Seeing that I was standing and not leaving, the master followed, and also glanced at the bluestone stele, and couldn't help but be as surprised as me: "This place is the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, and most of them are ethnic minorities, how can there be such a Sinicized territory?" It's really strange that there is a boundary monument placed here, since we have all come here, let's go to this Jiayan Village to have a look. Master didn't say anything else, and as soon as he finished speaking, he crossed the small wooden bridge one step ahead of me.

I scratched my forehead and walked over. The terrain rises upwards, and the houses are more conspicuous from one floor to the next. After carefully looking at these houses, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Master, dare to love that there is such a rich village in this big mountain, you look at the small house and small building, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is carved beams and painted buildings, even more beautiful and magnificent than the small building we saw last time in Liantai Town!" ”

The blue bricks and yellow tiles are both characteristic and atmospheric, and the small door is really exquisite and beautiful, and the overall design is simply ingenious. If you live in this kind of paradise, plus such a small building, you are also willing.

When I entered the village and looked at those tall houses, I was happy, such a wealthy family must not have to worry about eating and drinking...... "Master, which one do you think we should choose?" ”

The master suddenly glared at me, and said angrily, "Which one do you choose, are you going to rob or what?" Come with the fate, and be safe with the encounter, just find a nearby knock on the door to see if it is convenient for us to stay overnight. Remember not to be less courteous, we people who do the Tao should pay attention to virtue in front of the world, so as to better promote the Taoist mysteries. ”

As soon as I heard the master say that it was endless, I would run, and every time I talked about the big truth, I was not annoyed.

When I came to the door of the nearest house, I was amazed, this vermilion gate is really magnificent. Grabbed the knocker on it, smashed it twice, and then asked, "Is there anyone at home?" We are from out of town and want to spend the night, but I don't know if it's convenient or not? ”

But after shouting for a while, I heard only silence inside, and no one answered. I was surprised to look through the crack in the door, but I was grabbed by the master behind me, and the master reprimanded him solemnly: "It is not a gentleman's work to look at people through the crack in the door!" If you want to shout, keep shouting, if you don't shout, we'll leave, and find a second home! ”

I pursed my lips, stood up straight, knocked again, and shouted the same words several times, and waited for a long time, but no one answered, and not only that, but the village was all the same, and the sound of the animals could not be heard, and no one seemed to have dogs. There was no sound at all, and I had a thought in a trance, could it be that this village is also a deserted village? No one lives there at all?!

Not only was I surprised, but even the master was puzzled, he glanced around and said, "You ghost screamed for a long time, why is there no movement in the village at all?" ”

"Yes! My throat was almost hoarse, and there was no movement at all, it's really strange, Master, look at this vermilion gate, the paint on it seems to have been painted on it not long ago, and it doesn't look like no one else! As I spoke, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the paint on the door, but I accidentally pushed the door open, and I was stunned: "Master, this door is not latched!" ”

"Huh?" When Master saw me push open the gate, he paused, stepped in, and as he walked into the courtyard, he clenched his fists and asked, "Dare to ask if anyone is at home?" We are ......"

Before the master could finish speaking, I saw a little old man staggering out of the hall, he was about seventy years old, with a rickety figure and a cane. I looked at us in surprise, first stunned, then smiled slightly, and under my stunned eyes, the old man silently raised his hand, pointed at us, and pointed outside to draw a circle, and then turned back and pointed to his house.

The master suddenly understood, and clenched his fists and said, "Hehe! It turns out that the old man has a dumb disease, and we are ......"

But before the master could finish his words, he was interrupted by the little old man waving his hand again, only to see him frowning and pointing sideways to his ears, and then shaking his hand, indicating that his ears could not hear us. It's funny, I can't speak, I can't hear the sound, the deaf and dumb ah, this is, no wonder no one answered when I shouted just now.

But soon, the little old man smiled and made an inviting gesture to us, motioning for us to come into the house and rest.

Unable to communicate, he couldn't explain our intentions, and he didn't know what the little old man's name was, so he entered the hall in a daze. Not to mention, this hall is also tall and spacious, and the inside is even more antique, and the furniture is exquisite and simple. I stumbled around in a daze, and finally sat down with Master on the side. Soon, an old woman who was in her late teens also walked out on crutches, and before the master could get up and salute and inquire, she found that the old woman was also deaf and mute.

