As soon as the driver finished speaking, a light rain fell from the sky, and it rained as soon as Lao Tzu got out of the car. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Taohua wanted to have a seizure, and was about to turn around to trouble the driver, it seemed that the driver was in the car for a while, but the driver rolled the window shut, stepped on the accelerator and left, Li Taohua scolded the driver behind the car, but the driver didn't bird him.

The two of us stood in the rain with our little backpacks, feeling like two fools.

Li Taohua said, "Lao Zhuang, it seems that it is not good to be a teacher." ”

I comforted him and said, "Think about the 80,000 yuan given by Brother Feng, and our hearts will be balanced." ”

Li Taohua was right to think about it, he picked up his backpack and walked in front silently, and I followed him all the way.

Soon on the road I saw a stone road sign that read: Lonely Village

Li Taohua scolded loudly, "This village has a declining name, a lonely village, at first glance, it is a very poor village, but any village that is a little better will not think of such a name." ”

This path into the village is actually not too long, about a kilometer or so, but it is raining, the road is slippery, and we are thrown off by the driver, we are not in a good mood, and we don't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountain fog, and this kind of scenery is estimated in the eyes of Li Taohua, it is not a scenery at all, he will only think that the place to drink tea and eat and hook up with women in the downtown is interesting.

In front of you is the lonely village.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and it was still raining, Li Taohua took a flashlight to look for the map in his hand, and then he pointed to a place on the map and said, "No, there is a problem, this way, the destination should be here, but the map shows Silent Village, but the stone tablet at the entrance of this village is written on the lonely village, is it a wrong word written on the map?"

In terms of distance, this can only be the place called Silent Village that shows us on the map.

Li Taohua and I stopped, and then I asked him, "Is it really a mistake on the map?" Or are we looking for the wrong place, this is a lonely village, but maybe there is a village with a similar name called Silent Village in the vicinity, let's not start in the wrong direction from a very early age." ”

Li Taohua looked up at the terrain around him, and then he said. "It stands to reason that this should be here, if we continue to go down and enter the mountains again, where is this village? And we came all the way, I paid a lot of attention to the road, there was no fork in the road before, and I missed other villages, that is to say, this road is only this village, how can it not be the silent village on the map? So there is only one possibility, the name on the map is marked incorrectly. ”

As he spoke, the original drizzle was getting heavier and heavier, and now it had turned into a downpour. On a rainy night, the trunk of the huge banyan tree at the entrance of the lonely village was blown by the wind, like a beast struggling desperately to escape the shackles in the night.

The lonely village is the kind of Fujian very characteristic walled houses, there are eight walled houses located in the village, the walls of the walled houses are very high, there are only a few sparse air outlets on the wall, but the strange thing is that I saw no light in the ventilation vents of the eight walled houses in the lonely village at this distance, let alone hear a little human voice.

I muttered in my heart, the information that Brother Feng gave us said that the person who was suspected of being bald was hiding in a local village called Silent Village.

This village is called Lonely Village, it is just dark, and it is not at all the time when it is time to go to bed in the dead of night, but there is no movement in the village at all, but Li Taohua insists that we are not mistaken, this is the silent village that Brother Feng refers to, but now it seems that this village has been deserted.

Li Taohua rushed ahead of me and walked briskly to the entrance of the village, I followed, and then said to him, "Old Li, you must admit that we may have really been mistaken, there is not a single bird here, how can there be any bald old man." ”

Li Taohua replied to me, "I followed the map all the way to the small bread just now, if it weren't for here, I really can't think of where it could be, unless the whole route of the map in my hand is wrong." ”

The ruin-like houses in front of us, the crooked earthen walls and the barren grass, the rain has soaked our whole bodies, and the wind is blowing through, this feeling of helplessness that is uncomfortable and like going to the wrong place makes me feel that the 80,000 yuan in my pocket is really not easy to earn.

At this time, Li Taohua, who was walking in front, suddenly hummed.

He turned his head and pointed obscenely at a place not far away, and I looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a rickety figure under the corner of an earthen house not far away, looking at us motionlessly.

"Who is it?" asked Li Taohua loudly.

Li Taohua was also very rude, and immediately shone the flashlight in his hand towards the person after asking.

It was an old man in a black raincoat, it could be seen that his body was very thin, hunched back, with a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth, he kept smoking, and the white smoke went straight to his nose and spit out, which was blown by the cold wind in the village, and immediately dissipated.

Seeing his appearance clearly, Li Taohua obviously showed a little disgust, and asked loudly, "Who is pretending to be a ghost here?" ”

The old man grinned, and his dry laughter was tingling and creepy to hear in the stormy night.

Li Taohua and I walked a few steps forward and came to this strange old man, Li Taohua saw that he did not look like a kind old man, just like a wicked person seeing a wicked person, as if he had a little mutual respect, his voice was much calmer, and then asked, "Senior, it is raining and cold at night, how can you appear alone in this broken village where birds don't." ”

The old man grinned again, and then he spit out the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, and the cigarette butt was extinguished by the rain with a grunt, and he raised his head to look at Li Taohua and me, and then said slowly in a hoarse voice, "Then what are you two doing when you two appear in this place where birds don't at this time." ”

Carrying the old man back with such a sentence, Li Taohua smiled instead, he felt that he had met a Lai Pi like him, and couldn't help but think it was very interesting, and then he began to flicker, "The two of us came here to travel, and were thrown here by the black guide's van, and then we got lost, and now I want to sleep in this village for one night, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

The old man grinned again, and then he said, "I'm the only old guy in this village where birds don't, and you come to live in this village, come with me, and I promise you that you will live cheaply and comfortably." ”

He turned around and turned on the flashlight in his hand and began to walk deeper into the village.

I smiled bitterly, and then walked quickly to him, whispering that this old man was very eccentric, and it would be no problem to follow him like this

Li Taohua said that if he really wants to make any small moves, there is no need to show up openly, it is better to give us a sneak, not afraid to follow
