Chapter 70: Brother, Play with Me in the Mud!
Chen Wenyao jumped several meters away, looked at the old lady in horror, and said, "Are you a human or a ghost?!"
The old lady had a strange expression on her face and said, "Why are you a young cub so shocked, I saw you standing here stunned, so I kindly came over and asked, why are you still scolding the old woman and me." β
"Am I in a daze here?" asked Chen Wenyao suspiciously.
The old lady smiled and said, "In a daze, isn't it just in a daze." When you enter the village, you stand here in a daze. The old woman shouted that you didn't respond for a long time, and thought something had happened to you. β
Chen Wenyao was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "You said that I was here in a daze as soon as I entered the village? I talked to you just now, don't you remember?"
The old lady glanced at Chen Wenyao with disgust and said, "Although I am old, my old wife, my memory is not as bad as that. When did the old woman talk to you? β
Chen Wenyao couldn't react a little, and said sneeringly: "You said, you also said that your girlfriend's name is Fang Fei, and you have to show me your birth certificate." β
"Nonsense. My wife's surname is Luo, when did I have the surname Fang family, and my husband's family is also surnamed Gu. The old lady was obviously a little dissatisfied with Chen Wenyao's nonsense, and scolded and said, "You little foreign dolls, you just like to talk nonsense." β
Chen Wenyao couldn't figure out what was going on, but he saw that the old lady was really angry, so he had to apologize: "What, I was wrong." Don't be angry, grandma. β
The old lady was so angry that she almost wanted to pull out her crutches to hit Chen Wenyao: "You little doll has no good eyes, this is a curse on my wife and son not to enter the ancestral grave of the ancient family." β
Chen Wenyao was speechless, how could I mean this.
"Grandma, I want to ask you about something. Chen Wenyao dodged a few times, and when he saw that the old lady had no strength to fight, he took the opportunity to ask again.
The old lady gasped and scolded, "Don't tell you little doll, the old woman will go back to cook." β
Chen Wenyao took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and sure enough, it was already dinner, and he seemed to have some food, and the snacks he bought were finished when he was in the sky.
Wait, I'll just say what's wrong! A flash of thought flashed in Chen Wenyao's mind, and he immediately realized how the strange thing came from when he entered the village.
It is almost understandable that not many people in the village came out to walk near the time of the meal, but it is strange that not a single household smokes from the cooking, let alone the sound of frying pots.
Don't the whole village eat?!
Or is there no one in this village at all?!
This is not right, at least before entering the village, the locusts have already met three people, one is an old man driving a tractor, one is a child playing with mud at the entrance of the village, and the other is this strange old lady.
Are these three people in the village?
Where are the other pleasures?!
Chen Wenyao found a place on higher ground in the village, and then scanned the whole village, and indeed did not see any smoke or anything, nor did he see any other figures.
What kind of village is this? Fang Fei is really from this village? Chen Wenyao's mind was full of doubts, and he couldn't answer them.
What's more, if Fang Fei is not found, where will he spend the night at night? Chen Wenyao watched that it was getting late and late, and he felt anxious in his heart, did he really want to go to that old man and spend three hundred to stay overnight?!
"The sun is setting, go back to your house, yo heyβ"
At this time, a burst of singing suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village, and Chen Wenyao looked at it, but a man in his forties was carrying a handful of firewood and was coming to the village.
Great, finally someone came. Chen Wenyao immediately jumped off the high ground and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
"This uncle!" Chen Wenyao shouted at the young man as he ran.
The middle-aged man looked like he was in his early forties, but his hairline was already a little anxious, and he was wearing an old-fashioned military uniform that had been grayed out.
Chen Wenyao said: "I came from outside, I came to find a classmate, but this village is a bit ......."
"Oh, you're trying to ask why there's no one in the village. The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Something happened to our village chief and he was sent to the county hospital, and the people in the village followed to help." β
It turns out that this is the case, it's okay, it's okay, it's not a ghost village. Chen Wenyao asked again: "Uncle, are you back?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I didn't go, I watched the forest from the forest farm behind." Go back to the village and get some quilts or something. β
Chen Wenyao nodded, and asked again, "Uncle, can I ask you about someone?"
