Story 82 Sishui Village (3)
After Huazi and Miao Kai ate the last food on their bodies, they were ready to start setting off in the direction they had parked last night, but they couldn't remember which direction the entrance of the village was in after they had been wandering around the village for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two of them walked back and forth in the village according to their impressions, and it was also strange that they walked in the four directions of the village, southeast, northwest, but there was no way out of the village in any direction!
This reminded them of what the old man said yesterday, "You can't walk around at night", but now it's daytime, Huazi looked at the big sun on his head, if he continues like this, it will be noon again, and the little thing he ate in the morning is almost digested.
Miao Kai complained and said, "I didn't suffer this sin with you if I knew it, I haven't been hungry since I grew so big, and now I can finally understand the suffering of African refugees, and I must not waste a grain of food when I eat in the future!" ”
Hua Zi glanced at him and said, "Aren't you hungry when you say so much?" ”
Miao Kai just wanted to reply to him, but as soon as he thought that talking would be a waste of physical strength, he closed his mouth and walked quietly!
But without taking two steps, Huazi stopped, he looked around and said, "No, I can't go on like this!" We have to find the old man's house last night first! ”
Miao Kai said angrily, "Who doesn't know that you have to find the old man's house first, but you said that we have all walked around this village a few times?" Although it was dark when I came yesterday, I still remember what the old man's gate looked like, and I am sure that we have not passed by the old man's house since we left the gate of his house! ”
Huazi knew that what Miao Kai said was not wrong at all, and he also remembered that they saw the old man's house last night when they entered the village and didn't go far, so as long as they found that courtyard, they would definitely be able to leave the village, and they regretted it now, why didn't they go out of the village in the morning, otherwise they wouldn't be lost in this strange village now.
"Don't go!" Huazi suddenly shouted, and Miao Kai was frightened, "What's the matter?" ”
Huazi found a tree stump and sat down and said, "Let's go this way, sit down, and we can find the yard when it gets dark!" ”
Miao Kai thought about it, yesterday they only found this place after seeing the light of a few oil lamps in the dark night, it seems that they are so blind, it is better to wait for dark, it's just ...... Thinking of this, Miao Kai's stomach came with a "grunt...... Grunt" sound.
He immediately said embarrassedly, "Well, why are you hungry again?" ”
Huazi also rubbed his stomach and said, "I've been hungry for a long time, and I didn't eat much in the morning. With that, his eyes wandered around, as if he was looking for something......
Miao Kai was puzzled and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
Huazi ignored him, still looking for something everywhere, and suddenly, Huazi said happily, "There is!" ”
He came to a tree in three steps and two steps, and then said triumphantly, "Look, guess what I found!" ”
Miao Kai walked under the tree and looked, it turned out to be a jujube tree! He picked one casually and put it in his mouth, not to mention, it was really sweet, so he teased and said, "It seems that you and I are going to learn from the ruthless valley master Qiu Qianqi!" ”
Huazi smiled and said, "We are not much different from her situation now!" ”
So the two of them were busy picking dates to eat, don't look at this jujube tree is inconspicuous, but the dates on it are big and sweet, Miao Kai asked while eating, "Huazi, how do you know that you can find a jujube tree in the village?" ”
Huazi said proudly, "I have come to my area a lot, and in the general village, there will be people who plant a few jujube trees in front of their homes, sell them if they can, and dry them to eat at home if no one buys them!" ”
Miao Kai was eating, and suddenly asked Huazi, "Huazi, you said that this place would not be the Sishui Village you said, right?" ”
Huazi's face changed and he said, "Impossible! That's just a legend, and it's not very true. ”
"That's not necessarily, there are a lot of legends that are not groundless, they are all things that have happened before they have been made up by future generations!" Miao Kai retorted.
But Huazi said with a solemn expression, "Maybe, I hope this is not ......"
Then the two of them sat under the jujube tree and chatted, and when they were hungry and thirsty, they ate the jujube tree on the tree...... Time passed quickly, and when they looked at the sun again, they found that it was almost sinking in the west.
When the last ray of sunlight disappeared on the hill to the west, Huazi and Miao Kai's surroundings slowly darkened, and they didn't turn on their mobile phones to illuminate them, because the mobile phone had not much electricity, and they had to use it when there was a signal!
Soon, the eyes of the two of them were able to adapt to the darkness in front of them, and the small village at night looked even more strange and terrifying, this time they did not walk blindly, but stood in the dark and waited......
Finally, in front of them on the left, there was a faint light flickering on and off, it should be yesterday's light that couldn't be wrong, so Huazi and Miao Kai quickened their pace and walked towards the light.
When they came to the courtyard of yesterday, the gate was still wide open, and the old man of yesterday was lighting the seven oil lamps one by one.
The old man looked up at the voice, and then went on with his business, as if it were not at all surprised that they would return.
Huazi and Miao Kai learned to be obedient this time, and they didn't dare to go up rashly to disturb, but patiently waited for the old man to light up all the seven oil lamps before Huazi said out loud, "Uncle, I'm sorry, we ......."
But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the old man wave his hand at them and say, "Are you hungry?" Let's get something to eat first......" and then turned around and went into the house.
Hua Zi and Miao Kai looked at the room, and they were a little hesitant in their hearts, because during the day, they clearly saw the vermilion lacquer coffin parked inside......
Although they hesitated, in the end the two of them followed the old man in, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the dazzling coffin, and the old man looked at them and said, "Don't be afraid, this is new, and it has not been used by the dead." ”
Huazi smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, uncle, we shouldn't run around during the day!" ”
The old man didn't say anything, but went straight to the back room with some cooked corn cobs, and said to them, "I don't have anything else here, so you can eat some, and I'll send you out early tomorrow morning......
When the two of them saw the hot corn cob, the tears almost didn't come down, and they immediately devoured it!
Huazi asked while eating, "Uncle, what kind of place is this, why is there no one in the village?" We didn't see you in the morning, so we wanted to go to someone's house to find something to eat, but we couldn't find our way back! (To be continued.) )
