"You ...... Who to look for? Grandma and Aunta are not at home, we are at home...... Only...... Two...... Ayi...... Don't dare to give it to the living...... Open the door ......"

Yang Huairen took a closer look, it was a teenage girl of the Yi nationality, and there was a six or seven-year-old male doll behind him who squeezed his head forward, seemingly wanting to see who was coming outside through the crack in the door, but the little girl pushed him hard, actually protecting his younger brother behind him.

From their intermittent words, Yang Huairen roughly guessed that their Chinese language might not be good, and when he opened the crack in the door, he found that the person who came was dressed as a Han person, so he used jerky Chinese to answer the person.

This means that her parents are not at home, and only her and his younger brother are left at home, so Yang Huairen knocked for so long, and their sister and brother just hid behind the door and listened to the movement outside, but they didn't dare to open the door.

Maybe it's because women have an instinct to get close to their children, so after Lan Ruoxin knocked on the door, the little girl had the courage to open a crack in the door, but even so, her eyes were still full of fear of strangers.

Yang Huairen is a person who has just become a father, and seeing such two children is naturally full of love, which inevitably makes him think of his pair of children, so he smiled and stepped forward to speak, but unexpectedly, Lan Ruoxin put his hand behind his back and waved, signaling him not to scare the two timid children here, it is more appropriate for her to communicate with them.

"Little sister and little brother, the five of us are merchants, not bad people, and we went south on the main road outside, but suddenly it rained.

I thought that such a light rain was nothing, but I didn't expect that it was such a thin and dense rain that soon made the mountain road muddy and difficult to walk, so we had no choice but to take this path to your village.

Little sister, look at the sky, I don't know when the rain will stop, my sister is soaked, I'm going to be sick, can you let us go into the house and leave to take shelter from the rain? Well, we'll give you some money, okay? ”

Lan Ruoxin deliberately slowed down the speed of speaking, spoke very clearly, and the tone was very gentle, the little girl seemed to be a little hesitant, her hand held the door panel tightly, it seemed that she wanted to open it, but she didn't dare to open it, but she saw that the people outside the door had indeed been soaked in clothes, and she was a little worried that they would get cold if they continued to get wet in the rain, and she was very conflicted in her heart.

At this moment, two men, an old man and a young man, appeared behind Yang Huairen and the others, they were all wearing thick black clothes, covered with a felt to protect them from the rain, and their heads were wrapped with black cloth, and their hair buns were particularly strange, like combing an upside-down sheep's horn, but that made their image seem a little scary.

The old one is in his fifties and nearly sixty, in fact, he can't see it from his face, it is the dark skin on the back of his rough hand that shows his age, and the other young man should actually be a child, with a delicate face, but his eyes look very green, and he is estimated to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

They lowered their voices and asked nervously, "Who are you?" What are you doing in our village? ”

Yang Huairen didn't understand their etiquette, so he had to use Han etiquette to hug his fists first to express his respect, and then patiently said what he had just said, and after speaking, Yang Huairen deliberately raised his arms and turned around, indicating that they had no weapons, let alone malicious intent.

In fact, the weapon in the hands of the old man and the young man is just a wooden gun made of wooden branches, which can only be barely regarded as a weapon, and seeing Yang Huairen greeting them is very respectful and humble, it really doesn't look like a bad person, so he dispelled some vigilance a little.

Yang Huairen saw that their faces had changed slightly, so he slowly took out a few silver beans from his arms, "We can't get on the road, so we have to find a place to spend the night, there is some money here, you can take it, find us a house that can shelter from the rain and stay for a while, is it okay?" ”

The older one seemed to be still puzzled, and the younger one's gaze directly avoided the silver beans on Yang Huairen's outstretched palm, but looked at the burden of dry food on his back on Tianba's younger brother and said, "We, we want dry food, not money." ”

Yang Huairen heard him say this, and his heart could be regarded as a little gratifying progress, to be so annoying and cold rain all the time, it was really uncomfortable, so he hurriedly put away the silver beans, turned around and took the burden on the back of Tianba's younger brother.

There are small burdens in the big baggage, and the dry food is actually some biscuits and snacks made by Yang Huairen, as well as ordinary cooking cakes, all of which are classified and packed with small bags.

He took a bag of about five cookcakes and handed them forward, and immediately saw the longing in the young man's eyes, and his throat moved, and he swallowed his saliva.

The older one was relieved at this time, judging from the dress, language and attitude of these people, they were indeed not malicious, but, as they said, nothing more than a group of Han people passing by on the main road outside the valley.

The older man finally let down his guard, walked to the door of the house, and shouted, "Ayi open the door", and the two children in the house immediately opened the door and shouted to the visitor, "Apu, Onaija, it's good that you are here." ”

"Ayi, Ajiru, let them in."

Only then did the little girl leave the door open, and then looked at the five strangers outside, flashed to the side, and motioned for them to come in.

Yang Huairen and the others finally walked into the house, there was no light in the house, so it was very dark, and it took a while for the eyes to get used to it before they could gradually see the furnishings in the house clearly.

In fact, there is no furnishings in the house, in the middle of the main house, a pit was dug in the ground to build an earthen stove, because the stove is not lit, so the house is not much warmer than the outside, and there are a few simple stools around the stove that can no longer be simple for people to sit on - in fact, it is a few square stakes, and the rest is nothing.

From the outside, the house is quite tall, but if the internal structure is divided into levels, then each floor is not so high, on the left is a dilapidated wooden ladder for going up and down the stairs, and on the right there is only a basket made of dried stems of unknown plants for storing things.

Yang Huairen was just about to sigh at the difficult living conditions in this village in the mountains, but he found that the clothes of the two children were also thin, the black and gray cotton jacket was already very worn, and the one on the boy's body was obviously one size bigger, and the jacket was almost pulled to the top of his feet.

The most pitiful thing about them is the padded jacket, which is not cotton or anything else that can keep warm, but what emerges from the broken hole is something that looks like a softer weed, and they wear this kind of padded jacket to keep warm in winter.
