I became an internet celebrity by running a grocery store

The sun rose slowly, and the slanting dawn light shone unobstructed on the frozen ground, casting a layer of warmth on the pedestrians on the village road.

Li Hu carried a few bundles of firewood on his back, and walked slowly into the village.His hands and feet were already freezing cold, and the coir raincoat on his body was covered with the cold morning dew and was blown by the cold wind into a thin layer of frost.Because walking was difficult, he exhaled hot air, which turned into smoke before his eyes and quickly dissipated.

"Little Huzi, what are you doing?"

The person who asked the question was an old man named Li.He has a higher seniority in the village, and everyone respectfully calls him Second Lord Li.

Li Hu pulled away the corners of his frozen mouth and smiled, as if he could hear the sound of the thin ice forming on his face breaking due to the change of his facial expression. "Sell firewood."

Second Master Li glanced at the snow-covered, already soaked firewood behind him. "Why didn't you sell it?"

Li Hu sighed, lowered his head, and said a little lonely, "It's snowing too much, the road is blocked, so we can't get through."

As soon as his words fell, several young people came one after another behind him.Some were carrying baskets, some were carrying animal skins, and they all returned home lost.

Second Master Li looked at them, shook his head, and sighed deeply.

It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but for tenants like them, no matter how well the crops are grown, most of them are taken away by the landlords.If you meet a generous and kind-hearted person, you are willing to pity them and charge less rent.However, Li Family Village has greedy, rich and unkind people like Li Dayao, who not only ask for more money, but also never reduce their income even in times of disaster, which makes people complain endlessly.

Therefore, in addition to farming, the people in Lijia Village will also do some idle work during the slack season, chop some firewood, and sell some wild game in the city to sell in order to supplement their families.But now that the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it really completely cut off everyone's way of life.

"Well... how is your mother doing recently?"

Li Hu raised his eyes, because of Li Erye's words, there was a bit of sadness in his eyes.He braved the heavy snow to sell firewood in the city just to exchange life-saving medicine for her mother.His mother has been ill for three days and has taken a lot of medicine, but she hasn't recovered for a long time.

"It's still the same."

Li Erye sighed after hearing this, he was about the same age as Li Hu's mother.Hearing this kind of news, I couldn't help feeling a layer of anxiety in my heart.The rabbit died and the fox was sad. When the old people in the village left one by one, he was afraid that it would be too soon.

Leaning on crutches, he walked up to Li Hu, "No way, ask Mrs. Li to show your mother."

Mrs. Li is the goddess of the village, who came to Lijia Village about ten years ago.Crazy, has been living in the ruined temple in the village.People in the village saw her as an old woman, alone, with a weak mind, and they all felt sorry for her.Whoever has leftovers will bring them to the ruined temple.Thinking about how much she can eat as she is getting older, she probably won't live for a few years.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li has a strong body and a big appetite.How much is given to her every day, how much she eats, there is no waste at all.If she didn't give it to her one day, she would never yell, and she would never make a fuss.No one knows how old Mrs. Li is this year.All she knew was that her hair was as white as snow, and her face was wrinkled, as if it had been carved with a knife.There are only two eyes, shining brightly. It looks like an eagle staring at a hare on the ground, and can see right through you.

Everyone discovered that Mrs. Li had some skills two years ago. That year, like this year, the mountains were covered by heavy snow.But somehow, a charming woman came to the entrance of the village.She said that she was a young lady of the Nian family, who was taken away from her home by gangsters, and she was abandoned here because she couldn't ask for money.

The villagers of the Li family are simple-minded and have lived in the mountains all their lives.Seeing that Miss Nian was dressed in silk and satin, surrounded by emerald beads, and she was so pitiful, she believed it.Set her up in the village for the time being, and send her down the mountain when the snow stops.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li found out about this somehow, and she went crazy for the first time in the village.She grabbed the broken wooden stick from the ruined temple, rushed into the room where Miss Nian was placed, and beat her without saying a word.The mouth is also unbearable, and several people can't stand her.

The people in the village were only focused on stopping Mrs. Li, wondering where she got such strength that even a strong man couldn't do anything to her.By the time Granny Li calmed down, Miss Nian had already disappeared.The people in the village were worried and searched around nearby. They heard that she had gone to the next village, so they came back with peace of mind.

From that day on, everyone felt a little more resentment and fear towards Mrs. Li.Blame her for blocking the way of making money for the villagers, otherwise she will definitely get a lot of money by sending Miss Nian home.But he was also afraid that she would start beating people like crazy one day, so he didn't dare to show it in front of her.

The strange thing is that Mrs. Li hasn't had any trouble since then.They just went door to door to ask for ashes from the stove, and then scattered them finely at the entrance of the village and in front of each house.Everyone knew she was crazy and ignored her.Later, she actually sprinkled it on people, and she laughed, and everyone got angry.They all discussed to drive her out of the village.

Before it was planned, a disease broke out in the next door village.Corpses were carried out every day, and the wailing and crying continued, so this matter was put on hold.

The disease slowly spread to the surroundings, and several nearby villages suffered. Only Lijia Village was in good condition, and no one was infected.The villagers got together and couldn't help wondering about this.Some people said it was the blessing of the ancestors of the Li family, while others said it was thanks to Mrs. Li.

After that Miss Nian ran to the next village, the epidemic broke out within a few days. Miss Nian also evaporated out of thin air at that time, and there was no one alive or dead.Everyone thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.How can there be such a coincidence in the world, but I don't know how Mrs. Li knew that there was something wrong with that young lady.

