Chapter 185: The custom of not keeping a dog
Although the movement couldn't be heard as something came from, Zhao Fengzheng was tense, and Liu Yanyan's face changed a little. It doesn't look good!
We're fucking exhausted! This is still a wave of unsettled, endless?
The blows of the past few days have taken me down, and I have a bit of a broken jar. I threw the bamboo chopsticks in my hand and said dejectedly, "Who is it this time?" Which amazing grandmother and grandfather did I mess with? ”
Tan Zhe saw that Mu Tongtong and Mu's mother were a little at a loss, so he hurriedly pulled me under the table, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the situation is now, don't worry."
As he spoke, he stood up very vigilantly and walked out, comforting Mu Tongtong and Mu's mother: "I'll go out and have a look first, don't be impatient."
Mu's mother stopped him: "Don't go out, I'll go out and have a look."
We got into trouble ourselves, how could we let Mother Mu stand up for us? What's more, if there is some kind of evil demon outside, Mu's mother can't bear it!
Tan Zhe and I hurriedly went up to stop it, but Mu Tongtong smiled and said: "Sometimes there will be some unpeace in our village, you can eat with peace of mind, I will go out with my mother to have a look." Don't worry, nothing will happen. ”
Some of us will be skeptical: "Your village ...... Not peaceful? ”
Mu Tongtong said a little casually: "It's all very old things, I don't know the specifics, you can eat with peace of mind, and then have a good rest."
We repeatedly made sure that there was no problem, and then sat down at the table with trepidation.
Mu Tongtong and Mu's mother went out and came back not long after. Tan Zhe asked about the situation outside, and Mu's mother said, "There are a few small bugs." Don't go out at night, don't worry about the movement outside, let them toss. ”
When we saw that their mother and daughter were calm, we slowly relaxed. We ate something casually, and were led upstairs to rest by Mu Tongtong.
The conditions of the Mu family are limited, I shared a room with Tan Zhe, Mu Tongtong, Zhao Fengkite, and Liu Yanyan slept in one room, and Mu's mother and the younger brother of the Mu family slept downstairs.
We hadn't had a good night's rest for days, and I almost fell asleep with my head on my pillow.
It's just that I didn't sleep very well this night, and in the middle of the night, I faintly heard a dog barking downstairs.
But I was so tired that I dimly remember opening my eyes once, then turning my head back to sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, before I could speak, Tan Zhe asked me first: "Did you hear the dog barking last night?"
I heard it, but when we came yesterday, we didn't see any dogs in Mu Tongtong's house.
At breakfast, we asked Mu Tongtong, but Mu Tongtong looked confused: "No."
I scratched my head, wondering if we both heard it wrong? Tan Zhe thought for a while and asked, "Do any of your neighbors near your house have dogs?"
Mu Tongtong glanced back at Mu's mother, who came in with two bowls of gruel, and said, "Mom, does anyone in our village have a dog?" Didn't you? ”
Mu's mother put the bowl on the table, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't heard of it!"
Don't even have a dog in the village? It shouldn't be! Dogs are the most common domestic animals, and they are good at caring for them, and most rural people like to keep one.
"Why don't you have dogs in your village? Do you have such customs? ”
Mu Tongtong frowned lightly and seemed to be lost in thought, and after a while, she shook her head again and said, "I don't seem to have seen it, since I can remember, no one in the village has ever had a dog."
This village is too ...... It's weird.
"That's right." Mu Tongtong handed us the chopsticks and said, "What are your plans for today?"
What can be planned? There is no need to look for the old dragon cave, for today's plan, I can only go back to Xie Jian first and then make plans.
"We're going back after breakfast, and I disturbed you last night. Thank you for your hospitality. ”
Mu Tongtong didn't persuade again, but said, "I'm afraid we have to eat quickly." The bus back to the county will arrive at the station at noon, if you miss it, you can only wait for the day after tomorrow! ”
We didn't dare to slack off, "hulahula" and pulled the rice. Liu Yanyan looked around, and said with some curiosity: "By the way, Tong Tong, why didn't you see your brother come out to eat?"
Mu Tongtong's younger brother is called Mu Dongdong, and when we came to Mu's house last night, the little guy was already asleep.
But at this time, the sky was already bright, didn't Mu Dongdong get up yet?
The sadness in Mu Tongtong's eyes flashed, and she reluctantly smiled and said, "Dongdong's legs...... But don't worry, I'll bring him something to eat in a moment. ”
Although Mu Tongtong said vaguely, I could already hear the meaning of his words: Dongdong is only afraid that he is a little disabled.
I remembered the little boy I saw last night, and his eyelashes on his closed eyes were slightly closed like two small fans, and he looked very cute.
Liu Yanyan also felt a little surprised in his heart, bit his chopsticks, and said, "What's going on with Dongdong's legs?" Is it like this since childhood? ”
Mu Tongtong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Dongdong used to be very obedient and sensible, but last year...... Suddenly, one day, Dongdong couldn't stand up. ”
So suddenly?
"I came to call Dongdong for breakfast that morning, but he said that he couldn't feel the presence of his legs at all."
Mu Tongtong lowered his head when he said this, and stopped talking.
When we heard this, we all felt sad for her, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you go to the hospital to see it?" What do doctors say? ”
Mu Tongtong smiled bitterly and said, "How can we have any good doctors in this poor country? So I'm selling Miao embroidery now to save money, I just hope that one day I can take my younger brother to the big city for treatment and heal my brother's leg. ”
We were very moved, but there was nothing we could do. I had to persuade her: "It's going to be fine, it's going to be fine."
We had breakfast, and Mu Tongtong sent us back the same way. Coincidentally, we had just stopped at the waiting place when the bus came by.
We got into the car, and seeing that Mu Tongtong's figure waving behind the car was getting smaller and smaller, Zhao Fengzheng suddenly walked next to the driver and said, "Stop, we want to get out of the car."
Tan Zhe said: "Kite, what's wrong? Did something fall on Tong Tong's house? ”
Zhao Fengkite didn't have time to speak, but the driver frowned and said, "The ticket can't be refunded."
Naturally, we wouldn't argue with him over a few dollars for a ticket. After getting out of the car, Zhao Fengkite said, "Do you really plan to go home empty-handed?" Although Uncle Mu and Mu Tongtong said that the old dragon cave is a tomb circle, don't you want to go and see for yourself and find clues? Maybe Xie Yan didn't lie to you, the person we are looking for really lives there! ”
