Chapter 598
The girl said that it was a coincidence, it was a coincidence, why did she say a coincidence, Hu Wanshan didn't dare to think about it, but his worry seemed to be a little redundant, because the girl changed her words next, and then said; "Big brother, you don't know, the ditch I just said is very wide, even if I have good legs and feet, I have to walk for a long time to get out, besides, after the ditch under the ridge, there are nearly ten miles to get to my house, I think we can't walk today, you look at the old man on the head, it looks like the mountain is about to fall, so, I think we still go down the ridge, to the house under the mountain to find saliva to drink, and then say something else."
The girl was not in a hurry to go home to see Abba and Grandma as he thought, which was somewhat unexpected by Hu Wanshan, however, Hu Wanshan only had his thoughts, anyway, he was there to escort the girl home, so the girl said that she would do what she wanted, so Hu Wanshan said; "Okay, you have to be careful when you go down the mountain, don't pull that injured foot and neck, if you still feel very painful, let me help you go."
After Hu Wanshan finished speaking, the girl reached out and grabbed his arm, and then, tentatively, took the first step towards the bottom of the ridge, and saw that her injured foot had just touched the ground, and couldn't help but tilt her body, and she screamed in pain, seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, fortunately, Hu Wanshan's eyes were fast, and at the moment when the girl fell to the ground, he bent down first, and hugged the girl.
The accident was avoided, but the girl put her arms firmly around his neck, and never let go of it again, and after a while the woman lay in the man's ear and said; "My injured foot hurts when it touches the ground, if you are in a hurry, Brother Hu, don't dislike me, don't avoid anything, just carry me down the ridge!"
Hu Wanshan saw that the girl offered to let him carry her down the ridge, and felt that there was only one way, the two of them couldn't spend the night on the mountain, and besides, they had already seen the people below the ridge, why not go to that house to find saliva to drink, and then inquire along the way to see if what the woman said was right?
So, Hu Wanshan immediately replied; "Okay, I'll carry you down the mountain on my back, so that we can walk faster, maybe we can walk to the house at the bottom of the mountain without waiting for the sun to go down."
After Hu Wanshan finished speaking, he immediately squatted down and let the girl put her hands around his neck, and then he turned his back and supported the girl with both hands, and when the girl felt that Hu Wanshan stood up, she found that Hu Wanshan had already walked several steps.
The girl lay on the back of Hu Wanshan and thought to herself, what a man, carrying a big living person, even without any effort, looking at the way he stepped down the mountain, fluttering, when he encountered a ditch and a ditch, he only had to jump lightly to pass, if you want to say that it takes effort, there are only a large number of bushes, fortunately, there are many tall miscellaneous trees in this mountain range, and there are not many bushes.
The girl lay on Hu Wanshan's back very comfortably, thinking about where and how she was going to spend the night tonight, but she was not in a hurry to go home. And Hu Wanshan is just thinking about carrying the girl to the family's house as soon as possible, as for anything else, then there is only one step at a time, and it is almost to the girl's house anyway.
Hu Wanshan was in a hurry to walk, not thinking much, but the girl, lying on his generous and warm back, felt very comfortable, very comfortable, and a sense of security that she had never had, so she felt that her eyes were heavy when she thought about it, and she was in a daze, she first felt that she was on a sedan chair, who was the person who married her, she couldn't see clearly, but Abba's words made her heart sink.
In the past, she helped Abba take care of the tofu shop, met the young man in the photo, and there were many matchmakers who came to protect the media, but her father and grandma only had such a child as her, although she was a girl, but she also had to count on her to support the elderly, so she was prescribed a primary and most important condition, the young man who married his daughter must be an inverted son-in-law, and if he has a child, he must follow their Ma family's surname, because of this, she has not married until she is twenty years old, and because of this, The bitter process of being plundered by robbers appeared, but fortunately, she felt as if she had been blessed by misfortune.
The girl sitting in the sedan chair, thinking about the past in a daze, suddenly heard a shout, who was shouting, was it Abba or Brother Hu, she didn't seem to hear clearly, but, after the shout, she saw that it was the hunter brother who married her, she was secretly happy, suddenly, but found that the person carrying the sedan chair pushed her out of the sedan chair, the girl exclaimed, opened her eyes, her eyes were a little dark, and there was a unique smell of sweat and mud on a man's body, she was very willing to smell this smell.
However, before she could take a closer look, she heard Hu Wanshan's voice; "The girl is here, you come down first, I'll knock on the door and try to see if anyone lives inside."
