Chapter 126: The Visitation 3
Xiaowangzhuang is not big, the main body of the wall is rammed with soil, and the outside is built with green bricks, which can prevent it from being damaged by rain, and there is only one gate in and out of the whole village, the gate is about six meters high and four meters wide. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is probably due to the problem of construction cost, so there is no aisle between the wall and the wall on the top of the gate, that is to say, from this side of the wall to the gate of the wall, you have to go down and then go up to walk to the wall on the other side. It's troublesome, but it's easier than building a small castle tower.
There were two rejection horses at the gate of the village, and three or four villagers sat or stood at the door. Most of them are empty in their hands, and the only one is holding a wooden gun, which is a wooden gun that is like a fake, whether it is a gun head or a gun shaft, it is simply the same wood, and the gun head is nothing more than sharpened, it is okay to scare the people, but it is really difficult to deal with bandits. There are a few weapons on the side of the wall not far away, looking at the distance between Xiang Yong and the weapons, if they really encounter a surprise attack, not to mention whether these rusty-looking weapons are effective, whether they can get the weapons in the first place is a big problem.
"Stop, where did you come from?" Xiang Yong, who was carrying a wooden gun, shouted first, and several Xiang Yong who were chatting on the side also saw it and stood up and went to get the weapons separated by the wall. Because Tian Yani and Tan Lian wore relatively close-fitting clothes, they looked extremely sexy in this gang of old men, and they thought they were women in the leather and meat business, and they all wanted to come and rub some oil.
At this time, Tian Yani saw clearly that it was nothing more than some shuttle labels that had rusted and were about to be deformed, and there was even a three-pointed two-edged knife, and there were actually two small iron rings hanging on it, maybe it was used by a troupe. It's okay for these things to scare and scare the common people, but it's an absolute joke to use them to fight a war.
"From Dongfang Port," Tan Lian replied as he stared at a few villagers who were looking at her.
The townsmen were obviously flustered, Dongfang Port was like thunder for them, Xiaowangzhuang was not far from Anyun County, and dozens of the townsmen who attacked Dongfang Port before Anyun went from Xiaowangzhuang, because these townsmen were responsible for pushing vehicles, except for a few unlucky people who were caught at the beginning, the others all fled back, and the firepower of those thieves in Dongfang Port was a change of color. Therefore, as soon as these villagers heard that they were from Dongfang Port, they immediately became full of smiles and hurriedly surrounded them.
"What are you doing here?" One of the villagers who took the lead smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face, and asked as if he was courteous.
"Come to someone, Penlingte, where does he live?" Tan Lian didn't talk much nonsense, and asked directly.
The villagers who were asked were all stunned, and they couldn't help but be curious, Peng Xiucai went to Dongfang Port to buy grain the day before yesterday, and they all knew about it. However, I heard from the person who came back yesterday that he didn't buy food, and it seemed that he went to touch the prize, and at first he touched dozens of taels of silver, but then he lost it all.
Then there were rumors in Zhuangzi that Peng Xiucai couldn't figure it out and jumped into the sea, and some people said that Peng Xiucai wanted to turn over his book and go to the business district to grab money, but he was arrested and sent to a labor camp...... Anyway, it was said that Peng Xiucai couldn't come back, and this rumor reached Peng Xiucai's mother's ears, which made the old man fidget at home for a day and finally couldn't help but prepare to go to Dongfang Port to find his son.
Unexpectedly, Peng Xiucai came back that afternoon, and it was still sent back by three policemen from Dongfang Port in a car, and there were several large bags of grain that came back together, or the three wigs were carried all the way in. Looking at Peng Xiucai's smug face, everyone didn't know what was going on. Acquaintances came forward to inquire, but Peng Xiucai smiled and said nothing, and it didn't take long for Xiucai's mother to go to the traveling merchants in the village to buy some things with a smile.
All the people were stunned, because the price of short-term workers had risen too high during this time, the small days of short-term workers in Xiaowangzhuang at this time were quite nourishing, but those small landlords were so poor that they were clanging one by one. Because those hired short-term workers don't have a doorkeeper, everyone now knows that Peng Xiucai's family is really gone after buying food, but his mother ran out to buy things, where did the money come from? Could it be that he threw a shot?
But everyone vetoed this possibility again, they have seen a lot of people who have thrown their heads, which one is not going to shave their heads? They all shave their hair like a head, otherwise why do you call them thieves? But Peng Xiucai's head is still so lush now, and there is no sign of shaving his head? Then you must have met a noble person in the Oriental Port.
So someone remembered that yesterday three wigs helped him carry food into the house, and he left without even drinking a sip of water. Looking at the appearance of the three bearded people, if they are not soldiers, then there is only one possibility, they must have been sent by the big officials of the bearded people.
Since a woman with a beard came to find Peng Xiucai at this time, several villagers immediately put the trick on, and the little leader hurriedly nodded all the way and led the two women to Peng's house.
