Chapter 55: The Village (8)
Even though it was night, a group of people poured into the village, or woke up the sleeping village, the lights of a house were turned on, the sound of dogs barking, the lights of every house were turned on, and some people pushed the door out of the house one after another to look at the village.
After a while, a group of people came over, and in the middle of them was an old man with a gray beard, and the old man had a peaceful face, and he understood when he saw the servant and a group of people in dirty clothes.
"The poor master is passing by here, right? It's getting late, so if you don't dislike it, you can rest in the village for the night. "The old man's surname is He, and he is the village chief of Tao Village.
Dong Guan looked at the villagers who came over, didn't see anything wrong, looked at Mrs. Kong, and unconsciously Dong Guan had subtly put the decision on Mrs. Kong, Mrs. Kong bowed slightly, Dong Guan then hugged his fists and thanked the village chief, because there were too many people, and the farmer's house was not big, and finally he was taken to the ancestral hall at the east end of the village to rest.
After three days of running and another day of fear, now that they have seen people and a place to rest, everyone is finally relieved.
They are in the west of the village, to go to the ancestral hall to pass through the village, after entering the village, you can see that each family has a curious probe to look out, some even come out to look closer, some bold and in twos and threes together to talk to each other, and Kong Heren and Kong Guangzhu have been bowing their heads to drill into the crowd.
Old Lady Kong gritted her teeth and whispered, "What are you doing?" ”
Kong Heren blocked the villagers' sight with his sleeves and whimpered, "Shame." ”
Mrs. Kong: .....
On the other hand, Kong Yun on the side still had a piece of grass in his mouth, looking ruffian, "Father and aunt cry like this, grandfather will feel ashamed, right?" ”
Kong Heren's eyes widened, and anger rushed up, "Unfilial son." ”
Kong Yun nodded, "Father is self-aware, so it can be seen that there is still salvation." ”
Kong Heren was like being stepped on by his tail, "Unfilial son, little beast... Oh... Father, why did you hit me? ”
Old lady Kong withdrew his stick, but before his knife-like eyes could be withdrawn, Kong Heren pursed his mouth tightly, covering his beaten arm and not daring to make a sound.
In the end, Mrs. Kong glanced at her grandson with warning, and then turned around, the honest Kong Yun saw his grandfather turn around, and then looked at Kong Heren next to him with an aggrieved face, "Father saw it, and grandfather also agreed with his son's words." ”
Kong Heren: .....
On the side, the Li family called Brother Yun, and Kong Yun was quiet.
After such a fuss, Kong Guangzhu didn't forget to be embarrassed, he looked at his brother with his mouth open, Kong Heren looked at him, pouted aggrievedly and cried again, "Sister, you still know brother." ”
Kong Guangzhu took two steps to the side, with a look that I am not in the same group as you, Kong Heren's eyes widened, as if he had been hit, his sleeves covered his face, and he cried again.
All:......
Mrs. Mo sighed with emotion, pulled Li Shi and whispered, "Master Kong didn't cry today, I was quite worried, and now that he is crying, I have let go of my heart." ”
Li nodded, "Well, it's normal." ”
Mrs. Mo nodded, feeling the same way, how can it be normal not to cry.
The corners of the Mo family's father and son in front of him twitched, in front of everyone, Mo Shangshu really didn't want to shut up his wife, and the corner of his eyes swept to the old lady Kong on the side, seeing that the old lady Kong's lips were a little tighter than just now, I wondered if my wife was adding to the fire.
Kong Yan and Lu Lian walked at the back, Brother Ye lay in Lu Lian's arms, Brother Ye had already slept for a while, he was very energetic at this time, a pair of eyes were round, Xu entered the village, and the child also felt safe, looking around curiously.
But after only a while, he retracted listlessly into Lu Lian's arms.
Kong Yan teased him, "Why is Brother Ye unhappy?" ”
Brother Ye shrank into Lu Lian's arms, Lu Lian lowered his head and said softly, "Auntie is talking to you, why don't you speak?" ”
Brother Ye raised his head again, and blinked shyly on his bun-like face, "No friends." ”
After speaking, he shyly slipped back into Lu Lian's arms.
Lu Lian rubbed his head gently, "Wait until you get to the place,... My aunt finds a lot of friends to play with Brother Ye, just like when she was in the house, okay? ”
Brother Ye snorted, and his immature voice made people's hearts soften.
Only then did Kong Yan understand that Brother Ye didn't see a child as big as him, and he would be lost if no one played with him, and while laughing, his heart was also a little uncomfortable, such a young child had to go through this, and now he hasn't been out of the customs yet, and when he gets out of the customs in May, the sky is still cold, and that's when he wants to die.
Lu Lian glanced at the side of the house, his expression paused slightly, and then he looked carefully, then withdrew his gaze, and lowered his head without knowing what he was thinking.
The group soon arrived at the ancestral hall in the east, and everyone was stunned.
It is really the ancestral hall built very grand, the houses in the village are all built of stone and do not say anything, but the ancestral hall is like a two-story small building, to walk in, there is no second floor just one floor, the space is large enough to accommodate a hundred people.
The ancestral hall of a village is so big, it is even bigger than the ancestral hall of a century-old family.
Even though Mrs. Kong was well-informed, he was also shocked by the ancestral hall in front of him, he put his hands behind his back, and walked into the ancestral hall with everyone.
There are only two small oil lamps in the ancestral hall, but the ancestral hall is big and high, and the two oil lamps can only illuminate the darkness in front of him, as if the sunlight shines into the well, only the place as big as the wellhead is bright, and the surrounding area is pitch black and does not know the depths of darkness.
It's scary.
Kong Guangzhu rubbed his arm, "Father, it's better to live outside." ”
This ancestral hall is even more terrifying than the outside.
The village chief, who led everyone in, had already spoken, "I'll wronged everyone to stay here for one night tonight, and I'll have someone send some bedding to eat later." ”
Kong and Mo were squeezed into the last circle, Dong Guan saw that there were prisoners in the middle, even though he felt that the ancestral hall was panicked, but when he thought that the old lady Kong nodded, he did not object, and thanked the village chief, who left two oil lamps and took people away.
In this way, the ancestral hall was quieter, and no one dared to move, and they were exhausted from rushing here, but they did not have the heart to sit down and rest at this time, and looked around, but unfortunately it was dark and they couldn't see anything clearly.
Dong Guan walked up to Old Lady Kong, "Old lady, do you want to rest here tonight?"
Old Lady Kong nodded, "If you come, you will be safe." ”
In fact, after leaving the white mist, Mrs. Kong has never been steadfast in her heart, and now when she sees such a magnificent ancestral hall, the worry in her heart is getting heavier and heavier, but the matter has not happened yet, and it is not easy for him to say it to cause everyone to be nervous.
Dong Guan misunderstood, thinking that Mrs. Kong's words meant that it was okay, and immediately reverted to the usual appearance, shouting that everyone was resting, and warning not to move around, so the servants got together, and a few people were sent by Dong Guan to go to the mule cart to get things.
