Ordinary days always make people feel impetuous, and from time to time they have to find something to do, and when there are more people, there will be right and wrong, and there will be more arguments.

Qingmei's little girl became quieter after experiencing some things, but fortunately, the people in the village were not in the mood to point out others, and the little girl didn't feel much strange eyes from others.

The woman with a long tongue would occasionally babble for a long time, but the Wu family didn't hear it. Helan didn't dare to let Qingmei stay alone these days, and from time to time she would talk or go out for a walk.

Fortunately, everyone in the village knew that the Wu family was not authentic, and when they saw Qingmei, they were even more enthusiastic, and they didn't mention the slightest such thing.

These people do not include Aunt Wang, who wants to lose her temper when she talks about this Aunt Wang's son Helan, who is good-tempered, and wants to come over and say a few words from time to time, but every time she is dismissed by Wu's mother's eyes for cockfighting.

Seeing that he couldn't make it up, he played dumb riddles next to him, saying that he was abandoned, had no face to work, was embarrassed, and said anything he couldn't listen to.

Before she could shout any more, the village chief's wife came over: "Sister-in-law Wang, what are you yelling about?" Let's go, let's go to one side, you whisper to me. ”

Although the farce stopped Helan was still worried, so he whispered something outside the cave with Qingmei and a few village girls, but after a sudden "bang", there was a quarrel in the cave.

Thinking that something had happened to their home, a few people hurried back.

When I got to the entrance of the cave, I didn't dare to go any further, and there was a group of people huhula and cheering inside, listening to the movement as if it was fighting, and there was a faint sound of quarrels.

The village chief listened to the movement and came over, and found a few big men to pull it away.

It turned out to be two daughters-in-law in a family, and there was a quarrel because of food, and it was originally the mother-in-law who complained that the food she brought was eaten a little fast, which also successfully caused a quarrel between the two people.

One said that the other ate more, and the other said that this one ate more than himself.

"Village chief, you give a comment, a meal is just such a thing, one person has such a bowl, more or less that's all, how can you get a little more, don't you want to save my mouthful of food?" I saw that one of the women had her hair scattered, there was a cracked cut at the corner of her mouth, her clothes were also tattered, and there were a few patches, and tears hung in the corners of her aggrieved eyes.

"You made the rice, and you served it, and you said the same? Who knows one more spoonful or one less spoonful? Everyone looked at it again, and the woman's appearance was not much better, her clothes were disheveled, the corners of her mouth were injured, and there were traces of blood on her neck.

After that, he stretched out his guilty hand and fought, and the little girls in Helan looked really trembling, and a lot of their hair fell out.

"Enough, if you make any more trouble, let me go down the mountain, what is there to make trouble, and I will lose your men's face!" Village Chief Wu didn't want to care about this kind of family farce, so he simply moved out of their man, just suppress it, how much is it worth making such a fuss?

As the village chief thought, after saying this, two women and men walked over from behind the crowd, one of them gave a slap, and when he was reprimanded, he quieted down.

After the matter subsided, most of the people in the village couldn't sit still and went to the village chief to inquire about the news.

Qingmei felt that she still had to ask her brother about this, and the village chief probably didn't have as many places as her brother, so her brother still had some knowledge.

"Brother, how long are we going to stay in the mountains?"

Wu Qingzhu's eyes followed his sister's words and floated like a mountain: "Wait a few more days, wait a few days for people to go down and see what the situation is." ”

"It's been half a month, they should have left early."

Wu Qingzhu smiled, shook his head, and didn't continue, because he didn't know how to say it either.

He felt that the people in the village might not be able to escape this time, because it might not be a rogue, and the officers and soldiers were probably rebels. It may be that their county seat was occupied first, as a base point in the back, and then continued to push forward to attack the city.

If you guess correctly, there may be half of the strong men in the village after that. They may have to hand over two people in their family, and then it will be a matter of life and death.

When it was time to cook at noon, Grandpa Wu called Father Wu aside and whispered something to the side, Father Wu nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, and then looked sad, as if he had some embarrassing things.

After that, Wu's father came over and asked Wu's mother to load some food, blocked it with his body, and walked out, and then Wu Qingquan also ran out.

"Mei girl, my mother asks you something." Mother Wu was cooking and pulled Qingmei to her side.

"Mother, if you have anything, just say it." Helan somewhat guessed that some things might be related to his marriage, since Brother Tiezhu divorced him, then he got married, and then he had an accident, so fast that he didn't have time to react.

Although no one in the village said anything, I don't know what they think in my heart? I'm afraid that few people can afford to look down on themselves, and you can see from the few girls who played well before that they have been hiding from themselves for the past few days.

"Mother wants to ask you, what do you think of your Uncle Dashan's eldest son, Wu Tong?"

