The open space in the square in the middle of the village was full of people at the moment, and I saw Ning Meixuan busy in the crowd from a distance.

A shed was set up on the field, crowded with people, so it was not lively, and the village chief stood in the center shouting and commanding.

I wondered why it had suddenly become so lively, so I walked over.

Ning Meixuan saw me walk over, wiping the sweat from her forehead while asking me why I ran out.

I said come out and see, and I asked her what was going on.

Ning Meixuan said that this is a custom in the village, and when someone dies in the village, a banquet will be held to pay tribute to the ancestors, so that the ancestors will bless us. Ning Meixuan said that she didn't do it when her father died, and this time she made up for it together.

I wonder if there is still this custom.

Ning Meixuan did not speak.

In the center of the greenhouse, there are several tables that form a large table, on which are placed many things, which should be sacrificial objects, including pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and many fruits.

This village is very poor, not to mention cars, not even bicycles, not to mention family conditions, they are all poor, the most precious should be these raised poultry, these things should be raised by them for a long time, like that big pig, at least two years to grow so big.

I couldn't help but feel depressed about the behavior of this group of people, the lack of security for their own lives, and the struggle to trust these ridiculous superstitious customs.

But I'm a calm person, and I'm not going to stop them, these thoughts may have been ingrained in their minds, and if I messed with them, I guess I'd be eliminated as an outlaw.

I can only watch in silence as these people do this, and they are to blame for it.

On the other side I felt a gaze keep on our side, and I looked over and noticed the dogs left in the crowd.

He was staring at me, I looked at Ning Meixuan and understood.

At this moment, the dog is still carrying his head, and he is still crackling there to chop wood.

I looked at the dog leftover, but suddenly felt sad for him, the same age as me, with a great future, and a good time, but I don't fight, just nest here to waste time.

And I need time, I need God's favor, I want to continue to live, but I can't, it's ironic.

In the distance, there was only the sound of swaying branches, and it was pitch black around, and I couldn't find a little light, and I suddenly missed the night in H City, which was so beautiful and so prosperous.

The silence here makes me feel uneasy, and the restlessness always makes me can't help but miss He Yulu.

I stepped aside, sat down under the tree, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly, staring at the endless night.

I exhaled smoke and suddenly felt a person sitting next to me.

I took advantage of the light and saw him, it was the dog leftover.

He kept his head down, holding a withered yellow leaf in his hand, tearing it.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to the dog.

Unexpectedly, the dog struck my hand hard, and the smoke flew out.

I wondered, could I have done something wrong?

I thought about what I hadn't done, and I looked at the dog.

Looking at the dog leftovers, I thought of the people in the prosperous world in the big cities, in contrast, although the dog leftovers have no ability, but at least they should be a simple person, and they are more shy than my character.

"If you let me know.... You... Bullied Xuanxuan, I won't ...... The people of our village will not let you go!"

Gou Yu said suddenly, stood up violently after speaking, and walked away violently.

I smiled wryly.

Gou Yu should be interesting to Ning Meixuan, there is nothing wrong with Gou Yu, the fault is that he was born here.

It was here that his family was forged, and his family made his character, and his character determined his life.

In such a short period of time, I found that there are many men in this village who are interested in Ning Meixuan, the smaller smoking man, and the older villagers, who are a few years older than Gou Yu.

But I don't feel like they have any dog leftovers attachment, and I guessed it from the time I first came to this village and saw the dog leftovers fucking.

However, the world is like this, only the incomplete can be so beautiful.

Some things are already predestined, even if you know it, you can't change it, you can only watch him slowly go away.

I looked at Ning Meixuan, at this moment, Ning Meixuan was washing vegetables with a group of aunts, and she was laughing from time to time.

The attitude of these people during the day was so resistant, but now it is a different attitude, I can't see through it.

I suddenly realized that everything here was so strange, and it had always been so strange.

Maybe there are people in some places who are destined to become strangers.

This maybe, in their opinion, is just normal life.

However, in my opinion, it is so strange.

I slowly stood up, avoided the crowd, and slowly walked back.

Back in that shabby house, I was lying in bed.

Thinking about my own life, I always liked to think about life in the past, because it could motivate me, motivate me to understand life, to struggle.

But now I don't want to think about it, but I keep thinking about it in my head.

It was late at night, and I lay in bed, smoked a few cigarettes, but couldn't sleep.

I forced myself to sleep, I don't know how long it was, I seemed to see He Yulu, she smiled at me, and I smiled at her.

