Chapter 2: Searching for Zhang Wu at Night

Grandma Zhang's full name is: Zhang Shufen, every time I see her, her old man always thinks about telling me about my daughter-in-law, which makes me cry and laugh, but only Grandma Zhang calls me a little second dog, I am not disgusted, but I feel very kind, this may have something to do with the fact that I have no grandmother since I was a child~

"Grandma Zhang, you're laughing again, do you want me to help with anything?" Grandma Zhang has only one son under her knees, but she is a fool, named "Zhang Wu" nicknamed Huzi, a person in his thirties, and often runs around without pants, and the people in the neighboring village are very unkind to him, but he looks five big and three thick, and few people dare to bully him head-on, but a few little ruffians in the neighboring village often see him and hit him with mud and stones, he is not in a hurry, let them smash, and often return to the village with injuries.

Grandma Zhang is distressed and only knows how to cry, only to find me to treat his wounds, because of the recognition of life, in addition to me and Grandma Zhang, he does not let others touch him, I have been taken care of by Grandma Zhang since I was a child, and naturally I also have some feelings for Zhang Wu, although Zhang Wu is stupid, he knows how to go down to the river to touch the fish, the water is excellent, when I was a child, I did not eat less fish he touched, so I have no barrier to him.

Uncle Li brought me gadgets I often give to Zhang Wu, see him in his hand like a child happy, to me and hug and hug, I feel better, thinking of the hard-working Grandma Zhang, this is also the only thing I can do, the village also asked the doctor to show Zhang Wu, it is said that grandpa also showed him, but helpless, grandpa also told me to help Grandma Zhang's family in my spare time, I am naturally very happy.

"You kid, can't grandma look for you if it's okay? I just met the third uncle at the entrance of the village, I knew that you were home alone, and I listened to the tone of the third uncle, and I came back very late, so I came over to let you go to grandma's house for dinner, Huzi took a few more fish, grandma couldn't eat so much, it just so happened that your Uncle Li was also there, and we went over together, so that grandma's house was lively. Grandma Zhang caught a glimpse of Uncle Li and said happily

"Okay, it just so happened that Xiao Ergou brought me two bottles of good wine, and I was thinking about where to solve this meal in the afternoon." Uncle Li happily agreed

"Let's go~" said Grandma Zhang and stepped forward

When Uncle Li went out, I turned around and locked the door, it stands to reason that these small deserted villages are not closed at night, after all, they are all old neighbors for decades, everyone knows the roots, besides, there is nothing to steal in this house, but because of those gods and ghosts, every household will go out behind closed doors, and grandpa also explained that I have to close the door at home or not, although I don't believe these gods and ghosts, but I basically won't refute grandpa's explanation, close the door casually, a trivial matter.

A group of three people are talking and laughing, I am very happy to visit the countryside this matter, unlike the neighbors in the city who have lived in the neighborhood for a lifetime and may not know each other, where you can enjoy the guest treatment when you knock on the door of any house, and know each other, there is always an endless topic to talk about when you sit down.

Soon arrived at Grandma Zhang's house, although it is a desolate village, but Grandma Zhang has arranged the home very well, you can smell the fragrance of flowers in the morning, a corner of the courtyard and I went to school before, designed by Grandma Zhang I helped build the rockery, the trees and flowers on the rockery have survived, there is a stream of water down the mountain, there is a small pool at the base of the rockery, there are a few koi swimming in the pool, at the moment is splashing at the place of oxygen inhalation, smell the sound has always been crowded, it can be seen that these fish Grandma Zhang should have raised for a long time, I have seen the rockery design in the cityAlthough it was Grandma Zhang's command to do it, I also admired Grandma Zhang's design, and once doubted whether Grandma Zhang was a designer before, but this guess couldn't even convince me, because Grandma Zhang was illiterate at all~

"These fish were brought back by Huzi last year, and it's rare that these fish are alive, so I'll raise them, sit casually, and grandma will cook for you." Grandma Zhang said and went into the kitchen.

"Grandma, where's Uncle Zhang?" I found a stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, and Li Shu didn't have any interest, so he naturally lit another cigarette.

