Chapter 716: A Dark Shadow in the Ground
Seeing those figures, my heart sank inexplicably, so many people are estimated to be really from the entire Qin family, could it be that the people of the Qin family are really dead?
Baili Xueji saw the uneasiness in my heart, and whispered to me, "Qin Ling, let's go to the field and have a look." ”
Well, I nodded, but the taste in my heart was mixed, my mind was almost blank, I didn't even know how I got to the cornfield, looking at the lush corn stalks in front of me, a gust of wind blew through and formed a wave, and the wave that should have been green in the night was black in my eyes.
I was about to walk in with Baili Xueji to have a look, when suddenly there was a sound in the cornfield, as if something was moving quickly in it, and it was accompanied by the sound of running water, which sounded weird.
How can there be running water in a cornfield?
I couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, I had already seen dozens of figures in the ground just now, and I wasn't sure if it was the Qin family, in case it was other ghosts,
Baili Xueji said softly: "Don't be nervous, I didn't feel the yin qi. ”
Baili Xueji's statement doesn't calm me down, think about my parents have always lived with me, and Baili Xueji has also stayed in my house, and I didn't feel that my parents have yin energy, who knows if it's the Qin family's zombies who came over?
Just when I was thinking in my heart, a black shadow came out of the cornfield, it was a black shadow, wrapped in a heavy black cloth, it looked particularly weird in this summer, how could a normal person wear such clothes, long sleeves and long pants are still so thick, ordinary people have already died of heat.
Poof, poof, poof.
The black shadow walked towards me, and with every step there was a strange sound under my feet, like the sound of rotten broken flesh being trampled underfoot, which made people feel very unnatural, and walked very slowly, and I didn't know what I was doing when I stopped step by step.
I could almost be sure that the thing in front of me was a zombie, because his actions were too different from ordinary people, but just as I was about to make a move, I saw the black shadow in front of me suddenly take a few quick steps, and then shouted at me: "Lingzi, what are you stinky boy doing in the field at night?" ”
This man is Dad.
I was speechless with my mouth open in surprise, looking at that familiar face and my head felt a little frozen, but looking at my father's face seemed quite natural, not like a zombie.
"Hey, it's a great thing you've found your friend." Dad saw Baili Xueji's eyes lit up, and then said to Baili Xueji: "Girl, don't you know, you have been away for a few days, Lingzi has been very bad, and I have to look for you every night without sleeping, you can't leave suddenly." ”
Baili Xueji nodded, "Let my uncle and aunt worry, I will definitely tell Qin Ling first next time I leave." ”
My head also turned around when my dad was talking to Baili Xueji, and I said to my dad, "Dad, why are you dressed like this, how hot it is on a hot day." ”
"Do you think I'm willing, this corn stalk grows to a person's height, if you don't wear long sleeves and long pants with a headscarf around your head, you will be cut out of your body when you drill in it, and if you sweat a little, it will hurt to death." Dad took out a plastic bottle, took out a dry tobacco pouch and smoked it, and then when I lit the cigarette, I saw that Dad's face was covered with black marks, and there were obvious finger marks on it.
"Dad, why are you so dirty on your face?"
"Nonsense, if you go into the cornfield and drill for a day, the dust and sweat in it will stick to your face, and it's no wonder if it's not dirty." Dad said a little angrily.
I said a little strangely: "Dad, what are you doing in the cornfield, and I saw a lot of people in the field, such as the Qin family." ”
"You're stupid at all for studying, and you don't know anything about farming," Dad said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "But it's okay, farming is a chore, and it's a good thing that you don't do it, otherwise you will have to suffer here like me." ”
I could only smile at my father, and then continued, "Dad, you haven't told me yet, what are you doing in the field?" ”
I have to ask this question clearly, because he has a relationship with whether the Qin family is dead, whether these people are zombies or not, and the most important thing is whether I killed the Qin family or not.
Dad took a puff of cigarette, pointed to the ground with a cigarette gun and said: "This corn is about to spit ears, it is the time for flowering and pollination, so it must be watered twice, if you don't water, it is likely to be pollinated and the yield will be reduced." ”
"It's watering the ground." I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, but I still said a little strangely: "It takes so many people to water the ground, and why do you need to water it at night?" ”
"Nonsense, our old Qin's land has always been planted together, and when the autumn harvest is divided according to the population, of course, the land will be watered together," Dad's cigarette finished smoking, knocked the cigarette pouch pot and sighed and said: "Our village is too backward, there is not even a well, if you want to water the ground, you have to bring water from the Jianiao River, one or two people can't water it at all, even if the big guys come to water it together, it will take at least two days to water it, we don't come to water the ground at night, but we have been teaching for a day during the day." ”
Dad looked a little vicissitudes and said, "Lingzi, do you know why we started pouring it today?" ”
I actually wanted to ask this question in my heart, and I have been wondering why the watering of the ground happened to be in time for the full moon of the fifteenth month, which also happened to be the day that Qin Yuxian and Grandma Huang said, it would be too coincidental to say that it was too coincidental.
Seeing me shaking my head, my father sighed again and said: "It's not that our village is backward, the clanging of the poor families, and there is not even a flashlight, so we can only come out when the moon is the brightest. ”
I nodded, my dad was right, the village was not even willing to light the lamp oil at night, let alone buy a flashlight, and there was no electricity in the village, and it always cost to buy an ordinary flashlight, the battery was too wasteful and not too bright, and there was nowhere to charge the flashlight.
After all, the village is too backward, and the big village doesn't even have a basic household appliances.
However, the mystery in my heart has also been solved, it turns out that it is not the Qin family that has turned into zombies and absorbed the essence of the sun and moon in the ground to cultivate, but the Qin family who came here to water the ground, thinking that my parents and the Qin family are not dead, my mood is also much better.
"Dad, I want to ask, why are there so many fish bones in our stewed chicken soup?"
