Chapter 662: A Hermit in the Mountains
As soon as the old village chief heard that he was going to the He family on the mountain, his head immediately shook like a rattle, they had not been in contact with the He family for a long time, and it was very embarrassing to take people up suddenly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but under Chen Zhi's Ye Qiu's constant request, the most important thing was the benefit fee of five hundred yuan, and the old village chief finally agreed to their request.
Of course, the old village chief was old, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so it was impossible to take them up the mountain himself. But they have an eldest grandson, who is 15 years old this year, and because the family is doting, he has not yet gone to the field with the adults to do farm work, and now he is wandering around the yard in his spare time. The children in the mountains are all wild mountain skewers, and they have been used to fighting and falling in the mountains since they were children, and there is no place they have never been, so he asked him to take Chen Zhi and others up the mountain to find the He family.
The boy's nickname is Qiang Steamed Bun, he looks black and thin, because he has been particularly strong and loves to eat white flour steamed buns since he was a child, so he got this name, now the mountain village people live well, there is no shortage of vegetables to eat, only 15 children have looked no different from the size of the boy, Qiang Steamed Bun heard that his grandfather sent him this errand, very happy, he was idle at home is troubled, want to go up the mountain to shop.
The old village chief stuffed him with another 30 yuan, and asked him to go to the village shop to buy something casually, and don't go to the door of He's house empty-handed, and bring some gifts.
In this way, Qiang Mantou first went to the village store to buy two packs of dim sum, and then took Chen Zhi, Ye Qiu, Ghost Dao and a few guys all the way up the mountain.
The mountains here are very small, and the mountain roads all the way have been trodden, and there is nothing too dangerous, and Chen Zhi has long been accustomed to climbing mountains and mountains, and he has walked fast along the way, leaving all the steamed buns behind.
Ye Qiu kept chatting with the steamed bun while climbing the mountain, Ye Qiu is a fine person, he knows that reality never comes out of a person's mouth, and he must listen to more personal words to be true.
So Ye Qing had a very good attitude towards steamed buns along the way, told him a lot of new things in the city, and said that steamed buns could go to Beijing to play with him in the future.
"Child, I'll ask you about something......
Ye Qiu smiled and said to the steamed bun, "You heard what your grandfather said to us just now, right?" Are those rumors true? Did the He family on the mountain really raise a mountain spirit? ”
"Phew! What mountain spirits",
Hearing this, the steamed bun was a little indignant, and angrily spat on the ground,
"The wind and rain are smooth, where do the mountain spirits come from? The red-mouthed and white-toothed spoiler, the people in the village are jealous of the He family, and it is true that they framed others, I have seen the mountain spirit they said, the uncle is obviously a living person, and he is not a goblin at all. And the two eldest brothers of their family I have also seen, they are all the best people, my mother and they are all nonsense and smearing black families, you don't have to listen to them chew their tongues. ”
Ye Qiu immediately became interested when he heard the words of the steamed bun, in the impression of ordinary people, a boy who was only fifteen years old was very easy to follow the crowd, and he should not be able to distinguish right from wrong so much, especially when the whole village was criticizing the He family, he said such things.
"Good boy, knowledgeable!" , Ye Qiu patted the steamed bun on the shoulder and said, "Then why did your grandfather and your mother talk about their family like that?" Could it be that the widow of the He family has offended the people of the village? ”
"No, the He family's aunts are good, the people in the village are jealous of them!" ,
Mantou said while climbing the mountain, "At that time, I was still young, and the adults in the family did not carry me behind their backs, so I listened to my father and my mother at that time, and the sister-in-law of the He family was very generous in her hands, and it was estimated that she had taken some kind of compassionate money from the state, so the people in the village took their family back to the village, and they all wanted to get some bargains."
Later, I heard my father say that the aunt of the He family was very beautiful when she was young, and she was the famous village flower in the village, and after the death of the uncle of the He family, the men in the village were worried about her, a young widow, and knocked on her door in the middle of the night.
