2 Southern Anhui Chapter 8: Entering the Village (2)
After we put down our luggage, we walked to the restaurant of the guest house, where an aunt was busy, telling us what we wanted to eat and telling her, and there were a few scattered guests next to us, who were looking at us when they saw us coming.
We each asked for a bowl of rice and a few dishes and sat down at a large table, and a big man at the next table looked at us with interest and asked Li Jing, "What are you here for?" ”
Li Jing replied: "We, we are students, we came to travel during the winter vacation, and I heard that this village has good scenery. ”
When another big man heard this, he said: "In this way, then don't run around, our village is not very safe these months." ”
When I heard this, I handed out a few cigarettes to the big men and asked, "Uncles, what's going on in the village?" It's not very safe. ”
The big men took the cigarette and looked at me, and one of the big men lit it and said to me: "Young man, this is our village's own business, but don't worry, it's safe for you to play here, but don't go into the mountains too much, it's easy to have accidents." ”
I sighed, returned to my seat and said to Boss Ye in Cantonese, "It seems that there must be something wrong with this village, maybe it has something to do with that tomb." ”
Boss Ye replied to me: "I don't know where the little daughter-in-law's family is?" We can go and ask about the situation. ”
Ah Cheng can understand Cantonese, and he can also say a few words to join the topic: "I can go and ask the guy from Sanli Village to see where the guy is, but don't startle the snake for the time being." The village is full of quirks. ”
The three of us nodded, leaving Yuan'an and Li Jing at that with a confused face, I sent a WeChat message to Li Jing, she immediately understood, and replied to me: "Let's go see the mountain later." "I replied yes.
Our meal was brought up by the aunt, it is the kind of home-cooked food that is common in southern Anhui villages, the fragrance is fragrant, the kind that can make people have an appetite at a glance, and we eat very fragrant......
After eating we walked to the outside of the guest house, when groups of village women walked to a place together, and I went up to ask a woman where they were going, but the woman frowned and left without saying a word.
I looked at the direction they left and asked everyone if they wanted to catch up and see, Boss Ye and Li Jing wanted to go, but Ah Cheng and Yuan An told us to stabilize first, and now the village is going around......
If we don't know the place, this is also a good way, so we pretend that we are here to travel, and keep taking pictures of the scenery and selfies, attracting the children who are playing along the street to look at us. I mainly photographed Li Jing as I walked, she was also very cooperative, posing in various poses, or taking photos with me, Boss Ye and Ah Cheng showed a look of contempt for me, Yuan An didn't like to take pictures very much, and kept looking at the village and looking at his mobile phone, Ah Cheng told me that he was asking Chen Gang about the "" situation.
Regarding this Chen Gang, Ah Cheng doesn't know how he joined the buddy, only that he is from this village, but it is said that because he is not a native and an outsider, he does not know this village very thoroughly, but the only thing he can provide is that the little daughter-in-law's family bought it from a family in the southeast of the village.
So, we kept moving to the southeast, there were very few people in the southeast of this village, and the houses were getting more and more dilapidated, and some of them had even collapsed.
We looked around, and soon, Li Jing found that there was a white cloth hanging in a house, it seemed that it was probably here, I asked Li Jing to knock on the door alone, Li Jing politely knocked on the door, but I didn't expect the door to open, and it was a little boy who opened the door, who seemed to be seven or eight years old, followed by two five or six-year-old children, a man and a woman, all looked at Li Jing with a surprised face.
Li Jing squatted down and asked gently, "Little friend, where are your parents?" ”
The seven or eight-year-old kid flinched visibly and muttered, "Daddy is out outside, Mommy ......"
Li Jing hurriedly touched the child's head: "Then tell my sister, do you know where Dad went?" ”
The little kid muttered, "Daddy said he was going to ......" and then shook his head again, "Daddy won't let me say it." ”
Li Jing retracted her hand and stood up: "That little friend, can I come into your house to have a look?" ”
The little boy hesitated, but still opened the door, Li Jing walked in, turned around and signaled to me, and I watched Li Jing step in alone......
After all, I was still a little worried, and I was looking at it secretly, and I didn't even notice that Boss Ye came over.
Boss Ye touched me: "Hey, hey, did you find it?" ”
I was almost scared to death, and I looked back and said, "Found it, what about the others." ”
Boss Ye pointed to the back, Yuan An and Ah Cheng got on a tree, looking at the situation around them. I ignored them, turned around and continued to look at the house, and soon, I saw Li Jing walk out, and hurriedly waved his hand at her, Li Jing made a gesture to go, I would care, and took her to the tree that Ah Cheng climbed, and whispered to him and Yuan An down.
Li Jing looked around and whispered: "I found the little daughter-in-law's house, it was the house just now, there were two rooms in it, all of them were dilapidated, three children were crowded inside, their father didn't know where to go, there was a simple incense hall inside, with a photo of the little daughter-in-law, I secretly took a picture of it, show it to you." ”
As she spoke, Li Jing took out her mobile phone, and there was a black and white photo on it, and a young girl looked at us with a smile...... Yuan An came over and exclaimed: Why is she?
We were all very curious, what was the situation, Yuan An immediately explained to us: "At that time, I was still mixed in the streets of the county, Cheng Shao and A Hao should still be in junior high school, this girl was a friend of a high school girl I knew at that time, and she went to high school in Wuli Town below our county, I asked her out to play several times, she never came out, I heard that the study was very good, and then I didn't go to school when something happened at home, I heard that it was sold, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
I asked Yuan An how he remembered it so clearly, Yuan An looked at me and smiled: "This girl was a school flower at that time, and she was very handsome, of course I remember." Although the photo looks a lot older, the basic appearance has not changed, and I am sure that it is her. ”
When we hear this, we basically know the origin of this little daughter-in-law, but what should we do next?
Li Jing suggested to us: Li Jing and I will take the compass to find the tomb first, and by the way, take a look at Yamagata, Ah Cheng and Yuan An are inquiring in the village, and Boss Ye is staring here.
Except for Boss Ye, who was a little reluctant, we all agreed, and in the end, I had to say something, and Boss Ye reluctantly agreed. The five of us set up a WeChat group, and agreed that if there was a message in this group, we would spread out......
Now the sun is in the west, the time is more than four o'clock, and it will be dark after six o'clock, and we need to do it as soon as possible......
