Chapter 52: A Strange Village
Aren't all these people want is money!?
Liang Miaomiao took out her wallet and sprinkled a lot of money into the water, and the money was suddenly scattered by the seawater, which was quite spectacular.
Those ghost people should have seen the environment under the water, and they let go of their hands to grab the scattered banknotes in the water, Gao Yuanming rushed out of the water without restraint and climbed onto the boat.
Seeing that Liang Miaomiao was not on the boat, he hurriedly pulled the rope that tied Liang Miaomiao.
The buoyancy of the sea water is very large, and Liang Miaomiao was fished out after a while. The people below took the money and no longer embarrassed them, and the boat finally continued to move forward unimpeded.
After a curvy drive along the waterway, I finally saw the light coming out of the hole.
Outside the entrance to the cave was a shoal, littered with windswept fishing nets and a few boats that had been towed ashore.
"If you go further, you can see the village," the worker said. Sea devils seem to hate outsiders very much, and they are particularly fierce today. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." As soon as Gao Yuanming and Liang Miaomiao got off the boat, the workers turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait! Aren't you going to send us back? Gao Yuanming saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly grabbed the edge of the boat with his hand to keep him, but the boat was very strong and dragged him into the water for several steps.
"Stay in this place for as long as you like!" The worker saw Gao Yuanming holding his boat and stomped on his hand a few times.
Liang Miaomiao looked distressed, and said to Gao Yuanming: "If he doesn't want to pull us, forget it!" ”
"He doesn't count!" Gao Yuanming's hands had been trampled red, and the skin had broken and bleeding in several places, and he had been dragged by the boat for a long distance, and the water had already reached his chest.
"It's not worth it to get hurt for this kind of person! We can ask the villagers here to send us back! Liang Miaomiao persuaded again.
Seeing that the boat was about to enter the cave again, thinking of the sea devils in the cave who could catch people, Gao Yuanming had no choice but to let go of his hand unwillingly.
There was only the rumbling sound of fishing boats in the cave, and there was no shrill whistling, and it seemed that the sea devils did not go to the trouble anymore and the workers left.
The two men left the beach and walked towards the crowded area.
The village was full of low huts, and it should be afternoon when smoke was rising from the chimneys.
The two of them walked into the village in a hurry, their clothes wet with the sea, and the sea breeze actually made people feel a little chilled.
After the two of them walked into the village, the villagers they met along the way all looked at them with strange eyes, as if they had seen a livestock on the verge of death, with curiosity and a hint of pity.
There were almost only women and children in the village, and even a few men resting under the coconut trees were sallow-faced and sickly.
Liang Miaomiao greeted a group of children who were playing warmly, and asked kindly, "Where have all the men in your village gone?" ”
The children were hesitant to see Liang Miaomiao greeting them, and they pushed each other for a long time, and only then did a child say, "They all went fishing." ”
"Fishing?" Gao Yuanming's brows furrowed more and more, he had just seen that the fishing nets were drying on the beach.
Liang Miaomiao sneered, and whispered in his ear: "I think this fish is referring to us." ”
"Why do you say that?"
Seeing that the children were playing in the distance, Liang Miaomiao said: "There are no sea devils here at all, I think some local villagers are pretending to be ghosts by taking advantage of the inherent horror of the cave." After the two of us fell overboard, I threw a lot of cash to get out. Think about it, what do the ghosts want cash for? ”
"So what do we do now?"
Liang Miaomiao took out the remnant soul, the remnant soul trembled violently, Liang Miaomiao said: "If I want to find the body, it should be in this place, do you still have money on you?" ”
Gao Yuanming groped around his body, his face instantly turned purple, and he said angrily: "This group of people touched my wallet!" If it weren't for the speed at which you threw the money, my bag would have been ripped off! ”
"Let's find a family first and see if we can use an excuse to eat."
Liang Miaomiao walked around the village and saw that the door of a house was open, an eldest sister about fifty years old was sitting in the house eating alone, and a leash earth dog was guarding the door and grinning at them.
Depending on the situation, there is only the eldest sister in this family. The two of them stayed at the door for a while, and the eldest sister who was eating quickly came out of the house and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Liang Miaomiao said: "Eldest sister, we came from other places to find someone. Now it's getting dark, can we spend the night at your house? ”
The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly invited them into the house. At the same time, he kicked the big yellow dog with a fierce face: "Ah Wang, this is a guest of our family, don't be fierce!" ”
The yellow dog snorted a few times and lay on the ground dissatisfied, but his two eyes still looked at Liang Miaomiao and Gao Yuanming defensively.
"Hungry, huh? I'll cook some rice for you. ”
"Thank you, big sister."
Liang Miaomiao asked the eldest sister again for half a bucket of fresh water to flush herself in the bathroom, but fortunately, her backpack was waterproof, and there were dry clothes to change into.
When she washed the salt off her body, the eldest sister also cooked the rice and made an egg soup.
"Thank you, eldest sister, for taking it in."
"It's all trivial, I also have a pair of children working in other places, and I think of them when I see you."
Liang Miaomiao took a big bowl of rice, and after taking a bite, she felt that there was a strange taste in this rice.
Liang Miaomiao couldn't say what it tasted, Gao Yuanming stopped eating it when he saw her take a bite, and said, "Do you also think that this rice is not very delicious?" ”
The eldest sister smiled and said, "You two are outsiders, right?" This is an island, and the fresh water is filtered out of the sea, so there is a bitter and fishy smell of the sea. ”
"I see."
The two people who were hungry didn't care whether the food was good or not, and ate the bowl at once.
Because they were full of food and drink, the two of them had an inexplicable affection for this eldest sister, and the three of them gradually began to talk and laugh.
The sky was just dark, and Liang Miaomiao felt extremely tired and wanted to sleep in a daze.
"You're all tired, there's a room in the house where you can rest."
This house is where the eldest sister's daughter and son used to live, and there is a small bunk bed in the house. She neatly patted the dust on the bed board, and then put on the mattress and could sleep.
Liang Miaomiao planned to sleep on the lower bunk, but Gao Yuanming dragged his tired body and climbed onto the upper bunk.
The eldest sister said goodnight to them and gently closed the door.
The men in the village had already returned, and they heard that Liang Miaomiao lived in the eldest sister's house, so they sent someone over to explain a few words to the eldest sister.
The eldest sister nodded after listening to their words, returned to the house and tiptoed towards Liang Miaomiao and Gao Yuanming......
