Sure enough, he didn't go far, turned two small corners, and the sun was still hanging in the sky, and Haizi saw the house at the high post of the shack in Jiangbei. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info He knows that the third aunt must be here, but he doesn't know where it is or what the situation is. Haizi, full of hope and excitement, walked towards the village with anxiety and determination, with a manly expression on his face.

It is a small village built along the riverside high hill, and at first only a few fishermen lived in it, but later there were more fishermen, and even their homes were settled here. Before the rainy season, the road in the village can still lead to the outside, but when the water rises, the village will become an island, and you can't get out or enter. Hai Zi picked a house in the middle of the village and walked to it, he estimated that this household must have come early and had a certain strength in the village. This is not only because the house occupies the most favorable terrain in the village, but also because the house is relatively large in the village, with one room and five rooms.

Haizi came to the yard, a big dog tied to Haizi kept barking, an old man and a young man were sorting out fishing nets in the yard, the young man called to stop the dog, turned around and asked Haizi: "Do you have something to do, who are you looking for?" ”

"I want to buy some fish, someone from home has come." Haizi said as he observed, he estimated that this was a family that was passing by, and it could be seen from the hard work of the two.

"What time is this, and the fish? If you want to buy fish, come tomorrow morning. The young fisherman said.

"Aren't you going to fish now, I'll help you, do you think it's okay?" Haizi said.

"Don't bother the guests, you can come tomorrow morning." The old fisherman said.

"You're welcome, uncle, I also want to see if this fishing is also quite interesting." Haizi walked up to the front set almost.

"Fishermen get up early and are greedy for darkness, and they can't fight more, and they are tired to death, so what's interesting?" Said the young man.

"I'm watching and watching, if you can help, you don't like to support me, I'm idle and fine." Haizi continued to set almost.

"In this way, you and I carry the fishing nets to the river, see if my eldest brother can have any fish when he raises the nets, and if there is, I will sell you some, and don't let you run in vain." The young man said and stuffed a flat pole under a pile of fishing nets: "Dad, you don't have to go, let this young man carry the fishing nets with me, and sell him some fish if you want them." ”

"This young man is quite sincere, so I'll trouble you. If you have fish, sell it to him, we don't have to keep it for food, it's not easy to make a trip. The elderly fisherman said.

Hai Zi happily carried the fishing net with the young man, and walked along the winding path that had already been stepped on, towards the river.

"Your tun is not big, how many households can there be?" Haizi chatted with the young man as he walked.

"More than twenty households."

"All fishermen?"

"Not all, there are also farmers who fish when they are idle."

"Such a small tunzi, if someone comes, you can recognize it at a glance, right?"

"You still need to be born, even if you come to a dog, you know whether it is this tun or not."

"Recently, did you have a woman holding a child in your tunzi?" Haizi asked tentatively.

"What are you asking about this?" The young fisherman came to his senses.

"It's nothing, when I came to Tunzi, I saw a woman holding a child, I asked her about the fish seller, she said she was not from this Tunzi, I don't know which family sells fish." Haizi made up words.

"Just her holding a child alone, no one else?"

"No, wow, just she holds a child alone."

"She's really not this tun. I just came here a few days ago and lived at Sangouzi's house, but Sangouzi and his daughter-in-law Fat Duck didn't let her go out, why did she run out? ”

"The three dogs are also fishermen?"

"What kind of fish are you catching, you don't do anything for two people, you can eat fish."

"So what do you live on?"

"The two moved in a few years and built two small houses on the easternmost hill. No one knows if it's really a couple, the two are more than ten years old, and they don't have children, they don't work all day, and they recruit some people who don't care. ”

"Then you have to be careful, if there is such a family in a tunzi, the whole tunzi will not be at peace." Haizi reminded the young fishermen.

"No one has anything to do with his family, and his family doesn't have anything to do with anyone else." The young fisherman changed the subject as he spoke: "Are you tired, shall we rest for a while?" I'm afraid you haven't done this job, and you can't stand it. ”

"It's okay, it's downhill, let's go." Haizi changed his shoulders and continued to walk forward.

When they came to the river, the young fisherman pointed to the boat that was rowing in the water in the distance and said, "That's my eldest brother, who has just finished his first net, and he will be rowed in a while." ”

Haizi didn't speak, looked back at the village, and said to the young fisherman: "You guys are so clear here, anyone can see it." ”

"Greet people from my yard, you don't need to shout, just wave your hand."

"Those two small rooms are the three dogs' house, right?" Haizi pointed with his finger, pretending to ask unintentionally.

"Exactly. The family doesn't leave the house until they are adults, but they like to eat and often come to me to buy fish, and others are not familiar with their family. After the young fisherman finished speaking, he shouted loudly to the river: "Big brother, are there any fish?" ”

"Not a few. The wind is blowing on the river for a while. "The rowers came to the river and threw the fish in their nets to the shore.

