But as I walked, I didn't feel quite right.

It seems to be too quiet......

When I first had this thought, I didn't think much of it, I just thought that it was the first day that I returned to the countryside from the hustle and bustle of the provincial town, and I suddenly didn't get used to the hallucinations that arose, and after flicking off the cigarette butts, I continued to walk.

It wasn't until I crossed a stream next to the village and a field that I came to a place called "Lijiaao", and I inadvertently looked back at Lijiazhai at night, and that feeling jumped out again.

It's a bit too quiet.

Lijiaao is the boundary between Lijiazhai and Yangjiaba, and after passing this bend along the highway, passing through a terraced field and a small river, it will completely enter the land of Yangjiaba.

Li Jiaao is also the grave mountain of our branch, the first ancestor Li Shunshou to settle here, buried on the top of the slope in front of the small pine forest in front of the highest position, on the highway fort, once was a maple tree planted by his own hands, but more than ten years ago, when a deaf man in Panjiayuan herded cattle, in the trunk near the ground, dug a hole to make a fire to roast, burned off one-third of the trunk, when the road was expanded, and the outer roots were dug out, a few years ago it had died and fell, my grandmother was buried in the roots of the tree to about 30 meters.

At this location on the highway, you can just take a look at Lijiazhai.

Lijiazhai is indeed quite small, my grandfather's four brothers in this room, most of them have settled in the city in recent years, but except for my family's old brick house and the tile house next to it are completely empty, other houses are still inhabited, and the other room with a larger population, except for the young ones, is still at home, not to mention several outdoor surnames, which will never be deserted to this extent.

Not to mention people, I didn't even hear a dog barking!

Unconsciously, the drizzle has become a lot bigger, the clothes and hair are a little wet, the whole world, only the sound of pine waves when the wind blows through the woods, the street lamps in the village, in the wind and rain emit a faint light, quiet and even a little weird.

After looking at it for a while, I took a step and walked back as fast as I could.

did not go home, but walked straight through the area between Lijiazhai and Panjiayuan, where there were relatively few houses, and came directly to the Panjiayuan.

Panjiayuan is a big village, not all of them are surnamed Pan, there are hundreds of households in Dazhai alone, Shanwan is also connected with Luojiaping Zhoujiawan, now the highway is above, and below Tianba, has been full of houses.

If Lijiazhai will be very deserted because of the small number of people, then Panjiayuan should not be like that.

However, the fact is that the desertion of Pan's courtyard is even more abnormal, and the houses built by the mountains are not even able to hear the slightest sound, and the solar street lamps are shining with miserable white light in the drizzle, and the lights emitted from the windows of each house seem to be as weak as the flames of broken candles.

In the huge village, there was no one walking, and there was no sound of cats, dogs and other animals!

I took out my mobile phone and looked at the time, at 8:03, the news broadcast had only ended for half an hour.

Even if there are very few young people in the countryside today, many of them are only old people and children, and the weather is cold, they will not go to bed so early, and there is not even a person who visits each other's doors.

Definitely quirky!

Without trying to knock on anyone's door and talk about why this happened, I put away my phone and went straight home, the alcohol had completely dissipated.

When I got home, my parents and grandfather were still watching TV by the stove, and the kettle on the stove was just boiling, and it was constantly steaming out.

Seeing that I finally came back, my grandfather and father didn't say anything, but my mother, who was obviously a little absent-minded, seemed to be relieved, and then smiled at me and said, "It's not honest when you first come home, and you still run around at night." ”

I didn't ask directly about the doubts in my heart, but said with a smile, I haven't been home for so long, of course, as soon as I come back, I can't wait to take a walk around, and I want to see the second grandmother again, full of grandmothers and grandmothers, or I'll go get things now, mom, you and I.

Hearing this, my mother's smile froze significantly, and even my father, who was watching the TV, turned his head to look at me.

"It's all this time, don't bother them, I'll go tomorrow." As if afraid that I would not, my mother laughed and pulled me to sit down next to her.

At this time, my dad also said: "It's a big night, don't go anywhere, just stay at home, talk about everything tomorrow, you have to be really bored, your mother bought a computer last month, it's next to the TV upstairs, and there is also a network cable, you can go to play online." ”

This is the meaning of resolutely not letting me go out again, knowing that there is absolutely a reason for this, I sat down honestly, and asked my mother with a smile: "Why do you buy a computer, do you also want to learn to surf the Internet and catch up with the trend?" ”

My mother smiled and said: "What is the trend of "tide horses", it's not that I'm afraid that you and Lin Lin will be bored when they come back, so I will buy it back and put it away, so that you won't be used to it and can't sit still and run around." ”

"Then you should buy two, wait for him to come back to play together, just one is not enough, you have to grab it." I continued to laugh.

Originally, it was just a joke, but my mother was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously: "It seems to be the case, I loved to grab things when I was a child, I was such an adult, and I should make a joke if I robbed it again, and I will buy one on the street tomorrow, you go with my mother, my mother doesn't understand this, they are all selling computers, I don't know what to say." ”

In order to "bolt" the two sons at home during the Chinese New Year, my mother also took great pains, and I immediately stopped thinking about anything else, went up to the living room on the second floor, behind the TV cabinet, and found the Lenovo notebook that had been removed from the packaging and the protective film had not been torn, and brought it to the stove, laughing and tinkering.

I'm sure it's a new machine, the quality is no problem, but the price is a little more expensive, after praising my mother, I went upstairs again, and took out the gifts for them from the suitcase that she had received in the room.

Seeing that I still brought gifts when I went home, my mother was suddenly a little unhappy, saying that it was difficult to make money, why waste these, until I said that these things were picked by Sister Yun and Zhang Xiaowei together, not by me, and I suddenly smiled.

I gave my grandfather an elderly down jacket, a pair of thickened trousers, and a pair of leather shoes with wool inside, and my dad was given a multi-functional massager, a thermos cup, and a razor. As for my mother, it was a new mobile phone, a big red scarf, and a set of woolen sweaters.

Because they came back in a hurry, they didn't have time to prepare, so the two had to ask some general information about what to buy.

Looking at these things, my parents couldn't say how happy they were, especially my grandfather, who smiled like an "old boy", tried on his clothes and shoes on the spot, and refused to change them again.

In the WeChat group of only three people, after conveying my gratitude to the two women and chatting for a while, I sent a message to Zhang Xiaowei privately, and I ignored me.

At this time, my grandfather also said that he was sleepy and asked me to sleep with him and warm his bed.

Although the day and night are often reversed, and the biological clock has always been a little chaotic, I had the idea of sleeping with my grandfather, so I soaked in hot water, washed up, and helped him up to the second floor.

As soon as I entered my grandfather's room, before I waited for him to lie down, he leaned into my ear and whispered in a mysterious and serious tone: "Xiao Nian, don't go out at night in the future, we have a curfew here, and they don't allow anyone to go out at night." ”