After walking through the walled gate, there was no sudden opening in front of me, Xiaowangzhuang covers an area that is not large, and the houses inside are even more crowded. Most of these houses were made of wood and then built with adobe walls. There are several houses in the distance that have collapsed, it is estimated that they were drenched by the rain when it rained, I don't know if the owner also hung in the house together, but it is certain that these collapsed houses have been placed there for more than a year and a half.
The little leader looked at it and hurriedly said: "That is the house of the Lin family and the Mu family in our Zhuangzi, which was washed down when it rained heavily the year before last, and the whole family died in it, and no one dares to touch the house until now, and they all feel unlucky." ā
Tian Yani couldn't help but read two sentences of Amitabha, and felt uncomfortable for a while, such a house was a dilapidated house in the old time and space, and even the houses that did not collapse now were dilapidated houses, if the Senate was here, the entire Zhuangzi would have been demolished and rebuilt.
Tan Lian's face was also not good, she shook her head and said to Tian Yani, "If this were not our Dongfang Port at all, there would be no such dilapidated houses at all, you see here, the sanitary conditions are so bad, there must be frequent epidemics." ā
"The two girls are really powerful, they actually knew that we had an epidemic here as soon as they looked at the house, and Peng Xiucai's father died of a sudden fever during the plague last year." The little boss chimed in. "If it weren't for his father's illness, Peng Xiucai's family would not have reached this point today, in order to treat the disease, he sold hundreds of acres of land outside the village, who knows that in the end he still couldn't save it, and now the person has no land, and now there is no money."
At this time, there was a pit facing the sky on the side of the road in front of her, Tian Yani couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, there were a lot of rice fields piled up in it, presumably it was the fertilizer that the family was going to use to fertilize the field, and she was afraid that someone would steal it, so she specially dug a pit at the door.
The second girl had no choice but to shake her head and continue to walk forward, and there was a muddy puddle not far from the front, and the two children were squatting there boredly and playing, and their bodies were very thinly dressed. Although the winter here is not particularly cold, it is absolutely impossible to stand such a single clothes, and the two of them can't help but take a few more steps in the direction of the child.
At this time, a black man suddenly rushed out, "What are you doing?" Startling the two of them, Tan Lian stretched out his hand to the holster.
The black man unequivocally guarded the two children, "Who are you?" Why are you close to my daughter? ā
Tian Yani didn't have any interest in watching this black man, her interest was attracted by the girl's appearance. Before the black man could say the next sentence, the little leader hurriedly stepped forward, "Ma Kui! How do you talk to the adults of Oriental Harbor? ā
Although Ma Kui was a little frightened, who knew if these two strangely dressed women were really thieves? Besides, even if they are, they are still thieves! If you steal your daughter, where will you find it? Although he didn't dare to speak viciously anymore, he still continued with a look of unyielding, "These are my two daughters, the child's mother died early, who is watching if I don't watch?" ā
Tian Yani ignored him, just squatted down and stared at the girl squatting on the edge of the muddy puddle, the two little girls looked like the eldest was no more than seven years old, and the younger one was only about three or four years old, she keenly felt the strangeness of the little girl at this time. Although this little girl is also squatting on the ground to play, she feels a little groggy, her little face is red, but it is definitely not a healthy red, and she will cough slightly from time to time, and you can see that the snot is running long, and the corners of her mouth are slightly cyanosis.
Tian Yani walked over quietly, did not alarm the little girl who was playing, and carefully looked at the little girl's fingernails on the side, and sure enough, the nails also had some slight purple. At this moment, Ma Kui was a little uneasy, and hurriedly stopped between Tian Yani and the little girl, and shouted loudly, "What are you going to do?" Even if you're a thief, I won't let my daughter go with you!" ā
Tan Lian also began to realize that something was wrong, although she didn't say that she was a child at this time, and she didn't even have a boyfriend, but this little girl's mental malaise was not normal at all, she hurriedly pushed Ma Kui away and approached the little girl, and directly reached out to touch the little girl's forehead, which immediately shocked her into a cold sweat, and couldn't help blurting out, "It's so hot!" ā
Tian Yani also became nervous, hurriedly stepped forward and touched the girl's forehead, stood up and shouted at Ma Kui, "How did you become a father?" Your daughter is seriously ill now, you know? Why did she only wear a thin dress on such a cold day? Now I have a severe cold, if I am not mistaken, I may have pneumonia, and I may die if I delay it for two more days! ā
Ma Kui was stunned for being scolded, he knew that his youngest daughter had been sick for several days, but he was just a tenant, and he had long been overwhelmed by the rent at this time, and the price of short-term work this year was extremely high, he didn't even have a copper at this time, what should he take his daughter to the doctor? My wife died in childbirth when she gave birth to her second daughter, and when she heard that her youngest daughter's illness was not far from death, she couldn't help but feel sad and suddenly knelt on the ground and cried.
