Sun Chong looked left and right at the two girls who were sitting on the ground with him, and felt a little guilty, "Uncle neglected you, it's getting dark, and I haven't found a place to rest for you, you're hungry!" Liya, I'm sorry to delay your time, you should want to go back to your house early, right? ”

"It's okay, second uncle, my father and mother abandoned me on their own initiative, it doesn't make a difference to me whether that family is there or not, and now you are my only relatives in the world." Sun Liya said calmly, but who knows if she is as calm as she is on the inside.

"Uncle Chong and Sister Liya, don't be in a hurry to be discouraged, you have to think like this, if you don't find them in the village, will they also escape like us and avoid this catastrophe? They may still be waiting for us to be reunited somewhere! Li Yangqing is in a similar situation to them, but he has always used this reason of "if he doesn't see it, he is still there" to encourage himself to move forward, people must have goals and motivation to live alive, otherwise they will be like the walking dead.

"Well, Yang Qing is right, it's me who looks good, I want to see people in life and see corpses in death, it's not good if I don't see it now, let's eat something first, and then go to Liya's house to have a look."

Sun Liya was already hungry, and when the two were talking, she had reached into the back basket and took out some jerky and put it on the small piece of linen spread on the ground, "Come, you guys eat quickly!" Tomorrow we will cook some wild vegetable soup to eat, today is too late, I haven't drunk soup for a long time, and I will change the taste. Sun Liya's emotions came and went quickly, and she had already begun to gather tomorrow's food.

Sun Chong was driven by Sun Liya's optimism, and the three of them sat on the ground and ate, this is the most reassuring food since they went down the mountain for so long, without worrying about the threat of wild beasts, without worrying about the coming of night.

"Hehe, tonight is the most comfortable time I eat, and I don't have to worry about any tigers, wolves, and other scary guys running out, go, go to my house and have a look." Sun Liya got up and patted the dust on her body, and took the lead in the direction of her house.

Sun Liya said that she didn't care about her relatives who abandoned her at home, and her hurried steps betrayed her heart, no matter how vicious her relatives were to herself, it was also a fetter to prove that she lived in this world.

Sun Liya's family and Sun Chong's family are not far away, and the two heads of the family are brothers, so the house was repaired relatively closely.

Now it is completely dark, but for Sun Liya, who is used to walking this way home, she can find the door of the house with her eyes closed, and for her every day, she used to grind the time to go home late, and she didn't want to see her father and brother happy, and hear their joyful laughter.

Whenever Sun Liya came home, the three of them looked at her with the same disgusted look, disgusted that she ruined their happiness, Sun Liya was incompatible with this family, like an outsider who borrowed to live here, sooner or later he would have to leave, how much he wanted to escape from here before, and how much he wanted to return here now.

It didn't take long to walk to the door of the house, the fence around the small courtyard was gone, Sun Liya raised her feet and walked in, remembering that a plum tree was planted at the door, and it was gone.

Under the background of the night, I can't see the big picture of the yard clearly, and I can vaguely see the piles of uneven mounds of earth, but the pigsty that used to be built with big stones at home is still standing completely except for the thatched roof on the top.

Sun Liya stepped forward and touched these stones, the stones in them also have their own merits, my father and mother saw that they had great strength, and they had done such a job as carrying stones, and looked down at the pigsty, the pig that had always been the baby of the father and mother at home was gone, and in the eyes of the father, he was not as good as the pig raised at home, and there was only a heavy stone trough lying in it.

Sun Chong and Li Yangqing were waiting for Sun Liya in the courtyard, Sun Liya looked at the courtyard and came to the two, "Second uncle, sister Yangqing, let's go!" There's nothing to see here, I don't want to stay here anymore. ”

Sun Liya turned around and raised her hand behind the two of them and touched her face, feeling the wetness on her hands, it turned out that she used to hate the place where she wanted to escape early and provoke herself to tears, it was also strange, it must have been a strong wind blowing at night, it must be.

Looking at Sun Liya, who was walking straight forward, Sun Chong felt the same way, seeing things and thinking about people! "Liya, don't rush out in a hurry, it's dark today, let's find a good place to rest, I think we will go to the ancestral hall in our village to rest tonight!" The ancestors of the house were built at a great cost, and it is still quite strong after so many generations, and it is hoped that the house can withstand this disaster and not be seriously damaged. ”

Sun Liya stopped without looking back and whispered: "Okay, listen to the second uncle, let's go!" ”

Li Yangqing didn't speak, this is Sunjia Village, she is not familiar with this place, just listen to Uncle Chong's arrangement.

The three of them went out of the courtyard of Sun Liya's house, and walked forward in the dark, although the surroundings were dark and dark, the moon in the sky was quite bright, and they could be vaguely seen by the moonlight road, but they should be careful of the stones and debris on the ground, and the place where they landed, the village people used to make the village road flat and flat, but now it is different, always pay attention to the feet, someone leads the way to the fast, and it takes a quarter of an hour to arrive near the ancestral hall of Sunjia Village.

When he was about to arrive at the ancestral hall of Sunjia Village, Li Yangqing looked at the ancestral hall from a distance, and sure enough, as Uncle Chong said, it was strong enough, at least much better than other houses in the village that could not see the original style, the appearance was still maintained, it was the structure of a house, and it could be seen from a distance that it was a house, but the roof tiles were gone, and I didn't know what the situation was.

