Sanxi followed the troupe, went out of the Wangzhai Pass, obliquely inserted the Chong Gong on the side of the highway, and entered Qili Chong.

During this season, many villagers go to work in the fields. In the village, only women, the elderly and children wandered around. When a few dogs saw the stranger, they raised their tails and barked, and several women screamed in fright and hid behind the men.

Sanxi drove away the dogs with sticks, and made the two brothers stand on the high slope by the threshing floor, and sound the gong and shout loudly. The villagers of good deeds gradually gathered around.

Some villagers asked: "We didn't invite you either, who pays for your performance?" ”

Sanxi smiled: "This is a celebration play, a charity performance." Dawang Mountain has hit the devil hard, and it is long overdue to celebrate with the villagers. ”

The villagers were a little worried: "You performed in Lijia Village, and the devils retaliated and turned Lijia Village into a no-man's village." Hero, we can't afford to hurt, please go back, thank you for your kindness. ”

It seems that the devils have not been beaten away, and the villagers have palpitations.

This three joys are well known. The villages on the other side of the highway were turned into fortress villages by the guerrillas and the volunteers, but due to geographical reasons on this side of the road, the Younan team and the volunteers had no time to take care of it for the time being, so the devils did not necessarily look for trouble with them.

Sanxi said with a smile: "Qilichong is different from Lijia Village. Because Lijia Village is adjacent to the turret, the devils have been repeatedly attacked and hold grudges, but Qilichong is different, just an ordinary village. We performed a lot in Meihe, and there was no revenge from the devils. ”

The people of Eastern Hubei love Huangmei Opera, and Sanxi's explanation dispelled the doubts of the villagers, and soon many villagers gathered on the threshing floor in the village.

Although the village is not large, there are seventy or eighty people, but now there are only thirty or forty, and half of them have not come.

Sanxi whispered to Shi Guoquan: "Brother Eleven, I'll go to each house." ”

This is what Zong Tao meant, and Shi Guoquan nodded in agreement.

Sanxi took two brothers and went door-to-door to invite ......

In the west of the village, there is a low tiled house with a hidden gate. Sanxi knocked lightly on the door, and there was no sound inside.

Sanxi gently pushed, the door opened, shouted a few times when he entered the door, but there was still no sound, there was no furnishings in this room, the owner was not at home, too lazy to lock the door, maybe this is the reason.

Sanxi was embarrassed to enter the back room, shouted again, and exited the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with a simple face standing outside the door, and nodded to him with a smile.

This person is the disguised landlord Sun Xiaoping.

"Looking for me?" Sun Xiaoping sighed softly.

Sanxi hurriedly smiled and made amends: "Fellow, I'm sorry, I saw that your door was empty, thinking that you were at home, and you broke in recklessly, please forgive me." I'm here to invite you to the play. ”

Sun Xiaoping shook his head with a smile: "My house is surrounded by walls, there is nothing valuable, and I am not afraid of others." ”

Sanxi laughed.

"The fellow is very funny, with a high surname?"

Sun Xiaoping hesitated for a while, and finally said: "My name is Sun Xiaoping." ”

Sanxi casually asked, "How many fields have you planted?" ”

Sun Xiaoping lowered his head embarrassedly and whispered, "It's only a few points." Not long ago, the old lady passed away, and now she is alone, and the whole family is not hungry. ”

Sanxi smiled: "Don't want to marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Sun Xiaoping smiled embarrassedly: "My family is like this, which woman is willing to enter the door." ”

This home is indeed bad, Sanxi sighed secretly.

"Did you work in the field just now?" Sun Xiaoping shook his head: "No." I'm clumsy, and no one wants to ask for it. I heard the sound of gongs and shouts just now, and I couldn't help but be curious and went for a ride. It's been a long time since I've heard Huangmei Opera, and you guys are really a godsend. ”

This man is still very elegant. Sanxi looked at him for a moment.

"Then fellow, please hurry up, the stage is set up, and the show will start."

