This mountain forest has rugged paths, on both sides are luxuriant foliage, there are also a little flowers and plants, the mountains and forests are extremely quiet, and the occasional mountain wind strikes from the mountainside, blowing the dense forest in the distance.

In the middle of the jungle is the little village. There are not many families in the village, just look at the number of houses.

Halfway up the mountain, it seems that there is only one road leading to the mountain.

Along the way, Ning Meixuan was always dull and silent.

I don't know why Ning Meixuan didn't let Ning Xiaocui and Ning Hao come together, maybe it was for their study, anyway, she didn't say it, I didn't ask, according to the past, I would ask, but now I won't.

I looked at Ning Meixuan, and the closer I got to the mountain village, the more nervous Ning Meixuan became.

Although the sun was shining, the mountains and forests were still shady and breezy, even so, Ning Meixuan's forehead was also sweating like rain at the moment, wetting her long hair and close-fitting clothes.

I asked her if she was okay and if she wanted to take a break.

She shook her head and said she was fine, as long as she got it done as soon as possible.

I don't know why she was so anxious, I just followed her, I had never climbed a hill and fell behind her.

She always told me to hurry up and didn't wait for me.

A little annoyed, I rushed over and ran in front of her, leaving her behind.

I carried two duffel bags and ran for such a while, and I felt so tired that I rested for a while.

Only then did I find that I had arrived at the head of the village, and not far away there was an aunt who was not tall, with a cold appearance, and her face was full of dust and thick calluses, and she was hoeing the ground at the head of the slope with a hoe.

Ning Meixuan and I were dressed up very dazzlingly, and the aunt stared at me and Ning Meixuan with a hoe.

At this time, Ning Meixuan had already followed.

"Oops!ah......h

"Holy," I scolded when I saw the aunt's antics and couldn't help but scold. I looked around and saw nothing.

Ning Meixuan pushed her glasses and looked at me, then turned around and left.

I asked Ning Meixuan what her aunt was running, but Ning Meixuan ignored me.

No wonder the people here are so strange, it turns out to be the same as Ning Meixuan.

Walking forward again, it is relatively flat, and there are gradually more people, both young and old, and there are many middle-aged men, there are children jumping horses, middle-aged men are playing cards and gambling in groups under the mild sunshine, and the old man and the old aunt are compiling bamboo baskets.

The noise of chaos was endless.

"What's the ink? Lose the cards!"

"What is urging, but let me play a good trick. ”

"How much money can you get from this, old man, I don't have a good life!"

"My grandson is going to school, why don't you get some money!"

"Don't worry!"

"I don't have to worry about it, the baby is ten years old, I don't have to worry about it!"

******

There was a man who was very self-motivated, and he looked honest, he was not very old, but he was very dark, and there was a pile of firewood in front of him, and he was crackling there.

There was a twenty-year-old guy next to him, with a cigarette in his mouth and a snort, staring in the direction of Ning Meixuan.

When we got closer, the guy excitedly pulled the man next to him who was chopping wood and smiled at us.

When the man chopping wood raised his head to look at Ning Meixuan, he was also stunned.

The man suddenly threw down his head and hurried towards us.

Ning Meixuan probably didn't pay attention at the time, and when she saw the silly and smiling woodcutter man standing in front of her, she was obviously stunned.

The woodcutter kept laughing stupidly, and he didn't feel it, so he stared at Ning Meixuan and smiled.

The smoking man behind him looked at this side with his mouth wide open, and did not dare to come over.

I have been standing behind Ning Meixuan and watching them, at this time, suddenly an aunt hurriedly ran over, and kept shouting: "Dog left~~~ Dog left~~~"

I looked around, it was the panicked aunt I saw at the slope just now, she was so flustered just now, could it be that her dog ran away?

Unexpectedly, she kept running towards us, ran to us, and then glared angrily, and pulled the chopping wood away at once, and shouted: "Dog leftovers, you don't listen to your words." ”

I don't understand what they say, but I know what they mean.

It turned out that the woodcutter man was called Gouyu, and I couldn't help but be speechless for a while, how could someone call this name, it was too scary.

Although the dog was pulled, his head kept twisting to this side, looking at Ning Meixuan, and he kept smiling stupidly.

