Xue Xiaxia nodded, "Okay, but you still have to be careful of Liu Ziyu, she is very scheming, if she finds that suspicious place, she will definitely find a chance to retaliate against you, you have more and more enemies now." ”

Looking at her worried eyes, I was particularly touched in my heart, and the only thing I could do was to protect myself and not let her worry.

At about 10 o'clock the next morning, I drove Wang Haitang and set off.

She sat in the passenger seat, kept looking out on the edge of the window, and judging from the shadow reflected by the window glass, she was smiling very brightly at the moment, and she seemed to be really looking forward to returning to her hometown.

I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, when she suddenly called me and said that she wanted to live in the city, at that time she was so shy, her parents were missing, she was extremely worried, and even said that she had a fear of the future, but she had experienced too much and changed too much in the past year.

Sometimes I feel like it's just a snap of a finger.

She hadn't been back for a long time, but after entering Wangjiatun Village, she suddenly calmed down.

The car couldn't drive in at a crossroads next to her house, so we had to park the car here, I asked her to lead the way in front, and I went to the trunk to move down the daily necessities that Xue Xiaxia had prepared for her before.

"Cousin, I'll help you."

"No, you can't lift heavy objects now, I'll just run a few more rounds." I stopped her, and she pursed her lips and turned to walk slowly ahead.

Along the way, they passed by several families, and it was time for everyone to have lunch, and they were all very surprised that Wang Haitang suddenly came back, and they greeted her with warmth.

Wang Haitang responded politely, and I followed her to greet everyone.

She took the key out of her pocket and inserted it into the lock hole, turned it a few times, and pushed open the long-lost door, and suddenly a somewhat damp smell came to her nose.

She covered her mouth and suddenly cried, I quickly put down the things in my hand, gently held her shoulder, and whispered, "It's okay, don't think too much when you come back." ”

As she spoke, tears had already rolled down her fingers, and her emotions should have been piling up for too long at the moment, and suddenly exploded at this time.

We went into the house and sat down, and when she had calmed down, I went out to bring the things back from the car, by which time she had wiped away her tears.

She looked up at the roof, her eyes were straight and her expression was a little glazed.

"Begonia, what are you looking at?" I also looked up, and the first floor of their house was still the same old-fashioned roof with beams, because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, there were several cobwebs, gray and abrupt, and the rest didn't have anything else.

She shook her head and sat down again.

I took the food to the kitchen and then brought it in, and she was probably hungry too, so she didn't say a word and just took it up and ate it in a big gulp.

After eating, I went to clean up the dishes, and she suddenly looked up at me and asked coldly, "Cousin, will you go back in the afternoon?" I can really live here alone, you don't have to worry about me. ”

I was stunned for a moment, "Just drive me away like this, can't you let me rest here for a while?" ”

She shook her head, lowered her head and said sullenly, "Well, you have to go back before dark, because my sister is waiting for you, okay?" ”

Hearing her say this, my heart warmed, "Okay, I'll rush back as soon as possible." ”

After packing up the dishes, I cleaned the room with her, I asked her to go to the bedroom to rest, and I moved a box of fruit to Aunt Wang's house next door.

This Aunt Wang lives next to her, and the relationship between the two families was good before, so I want to ask Aunt Wang to help me take good care of her, pay more attention to her movements, and call me immediately if there is anything.

Aunt Wang is also a very kind and enthusiastic elder, she took my hand and told me a lot of worries, she first said that Wang Haitang's life is hard, her parents are both missing, she is alone here, especially pitiful, if it weren't for my cousin, then she really has nothing to rely on in this world.

Chatting and chatting, Aunt Wang suddenly sighed again, this sigh made my heart jerk, I felt that this sigh was completely different from the previous sympathy and sigh.

"This begonia, she is really like a different person compared to when she left here before, from the luster revealed in her eyes, we rural people can see what she has experienced in the city in the past few months, is she having a hard time?"

I was a little surprised, it seems that everyone is a clear-eyed person, when we walked in before, the surrounding villagers looked at her with strange eyes, and they should have the same feeling as Aunt Wang.

