"Mr. Xiaojiu, what's wrong with the old? Could it be...... He's dead?! ”

In the distance, Liu Xiaoguang, who was sitting under the big willow tree, saw me slowly moving forward with the old, and couldn't help jumping up in surprise, running to me quickly, hurriedly working with me, erecting the old, and staring closely at the old's face, looking panicked.

"What are you afraid of? He's not dead! I glanced at Liu Xiaoguang angrily, and then said: "He is just weak, temporarily unconscious, and he will be fine when he wakes up and eats something." ”

"Oh!"

Liu Xiaoguang nodded heavily, and took a long sigh of relief, and asked, "Mr. Xiaojiu, in that ancient well...... Didn't you hear any strange noises?! ”

"Xiaoguang, don't worry about the ancient well first, let me ask you, do you know a woman named 'Xiao Pity' who keeps talking in the mouth of the old shitman?" I thought about it, and said the name of the old to Liu Xiaoguang seriously, but when Liu Xiaoguang heard it, his face changed greatly, and I asked in surprise: "What?" Is there anything wrong? ”

"No, no, it's not wrong, it's very wrong, Mr. Xiaojiu, maybe you don't know, we do have a woman named Xiaolian in Liujiagou, but ......"

Liu Xiaoguang hesitated for a moment, looked at the old again with an uncertain expression, and then said in a slurred: "But...... But that little pity is someone else's wife...... It has nothing to do with the old! ”

"Huh? Nothing to do with old? Then why did the old egg stay for days and almost starve to death on the edge of the ancient well? ”

I looked at Liu Xiaoguang in astonishment, he didn't mean to deceive me, and immediately asked, "Tell me, who is that little pity?" ”

"Little mercy...... Xiao Lian is Liu Wang's wife in the village not long after she passed the door, her full name is Yan Rulian, she is twenty-eight years old, and she looks so good! Liu Xiaoguang said, leaning in my ear in a low voice, and muttered: "She is a rare beautiful girl in our village......"

"Ahem!"

I pretended to clear my throat, and communicated a lot with Liu Xiaoguang, a kid, I always felt that everything was like a thief, and I was so stealthy when I said something, the so-called De Jin, the dialect of this place, means a praise for something, or a feeling, such as describing a person's beauty, or describing the mood of a certain moment, etc., after thinking about it, I continued to ask: "Then is there anyone else in your village with the word 'pity' in their name?" ”

"That'...... No! ”

Liu Xiaoguang thought about it seriously and shook his head decisively, but then said: "There is an old man with the word mercy in his name, called Liu Lianqing, but he is an old man in his eighties, and he is not a big beauty, let alone a woman!" ”

"Nonsense! Old bastards don't call a big man, right?! ”

I glanced at Liu Xiaoguang angrily, thought about it for a while, and said, "How is the old egg on weekdays?" It is...... It's him and ...... How to get along with the villagers...... You should understand what I'm talking about, like does he molest some women or something? ”

"Hey, hey! I understand what Mr. Xiaojiu means, speaking of which, there is nothing out of the ordinary for the old, and it is common for the villagers to giggle all day long, thinking that he is an old bachelor, and he also likes to laugh, so the villagers like to joke about him when they have anything to do, saying that they will find him a daughter-in-law or something to amuse him, but ...... He treats both men and women the same, not particularly for women, in short, like the rest of the village. ”

Liu Xiaoguang sighed lightly, maybe he couldn't tell if the old was any special right or wrong for a while, he lowered his head and thought for a while, Liu Xiaoguang nodded and said: "The old is a good person, who has a farm job that can't be done on weekdays, as long as he calls him, it is on call, but it is just a meal, maybe he also wants to eat." ”

"After talking for a long time, the character of the old seems to be fine, so why do the villagers agree that Wang Cuicui's death is related to the old?"

I pondered and pondered, although Liu Xiaoguang's words did not mean to favor either side, but invisibly, he had already exonerated the old.

"Although no one has seen the old rude to my cousin-in-law, it is a fact that my cousin-in-law died in the old's house, there is no doubt about it, we all saw the old wrong in the past!"

Liu Xiaoguang thought of Wang Cuicui's death, his face couldn't help but turn red at his young age, I think, most of it is related to Wang Cuicui's death.