Gou Yu's mother saw it, and kept pointing to Gou Yu's head and scolding: "Why can't you like this thief!"

The dog scratched his head, and was then pulled away by the aunt.

The dog didn't say a word until he left, but no matter how stupid he was, I could tell that the dog liked Ning Meixuan.

Ning Meixuan frowned, looking at the people around her, they were all hiding far away, looking at Ning Meixuan, afraid that Ning Meixuan would approach them.

I don't know what's wrong, these people are too strange, it stands to reason that Ning Meixuan is so beautiful and has seen the world, so the aunt should be happy to marry such a good daughter-in-law, so how can it be like this?

But I didn't ask, and I knew now was not the time to ask that. I didn't even say anything.

Ning Meixuan looked at me, then turned around and left, all the way through the crowd, trying to walk ahead.

I hurriedly followed.

Walking further, a large and special courtyard is located on the side, far from the surrounding small houses, this large courtyard is surrounded by a stone wall, this stone wall is smooth and shiny, and even a little color, the red gate at the gate, which can be called a symbol of the mansion in ancient times, has a stone eaves.

There is no decoration in the big courtyard, but it can be seen that this family is definitely a big family here, rich and powerful.

Ning Meixuan, still holding her mother's ashes in her hand, stood in front of the gate and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while, the door opened, and an old man with a beard came out, and when the old man looked at Ning Meixuan, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then closed the door in a panic.

Next, no matter how Ning Meixuan knocked on the door, the door would not open.

I waited for a long time, and I was annoyed and confused, so I ran over and shouted, "Who is this? So arrogant? What are you doing here, what are you doing, you can tell me! Don't just worry about the pestle here, it won't solve the problem." ”

"This is the village chief's house, and my mother must get the village chief's consent if she wants to be included in the ancestral grave, and if the village chief doesn't agree, we won't have a place to live today. Ning Meixuan knocked on the door a few more times and said without turning her head.

"Then why do those people look at us as if they see ghosts? This village chief is too, scared to the point of urine. I asked.

"Actually, my mom was an outcast by my dad, so ...... That's when they saw me. Ning Meixuan said, choking up.

"Even so, then they can't do this to you, and you didn't do anything wrong?" There was a stone step next to it, and I patted Ning Meixuan to sit down.

"The custom here is like this, the rule left by the ancestors, once a woman is abandoned, she must be driven out of the village and cannot come back, and her children and grandchildren are the same, if anyone comes near or close to her, it will be unlucky. Over time, everyone thought that as long as the woman was abandoned, everyone around her would be driven away, or they would think they were going to be unlucky. So they avoided me like a plague god. No one can change this, and these habits and thoughts have been engraved in their minds. ”

"Isn't it? Some people believe this? What age is it? These people's heads are burned out, right?" I was suddenly depressed.

"It's not all their fault, it's just that they were born in this unfortunate place. You see these people, they have never seen the big world, they have never been to the big city, so they don't know what to do, they can only chop some firewood and sell it, you see those middle-aged uncles, all idle and have nothing to do to play cards, they do this every day. ”

"Then you can also go to the big city to work, there will always be a way out. "I don't know why I'm so passionate and self-motivated to outsiders.

"It's a long way from the big cities, and these people can't go with their families. There are also many people who can't stand this kind of hard life, so there are only so many people left here, and they are reluctant to go here. Ning Meixuan looked into the distance.

I found that Ning Meixuan is not so bad, it is also possible that I am now standing on the same line with her, and I am also trapped here, I must be concentric, as the least friend, I also want to relate to her: "You understand them so well, but they won't understand your affection, isn't this village chief also this attitude!"

"Then they are helpless, I understand them, I believe there will always be a way!" Ning Meixuan said.

"You're so kind, kinder than me, is there a way for you to be like this?" I snorted.

"I have a way!" He Yulu said, looking at me.

"What's the way?" I looked at Ning Meixuan expectantly, if there is a way, we can leave this bird place as soon as possible.

"It's just ......" Ning Meixuan suddenly lowered her head and snapped her fingers and said.

"Just what? You're done.......! "I'm a little anxious.

"I need your help!" Ning Meixuan suddenly looked up at me.