I lowered my head and said with some embarrassment, "It's true that I was derelict in my duties, I didn't take care of her in the past few months, so she was still very lonely in that city, so she wants to come back to live for a while." ”

Aunt Wang shook her head, "No, what I see in her eyes is not only loneliness, but also a kind of pain and despair, what happened to her?" Is she a partner in the city? ”

"Hmm......" I looked at Aunt Wang with some puzzlement, and at the same time my heartbeat accelerated, could it be that Aunt Wang is also a woman, so she has seen that the pain in Wang Haitang's heart comes from emotional problems?

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Aunt Wang gently patted the back of my hand and let out a long sigh, "This woman, once she meets a man who has no fate with her, then this life will be ruined, I think she may have really met such a man in the city, but she didn't tell you, after all, you are her cousin, and it may not be convenient for her to tell you this." ”

When I heard this, a trace of guilt floated in my heart, but it was still inconvenient for me to talk about her and Ma Yuan in front of Aunt Wang, so I had to change the topic and beg Aunt Wang to help me take care of her more.

We talked about the disappearance of Wang Haitang's parents again, Aunt Wang said that her parents were like evaporating from the world, they couldn't see anyone alive or dead, they had completely cut off contact, and the people in the village would chat together on weekdays, talking about whether they would dream of Wang Haitang's parents, but no one said that they had dreamed of them.

I smiled, "That means they should be alive, doesn't it mean that only the dead will dream for those they are familiar with?" ”

Aunt Wang asked rhetorically, "Isn't that what we usually dream of living people?" ”

I scratched my scalp, "That's right, but I think the truth about his parents' disappearance will come out soon." ”

Aunt Wang shook her head helplessly, "In short, their disappearance hit this child very hard, she was not such a girl before, she was quite lively." ”

I nodded silently, thinking of the previous events, and my heart was a little messy.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, do you know a place called Huangliang County?"

"Huangliang County ......" Aunt Wang frowned, thought about it carefully, and kept chanting the words "Huangliang County" in her mouth, and after a long time, she still shook her head blankly, "I really have never heard of a place called Huangliang County, where did you hear it?" ”

I smiled, "I heard from my friend before, so I wanted to ask you, we have no idea where that place is. ”

"Oh, that's a strange name, could it be someone else's mistake?"

"Probably!" I smiled and nodded.

At this moment, an old voice sounded behind me, "Isn't Huangliang County Qiuying City?" ”

I turned my head in surprise and saw an old woman on crutches walking towards us.

Aunt Wang hurriedly stood up, "Mom, why did you come out?" ”

"Granny Wang." I also stood up and went over with Aunt Wang to help Granny Wang sit down.

"Granny Wang, do you know the location of Huangliang County?" I asked, surprised.

Granny Wang nodded, "Yes, the place that is now called Qiu Ying City used to be called Huangliang County. ”

Aunt Wang frowned, "No, Mom, we all know that Qiu Ying City has been called Qiu Ying City from the beginning, and has never changed its name, are you old and misremembered?" ”

Granny Wang shook her head without hesitation, "No, the main reason is that that history was not written into the information at all, and we were all children at the time, so it is even more impossible for you to know." ”

I was excited in my heart, Qiuying City is actually Huangliang County, which is really unbelievable.

Granny Wang looked up at the sky and slowly talked about the old past.

At that time, the reason why that place was called Huangliang County was because there was a plant called "Huangliang", which is said to grow like sorghum, but its color was golden yellow, and the flowers were also golden.

This plant is the favorite food of locusts, and it is only available in this place, so there were so many locusts there that year, which became a natural disaster.

Later, the local government decided to completely eradicate the yellow sorghum plant, and without the food of locusts, then the locusts would naturally not multiply in a large area, nor would they attract locusts from other places.

After about five years, there was no sorghum plant in that place, and even the seeds were completely burned, and there was no locust plague from then on.

Everyone felt that the place name of "Huangliang County" continued to be very unpleasant and unlucky, and they were afraid that the locust plague would sweep again, so they changed the name to Qiuying City.

"So that's the case, Granny Wang, thank you for solving my doubts today, I spent a lot of effort to find out where this place is, but I spent a lot of effort and asked many people, and they didn't know." I said gratefully, my voice trembling from the excitement.

Granny Wang waved her hand and said modestly, "What's the matter, I'm just living a little longer, so I know some things that you young people don't know, and this history is not glorious, so it is not written in the information, which is normal." ”
