Chapter 55: What About People?
"You, you let go of me!"
Although Xu Yi usually made a little fuss, he actually had good courage, and he shouted at the middle-aged man with his anger.
Anyway, why did the man just mention it and the old man reacted so much?
There must be a hidden secret in this, but what it is is not in the hands of us outsiders.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Chen Dong immediately went up, grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, and wanted to put it down, so he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"I'm sorry, uncle, my friend is ignorant and collided with you, don't worry, we promise it won't be like this."
"Don't be like this, everyone thinks harmony is precious! Xu Yi, quickly apologize to the uncle! Why are you so ignorant of the rules? โ
Chen Dong gave Xu Yi a look, signaling him to hurry up and show softness, this uncle in front of him is obviously not a master to provoke easily, don't be driven out of the village because of a word, it will be too much to lose.
People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, this matter is actually endured and passed, there is nothing that cannot be passed, don't lose a big one because of a small one.
Xu Yi repeatedly didn't know what he meant, and I was afraid that he could see what Chen Dong meant.
Forget it, heroes don't suffer immediate losses, grandpa, I will let you go today, but it's not that I'm afraid of you.
Xu Yi thought like this, and immediately spoke:
"I'm sorry, uncle, I was wrong."
As soon as the words fell, but the uncle still refused to let go, Chen Dong knew that he was afraid that the uncle was still not satisfied, so he immediately pretended to scold:
"Xu Yi, apologize to your uncle and have a decent attitude!"
After speaking, he gave Xu Yi a fierce look and signaled him to be serious.
"Yes, Xu Yi, you apologize."
Liu Meng was also so anxious to speak, his voice was full of worry and anxiety, and Xu Yi, who was being dragged by his uncle, also softened when he saw this, and said if he was frustrated:
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I have no eyes, I shouldn't talk nonsense, don't worry, next time I talk nonsense, I don't need you to kick myself out."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man let go of the hand that had been holding Xu Yi, but his eyes were still staring at Xu Yi, refusing to leave, and he didn't know if he was still not satisfied or something.
"Xu Yi, are you okay?"
Seeing that Xu Yi finally broke free from the man's hands, Liu Meng was the first to run to Xu Yi, constantly stroking Xu Yi's neck, carefully inspecting it, and looking at it, he was afraid that Xu Yi would lose a little meat.
"Okay, since it's okay, please lead us the way, uncle, and I'll leave the matter of tonight's accommodation to you."
Zhang Qiang also spoke.
"Come with me."
The uncle said lightly, he seemed to be very reluctant to talk to the living, and without waiting for us to speak, he went directly to the door alone.
"Keep up."
Zhang Wenshu urged behind.
"Let's go, let's go."
Chen Dong patted Xu Yi, and also walked in with his things on his back, and after a while, only Xu Yi who was standing in place was left, he seemed to be unwilling, staring directly at the few people who entered the door, and did not say anything, spit, and followed.
As soon as I entered, the house was dim, not like the feeling of a permanent resident, with broken walls, walls and eaves covered with spider silk, and a few insects crawling around.
The room was lit by a candle, and there were two rooms in total, both of which were open to each other, except that there was a door inside, and it was said that the door was almost rotten, thanks to a curtain that blocked the view.
Seeing this scene, several girls couldn't stand it anymore, but now they have no other choice but to go down.
"You live here, there are seven of you in this room, and you are not allowed in the other room, otherwise if I find out, you will die, is there a problem?"
The middle-aged man arranged for a few of us, as soon as he heard his words, not to mention the girls, the boys were a little embarrassed, this room is very small, and the four people who live there feel that they are squeezed to death, and now it is a little difficult to arrange all seven of them here, and there is a difference between men and women, it is even more difficult.
"Uncle, look, can you arrange another room for us, you see, isn't the other room also empty?"
Chen Dong leaned in and begged for everyone.
Seeing that Chen Dong proposed to borrow another room, the man seemed to have been touched, and his eyes narrowed and he immediately retorted:
"Can't you hear me? You are not allowed to enter that room, and if you don't stay, you will get out, and if I find you running around, you will roll up and roll it! โ
After saying two fucks in a row, needless to say, Chen Dong also knew that I was afraid that there was no hope now, depending on what this person meant, I am afraid that I can only squeeze into this room tonight.
After saying that, the uncle slammed the door and left, leaving a few of us standing in place.
After a long time, seeing that no one was willing to speak, I was the first to break the silence and ask:
"So, how are we going to distribute it?"
"I think so, the girl lives in the bed, the boy lays the floor, spreads the moisture-proof mat or something, and sleeps in the sleeping bag. What do you think? โ
Chen Dong opened his mouth to propose.
Before he could respond, Zhang Wenshu immediately retorted:
"I think it's better for you to sleep on the bed, you're tired all the way, we've been stained with your light, let's sleep on the ground."
In fact, it is not unreasonable for her to think so, after all, the boy has really helped us a lot.
"It's not good, it's better for you to sleep in the bed, the girl is weak, and it's not good if it's cold. Just follow what Chen Dong said. โ
Zhang Qiang also opened his mouth to persuade. As he was talking, Xu Yi suddenly walked around and ran to the door to look into the other room.
