
"Mrs. polite, this is the best vegetarian food I have ever had in my life. I am a soldier, so it is inevitable that I am a meatless person. Today is the first time that I think vegetarian food can stop me from chopsticks."
Fang Jie turned the topic away. He really felt that the five women in this small house and the room were weird.
"Just like to eat, I will make it for you later."
Chu's mouth picked up, and finally he traced a smile that looked normal. It's just that I haven't laughed for too long, and still look a little stiff.
