They only got up lazily on the three poles of the sun.

Lao Li Village Elder Osmanthus had already gone to work in the field, and he had boiled a pot of porridge for them in the rice cooker, and now he was keeping warm.

"Oops, finally got some sleep."

Sun Da was punching under the eaves, satisfied.

"It's just that I'm tired these days, and this is just the beginning." Zhu Wen also sighed, and after spitting out the last mouthwash, wiping his mouth, he turned around and went to the house.

Everyone gathered around for breakfast, Yang Damei put the chopsticks on the table, and said with palpitations: "Last night, Yixin and I went back and found that the lights upstairs were still on, and I didn't know what's going on, which almost scared Yixin and me to death."

There was a terrible silence in the room.

"I have something to say."

Yang Erwa finally mustered up the courage to stand up, closed her eyes and said, "I forgot to turn off the light when I went upstairs yesterday."

There was silence again, everyone looked at him, and Li Yixin and Sister Yang looked at each other.

"It's really me who forgot to turn off the lights, why did I lie to you? When I walked to Uncle Li's house, I remembered it again, and I decided to turn it off during the day today because I didn't need much electricity overnight."

Before Yang Erwa finished speaking, Yang eldest sister ran over and kicked Yang Erwa, and said while kicking: "You are a dead second baby, if you don't tell me, you almost scared me to death."

"Sister-sister-" Yang Erwa jumped away and hurriedly explained: "I went to light the fire for Aunt Osmanthus last night, I don't know if you took Yixin back, otherwise I will definitely have to sprinkle what you said." Who knows that you went back, when you came back, I was still lighting the fire for Aunt Osmanthus. You didn't tell me last night, you deserve it."

Before Yang Erwa finished her poor mouth, Yang eldest sister rushed over again, and Yang Erwa ran out quickly to avoid being kicked.

Li Yixin looked at Yang Damei and Yang Erwa, although they were noisy on the surface, but in fact, their feelings were still very deep. This makes Li Yixin, an only child who doesn't like to make friends, very envious!

After dinner in the evening, Lao Guihua went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and everyone moved the stools and sat down and waited to answer the questions of the village chief Li

Lao Li Village Chief has always been unhappy in his heart, sitting on the big bench at the door, this time he did not smoke dry tobacco, his waist was straight, just like the elders in a big family asking questions and admonishing the juniors.

Silence, silence, silence.

In the room, you can only hear the sound of old osmanthus colliding with the old man scooping water into the jar in the kitchen.

A qiē quietly.

Gu Yan didn't know how to say it, and he was afraid that he would anger Village Chief Li again by speaking it, so he kept his head down and was silent.

"Old osmanthus, what are you going, come here, sit together!"

The old osmanthus walked over and sat down with her head down, her hands wiping her hands on the gray apron, very restrained.

"Today, I'm going to train you little hairy children who don't know the height of the sky!"

Village Chief Lao Li's voice was calm, and with a wave of his right hand, he had the demeanor of a leading general, and everyone was silent, waiting for Village Chief Lao Li to speak.

"Why do you have to go to Maoling Mountain? Yes? Didn't you hear that none of the people who went to Maoling Mountain could come back alive? Yes? If you want to die, you don't have to look here. Go back, I'll give Lao Tzu back tomorrow! See you again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu broke your legs! ”

Elder Lao Li roared loudly, and the people in the house remained silent.

Jin Ling looked at this qiē, as if he was looking at a joke, and suddenly stood up and opened his mouth and said, "Brother Gu Yan is going to Maoling Mountain, can you manage it?" What do you have to do with it! ”

Hearing that the golden bell was so ignorant of the sky, Sun Da was anxious, and quietly pulled the sleeve of the golden bell, and for a long time, the golden bell ignored him.

Old Village Chief Li just stared at the golden bell and didn't speak.

Jin Ling thought that Village Chief Li was frightened by her, so he raised his voice and continued to say proudly: "Maoling Mountain is not your family, what right do you have to stop us from going!"

Zhu Wen originally wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he didn't move, and sat and watched the joke.

It's good for a woman like Jin Bell to be taught a lesson, he is not a showy person. Besides, he has always been unaccustomed to the golden bell, if she hadn't been brought by Gu Yan, it would be difficult to ensure that Zhu Wen would not beat her

"Little girl, how old are you?"

Village Chief Li asked Jin Ling rhetorically, but Jin Ling didn't answer, still tilting his head proudly, still looking like he didn't know the height of the sky.

Seeing this, Village Chief Lao Li smiled bitterly, sat down, and said lightly: "Look at how many catties and taels you have?" Dare to talk to an old man like this, didn't your parents discipline you? Didn't teach you to respect the elderly?! ”

Village Chief Li did not stop and continued to teach.

"I sue you, little girl, as the saying goes, respect the old and love the young, look at you? Again, what you all think is cheesy, my old man eats more salt than you walk, and what right do you have to yell at me. ”

Seeing that the golden bell was sat down by Sun Dala, Village Chief Lao Li didn't care a lot, just smiled in the direction of Gu Yan, softened his tone and said, "Don't you know that going to Maoling Mountain will kill people?"

"Old Uncle Li, your old feudalism has to be changed, it's just a legend to go to Maoling Mountain to die, you really saw it."

Sister Yang pursed her lips, and Village Chief Lao Li looked at her, smiled again, and said, "I haven't seen a dead person, but I saw a couple go to Maoling Mountain, and they haven't come back yet." Counting the days, it's almost three years."

"That couple is the father and mother of the ancient saying!"

Before Village Chief Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Damei, and Yang Damei struck while the iron was hot and said: "He went to Maoling Mountain to find his parents!"