"What's wrong, Xu Yi?"
Seeing his strange actions, Liu Meng, who is his girlfriend, immediately asked.
Xu Yi continued to bend down and look inside, turned around and said:
"Nothing, I'm dazzled."
He said lightly, walked up to Liu Meng, had something in his eyes, and didn't continue to speak.
"Okay, I'm tired of the day, let's pack up quickly, I have to leave early tomorrow morning."
Chen Dong urged a few people.
This day is indeed the most tiring day to come to Songjiangling, whether it is the day Xu Yi disappeared, or when he was in a hurry before, he has never been so tiring as today.
If it weren't for Chen Dong discovering this village, I'm afraid there would be no place for a few people to live now.
Before we could even eat dinner, several people climbed into their sleeping bags, and the man left us with no quilts in the room, so we had to hide in the sleeping bags and sleep.
Within more than half an hour, everyone basically didn't talk to each other anymore, and they fell asleep.
Today it's not just me, everyone has suffered all kinds of different things, frightened, intimidated, forced to command, and no one has ever lived a little.
It is not easy to find a village in this remote mountain col.
At night, it was already ten o'clock, and I still remember that in more than two hours, the cloudy time will come.
......
"Wellโโ, Li Yi, Li Yi!"
In my sleep, I don't know who suddenly called my name, at first I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but after listening carefully for a while, I found that the voice seemed to be coming from next to me.
It's Zhang Wenshu!
Strange, in the middle of the night, she asked me to do something, and seeing that I didn't react, she simply stretched out her hand and kept shaking my body.
"What's wrong? You don't sleep in the middle of the night? โ
I said to her in a hazy voice, and I didn't open my eyes, I was really sleepy.
When I asked him why, Zhang Wenshu told me that she wanted me to accompany her to the toilet, and she was scared alone.
I was just about to turn over and go to sleep, when suddenly I felt a urge to urinate, and I had no choice but to climb out of my sleeping bag and accompany her to the bathroom.
"Slow down, be careful!"
When I went to the ground, I was afraid of accidentally stepping on the boys on the ground, so I was careful not to amplify my actions in the slightest.
Out of the door, Zhang Wenshu suddenly shook my hand and pointed not far away:
"Li Yi, Li Yi, look! Why is there still a lantern lit over there? โ
I looked in the direction she was pointing, and sure enough, as she had said, there were several white lanterns hanging not far away, flickering in the darkness, like capricious eyes.
Strange, the people in this village are incomprehensible, and even the customs are so weird and abnormal.
White lanterns are lit at night, which has never been heard of, and generally speaking, only at the time of the funeral, someone will use the white lantern to guide the way.
I didn't think about it anymore, now I am so sleepy that I just want to sleep, so I urged Zhang Wenshu and said:
"Okay, don't worry about it so much, hurry up and go to the toilet and come back to sleep!"
She didn't continue to ask me when she heard me, and after going to the bathroom, she went back to the house.
After seeing the light, the dark room is even more invisible, making people unable to distinguish the direction and can't help but step on the ground.
Suddenly, one of my feet stepped on the air, and I accidentally stepped on something soft, and I thought: This is bad, who did I step on? Chen Dong? Zhang Qiang? Xu Yi? Or Xu Fei?
Immediately moved his foot away, no!
It seems like all I stepped on was a sleeping bag, no one!
When I was about to take a closer look, Zhang Wenshu pushed me behind my back and whispered:
"Come on, why did you stop?"
Obviously, he didn't realize the problem yet, but he was just urging behind his back.
Perhaps, I went to the toilet like us, I comforted myself.
The two of them continued to climb into the sleeping bag to sleep, tired of the day, and no longer had the energy to think so much, so they climbed into the sleeping bag and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I remembered the scene in my mind.
I couldn't help but open my eyes in an instant, sweating like a nightmare, in short, it was difficult to explain how I was feeling now.
Something must be wrong, my gut tells me that I can't sleep any longer, and since I met Linde, wearing this amulet, my senses have become accurate every time.
This time, that hairy feeling crept into my heart again, and I don't know what to expect.
I looked up at the window and could see that there was still a little light outside, which was still evident in the dark room.
Looking through the light outside the window, I looked at the boys who were sleeping on the ground, and the four sleeping bags were neatly huddled together.
It's just that the four sleeping bags that were supposed to bulge are obviously deflated at the moment!
I remember, that position seems to be Xu Yi's sleeping bag, where did he go?
Thinking like this, it seems that my previous feelings were not wrong, that is, someone was not there, but in full view, how did he leave?
Could it be that he ran out alone after everyone was asleep?
But this person is not familiar with the place, and the surrounding villagers see us like ghosts, and they want to beat us away, where can he run to?
"Hey! Feed! Get up! โ
I shook Zhang Wenshu next to me again, wanting to ask her to get up and take a look.
"What's wrong?"
This time she started the usual grumbling I had before, and I immediately said sternly:
"Wake up quickly, Xu Yi is gone!"
As soon as she heard my words, she didn't take it seriously, and stretched out her hand to push Liu Meng's sleeping bag a few times, but strangely, her hand touched it several times, but she didn't touch the person she wanted to touch.
In an instant, he opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, and looked to the side in disbelief.
