The answer is no, I am from a rural area, and I know some of the customs of rural people, and if I want to say that rural people are backward, I admit it, but it is definitely not just backward like this.

At that moment, I looked at the villagers, and I saw that they looked at me a little evasively, and I made me even more curious, so I walked over to them, I was afraid that they would suddenly become furious, and my eyes did not leave their arms.

"What are you?" Coming up to them, I asked tentatively.

The leading man glanced up at me, his tone was much lower, and he said in a trembling voice, "I... We didn't mean to beat up the police, so please don't bother with us mud-legged people. ”

As he spoke, he knelt down at me and said, "Please, we didn't mean to do it on purpose, I... I... There are only these people left in our village, and if they kill us, our entire village will be ruined. ”

Listening to his words, I was slightly stunned, the whole village is just these people?

I looked at them, and suddenly found a hard question, if this person is telling the truth, then there are no women in the entire Tama Village at all, in other words, this group of people are all singles?

Isn't it, the whole village of men beating singles?

Thinking of this, I immediately asked the man, "Are you all single?" ”

He nodded and hummed softly, "Before our parents die, let us find a daughter-in-law and pass on the news for the entire Tama Village, and the conditions of our village, you have also seen, where are there girls who are willing to marry into our village." ”

As soon as I heard his words, I seemed to understand a little bit why they were suddenly afraid, presumably it was Xiao Wang's sentence that hit their weakness, after all, they are burdened with the heavy responsibility of passing on the queen, and the countryside looks at the queen very seriously, just like the old saying, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.

Perhaps, it is for this reason that they suddenly become timid, of course, this is not that they are really timid, but that they are worried about the future.

Thinking of this, I feel a little bitter in my heart, in recent years, there are many bachelors in our village, for no other reason, just because they are rural people, just because they are poor and have no money to buy a house outside, so, few girls are willing to marry in the countryside, sometimes think about it, what is wrong with the countryside? At least the air in the countryside is good, and the life expectancy can be longer.

"Get up!" I pulled the middle-aged man up, gave each of them a cigarette, and said, "I am also from the countryside, and I know the bitterness in your hearts, but have you ever thought that He Yaoguang is also from the countryside, why do you want to prevent him from being buried here?" ”

I chatted with the people from Tama Village here, and Lang Gao over there also came over and stood next to me, and Xiao Wang and the others, like Lang Gao, also came over and stood behind me.

At first, the middle-aged man didn't dare to answer my question, until Xiao Wang said, "What Brother Jiu asks you, you can answer truthfully, as long as you behave well, maybe Brother Jiu can find you a daughter-in-law!" ”

I glared at Xiao Wang viciously, and said angrily: "What nonsense, where can I find a daughter-in-law for them." ”

He smiled and didn't say anything more.

In case this group of villagers really asked me to find a daughter-in-law for them, where would I go to introduce their daughter-in-law, isn't it uncomfortable to find myself, and I don't know why, I suddenly remembered Widow Liu in our village, she doesn't seem to be married yet.

"Really?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up to me and said, "Little doll, as long as you can introduce a daughter-in-law to any of us, our entire Tama Village will be yours, and you can say whatever you want." ”

Made, I scolded secretly, and said, "This uncle, I... I'm not a matchmaker, so there's nothing I can do! ”

When they heard this, their faces were slightly disappointed, and they sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that our Tama Village is doomed. ”

As he spoke, he turned to look to the east, knelt on the ground with his legs, and mourned: "God, we have been diligent in cultivating the land and being diligent in Tama Village, why should we abandon the queen of our village, even if it is to leave us a descendant!" ”

As soon as he said this, the other villagers knelt down with him, shouting the same words as the man.

With the development of industrial science and technology, some villagers in the countryside squeezed their heads to drill into the city, resulting in a rapid decline in the rural population, and even some villages have been empty, and some people who stay in the village are either old, weak, sick and disabled, or some bachelors, and these bachelors, once they continue to stay in the countryside, the result is only the same, lifelong single, want to marry a family business, it is not easy, it can even be said, it is difficult to enter the sky.

"Second brother!" I shouted to Lang Gao, stretched out my finger and pointed to the group of villagers kneeling on the ground, and said, "Is there a way to solve it?" ”

He smiled bitterly, "Brother Jiu, I'm just like you, where do I know any girl, besides, marriage is not something like us, but we also want other girls to be willing to marry here!" ”

I nodded, didn't say anything more, and watched them bow down to God.

After kneeling for about three or four minutes, they stood up, and the middle-aged man who led the way came up to me and said, "Little doll, you've been here for so long, you're thirsty, go to our house and sit down, and tell you about He Yaoguang." ”

As soon as I heard this, I nodded my head in a sloppy manner, and with an indescribable feeling in my heart, I motioned for them to take them away, and I followed them.

Since I was holding He Yaoguang's columbarium, if I brought the ashes to his house, it would be a little unlucky, so I handed the urn to Xiao Wang, and asked him to stand outside with the urn, the little Wang nodded, and stood at the door with the urn, Lang Gao and I followed the middle-aged man into his house, and some other villagers went back to their respective homes.

As soon as I entered his house, a strong foul smell came to my face, I frowned, looked at the house, and found that the house was not big, about thirty square meters, the kitchen and bedroom were in this room, the east position was a wooden bed, on which there was only a simple mattress and a wooden pillow, and next to the bed was an old-fashioned basin stand, and on top was a basin with a lot of porcelain. The location of the kitchen is only three meters from the bed, and a simple stove is all the kitchen.

"Sit!" The middle-aged man found a few small stools and put them in front of us, poured a glass of water into each of us from a bowl of rice, and poured a lot of honey into it.

I took the rice bowl, thanked him, drank it all, and asked him straight to the point, "Uncle, why did you say that you didn't know He Yaoguang before?" ”
