Chapter 42: Into the Village
After Zhang Jianguo and Guo Jianjun got out of the car, the eyes of Li Xiruo were completely different from those after seeing Guoguo, with complexity and fear in their eyes. Instinctively, she was five meters away from Li Xiruo, for fear that she would be followed by some ghosts or something.
Zhang Jianguo didn't dare to talk about what the eldest sister was called at this time, although he hadn't figured out how to call Li Xiruo, but he didn't dare to call him anymore when he called the eldest sister, as long as he thought of Li Xiruo opening his mouth and the scene of the female ghost next to him, he felt that his face was pale and he was covered in night sweats.
Li Xiruo obviously didn't have any psychological burden, only glanced at the two of them slightly, and motioned to Guoguo to look at the two people, don't let the two of them have weak legs and fall out of a bad way, just don't have a bodyguard.
There are a lot of rocks near the village, and the car can't drive at the entrance of the village. Li Xiruo and the others walked for half an hour after getting out of the car before they found the entrance of the village, but Li Xiruo stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the houses made of thatched grass everywhere in the village, and frowned imperceptibly, what age is this, this village is still so poor, it is the poor mountainous area a thousand years ago, and it is such a standard of living.
Li Xiruo pointed to the Ranshi Village, turned his head and asked Zhen Ming beside him, "You grew up here?" ”
Zhen Ming also knows that the village is poor, especially after seeing the prosperity of the big city, and understands how backward her hometown is. The reason why she was able to study at the beginning was because her mother went to work in the county seat hundreds of miles away, so she reluctantly let her study in elementary school in the county, and the later high school and college almost survived by her scholarship and work-study.
Zhen Ming nodded and said, "I grew up in the village when I was a child, and my parents took me to the county seat after I was in elementary school, and I rarely came back after that. After I got married, my grandfather was not in good health, so my parents moved back to the village to take care of my grandmother. ”
Li Xiruo bowed slightly, looking at Zhen Ming with a bit of appreciation in her eyes. Li Xiruo also lived in the village when she was young, and the village where she was born was not wealthy, otherwise she would not have been sold to someone else's family as a child bride when she was just born. She knows very well how difficult it is to study in such a poor village, and how hard it takes to get into university.
In this kind of poor and backward, patriarchal rural area, Zhen Ming is a girl, and she can let her family provide her all the way to finish college, and being favored is on the one hand, on the other hand, it also shows that she is very talented in reading, and a middle school student will never let the family grit their teeth for her to study.
Zhen Ming saw that Li Xiruo not only did not look at the disdain of the poor in her eyes, but also had a faint appreciation, and she was happy in her heart, when she told her first love about the situation at home, she didn't forget how the other party looked down on her.
She led the way first and said to Li Xiruo: "Master, I'll show you the way, let's go to the village to find a guide first." I haven't been back for many years, I was still young, and I have long forgotten about the situation in the ten miles of mountains, and I am not a hunter, and I rarely go to the mountains. If we want to go into the mountains, we still have to find someone who is familiar with the terrain. ”
Li Xiruo didn't know much about these things, she hadn't been out of the house much since she followed the master, and she didn't know much about whether she should be familiar with the terrain when she entered the mountain, but after listening to what Zhen Ming said, she nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way." ”
Zhang Jianguo and Guo Jianjun, who were following Li Xiruo, saw Li Xiruo in front of them constantly talking into the air, and the whole person was not good, and that creepy feeling came up again. Although they had already seen Zhen Ming once and knew that Li Xiruo was followed by a female ghost, they couldn't help but stand on end when they saw Li Xiruo like this.
Don't look at the road outside the stone village, it was difficult to walk, and it took half an hour to walk in after getting out of the car. The inside of the chaotic stone village is not big, because of poverty here, there are often people who die in natural and man-made disasters, so there are not many people who survive here, there are only dozens of families in a village, and it is only a quarter of an hour to walk around the village.
When Zhen Ming took Li Xiruo and the others to Niu Orion's house, the door of Niu Orion's house was wide open. Zhen Ming stopped with some doubts, she knew that although there were not many people in their village, their families were poor, and it was inevitable that some hungry children would steal an egg and touch a nest to fill their stomachs, so every household locked the door very tightly, and there was absolutely no reason to open the door.
When Zhen Ming stopped thinking about it, he saw a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old man come out of the room, and shouted at Li Xiruo and the others, "What are you doing?" What are you doing standing on my doorstep? ”
Zhen Ming is already a ghost, she doesn't take the initiative to show up, others naturally can't see it, and Guoguo is the same. Therefore, in the eyes of this man, it is a little girl of eighteen or nineteen and two men in their thirties wandering in front of their house, not knowing what they are doing.
Li Xiruo glanced at Zhen Ming, saw that she didn't react, and thought that she had left the village when she was a child, and estimated that she didn't know the person in front of her, so she said: "We are businessmen who come here from other places to collect medicine, passing by here, we want to beg for saliva to drink, I wonder if the eldest brother can make it convenient?" ”
When the man saw that Li Xiruo was outstanding, young and young, and his voice was clear and clear, like a fairy who had fallen into the world, he couldn't help but feel good. He has lived in this village all the year round, and all he has seen is a country woman with rough hands and feet, when has he ever seen a beautiful girl like a fairy, he hurriedly put away his previous rough voice, and said softly: "Convenient, convenient......"
The man muttered about convenience, and at the same time turned around and walked to the water tank in the yard, he took a big step, stepped over in less than two steps, lifted the lid on the water tank, picked up the water scoop and scooped a scoop of water, turned around and walked back to Li Xiruo's side. It's just that when he arrived at Li Xiruo's side, he looked at the water ladle in his hand, and then looked at the fairy-like little girl in front of him, his face was slightly red, and he retracted the hand he handed out.
Li Xiruo looked at the water scoop in the man's hand and was also a little speechless, he thought that the other party should at least get a cup, or bowl, pour himself a glass of boiled water, and let the three of them sit down and rest for a while. Who would have thought that the other party would directly make a scoop of raw water for her to drink. It's just raw water, the water scoop is black, and the water in the scoop is also muddy, Li Xiruo feels that she really can't drink it.
The man obviously realized this, so he withdrew the water in his hand, blushing and not knowing what to say. Li Xiruo sighed, and was about to say something to solve this embarrassing situation, when he heard a middle-aged man's shout from the house: "Tiger baby, who is coming to the house?" ”