"Big brother, what do you say about the few in that house?"

"Too lazy for us to do it ourselves, when we go to the next village, throw them here to fend for themselves!"

"Hehehe......."

Li Yangqing and the three of them were about to enter the ancestral hall when they heard the sound of someone talking from inside the ancestral hall.

"Slow down, Uncle Chong, Sister Liya, let's not go in first, let's quietly see what's going on inside, you also heard that there are people inside, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, let's put down the back basket first, bring weapons and go over to take a look." Li Yangqing grabbed Sun Liya's hand, who was about to lift his feet to enter, and raised his finger to point to the inside of the ancestral hall.

Sun Liya and Sun Chong nodded, Li Yangqing looked around the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall is composed of three houses, the middle one is particularly large, there is a very wide dam in front of the house, the ground is covered with stone slabs, and the house is made of tile, wood, and stone combination structure, so it is very solid.

The mahogany door of the largest room in the middle stood stubbornly, and the wooden doors of the other two rooms were gone, and looking into the open two rooms, one looked dark, the other accompanied by the light of fire and the sound of people.

Not far from the front of the house, in the middle is a stone memorial arch with cornices that is erected, the stone memorial arch is supported by two stone pillars on the left and right, it is in the shape of "door", and it is a rectangular style stone slab that is placed on the two stone pillars, and the four characters of "Sun's ancestral hall" are written on it.

The ancestral hall is generally well maintained, there are traces of water washing and scraping, the wall has signs of falling off, and there are many trees, bones, sundries, soil, broken tiles, etc. that have been washed over by the water on the stone dam, which are piled up all over the dam.

The roof is empty with wooden beams, there is no tile to cover the roof, there should be some trees on the side of the ancestral hall are now down, the concealment has been lost, it looks very empty, if it is daytime, someone passing by must be able to see clearly.

"Uncle Chong, Sister Liya, we don't go in from here to investigate, it's easy to alarm the people inside, let's secretly take a detour to the back of the house to see how about it?"

"Okay, it's more cautious this way, I'll lead the way for the two of you to follow, be careful not to make a big noise." The three of them put down their backpacks and took the weapons of self-defense, with Sun Chong taking the lead, Li Yangqing and Sun Liya following behind them, and the three of them bowed their heads and bent down to tiptoe around the back of the house under the cover of night.

The three of them cautiously approached the outer wall of the house and walked around, and were about to walk through the largest room in the middle to inquire about the room with firelight, when a sound of "cough, cough, cough ......" came out, which frightened the three of them immediately stopped moving forward, closed their breathing, and pricked up their ears to confirm carefully.

The sound of "cough cough cough ......" sounded again, it felt like this person was going to cough out his lungs, this time it was certain that it was from the middle room, could it be that there was still someone in this large room with the door closed, and the three of them looked at each other at each other's eyes.

Li Yangqing thought that it seemed that he could only go to the room with the fire first according to the original plan, and then come over to take a look depending on the situation, then stretched out his hands and pointed to the room with the door closed, crossed his hands and posed in the shape of "X", and then stretched out his hand to point to the room with the fire, and walked forward.

The uncle and nephew understood Li Yangqing's decision, followed Li Yangqing lightly, and walked to the back of the room, and the three of them first put their ears close to the wall to carefully identify the sound inside.

"Big brother, I'm annoyed, I don't know if it's a tuberculosis ghost inside, he coughs all day long, disturbs Lao Tzu's sleep, Lao Tzu goes to knock and knock them." The voice listening to the voice should be a man, and his voice is a little rough.

"Oh, second brother, those pigs are arguing to death all day long, just kill them all, lest you wake up very annoying, don't you say!" This time it was a shrill female voice that spoke with a coquettish tone, but what she said was ruthless and deadly.

"The fourth sister's face is getting more and more tender, come and touch the third brother, hehe!" Now it was another man's voice that spoke obscenely.

"You two are disgusting, get out of here!" At this time, the voice sounded like a young child, which shocked the three of them a little, and they actually went along with these people.

"Okay, don't make any more trouble, these people are inconvenient for us to do for the time being, there are seven people in it, two of them are fake monks who know how to do some kung fu, if we didn't outwit them at the beginning, can we deceive him? Now although they are tied up by us, we are going to kill them, the rabbits are anxious and bite people, in case they risk death to resist, we can't eat any good fruit under their hands, I said, they are useless things, in a day or two we will go to the next place to find fat sheep, and leave them to starve to death in this dark place. The man who spoke was the man who Li Yangqing heard some deep voices at the beginning, and his mind was sinister and a little city.

"Hahaha, worthy of being a big brother, big brother is wise." The second child, who was in a hurry to jump to beat people just now, stopped thinking when he heard the man's words.

Li Yangqing and the three of them listened to the conversation of these people, and understood the general situation in their hearts, a few of the people who spoke were bad people who did a lot of evil, and the seven deceived people were tied up in the big room, and now there is no need to continue to investigate, they already know the basic situation of the number of people and personnel composition of these two houses, and now it is not suitable for the three of them to risk climbing over the wall to save people.
