Since there was only one bed in each bedroom, Fat Dahai and I lived in two separate rooms. I live in the east-facing room, and the west-facing one is reserved for the fat man.

He Yi was lying on the wooden bed, very comfortable, and it was quiet outside. It gave me the illusion that this quiet environment shouldn't have been so dangerous. I wondered if I was thinking too much, and the third uncle asked me to come here to avoid the poisonous silkworms, which should have been a simple matter. It's just that the third uncle said that my natal light is likely to be guarding the mountain, and it involves my grandfather, which makes this matter a little complicated. I don't know if it's safe to take the time to ask the patriarch Xu Changhe?

I lay in bed thinking nonsense, maybe I was tired, maybe the current environment was more comfortable for me, and I fell asleep before I knew it.

I didn't know how long I had been asleep, and suddenly I heard someone calling my name again.

I sat up and forgot where I was. It took me a turn to remember my situation.

I pulled out my phone and looked at it, but there was no signal at all. It's strange that there is a signal where this bird doesn't poop. The time on the phone is displayed at 3:10 p.m.

I slept for three hours.

I looked over and found that Fat Dahai was still sleeping like a dead pig. He pushed him awake with all his might, and then walked out into the courtyard.

The voice calling my name came from the gate, and there was a knock at the door.

I opened the door and found that it was another old man.

When he saw me coming out, he hurriedly smiled at me and bowed slightly: "Young Master Yang, it's time for dinner, please come with me to eat." ”

I was stunned: "Uncle, why do you call me that?" ”

The old man nodded: "Lord Shoushan is our benefactor here, and his descendants can afford the word young master." If this had been in the past, I would have to bow down to you......"

As he spoke, the old man led the way with a hunched body. I beckoned the fat sea, who had not yet fully woken up, to follow the old man closely.

This village is really just like how I feel, full of twilight everywhere. Even the person who came to lead the way was an old man.

I asked the old man, "Uncle, are there all some old people in this mountain guard?" Where have all the young people gone? ”

The old man didn't reply, and said, "Young man, we have a lot of money here, and they ......."

When the old man said this, he seemed to realize something, and what he said came to an abrupt end, and he didn't say anything superfluous.

Listening to the old man, it's not that there are no young people in this village, but we don't see it.

As we spoke, the old man led us to a dwelling. Like most of the houses in the village, this one looks very unremarkable, even a little old.

The old man sent us here, pointed to the house inside, and said, "Young master, this is the patriarch's house. Go in. ”

With that, the old man hunched over and left.

We stood in the doorway and looked inside. At this moment, the door opened, and a large group of people came out of the room. It was the group of people we saw during the day, led by the old patriarch Xu Changhe.

When Xu Changhe saw us, he smiled and said, "Li Yang, are you hungry?"

Hurry up, go into the house, wash your hands and eat......"

The people behind him greeted us warmly, all with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this scene, it feels like a whole family has prepared a meal, waiting for someone who has returned from a long journey to eat. It's so warm that it makes you forget about the danger.

Fat Dahai and I were surrounded by the gang and entered the room. There was a large round table in the room, which was full of dishes, and the smell of food came to the nose.

Xu Changhe beckoned and asked us to sit down. And it must have put me in the Lord's seat. I was flattered by this, and I hurriedly pushed it away.

Who knew that Xu Changhe and the others didn't look at the old age and decrepitness, and they all had great strength, so they pressed me on the main seat, saying that I should be sitting in the position.

Fat Dahai was placed across from me, and a group of them sat in the other seats. It can be seen that they are very well-behaved, and the seats are also very orderly.

Seeing that we were seated, Xu Changhe pointed to the person in the seat, saying that he wanted to introduce me.

I glanced at it, and there were five people sitting here, besides me and Fat Dahai.

Among them are Xu Changhe, and that Xu Errat, and the remaining three I have seen, but I don't know the name.

The remaining three, two men and one woman, were all around sixty years old.

After Xu Changhe's introduction, I learned that the old man with a big man was called Xu Dongyang, and he was wearing a cyan gown, and the styles were all old-fashioned. I still have an impression of him, from the time I found them, he didn't say much from beginning to end, as if he belonged to the taciturn type, and when he saw me, he nodded.

Another short old man was dressed in a red robe. It's hard not to notice him. But he doesn't seem to be in a very good state of mind, his eyes are always half-open and half-closed, and he looks like he can't wake up. When he walked, he was even more weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, and the old man's name was even more strange, called Xu Laogou.

The remaining old lady, on crutches, was very rich-looking, with silver hair in a bun, and although her clothes were not outstanding, they were very neat, and she looked like a very well-groomed person. The old lady looked very kind and amiable. Xu Changhe introduced her as Xu Meilu.

The five people here are all surnamed Xu, and they should all belong to the same clan. At the beginning, I didn't feel any surprise when I heard the names of Xu Changhe and Xu Errat. Especially the name of Xu Errat, I think eighty percent is a nickname. Otherwise, who would want to have this mouse in their name?

But today, after listening to the names of these three people, I realized that their names have a common feature, that is, they all have an animal in their names.

Xu Changhe, Xu Errat, Xu Dongyang, Xu Laogou, Xu Meilu.

And they themselves don't seem to have any objections to their names, especially the names Xu Laogou and Xu Errat, which seem to us to be scolding, but they seem to have accepted it.

Seeing that I was a little surprised, Xu Changhe smiled: "Li Yang feels that our name is a little strange, right?" Alas...... We can't get out of this village anyway, and the name is just a code name. So when we usually have nothing to do and are bored, we change our names, at the beginning, we change it for ourselves, and then we change it for each other. What name to change, everyone has to accept. Later, in order to save trouble, the name of the animal was simply chosen. You must think that's ridiculous, right? ”
