I searched for bugs/listeners in the house with Huzi and found nothing.

After we got back to the East House, we sat down, and we went through it from beginning to end, and we always felt that something was wrong. I'm almost certain that our whereabouts leaked from when we bought the train tickets.

Huzi was holding the train ticket in his mouth, and was hit by someone, and Huzi's change fell to the ground, and his mouth was opened, and the train ticket also fell. The man went to pick up the train ticket as soon as possible and handed it to Huzi. It was at this moment that we saw our destination.

Then there was the woman, a woman who came back to her parents' house with such a small child, which was very abnormal in itself, and sat next to me and asked me to help watch the child. How big is this, aren't you afraid that I will take the child away? Now human traffickers are rampant, and a child is said to be able to sell for three or four thousand.

That's it, but when I arrived at the train station, I met a girl who was chased by two men as soon as I came out.

This woman was helpless and followed me to the house.

After doing such a thing at night, I said goodbye without saying goodbye.

I have to wonder ah!

The problem now is whether we can go to Dalonggou or not, and there is no one around us who is staring at us.

Huzi and I spent the rest of the day in the village, and after dark, we made our decision. You still have to go to Dalonggou.

This is the good thing in the countryside, once an outsider comes to the village, soon the whole village will know about it. Through this day's observations, no strangers came to the village.

The old men squatting at the entrance of the village can prove it. They could clearly tell what outsiders had come to the village in ten days.

After dark, there will be no one left, and as long as there is a living person in the village, almost all the dogs in the village will bark.

At night, as long as the dog barks, every family will come out to watch, and outsiders have nowhere to hide.

After a day's observation, there were no outsiders in the village, that is, no one was staring at us.

At this time, Huzi and I began to think that we were suspicious and complicated to think about simple things. We made a decision, and early the next morning we set off for Dalonggou.

That night, we ate green onion flatbread and egg soup at my third aunt's house.

After eating and drinking, I left a hundred yuan for my third aunt and told her that I would go back to Beijing/Beijing tomorrow.

When we got home, Huzi and I fell on the kang and had nothing to do. This rural area is not as good as the city, and at night there is nothing to do but stare at home. This is to catch up with the power outage, if there is a power outage, there is not even a light.

Huzi and I both went out of the countryside and knew about the situation. At eight o'clock, they fell on the kang, and after chatting a few words, they each took a copy and flipped through it.

Early the next morning, Huzi and I packed up, set off with our bags, and went straight to Dalonggou.

This Dalonggou is more than 50 miles away from my home, there is no shuttle bus in the village, we walked to the county seat and took two hours, to here, we took the shuttle bus to Qinhuangdao, after getting off at the station, we inquired all the way, and finally arrived at Dalonggou at three / half past in the afternoon.

When Huzi and I repaired the river, we lived in an old man's house named Erzhu'er.

This old man has no children, no daughters, no fathers, no mothers, no wives, and is over 60 years old, but his body is still quite strong. But he doesn't brush his teeth, he doesn't shave his nose, and every time Huzi and I are afraid to talk to him, he has a mouth, which is similar to the smell of the toilet.

However, these two old people are very kind, and they have cared for us in the past few days. Huzi and I are still grateful to him from the bottom of our hearts.

When we lived here, the government gave him a subsidy of two catties of coarse grain and one catty of fine grain every day. We can't eat this food, and the rest is all for the second child, so he always feels that he has taken advantage of me and Huzi. He doesn't think it's a valuable thing to cook on the kang for us, in his words, staying is also staying, it's nothing more than filling an extra handful of firewood and adding an extra spoonful of rice.

Now the river has long been repaired, and the people have withdrawn. The big dragon ditch fell silent all of a sudden.

Huzi and I carried a cigarette from the official hall, two bottles of wine and two cans of food into the village, and we were recognized by people, and they all said that they looked at us familiarly. After we introduced ourselves, we both remembered it immediately.

We said that we came to see Erzhuer, and suddenly someone ran to find Erjiaer.

When the second pick-up is fine, he likes to play cards, he is a five-guarantee household, and the government will subsidize him with a few dollars, and he will use this money to play a long card of one and two points.

This long card is similar to mahjong, but the gameplay is different. We call this kind of play here Youhu. I don't know what to call it elsewhere.

The magic of this long card is that you don't need to look at the pattern on the card at all, just look at a mark on it to know whether it represents 30,000 or 5 of a kind. It takes a good memory. But those old peasants who can't read a big word can remember it, and Huzi and I didn't remember a few with great effort.

When Er'er heard that the two of us were coming, he immediately put down the cards in his hand and trotted home.

The family usually doesn't come to the house, but when he finally came to visit him, he was very excited and very enthusiastic. Let's wait at home, he went to cut a piece of meat and came back, got me and Huzi a pot of pork stewed vermicelli/zi, and fried the white jumping fish from the river with a large sauce.

In the evening, after the wine and food were served on the small kang table, the three of us sat down, and the old man said, "Why do you two remember to look at me, a bad old man?" ”

Huzi smiled and said, "Second uncle, we are not people without conscience. You were so nice to me at the beginning, and we shouldn't have come to see you! ”

"Count you kid with a conscience." Er'er pointed at Huzi and laughed.

After three rounds of drinking, we got to the point, and I said, "Second uncle, does this Nansha River have to send water every year!" ”

"Water must be issued in July every year, and the water has been much smaller than before in recent years." Er'er said.

Huzi said: "When the water is released, will it wash down some big trees or something?" ”

When the second picker heard the music, he said: "There is everything, as long as the water is distributed, you can pick up everything when you go to the river, and the most you pick up is the sand and fruits in the mountains." It's not tasty, but it's not bad to chew when you're idle! ”

Huzi said: "Second uncle, have you rushed down anything else?" ”

Er'er was also drunk at this time, and he was unsuspecting of the two of us. He smiled and said: "Yes, in the year of eating a big pot of rice, the village needs to build a big canteen, and the most lacking thing is wood." It rained heavily overnight, and the next morning there was a lot of water in the river, and guess what! By the river, I lay neatly on the fine wood of the riverbank, the purlins of the house were straight, and the rafters were as thick as thighs. It is said that this is the mountain god knows that everyone is in trouble, and the mountain god sent it down. ”

As soon as Huzi and I heard it, we knew that this was sent down by the mountain god, and it was clearly a flood that washed away the Oolong Palace!

Huzi said, "Is the canteen still there?" ”

"Ah, after the big pot of rice is yellow, it will become the warehouse of the production team, and all the submersible pumps of the production team are placed in it."

Erzhu'er looked at the two of us at this time and laughed, and then suddenly stretched his head over and whispered: "I haven't said this to anyone, you two wait, I'll show you two boys your second uncle's baby!" ”

As he spoke, he put on his shoes and got off the kang, then lay on the ground and pulled out a wooden box from under the board cabinet. The wooden box was very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out, and it was a little bit to move it out.

The second picker pointed and said, "Guess what's in here!" ”
