Chapter 672 A hospitable old woman
"Who?" An old woman's voice came from the house, and she spoke not the dialect of the Miao people, but Mandarin with a slight Hunan accent. Ma Chengfeng glanced at Chu Tianyue and thought, could it be that there are Han people living in Miao Mountain?
"Hello mother-in-law, we are from a foreign country, and we can't walk through here, can we go into the house to rest?" Chu Tianyue spoke as slowly as possible. Girls are more talented in this area. When I was a child, my Chinese teacher always said that language is an art, and the same meaning is divided into who says it and what to say. The meaning of the same sentence expressed by different people may be very different.
Think about it, if Ma Chengfeng came up and shouted in a rough Northeast dialect: "Hey? Don't you live in silver? Mali opened the door, we were tired, we had something to eat on the hour, and we were happy! Or kick the door! "That doesn't scare people to death? I thought it was bandits and robbers who came in.
"Ahem...... ......The old lady in the room coughed softly, and as her footsteps approached, the two old wooden doors creaked open.
The moment the door opened, Ma Chengfeng looked in along the crack in the door, the light in the room was very dim, so dark that almost no furniture could be seen, the room was filled with an inexplicable yin qi, as soon as the door was opened, the yin qi instantly gushed out, making him and Chu Tianyue shiver at the same time.
The old lady carried an old-fashioned diesel lamp in her hand, she wore a Miao pleated skirt, two large earrings on her ears, silver ornaments on her chest, and her gray hair was very messy. She held a diesel lamp and shook it in front of Chu Tianyue, as if she was a little presbyopia. After watching it for a long time, I was relieved to see that it was a sweet-looking little girl.
"I haven't had a guest in this old house for decades, so if it's not too shabby, come in." The old lady spoke slowly.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, we won't live in vain, we will give you money, is there anything else to eat at home? Please help us get some, and to tell you the truth, we were really hungry after a night's drive. Chu Tianyue said to her with a smile.
The two of them talked, Ma Chengfeng kept staring at the old lady, the old lady's face was full of wrinkles, the people in the mountains have been busy with their own work all their lives, so the skin is also tanned, her face, her hands are full of wrinkles, the wrinkles can kill ants, and there seems to be a layer of keratin on the surface of the skin, how many years has it been that she hasn't taken a bath? It's all caught up with calluses. Ma Chengfeng, who was watching, frowned.
"Sister? What did you say? Got on the road all night? Am I deaf? Did you hear it wrong? How could it be overnight? I remember it was just sunset, didn't he? "The old lady is not deaf, an old man of her age may be a little confused, and a person wrapped in an isolated life, I am afraid that he has no concept of time for a long time.
"Huh...... You say yes, yes. By the way, these are my friends, so ...... Then bother you. Chu Tianyue hurriedly gave Ma Chengfeng a look and motioned him to be polite.
Ma Chengfeng hugged his shoulders and was always not at ease with this old lady, but they broke into the top of the mountain to borrow it, so they had to smile reluctantly and clasp their hands into fists to salute.
"Come in, come in, it's cold outside." The old lady held a diesel lamp and brought the group in.
"Can't...... No...... Can't you!!! Demon! Demon!!!! That's the devil! Hahaha...... "It's also a coincidence, just at this time, Professor Monalo didn't know what evil he had committed, and he was sick again, dancing and shouting and screaming, saying that he wouldn't go in anything."
"Sister Chu, go give your teacher an injection, maybe he was tired last night, don't let him shout, it's not good if it gets dawn in a while and provokes those seedlings in the mountains." Ma Chengfeng instructed. He carried a large bag and a small wrap on his back, and led the mute child in his hand. The light in the room was dim, or at all, there was no light at all, and he found something unusual, the room was completely rectangular, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, with a straw curtain in between, the first room had no windows on the four walls, and there was no furniture in the room. The only thing is a broken bamboo bed and a stove.
There was a faint flame burning in the stove, and an iron pot sat on it, bubbling in the pot, and I didn't know what the old lady was cooking.
The taste in the pot is very strange, Ma Chengfeng is also knowledgeable, he has eaten many rare and delicious foods in the world, but the taste wafting out of the pot is indescribable, the taste is not like meat, nor like pasta, and there is no plant fragrance, anyway, it is weird.
"Sit down, you're all hungry, aren't you? My mother-in-law will cook meat for you to eat. The old lady crouched down in front of the stove and stirred the pot with a large dusty spoon. Ma Chengfeng, who watched it, was disgusted.
"Mother-in-law, don't bother, we brought our own dry food. By the way, do you wake up so early every day? We didn't delay your rest, did we? Ma Chengfeng took out the ham sausage and compressed biscuits in the bag and handed them to the mute child.
"Is it early? This...... Isn't it just dark? Am I confused? Misremember? The old lady said slowly. She poked her head out and looked out, it was very dark, and she didn't even mean to light up the sky.
Just now, Ma Chengfeng said that it was already four o'clock in the morning when they said to find a place to rest, and it would be at least more than half an hour now. Xiangxi belongs to the southwest region, and it is said that the sunrise time is about the same as that of the northeast in this season. Although the sun had not yet fully risen at half-past four, a golden dawn should be visible in the east. Ma Chengfeng looked at her angle, but he didn't see any mountains blocking the sun in the east? How can it be so dark?
At this moment, Chu Tianyue injected the professor with a sedative and helped him in, and the professor was much quieter, and fell on the broken bed in a daze.
"Cheng Feng? You come out, I have something to tell you! At the door, Na Xiu also ran up, and when he saw that there were outsiders in the house, he didn't dare to say anything to his lips.
Ma Chengfeng knew that something was wrong when he saw Na Xiu's panicked face, and quickly ran out. "What are you yelling at in the morning?"
Na Xiu's face was not very good-looking, and he dragged him to the corner of the courtyard and whispered: "Hmph, I wish it was early in the morning, but did you see it clearly?" Is it morning? ”
Ma Chengfeng said, are you confused? Would you like to be given a sedative as well? We've all been away for the night, you look at your watch yourself, what time is it? I found out you're a bit demented, right?
