At this moment, we had just turned a corner, and Qixi pointed straight ahead and said.

Sure enough, directly in front of us, there is a small hill, although it is said to be a small hill, but in this flat city of Beijing, this hill is considered a high ground.

"Let's go, let's see how Xiaoyu chooses the place for herself!"

I nodded at Aunt Wang, and Qixi followed us at the same time.

Out of the alley, under the hill is a village, at this time the smoke is filling, it is evening, and it is time for the farmer to make dinner.

"Does Xiaoyu have any family?"

When I came to the head of the village, there was a stream in front of me, and on the top of the stream was a stone hole bridge, and there was a pavilion next to it, in which a stone statue was erected, neither a stone dare nor a Bodhisattva or anything like that, I looked at it, and it was not marked with an inscription.

And there is incense ash in front of this stone statue, which should be enjoying the incense offerings in the world, at least the people in this scattered place are worshipping him, but what is he?

"We can only ask one person about this!"

After crossing the Shikong Bridge, this is the entrance to the village, we saw that someone in front of us was coming, and we were ready to go over and ask Xiaoyu if she had any family, she couldn't be dead, and even her family didn't know, right?

"Hehehe~"

"What sound?"

I looked at Aunt Wang, and Qixi, who bought it later, also stopped, and both of them looked at me with curious expressions and strange expressions.

"What are you two expressions on? Didn't you hear a girl smiling at me? ”

I looked around, there were no girls at all, and Aunt Wang and Qixi both shook their heads inexplicably, neither of them heard.

"You really didn't hear a girl laughing?"

I'm going, am I hell? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Ghosts keep finding me?

"No, no sound!"

Aunt Wang had a bitter face, listened carefully, and finally shook her head.

"What about you?"

I look like Qixi, this guy hasn't spoken, who knows if he heard?

"Does the rooster crow and the dog bark? My hearing is good, I can only hear enough screams from inside the village! ”

Qixi's expression was very serious, and it didn't look like he was joking with me when he said this, but I thought he was playing with me, and I was asking about the girl's voice, and you told me that it was a dog barking, what do you mean?

Kill me, do you?

"Okay, go find someone and ask if there are any people in Xiaoyu's house!"

I looked around, and there were no little girls outside of the beautiful mountains and rivers, and there were no natural pollution-free children. I thought it was hidden in the cornfield on the side, but when I looked at it, there was no movement in the cornfield, and there was no one at all.

"You're different!"

I hadn't taken a few steps when the voice came from behind me.

"Gege, are you alright?"

Seeing that I hurriedly looked around, Aunt Wang asked worriedly.

Behind is the creek, the stream just flows quietly, we can't hear the stream from this position, I don't think it's an auditory hallucination, the girl's voice is really there, talking to me.

And her sentence "You are different from others" scared me even more, did she see that I was not from the Qing Dynasty?

"It's okay, let's hurry into the village!"

I shook my head, if I heard someone talking to me, I was afraid that Aunt Wang and Qixi would think I was crazy. I hurried to the village, but I didn't hear her speak again.

"Gege, I'll ask if anyone here knows Xiaoyu!"

Aunt Wang said a word, and walked towards an ancient old man in front. I watched the two of them talk for a while, the old man seemed to have a bad ear, and Aunt Wang was stunned to get to his ear and just pulled his ear to talk to him.

I looked at all this and couldn't help but want to laugh, but the old man was also a little old, maybe he should know Xiaoyu, but then he shook his head, and pointed to Aunt Wang, as if he was pointing the way, and then said a few words to Aunt Wang and walked to the village with a hoe.

"How's it going? He doesn't seem to know? ”

I looked at Aunt Wang, if I didn't know her, forget it, we will find a place on the hill to bury Xiaoyu's ashes.

"He said he didn't know, and he fled to the village after two years of famine, so let's ask the village chief here, maybe the village chief knows."

Things are really strange, this old and escaped, are all loess buried to the neck of the people, the ancient people did not pay attention to the fallen leaves to return to the roots, even if they die in their hometown, is he an exception?

"Well, did you ask where the village chief lives?"

