Chapter 59: The Village (12)

Your people?

Village Chief He's words made the atmosphere weird.

He Cunchang's wrinkled face stiffened, "Not your people?" ”

"Isn't Li Zhuang your villager? He also brought us food last night, came with the villagers, and came again in the morning to deliver a letter, saying that you were sick. Dong Guan opened his mouth, also frightened.

Village Chief He was even more confused when he heard it, "There is a thick fog here in Taocun every year at the beginning of May, and the villagers rarely come out, and the grain stored in the winter is almost the same, just waiting for the peach blossom wine made of peach blossoms to be sold before buying grain." ”

Speaking of this, Village Chief He seemed a little embarrassed, "I have the intention to send food to all the officials, but the food is..."

Kong Heren poked his head out from behind, "One sentence can explain it, around such a big bend, you just say that you are poor, and you haven't let people send you food." ”

All:.....

That's the reason, but can't you just say it?

Or the village chief who kindly took them in.

Old lady Kong glared at him, Kong Heren immediately retracted his head, but he was not honest, and pulled Kong Guangzhu and asked in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

Kong Guangzhu shook his head, "That's right." ”

Looking at the two of them with a 'yes' look, the corners of Mrs. Kong's mouth twitched, and she only hated that it was not suitable in front of her, and the stick could only be idle.

The atmosphere was not right, Kong Heren's words did not embarrass Village Chief He, he said urgently, "Poor master, you are mistaken, someone really sent you food?" ”

Dong Guan's forehead was already in a cold sweat, and he couldn't let go of his face to wipe it in public, and his heart was anxious, "How can this matter be wrong, are those people not your villagers, is it possible that they are from another village?" Why did you bring us food for no reason? ”

Village Chief He was frightened, "There is only one village nearby, Taocun, and my ancestors have lived here for generations, and there is no one who knows better than me." ”

The meaning of the accident must be that Dong Guan made a mistake.

Dong Guan didn't have the heart to argue with him about this now, he turned around and looked at the old lady Kong in the crowd, the old lady Kong bowed his head, Dong Guan understood, he turned back to look at the village chief He, "Village chief, thank you for taking in last night, but we still have to hurry, if we can't get to the side within the time limit, we won't be bad, these prisoners will also be punished, I won't stay longer today, and I forgot that the village chief found a guide to lead us back to the official road." ”

Village Chief He shook his head, "I can't go out, unless the fog clears, no one can get out." ”

Dong Guan snorted coldly, "I don't believe what the village chief said, if he really can't get out, how did the village chief get here?" ”

Village Chief He was not angry when he was questioned, he touched his waist with his hand, pulled it, and handed the things to everyone, "I heard a voice, and when I walked to the door, I ran into you." ”

What was pulled in front of everyone's eyes was a rein, tied to the waist of Village Chief He, "I only need to pull this rope for a while to return home, and I can't find it anywhere far." ”

The crowd stared at the rope and couldn't find the words for a moment.

In the crowd, Old Lady Kong spoke up, "Village Chief, I don't know why this white fog comes from?" ”

Village Chief He sighed, "I can't go back to the ancestral hall now, just follow me home first, and I'll tell you slowly." ”

They walked in the white fog for a long time, and they couldn't go back, and now it seems that there is no other way than to follow the village chief, in addition to the main house, there are two wings in the village chief's house, and the prisoners are divided into two groups in each wing, Dong Guan and Mrs. Kong and the village chief entered the main room.

Sitting on the kang, the village chief slowly talked about the white fog.

From the words of the village chief, I know that the white fog began to exist twenty years ago, and it will appear every year at the beginning of May, and it will disappear in May, only once a year, at the beginning the villagers were panicked because they got lost in the fog and disappeared, but after the white fog receded, the missing villagers were also found, but they were hungry and hungry.

Until the next day, the white fog appeared again, and the villagers were honest this time, and they all stayed at home honestly, and after half a month, the white fog dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Slowly year after year, the villagers have become accustomed to it.

Old Lady Kong returned to the West Wing and told everyone what he had heard from the village chief, and his brows furrowed deeply, "The village chief said that the white mist is very weird, it can make people go around in place, and it can even lead people into the mountains. ”

"There can't really be ghosts." Kong Heren let out a low sigh and leaned towards Li's side.

Li Shi looked back at him, Kong Heren immediately moved away again, and snorted, "I'm worried that you're scared." ”

Li turned his head and ignored him.

Kong Heren also wanted to say, feeling a gaze fall on him, he instinctively didn't dare to look up at his father, and lowered his head to play with his fingers.

Old lady Kong retracted his gaze, and Mo Shangshu sighed, "Is it true that you want to stay here for half a month?" ”

Mo Minzhong thought for a while, "We also encountered the white fog halfway, and then the white fog receded at night, and there was no more when we returned to the official road, we can start at night like last time, and return to the official road, and the white fog will not appear." ”

Mo Shangshu felt that it made sense, Dong Guantou was here, and nodded again and again after hearing it, "Then wait until the evening and set off." ”

"I just hope the fog will go away at night." Mrs. Kong was worried.

He counted the time, it was almost evening now, and the white fog had not yet dispersed, did it mean that the white fog would not dissipate at night in the village?

He didn't say it to hit the people, and now the people are like frightened birds, and they can't be frightened at all.

"The ancestral hall in the village is big, and it can be seen that it is a heavy ceremony, just now I took a look, he is so old, and he has not been separated from his brother's family." Lu Lian smiled and whispered to Kong Yan on the side, "In Kyoto, even the great family has been divided at this age." ”

There were not many people in the room, and Lu Lian's voice was delicate and weak, but as soon as he spoke, everyone heard it.

Dong Guantou replied casually, "That's his son." ”

"Ah, it turned out to be a son, and he looks not too young, more than sixty, right? Isn't the village chief's family four generations in the same house? Lu Lian looked surprised.

Everyone smiled, Mo Minzhong froze with laughter, thinking of something wrong, Kong Yan remembered what Brother Ye said, and now that Lu Lian said it again, he immediately found out that something was wrong.

"When we came in, we didn't see any young people or children." It can't be that the village chief and his younger brother have no heirs, right?

Everyone looked at Kong Yan in surprise, and only then did they notice this when she reminded her, and Mo Minzhong's eyes in the crowd lit up slightly, and they noticed that someone was looking over, so they withdrew their gaze.

He felt that if he didn't take it back, Aunt Kong would ask him if he looked good again.

It's a pity that he got it this time, and it was Lu Lian who looked at him.

Mo Minzhong's gaze was too eye-catching, and it was impossible for Lu Lian to think that he couldn't see it, so he lowered his eyes and pulled his sleeves for a while.

Kong Guangzhu looked at this, then at that, the corners of his lips slowly hooked, the wolf cub was domineering and ruthless to his sister-in-law, Mo Minzhong was targeted, and there was a good show to watch now.