The middle-aged man walked towards the village and said with a smile: "Okay, you ask." β
Chen Wenyao said: "I have a classmate, a woman, I heard that it is from this village, I want to make sure." β
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Wenyao with a look of surprise and said, "You're not here to find a Fei girl, are you?" β
"Fei girl?" Chen Wenyao's eyes lit up and said, "Is it called Fang Fei?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's called Fang Fei, she is the daughter of our village chief, and now she is taking care of her father in the county hospital." β
"In the county hospital?" Chen Wenyao's mind was galloping again, and he knew what I was doing in this wild village.
"That's right. The middle-aged man looked at Chen Wenyao and said, "You are her classmate, what are you doing with her?"
Chen Wenyao said: "I am her...... Her classmates heard that there was something going on at home, so they came to inquire about the situation on behalf of the school. β
"That's good, schools in big cities are different!" The middle-aged man laughed, patted Chen Wenyao's shoulder, and said, "You have to persuade Fang Fei well, she is too stubborn and doesn't want to drag others down." Isn't it nonsense to say that she wants to drop out of school and go home to take care of her father? How can a college student like her drop out of school after decades of being born in our village? The ancestors knew that they were not at ease. β
Chen Wenyao just nodded and coped, and then asked, "That uncle, I came to find her on purpose, since she is in the county seat, can you send me out?"
"Gee, that's not going to work. The middle-aged man thought for a while, finally shook his head, and said, "First, I don't have time, and second, it's too late." You don't know that this old forest is always haunted by strange things at night. A few days ago, I was eaten by wild beasts while walking at night. To be on the safe side, you might as well spend the night here. β
Chen Wenyao spread his hands and said, "But I don't know anyone here, how can I spend the night?"
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "If you don't dislike it, just spend the night at my house, and my wife is keeping vigil at home." β
When Chen Wenyao heard this, he immediately remembered the strange old lady, and shook his head directly: "Then, forget it." β
The middle-aged man seemed to remember something, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever met my old lady?" It's okay, people are old, and there are always some things that the gods are chattering, don't take it to heart. β
Chen Wenyao thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go to the forest farm with you to sleep." β
The middle-aged man shook his head like a wave drum and said, "It's far away there, and it's not safe." β
Chen Wenyao said: "I'm not afraid. I went with him, didn't my uncle have a companion, so he wouldn't be bored. β
The middle-aged man was obviously moved, to be honest, guarding the forest farm is a very tiring thing, and the most unbearable thing is not to see anyone for a few months, and there is no one to speak.
"That's okay!" said the middle-aged man, "wait until I put down the firewood and get some futon before leaving." β
Chen Wenyao stood in place and said, "Then I'll wait for you here." β
The middle-aged man laughed, carried the firewood and walked to the house with the lights on, and sure enough, it was the old lady's house.
Chen Wenyao squatted on the side of the road in the night, watching the night vigilantly.
After a while, a faint voice sounded from the entrance of the village, and I saw a small figure, jumping towards Chen Wenyao.
The child was still humming a nursery rhyme while jumping in his mouth, but unfortunately his voice was too small and dispersed before it reached Chen Wenyao's ears.
Chen Wenyao's heart moved, and he tried to activate the [Listening Technique].
After the transformation of Naqi Dan, Chen Wenyao's spiritual power was several times stronger, enough to support the [Hearing Technique] for a long time.
As soon as I let go of my hearing, sure enough, there was a sound that was intermittently accepted into my eyes, and it was very clear.
"No man's river, in the village opposite, there is a child playing in the mud. β
"Thin mud, rotten mud, grab the mud and pinch the doll. β
"Pinch your dad to laugh, pinch your mom to cry, pinch your sister to leave. β
"Dad laughs at Mom, Mom cries for my sister, and my sister is going to leave with someone. β
Chen Wenyao listened to this nursery rhyme, although the child sang breathlessly and unsmoothly, but the lyrics were okay, at least much better than the old man's lyrics.
"Pinch the mud, smash the mud, smash your mud. β
"If you pinch a mother-in-law, you're a madman, and if you pinch an uncle, you're a fool;"
"The madman mother-in-law loves to keep guests, and the foolish uncle greets her. β
"Save dinner, add bedding, and you'll be confused when you're done. β
"It's the middle of the night, sleep, close your eyes and don't talk!"
"Roll over, hell, your head is in the mud!"
"Muddy, muddy, no one to play with me"
Chen Wenyao's face gradually turned pale, and the fear in his heart was indescribable.
The little child stood not far from Chen Wenyao, showing his white teeth, stretched out a hand with a ball of mud on it, and said with a smile: "Brother, play with me in the mud." β
