Chapter 10: Thirty Years Ago
"If I'm not mistaken, your big name should be Huo Guang, Brother Huo, although you are not in good shape, but I am not a person who picks mouths, since I have seen it, my sister will be your person in the future." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Hua Bumei came to Huo Guang, looking at her big face, Huo Guang was so frightened that he hid behind Baili Liang.
"Are you...... Brother Baili, I'm Ren Xiaofang. Ren Xiaofang lowered her head and sighed, and the two blushes on her face did not retreat.
"Well, I know your name." Baili Liang didn't want to ignore others, but he didn't want to be too enthusiastic, so he went up a wooden step and nodded lightly.
"Really?" Ren Xiaofang suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Baili Liang.
"Sister Xiaofang, are you well?" Baili Liang also looked directly at her.
"I ......" Ren Xiaofang was about to say something, but was dragged by Hua Bumei.
"You two will make out again when you have time, Xiaofang, there is no one in the kitchen now, let's go get something to eat." Hua Bumei pulled Ren Xiaofang away. Ren Xiaofang looked back at Baili Liang in three steps, but Baili Liang didn't look at her again.
"It's weird!" Wan Fugui was silent, and at this time, looking at Hua Bumei and Ren Xiaofang's backs, a look of incomprehension flashed on his face.
"What's wrong, brother?" Huo Guang saw that the flowers were not flattering and left, and let out a big sigh.
"Come into the house and talk." Wan Fu Fu Road.
Huo Guang's room was in the middle of the second floor. When the three of them entered the room, the tables and chairs in the room were crooked, and even the simple wooden bed was turned over, and the quilt was pressed to the ground by the crooked bed frame.
"What's going on!" Huo Guang and Baili Liang stared in surprise, but Wan Fugui's expression was extremely calm. The three of them cleaned up with their hands, and the room was already shabby, and it was quickly cleaned up.
"Brother Wan, if you have anything to say, just say it." Baili Liang moved a stool for Wan Fugui.
"Brother, although my brother likes to hear people's words, but he doesn't talk about people's affairs, you two are familiar with these two girls?" Wan Fugui asked.
"It's not familiar, it's just a little thing that happened in the middle." Baili Liang is a person who knows people, he can see that Wan Fugui is warm-hearted, and he is not a villain who plays with right and wrong, so he told him everything about bathing.
"Haha...... I see, but I've traveled south and north, but I've never heard of any village with such rules." Wan Fugui first laughed, then shook his head and said, "One thing I'm very strange about, how did these two girls escape the black lacquer print? ”
"When I went out in the morning, I heard Sister Hua say that Xiaofang was sick, so I stayed, thinking that I had escaped." Baili Liang also noticed.
"You actually called someone Xiaofang! Elder brother...... Brother, are you also interested in that ugly girl with a yellow face? Huo Guang covered his mouth and smiled.
"Brother, don't be joking, it's just a smooth call. Brother Wan, what do you know? Baili Liang saw that Wan Fugui was still shaking his head.
"No, brother, you probably don't know, when you were called in by Lan You'er, those soldiers of Twilight Rain Ren drove out all the people in the town from house to house, and made an inventory, I secretly estimated that the number of people brought over by Twilight Ligament was nearly 10,000, and the total population of the whole town was less than 2,000, they acted quickly, and there could be no omission. At that time, all the old and young women and children were registered, except for children under the age of 10 and the elderly over 70 years old, both men and women had black paint marks on their faces. When I was rushed to the queue, the owner of the inn and his family were behind me, and since the boss's family had been kicked out, there was no reason for the two girls to escape. "Wan Fugui said.
"Perhaps...... They really dodged it. "Baili Liangdao.
"Brother, I have already said that Twilight Rain has a lot of people, and his own soldiers are different from us rogue soldiers, all of them are well-trained and skilled, it is difficult to get out of under their noses, you see that your room has been turned upside down, even if they are clever, where can they hide?"
"Well, that's right." Baili Liang admired Wan Fugui's observation, and then said: "I met them in Pingshui, and I didn't want to ask, and I didn't want to ask." Brother Wan, since they have a way, we admire it. ”
"Well, since you two brothers have nothing to do with them, I can't take care of other people's affairs. Little brother, I don't think this mine is simple. ”
"Brother Wan, say it." This is what Baili Liang wanted to hear, and he and Huo Guang both pricked up their ears.
"Early in the morning, when we went out separately, I went to the patriarch's house in the town, but the patriarch was not at home, and I heard from his family that he was called away early by the official family. I asked the woman of the patriarch if she knew what kind of mine was dug here, and the woman was about fifty years old, and shook her head and said that she had never heard of mining in this barbarian town since she was a child, and I saw that she was not like a person who spoke falsely, so I asked her who was the wisest old man in the town, and the woman pointed to a family, and said that the old man of their family was the wisest and longest-lived in the town. So I went to find the old man named Gu Kai, who was over ninety years old and spoke in a strong voice, and I could see that although he was old, he was not confused, and he was very wise, so I talked to the old man.
The old man told me that this town has never been out of the mine since ancient times, he was a small official in the town when he was young, he knew the town's terroir well, he checked the classics, and also did field research, this barbarian town is an ordinary town, except for the wind and sand, except for the clouds and loess that day, in addition to the wilderness, it is a person with two legs and two eyes.
I was very disappointed, and was about to leave, when the old man stroked his beard again, and said, he remembered a strange thing that happened thirty years ago, but I didn't know if that strange thing had anything to do with what mine I asked, so I quickly asked him to tell him.
The old man told me that thirty years ago, a group of people came to the town unexpectedly, and they were dressed not like soldiers of the imperial court, but like some kind of bandit gang, but there were many of them, nearly a thousand. The men, each with a large sword with a sharp blade in their hands, looked vicious, separated the town from the east and west, and did not let them go to the east, and forbade them to go out at will, but to report to their people when they went out, and only if they agreed, they could go out of their house, or else they would be killed. It went on like this for more than two months before those people retreated.
As soon as those people left, the people in the town went to the east, wanting to see what those people had been busy with in the past few months, of course the old man also went, and they found that the soil was still that soil, and the sand was still that sand, and it seemed that nothing had ever happened, but the old man was a man of many hearts, and he found that the position of a few small trees had changed before, and there were few trees in this barbarian town, and he had watched those trees grow since he was a child, so he remembered them clearly.
The old man was silent on the surface, and secretly took a shovel and dug down near the small tree, and he found that the soil under the ground was newly filled, which means that the small tree had been dug up before, and then planted again, but those people did not remember the location of the tree and planted it wrong. The old man suspected that there was something strange under the soil, but when he dug and dug around, he saw nothing but dirt or dirt. He continued to dig for months, and then stopped digging. ”
