Vol.3 Strange Tales in the Countryside (29)

"Village Chief! Chief? The village chief ......"

The old man left everyone in the courtyard, went into the village chief's house, and howled with his throat open. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"What are you doing! What are you doing! What to shout? Dead!? ”

The village chief lifted the curtain and walked out of the inner room, his face full of impatience, and he was not a good-natured man at first glance.

"Oh, old ginger, what are you doing? Don't let people eat at night? The village chief glanced at the old man and said unhappily.

"Hey, hey, don't be funny, I don't know about you yet!" The old ginger smiled wickedly and said, "Whose family eats in the inner room?" ”

The village elder blushed, quickly waved his hand, frowned and said, "You're done, old ginger!" This village has given you a lot of benefits, don't talk about anything with your old mouth! ”

The old ginger head was bored with himself, smiled wryly, and said: "Village chief, what are you talking about, my old ginger head is the kind of person who talks nonsense." ”

Seeing the old ginger's hippie smiling face, the village chief snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I see that you are not less that kind of person!" ”

"Hey, hey......" Old Jiang Tou smiled embarrassedly, but in his heart he was secretly scolding the village chief, the old bastard, and the whole village knew about the shitty things of a few widows in the village, and he still needed to go out and say something! Hmph, the emperor is far away, and he really thinks he is the emperor of the soil! Old bastard, sooner or later you will die on a woman.

After the old ginger scolded indignantly, he spoke with a shy face: "Village chief, there are a few young people in our village who want to live in the village for a while. ”

After hearing this, the village chief's tense face immediately relaxed, and he quickly lowered his voice, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "How many people?" ”

Old Jiang Tou leaned closer, raised his eyebrows and said, "There are five people in total." ”

"Oh? Five......" The village chief groaned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the old ginger.

Old Jiang Tou immediately understood, glanced out a few times, lowered his voice, approached the village chief, and said, "Village chief, these young people are very rich and generous. Moreover, they don't seem to have come to see the old miracle doctor. ”

"Oh?" The village chief was very puzzled, although their small village is a mountain and a water, but this landscape has no characteristics, and it is not suitable for tourism, at most there is a herb, but it is not the kind of precious medicinal materials, except for seeking medical treatment, outsiders will hardly come to this poor and remote country.

"Let's go out and have a look." The night in the mountains was cold, the village chief approved a coat, took two steps, quickly turned around, and said to the old ginger: "Old ginger, take care of your mouth!" Don't talk nonsense! ”

Old Jiang Tou smiled awkwardly and said, "Village Chief, don't worry!" I can still ruin your good deeds! ”

The village chief snorted coldly and said, "It's good if you understand!" There has been no income in our village, otherwise we will live if we don't slaughter these outsiders! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old ginger nodded hurriedly in response, his eyes rolled a few times, and he pulled the village chief's sleeve again, and begged: "Brother, let's talk about it, we can't easily agree to them to stay here for a while, I still want to go a long time!" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? The village chief glanced at the old ginger, knowing that this guy had taken benefits from others again, and the strangers who came to ask for a divine doctor to save their lives in the past, this old boy did not slaughter others.

This time is certainly no exception.

"Hey, hey, hey......" The old ginger smiled flatteringly, and said flatteringly: "Village chief, you still don't know me!" He asked...... I'll bring you something nice next time! We've got a lot of new stores like that in town...... There are all kinds of foreign goods in it, which is called a strong one! Next time, I'll bring you a few things for you to try! ”

Hearing the old ginger head say this, the village chief's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, he glanced at the inner room, remembered the warm fragrant nephrite, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but deliberately pretended to be serious and shouted: "I said you are an old thing!" Treat me like someone! What foreign stuff? Am I that kind of person, I ......"

The village chief said this, but his eyes were round, and he was just pretending to be at first glance, the old ginger has lived in this village for decades, and he has known the village chief since he was a child, can he still understand him? The old ginger grinned and only promised "yes, yes, yes", but kept scolding this old thing in his heart.