He Yulu shouted my name, I also called her name, I ran over and took her hand, a burst of warmth hit, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

I went to wash my face and saw that there was no one in Ning Meixuan's room.

I don't know if Ning Meixuan came back yesterday, anyway, I can't see her now.

After I washed up, I walked out the door to get some fresh air.

Suddenly, I found Ning Meixuan sitting on the side, looking into the distance.

I went and called her twice, and found that she was distracted.

I asked her if she was okay and how she was sitting outside.

She said it was okay and asked me if I slept well.

I said it was fine. I looked at her, and she seemed to be a little bad, her face was a little pale, and there were a little dark circles under her eyes, and I asked her what was wrong.

Ning Meixuan said that she might have been tired yesterday.

I didn't think much of it at the time, I just told her to pay attention to her body.

Then Ning Meixuan said, let's go.

I asked her where she was going, and she didn't say anything, just left.

I feel that Ning Meixuan doesn't seem to be quite right today, and I can't say where it is.

I hurriedly followed Ning Meixuan.

It's still early, and there are already a lot of people busy in the village square.

I don't know when two earthen pots were woven next to the greenhouse, and something was boiling in them. The table next to it is full of dazzling dishes, although they are not expensive dishes, but in this remote mountain village, they are definitely delicious.

On the table next to him, I don't know where I got firecrackers, as well as dead coins, paper people, jars, bowls, wine, and big red barrels......

On the other side, there were more than a dozen tables, and there were already many people sitting on the tables.

At this time, the village chief came over and said to me, "Wait for Ha Kai to serve the food." ”

"What?" I looked at Ning Meixuan suspiciously.

"I was about to tell you, this is also our custom here, when someone in the village dies, everyone in the village needs to be feasted, and they are considered guests. And the descendants of the deceased want to serve these people, and this time I need you and me to serve these people. Ning Meixuan said.

"I'm grass, what are you doing to tell me in advance! Even if you treat me as a temporary worker, you can't say nothing! What do you think of me!" I don't know why I'm suddenly angry, in my heart I think Ning Meixuan has never cared about me, even as a friend, she didn't tell me anything.

"I beg you, after today, I will never trouble you again. Ning Meixuan's face was expressionless.

I saw that Ning Meixuan's face was a little pale, and she didn't get angry anymore, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said forget it.

After a while, the village chief handed me and Ning Meixuan a tray, which was the kind of tray used in the hotel to serve food, I knew.

Then the village chief told me how to do it, and after explaining, he asked me to start serving the food.

There are only two people doing the work, Ning Meixuan and me, and the people in this village have basically arrived, all sitting at the table over there, waiting to eat.

Then I started working, but I secretly cursed in my heart, I was still hungry, why don't you let me eat something first.

I don't know how many times I ran, my head was dizzy back and forth, and my stomach was getting hungrier and hungrier.

I looked at Ning Meixuan's pale face, and the slower she worked, so I ran over to help, after all, I am also a big man, and it would be too embarrassing if I couldn't do as well as a woman.

I don't know how long it took, smelling the tempting food, hungry, working, and finally waiting for these people to finish eating.

As soon as I was done, before I could rest, the village chief ran over again.

The village chief held a gray round basin and handed it to me for me to hold and follow him.

Then the village chief took me to the dilapidated house of Ning Meixuan's family, and then found a shovel, scooped up a large slope of soil, and put it in the basin in my arms.

I suddenly felt the pressure on this basin suddenly increase, and I couldn't hold it anymore.

Then the chief of the village pointed to the hillside behind the village and said to send this there, where there is a cemetery, and sprinkle it there.

Then the village chief left, and I struggled to hold the pot full of soil and walked step by step.

What used to be easy to pick up, now I'm feeling more and more struggling.

By the time I reached this hill, I was sweating profusely and lying down tired.

I poured out the earth, threw the basin aside, and sat aside.

I felt more and more that the people in this village were strange, I didn't even eat when I was grass, and I didn't even eat when I worked, so I thought it was better to finish my work and leave quickly.

I looked around and saw small mounds everywhere, and in the innermost, in the center there was a one-meter-high house-like building with a temple written on it.

In front of the temple there are several plates with meat, fruit, wine, and incense jars......

At the outermost, outside these mounds, there is a large square pit.

There was nothing around, and I remembered the village chief's words again, and said to go back as soon as I was done.

Then I kept walking back.