"There's one more question."

When I was about to return to the gate of the old, I stopped and asked seriously, "The old really has nothing to do with that Yan Rulian?" ”

"Mr. Xiaojiu, it doesn't matter at all, I estimate that the two of them haven't even met, at the beginning of this year, Liu Wang married Yan Rupian through the door, the young daughter-in-law is shy, rarely goes out of the gate and the villagers Kan Dashan, and Liu Wang's guy is also stingy, there is a beautiful wife who is reluctant to take it out, plus Liu Wang has gone out to do business in the spring to autumn in the three seasons, that Yan Rupian A little daughter-in-law who has just passed the door will not go out of the door, even now, not many people have seen that Yan Rupian, unless you go to Liu Wang's house in person!"

Liu Xiaoguang told the affairs of Liu Wang's family like a few treasures, like a know-it-all.

In this way, it is even more unusual, the old egg has almost never seen Yan Rulian, why does he keep lying on the edge of the ancient well and chanting Yan Rulian's name? And the love is sincere, as if it is not someone else's wife, but his wife, which is really overwhelming, by the way, is Liu Wang coming back from a long trip now? "I think about it, maybe this Liu Wang family will also involve something.

"I've been back a long time ago, I heard that his partner in business cheated him, and he almost put all the capital into it, no, he came back and farmed honestly, but these days, I haven't seen Liu Wang go out to chat and ridicule the villagers, I don't know what to do at home."

Speaking of Liu Wang, Liu Xiaoguang's eyes were full of curiosity.

"You want to know so much, didn't you play with Liu Wang? By the way, you can also meet his beautiful little daughter-in-law! ”

I smiled wryly and said.

"Mr. Xiaojiu, you can't say this, Liu Wang's guy is notoriously stingy, if a young man like me goes to his house every day to play, then it won't be misunderstood as molesting his wife? Things in the village are so tight that if you don't get it right, it will make people gossip, I might as well sit at the entrance of the village and talk to the villagers! ”

Liu Xiaoguang smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Xiaojiu, since you are all back, why don't you come in? Your master is waiting! ”

Far away, in front of the courtyard gate of the old, the old smoke pot waved to me with a smoke pot.

"Oh!"

At this time, the courtyard of the old egg has been cleaned by the other villagers present, and the tables and chairs in the house have also been cleaned up, seeing Jia Tiangui pestle beside the master, looking at me indifferently, I snorted coldly, got the old egg into the hall, and reclined it on the chair.

"What's wrong with him?"

Master sat down next to the table, at this moment, someone put a bottle of sorghum wine on the table, Master was pouring a large cup into his stomach, and when he saw me put the old egg on the chair, he asked casually.

"Master, the old egg was overly hungry, coupled with severe dehydration, he passed out!"

I gasped for a few breaths and said earnestly.

"Well, pinch people, when he wakes up, feed him some tea first, and then eat something, the master has something to ask him!" Master said, slowly putting down the wine glass, but seeing that I didn't move for a long time, Master frowned and asked, "Why don't you move?" ”

"Master, I can't ask why I woke up even though I was thinking about it, because ...... Because he's not crazy! I shook my head.

"Is it serious that I'm crazy with your master?!"

Master glared at me angrily.

"This ...... That's not what I mean, Master, you don't know, when he wakes up, he always calls a woman's name, and this woman ......."

I glanced at the villagers gathered around, and I didn't know how to speak for a while, if I said that the old was worried about Liu Wang's wife, Yan Rupi, I am afraid that the villagers would be shocked.

"Which woman? Isn't it my niece?! The master blew his beard, got up and looked at the old, but did not step forward to take a closer look, but said in a cold voice: "Well, he is indeed delirious, and his soul is not complete!" ”

"Hmmm! What he called out in his mouth was...... "My old face is red, this thing is something that offends people, if it is not good, it will make the villagers misunderstand, and then looked at Liu Xiaoguang, I said: "Xiaoguang, you know more than me, or you say it!" ”

"Old gentleman, what he called out of his mouth was the name of Liu Wang's wife in the village, Xiao Pian ......"

As soon as Liu Xiaoguang said this, all the villagers present were shocked, and they exploded with a bang!