"I don't know, I'm afraid I'm going up the mountain to hunt birds again, no matter him, he'll be back when the meal arrives" Grandma Zhang was killing the fish that Zhang Wu touched back today, and the work in her hand was not idle, and she raised her head to respond to me.

I didn't ask any more, and continued to chat with Uncle Li, although Grandma Zhang is over fifty years old, she can't see it at all, and she can still see everyone's beautiful temperament in her gestures, and she must have been a beauty when she was young.

Even at this moment, she looks like a beautiful young woman in her early forties at most, Grandma Zhang never wants me to help when cooking, and if I insist on helping, I will be anxious with me, so after a few times, I will no longer come forward, to say that Grandma Zhang's cooking skills are really good, the good dishes that are cooked, especially the sweet and sour fish, really, no matter how you eat it, you will not get tired of it, and I drool when I think about it.

I also asked Grandma Zhang for this craft, and Grandma Zhang also taught me, but I never knew the essence of it, although the fish tasted good, but it was never able to catch up with Grandma Zhang's cooking, and soon, the vegetables were fragrant, and I was not hungry and smelled hungry.

Grandma Zhang has carried the vegetables to the table, there are fish and meat, and there are a few side dishes, if you want to say what I like the most in this small mountain village, that is, I eat, the ingredients are real mountain treasures, to say that the meat and birds and animals are game, and there are also domestic livestock, but even the domestic livestock are grown up eating grain, there is absolutely no hormone, and the vegetables, either home-grown, or wild vegetables picked in the mountains, the taste is pure, it is indescribable. Uncle Li had already opened the wine I brought to him, rubbing his hands and drooling.

"Look at your gluttony, there is also a snack for you, it will be good right away, don't steal it," Grandma Zhang said and turned around and went into the kitchen.

It's so delicious, how can there be a reason not to steal it, Uncle Li is an elder, although he can't bear it, it's always hard to start, but I'm different, hehe~ I looked at Uncle Li, and my hand stretched out~

"How does it taste ~ goo ~ " Uncle Li asked with a dry swallow of saliva and his head reached.

I didn't speak, I just licked my lips and had an aftertaste, Uncle Li couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out and grabbed it on the table~

"I said that I was not allowed to eat secretly, two bastards~" Grandma Zhang came over with snacks.

Uncle Li retracted his hand embarrassedly, the smile was so ugly, I hurriedly got up and walked towards Grandma Zhang with a hippie smile, took the appetizer in Grandma Zhang's hand, the fragrant kiss came to my nose, and my hand stretched out again without obeying the call, and was stopped by Grandma Zhang in time, in front of me was a plate of small fish and shrimp, although it was a very simple dish, but because it was original, coupled with Grandma Zhang's cooking skills, the fragrance was naturally thick.

"Beat you stealing hands~" Although it was a beating, Grandma Zhang patted me lightly.

"Grandma, why hasn't Uncle Zhang come back yet?" I was busy pretending to be hurt, putting the dishes on the table, and seeing that Grandma Zhang was about to call again, I hurriedly opened my mouth to change the topic.

"It's okay, let's eat first, I'll leave him a good dish." As she spoke, Grandma Zhang withdrew her hand and sat down with us.

Of course we are welcome, the countryside is already full of people, first come, first served, not so particular, Uncle Li has already poured wine, three glasses. Grandma Zhang also has some alcohol, and she has a good taste for wine, good wine, bad wine, real wine, fake wine, mixed wine, and it is immediately clear in Grandma Zhang's mouth. I really doubt what Grandma Zhang did when she was young, but I really can't think of any career like this.

"Well, little Ergou, this wine is not bad." Grandma Zhang pursed her lips and nodded

Of course, this bottle of wine is more than 300, all of which are the money I saved from my part-time job, but when I bought it, it made me really distressed~!

"Come on, come on, try my old woman's craftsmanship, do it~" As soon as Grandma Zhang's voice fell, Uncle Li and I tasted every dish like a hungry dog grabbing food, and ate secretly, but when the countryside has a banquet, the elders raise the wine and open the glass, and then move the chopsticks, which is the basic etiquette.