Haizi helped his brothers drag the nets onto the boat, and the young fishermen also jumped on the boat, turned around and told Haizi, "You can call me my father those fish, sell them to you, and my brother and I will cast the nets." ”

Haizi picked up the fish, and carefully observed the location of the three dogs' house while walking to the post, and memorized it by heart. Walking back to the old fisherman's house, after weighing and paying, Haizi hurried away.

Along the way, he repeatedly thought about how to save his third aunt. He wanted to return to the Harasnow Inn, so he quickened his pace, trying to get there before dark. But when he was halfway there, he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that he shouldn't let Xiaohua know about it. If you send Xiaohua back to report the news, you will watch it here, such a small tunzi is easy to arouse suspicion, not only can you not save the third aunt, but you will also get in, not to mention that Xiaohua will not dare to walk at night. Since the third aunt asked me to save her, it means that the third aunt knows that I can do it alone, and there is no danger. There are only two people in the family of the three dogs, and the third aunt and I can deal with it. The most important thing is whether the third aunt wants the master to know about this, but the guys at Deyang Hotel didn't explain it. So Haizi decided to secretly go to the Jiangbei shack tonight to have a look, and inquired about it, and saved the third aunt if he had the chance, and there was no chance to think of other ways.

The sun was about to set, and Haizi was wandering around the edge of a village, which he felt about two miles away from the village, and could clearly hear the dogs barking in the village. Haizi wanted to go into the village to find something to eat, but he felt that it was not suitable, and when he was hesitating, he saw a middle-aged woman, carrying a load full of pig food and vegetables coming out of the field, walking very hard, wiping the sweat on her face with her hands from time to time, looking very anxious, but she couldn't move a little, and stopped to wipe her sweat from time to time.

Haizi made up his mind at this time and went to the village. So he hurriedly stepped forward and said politely: "Auntie, there are too many vegetables for this pig, let me help you pick them." ”

The woman was in her thirties, looked at Haizi with a puzzled face, and said for a long time: "You hurry your way, I can pick it up alone." ”

"Auntie is outside, and I should meet a help on the road, and I also want to enter Tunzi, by the way. Come on, I'll pick it for you. Haizi didn't wait for the middle-aged woman to agree, so he handed her the fish he was carrying, picked up two baskets of pig vegetables and walked to Tunzi.

"You're here to visit the door, whose house are you going to?" The middle-aged woman asked.

"Don't hide it from my aunt, I'm passing by. I was hungry and wanted to go into Tunzi to find something to eat. But I don't eat it for nothing, don't you see that I am carrying fish, fresh, just bought. I still have a few pieces of bread, just to find a family to give me hot heat, the noon food is cold, the stomach is not strong, want to eat hot, after eating, leave, in a hurry. Haizi said as she walked, sneaking in her reaction with her eyes.

"Rest, it's too heavy, it's almost to my house." The middle-aged woman was a little unable to catch up with her.

Haizi slowed down, changed his shoulders, and walked for a while, feeling a little heavy, so he put down his burden and said, "Auntie, you go first, I can catch up with you by taking a breath." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at Haizi, who was already sweating profusely, and said to him, "This child is sincere. Come on, I'll pick a moment. ”

"It's okay, you go, my young man can provoke." After Haizi finished speaking, he picked up the pig food again, walked into the village with the middle-aged woman, and came to her house.

There were three children in the yard, the eldest was a boy, about ten years old, who was busy feeding the chickens and ducks. A girl of seven or eight years old leads a boy of four or five years old to play on the side. Seeing the middle-aged woman entering the hospital, they ran over together: "Mom, you're back, we're all hungry, the big porridge cooked by the eldest brother is ready, wait for you to come back and eat." Mom, you still buy fish? Stewed fish, stewed fish! ”

"Don't grab it, this fish belongs to this uncle. It was he who helped his mother pick up the pig vegetables. The middle-aged woman handed the fish to Haizi.

"If my brothers and sisters want to eat, just stew it for them, I don't have a place to put it, and it will be bad tomorrow." Haizi didn't catch the fish, looked around, and said to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie is really good at it, it's a chicken and a pig, it's too tiring." ”

"Alas, there is no way, how can you not raise it. If the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, eat it at my house, and I'll stew the fish. The middle-aged woman finally spat out and let Haizi eat at her house.

"Thank you so much. I have a few more loaves here, and I'll take them hot together, and I'll leave when I'm done." Look at what else you have to do, I'll help you do some more, and I'll be idle if I'm idle. Haizi was full of joy, and without waiting for people to talk, he carried the pig food to a pot in the yard, looked at the pig food in the pig food tank, and said, "The pig hasn't been fed yet, right?" I'll help you feed the pigs. ”

"You can rest for a while, let the child feed, it's quite buried." The middle-aged woman didn't want to trouble Haizi anymore.

"It's okay, auntie, don't do any work at home." Haizi picked up the pig food bowl and went to feed the pigs. After feeding the pigs, I returned to the yard and saw that the middle-aged woman had cleaned up the fish and was about to enter the house, so she picked up a broom again and prepared to sweep the yard.

