Chapter Eighty-Nine: There Are No Living Persons
Li Chenfeng's words were like a stick on the head, and Liu Laosan's mind suddenly cleared up, could this girl be ......
At this time, I saw that the girl's face did not change and said, "Old man, what old man?" ”
Compared with Liu Laosan, Li Chenfeng didn't seem too frightened, and said calmly: "It's the old man who lives next to the rotten mill." ”
The girl nodded and said, "Oh, you're talking about Uncle Liu, his wife hanged himself from the big locust tree a few years ago, he was stimulated and mentally abnormal, you can't believe what he said." ”
At this time, Liu Laosan's hanging heart suddenly fell, and said: "It turned out to be a mental illness, no wonder it was so flickering." ”
The girl's expression when she spoke seemed very natural, not like she was lying, so Li Chenfeng also believed it for the time being.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moon appeared again. The branches of the big locust tree are luxuriant, and there are many white locust flowers hanging between the green leaves, which looks very beautiful under the moonlight.
At this time, a strong wind blew, and the branches and leaves on the locust tree rattled, and at the same time, the wind brought the fragrance of locust flowers down.
At this time, the girl grabbed one of Li Chenfeng and Liu Laosan's hands, pulled them and ran to the village, explaining as she ran: "The old man in the village said that the pollen of this locust flower is poisonous, and it is easy to hallucinate when it smells too much, and those who hang themselves on the locust tree are probably affected by the pollen." ”
Because of the good intentions of seeing the girl, Li Chenfeng also followed her, as for Liu Laosan, he was a lewd uncle at all, at this time he was held by such a beautiful girl, not to mention how happy he was, at this time, I was afraid that people would pull him to jump into the fire pit, and he didn't blink an eye.
The girl led them all the way to the innermost part of the village, and then into a hut.
After the girl closed the door, she poured a glass of water for Li Chenfeng and Liu Laosan, and then asked them what they were doing under the big locust tree just now.
Liu Laosan thought to himself, since the big locust tree was so dangerous, he and Li Chenfeng should no longer be able to act secretly, and he looked at the girl well, so he told her about his father's burial of the golden inheritance under the tree.
Hearing Liu Laosan say this, the girl seemed to remember something.
said: "Is your father not tall, a little fat, and has a black mole on his forehead?" ”
Liu Laosan nodded. "Yes, do you know him?"
The girl smiled and said: "That uncle often came to our village to harvest vegetables a few years ago, and basically sold the things grown by my family to him. ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Laosan and the girl didn't seem to be angry at all, and they chatted with her one sentence at a time.
Li Chenfeng sat on the side with a solemn expression, holding the hot water poured by the girl for him in his hand, and wanted to take a sip, but put it back on the table.
At this time, there was a coughing sound in the back room, thinking that it should be her husband who was paralyzed in bed that the girl had just said.
"I'm sorry, my man should have woken up."
With that, she opened the curtain in the back room and walked in.
At this time, Li Chenfeng teased Liu Laosan: "It's very generous, just spit out this gold bar?" ”
Liu Laosan shrugged his nose, took a sip of the water on the table, and glanced at Li Chenfeng in a daze, thinking that you kid is jealous that I can talk to other girls, people are so real, I definitely can't hide it.
"Hey, isn't it just a few gold bars, what's the big deal?"
At this time, the man in the room coughed louder, as if he was almost out of breath, and the girl whispered to him as she explained the situation outside, and patted him on the back.
Li Chenfeng put his mouth to Liu Laosan's ear and whispered: "I think that if we get the gold bars out tomorrow, you won't leave, and just take the money to live here, I think her man won't last long, and you will just pick up a bargain when the time comes." ”
These words are obviously satirizing Liu Laosan in a different way, who knows that this guy not only didn't hear it, but Lai Laba's face turned red, and he looked a little embarrassed.
"Actually, that's not impossible......"
Li Chenfeng tried not to laugh and sat back on his bench, and then he didn't know what to say, so the two of them sat down in a daze.
waited until the girl had finished taking care of his husband's affairs before she came out to greet the two of them.
Then the girl promised to let them spend the night in the house, and told them that it would not be too late for them to go on digging for the gold bars when the sun came out and the dead man's tree had dissipated.
After that, Li and Liu were arranged to rest in a room next to them, there was only one bed in this room, and it was narrow and small, there was no way, so the two had to huddle together and sleep together.
Liu Laosan fell asleep within two minutes of falling into bed, but Li Chenfeng didn't close his eyes until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, this Liu Laosan was dirty, and he didn't know how long he hadn't taken a bath, sleeping next to him was like holding a pickle jar, the sourness was indescribable in words, coupled with his thunderous snoring, Li Chenfeng was so tormented that Li Chenfeng wanted to kick him under the bed.
But even so, because Li Chenfeng was so tired that day, he barely fell asleep in the end.
When he woke up the next day, it was past ten o'clock in the morning, and Li Chenfeng slapped Liu Laosan on the ass several times to wake him up, and then walked to the outside room.
There were two bowls of millet porridge and a few steamed buns on the table, thinking that it was the breakfast that the girl prepared for them, and they were still lazy in other people's homes, which made Liu Laosan really embarrassed.
The two looked into the house, but did not see the girl, thinking that she should go out to the field to take care of the crops, after all, it is not easy to see her life in this house, she should have to do a lot of tiring work every day.
Liu Laosan yawned, sat on the bench with a steamed bun in one hand and millet porridge in the other, and ate it chirped, talking in his mouth while eating. "What a virtuous girl......"
Li Chenfeng pretended not to hear anything, reached out and took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and took a sip, then pushed open the door of the house.
Liu Laosan shouted. "What's the matter, you didn't eat this breakfast?"
"No, I'm not very hungry."
Liu Laosan thought to himself, didn't you kid say that he was hungry last night, why aren't you hungry at this time? But he didn't pay much attention to him, and ate his own breakfast.
The two stood at the door, and Liu Laosan said to Li Chenfeng: "The sun has come out, let's start doing it." ”
Li Chenfeng shook his head, not in a hurry.
With that, he walked around the house and looked at the houses next to him. said: "I remember that she said yesterday that there are still more than a dozen old people living in the village, why didn't she see a figure? ”
Liu Laosan said: "Maybe we all go to the field to do farm work together." ”
"Elderly people also work in the fields?"
"Otherwise, what will they eat?"
Li Chenfeng stopped talking, and followed Liu Laosan in the direction of the big locust tree, and then saw the old man sitting on the grinding plate again.
The old man seemed surprised at the first glance of them.
"Why are you still here?"
Liu Laosan thought that since he was a madman with mental problems, he didn't have the heart to deal with him.
"I let you go yesterday, why don't you listen!"
Liu Laosan said: "We are willing to stay here and take care of your." ”
The old man's voice trembled a little. "Where did you spend the night last night?"
"Just because you don't greet us doesn't mean there are no one else."
"Didn't I tell you all, I'm the only one in the village, and the others have long since died!"
Liu Laosan said impatiently and loudly: "What kind of fart, who will believe the crazy things you say from this madman?" ”
The old man gasped heavily, and his emotions seemed very excited, and at this time, Li Chenfeng, who was behind Liu Laosan, suddenly came to say.
"I believe his words, there is indeed no living person in this village but him."
