The village is really poor, the whole village does not even have a blue-tiled house, and the open space outside every house is lit on a fire, and the whole family sits around the fire and chats, tying shoe mats.

It's about being poor, and the problems of poverty and laziness are gathered on the body, and they are not so positive about the arrival of the three people in Tangxi, only a few families who are a little money-minded look at the three people from other villages, pull out a smile and say: "Come here, come here, our things are good." ”

Su Yu'er and Tangxi listened, the little daughter-in-law hurriedly caught up, there were a lot of peanuts in the dustpan in her hand, she pinched a handful to Tangxi and said: "You are here for the winter festival, no one knows how to play, come to my house, our family is cheap, the second boy in the family will take you to make sure to play." ”

This daughter-in-law pointed to a little boy in the yard who was playing with a spinning top, the little boy had a tiger head and a tiger brain, and a small child was pierced at the back of his neck, which seemed to be very favored at home.

Tangxi is different from Su Yuer, Su Yuer's beauty is too charming, which will inevitably make the same sex a little wary, but Tangxi's beauty is an ungrown girl, with a pretty face, and her hair is shortened.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Okay, it just so happens that we don't know how to play, how much does it cost for you to lead the way?"

The daughter-in-law saw that the matter was done, of course she was very happy, she followed her mother to work in the county when she was a child, and her vision was broader than that of the original villagers, and she did not lack any food, and she could not earn money on weekdays, and she had no bottom in her heart: "Hey, that's not simple, just give one hundred and fifty for this money." ”

She saw the dress of Tangxi and Su Yuer, such a good-looking dress must be a rich little fat sheep, a pair of eyes looked at Su Yuer and the two of them expectantly, Tangxi took out a hundred yuan from the bag: "Then let's make it up, I want to hear some little stories, I don't know if you want to tell it?"

The daughter-in-law looked at the small handbag, as if she had seen a cornucopia, and she nodded: "You young ladies are really idle, you have come here to listen to the story, Cheng, I will tell you any story." ”

While talking, the daughter-in-law led him into the house: "Come and sit first, it's okay in the yard, the light in the house is a little darker." ”

The house she said was actually a small hall, and in order to survive the winter, the windows of the house were fixed with wooden boards, and there was a small stove in the hall with porridge boiling in the pot, and the fire in the stove faintly warmed the whole room.

Tangxi and they naturally chose to go into the house to chat, and after they sat down, the daughter-in-law poured them a cup of hot water, although they didn't put anything, but Captain Hu still drank two or three cups after a while: "This winter festival is really cold, how can you go out to eat together, isn't it good in the house." ”

The daughter-in-law smiled and did not shy away from it: "How many meat dishes can you eat at home? If everyone eats together, there will be more meat dishes, and the children can also mix some sugar and sweet mouths." ”

Tang Xi warmed his hands while holding the cup, and began to knock on the side and asked, "Is there any activity in the winter festival?" ”

The daughter-in-law poked the firewood in the stove and said with a smile: "What kind of activities can be done in such a poor place, maybe it is to light a bonfire in the tower, and the children will go to build a snowman." ”

Tangxi and Su Yu'er nodded, Captain Hu looked at the two of them seriously and didn't speak anymore, and the three of them listened carefully to the daughter-in-law: "Our village was really poor before, especially when it was invaded by devils, all the food was robbed by them, and the strength of the labor force was either killed or injured and unable to do anything." ”

Captain Hu's eyes looked at the heat coming out of the cup, and there was no longer the ruffian looking for trouble on his face, he moved his lips and finally sighed, and his daughter-in-law said: "During that time, people had no food, and because of the bloodbath, everyone was terrified, the house was almost destroyed, and it was cold everywhere, so they gathered on the open space. Pile all the firewood together and burn it to keep warm. Every family doesn't have any food, so they eat it together when they boil it separately and make it water, and they can feel a little bit of food, and we eat it as a staple food without rice and noodles. ”

There is also this experience, Su Yuer was unmoved, but Tangxi was a little uncomfortable, she beckoned to the little boy and gave him a piece of pastry, the little boy was happy like something: "Hey, which little mongrel usually eats pastry." ”

Su Yu'er's eyes suddenly became sharp, she just wanted to ask something when Tang Xi grabbed her hand, Tang Xi's eyes were firmly fixed on her daughter-in-law's face, she looked at the other party's flashing heart, and then said: "Is the little bastard a blue-eyed child, we still want to come to him today." ”

Su Yu'er also understood that she was a little impulsive for a while, calmed down and asked the little boy with a smile: "That kid took our wages, but didn't carry firewood for us, do you know where he is?"

