Su Xin was a little puzzled, and it was understandable that she was loving, but why did she show a reluctant expression in her eyes?

The villager who led the way said, "She is my mother, and tomorrow she will be 12 years old......

As soon as the words came out, he hurriedly stopped, his expression was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously looked at these outsiders, and saw that everyone didn't notice the meaning of his words, so he relaxed a little.

At this time, Su Xin suddenly stopped, turned to the villager and said, "It seems that your mother is very reluctant to have a little granddaughter." ”

"Ah, yes, yes." He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly responded, then avoided Su Xin's gaze, followed the other people, and continued to introduce the life here.

Su Xin sensed a hint of a different taste, but the other party deliberately avoided it, and she couldn't continue to get to the bottom of it, and she would accept it when she saw it.

Soon it was noon, and the village chief prepared a sumptuous lunch.

It's all a collection of game bacon, steamed and chopped directly and served on the table, the staple food is sweet potatoes, plus a large pot of stew.

Su Xin and the others also took out a large pile of ham sausages, bread, twist flowers, etc. and put them on the table.

Then the village chief took out a jar of fruit wine from the cellar in the backyard, patted the mud seal, and a strong aroma of wine instantly filled the house.

The village chief was gracious, and several people stopped at it.

The village chief talked about the life in their village, which was monotonous and ordinary, but it was very quiet and simple.

Su Xin and a few people talk about the life of people in the city, which seems to be rich and colorful, but they seem busy and impetuous.

At the end of the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Susin still didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, except for the big tree.

After eating, the village chief again called two sturdy villagers to take them to the nearby hills, where there were already plenty of wild fruits to pick this season. Most of them are used to make fruit wine. At noon, the fruit wine taken out by the village chief was made from fruits picked from the mountains.

Zhixiang was not as good as Su Xin and others because of his original physique, and he was killed by witchcraft before, and his body had not fully recovered at this time, so he had just walked out of the village not far away, and he was about to rest, and the village chief asked a young offspring to take him back to the village.

At lunchtime, Su Xin and the others decided to stay, and the village chief arranged accommodation for them.

There are many empty houses in the village, and they only need to be cleaned up a little to live in.

Shi Feng said: "It just so happens that I'm also a little tired from walking, let's go together." ”

Observing the situation in the village, Su Xin and Mo Li, Zhixiang had inexplicably put the mask on his face before, and at this moment, he was not at ease alone.

Su Xin and Mo Li are not afraid of such mountain climbing, they only enjoy the scenery of the terroir, and in fact, they are secretly using their abilities to look at this village that looks quiet and peaceful, but inexplicably gives people a strange feeling.

Standing on the hill, watching the red sun gradually set on the distant mountains, Su Xin connected all the bits and pieces of information she saw after entering the village, and finally knew that something was wrong.

All the doors were not locked, everything was stacked in the warehouse in a very neat and orderly manner, and from the faces and words of the people, they were full of simplicity.

Su Xin knew that the villagers were indeed more rustic, but she was also from the countryside, even if it was in a courtyard, the relationship was good enough to help the other party run around and work hard, contribute money and efforts, but she didn't say that she didn't lock the door, or that she didn't have that concept at all.

Su Xinzhuo smiled unintentionally and said to the villagers next to him: "Ah Ming, are all the people in your village like this who don't lock the door?" ”

Ah Ming was a young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark skin, clear eyes, and calloused hands. ”

Then he reacted again, "You mean the kind of thing that can't be opened when the door is closed, right?" What are you doing with that? ”

Then he asked, "Do you all have to lock every house in the city?" ”

Su Xin: "Yes, I'm afraid that someone will trespass into my house." ”

Ah Ming smiled: "What are you doing in other people's houses?" ”

Su Xin was speechless, looking at Ah Ming's innocent smile, the afterglow of the setting sun reflected a round of yellow outlines on his cheeks, giving people an incomparably warm feeling.

Yes, if we can all know this truth, how can there be a "lock" in the world.

As night fell, people returned home one after another, and two dim lights lit up around the village, and curling smoke rose into the clouds and mist on the mountainside.

From the warm lamplight, the joy and laughter of the family came to the village, and after eating, some of them gathered under the big trees in the village one after another, and sat around on the stone platform, or chatted or knitted some farm tools.

In the evening, Su Xin and his family sat down to eat with the village chief's family, his son and daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter of twelve or thirteen years old.

Zhixiang has indeed crossed the mountains and mountains in the past two days, which makes the body very unbearable, and it is much better to rest for half a day.

It's just that Su Xin noticed that his face still seemed to be as pale as it had been in the morning.

At the table, the village chief's son and his wife looked very unnatural, because it was inconvenient for outsiders to speak.

The old village chief looked very calm, and said something without a beginning or an end: "This day has finally come......

After eating, Su Xin wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped, but was called outside by the village chief to talk.

His expression was very solemn, and he looked back and forth from Su Xin's faces several times before finally speaking: "I believe you also have a general understanding of our village today, we welcome anyone to visit our village, but there is one thing, that is, we must abide by the rules of our village." ”

Su Xin's expression was also very solemn, and he bowed his head: "Guests are as you please, village chief, please speak." ”

Village Chief: "I know you're not from an ordinary background, but there are some things that you shouldn't be able to touch. The first rule in our village is that you can't go out of the house after the hour of the unitary, let alone go under the big tree, and don't open the door whatever you hear at night. Second: here you can use anything you want, but you can't take it with you, whatever it is. ”

Su Xin asked, "Can the village chief tell us what the name of the big tree is?" Those masks ......"

Without waiting for Su Xin to finish speaking, the village chief looked up to the sky and sighed, "Girl, I know that you are a little different from ordinary people, but ...... There are some things that seem to us to be a matter of course, but it is difficult for you to accept them. ”

Su Xin's heart moved: "The village chief said 'It's hard for us to accept', but what does it mean that those people disappeared for no reason? ”

The village chief looked at the figure swaying in the lights in the house, it was his son and daughter-in-law cleaning up.

Finally, the voice said leisurely: "That tree is called the appearance of all beings." ”

Several people glanced at each other, and when they saw that the village chief finally relented, they couldn't help but feel a little excited and expectant.