At that time, the two elder brothers of the He family were still young, and the aunt of the He family was annoyed to death because of this incident, and later heard that there was a man in her family, and those in the village died. Then start choreographing her, cut! I didn't eat the grapes and said the grapes were sour! Moreover, the people in the village are still jealous of the two children of the He family......"
"Jealous of other people's children?" ,
Ye Qiu was very surprised when he heard this, if he was not mistaken, the two children of the He family should be in their twenties by now, if they stayed in the mountains and could only farm or hunt, what was there to be jealous of? ”
"I don't know ...... either",
The steamed bun has a mouthful of words,
"I just always listen to my mother's mouth complaining, saying that our brothers don't grow up, saying that the two eldest brothers in the old He family have never gone to school, so they can read and write. I also heard that the eldest son of their family went to the city to take any exams a few years ago, and what university he was admitted to, and finally he didn't report for duty, it was messy, and I didn't understand ......, in short, my mother and my aunts were very jealous of the He family's aunts, and they would beat her if they had nothing to do! ”
"Hmmm! Got it......",
Ye Qiu nodded silently, and glanced at each other with Chen Zhi, at this time Chen Zhi asked the steamed bun, "Steamed bun, you said that you saw that mountain spirit of their family, when did it happen?" Can you tell me more about that? ”。
"Oh......, oh......, I haven't seen it, I don't know, I said it casually......",
Hearing Chen Zhi ask him this, Mantou suddenly changed his words and became vigilant, he found that he had been tricked by Ye Qiu and Chen Zhi a lot of words along the way, and now he stopped talking with a straight face.
And his performance aroused everyone's interest, he obviously concealed something, and probably knew something special.
At this time, Ye Qiu took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the steamed buns.
"Boy, we're not going to let you run this trip in vain, you know everything, tell us everything! Don't worry, we won't tell your grandfather! ”
Mantou's eyes flashed when he saw the 100 yuan, and he was obviously a little moved, but he didn't take the bill, but ran forward a few steps, "I don't know anything, don't come and ask me ......", and ran into the distance like a little mountain deer.
"This kid ......", Ye Qiu saw the steamed bun running away, and was a little helpless.
And Chen Zhi chased after him, intercepted the steamed bun in a few steps, he grabbed the small shoulder of the steamed bun, and whispered to him,
"Mantou, let me tell you the truth, we are not here to pay out the pension this time, we heard that the He family has been wronged in the village, and we are here to help them, you tell us what you know, and we can help the He family live a good life......"
"Really?" , Qiang Mantou looked at Chen Zhi with wide eyes.
"Of course ......", Chen Zhi then said a lot of words to help He Zhonghua's family in the organization, after all, the fifteen-year-old steamed bun is relatively simple, and he really believes it.
"I did see the mountain spirit uncle of the He family, at that time a few of our children went to the mountains to dig birds' eggs, and I was only ten years old at that time......
Mantou said while reminiscing, because he was still young at that time, and he couldn't remember the specific things clearly.
"At that time, I went up to the mountains with a couple of younger brothers to hunt birds, and it was not hunting season, and there were very few people on the mountain. We saw a nest of eggs on an old tree, and my younger brothers were too young to go up, so I took the lead in climbing up.
As a result, the tree was too high, and I was stuck in the tree and couldn't get down, so my brothers under the tree coaxed me and ran away, and I cried so anxiously on the tree, at that time, I saw the mountain spirit uncle coming. ”
"Did you see the mountain spirit with your own eyes? See his face? ”,
Chen Zhi hurriedly asked,
"No", Mantou shook his head,
"At that time, he covered his face with a black cloth, and the two elder brothers of the He family followed him, and I pulled my neck on the tree and shouted for a long time before they came.
They first saw that there was no one left and right, and then they climbed the big tree and rescued me, and after I came down, the masked mountain spirit uncle talked to me, and his voice was much better than my grandfather's, so he was not a mountain spirit! ”
"What did he tell you?" , Chen Zhi hurriedly asked,
"He just asked me if I was injured, and took me home for dinner, and asked the two brothers of the He family to send me down the mountain at night, but before going down the mountain, I told me not to tell me that he had saved me, and not to tell anyone that I had seen him, otherwise their family would be unlucky......."
