CHAPTER XIV
"Looks like someone in the village is interested in you!" Qiangzi still held the kitchen knife in his right hand, and looked at the dark path with a heavy heart.
I don't know why he's so excited, even if someone is curious about us, they don't have to be serious enough to take a knife, right? Looking at Hadron's nervous expression, I felt that there was something else he hadn't told me, and it was very likely that the village was not as harmonious as I had seen.
We went back to the house and simply cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. I thought that after a thrilling day, I could have a full meal and sleep in Meimei. Who would have thought that the last one would come out like this! For the first time in my life, I didn't expect it to be so breathing! Dad, Dad, why did you give me such a name? Wu Ping, Wu Ping, am I destined to be at peace?
"Hey! Hadron, I don't know if there is a sentence I should ask. When Qiangzi heard my words, he put down the dishes and chopsticks that were being rinsed, looked at me and said, "What's wrong, old wilt?" Say whatever you want. "Is there something wrong in the village?" Why were you so nervous just now? When Qiangzi heard my words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked innocent, as if he didn't understand what I was saying! said: "How can there be? Are you nervous? And then he just looked at me and giggled!
Of course, I won't be fooled by him pretending to be stupid, looking at him with a serious face and without hesitation, I feel that the strong son is different from when I was in school! Although we didn't have much contact before, after all, we have lived under the same roof for a while, and the most basic understanding is still there, and now the strong son seems to have experienced a lot of things, and I feel that he seems to be hiding a lot of things!
"Don't be stupid, what else hasn't you told me? Now our classmates have been poisoned in your village, although it is not your fault, but if there is any danger in this village, you don't tell us, if something goes wrong again, what should we do? What else is there that makes you nervous to go out with a knife and cut people when you see a figure? This is important, you have to tell me! And what do you mean when you say that someone is interested in us? ”
Qiangzi listened to my words and fell silent, bowing his head and not speaking, nor looking at me. I just stared at him, waiting for him to tell me something, at least so that I could know that we were safe, and not that someone would come and watch us while the whole team was poisoned! It made me feel uneasy and insecure!
"Alright! All I can tell you is that this is an internal matter of our village! It has nothing to do with you, but as you said, there are some problems, just like the old saying goes, people can share weal and woe, but not wealth and prosperity! Since the conditions in the village have been improved, the villagers are not as simple as before, and they are not as harmonious as you see! But you can rest assured that there will be no danger to you! After all, you are just tourists, and for the villagers, you are just some students, and they will not do anything to you. All right...... It's not too early, so let's rest early! After saying that, Hadron didn't look at me, and walked out of the kitchen.
I hurriedly chased after him, wanting to ask something more, I wanted to ask him why someone would come to eavesdrop, but I still didn't understand what it meant to be not rich! Doesn't it mean that their village can live a prosperous life, all thanks to his father? But before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by a hadron. "Okay, don't ask, I've said everything I can say, and today's events, you'd better not tell anyone, otherwise it will bring unnecessary panic! If you come to play, it's good to have fun, and it's better not to worry about superfluous things, first, it has nothing to do with you, and secondly, you can't help much. After saying that, Qiangzi went upstairs without looking back.
I went back to my room, sat on the bed, and thought about what Hadron had just said, and my mind was very uncomfortable! What happened to this seemingly peaceful, unpretentious mountain village? And the story that Hadron just told me, does it have anything to do with these things? I looked at Akai who was lying on the side, his face was much better at this time, and his breathing was even, but he still hadn't woken up! If he's awake, maybe I can talk to Akai about these issues, and if it were him, I'd have some insights. But looking at the current situation, I can only wait for tomorrow, and I don't know what the current situation is with the secretary next door and Liu Bin, Zhao Xiaodong lives in the same room with Qiangzi, he should have no problem. I thought about it, and I fell asleep on the bed in a daze, without taking off my clothes and shoes.