When Qingmei really heard this sentence from her mother's mouth, she didn't know how to answer it.

"Mother knows your affection, but he is already someone else's family, you still have to live in the future, your grandfather thinks Wu Tong is good, although his family is poor, but down-to-earth and willing to work, and because grandpa is an outsider, he will definitely not dare to bully you."

Wu's mother is 10,000 unwilling to marry her own girl to a poor family, with their family's conditions, if they choose a family, they can pick up from all over the country, but the value of a woman who has withdrawn from marriage has plummeted, and it is good to marry a normal family.

Qingmei pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty? "Mother has the final say, I have no opinion."

Mother Wu touched Qingmei's head with a loving face: "Your grandfather didn't say that it will be settled now, and then talk about it after this matter is over, you can still think about it again, if you don't agree, tell me quickly." ”

Wu Qingzhu on the side couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard that his mother was about to set a marriage for his sister: "This is not in a hurry in advance, and I will talk about it later." ”

Then he looked at the sky outside, looked at the bottom of the mountain, and secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what happened, he must take care of his family.

After three days of calm, everyone's mood became more impetuous, and there were always some people who tried to find something to do for themselves or others.

There are not many traces of the movement of large animals in the place where they are. Occasionally, wolves can be heard at night, but not necessarily when you go inside.

A few half-grown children were idle and bored and quietly avoided everyone and went into the mountain, and several adults did not notice the child's shadow until dark, and only then did they realize the seriousness of the matter.

Li Zheng was also shocked when he learned about this, and hurriedly called the villagers who came to the vigil patrol to ask.

One of the daytime guards vaguely remembered that he had seen it, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Lizheng, then I saw a few boys walking towards the stream." ”

"They must have gone out along the stream, and the young and strong ones got up quickly, and went out with me with torches." The village chief was hurriedly organizing the young men in the village to line up and go out.

Grandpa Wu next to this also spoke: "Don't go out all, leave some people, there are still a lot of old and young women and children here, and no one can guard it." ”

"Yes, yes, Uncle Zhipeng is right, Dashan, you should stay vigil tonight, but you must not be negligent, just order a few more fires tonight, around the entrance of the cave, and then surround the entrance of the cave with a circle of branches and thorn sticks, if we don't come back, you must not come out."

"Okay, don't worry, we'll start working now, you can rest your feet when you go out, and be careful when you walk on the snow-covered ground."

Wu Qingzhu followed the crowd and searched outside, when he saw a few little girls, and if he looked closely, could he have his sister and daughter-in-law.

"Nonsense! Why did you come along! There was also some anger in his tone.

"We were outside the cave at that time, it was dark, and we came out by a group of people, and we finally walked a little and found that it was a little far away from the entrance of the cave, and we didn't dare to go back by ourselves." Qingmei was also a little aggrieved when she said this, and after a few of them went out for convenience, they planned to go into the cave to sleep.

It's just that before I got in, I was startled by the crowd that squeezed out, this mountain road is so big, the road is blocked, a group of people are going out, and they can only follow out.

"Then why don't you shout."

"So many of you are talking, and you didn't hear us when we shouted." What made Qingmei most depressed was the uncle next to her, not only didn't listen to them, but also recognized them as young men, thinking that they didn't want to contribute, and trained them carefully for a long time.

Wu Qingzhu heard what was going on and looked at the way back, so he could only nod helplessly: "Since you've come here, you can't go back, then follow, you follow us, I'll let Qingquan follow you later." ”

Not to mention that there will be no one to send it, it is not good to go back on the way back, in case you encounter something again, you regret that there is no place to cry.

Qingmei and Helan supported each other, and the other little girls also hugged each other and walked together.

Fortunately, the sun is very round and bright today, and there is some light on the snow, so people can see their surroundings clearly after getting used to it in the dark.

I didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of attracting some big guys, and there was no way to lament too far in this small voice, so everyone could only search slowly.

It would have been eight o'clock, and it would be dark all around, and you couldn't see it at all from a distance, and the spirits of the people in this situation were tense.

The most uncomfortable thing is Helan, the ghost stories I have seen before, and the stories of demons and monsters have popped out of my mind one by one.

I can depict the details on my face, and when I see a tree, I think if I am not behind the tree, and when I see a pile of rocks, I wonder if there are any monsters or something, and so on......

Suddenly, a girl didn't know what she stepped on, and she was so frightened that she cried out.

The others also shook their heads, followed by a little sign of crying. Wu Qingzhu took out the torch in his hand and took a photo: "It's okay, it's just an animal corpse." ”

The little girl stepped on something soft and thought it was a snake or something, but she was relieved to hear that it was an animal carcass.
