When the next day was cleaned up, the three of them had some breakfast in the town and left the hotel, the fat man drove all the way and the three of us had to continue to hurry, the car drove slowly all morning, and finally saw the village in the mountains.

Waiting to the front of the village, the country road paved with stones, the car was very difficult to drive, the fat man had to park the car at the head of the village, got out of the car and led the way in front, Chen Haoyue and I followed one after another, at a glance the village is not big, surrounded by lofty mountains and lush trees.

Along the way, I stopped and stopped, but I rarely saw young people, most of them were old people basking in the sun at the door, quite a poetic pastoral life. Along the way, we could see a lot of planted vegetables and bud rice fields, and occasionally a few tractors hurried past us, the car was full of bud rice and the joy on the driver's face, you can see that most of the people in the village make a living from farming.

The fat man said to us as he walked along the way: "In the past few years, there has been no development in this place, there is no one in the village all the year round, and many young people have gone to work in other places in order to live, at most, they come back once in a while during the New Year's holiday, and most of the people who stay are some old people." ”

After listening to the fat man's words, I couldn't help but lament for this current society full of money and material things.

At this moment, an old man walked up to the three of us, and when we came to the fat man, the two of us hugged each other tightly.

I was a little puzzled, and turned my head to look at the fat man, but the fat man's face was full of joy, it seemed that this should be a relative I hadn't seen for a long time.

The old man saw me and Chen Haoyue, and also came over to greet the two of us, listening to the conversation between the old man and the fat man along the way, I learned that I was mistaken, the fat man's hometown has no relatives at all, because of the perennial work in the field, has not been home for many years.

The old man took us to a large compound, I looked at the brand new house in front of me, and estimated that it should be a new house built in the past two years, the house is very well decorated, but no one has lived in it for a long time, and it is covered with a thin layer of dust.

"Little fatty, take your daughter-in-law and friends to live in my son's new house for a few days, anyway, this house is idle, you just stay here to play for a few days before leaving, and the uncle will get you something to eat later."

Chen Haoyue's face turned red when she heard this, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Uncle, I'm afraid you are mistaken, the three of us are just friends." ”

The fat man was also a little embarrassed when he saw it, scratched his head and said, "Uncle, you are really mistaken, the two of them are just my friends, how can we be embarrassed by your kindness, I brought you something, you must take it today." ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he sent the two cartons of milk bought from the town to the old man, and the old man shook his head vigorously and said no, but in the end he couldn't resist the fat man's excuse, and the old man reluctantly accepted it after the two of them reluctantly accepted it.

Then the fat man said: "Uncle, I actually came here to ask you about something, do you remember where Uncle Zhang, who used to tell stories to us children in the village when he was a child, has gone now?" ”

"Lao Zhang, he left a few years ago! Ay... By the way, what are you looking for him? The old man said with a sigh, and the smile on his face was gone.

"It's not like you said, the main reason we came this time is to find him, we are going to the Candle Dragon Ridge that he mentioned to me before."

After listening to this, the old man nodded, and then said: "So that's the case, but unfortunately his son and daughter-in-law have gone to work in other places, and he has a grandson who has recently been on vacation. ”

After listening to it, I secretly screamed in my heart, it seems that this time it is another trip for nothing, how can a child know so much, it seems that there is no fun again.

"At that moment, please let your old man show us the way, hope is better than nothing." Chen Haoyue suddenly spoke.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's noon, it's not easy for you to come so far, I'll get you something to eat first, and then we'll go after eating together." ”

In the face of the old man's kindness, the three of us are not easy to refuse, we can only eat first and then go to see, and after the old man left, I saw the fat man sneakily took out his wallet from his pocket and stuffed five red tickets into the two cartons of milk, and my heart was suddenly full of emotion, I didn't expect this fat man to have my style.

After the three of us had eaten, the old man took us to a house and said, "That child lives in this house, called Zhang Xiaobraid, this child has a very strange personality, and he doesn't like to play with other people's children, and he likes to run to the barren mountains in the east when he has nothing to do. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before we could react, the old man left in a hurry. This house looks very ordinary, and there is nothing unusual, why are you in such a hurry.

When we walked to the door and opened the door, the lights were turned off in the room, the windows were also tightly blocked, the black was pitch and I couldn't see my fingers, and it was surprisingly quiet, there was no one in the room, where did this pigtail go?

I was a little puzzled, after a while, suddenly a pair of hands patted my shoulder behind my back and blindfolded me, I was immediately stunned, I thought it was Chen Haoyue, and when the hands were let go, I immediately turned to look at her, but Chen Haoyue also looked at me blankly, she asked if someone touched her thigh just now if I was doing a ghost, I said this is impossible, someone patted me on the shoulder just now, there will be no ghosts in his mother's house, right?

Just as Chen Haoyue and I were puzzled, the fat man suddenly shouted into the dark room: "Zhang Xiaobraid, you little rabbit cub don't come out soon." ”

The fat man's voice was loud, and the voice echoed through the room, and after a while all the lights in the room were turned on, and the words of a child were heard.

"It turned out to be a fat brother, I haven't seen him for a few years."

At this time, a little boy walked out from behind us, I don't think he is more than a teenager, this should be the old man's pigtail, it turns out that he was playing ghost just now, no wonder the old man said that he has a very strange personality.

"You little rabbit cub, you didn't go to the mountains to train rats to earn pocket money, but hid in this house and pretended to be a ghost, almost scaring your fat brother's brother stupid." The fat man immediately looked at me after speaking, which meant that I was almost stupid by Zhang Xiaobraid.

"Didn't go, hehe, aren't you waiting for the fat brother to come back, let's go together in a while." Zhang Xiaobraid squinted his eyes and said with a grin.

"You little brat, don't scare your sister if it's okay, and touch your sister's thighs less in the future." Chen Haoyue said shyly.

"Sister Fairy, this... This.. You have wronged me, obviously it was the kid behind you who touched it just now, how can you blame me, little brother? Zhang Xiaobraid looked at me and said with a look of contempt.

I scratched my head, thought carefully about what I did accidentally touch when I turned around just now, I thought it was a beam and pillar, and it was quite slippery when I touched it with my hand.

Without waiting for me to react, Chen Haoyue immediately walked towards me, I was a little embarrassed when I saw her, so I could only lower my head as if this had never happened, but what I didn't expect was that she didn't hit me, but said to me: "You are the first person to touch me, now you must promise me three conditions, otherwise you will wait and die!" ”

"Yes... OK... It's okay to be a cow or a horse for you in this life, Sister Fairy, spare this little life first. ”

"Humph! Remember this for me first, and there will be a chance to rectify you later! ”

After Chen Haoyue finished speaking, the fat man and Zhang Xiaobraid suddenly burst out laughing.

I blushed and hurriedly said, "Enough is enough, don't joke here, let's hurry up and get down to business." ”

After I finished speaking, the fat man told Zhang Xiaobraid about the matter, and Zhang Xiaobraid waved a scissor hand at the fat man after listening, what is the situation when I see this? Before I could react, the fat man took out two red tickets from his wallet and handed them to Zhang Xiaobraid, and I immediately understood: No wonder people in this world die for money, birds die for food, and even a ten-year-old child loves money so much.