I always felt that the old man seemed to be a little eccentric, indescribably eccentric, and he should be a person from this place, because this place is like a paradise, but this place is not more than a hundred miles away from the city of Beijing.

Anyway, it's beautiful and quiet. Not to mention the clarity of the air, the air was clear everywhere in the entire Qing Dynasty. The main thing is that here is different from the outside, there is no hustle and bustle, everything is very beautiful, as described in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring". Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Occasionally, Longhu is plowing in the fields, and this picture scroll can only be described in one word - beauty.

"Say, I'll lead the way."

Aunt Wang answered and took us into the village.

There are many households in the village, no less than 100 families, you must know that in such a historical era, there is a place where hundreds of families gather at the same time, how rare it is, water source, land, this is a big problem.

But here, there are fertile fields outside, small streams flowing, and although there are no mountains, it is indeed a place where food and clothing are not worried.

In any place, as long as there is water and land, then you don't have to worry about running out of food.

In the village, Aunt Wang went to knock on the door. It's not the kind of dealer compound that knocks on the door, and there's a gate or something. In fact, it is a courtyard house surrounded by some wooden stakes and seven or eight thatched huts.

However, this is enough to show that this family, that is, in the village chief's house, in this place, is considered a large household, although it is not a landlord, but his house is the most here, we have seen the most houses are four or five thatched houses, and there are eight here.

In any period, it is a criterion to describe whether a family has money or not, and whether there are many houses is considered a standard, and the village chief's family, judging from the house, is rich, even if it is just some thatched houses.

Aunt Wang knocked on the stake a few times, and after a while, an old woman came out, with gray hair and wrinkled face, and looked very old.

"Who are you?"

The old woman walked up to us, and did not rush to open the wooden door for us, but looked at us before asking.

She was still staring at Qixi when she spoke, especially when Qixi was still holding a sword in her hand, she was even more vigilant.

"Old woman, we are here to find the old village chief, if you want to ask the village chief something, you know that we can answer it!"

I took a step forward, but the old woman was so frightened that she took a step back, and in desperation, I had to stand still and tell her.

"What are you asking?"

The old man was a long time old, and his speech was trembling, and the wrinkles on his face were wriggling as his mouth twitched, as if a caterpillar was wriggling.

"We are going to ask Xiaoyu, may I ask the old woman, do you know Xiaoyu? And her family, we want to find her family! ”

"Xiaoyu?"

When the old man heard my words, he asked curiously, and he stopped talking!

"We don't have Xiaoyu, and I don't know what Xiaoyu's family is, you better hurry up, you see it's getting dark, I won't talk to you!"

I thought that the old woman was recalling me if there was such a person as Xiaoyu, after all, Xiaoyu had been away from here for many years, and it was hard to guarantee that she would recall, but I didn't expect her to come directly.

"Can you think again, old woman?"

"There's nothing to think about, let's go, we don't have Xiaoyu here!"

The old woman suddenly became a little resolute, and after saying a word, she turned around and left, no matter how much we called her, she did not look back, and ignored us.

"What should I do?"

I thought that the old people were good-hearted, and when they saw that a few of us were from other places, they would take us to the house for a homely meal.

"Goo Goo Goo ~~~"

What do you want, just thinking of this stubble, my stomach screamed uncontrollably, which made me embarrassed for a while, and there were Aunt Wang and Qixi by my side!

"Gege, are you hungry? Yes, you haven't eaten since you came out of the palace today, and you're going to suffer! ”

Aunt Wang came forward to protect me, looking haggard and worried, as if if I didn't eat a meal, people wouldn't be able to do it.

I am very moved, there is Aunt Wang around me at all times to protect me and take care of me, even my own mother has never treated me like this.

"There's something going on here!"

I shook my head at Aunt Wang, and at this time Qixi's face was gloomy, and I didn't know what he meant.

"The old lady is hiding something!"

Seeing that Aunt Wang and I were looking at him strangely, Qixi explained again.

"Are you saying they know about Xiaoyu's family, but don't want to tell us?"

What's going on? I thought about the old lady's expression just now, and she was obviously stunned when she spoke, especially when we asked Xiaoyu, is there really something wrong with this?

"Maybe there's something in this, I've felt different from this village since we came in, and the old lady's expression just now proved it."
