Chapter 130: Mountains Have Trees, Trees Have Branches
At noon, every household in the village also started a fire to cook rice, and the smoke curled up, permeating the mountains and forests and wilderness. It's like a dream, like in a painting.
Ye Feng and Su Wanyu followed the old woman all the way to the mountain, and what they saw and met, whether it was cooking on fire, chopping wood and carrying water, or washing and weaving, planting vegetables and cultivating fields, all of them were women. Old, small, ugly, beautiful, immature, mature, tall, short, all women in yarn-dyed coarse cloth and short-sleeved shorts.
Damn, this won't be a daughter country, right? Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh and looked at Su Wanyu beside him. Obviously, she also discovered this phenomenon, and the two of them looked at each other, and they were surprised in their hearts. But it shouldn't be anything, right? In these days, all the men who can run and jump, who will stay at home, won't they all go to the city to work! But there is clearly not even a boy in this village, which has to make Ye Feng and them think about it.
After walking for about ten minutes, the old woman stopped in front of an old bamboo building and called out a name in her distinctive voice. Although Ye Feng couldn't understand the local dialect, she still knew that the name she shouted was Kong Lanting.
No one answered, but a middle-aged woman in her forties came out of the bamboo building. When she saw Ye Feng and Su Wanyu, she was slightly stunned, and then looked at them with inquiring eyes.
"Are you Kong Lanting?" Ye Feng asked uncertainly, and when he saw the other party nodding, he took out the embroidered purse from his backpack and handed it over, saying, "A friend from Nandu asked me to bring it to you." ”
That Kong Lanting took the purse, didn't even look at it, just nodded slightly, and turned around and walked towards the bamboo building. This bamboo building in southern Yunnan is different, because of the hot and humid climate, the first floor is usually without walls, only piles erected on the ground. The staircase leading to the second floor is where people live.
Kong Lanting went up to the second floor and was about to enter the house, but he turned around again, stared at Ye Feng and asked, "Since you sent this thing back, it means that she is definitely not in this world." I want to ask you, what about that wild man? Is he dead or not? ”
Looking at Kong Lanting's eyes at this moment, Ye Feng's heart was a chill, he was kind and kind just now, why is it that now he seems to have changed his face, and his fierce spirit is vicious. Wild men? Dead or not? He didn't know, and Su Xingchen's woman didn't tell him. How to answer this? He opened his mouth, hesitated, but still said out loud: "I don't know! I'm just entrusted by people to be loyal to people. ”
"I hope you didn't lie to me!" That Kong Lanting said coldly, then turned around and entered the house, closing the door by the way.
Ye Feng's heart was depressed for a while, what kind of person is this mother, she kindly sent her such a valuable jade fetus, how did she repay herself? Looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky, he couldn't help but ask, "Old woman, is there a restaurant or farmhouse in this village?" "They had walked for hours to find this place, but they were so tired and hungry that they would not have the strength to go down the mountain without eating.
The old woman smiled and said, "There are no restaurants, and there are no farmhouses." If you are hungry or tired, come to my house
Eat something and take a break. But~, if you want to go down the mountain before dark, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”
Ye Feng and Su Wanyu glanced at each other, and they were both shocked in their hearts. What are the rules? But thinking that they are all women in this cottage, they can't do anything to Ye Feng. Although there is an evil aura everywhere in this cottage, since they have already come, there is nothing to be afraid of, so let's go to this old woman's house to eat something and rest for a while.
As the saying goes, art masters are bold, and he Ye Feng can be regarded as a master when he asks himself, besides, there is Ah Huang, Wang Li is on call, do you still need to be afraid of them?
"Mother-in-law, have all the men in this village gone out to work?" Su Wanyu finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart and asked out loud. The old woman who led the way smiled slightly, turned her head and glanced at Su Wanyu, but did not answer. A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. It's really good to go out to work, at least I can come back during the New Year's holidays, and there is still a hope. But the truth is, there are no men in this village, not even a male baby!
After a while, they stopped in front of a bamboo building facing the water and the mountain. The old woman turned around and said to Ye Feng, "Wait a minute. Then she went upstairs and into the room on the second floor.
About ten minutes later, the door on the second floor opened, but a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl came out. When she saw Ye Feng, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a charming smile. Then he walked down the stairs and made an inviting gesture to Ye Feng.
Upstairs, it turned out to be a leisure tea house, during which there were bamboo tables and wooden chairs, two pairs of lanterns hung on the roof, and a few pots of unknown flowers and plants in the corner. The old woman was sitting upright in the court, waving to Ye Feng and them. So, Ye Feng and Su Wanyu walked over and sat at the same table with her.
