Chapter 41: Qian Erzhu

Yesterday, after Yang Lao and Qiu Yu went ashore, they waited for a long time and did not see the ship coming, and they saw that the sea was dark and oppressive, and the wind was very strong. thought that Chu Tianlu might not be able to come, so he didn't wait for them any longer. A group of people tossed and turned in the woods last night and didn't come out, no, they were stumbling around, and they finally found the right place.

The old man who was driving the car saw the foreigner behind Yang Lao and Qiu Yu, and his face was a little uncomfortable. Originally, he was still talking and laughing with Chu Tianlu and others, but there was already a look of vigilance on his face at this meeting. It feels like those foreigners are coming to their village to sweep up. Come to think of it, these mountain people are heartfelt rejection of foreigners.

Chu Tianlu explained for a while, and the old man eased up a little.

Chu Tianlu couldn't help but blame Qiu Yu in his heart for not listening to his advice.

A group of people, led by the old man, came to the gate of a simple courtyard and stopped.

This courtyard is not large, and in the middle of the courtyard is a stone house, which looks particularly simple, and the stone cracks in the stone walls have not been treated. Some places are even transparent, and the family background is not very good.

The old man got down from the donkey cart and stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted, "Lotus seed, are you at home?" Someone is looking for your home. ”

"Is it Uncle Zhao? Who is looking for the one who suffered a thousand cuts? Before the door of the stone house could be opened, there was an answer. Then a woman in her forties and fifties came out of the door, saw a crowd of people at the gate of the courtyard, hesitated for a moment and walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"Lianzi, these people I met on the road, looking for your second pillar, I brought them over. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. After the old man finished speaking, he led the donkey cart to leave.

Chu Tianlu hurriedly asked the loach to give the old man twenty yuan to make a car, but the old man didn't want it at first, but when he saw that the loach insisted, he accepted it.

"What is your relationship with the one who has been stabbed by a thousand cuts? If you leave, you won't go home for half a year!! I still want to find him, day by day I know to get some broken crockpots at home, never do serious things, the land in this house is counting on me an old lady, do you say he is still a human? "At the beginning of the call lotus seed, they were wary of them, but the more they talked, the more excited they became, and finally their eyes were red and they cried. I think that there is no place to vent my long-suppressed feelings.

A group of old men were stunned on the spot, not knowing how to deal with it, Qiu Yu would come up, take the lotus seed's hand and comfort softly: "Auntie, the uncle may have something to delay, don't be sad." Obviously, Qiu Yu is not good at comforting people, and keeps patting the lotus seed on the back after speaking.

Under the comfort of the autumn rain, Lianzi gradually calmed down the resentment in her heart, and said embarrassedly: "Look at me, when I get older, there are more things." The love that suffered a thousand knives can't be returned, and he can't be controlled. ”

"Why don't you come back!! This is his home!! Will come back......" Qiu Yu repeatedly emphasized that Qian Erzhu would come back. She knew that when Lianzi said this, she actually wanted him to come back.

"Let's go, let's go inside. There's nothing to entertain at home, so drink some water. Lianzi leaned sideways and invited everyone in.

After Qiu Yu politely declined Lianzi's invitation, she asked tentatively: "Auntie, I heard you just say that he always took some things to the house before, are these things still at home?" ”

"Yes, but there are some broken ones left, and the rest have been taken by him for the past two years. Speaking of these things, I'm angry, I have the heart to throw these things, and I'm afraid that he will come back and mess with me.

was originally a good person, but after a group of people came two years ago, he ran to Nanshan all day long, and he didn't feel at ease to farm, saying that this thing was valuable, and he sold it and took me to the city to enjoy it. At first, I really believed it, and he took some money from home from time to time. Whoever thinks of people will not be at home. You said that we were born and raised in the mountains, what kind of city do we go to enjoy happiness!! ”

Chu Tianlu listened to the lotus seed and figured out that the crockpots that Qian Erzhu brought back should have been taken out of the tomb.

I pondered for a while and felt that it was wrong, if Qian Erzhu also followed up when he took the second uncle's group, then he could come out, why did the second uncle's group disappear?

Chu Tianlu interjected at the right time: "Auntie, can you show us those?" ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll go get it." Lianzi turned around and went back to the house, and after a while, he took out a flower cloth wrapper, opened it and saw that it was indeed some broken jars. Some of them were completely shattered. One of them is relatively complete, and half of it is missing.

Yang Lao squatted down, carefully picked up the half-sided crockpot and observed it carefully.

Chu Tianlu has theoretical knowledge in this regard, if he really wants to show it, of course he can't compare to the famous Yang Bingyan in front of him.

Yang Lao looked at it for a while, nodded incessantly, and did not speak. After putting the broken crockpot back, he gave Qiu Yu and Chu Tianlu a look, meaning that he already knew.

"Auntie, where is the Nanshan you are talking about? Can you find someone to take us there? Chu Tianlu asked again, and motioned for Loach to give her some money. Chu Tianlu thinks that the reason why Qian Erzhu didn't go home is indirectly related to his second uncle. This made it impossible for this woman named Lianzi to live a stable mountain life like a normal mountain person. Give her some money to make up for it.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Lianzi said no, but looking at the banknote in the loach's hand, there was still a greedy look in his eyes. Symbolically excused himself, stretched out his hand to take it, and then said: "I told you, you can't go to Nanshan, it's haunted." When the harvest was bad a few years ago, some people wanted to go to Nanshan to dig up some medicinal materials to sell, but they all went more and less, and they couldn't go!! ”

"Oh?" Chu Tianlu just wanted to ask what was going on, when he heard the sound of something breaking from the room.

After hearing this, Lianzi said apologetically: "This trip with a thousand knives, I will leave a child who was born with a disability to me, how do you say I will live in the future!" Then he ran into the house.

"This money Erzhu is really not a thing, it should be that I have sold those spiritual weapons and have money, and I don't want the yellow-faced woman in this house. Don't let me see it, or make him look good. When the woman entered the house, the loach pouted, shook his fat body, and said angrily. Looking at it like that, he should be quite sympathetic to what happened to Lianzi's mother and son.

Chu Tianlu and the others couldn't ask anything, so everyone summed it up and wanted to find a place to stay overnight, and go to Nanshan early tomorrow morning to have a look.

As they walked back, they ran into Old Man Zhao again, and when they heard that they were going to stay in the village for one night, they warmly led them back to his house.

Old man Zhao's wife died early, and the children also went out to work. The house is quite big, and there are a lot of empty rooms left, which are much stronger than Qian Erzhu's house, and it is more than enough to live in Chu Tianlu and others. Although it is not a tall wall, it is considered to be the best in the whole village. It may have something to do with him doing business. In those days, as long as you did business, it could be said that a piece of land was gold. It's just that they make relatively less money by reselling local products.