The girl's dream was broken, and she had no choice but to get off Hu Wanshan's back very reluctantly, but at the moment when her injured foot landed, the pain still made her snort, and when she heard the girl's voice, Hu Wanshan had to retract her hands, and then held the girl, squatting a little bit, until the girl stood firm on the ground, he stood up and whispered to the girl; "Sister, have you seen it, this family is a little strange, you see in front of the house, it is a fence built with two people high, very thick stumps, as if it is guarding against something."
The girl heard Hu Wanshan's words, put down the sweet dream just now, and carefully looked at the family in front of her, wow, it is really a very high and difficult to cross wooden fence, as if it is a barricade set up in front of the gate outside the cottage, it does not seem to be the courtyard of a villager's house, but when the two of them looked into the courtyard through the gap in the wooden stake, it was everywhere the appearance of a villager's house, and there were two rows of wooden shelves in the courtyard, on which the wild vegetables and mountain mushrooms that had just been picked from the mountains were dried. There are also a few ears of bread and grain hanging under the eaves.
It should be a typical Zhuang family, so, Hu Wanshan looked at the girl, the girl looked at Hu Wanshan, at this time, the sun above their heads had already set, the sky had already darkened, and they couldn't hesitate any longer, the girl gave Hu Wanshan a bold encouraging look, so Hu Wanshan raised his hand and gently knocked a few times on a thick wooden door deliberately left under the stake.
Although Hu Wanshan didn't use any force, he made a very loud movement in the silent wilderness, which startled the girl next to him, so the girl grabbed Hu Wanshan's clothes tightly, and was next to Hu Wanshan, it seemed that only in this way could she feel safe.
However, although the sound of knocking on the door was very loud, there was no echo inside, Hu Wanshan had to raise his hand and continue to knock, this time it took some more effort than last time, the sound from the thick wooden door was different from the last time, it was the kind of dull sound that could be transmitted far away, and there was still no movement inside the door. "Girl, you shout inside!"
The girl immediately understood, and she tore her throat and cried out aloud; "Is there anyone in there, I'm from Mapo Ridge over there, and I happened to pass by here."
After the shouting, there was still no movement inside, and after the girl had shouted three times in succession, a glimmer of light finally came through the gap in the stake, and it was evident that an oil lamp was lit inside, and sure enough, after the glimmer of light flashed, and after a few moments, an old voice of questioning came from the courtyard; "Who?"
Hu Wanshan thought that after the people inside had finished asking who they were, they would continue to say that it was getting late, and there were many inconvenient prevarications to drive them away. Unexpectedly, the words he imagined did not appear, but there was a dull sound of footsteps, one step at a time, and soon he reached the gate, and the footsteps were no more, but he heard the old voice sound again; "Don't blame the passing guests, you put your face up along the gap and let me take a closer look before I can open the door for you."
Hearing the request of the people inside, the girl looked at Hu Wanshan, Hu Wanshan nodded, and the girl immediately put her face in front of the gap in the stake, and after a while, the old man's voice came from inside; "Sure enough, it's a girl, old woman, don't be afraid."
While speaking, the courtyard was bright and prosperous, but it turned out that the people in the courtyard lit the torches, and it was not yet dark and honest, why did they light the torches so early, Hu Wanshan thought in his heart, but unexpectedly, after a while, the two people heard the sound of pulling the latch inside at the same time, and then squeaked, and the thick wooden door that could only accommodate one person to enter and exit opened a crack.
Then the torch moved to the door, and when the woman had come forward and was illuminated by the torch, the old voice in the courtyard asked again; "Girl, who is the man standing behind you?"
The girl didn't think about it, and replied at once; "He is my man, we are from the Ma family in Mapo Ling, I went to relatives today, I came back late, and I didn't dare to go to the ditch again, so I came to disturb and wanted to spend the night and stay home until dawn tomorrow."
"Is it the girl from the mapo tofu shop, hurry up and let me see."
From behind the old voice, there was an old woman's voice, Hu Wanshan, who was standing behind the girl, was very unhappy in his heart at this time, he did not discuss with the girl in advance to pretend to be a husband and wife, why did she open her mouth and say that it was my man, I am a man, but I am not your man, but it is too late to say anything at this time, forget it, let's go in first, I really didn't expect that such a weak girl would have such a bad idea.
Hu Wanshan stood behind the girl, and just thought of this, he heard an exclamation from the old woman who came out later; "Ah, it's really Mapo Shih, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you, let your grandma and abba find it so hard, and think so hard!"
