Two large round tables were erected in the courtyard of the old Enkun's house.

The enthusiasm of the people of Yuziba was all melted into this meal. The women were running in and out of the house, killing chickens and fish, cooking on the fire, and being very busy. Most of the men crowded around the round table in the courtyard, talking and laughing, toasting Shi Dazhuang round by round.

Halfway through the meal, a pig-like howl suddenly came from a mud-tiled house on the left side of the courtyard, which disrupted everyone's drinking. People held wine bowls in the air, stopped their chopsticks, and looked at Old Enkun, who was sitting on the main seat.

Shi Dazhuang frowned and said, "Enkun Gong ......"

Old Enkun knocked on his cigarette stick and interrupted him: "Don't be nosy, do the work!" ”

The sound of killing pigs continued, and Old Enkun was smoking a cigarette, but no one was allowed to go over to see it.

A few women who brought tea and vegetables came over and asked if they wanted to bring some food to the house, and old Enkun knocked the cigarette stick loudly and scolded: "What do you eat, what do you eat, starve to death!" ”

Everyone stopped mentioning it, and the two brothers made a fuss.

Most of the people in Yuziba are dark, a bit like the people from Myanmar and Vietnam. But Aoki noticed that there was a woman who served them food who was very white and knew at a glance that she was not a local.

Shi Dazhuang obviously also noticed it and asked Enkun: "Whose daughter-in-law is this?" I've never seen it before! ”

Enkun pointed to a black-faced man in his thirties at the next table and said, "Letolie's family has been married for two years. ”

The man named Le Tolie came over to toast with a smile and said, "Brother Shi should take care of it." ”

Shi Dazhuang drank dry, pointed at his daughter-in-law and said, "Letolie, you are so blessed!" ”

Everyone also joked that he had been on the kang all day since he got married, and he refused to get up, and even lost a few laps.

Letorie puffed out his chest and smiled, and that smile was full of the pride of the toad eating the swan meat.

Only Aoki noticed that the expression on the white woman's face was a little strange, and although she was also smiling, there was an indescribable indescribable indifference in her smile.

Aoki had seen this kind of smile, and in the nameless alley on the edge of Liuying Lane, some women would have such smiles on their faces.

Everyone says that Fengyue is good, but they don't know that once they enter the Fengyue field, they will not be able to return for the rest of their lives.

This is not a laugh of wind and dust, but a laugh of despair, the helplessness of living in a cage for a long time, clearly seeing the world outside the cage, but unable to open the shackles. Helplessness is followed by despair, and a loss of interest in everything.

The woman still ran in and out diligently, always bringing the food to Shi Dazhuang and Aoki first.

This is a form of hospitality, but Aoki always feels that the moment the woman puts the food on the table, there is a fire burning in the eyes of the woman who looks at them.

It's like in the darkness of despair, a little spark suddenly ignites.

It's like being in a bowl of bland, and suddenly throwing in a little salt.

It's passion, it's taste, it's hope......

Aoki didn't know what this white-looking woman was hoping for, but he was sure that she would never have a crush on himself or Shi Dazhuang.

"Serve me a bowl of rice." Aoki said.

The woman let out a "hey", shuttled back and forth like a butterfly, and after a while brought a bowl of hot rice.

"It's a fragrant rice specialty of southern Yunnan, canned bamboo is burned out, Nong just looks, okay?"

The woman's sudden appearance was a bit like the dialect of the Shenzhou area, which surprised Aoki. The woman's husband, Letore, glanced at them a few times, his eyes full of wariness.

Aoki took the bowl and ate two bites, and sure enough, it had a special sweet taste.

He was just about to say that the rice was delicious, when he saw a small piece of paper peeking out of the rice.

The woman had gone to the next table, but her eyes glanced at him from time to time.

Aoki put the bowl to his mouth, put the note in his mouth with chopsticks, held it under his tongue, and left his seat under the pretext of going to the toilet.

The toilet is outside the back door and is a separate small thatched house.

Aoki took advantage of the fact that no one spit out the note from his mouth, opened it and saw that it read:

"What kind of bikes

Fellow

Sycamore 9"

The handwriting on the note was crooked, apparently written in a hurry.

After a little pondering, Aoki understood the meaning - this is a letter for help!

"What kind of bicycle do you want" is a very famous line in the famous sketch "Selling Abduction", so the focus of this sentence is "abduction";

"Fellow" is a woman who mistakenly thinks Aoki is her fellow countryman. Presumably, Aoki and Shi Dazhuang spoke with a little Sanwu accent, which was close to Shenzhou, so women would only talk to him in dialect when they brought him rice;

Sycamore 9 doesn't know what it is, probably a place name or some special sign, maybe only her real fellow can understand.

So on the whole, the woman probably wanted to tell him that she was abducted and trafficked here, and that her hometown was in or near Shenzhou.

This is a smart woman!

Such a note, even if it is discovered, does not mean anything. It can be said that she accidentally fell into it while cooking.

However, the success rate of this call for help is also much lower, and it seems that the people here look at her very closely.

Do you want to save her?

Aoki decided to throw the question to Shi Dazhuang.

It can be seen that Shi Dazhuang has a good relationship with the people in the dam, but in any case, he is a policeman!

Aoki put the note in his pocket, but didn't immediately return to the front seat.

He's a guy who doesn't like to socialize.

Although it seems that he drinks very happily and does not refuse to come, it is because he feels that it is also a very troublesome thing to refuse others.

So, if you can drink it anyway, just drink it!

But drinking too much alcohol is not a very comfortable thing after all, especially when the stomach will be swollen.

Aoki opened his own waterway in the Nkun family's thatched house, and then began wandering aimlessly around the dam.

Most of the houses in Yuziba are old wooden houses, and the few two-story brick and wood houses are probably rich in the dam. Because the dam is located in a mountain col and built along the hillside, the houses of each family are arranged in a disorderly manner, high and low, front and back, unlike the rural houses in the plains.

As Aoki walked, he passed by the edge of a wooden house when he suddenly heard a hoarse roar, accompanied by a snapping sound.

He stopped, looked through the cracks in the planks of the wall, and saw a woman in the dark room who was unkempt and unkempt and had nothing on her body was banging desperately on the wall with her hands.

The woman seemed to notice someone snooping, turned her head sensitively, pounced like a leopard on the wall where Aoki was, slapped the plank hard, and let out a hoarse roar from her mouth: "qiuminga&%&**&^%......"

Aoki saw that her eyes were bloodshot, and the palms of her hands were slapping into a bloody blur.

There were many footsteps behind him, and someone was shouting something in dialect.

The woman in the dark room seemed frightened when she heard the voice, and shrunk down to hide in the corner and shivered.
