The village in the distance is an ordinary village in a deep mountain depression, with weeds growing around the low tile-roofed houses, dogs barking, cooking smoke and dim lights.
The village should be quite old. The tile-roofed houses are dilapidated and low. There are only two or three houses with more than two floors. There are cobwebs hanging on the eaves and bird nests. It looks very poor.
In this village, the annual GDP of the whole village may not be as much as that of a family in the city.
"Tread, tread, tread" the three walked into the village stepping on branches and rotten leaves. At this point, basically every household was lighting a fire for cooking, and most of the farmers' roofs were emitting smoke.
"Wow, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof" seemed to have heard that someone had arrived, and the dogs of two families began to bark wildly, barking heart-piercingly.
Creaking, creaking, the courtyard door of one of the farmhouses was pushed open, and an old man in his seventies and eighties bent over and came out slowly with a hookah, his cloudy eyes glanced at the three of them. Expressionless.
"Hey, I regret it. I really shouldn't get off the expressway and spend the night in the service area. Why do I live in this place?" The old man who came out was dressed in a black shirt with wide legs underneath. The coarse cloth trousers, bare feet without shoes, both feet were covered with black mud, and the old man showed his big yellow teeth when he slurped his hookah.
It's really not that I look down on the farmers here, just looking at this mental outlook makes you feel a little nauseated at a glance, and the senses are really not good.
"Is it too late to go back now?" Yang Fei'er asked with eyes begging while holding Wang Xuanzhen's hand.
Xiang Que and Fatty Wang are alright, they can deal with any place they want for a night, but Sister Feier, a charming girl, is a bit difficult.
Xiang Que scratched his nose, walked up to the old man with a dry smile and asked with a smile: "Master, can you find a place to stay overnight when you pass by the mountains? You can give me money."
Wang Xuanzhen murmured next to Xiang Que's ear: "Brother, live here? If I really live in that house, I won't dare to make a big movement while panting. I'm really afraid that his house will be blown down. Let's change it, okay? of?"
"Deal with it, deal with it, why are you picking and choosing when you are not familiar with the place, it would be nice to have a place to sleep"
"Bada, Bata" the old man was wrapped in a hookah and didn't say a word. He stretched out a withered finger and gestured to the east, then turned around and closed the courtyard door again with a "squeak".
"The people in this place don't seem to be very hospitable, a little less enthusiastic." Wang Xuanzhen turned his head and glanced to the east. Not far in front of him was a decent looking house, one of the few two-story houses in the village. building.
"The old man means that if we want to stay overnight, which one should we go to?" As far as the old man's house is concerned, it is also a problem for the three of them to live there. The best thing about this house is that the two pieces of wood on the courtyard door look relatively regular. , the earth houses in the courtyard are a bit crumbling.
Xiang Que said: "The treatment should be regarded as relatively good in the whole village, let's go, let's go, just go to that house"
"Did you two not notice that the old man smoking just now has darker eye sockets?" Yang Fei'er shrank her head and whispered behind Wang Xuanzhen.
"I'm not in good health when I'm old, it's not good enough," Fatty Wang said casually.
Xiang Que paused, frowned and recalled for a while, the old man's eye sockets seemed to be darker, but he was focused on talking to the other party and didn't stare at his face at all. Now that I want to think about it, the old man not only It is slightly dark, and the eye sockets are sunken.
Xiang Que looked back at the old man's house, it was normal.
A few minutes later, the three of them walked to the small two-story building at the front of the alley and "boom, boom, boom" reached out and knocked on the gate. After a while, someone in the yard answered.
"Who is it?" Someone from the courtyard stepped out and opened the courtyard door. A middle-aged man in his forties came out, with short hair and wearing an old Chinese tunic suit.
"You are" The middle-aged man looked at the three of them in a daze.
Xiang Que and Fatty Wang squeezed out a smile at the same time, and said, "Uncle, we just got off the highway and drove too far. We didn't find a place to sleep. We just walked to the village. Can we stay overnight?"
The middle-aged man frowned and seemed a little displeased, Wang Xuanzhen took out his wallet and said, "Uncle, just take a nap and leave early tomorrow morning, if it's convenient, you can get us something to eat, here The money will be used as the cost of accommodation, please take care of it.¡±
Wang Xuanzhen took out five or six hundred yuan and stuffed it into the other party's hand without even looking at it. Unexpectedly, the other party pushed it back and said in a rather embarrassed tone: "It's okay to live, but it's dark in our village at night. It is not very peaceful if there are animals running around, but if you run into people, you will be hurt?Yes, it¡¯s okay if you live here, but you can¡¯t go out after turning off the lights, just stay in the house obediently.¡±
Xiang Que hummed, nodded and said, "We've been tired all day, and we also want to rest early. We'll go to bed right after we eat, and we'll be leaving tomorrow at five or six o'clock."
"Hey, okay, okay, come in." The middle-aged man opened the courtyard door and let the three of them in.
"Uncle, what's your surname?" Xiang Que asked after following him.
"My surname is Wang Jinbo. I am the village party secretary here. This village is called Maruo Village. It is an old village for hundreds of years." Wang Zhishu led them through the yard and into the building. A man about his age The middle-aged father and daughter greeted them from the house, and they were obviously taken aback when they saw the three of them.
"This is my wife, a country woman who has never seen the world, I will ask her to prepare some food for you soon"
Xiang Que, Wang Xuanzhen and Yang Feier sat in the living room, while Wang Jinbo was dragged out by his wife.
"Did you two see it again?" Yang Fei'er asked with her head lowered and her voice pressed.
"The eye sockets" Xiang Que and Wang Xuanzhen looked at each other, and said at the same time: "The eye sockets of these two are also a bit dark."
"This village" Yang Fei'er bit her lip and looked a little nervous.
Xiang Que took out a cigarette, lit one and said nonchalantly: "Sisters, if this village is not clean, I can find it when I come in. Don't think too much about it. Maybe the people here are more hardworking, and they get up early when they are late. My eye sockets are dark from work, which is normal.¡±
Wang Xuanzhen squinted his eyes and asked: "Working hard, how can you be so poor? Look at the cabinet in the house of the village secretary, it is older than the three of us combined. How poor is this? Let me tell you that it is Guangzhou The village party secretary over there is worth eight figures, but no matter how poor you are here, you can¡¯t get the village cadres, right? Look at this family, it¡¯s so poor.¡±
"That's the problem of soil and water. The black eye sockets may be a characteristic of people here. You are like the people in Africa. There is no white place on the whole body except teeth."
Wang Xuanzhen said quite dumbfounded: "If you explain it like this, then I will accept it."