The village chief scolded and scolded, had already opened the doorknob, walked out of the wooden door, as if he had changed a person, the swear words on his lips had stopped, his appearance had changed, he had a serious face, cleared his throat, looked at a few people, raised his voice and asked, "Is it that a few of you want to live in our village?" What are you doing in our village? ”

Li Minghao glanced at the old ginger head, and the old ginger shrugged his shoulders helplessly, as if to say that the village chief did not agree with them staying.

Li Minghao was relieved, and he didn't dwell on this process, he greeted him with a smile, bowed his head and said to the village chief: "Hello, your old man is the village chief?" We came to the village to find someone, and it was really late today, and it was not easy to visit relatives and friends, so I thought you would arrange a place to stay for one night......"

In many places, there is an old rule that you can't visit relatives and friends at night, and Li Minghao estimated that this closed mountain village should be the same, so he used this incident as a reason to probe the tone of the village chief.

"What a strange boy you are!" The village chief frowned and said, "What age is this, who cares about that?" As long as your relatives don't care, you can live if you want to, and there are not so many rules in our village. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, it seems that this matter of entering the village is not as complicated as the old man called Lao Jiangtou said, as long as he says that he is here to visit relatives and friends, just go.

It's a pity that everyone is still too young and innocent. They were happy for only a minute, and then they heard the village chief continue: "Well......

As soon as everyone's hearts were put back in their stomachs, they returned to their throats.

The village chief was very satisfied with their reaction, and continued: "Our village has always had simple people, and there have never been outsiders, so ...... you?"

The village chief squinted his eyes and looked He Huan and the others up and down a few times, so he said in embarrassment: "It looks really raw, and the accent doesn't look like people from our province, in the middle of the night, I really don't dare to leave you in the village!" ”

Li Minghao understood, quickly took out his wallet from his backpack, took out a thick wad of banknotes from it, held it in both hands, respectfully handed it to the village chief, and said with a smile: "Village chief, you see that we really have no place to stay, and we are definitely not bad people...... Rest assured, we won't live in vain! It's a little bit of a thought, and it's our accommodation fee! Please be sure to accept it! ”

When the old ginger saw such a large sum of money, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he couldn't wait to rush up and carry this sum of money in his arms! That's a lot of money, and it must be at least a few thousand dollars, and compared to him, the one thousand dollars smaller just now is nothing. Sure enough, the money that is still an official comes quickly, and he has earned his old ginger's hard-earned money for several years at one time.

"Village chief, I don't think these young people are bad people, just let them stay!" The old ginger hurriedly seized the time to express himself, and while watching Li Minghao and the others make eyes, he pretended to beg the village chief bitterly.

The village chief was expressionless, with his hands behind his back, completely unmoved. Anyway, he is also a village chief, and there are not thousands but hundreds of people who have come to the village to seek medical treatment over the years, although those people are not very rich, but in order to survive, the money is considered a yarn, and it is definitely generous enough. On the other hand, the money for road construction in the village was not approved at all, but went into his own pocket. Anyway, the town has said hello, and the money that should be spent has been spent in the place, what are you afraid of? Therefore, Li Minghao's money is completely out of his eyes.

Li Minghao saw that the village chief was unmoved, thinking that he had used the wrong routine, and it was when it was difficult to ride a tiger, but Meng Yi'er snorted coldly at this time and walked up. She has been secretly observing for the past half a day, and she roughly understands that the village chief just wants to put on a stand and reap some long-term benefits, and the village chief's excuses are simply excuses. Li Minghao's Mandarin is very standard, and the village chief can predict that they are not even from this province when he only listens to him alone. This is too, obviously just trying to find an excuse to embarrass them.

"We can press our ID cards on you, as long as we stay here, even if we sleep in the yard!" Meng Yi'er's tone was firm, how could she be a little begging.

There was no light in the courtyard, and the village chief only took a cursory look at He Huan and his party through the dim light in the house for a long time, until Meng Li'er stepped forward, and the village chief took a closer look at the girl.

