Chapter 2338: Witch
The woman said: "Although I can take you to see the witch, I have to tell you in advance that the old woman has a bad temper. If she loses her temper with you, don't blame me."
"It's fine!"
Zhao Xu and Su Rou were overjoyed.
After she arranged the basin, she wiped her hands and said to Zhao Xu and Su Rou: "Let's go!"
The five-kilometer road seems to be very short, but because it is a mountain road, the walking speed is not that fast.
It takes at least more than an hour to get from this left-behind village to the witch's cave.
It's not easy for this woman to help.
It is really not easy for people in the village to live a left-behind life.
Men go out to work, leaving only orphans, widows, mothers and some elderly people in the village. If it weren't for making a little more money, who would be willing to abandon their home and business and go out to work.
This woman didn't talk much and walked with ease.
After taking Zhao Xu and Su Rou to the cave where the "witch" was, the woman stopped at the door and said to Zhao Xu and Su Rou: "This is it! I'll be waiting outside, you go in!"
Zhao Xuyi is a brave man, so he doesn't worry about people playing tricks on him.
He said "Thank you!" to the woman, took Su Rou's hand, and entered the cave.
After walking about six or seven meters, the cave suddenly became clear.
I saw an old woman with gray hair sitting cross-legged on a bunk bed.
Before, the woman told Zhao Xu and Su Rou that this "witch" was blind.
Zhao Xu and Su Rou looked at each other, then heard the old woman sitting cross-legged on the bunk say, "You are finally here!"
Zhao Xu and Su Rou were startled when they heard this.
It seemed as if the old woman had known that the two of them would come.
Zhao Xu hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Junior Zhao Xu, meet grandma!"
Su Rou followed Zhao Xu's example and raised her hands to the old woman on the bed, saying, "Junior Su Rou, pay homage to grandma!"
The witch said "Huh!" and said, "It's a pity that I'm blind and can't see you!"
Zhao Xu got straight to the point and said: "Grandma, we have come all the way to Dawu Mountain to find the herbal medicine Huanyangcao. I want to ask you about the good or bad luck of this trip!"
"A narrow escape from death!" the witch replied.
When the "witch" said the words "narrow escape", Zhao Xu and Su Rou were shocked.
It was like a basin of cold water poured on their heads.
The witch said: "Your trip may not seem dangerous, but in fact it is full of dangers. Remember, as long as you believe in yourself, you will be able to overcome difficulties. As for whether you can find the sun-returning grass, it depends on your luck.
"
"Grandma, in which direction should we look?" Su Rou asked.
The witch said: "No matter which direction you look for, the fate is certain. This is a disaster for the two of you, and no one can escape."
"The two of us?"
Zhao Xu and Su Rou looked at each other.
Zhao Xu didn't expect that this matter would involve Su Rou.
Su Rou just took a vacation and accompanied her into the mountains to collect herbs. But she also had to go on adventures with herself, which made her feel sad just thinking about it.
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said to Su Rou: "I'm sorry! I didn't expect that you would be involved in this matter. It might be too late for you to quit now."
Su Rou smiled and said: "Do you think I am a person who can't afford to play? The more thrilling the challenge, the more in line with my personality."
The witch said: "Even if we let this police officer quit, she will have other disasters at work. Why not go through the disasters with you and avoid other disasters."
Su Rou only told the witch her name, but not her occupation at all.
But this "witch" was able to reveal that she was a police officer, which was really unexpected.
"Grandma, is there a way to resolve it?" Zhao Xu asked the witch.
The witch shook her head and said: "It can't be resolved! You are not just the two of you on this trip. One of you is not a human being! Remember, remember."
"Not a human?"
Zhao Xu and Su Rou looked horrified after hearing this.
It was obviously just the two of them on this trip. How could there be other people?
Furthermore, even if there are other people traveling with us, how can anyone be considered non-human?
The witch became more and more mysterious as she talked. Zhao Xu did not dare to ask any more questions. He was afraid that if he continued to ask more questions, he would reveal something shocking.
Zhao Xu took out two thousand yuan from his body and placed it in the alms bowl in front of the "witch".
Although the witch couldn't see, she knew that Zhao Xu had put money into the begging bowl in front of her, and said loudly: "I am a blind old woman, and it is useless to ask for money. If you are willing, buy some rice for me.
Come over with noodles and meat!”
When Zhao Xu came in, he saw a simple stove at the entrance of the cave. He didn't know how the witch cooked because he was blind.
No matter what the "witch" said is accurate or not, what they said is correct. Just do good and help this old man.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu took the money back and said to the witch: "Grandma, don't worry! I will send it to you tomorrow."
"Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow!" said the witch.
"Why?" Zhao Xu asked puzzledly.
The witch said: "You will know tomorrow!"
After exiting the cave, the woman asked Zhao Xu and Su Rou urgently: "Didn't the witch lose her temper with you?"
"No!" Su Rou shook her head and said, "Grandma, she is very easy to get along with! However, it is really pitiful to live here alone without being able to see."
The woman said: "She is a gifted person. She will be fine."
"The one born in heaven?"
Although Su Rou didn't understand what this meant, she felt that what this woman said made sense.
On the way back, the woman asked Zhao Xu and Su Rou: "Where are you going?"
Zhao Xu did not hide it, saying that he would go into the "Great Wu Mountain" to look for the herbal medicine "Huanyangcao".
"Huanyang grass?" The woman stopped and said, "I have lived here for decades, and I have never heard of herbal medicine like Huanyang grass."
"Is there a golden dragon? It's a golden snake with a comb on its head. The smaller the better."
"There are a lot of snakes here! But snakes like the one you mentioned are rare! Generally, snakes with combs have become sperms, so you must be careful."
When Zhao Xu heard that this woman was more superstitious than him, he stopped talking.
The woman said: "When we go back, the sun will set. There is still an empty room in my house. Are you husband and wife? Just live together. Don't worry, you won't be charged."
"Husband and wife?" Su Rou's beautiful eyes widened.
She is still a young lady, how come she becomes Zhao Xu's wife in the eyes of others.
Just when Su Rou was about to explain, Zhao Xu said to the woman: "Thank you, Auntie!"
"You're welcome!" The woman smiled and said, "You are so talented and handsome, so enviable!" After saying that, the woman continued to walk forward.
Su Rou glared at Zhao Xu.
