Chapter Fifty-Four: The Village of Mystery adds a change to the clear and hidden place
Faced with my question, Ling Ruxue hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I've been here, and I have to come once every five years, not only me, but also the other three people from the village."
Been here? Do you want to come every five years? As far as I know, Ling Ruxue is 2 years older than the moon, and today is 24 years old, if you count from when she was a child, then she hasn't been to this village 4 times?
Even if I don't show up, she will come to this village next year? What kind of secrets are hidden between these villages? But this Black Rock Miao Village is obviously a devil's village known for its evil?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Ling Ruxue, Heiyan Miao Village is such an evil village, why do you come here again and again?" Can you tolerate something bad happening right under your nose and not stop anything? You're so cold? β
In the face of my question, Ling Ruxue just looked at me very calmly, unusually calmly, until she saw that I was uncomfortable, she said: "You, really a willful and impulsive man, no, it should be a boy." (You can find this site)"
What do you mean? Seems to know me well? I was annoyed in my heart, what she meant by this was that I was naΓ―ve, but I could be naΓ―ve in front of anyone, but I didn't want her to think so, not to mention that I was 26 years old.
I said: "Ling Ruxue, don't divert the topic, I'm talking about the big question of right and wrong, what are you doing on me?" This is not willfulness, nor impulsiveness, but my master said that those of us who have inherited different things should have a great righteousness in our hearts! β
"Oh? Is it? A hint of impatience flashed on Ling Ruxue's face before she said, "Do you know what we didn't do?" β
I was stunned, yes, how much can I know? When I think about this, I feel a little decadent, am I really naΓ―ve? Under impulse, there will be no more beating around the bush?
"Remember my words, no matter what you see, don't ask more, say more, and talk about everything when you get to Heiyan Miao Village." Ling Ruxue didn't seem to want to say anything to me anymore, turned around and walked to the front, and walked straight towards the village, and I had mixed feelings in my heart, the more I wanted to behave in front of this girl, the more clumsy I became.
But now is not the time to think about this at all, let go of Hui Gen'er, wake him up, and then I led Hui Gen'er, who was still a little dazed, to follow Ling Ruxue's footsteps.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Walking into this small village, the first feeling I had about this place was that I was poor, very poor!
Most of the houses here are still grass houses made of mud and thatch, no matter how bad they are, there are no grass houses, they are directly bark houses, and there are leaks on the roof, so they directly cover a piece of plastic sheeting, press it with stones, and when the wind blows, the plastic sheet whirring, even standing outside, I can feel the appearance of wind and rain leaking on all sides inside.
I haven't seen such a poor place anywhere else, maybe my imagination is poor, it's really hard for me to imagine that in the 90s, there were still such villages in China, which was developing rapidly.
Is it because of the geography of the closure? When I saw the people in this village wearing dirty clothes, even unclothed, I couldn't help but feel very emotional, and I couldn't help but find the reason.
But soon, I found a strange thing, that is, the people in this village seem to be lazy, Ruxue and I walked into this village, walked through most of the village, and didn't even see a single person working.
The villagers were either crouching at the base of the wall and doing nothing, or they were swaying along the dirt roads in their dirty clothes.
And I also found that this village, there is not no land outside the village, and these fields are also crookedly planted with grain and vegetables that are about to be flooded by weeds, indicating that they are still farmers who make a living from farming, but this field is obviously neglected.
Could it be that they really live every day like this? Swinging? Or crouch at the base of the wall in a daze?
Undoubtedly, there is a feeling of laziness and decadence in this village, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than the dead village of infinite reincarnation that I have seen before, after all, there is still hope for the destruction of infinite reincarnation, and this atmosphere in this village is undoubtedly a kind of despair.
What kind of desperation is it? It's those days that are like that, nothing changes, lifeless despair.
I don't want to believe this fact, because in my impression, the peasants are all industrious, whether they are poor or not, it can't change their hard work, I can't help but ask Ling Ruxue: "Is this village all hunting for a living?" β
"It's not." Ling Ruxue's answer was very simple, and she didn't explain anything, which felt like it was almost suffocating me.
But I can't ask more, because when I entered the village in the morning, Ling Ruxue told me that no matter what weird things you see, don't ask more, let alone say more.
The villagers weren't the slightest bit curious about our arrival, and I could hardly imagine a closed village with people coming often! Because only in villages where strangers often appear, people will not be surprised.
In the relatively isolated villages, there are always curious outsiders, including my hometown, when a city person came, the villagers always had to go to watch.
But will people come to this village often? Surely not, even if you rush to that difficult road, it is impossible!
So why do the people of this village behave like this? I saw their expressions, their eyes, all like a pool of stagnant water, undisturbed, and that feeling of depression and despair flooded my heart again.
It's already afternoon, and it's unrealistic for the three of us to go to the next village, and tonight is destined to stay in this village, but in the face of such villagers, I really don't want to stay here.
In frustration, I pulled out a cigarette, and before I could light it, I noticed a villager who had been sitting under a big tree napping and walking towards me.
He walked up to me, smiled, showed a mouthful of yellow and black teeth, and said to me very directly: "Give me a few cigarettes to smoke." β
I frowned slightly, not because I hated this middle-aged man for being dirty, but because I had never met such a straightforward stranger who asked for something.
Ling Ruxue was very calm, as if she had known about such a situation for a long time.
As for Hui Gen'er, he has no concept of human sophistication, and when others ask him for things, there are only two choices that he is willing to give and whether he is willing to give, and he will not think too much.
I'm a person who doesn't say no, looking at this middle-aged man, or an old man, I think a few cigarettes are okay, so I gave him the remaining half a pack, he took the cigarette, smiled, didn't say thank you, turned around and left.
I couldn't help but stop him, after all, I was going to stay here tonight, I asked: "Uncle, we are passing by here, we want to stay here tonight, do you know which family here is convenient for the night?" β
The man was sniffing the cigarette greedily, and when he heard me ask, he turned around and said to me in a strange way, "Who do you call uncle?" β
I was stunned, is there anyone else here? However, the rural people are somewhat old, and I don't think anyone wants to be called an old man by others, so I scratched my head embarrassedly and shouted: "Uncle, I"
"What's the matter with you? It's an uncle and an uncle? I'm only 28 years old, cough, cough, how did I become an uncle, an uncle? The man said unceremoniously, but he didn't seem to be in good health, and he kept coughing as he spoke.
28 years old? I looked at the person in front of me in a daze, I couldn't believe that a 28-year-old, only two years older than me, would age like this!
I wanted to ask something, but I saw Ruxue gently shaking her head at me, and I could only keep my mouth shut, not knowing what to say next.
The man didn't care, waved his hand, and said, "You want to spend the night, don't you?" My family can let you live for 50 yuan, add 10 yuan for dinner, and pay back 10 yuan if you want to eat meat. β
I think it's amazing that such a remote village, such a lazy villager, can have such a concept of money? Even if they have money, where will they spend it? And it can open its mouth like this, you know, in 93, fifty yuan is definitely not a small amount for a farmer.
Also, just like them, there is meat to eat?
I have more and more questions about this village, and I want to find out.
Depending on the situation, I guess there is no other choice, and I still have some money, so in the face of this villager who opened his mouth to me, I said, "Yes, you can lead the way." β
A hint of smugness flashed across the villager's face, and he led the three of us to his house.
