Chapter 157: No walking today
Xiao Baojing saw that the old lady was not moving smoothly, and after eating potato, she wiped her hands, walked over and said, "I'll help my mother-in-law dye her hair."
The black bean juice dyed her hair Long-lasting, need to be dyed frequently.
Xiao Baojing looked at the black dirt remaining on the brush, guessing that the old lady often dyed her hair.
She said, "Mother-in-law pays great attention to appearance."
The old lady stared at the bronze mirror, her voice silenced: "You should be young... like young..."
Everyone likes young.
This is not a shameful thing.
Xiao Baojing dyed the old lady's white hair black. While waiting for drying, he saw the old man tremblingly picking up a red silk flower and carefully setting it to his temples.
She couldn't help but wonder: "My mother-in-law dressed up carefully. Is she going out to meet the person she likes? But it's dark outside and there will be dangers in the woods."
A hint of surprise flashed through the old lady's muddy eyes, and then she curled her lips unhappily.
She ignored Xiao Baojing, opened a clam shell, took some ointment from it, and carefully applied it to her face.
She stared at the bronze mirror tightly, her rough and old palms slowly stroked her cheeks, slowly lifting the muscles on her cheeks, as if she hoped to smooth out wrinkles and make her skin smooth again lubricating.
But when she put down her hand, the muscles she lifted up drooped again.
In the bronze mirror, there is still a wrinkled face.
The old lady sighed, then applied some oil to her palms, and continued to lift her facial muscles.
Xiao Baojing looked at it for a long time, but he didn't stop.
This old man probably wants to be young and crazy.
But even modern medical beauty cannot allow women to completely transform from old age to young beauty, let alone backward ancient times?
She thought, put a few golden copper coins on the table and went to bed first.
After rushing for several days, Xiao Baojing slept very heavily.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I always feel something is wrong in a daze.
She opened her sleepy eyes—
In front of her was an enlarged face.
Wrinkles are long and old, and the bags of eyes are almost hanging to the corners of their lips. The eyes of her eyes were filled with envy that had not yet faded, and it seemed that she had been staring at her for a long time.
Xiao Baojing was startled, his sleepiness disappeared, and he suddenly sat up: "Mother-in-law?!"
The light and shadow in the room were dark, and the old lady held a candle and quietly withdrew her gaze: "Get up."< "It's just up, it's scary to get up, it's so scary when you keep silent..." Xiao Baojing was angry and got up to wash and change clothes.
A wooden basin was placed on the face washing rack, and the old lady had already put hot water for her in advance.
Xiao Baojing wiped his face and sat in front of the mirror to comb his hair.
Although the mirror is dim and old, Xiao Baojing can still see the old lady. She stood behind her with a candle, staring at her face reflected in the mirror. Her elusive look can scare people!
Xiao Baojing pressed his little heart that was beating around.
Those who know that she is a monster, but they don’t know that they thought this old lady was a monster!
She combed her hair and applied some powder to her face. She was about to say goodbye to the old lady. The old man turned around and walked to the table: "Let's have a meal."
Breakfast is sweet potato porridge.
It was called porridge, but there was no rice inside, it looked more like sweet potato.
Xiao Baojing ate a bowl and didn't want to eat it: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for taking in and receiving, I should leave-" "No!" The old lady suddenly became angry, "No today is allowed."
"Why?"
"Anyway, you are not allowed to leave! You will not leave tomorrow!" She got up to clean up the dishes, made a big noise, and cursed, "One or two, you're going to leave in a hurry! Since she's so anxious, she's so anxious. I'm leaving, why are you going back?!" Xiao Baojing was confused.
One or two?
Have anyone else been here besides her?
She stood up and said, "But I have something else--"
"Don't leave!" The old lady tightly clamped her wrist, "Don't leave! You will be allowed to leave tomorrow!"
Her hands were dry and rough, and Xiao Baojing's wrist was very painful.
She was about to shake her away, but with the faint candlelight, she saw that the old man seemed to have red eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, wanting to see what the old man wanted to do, so she softened her attitude: "Okay, then I'll leave tomorrow."
The old lady was not idle, she finished cleaning up In the room, I sat in front of the mirror and carefully scrubbed my eyebrows and dressed up, and looked like a yellow-flowered girl.
Finally dressed up properly, she took Xiao Baojing's hand and said, "Go out."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar, one bar!
Xiao Baojing accompanied her to leave the Paper Shed Village, and the morning light finally shone into the mountains.
She saw the old man wearing bright red and green clothes, dyed black hair, and his face was painted white and red, looking quite funny.
She couldn't help laughing: "Mother-in-law looks so young."
"Young is good, young is good..."
The old man murmured, but his steps were very staggering.
After walking for about an hour, Xiao Baojing finally saw a village appearing in the valley.
There were many villagers gathered in the village, with men and women sitting on small benches, busy laying lanterns.
It turns out that this is a simple lantern factory.
Behind them was a two-story building, with big red lanterns hanging on the eaves, and brand new peach talismans were pasted on the door. A few children gathered together to compare whose lantern was more beautiful, and were called back by their mother to eat soup dumplings. .
Xiao Baojing realized it later and said that today is the Shangyuan Festival.
She and the peddler went to the eternal night place in winter. There was no calendar there, and the monsters had no customs for celebrating the festival. She even unknowingly celebrated New Year's Eve and New Year!
She accompanied the old lady to sit on the stool in the corner, watching her bend bamboo strips familiarly and make lantern skeletons.
The old man was obviously used to doing this kind of work. Over the years, her hands were thick and thick. The sharp bamboo strips were flipped easily in her palms, but she could not even cut her hands.
Xiao Baojing looked at it for a moment and started walking in the village by himself.
After eavesdropping on the conversation between several villagers, she realized that the old lady lived in a small paper shed village, and the village was a large paper shed village.
The man in Xiaozhihuang Village died in the battlefield, and other villagers slowly moved to Dazhihuang Village. Now only the old lady lives there.
Several men were pawning lanterns while staring at the old lady's back and laughing: "Look at her dressing up in a gorgeous way. I don't know who she is going to seduce!"
"I heard that her man and two sons were recruited by the government and died on the battlefield. Her eldest daughter-in-law and her two grandchildren remarried. Her youngest daughter-in-law had a big belly and had a life of one corpse. She was the only one left in their family. She is alone! She also applies makeup every day, probably because she wants to marry a man! ”
"Hehe, you can marry her!"
"You can marry her, you can marry her!"
They were fighting and making a fuss, and they didn't have any right words.
Xiao Baojing held a piece of wheat grass in his mouth and squatted in the corner to listen to them.
She looked at the old lady's hunched back, and a little surprise and pity flashed through her eyes.
After a while, she picked up a few lanterns that had just been pasted and covered the men's heads.
Thank you for the rewards of the mountains and wilds, and hug you! Thank you for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, bow! !