Everyone ran to the ruined temple, and saw Mrs. Li still wearing the tattered clothes, resting her head on a stone, with a relaxed expression, as if she was not affected by the epidemic at all.

"Grandma Li, we're here to bring you food."

Grandma Li opened her eyes and looked at them, took the meal and started to eat it.

After she finished eating, everyone asked.I saw Mrs. Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and snorted coldly. "It's nothing more than mountain smell. Although the human form changes, it's also ghosts and ghosts."

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but they don't know what the mountain smell is.But respect and fear for Mrs. Li spontaneously arose, and no one said anything about driving her out of the village.As long as there are red and white events in the village, they will find her to pick a good day.

Second Master Li's words are not unreasonable, after all, Li Hu's mother usually has a strong body, why did she suddenly fall down when she said she fell down, don't let some dirty things get on her.

Li Hu's eyes darkened after hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, he also felt strange.After thanking Mr. Li a lot, he ran to the ruined temple without even unloading the firewood.

The dilapidated temple is no longer the same as it was in the past, because Mrs. Li saved the lives of the whole village, and everyone contributed money and effort to repair it.Although the walls are still mottled, it is not a problem to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is much more comfortable than before.

Li Hu stepped forward and knocked twice respectfully, but there was no sound.After waiting anxiously for a while, Mrs. Li did not open the door for him.He couldn't wait any longer, and shouted outside the door. "Grandma Li."

There was still no response, he was lying on the door frame and was about to peek in through the crack of the door to see if Mrs. Li had gone out.At this moment, the door creaked and opened from the inside.

Mrs. Li was expressionless, looking at him with two pairs of bright eyes.

But today Li Hu is not afraid, he came to find Mrs. Li for help. "Grandma Li, my mother is sick, can you help me take a look?"

Mrs. Li didn't speak, neither agreed nor refused.

Li Hu didn't understand what he meant, so he asked again.Li Pozi looked at him as if she had just heard it, and walked out.Li Hu followed behind her, not knowing where she was going.He didn't dare to ask, so he followed step by step, begging in a low voice.

When he saw Mrs. Li stop at the door of his house, he was very happy, and bowed his back respectfully to invite Mrs. Li to enter.As soon as Mrs. Li entered the yard, instead of going to the bedroom to see Aunt Li, she ran straight to the kitchen.Li Hu's daughter-in-law was cooking porridge for the old woman, and she let out a fright when she broke in suddenly.

Although Li Hu didn't know what she wanted to do, he knew how powerful Mrs. Li was.Pulling his daughter-in-law to his side, he made a silent gesture, telling her not to disturb Mrs. Li.

Li Hu's daughter-in-law quickly shut up, and stood beside Li Hu quietly watching her.I saw Mrs. Li finally standing in front of the stove, took out a kitchen knife from the side, raised it and walked in front of Li Hu.

Li Hu and his daughter-in-law took a step back in fright at the same time, Li Hu forced himself up against the door frame, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma Li, if you have anything to say, speak up."

Mrs. Li glanced at the kitchen knife, "Where did this knife come from?"

Li Hu didn't know, it didn't seem to be the one he usually used at home.He shook his frightened daughter-in-law, and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The daughter-in-law swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, shook her lips and replied, "Mother... Mother bought it."

Li Hu's heart trembled, and he felt that something was wrong. He was afraid that the problem was with the knife.He brought Mrs. Li to his old lady's bed, and his old lady couldn't get out of bed now.The whole person is like a fallen leaf in late autumn, slumped on it with ashes, his face pale.Li Hu couldn't help feeling sad, he suppressed his sadness, wiped his face, knelt in front of his old mother's bed, choked up and said: "Mother, I want to ask you something, did you buy this knife?"

The old lady opened her eyes, her eyes were gray, like a dead sea.She glanced at the knife in Mrs. Li's hand, and nodded slowly.

"On credit."

A few days ago, a knife-on-credit man came to the village. Everyone knows about the knife-on-credit man's business.He doesn't need money to buy a knife, he will tell you a word.If it becomes true in the future, I will ask you for money again.If not, this knife will be given to you for nothing.

It just so happened that the knife at home was a little blunt after being used for a long time, so my old lady took it upon herself to buy it on credit.

Li Hu asked her again, "When did you get credit?"

The old lady replied: "The fifth day of December."

Li Hu's daughter-in-law tugged on his cuffs after hearing this. Isn't the day when my mother was sick was the fifth day of December.

Li Hu's face turned pale, and he stood up and looked at Mrs. Li. "What... what's going on here?"

They all know people who use credit knives, but they have never heard of anyone who gets credit knives from a strange disease.

Mrs. Li ignored him, looked at the old lady and asked, "Did you cut the knife when you bought it?"

The old lady Shi Shiran nodded.

Mrs. Li smiled knowingly, holding the knife in one hand, and gently rubbing it with the other. "You can't cut a knife on credit, let alone the soul of the dead under the knife. This is the technique of moving the flesh, which allows you to prevent unprovoked disasters for others."

As she spoke, she walked to the window and called Li Hu. "Look here."

She stretched out her hand to point, and saw that there was still a little bit of redness on the handle of the knife, which was particularly conspicuous on Leng Ling's blade.Li Hu couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, he stumbled and said, "What is this? Blood?"

Mrs. Li nodded.

Li Huzi's heart skipped a beat when he saw her, and he felt his eyes darken.His legs suddenly went limp, and he knelt down in front of Mrs. Li, begging. "Grandma Li, please save my mother."

The author has something to say:

The mountain scorpion, also known as the Nian Beast, carries the disease.