That's a ...... It's indescribably good-looking! uses an adjective often used in cross talk, that is, "the beauty of a thought", with bright eyes, with tenacity and courage that ordinary girls will not have, and a towering nose bridge and ...... Twin peaks, delicate cherry lips, fair skin, with the kind of foreign atmosphere and delicacy unique to city girls, is really a living stunner in the world! The village chief dared to swear with his life that he had never seen such a good-looking girl in his life!

"You...... You ......" The village chief's eyes lit up, and his tongue was a little knotted, but in just an instant, he returned to his normal expression, and then secretly congratulated himself that he was carrying the light on his back and did not lose face in front of these people.

"Who the hell are you looking for?" The village chief took a few steps back, a little flustered, and quickly asked a question to divert everyone's attention.

Meng Qi'er knew that the village chief would ask this question, but even she didn't know the answer, so she had to look back at the Taoist chief, hoping that the Taoist chief could tell the truth at this time.

Seeing the inquiry in Meng Li'er's eyes, the Taoist chief sighed, stepped forward in a few steps, and said to the village chief: "Old village chief, do you still remember me?" ”

The village chief let out a "huh" and looked at the Taoist chief in the dim light.

This middle-aged man is dressed in a sloppy manner, although he is an ordinary black coat and trousers, it can be seen that he is not a very particular person on weekdays. He had a bun on top of his head, twisted seven or eight times, and it was impossible to tell if it was real or fake, but it obviously didn't match his hair color very well. And his face has a sense of decadence that has been through vicissitudes, coupled with a thin figure and a nervous expression, it looks a bit of a god temperament.

"Are you ......" The village chief frowned tightly, to say that the middle-aged man in front of him was indeed a little familiar, but there was a very strange feeling, could it be that he had seen it somewhere many years ago?

"Alas...... Village Chief, have you forgotten me? The Taoist chief sighed, he is no longer the person he used to be, and the people he saw when he was young no longer remember his youthful appearance, this is the saddest thing in life, and it is also the most inevitable experience.

The more the village chief looked at him, the more familiar he felt, and he took a few steps closer and looked at the chief carefully.

"You...... You are...... Maomao? ”

The village chief finally recognized the middle-aged man in front of him by the dim light, and for a moment he was almost in tears.

"Old village chief!" The Taoist chief was also full of emotion, grabbed the village chief's arm with both hands, and the two hugged their heads and cried.

The group was very helpless, especially after hearing that the name of the Taoist chief was actually "Mao Mao", the group laughed unkindly.

Crying and crying, the two of them hugged their heads and cried for a long time, and they didn't understand what they were crying for, after all, they didn't have such a deep friendship back then, probably just that the two were young when they met, and now they are both in their twilight years, so they just sighed.

"Come on, come on, come in the house, please!" The village chief touched the old face and invited the group to come into the house and sit down.

"Oops! Okay, good, good! Dao Chang's face was full of red light, and he turned his head to greet a few people and said, "You're welcome, they're all old acquaintances!" ”

He Huan and the others looked at each other and followed into the house.

"What's going on? Why haven't you come in yet? The little widow in the inner room had been waiting for too long, and when she heard someone squirming in outside, she didn't understand what was going on, so she whispered a question.

This shy voice made the old village chief almost cold from head to foot, his old face was blushing, and he said to the old ginger head: "You help me greet first, I'll go in and deal with something!" ”

After that, he muttered "This little girl" in his mouth, and lifted the curtain and entered the house.

"! Do you have any brains, little? I don't know there's someone outside? Cause me trouble! "There was the angry voice of the village chief from the inner room.

"What's wrong with me...... People aren't worried about you......" There was a woman's voice in the room, looking a little shy.

"! Don't come to me again! Get out! The village chief was annoyed.

"Don't...... I didn't mean to! The woman was in a hurry.

"Fuck off! Get out! The village chief stomped on the kang, so frightened that the woman could no longer speak, put on her clothes, hurriedly opened the curtain and ran.
