Chapter 281: Simplicity and Poverty
At this time, the two old men got up from the ground, cautiously approached Yang Hao, picked up the gun and ran back, for fear that Yang Hao would make a move. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Yang Hao didn't mean to stop him at all, and kindly reminded: "Two old men, run slowly and be careful of wrestling." ”
Poof!
Liu Qing couldn't help laughing, and the previous tension dissipated instantly, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in her heart.
feels that as long as Yang Hao is here, even if the sky falls, he is not afraid, because for him, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, and he can solve it easily.
The two old men stood still with their guns in their hands with embarrassed expressions, turned around, and raised their gunpowder guns again.
However, the two hesitated for a moment, and finally moved the muzzle of the gun to the side, not directly aimed at Yang Hao and the others, and at the same time unconsciously took a few steps back, not daring to get too close to Yang Hao.
The white-bearded old man frowned, shook his head and said, "Hmph, don't think that we mountain people have no culture, what if you deceive and deliberately use bitter tricks to confuse us?" ”
Yang Hao was full of black lines, and said with his forehead: "This old man who is familiar with the art of war, we are really just spending one night and leaving tomorrow, and we really have no other intentions." ”
He looked at the other party's disbelieving expression, and added, "Then why don't you get us two rooms, and then have someone guard at the door, and we don't go out, so it's okay, right?" ”
The white-bearded old man thought about it, and finally nodded hesitantly: "That's okay, that's it, but the accommodation can't be in vain, you have to give money, and the labor costs of the guards have to be counted as money, and you need cash, no problem, right?" ”
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly: "No problem, of course no problem, these expenses should be paid, and cash is no problem, it's all negotiable." ”
He inexplicably remembered the old village chief in his mind, and said in his heart, Could it be that this white-bearded old man and the old village chief are long-lost brothers?
After negotiating the price, Yang Hao paid the money first, and the white-bearded old man's face suddenly looked much better, and he quickly arranged a room for them.
It is the east end of the village, the outermost stilted building, which looks very dilapidated on the outside, but I didn't expect anyone to live in it.
Most of the houses in the village are stilted buildings with national characteristics, and the main material is bamboo that can be seen everywhere on the nearby mountains, which almost does not cost money, only labor costs.
"Ah Fang, these three people will be arranged to spend the night at your house tonight, you don't have to worry about safety, there are people outside who take turns to keep vigil."
The white-bearded old man said to the owner of the house, "And they don't live in vain, they give money, and I will give you your share when the account is settled tomorrow." ”
He looked at the sleepy-eyed boy beside Ah Fang, five or six years old, black and thin, and he looked malnourished.
The white-bearded old man couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, when the time comes, I will take the money and buy some meat for the dog baby to eat, you see that this child is thin, but you have to pull two dolls by yourself, it is really difficult for you." ”
Ah Fang is a young woman, with dark skin, short hair, and a little girl sleeping soundly in her arms, just two or three years old.
She smiled at the white-bearded old man: "Uncle Nine, thank you for taking care of you, I will greet these three guests, don't worry." ”
Uncle Nine nodded, warned Yang Hao and them a few more words, told them to be honest and not cause trouble, and then left with the others, leaving only four people and a few dogs to keep vigil downstairs.
Ah Fang smiled solemnly: "Three...... Guest, my conditions here are a little rudimentary, please don't be surprised. ”
Yang Hao smiled: "It's okay, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and Uncle Nine can agree to let us stay in the village for one night, which is already a big help." ”
Ah Fang turned around and walked upstairs: "Well, Uncle Nine is a good person, the reason why he let you live with me is also to let me make some money so that I can subsidize the family, don't blame him." ”
The two of them said a few more polite words, and Ah Fang took the three of them to the second floor, pointed to the two rooms in front of them, and said, "You can stay in these two rooms tonight, the one on the right can be used now, and the one on the left will be cleaned up for you immediately." ”
With that, she walked briskly into the room on the right, put the sleeping girl in her arms into a bamboo basket, and picked up a blanket.
Immediately afterwards, Ah Fang carried the bamboo basket, took her son into the small room near the stairs, gently put down the bamboo basket, draped the blanket on her son, and advised: "You take care of your sister here, and your mother will come over immediately, okay?" ”
"Okay, I'll take care of my sister, don't worry, Mom." The boy nodded sensibly, divided the blanket into parts, and placed it on the bamboo basket in front of him.
Ah Fang touched his son's head with a smile, turned around and went out, and began to clean up the room for Yang Hao and them.
When Liu Qing saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel sad, and took the initiative to speak: "Sister Afang, I'll help you." ”
Ah Fang smiled: "No, I have very quick hands and feet, and I can get it right soon." ”
Yang Hao spoke at this time: "Sister Qing, you go and watch the two children, and I will help clean up the house." ”
After saying that, he didn't wait for Ah Fang to agree, and began to help.
Liu Qing was not confused, she didn't rush into the small room, she just watched at the door, afraid that something would happen to the two children.
Ah Fang was a little relieved, and didn't say anything more, and quickly cleaned up with Yang Hao and the little monk.
Yang Hao observed the situation in the house while cleaning up, especially the room on the right, which was obviously where Ah Fang and the two children slept before.
But even in this room, there is no decent furniture, except for a simple bamboo wardrobe, tables and chairs, only a low bamboo bed.
In the next room, there is only a bamboo bed, not even a table and chairs.
It can be seen that Ah Fang is at home with her and two children, and life is very difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the family is surrounded by four walls.
Yang Hao saw all this in his eyes, and didn't say anything, but when he was about to go back to the small room after cleaning up, Ah Fang was about to go back to the small room, he went over and took a look.
This small room was obviously a utility room, and there were some farm tools piled up in it, as well as seeds, fertilizers, and the like, and the smell was somewhat pungent.
What's more, not to mention the bamboo bed here, there is not even a mat, only a dirty floor, or an uneven bamboo floor.
Yang Hao sighed secretly and said, "Sister Qing, you and Sister A Fang, and two children, sleep in the room on the right, and I sleep in the room on the left with Xingji, so it's decided, let's go." ”
After speaking, Yang Hao turned around and went into the house, and the little monk also sighed, shook his bald head, and followed into the room.
Liu Qing's eyes were red, she had only watched similar documentaries in poor areas on TV and the Internet before, but she didn't expect that when she saw it with her own eyes, it would be so shocking and sad. (To be continued.) )
