Not long after leaving, he looked back and saw Su Qingyue bending over the wellβs turning handle, with his older brother watching. He blurted out, βOlder brother, what are you doing staring at the well?β π£ππ’π’π΄ππππ¬π³ππ©.π π¬π
Li Gui came back to his senses and didnβt say that he wasnβt looking at the well, but at Su Qingyue, βNothing. Just wanted to drink some well water.β
βDidnβt I just carry some well water? Go home and use a ladle to drink some.β
Li Gui temporarily did not want his younger brother to know his thoughts, so he followed him.
Su Qingyue carried another load of water back to the Xiao Family and poured the two buckets into the jar, filling the big water tank.
She walked to the master bedroom door and knocked on the half-open door, βCan I come in?β
βWife, come inβ¦β
βYes.β
βAlright.β
Three male voices sounded at the same time.
Su Qingyue carried the toilet bucket to the backyard again, showing that the three men in the room had all used the toilet.
After washing her hands, she went to the secondary bedroom first, filled the water pot that Xiao Qinghe had drunk from earlier, and took it to the master bedroom with a cup, βEveryone drink some water first, but not too much. To avoid having a stomachache from drinking well water in the morning.β
The three sons each had a cup of water, and although they were not full and still a bit thirsty, they didnβt say anything.
Su Qingyue opened the window of the master bedroom, and the door was also left open. This way, the men in the room could see the situation in the yard.
Seeing the two big baskets of mushrooms in the yard, the three men were all quite surprised.
βYueβer, how did you find so many mushrooms this morning?β Xiao Yishan asked, his deep eyes full of tenderness, βCarrying such a big load back must have been hard.β
Xiao Yuchuan also said, βWife, you must be tiredβ¦β
Xiao Qinghe silently watched her, his eyes also full of affection.
Su Qingyue said, βThe day before yesterday, when I went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs, I found a lot of mushrooms not far from our home, in that mountain. The herbs were also picked from that mountainβ¦β
As she spoke, she described the path to that mountain, βStrange, why doesnβt anyone go to that nearby mountain?β
After hearing this, the faces of the three became a bit solemn. Xiao Yishan said, βYueβer, donβt go to that mountain in the future.β
βWhy?β
Yuchuan said, βWife, you donβt know. That mountain used to be visited by people. A few years ago, a newlywed wife in the village committed adultery and was hanged alive by a big tree on that mountain by her husbandβs family. Later, when someone went to play on that mountain, they said they saw a woman in red floating under the tree, with her neck still hanging from the tree. Everyone said that the hanged ghost had turned into a fierce ghost, and from then on, that mountain was called Hanging Neck Mountain, and the villagers stopped going there.β
Damn! Really? Su Qingyue muttered, βNo wonder there are so many medicinal herbs and mushrooms on that nearby mountain, yet no one goes to pick them.
Turns out the villagers are scared of ghosts.β She said with amusement, βSecond brother, third brother, fourth brother, you guys donβt really believe that there are ghosts on that mountain, do you?β
βIβve never believed in such things.β Xiao Yishanβs cold face was full of worry,
βYueβer, Iβm afraid youβll be in danger.β
βI have never believed in ghosts either.β Xiao Yuchuan also said, βItβs just that many villagers think that mountain is ominous, and more than one or two people have seen ghosts on it.β
βQingyue, donβt go to that mountain in the future, alright?β Xiao Qinghe also had a worried look on his face.
Su Qingyue slanted her lips, noncommittal. Although she had picked most of the mushrooms, there were still loads of bayberry fruits on the trees untouched. Itβd be strange if she didnβt go and pick them all..