In the morning, I: "Ah! I sat up and had another nightmare, this time the same dream I had the night before! The bloodthirsty Liu Tong, the dismembered Zhao Xiaodong, the bloody and strange scene still lingers in my mind, I was sweating profusely, panting, thinking about the horrific scene. "Wu Ping, are you okay?" When I heard the sound, it turned out to be Akai, who had woken up for some time, and was standing by the window, looking at me with a worried expression. So I replied, "I'm fine, just having a nightmare." When did you get up? Are you feeling okay? Akai looked at his hands, shook his head, and asked me, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Akai was indeed awake, but he still seemed to be weak all over, standing there, staggering! I got out of bed and helped Akai to the bed and let him lie down. Then he said: "You have all been poisoned by miasma, this is Wang Qiang's family, you have not fully recovered, and you need to recuperate." Akai said to me with a puzzled expression: "Wang Qiang's family? What's going on? ”。
I looked at Akai and it seemed like he didn't remember anything about last night! So I told Akai the whole thing last night, 1510, completely, including the story that Qiangzi told me, of course, someone came to monitor us, I didn't say, just like Qiangzi said, I don't want Akai, who has just woken up, to be affected by this incident, and what he needs most now is to rest at ease.
Before nine o'clock in the morning, Qiangzi pushed open the door of our room, holding a bowl of porridge, and when he saw Akai wake up, he said hello, put the porridge on the table, and said: "Akai, you can't eat too greasy food yet, let's eat some porridge first." Akai glanced up at Wang Qiang and said, "Oh, thank you", and then Akai looked out the window again, not saying anything.
I picked up the porridge on the table and was about to feed it to Akai, who shook his head and took the bowl himself, motioning for me that he could eat it himself. "Zhao Xiaodong, secretary, and Liu Bin are also awake. Would you like to check it out? Wang Qiang said to me. I replied, "How are they?" As I spoke, I took a sip of the glass of white water on the table. Wang Qiang continued: "It's just that I'm awake, and I can't get out of bed and move, but my spirit is okay, and I'll be fine after a good rest." Hearing Wang Qiang say this, I was much more relieved, so I replied: "Well, that's good, let's go and have a look." With that, Qiangzi and I went out of the house and went to the other people's rooms.
The secretary and Liu Bin were lying on the bed, covered with a big quilt, I and Qiangzi entered the house, they just opened their eyes, and then fell asleep again, I saw that they slept so soundly, I didn't bother too much, and came to Zhao Xiaodong's room again, at this time Zhao Xiaodong was leaning on the head of the bed, playing mobile games, while playing, while shouting: "Fuck, this special mage will play?" Holy shit, why are you still fucking out of the net? Seeing us enter the house, Zhao Xiaodong pointed to the mobile phone screen and shouted at Wang Qiang with a dissatisfied face: "Wang Qiang, what kind of broken ground is your house?" If you don't have WiFi, why don't you even have 4G? ”
"Okay, okay, I want 4G, do you want gigabit fiber? Didn't you say to come and enjoy the mountains and rivers? What other mobile phones do you play? After saying that, the strong son opened the curtains and opened the window for ventilation. The air in the mountains is much fresher than in the city, I saw a blue sky through the window, cloudless, with rolling green, which makes me feel particularly comfortable, if I didn't know that there is a toxic fog in this forest, maybe I would not hesitate to rush into the forest, climb to the top of the mountain, see this beautiful scenery, and get in touch with nature at zero distance!
But now this beautiful mountain makes me feel unusually weird and unknown, and I want to stay away and avoid it!
I saw that Zhao Xiaodong was in good spirits, and I was relieved a lot, so I had to chat with him a few words, and he didn't want to deal with me very much, he kept playing with his mobile phone, and I was also interested, so I didn't say anything more and came out with Qiangzi.
Qiangzi wanted to ask me to eat first, but where am I in the mood to eat now, and there is a female dependents who don't know what the situation is, so I almost dragged Qiangzi to Aunt Ying's house.
The courtyard door of Aunt Ying's house was open, and white smoke was still billowing from the yard, as if a fire was being lit for cooking. "Hey, Aunt Ying, we're here, what are you doing here? Bring me a bowl. Wang Qiang shouted as he walked into Aunt Ying's yard.
When Aunt Ying saw us coming, she greeted us with a smile on her face, and said very enthusiastically: "You bad boy, you know how to eat, this is for you." After speaking, he handed Hadron a piece of roasted sweet potato. Qiangzi hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Aunt Ying, the sweet potatoes roasted by Aunt Ying are the best!" After saying that, the hadron didn't even peel off the skin, it was just a big mouthful. Aunt Ying looked at Qiangzi with a smile and said to Qiangzi: "Stinky boy, you know what to say." Don't worry if you eat slowly, there will be no one to grab it from you after eating! After speaking, he handed me a roasted sweet potato and said, "Young man, you didn't eat it, did you?" Come and eat this, it's still hot there. I waved my hand again and again and thanked me, "Thank you, Aunt Ying, I'm not hungry, I just want to see how my companions are doing." After speaking, I looked at the side room of Aunt Ying's house.