Su Yu'er's beauty is big and small for men, and the little boy was a little red when she laughed at her, and said with a stumbling face: "That little bastard is really not a good thing, he deserves it..."

Before he finished speaking, his daughter-in-law threw a firewood over, and said with a glaring eye: "Is it all nonsense that you don't have a door to eat in order to cheat candy?" Hang out and play. ”

The boy shook, glanced at Su Yu'er pitifully, and then reluctantly walked out, and the daughter-in-law said: "You can't believe the child's words, it is estimated that the child outside bought a snack, so he wanted to cheat and eat." ”

Su Yu'er was almost sure that the only child was killed, she was a little angry, but she couldn't do anything without Tang Xi's order, Tang Xi shook his head and took out two big yellow croakers and two small yellow croakers from his handbag.

The four gold bars were placed on the lame small round table, and the daughter-in-law's eyes shook a little, and even her voice trembled a little: "You... What are you doing here... Collect it quickly, collect it quickly, and the wealth will not be exposed. ”

Tang Xi gently pressed the back of her hand, and said in a soft tone: "We really want to find a blue-eyed child, because the salary we give is not quite a lot, but it is not very comfortable to give money without doing things, and I want to ask him clearly." ”

The daughter-in-law couldn't hide it, nodded quickly and said, "This... Why is there so much money.." Her eyes were almost glued to the bars of gold.

Tang Xi continued: "If we can tell us where the little boy is, we will give you this gold bar, and if we can take us to meet him, we will recommend you a good job." ”

Speaking of this, Su Yu'er also spoke up: "What's the matter, could it be that this kid lied to us from the beginning, and he doesn't live in this village at all?"

The daughter-in-law swallowed her saliva, and Captain Hu interjected in a timely manner: "Yes, are you hiding something, I have been a policeman for many years, and I can see at a glance that you are weak-hearted." ”

The daughter-in-law waved her hand and listened to Captain Hu say: "If you stay here, your son can only live like this in the future, you can't save this gold in your life, but as long as you say it, you will have money, and another job can make your son study and become an apprentice, or even a soldier." He has a myriad of prospects. ”

The daughter-in-law's swinging hand stiffened, and she kept this position, her breathing was a little rapid, and after a while she said, "If I really said... The money is mine.."

The little boy outside was puffing up the top, the sound seemed to be smashed into his mother's heart, Tangxi nodded, and the daughter-in-law's hand took the gold bar in his arms: "I said. I said this, you all keep quiet, I'll take my son out first. I don't want you to introduce you to work, can you give me one more gold bar? ”

Tang Xi frowned, and before she refused, Su Yu'er took out a gold bar from her bag and gave it to her: "Say, after you finish speaking, you can leave at any time." ”

The daughter-in-law swallowed her saliva and put the gold bars in it, if it weren't for the policeman who was with them, she really wanted to rob the two girls, but now it seems that she didn't dare, she felt that these two people must be in a high position.

Tang Xi didn't say anything, and the daughter-in-law said, "That little bastard has been made into a living sacrifice soup." ”

This sentence made Su Yu'er stand up suddenly, the water in the water cup knocked over the ground, and the daughter-in-law's face was cowardly: "You won't arrest me, this boy soup, we have been like this from ancient times to the present, you can't control it, and you have no evidence, if you arrest me, I will say that you forcibly forced me to talk nonsense." ”

Thanks to this daughter-in-law's strong desire to survive, she complained for a while, Tangxi nodded: "You go, we don't care about you, take you and your son away." ”

The daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a wry smile: "You can use everything in this house, I will take my son away first, you..." It's still fun. ”

By the time the daughter-in-law went back to pack her things, Su Yu'er's ants had already returned, and she was in a mood of anger and anger now, Tang Xi nodded and let her let go.

Su Yu'er waved her hand, and the other ants in the cave, whether they were carnivorous or vegetarians, crawled out, and spent the winter sacrifice?

As soon as the ants dispersed, there was a wolf howl from the mountain, and several men in the village were carrying a small clay pot, and in the jar was a child's white bones, which had been boiled several times, and now smelled of some meat, and some bones could not resist being chewed.

They had followed the ancient precept to take the sacrifices to the valley and throw them away, but as soon as they went up the mountain, they encountered a group of wolves surrounding the road, and these people were so frightened that they did not dare to move when they saw these formations.