Sun Xiaoping said: "Okay, I'll take care of the housework and go over." ”

Sanxi and the two brothers said goodbye to Sun Xiaoping, went to a few more doors, and when they were about to reach the threshing floor, they suddenly saw a piece of grass being pulled out on a low dirt slope in a secluded place, and it was not a cat or a dog.

Black Fox Mark!

Sanxi was slightly frightened and furrowed his brows. I thought that person was very suspicious, she was there last time, but today she didn't go down the mountain, so who left this mark?

Three joys, one happiness and one worry. That person was not a black fox, which made Sanxi feel very relieved. But the black fox is said to be in the cottage as early as the cottage, so who is this person? It's foggy!

Sanxi hurriedly ran back to the threshing floor. Shi Guoquan was setting up a stage with a group of brothers, and many villagers also took the lead. Sanxi pulled Shi Guoquan to no one's place.

"Brother Eleven, did anyone leave the troupe just now?"

Shi Guoquan shook his head: "We were busy, we didn't notice." ”

Although Shi Guoquan ranks in the eleventh place of the cottage, he is indifferent and rarely cares about the affairs of the cottage, so Sanxi is not surprised by his ignorance.

Sanxi was a little anxious: "So has anyone noticed?" ”

Shi Guoquan said: "You go and ask Jin Ling or the fifth sister-in-law, they can't do this hard work, they are idle." ”

Sanxi raised his head and saw Jin Ling and Lu Binghua sitting under a big tree, talking and laughing together.

The people in the Lu Binghua opera troupe are not very familiar, and Sanxi recruited Jin Ling.

"Did you see anyone in the troupe leaving the threshing floor alone?"

Jin Ling was a little confused, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"No one left the threshing floor?" Sanxi asked again.

Jin Ling suddenly remembered something and giggled: "There is one, she left the threshing floor because she was in a hurry." ”

"Who?"

Jin Ling smiled: "You big men, you really like to get to the bottom of it." The fifth sister-in-law was convenient for a while just now. ”

Sanxi couldn't help but ask urgently: "How long and which direction?" ”

Jin Ling raised his finger, and Sanxi's heart collapsed, and it was the direction that he found the black fox mark.

"Probably tea."

Tea time, hands and feet are numb, tear off a piece of turf, draw the not too pictographic case, enough time.

"Do you want to call the fifth sister-in-law to ask?"

Sanxi hurriedly shook his head and advised: "Xiaoling, don't tell the fifth sister-in-law about what I asked you just now." You go over first. ”

Jin Ling glared at Sanxi in disgust and turned around.

Sanxi's heart sank. Looking at Lu Binghua looking at this side under the tree, I couldn't say it for a while.

Lu Binghua has lived beside Kazuo Yamaguchi for a long time, and she is Zhou Yongsheng's aunt's wife, a large family, and she is used to enjoying a comfortable life, but now she suddenly came to the cottage, it is difficult to guarantee that she has no special purpose.

But I didn't see her behaving abnormally in the cottage, not to mention that He Dashan loved her very much, how could she say this?

Sanxi was stupid for a while, and finally secretly decided that for the sake of the great cause of the cottage, he couldn't hide this matter because of He Dashan's identity.

Sanxi summoned the two brothers and told them to patrol the field.

You all stood at the back of the yard and watched carefully for the unusual behavior of the villagers. If there is any situation, do not alarm them, quietly follow them. Put a clever point. One of the brothers asked, "If you are sure that it is a devil, do you want to arrest it?" ”

Sanxi shook his head slightly: "No." The captain confessed and put a long line to catch a big fish. ”

The two brothers nodded, and scattered around the theater.

Sanxi decided to keep an eye on Lu Binghua. However, it is far away from Lu Binghua.

The play started, and Sanxi saw Sun Xiaoping slowly walking into the threshing floor.

Sanxi looked at Sun Xiaoping's back and smiled faintly. This man is not only naïve, but also lazy.

After the two performances, it was almost dusk. Sanxi didn't go to the villagers' house for dinner, and said that there was something wrong, so he hurried back to the cottage.
