Chapter 5: Doubts

Xiaoying was indeed suspicious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Her mind kept recalling what Uncle Wu had said.

Xiaoying didn't know much, she vaguely knew that those outsiders in the mountains seemed to have set up some kind of factory or something, mining ore, and then making some very valuable things and shipping them out to sell. The people of the village said that they angered the mountain god, so the mountain god punished the people.

Most of the people in the village believe in the mountain gods, and their homes are worshipping them, blessing every family with good weather and good weather.

Now the mountain god is angry, and the black smoke is released by the mountain god. The mountain gods are not allowed to be blasphemed, but those people have dug such deep holes in the mountains, driving big machines to plunder the treasures of the mountains day and night.

But...... But why do so many people in the village still go? There are also many people who say that the black fog is not caused by those factories at all. They are making high-level things, how can they bring disaster to people?

The closer you are, the more likely you are to be punished by the mountain gods.

I don't know if Brother Zhang Hua will be like that. Xiaoying thought about it and was a little scared.

Xiaoying didn't know who to ask. What she wants most is for her grandfather to wake up quickly, and then she won't be so lonely. Since the death of my grandmother, my grandfather has been the only relative by my side. She couldn't imagine the days of losing her grandfather.

……

The next morning.

There are people wearing white filial piety clothes walking in the gloomy weather. One side was sprinkling white paper money in the sky, and the other side was expressionlessly muttering something in his mouth.

It was followed by four people carrying the coffin, as well as a crying child and a young mother wearing white flowers and sobbing lowly.

Aunt Gu next door came out just to see this scene, she sighed lowly: "Alas, it's a crime, it's really pitiful, I'm widowed at such a young age, how can I live in the future." ”

The heart-rending cry made Xiaoying a little upset. She reached out and rubbed Bai Bai's head, and licked her hand obediently.

In the past few days, I have eaten less and less for nothing, and I have lost some weight. I guess I'm feeling a little uneasy.

Xiaoying thought with some concern.

"Iniquity. Iniquity. The grandfather on one side began to mumble again.

He was never sane.

Xiaoying bit her lip and began to feed her grandfather.

After feeding his grandfather, Xiaoying carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Grandpa's gaze was still staring blankly ahead, stunned.

Xiaoying followed his gaze, and Bai Bai was jumping happily in front of him, chasing a colorful butterfly, the butterfly was dancing, the white head was struggling to tilt up, and his eyes were curious and trying to catch the traces of the butterfly, but he couldn't catch up.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Of course, grandpa can't be watching in vain.

Xiaoying sat like that for a while. Then I hurriedly ate two bites of food. Pick up the basket, go to the hen's coop and blast a few clucking hens away, and then pick up the eggs one by one into the basket.

There is nothing else at home, so I live on these chickens and ducks and a few acres of fields. Xiaoying thought that there would be a lot of things to be busy with for a while, so she sped up.

When Xiaoying came to the vegetable market with a basket, there were already some people here. There are people who sell their own vegetables, there are people who sell cattle and sheep, there are people who sell wine, and there are even people who sell sparrows, pheasants, ducks, and hares caught from the mountains, and there are people who sell linen and coarse clothes. Xiaoying remembered that when she was young, the market was always the most lively. The transportation in the village is inconvenient, and the people are basically self-sufficient, at that time, she followed her grandfather curiously, looking at the people around her, she felt very strange, sometimes grandpa was happy, and would buy a string of sugar gourds for her to eat. Xiaoying bites into the sugar gourd, thinking that it is the most delicious thing in the world.

Xiaoying was in a trance, and unconsciously walked to the center of the market, she looked around, picked a suitable place, and began to sell.

Today she is very lucky, there are very few people who come to sell eggs on the street, and she has suddenly become a hot commodity. Especially the kind of person who has a sick person at home, and just needs eggs to replenish his body, so Xiaoying's eggs were snatched up.

It's been a quick day. Some people wanted Xiaoying to keep more next time because they didn't buy it, Xiaoying lowered her head and roughly counted the money, remembering that she would have to go to the field for a while, and hurriedly walked back.

However, at this moment, a group of people suddenly ran over, and there was a thin person running in front of him, and he was about to run to the place where Xiaoying was standing, because he was running too fast, and suddenly one fell to the ground with a stumble, and a group of teenagers who followed immediately followed him, punching and kicking, and swearing on his mouth.

"Don't fight!" Xiaoying reacted and was about to step forward.

A person next to him pulled Xiaoying and said, "Don't be nosy." You can't beat them. ”

Xiaoying looked back, it was a little girl who had just been shopping for vegetables on the side, Xiaoying smiled at her and said, "It's okay." Rest assured. ”

The little girl's eyes flashed with timidity, but she let go of her hand.

Xiaoying was about to step forward, when she suddenly felt something unusual.

It was as if someone was looking at her, however, when Xiaoying turned her head, she saw a noble lady wrapped tightly in a scarf hurrying away.

It's familiar, like someone.

It seems to be the figure of A-Niang......

Xiaoying's gaze kept following the noblewoman, and even involuntarily ran two steps forward.

But how is that possible?

A-Niang has left.

Moreover, it is impossible for A-Niang to wear such luxurious clothes. In my memory, A-Niang is very beautiful, her family is very poor, even if she wears a coarse cloth shirt and ordinary straw sandals on her feet, it is difficult to hide her beautiful appearance.

Xiaoying's expression gradually dimmed.

A fight gradually sounded in his ears, and Xiaoying reacted.

"Stop fighting!" She stepped forward, but the teenagers didn't listen, and their fists and kicks still rained down on the man who was lying on the ground curled up holding his head.

However, at this time, one of the teenagers turned around and saw Xiaoying, and then said, "Xiaoying? ”

"Yang Fan?" Xiaoying shouted. She happened to know this teenager.

Fortunately, Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Xiaoying asked.

"He stole his wallet and refused to return it." Yang Fan said briefly.

At this time, the rest of the teenagers also got tired of fighting and stopped. One of the teenagers said viciously, "You kid give me back your wallet." ”

The thin man lying on the ground was beaten and bruised, but he shook his head firmly.

This move angered the young man who opened his mouth again, and stepped forward with another kick.

"Wait a minute." Xiaoying shouted.

Then she stepped forward and said to the people lying on the ground, "Give them back your wallet." ”

The man lying on the ground still shook his head slowly.

"If you are beaten to death by them, what is the use of the money?"

The man lying on the ground was shocked when he heard this, and a look of fear gradually appeared in his eyes. He groped for his clothes with difficulty, trembling all over his body because of the severe injury, groping for a long time, and finally took out a small blue cloth bag, and then handed it to Xiaoying with trembling ropes.
