Chapter 28: Knock on the Door and Don't Open It
I don't know why I thought of what the wolf-friendly old man at No. 94 in the old town told me about a week ago.
"It is not good to knock on the door, and you must not open the door."
When I first heard this, I was worried for a long time, but then I realized that no one came to knock on the door in the middle of the night, so I put this matter in the back of my mind.
I don't know why, but now I suddenly think about it.
Bang Bang
The knock on the door was still fierce, and I shivered, quickly went back to bed, took out my headphones, and turned the volume of my phone to the maximum.
My ears were completely overrun by the music, but I could still hear the knock on the door outside.
I was worried that the lock would be knocked open in the next second, but now I suddenly lost all my courage and didn't dare to step forward to block it.
The knocking on the door outside became more and more intense, and the feeling of almost falling into the reservoir was spread again.
The knocking on the door outside was also persistent, and it didn't disappear until the rooster crowed outside.
I've been sitting in bed all night and my phone is off early.
After a while, the village chief pushed open the door and walked in very anxiously, stood in front of me, and looked me up and down carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He cautiously asked, "I drank too much last night and forgot to remind you of something." No matter who comes to knock on the door, you must guard your door well, and you must never walk over to open the door. ”
I nodded, and before I could speak, there was another knock on the door.
The sun was already shining into the house.
I somehow suddenly got the courage, maybe because of the cowardly behavior last night, but I wanted to make a change of shame.
I searched around the room and finally found a stick in the corner.
I just picked up the stick and walked out.
Regardless of whether it's a ghost or a monster outside, I don't believe what he can do to me in the middle of the day?
Pushing open the door, I raised the wooden stick in my hand, and before I could hit it, I saw an acquaintance standing in front of me.
Xie Daocong stood in front of him wearing a pair of sunglasses, followed by a guide dog.
He stood at the door and sniffed the air, and finally spoke with an affirmative tone: "It turned out to be the driver's brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
It's been a long time since I saw a fart!
I didn't want to see Xie Daocong at all.
The old village chief hurriedly walked out, looked at Xie Daocong, and said in a surprised tone: "What kind of wind is blowing you here today." ”
Then the old village chief hurriedly looked at me: "I originally wanted to introduce the two of you to each other, but now it seems that you are very familiar." ”
Xie Daocong nodded: "I had a relationship with this little brother before. But can you let me go in first, it's not a thing to stand at the door all the time. ”
The old village chief helped him to the room, and told me to hurry up and bring a stool and set it up.
Let's be honest. Seeing Xie Daocong made me feel a little embarrassed.
Because I've been hostile to him all this time, I always feel that he is a ghost who wants to talk about my life, so I've never been willing to contact both of him.
But what is happening now makes me not know how to face him.
After moving the stools and setting them up, the old village chief asked me to hurry to the small restaurant at the entrance of the village to order some dishes, and then asked me to go to the commissary to buy some wine.
"You old boy hasn't come to me for a long time, and you must come here with me today without getting drunk."
It just so happened that I didn't want to stay in the room and follow Xie Daocong, so I quickly turned around and slipped out.
The morning air in the countryside is relatively fresh, I took a deep breath, and I only felt that my brain was much clearer than before.
After walking a few steps, I saw a lot of people in front of the millstone, and from time to time I heard them say a few words, "What a sin."
I didn't have a habit of watching the excitement, but I just glanced at it and turned away.
"Woooooooooo......oo My pig is dead, what will I do with my tuition this year? A little boy's heart-rending voice came.
I was stumped by the cry and turned back to push back through the crowd.
A fat pig was lying on the ground, its contents had been emptied, but its eyes were wide open. Hassle-free
There were a lot of bloodstained ground around them, and there were some intestines hanging from the trees next to them, attracting a lot of flies to fly around them.
The little boy knelt on the ground and looked at the pig: "What can I do, this is my only tuition fee for the next semester, this pig is dead, I can't pay, I can't go to school." ”
The sound of the little boy's cry haunted me, and I couldn't help but think of my previous school experience.
Perhaps because it evoked some kind of memory, I pinched the money in my pocket, took out 500 yuan and handed it to the little boy: "What are the boys crying about, uncle will give you money to go to school." ”
When the surrounding villagers saw this, they shook their heads in a hurry.
"How embarrassed to take your money, hurry up and get your own money back."
But my attitude was very insistent, insisting that the little boy take back the money.
The little boy completely stopped his tears and gave me a Young Pioneer salute.
“…… The red scarf on the chest is more colorful......"
I don't know why, this sentence popped into my head, smiled, reached out and touched the little boy's head, and I turned around and walked in the direction of the village tavern.
As I walked, I thought that the old village chief was really a dime iron rooster, and took my money to buy his fame.
Sure enough, it's cunning.
I hadn't walked a few steps when a small-footed old lady suddenly walked in front of me and blocked my way: "I see that this young man of yours is too eye-catching, what is the purpose of your coming to our village?" ”
I knew that some villages had xenophobia, so I turned around and pointed to the old village chief's house: "There are some things that come to the old village chief. ”
The old lady looked at the old village chief's house twice, and finally fell on me: "I see that you are a young man who is also very sensible, but I advise you to leave here as soon as possible." ”
The old lady with little feet looked very nervous, and kept looking from side to side as she spoke, as if she was afraid that someone else would find out that she was talking to me.
At the end, she dropped a sentence: "Young ...... You'd better pack your things and go back. ”
She looked at me and nodded, then turned to leave.
However, I had no intention of turning away.
I came here this time with the purpose of finding a snake-faced jade figure, and I will never leave until I find something.
After all, this is one of the necessary conditions for my survival!
When I came back from shopping, the old village chief and Xie Daocong had already drunk the rest of the wine from last night.
The old village chief saw me standing at the door with something in his hand, with some reproach: "Why are you young man so slow...... Forget it, sit down and try my handiwork, which is guaranteed to be better than what the head chef of the city restaurant makes. ”
I simply responded and found a place far away from Xie Daocong to sit down.
I still don't have a good impression of him, and although he reminded me a few words, I still think that his purpose is not pure.
After three rounds of drinking, I suddenly thought of knocking on the door, and turned my head to look at the old village chief sitting beside me: "Old village chief, which guy was yesterday who dared to come to your house and knock on the door, do you want to clean up the other party today?" ”
In such a relatively remote place, the old village chief has a very high prestige.
When the old village chief heard this, he looked at me with a mysterious look: "You don't care about this matter, because it's not a person knocking on the door at all." ”
"Oh...... Could it be that there are wild beasts near this village? ”
The old village chief picked up a glass of wine and handed it to me: "Don't ask about this matter. I should have reminded you last night, but I didn't expect that I drank too much and forgot about it. ”
"If you want to continue to walk around the village, then you must remember that as long as the sun sets, you must not be outside, otherwise you will not survive the second day, even if you are wandering outside."
The old village chief's tone of voice was subdued, as engaging as a storyteller.
I was about to continue asking when I suddenly felt a pain in my foot.
I looked up and saw Xie Daocong "looking" at me with sunglasses, the corners of his mouth twitched down, signaling me not to continue asking.
This old blind man seems to really have some ability.
He actually stepped on me with one foot.
But thinking of what he reminded me last time, I also shut up and just bowed my head and drank.
The wine in this village is more mellow than the wine outside, and the taste of sorghum is in the mouth, not spicy to the throat.
I thought that when I left here, I must buy some back, and sing to Mo Feng what is the real sorghum wine, so that he would not dislike my beer in front of me all day long.
The old village chief drank very lightly, and he got drunk before he got off the table.
