Chapter 139: A Small Village in the Realm of Illusions
The man scolded, I shook my head and explained: "I'm really here to travel, this is my ID card, I don't believe you look at it".
I took out my ID card, and the man took it and said softly: "Lin Xuan, from Chongqing....".
I smiled slightly, and the man flipped to the back of the ID card to look at it, then handed it back and said, "Are you really here to travel"?
I nodded, said yes, the man looked at my right arm again, and said, "The first time I saw someone from outside here, your arm is so big that it will inevitably make people suspicious, okay, come in, see that you are also quite tired, come in and drink saliva and rest."
When I heard the man's words, I was suddenly stunned, glanced at my right arm slightly, nodded, and followed the man to a private house in the middle of the village, this house is no different from the countryside, the people around also shook their heads, and they were busy with their work, I followed the man into the house, and after sitting down, the man poured me a glass of water, I said thank you, took a sip, and then the man said: "You are with that tour group, why are you still lost."
I was stunned for a moment, and said with a sloppy look: "Oh, I'm traveling by car, I saw that the scenery here is good, and I wanted to take a few photos to commemorate it, but I got separated from my friends."
The man smiled and said, "The scenery here is really good, you young people like to be reckless, and you don't say anything in advance where you go, um.... Let's eat here at noon, it's almost twelve o'clock, I'll take you out after eating, after you go out, you should know the way, right?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, then thank you, what to call you".
"My surname is Pan, and I am the village chief here." Village Chief Pan spoke.
I nodded and said thank you, Village Chief Pan waved his hand politely and said, "Since you are not a bad person, you don't need to be so polite, I will help if I can."
I said yes, and Village Chief Pan also took a sip of water, and after a while, I saw a young woman walking out with food and vegetables, and when she saw me, she looked at Village Chief Pan with some doubts.
Village Chief Pan looked at me and said, "This little brother came to travel and got lost, so I'll bring it back, Gemini, take an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks."
The woman named Gezi nodded, took another pair of dishes and chopsticks from the kitchen, handed it to me with a smile, I said thank you, and then the village chief Pan pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Eat, you're welcome, it's good to be your own family, rest for a while after eating, it's still early anyway, don't worry."
I nodded, mumbled, moved my chopsticks, and looked at the delicious food in one bite, but after I chewed a few times, my face suddenly changed, and Village Chief Pan noticed the change in me, and said suspiciously: "What's wrong, isn't it appetizing?"
I was stunned, shook my head with an embarrassed smile, swallowed it and said, "No, it's very good, the home-cooked food in this countryside is really good, it has a kind of homely taste."
I seem to say this, but in fact, my heart is hard to die, this dish looks very fragrant, and it smells good, but as soon as I eat it, I feel that there is no taste at all, just like no salt, which really makes me very uncomfortable.
Village Chief Pan smiled and said, "Little brother, I haven't been home for a long time."
I nodded, took a bite of the still sweet rice, and Village Chief Pan smiled and said, "Why don't you go back and have a look."
I shook my head and said, "The work is too tight, I can't spare time when I want to go back."
Village Chief Pan nodded clearly and said, "My son is also as old as you, and he has only returned home once in a long time when he is studying outside, alas."
I was stunned for a moment, looked at Village Chief Pan, Village Chief Pan smiled again, and opened the topic and said: "Eat first, eat first, Gemini, today's dish is really good, the taste is just right, not salty or light, you see this little brother, they are all homesick."
The twins smiled and didn't speak, but I smiled bitterly and thought to myself, "Isn't this salty or light, it's not flavorful at all."
I quickly finished a bowl of rice, but the dish moved very little, and the twins saw that I had no rice in the bowl, and wanted to help me serve a bowl, but I waved my hand and refused: "Auntie, you're welcome, I'm full, and my stomach can't hold anything, hehe."
After I finished with an embarrassed smile, Village Chief Pan looked at me and said, "Young people need to eat a little more."
"I can't eat anymore, village chief, thank you for your hospitality."
Village Chief Pan waved his hand and said, "Hey, what's polite."
I smiled and said yes, took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and said, "Village Chief Pan, can I go around the village for a while, just eat and walk around."
Village Chief Pan took a piece of meat and said, "Okay, no problem."
I nodded, walked out the door, and as soon as I got down the stairs, I saw a dark-skinned man running over and shouting, "Village chief, village chief, my cow has died inexplicably, you can go and see it, this is the third one."
I stopped and looked back, Village Chief Pan was also stunned, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I'm dead again, wasn't it okay a few days ago."
"I don't know, when I just went to feed, I already fell to the ground and died, and there is an indescribable smell in the cowpen, not a rotten smell."
After the man finished speaking, Village Chief Pan sighed, walked out directly with the man, and when he passed me, he said to me: "Little brother, I'll go and see, you can walk around the village, and I'll be back in a while."
After Village Chief Pan finished speaking, the dark-skinned man also looked at me, didn't say anything, I said yes, the man and Village Chief Pan hurriedly walked out, and I continued to walk forward, but before I could walk long, I saw a woman rushing to Village Chief Pan's side, and said anxiously: "Village Chief!" My Dongzi has made a mistake again, this time it's worse than last time, and I'm convulsing all over my body, so go and help me take a look."
When I heard this, I stopped again, and when I looked back, Village Chief Pan frowned and said, "Dongzi is sick again?" Didn't you get cured last time, why did you come back again?"
"I don't know, Dongzi just came back from the field, he said he was uncomfortable, he slept without eating, I just wanted to call him, but I saw Dongzi convulsive, I pinched people and it was useless, village chief, you go and help me take a look, I'm going to die in a hurry."
The woman begged again, and Village Chief Pan glanced at the man next to him and said, "Huazi, you deal with it yourself first, and I'll go and see Dongzi's situation."
The man nodded and said, "Okay, you go and see Brother Dong first, he is more important than a cow."
Village Chief Pan snorted, followed the woman anxiously walked over, Village Chief Pan walked briskly, and said, "How is Dongzi doing now?"
The woman shook her head and said, "Bao'er is watching, so I'll come out to find you first."
Village Chief Pan nodded, I stood aside, I heard the whole process, I also frowned slightly, anyway, there was nothing to do, and I followed Village Chief Pan to the woman's house.
When the village chief Pan saw me follow, he didn't say anything, and the woman also glanced at me, at this time, she was anxious as numb, and there was so much to care about, we came to the woman's house, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a child standing by the bed, crying and screaming, and kept calling Daddy and Daddy.
The woman ran quickly, took the child in her arms, looked at the man lying on the bed, and asked, "Bao'er, don't be afraid, mother is here."
Bao'er still cried and screamed, wiping her tears, I felt a dead breath coming from the door as soon as I entered the door, I turned my head slightly, looked at Dongzi lying on the bed, Pan Village Chief also walked over quickly, skillfully gave Dongzi a pulse, this pulse, I saw Pan Village Chief was directly stunned on the spot, and unbelievably stretched out to probe Dongzi's snort, after a few seconds, Pan Village Chief suddenly withdrew his hand, looking at Dongzi in shock.
The woman had been standing next to her, and when she saw Village Chief Pan's move, her heart trembled, her eyes turned red, she put Bao'er down, rushed over, and said, "Village Chief, what's wrong with Dongzi"!!
Village Chief Pan didn't speak, she kept frowning, and the woman became even more anxious, holding Village Chief Pan's hand and shaking it, shouting anxiously.