"Don't sweep it, I haven't entered the house for half a day, let's come into the house, and the meal will be fine for a while." The middle-aged woman didn't let Haizi be busy anymore.

"It's okay, I'll finish sweeping it in a while, and I'll eat it when my uncle comes back." Haizi insisted on sweeping the yard.

"Uncle? You mean I'm a man. Short-lived ghosts, all dead for three or four years. Otherwise, why don't I dare let you eat here, for fear of gossip. There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and there are some old men who are willing to smell the fish, and they always want to take advantage of me. There is no way, you have to carry some people on your back and live secretly. Seeing that you are very honest and will come to trouble, unlike any bad person, I will keep you. Stop sweeping, go inside and smoke a cigarette and rest. The middle-aged woman said.

"Okay, I'll go into the house after sweeping, you can get busy first." Haizi called a few children to him, coaxed them to play, and swept the yard. When the yard was cleaned, the three children were already familiar with him, and he picked up the youngest child and led the other two into the house together.

It is a small house, and there are kang in the north and south. The middle-aged woman lit the lamp, let Haizi go to the kang, and brought cigarettes for Haizi to smoke. Haizi said that he couldn't smoke, so he turned around and teased a few children. The smell of fish stew wafted into the outhouse, several children talked and laughed, and the hut was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The table was set, Haizi was let into the kang, and the family accompanied Haizi to eat. This fish is so fragrant, the middle-aged woman keeps putting fish in the bowl of Haizi.

"Auntie, you and your younger brothers and sisters should eat, I can't eat much, so much, it's enough for a few of us to eat." Haizi also put fish in the bowls of children and middle-aged women.

"Auntie? Do you think I'm that old? I'll tell you the truth, I'm just thirty-one years old. If the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, just call me sister. After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her face was still a little crimson.

"Not old, not old, not old at all, quite young, that's how I get used to it. My mother is only a sister, and when I see an older person than me, I call my aunt, and I think it's so close. Haizi explained.

"It's tired, hungry and full, and there is no man to nag, can you not be old? Whatever you want, you can scream. The middle-aged woman said with a long sigh.

After eating, Haizi drank some water and was about to leave. Several children surrounded him and didn't let him go, saying that it was dark and he would leave tomorrow, and the middle-aged woman also said that she would rest for a while, and she would leave again when she was tired.

Haizi also felt that it was still early, so he followed them; "Auntie, I've been away for a day, I'm really tired, you see I'll sleep for a while first, and I'll leave after resting, I'm in a hurry." But your home is not very convenient, if the uncle is alive, I can stay overnight. I can only rest for a while today, do you see my aunt doing this? Haizi looked at the middle-aged woman.

"Okay, why not. I'm a half-old woman, what are you afraid of? You go to the north kang to sleep first, when you wake up and when you leave, our mothers are in the south kang. The middle-aged woman spread the north kang and let Haizi sleep.

Haizi was no longer polite, took off his shoes, lay down on the kang with his clothes, and began to sleep with his burden on his pillow.

About the second watch, Haizi got up and saw that several children in Nankang were already asleep when they were crowded together, and the middle-aged woman was wearing only underwear, surrounded her lower body with a quilt, and sat under the lamp doing needlework. When he saw that Haizi was up, he hurriedly asked, "Have you woken up and won't sleep for a while?" I haven't slept yet, I see that you are sleeping soundly, and I dare not alarm you. It's uncomfortable to sleep with your clothes on, so get up and take off your clothes and sleep well. It's almost midnight for me to sleep conveniently. ”

"Alright, it's time for me to go." Haizi went down to the ground and put on shoes.

"Or don't go, it's dark in the middle of the night, and you can't see a way, don't do anything, and you can't delay anything if you leave early tomorrow morning." The middle-aged woman persuaded Haizi: "If you can't sleep with the lamp on, go out to pee now, latch the door, and come back and blow the lamp to sleep." ”

"No, I'm sorry for my aunt. Thank you, I'll go. Haizi picked up the burden and was about to go out.

"You kid, why do you just leave?" The middle-aged woman jumped off the kang as she spoke, regardless of the fact that she was only wearing one pants, stopped Haizi and said, "I've been living for half a night, what are you afraid of." How can there be a half-night walk in the middle of the night, this year is not peaceful, listen to the aunt, get up early tomorrow morning and go again. ”

"Thank you aunt for your kindness, I have to go. Go pick up someone, maybe you can come back before dawn, don't open the door when the time comes. After Haizi finished speaking, he was about to go out.

"If you really go, my aunt will send you off, if you can't go after dark, come back and call your aunt to open the door for you." The middle-aged woman didn't wear a coat either, so she sent Haizi out of the door half-naked.

Haizi left the village and followed the familiar road to the Jiangbei shack. When he was about to arrive at the Jiangbei shack, Haizi untied his burden, took out the gun from inside, put the bullet on the top, inserted the gun into his waist, stuffed the sharp knife into the trouser legs, and then wrapped the burden around his waist.