The girl offered fragrant tea, but there was only one cup, handed it to Ye Feng, and said with a smile: "Please use it slowly!"
"This...?" Ye Feng was a little embarrassed, he didn't drink it, and he didn't drink it. In his early years, he heard the great monk say that there seems to be a ethnic tribe in southern Yunnan, and their courtship method is to serve tea to male guests. Regardless of the number of guests, the woman to be married in the family served tea only to the man she liked. When you drink, you agree to someone's marriage proposal; If you don't drink it, the great monk didn't say what the consequences were.
Just when Ye Feng was embarrassed, the old woman sitting on the table smiled awkwardly, and then spoke: "The rules in the village are that only male guests can drink tea; If you are a female guest, you can drink some alcohol. It doesn't mean anything else, so don't get me wrong. ”
"Oh!" Ye Feng suddenly realized, and then quickly took the cup of tea. I thought, it turned out that it wasn't the tea for the marriage proposal, grandma's, it scared us a lot. Taking advantage of the fact that the little girl and the old woman were not paying attention, he quickly shook his cuffs, revealing a silver needle, poked it in the tea, looked at its color, and saw that it was non-toxic, so he was relieved to take a sip.
Fragrant, sweet, smooth, moist, soft, refreshing! Sure enough, it was a good tea, and it was a fight with the tequila he drank at Tang Youfu's place. From time to time, there are meals served, and they are some local delicacies that cannot be named, southern Yunnan cuisine. The old woman said, "Please! Then he picked up the dishes and chopsticks with Ye Feng, Su Wanyu, and the beautiful little girl.
It is said that there are many showers in southern Yunnan, and it is true
While he was eating and drinking, the sky was full of dark clouds, thunder, and in the blink of an eye, a heavy rain poured down. Ye Feng secretly screamed badly, how could they go down the mountain after this heavy rain? The village is extremely weird, if you really want to spend the night here, I'm afraid something will happen. He looked at the continuous raindrops, and his brow couldn't help but furrow.
"As I said, if you want to go down before dark, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. How's that, believe it? The old woman looked at Ye Feng's deep brows and smiled slightly, she actually had an unfathomable feeling.
Uh~, the leaf wind stops the air knot. He thought the old woman was talking about someone in the village, or some rule that didn't allow them to go down the mountain before dark! It turned out to be talking about this heavy rain. It's really a person who can't look good, and the sea can't fight. This unstellar old woman didn't expect to have the ability of this unpredictable prophet. Is it because you have lived in this mountain forest for a long time and are you accustomed to the climate of this rainforest, or are you already familiar with the magic of I Ching divination?
"Rest here at night! Wait until tomorrow when it clears, and then it's not too late to descend the mountain. Then the old woman turned and went into the room. The little girl stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, looking full of interest. After washing, he made another cup of tea for Ye Feng, and then he sat down with a shy face and said, "Outside..., okay?" ”
"What?" Ye Feng was slightly stunned, what do you mean? She asked if it was okay outside? Where does this mean out there?
The little girl didn't get the answer she wanted, obviously a little lost, but because of politeness, she had to repeat the previous question, saying, "I'm asking, is it okay outside?" What's in it? How did you get to this southern Yunnan? By train? ”
Ye Feng smiled, it turned out that she was talking about this. "Airplanes! How slow it is to take the train. He said.
"Oh, that must be expensive, right?" The little girl had obviously never been on a plane, and her tone was full of envy, but more of jealousy.
"It's not expensive." Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "If you want to sit, I can invite you." Airplanes, trains, ships, no problems. ”
The little girl's big eyes blinked and blinked, very moving. However, she turned her face to look at Su Wanyu next to her and said, "Then what should she do?" ”
Ye Feng was stunned, what do you mean? She was a little dazed, and for a while she didn't understand the meaning of the little girl's words.
"Are you a couple?" The little girl did not dwell on the previous topic, but continued to ask, "Do you love her?" ”
Ye Feng smiled, looked at Su Wanyu, who was blushing and pretty, nodded very seriously, and said, "We are boyfriend and girlfriend, we are lovers, I love her, not her mother." ”
The little girl snorted and laughed, and even the old woman, who was about to push the door open, couldn't help but laugh. It's just that she smiled a little bitterly. Once upon a time, she also had a beloved man, and that man also swore an oath to her and made a promise. It's just that she chose to stay in the village in the end. Because the people of their village, once they leave this mountain, this water will quickly age and die, without exception. She loved, hated, and was hysterically suspicious. But what about the result? It took less than a month to go down the mountain, and he suddenly grew old like he is now. Hate? Hate. But who should she hate?
The mountains have trees and branches, do you know that you are happy? Love is destined to have nothing to do with them. 2k reading web