The old woman and the little old man seemed to be the same old couple, and they each gestured enthusiastically to us, but unfortunately Master and I both looked at them in a daze, not understanding what they meant at all.

Seeing that we didn't seem to understand, the old woman smiled and waved her hand to the little old man, and then poured two cups of tea for us.

After the old couple saw the master's gesture, they both smiled and nodded, and the old woman motioned to the little old man to entertain us, and she went to the kitchen to cook for us, as if she was a warm and kind person.

After the old woman left, the master thought of a way, took out a pen and paper from the yellow cloth bag, and wrote on it: "Dare to ask the old man's surname? Why is this village silent? Are they all ...... like you?"

When the old man saw the words on it, his smile narrowed slightly, sighed lightly, picked up the pen and wrote: "The little old man's name is Jia Yanren, this village is called Jia Yan Village, a few decades ago, there was a strange disease in the village, all of them became deaf and mute, and many couples could not have children, and the same is true for our old couple, who can only die alone." Dare to ask the two gentlemen, where do they come from? Where are you going? ”

Master nodded heavily, and I also nodded knowingly, it turns out that this Jiayan Village has such a story, no wonder...... Master immediately wrote: "My name is Yang Yuanshan, and my apprentice Ergou is a descendant of the Maoshan faction. ”

The old man read the words, nodded with a smile, and didn't write anymore, of course, we already understood what he meant, and it was naturally convenient.

With this alternative exchange, we also have a rough introduction, which can also make the old couple feel at ease, we two outsiders, recklessly come in, people don't know who we are, and on the premise of not understanding the situation, they will definitely not leave us to stay overnight. But now, in a short time, the old woman came out with a hot meal, put it on the table, and then the old couple invited us to sit down for dinner with a smile.

I hurriedly got up with a smile and walked to the dining table, and shouted to Master, "Master, let's eat, look at these fragrant meals, they are all hungry!" ”

The master took a sip of tea and said, "I'm used to being hungry these days, and it's not a way to be so hungry and full all the time, so I won't eat today's dinner for the teacher, you can eat it yourself." With that, Master got up and walked over to the old man, smiled and gestured, and then the old man took Master to find an empty room to live in, while I devoured a full meal.

After eating, I went back to my room, but when I saw Master meditating cross-legged, I sighed and said while picking my teeth, "Master, you don't know, the food is so fragrant and delicious, but it's a pity that you don't eat it, alas! ”

Master looked up at me and said, "Let's go to bed early, we have to go to work tomorrow morning!" ”

I stuck out my tongue, turned around and lay down on the bed, patted my full belly, and thought to myself how nice it would be if I could live here forever, the food was delicious, and the bed was comfortable. Thinking about it, I unconsciously fell asleep...... In the haze, I opened my eyes and was horrified to see the buds of small saplings growing on my stomach, tearing my stomach in severe pain, I couldn't help but scream, sat up with my stomach covered, and opened my eyes to see that I was dreaming just now!

"Oops...... but the stomach ache is real, maybe the food is too delicious, I ate all of a sudden, and now I don't know what the pain is, in short, it makes me hurt all over my body and I have no strength, I staggered out of bed, put on my shoes and ran outside. At this moment, it is the second half of the night outside, there is only a cold moon hanging high in the sky, open the door of the hall, I covered my stomach and looked left and right, this, where is this latrine?

Just when I was in a dilemma, I only heard a slow footsteps, coming out of the inner room little by little, I turned my head to see that it was the little old man Jia Yanren walking out on crutches, and when he saw me holding his stomach, he immediately smiled.

I hurriedly pointed to my stomach to the little old man, and then I touched it around, and the little old man immediately understood, and walked in front of me, motioning for me to follow. I hurried after the little old man, but he walked too slowly, and slowly walked through the yard, and stopped in front of a corner, pointed to the little house, and motioned for me to come over. As soon as I saw the latrine, I didn't care about 3728, opened the door and rushed in, but it was pitch black, I had to find not to fall into the pit, just when I was touching around, I saw the little old man walking slowly to the door of the latrine, I looked up, my heart was shocked, I saw that the little old man's smile had long been gone, his eyes were staring at me, I was scared, I was stunned, I just wanted to ask him what was wrong, but I saw the little old man grab the door and close it hard!