Aunt Ying put the roasted sweet potato back on the stove and said to me, "It's okay young man, don't worry, the girls have already woken up once in the morning, eaten something, and are sleeping again." When they're all right, I'll call you, don't worry. I immediately asked eagerly, "What about Liu Tong?" How is Liu Tong? "Hearing Aunt Ying say that they were all fine, my hanging heart finally fell to the ground. But I still want to know more about Liu Tong.
Aunt Ying still smiled kindly, and said to me, "Which is Liu Tong, young man?" "I was stunned at first, and then I was a little embarrassed, yes! How could Aunt Ying know which girl was Liu Tong! I thought about it for a while, and replied to Aunt Ying, "Well, that's it, it's a girl in a pink tracksuit." "I really don't know how to describe it, but fortunately, the girls are the only ones who wear pink tracksuits.
Aunt Ying obviously knew which one I was talking about, showed a trace of sadness, and said to me, "Ah, that girl you said? Strange to say, all the girls woke up, but she was the only one who didn't wake up and was still unconscious. You'd better not bother them now, let them have a good rest, and I'll be sure to let you know as soon as there's news. ”
When I heard Aunt Ying's words, my heart that I had just put down hung again. I wanted to go into the house to see, but when I thought of Aunt Ying's words, I finally gave up! Aunt Ying is right, it's better to let them have a good rest.
We said goodbye to Aunt Ying, and when we were about to go out, I turned around again, and said to Aunt Ying uneasily, "I'm coming over later, I'm bothering you." Then he walked out of the door.
Alas! In a hurry all morning, the person who wanted to see the most still didn't see it! I lowered my head and thought about Liu Tong as I walked. Qiangzi saw that I was depressed, so he patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "Lao Fu, don't worry too much, people have different physiques, and the recovery is different, with Aunt Ying taking care of them, there is no problem, it won't be long before they will be fine, rest assured." I looked at Hadron and didn't answer, in fact, I understood what he said, but I just couldn't control myself from worrying.
Wangjia Village in the day is much more lively than at night, there are many people on the road between the villages, men and women, are doing their own business, some are drying medicinal materials, some are loading medicinal materials, some eldest sisters and aunts, sitting on the stones at the door to choose vegetables, and there are many children running and playing. Qiangzi kept greeting the villagers all the way, and I was laughing next to him, but I found more and more that there are some people who are very enthusiastic on the surface, but their eyes and demeanor are not quite right, and even some people will be very sneaky to talk to each other, seeing me and Qiangzi approaching, but they don't say anything!
I can't help but think of the scene last night, I feel that the people in this village seem to have their own secrets, and the harmony and harmony between each other are all faked, and the smile on the face is also a disguise! I looked at Hadron and he didn't seem to think so, but I could tell that he was deliberately showing disapproval! Because when I looked at him, although he looked relaxed, his eyes were floating, and he didn't dare to look at me, as if he was afraid that I would see his weakness!
I wanted to ask Qiangzi about the village, but seeing him like this, I gave up. I thought to myself, and asked him, he guess it was still yesterday's words, and I thought I should go back and tell Akai what I found, and see what he would say.
There was nothing to say all the way, when I returned to Wang Qiang's house again, Wang Qiang's father was loading goods on the Jinbei car at the door, and after seeing me, he took the initiative to call me: "Hey! You're Wu Ping, right? "I was stunned at first, but Daddy Wang Qiang still looked serious. I looked at him, and I didn't expect him to take the initiative to stop me. So I immediately replied respectfully: "Hello uncle, I'm Wu Ping." Wang Qiang's father looked at it and said to me: "That's right, your classmate asked me to tell you that he left a little in advance, as if he said that he took something from you, and he will return it to you in the future, so that you can go back as soon as possible." After that, Qiangzi's father went to work on his own business again and stopped looking at me.
"Gone? Who's gone? Uncle who is gone? I asked twice in a row, and Wang Qiang's father replied slowly: "Your classmate, he is very strong, he has a big bag on his back, and he left as soon as you went out." ”
I listened to Wang Qiang's father's description, and I panicked! "Holy shit, is that Kai?" I scolded, ran up to the second floor quickly, pushed open the door of the room and looked, sure enough, the only thing left in the room was my backpack, and the big backpack that was originally put with my backpack, including Ah Kai, was gone!
