After getting closer to the village, Cui Yu understood why this place was called Bagua Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because...... The outside of the village is surrounded by a wall made of stones, and the whole one is in the shape of a gossip.

Cui Yu walked over, and a little boy about five years old stood at the entrance of the wall, looking at him with curious eyes.

A smile appeared on Cui Yu's face, and when he was about to go over to ask where the little boy was, the little boy suddenly ran back, making Cui Yu look puzzled.

After a while, one after another, adult people came out of the house, stood at the entrance of the fence and looked at Cui Yu, and pointed and muttered something. The little boy was held by a woman of about thirty-one or twelve years old.

"Hello, is there a person named Zhao Quan here?" Cui Yu asked directly.

But no one answered the crowd at the entrance.

"Zhao Quan, what are you looking for him?" The crowd moved out of the way, and an old man on crutches walked to the front from behind, speaking the local dialect, but fortunately Cui Yu could understand it with the help of the system.

"I was entrusted by a friend to bring something to him." Cui Yu said to the old man.

"Please come in, I'm the village chief here." The old man turned and walked back, leading the way in front, "No outsiders have been in the village for more than ten years. ”

"Zhao Quan is in the northeast corner of the village, you said that you were entrusted by a friend to come here, so your friend is the party?" The old man said.

"Yes." Cui Yu nodded.

The child has been away from home for five or six years, and has not been back since he left the city. By the way, is this kid okay outside? The old man of the village chief asked.

"Also...... Fortunately, he is still doing well. After Cui Yu hesitated for a moment, he still decided not to tell Zhao Qifang what had happened.

Sometimes a white lie might be better for them. After all, knowing that Zhao Qifang would be executed after a one-year probation, it was even worse.

"It's good to be doing well." The village chief and the old man didn't complain about the other party in the slightest, as if they felt that the other party was doing well outside, and they were very happy.

"Here, this is Lao Zhao's home." The old man of the village chief pointed to a relatively dilapidated house and said to Cui Yu, "But Lao Zhao entered the mountain this morning, and he hasn't come back yet, so you have to wait for a while." ”

"Okay." Cui Yu nodded and waited outside the house.

Cui Yu found a place to sit down and wait for Zhao Qifang's old father, and at this time, he happened to observe the situation in Bagua Village.

In Bagua Village, there are almost 20 families now, with a total of about 100 people.

Now most of the people in the village are women and children, in addition to the elderly.

After waiting for about two or three hours, in the evening, Cui Yu finally saw an old man in his sixties coming back with a crossbow and a pheasant.

When the old man saw Cui Yu, he was obviously stunned, not knowing why the other party was sitting in front of his house.

"You are?"

"I'm a friend of Zhao Qifang, are you his father?" Cui Yu asked.

"Why didn't that kid come back?" The old man's attitude was lukewarm, and he was busy with his own business.

"He has something to do, and he won't be able to come back in a short time." Cui Yu couldn't say that the other party was arrested and sentenced, and the death penalty would have to be carried out in a year, so he could only find an excuse to prevaricate the past.

When the old man heard this, he snorted, "Something...... I think he was fascinated by life in the big city and refused to come back. ”

Cui Yu was slightly embarrassed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.

After thinking about it, he took out some things from his backpack and handed them to the old man Zhao Quan, mainly some health care products, which are used for health preservation.

"That's a little bit of heart that he asked me to bring you."

After the old man saw these things, he didn't say anything, but his face softened a lot.

Cui Yu paused for a moment and continued, "He also asked me to ask you if you want to live in the city. ”

"No, no." The old man's words instantly turned cold.

"Either come back with him, a rabbit, or don't come back. Bagua Village is my roots, and if I want to die, I will die here, and if you want me to go outside, there is no way. The old man refused Cui Yu's request.

"If he doesn't want to come back, if I don't have this son, we don't have him in Bagua Village."

Cui Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only stare dryly from the side.

Originally, I wanted to arrange for the old man to go to a nursing home in the city so that he could spend his old age in peace, but now it seems that none of this can be realized. Judging by the old man's posture, he should never leave here.

The old man didn't care about Cui Yu anymore, but was busy boiling water to kill the pheasant.

After more than half an hour of tinkering, the old man finally got the pheasant, and a smile appeared on his face, for him, a pheasant could improve his food tonight a lot.

It wasn't until dinner time that the old man came out to ask Cui Yu.

"Let's come in and have a bite to eat."

Cui Yu shook his head, he ate Bigu Dan and was not hungry.

"Eat, I ate what fills my hunger, and I'm not hungry now." Cui Yu rejected the other party's kindness.

"Then come in and sit down, the home is simple, don't dislike it." The old man sighed and invited Cui Yu into the house for a meeting.

Cui Yu nodded and followed the old man into the house.

The decoration of the house was very simple, or almost nothing, except for the beds, tables and chairs, and there was only some dry food hanging on the wall, and there was nothing left.

"Is something wrong with this kid?" The old man sat at the table where he was eating, and after taking a bite, he stopped and asked this sentence.

Cui Yu was stunned, he didn't expect the old man to guess so accurately.

"You don't have to lie to me, I know the character of this rabbit cub, he asked someone to bring things back, and he definitely can't come back by himself." The old man's hands trembled a little, but his tone was calm.

"Is he dead?"

Cui Yu was entangled in his heart, and he didn't know whether to say anything about the other party.

"Not dead yet." In the end, Cui Yu still chose to say what happened to the other party. "However, he was arrested and put in prison, sentenced to a one-year reprieve, and executed a year later."

Smack.

The chopsticks in the old man's hand fell to the ground, and there was no reaction for a long time.

After his heart calmed down, the old man continued to ask, "What did he get in for?" ”

"Killing, he killed two bad guys. But...... After all, his behavior is a violation of the law and a crime. Cui Yu said.

"I see."

"I finally didn't lose the face of our gossip village." After knowing what happened to Zhao Qifang, the old man's mood was very calm.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Cui Yu suddenly felt a little sorry. (To be continued.) )