"Huh?" Village Chief Lao Li tilted his head, looking incredulous, looking at Sister Yang and then at Gu Yan, it took a long time before asking, "You mean them?" So this young man's surname is Gu? Why didn't he tell me before? ”

The tone was a little trembling, and there was some incoherence in it.

Zhu Wen's gaze has never left Lao Li Village Chief, and now when he sees Lao Li Village Chief like this, he feels more and more strange in his heart, he is still a bystander and does not say a word.

Gu Yan stood up and said eagerly and apologetically: "Grandpa, I have always wanted to tell you, but I am afraid that you will prevent us from going to Maoling Mountain, so I dare not say it."

After the ancient saying was finished, everyone saw that the face of the village chief of Lao Li changed all of a sudden, and became a little distorted, whether it was sadness or joy, love or hate, everyone didn't know, but I was afraid that only the village chief of Lao Li himself knew.

"Be careful, old man."

Lao Guihua suddenly stood up and held the arm of Lao Li Village Chief, and everyone found that Lao Li Village Chief's body was still trembling Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you don't know what happened to Lao Li Village Chief? Agitated? Glad?

Nobody knows.

After a while, Lao Li pushed away the old osmanthus flower, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay"

After speaking, he stared at Gu Yan, and Gu Yan also looked at him, not knowing why.

"Your surname is Gu, what's your name?"

"Ancient sayings."

Gu Yan replied respectfully, still thinking about what was wrong with Village Chief Li.

"By the way, Uncle Li, why didn't you see Granny Jiang?" Sister Yang suddenly asked, Village Chief Li was stunned, silent for a while, and replied slowly and sadly: "Dead!"

"Huh?" Yang Damei couldn't believe it, "When?" ”

"Just a few days ago."

"Buried?"

"Where are you buried?"

"On the slope." Village Chief Lao Li didn't say anything more, as if he didn't want to mention it again, and put his mind on Gu Yan again.

After Village Chief Li finished answering, Sister Yang looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Do you know Li Zhong?" Is he doing now? ”

Li Yixin raised her head when she heard Village Chief Li call her father's name, "Could it be that Village Chief Li knows my father?" Li Yixin thought this in her heart, and just wanted to ask Gu Yan interrupted her thinking.

"Yes, I called him uncle, what's wrong? Grandpa, do you know him? Gu Yan asked Li Yixin, and glanced at Li Yixin, Yang Damei and Li Yixin were immersed in the sadness of Granny Jiang's death, and neither spoke.

"Know, know! We haven't seen each other in years, wow. The Gu family and the Li family have intersected for generations, so I asked you. By the way, Xiao Gu, oh, Gu Yan, did Li Zhong say when he would come back? ”

Gu Yan shook his head, and wondered in his heart why he would say that the Gu family and the Li family had intersected for generations.

"Counting the seniority, Li Zhong still has to call me an old brother. The eldest sister is also a big girl, so she has to call me uncle. Your mother Ai Ye and my old osmanthus are distant relatives, but they don't contact each other often.

I've never moved, by the way, the old osmanthus is called Ai Guihua, her grandmother and your mother's grandmother used to be of the same clan, but they are too far away. When your parents went to Maoling Mountain, I saw them leaving, but I didn't see them come back, and I don't know what they were doing in Maoling Mountain.

They never came back, so I spread the word that I would go to Maoling Mountain to die, in fact, the ancestors also passed it down like this. Only Mrs. Jiang and their generation know about it, and now that Mrs. Jiang is also dead, she may not be able to go to Maoling Mountain again."

Village Chief Lao Li said a lot of things and made everyone confused, and the Gu family looked at him in confusion.

"I know the entrance to Maoling Mountain."

Li Yixin stood up suddenly, everyone looked at her, and Li Yixin hurriedly said: "That day, when the old village chief Li sent us out, Granny Jiang told me, and she gave me a map."

"What about the map?"

The golden bell asked Li Yixin first, Li Yixin shook his head, and replied with a spread of his hands: "I burned it."

Sun Da suddenly remembered what Li Yixin had thrown into the stove, it turned out to be a map to Maoling Mountain, Sun Da looked at Li Yixin and couldn't say anything with his mouth open.

"That's not the same as not saying it!"

This answer was obviously not what Jin Ling wanted to hear, but she just heard her "hum" and didn't speak again, Li Yixin ignored Jin Ling and just said to the old Li village chief: "Grandpa Li, Li Zhong is my father."

"Huh?" Village Chief Lao Li was puzzled again, looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan nodded seriously, and Village Chief Lao Li said to himself: "No wonder I think you are a little familiar, hey, according to the generation, you should call me Uncle Li." Like the eldest sister, you also call me Uncle Li, you all call me Uncle Li."

Village Chief Lao Li was suddenly very happy, and he was no longer so strict, which made everyone weird.

"You're about the same as my grandfather, we should all call you grandpa." Li Yixin said in his heart, wondering in his heart what the relationship between this old Li village chief and his father was.

"We all call people here according to generation, you all have to call me Uncle Li, haha I've waited for so many years and finally waited for you to come." Village Chief Lao Li rubbed his hands and looked very happy.

"What?"

"I can't say a word or two about these things, you all go to sleep first, you stay, I have something to say to you."

Lao Li Village Chief walked over and took Li Yixin and Gu Yan's hands left and right, and then turned back to Lao Osmanthus and shouted: "Old Osmanthus, help the guests make the beds, you can go to sleep when they sleep, I'll stay for a while."

After saying that, the village chief of Lao Li took Gu Yan and Li Yixin away, and they were puzzled in their hearts and followed the old osmanthus to the room on the left.

The golden bell walked and took a last look at the old village chief Li, who hated it so much.

The contract has been sent, and I have been waiting for a few days, but I haven't changed my status yet!