After three rounds of drinking, the sky is already dark, I am also a little dizzy, still not see Zhang Wu return home, seeing that Grandma Zhang is already a little anxious, Uncle Li and I also began to worry, although we are full of wine and food at this time, but Uncle Zhang Wu is still hungry, thinking about it, I can't help but feel some guilt in my heart, so I opened my mouth to Grandma Zhang and said: "Grandma, I'll go find Uncle Zhang Wu." ”

"It's okay, you bring a flashlight" out of anxiety, but also out of trust in me, but also because I don't treat me as an outsider, plus in addition to Grandma Zhang, Zhang Wu only recognizes me, Grandma Zhang did not hesitate to agree, and after speaking, she went into the back room and took the flashlight and handed it to me.

"Be careful, I'm here with Aunt Zhang." Uncle Li also understands Zhang Wu's temperament, so he depends on me.

"Well~ don't worry, I'm leaving" I said and walked outside.

I have had a lot of contact with Zhang Wu since I was a child, and I naturally know the places he frequents, so I didn't think much about it, so I walked directly to the grave mountain behind the village with a flashlight~

Speaking of Zhang Wu, although he is stupid, he still has the basic ability to survive, and even much stronger than ordinary people, going up the mountain and down the river is not a problem, this is one of them, although there is no cooking skills, but barbecue meat and fish or something is also a must, this is probably inherited from Grandma Zhang.

Thinking about it, I have left the village, leaving the range of the street lamp, I turned on the flashlight and walked straight forward, leaving the main road in the village, the road narrowed, these paths were undug, basically people walked out, the trees on both sides of the road were overgrown, and the weeds in many places were higher than people, but I was specially trained by my grandfather since I was a child, plus several years of experience in martial arts school, the rugged mountain road in the eyes of others was like walking on the ground for me.

Although it has entered the early winter, the moonlight is good tonight, the sky is full of stars, the moonlight is sprinkled in the forest, and with the call of insects and birds in the forest, the eerie horror in the eyes of others, this time in my eyes is beautiful, slowly adapted to the darkness, but also because I don't want to destroy this beautiful scenery, I put away the flashlight and continue to walk through the moon, without the flashlight, the scenery is very different, it looks more and more beautiful~

It's strange to say, our village doesn't even have a decent road, out of the village into the city also have to go over the mountains, but the village is actually electrified, and there are street lights, but although there is no telephone, no one in the village uses a mobile phone, because there is no signal transmission station, you can only be an electronic meter with a mobile phone, the only communication tool in the village is a landline of the village chief's house, someone calls the village chief will broadcast in the loudspeaker, informing who who is going to answer the phone, the only way for us to contact the outside world is also which telephone.

"Wow~la~"

"Uncle Zhang Wu, is that you?" I was in a state of distraction, but I heard the sound of the grass and trees in the forest, and I hurriedly followed the sound.

Although there was no response, I saw a figure flickering, affected by visibility, I couldn't see the person clearly, and there was no response when I called again, and I didn't think much about it and left the path into the woods, chasing the figure~

The road was really rough at this time, and after a while, I still didn't see anyone in the weeds that were one person high, and I wondered, with my skills, this guy can run faster than me?

I looked up and saw a tree ten steps away, three or two steps to the bottom of the tree, a pedaling and grabbed a tree trunk with the help of force, turned over the tree, the tree was about five meters high, and with the help of the hand and foot, I quickly climbed to the top of the tree, this position is indeed a good sight, I also saw the figure before, this blink of an eye that the figure has reached the edge of the wasteland.

Further ahead is the grave mountain of our village, I can see the fire in the grave mountain, I think it should be Uncle Zhang Wu is there again barbecue meat and fish, I don't worry much about the figure, seeing that the terrain under the tree is flat, I jumped straight from the trunk, landed on the ground and rolled forward, buffered the impact of the body and the ground, stabilized the body with the power of the forward rush, and rushed forward quickly.
