Chapter 35: The Empty Village
When I returned to the hotel, I didn't see the hotel owner at the back door of the hotel, but when I walked into the hotel, I saw that the hotel owner was sitting at a table in the living room, and there were four dishes and a bottle of wine on the table.
Seeing the two of us coming back, the hotel owner hurriedly got up from the table, gave a thumbs up to the two of us with admiration, and said, "You two really have a kind, I'm convinced!" ”
Then, he warmly pulled the two of us to the table and sat down, and each of us poured us a glass of wine, saying that he liked us the most and wanted to make friends with us, so I asked the hotel owner, "Did you see the flashlight I gave you upstairs?" ”
The hotel owner nodded hurriedly, "I saw it, of course I saw it, I thought you two didn't dare to go up, you really have the guts!" As he spoke, he gave us both a thumbs up.
At this time, I was no longer in the mood to show off to the hotel owner, so I took a big sip of my wine glass, and said in my heart, since the hotel owner saw the signal I sent him, it means that I did not have a hallucination, which means that what I met in the building is true.
Thinking of this, I felt a little lost in my heart for some reason, how good it would be if it was really an illusion, I didn't have to worry about the bronze medal old snake, and I could go home steadily. However, what is the matter with putty powder and rope? And the green dress and the girl in white...... I patted my head and thought about what to do now.
The hotel owner saw that we both would drink, and persuaded us to drink, Qiang Shun was to see the wine as life, I was borrowing wine to kill my sorrows, and finally the two of us drank too much, and the hotel owner brought us a mat, and the two of us lay in the hotel living room and slept all night.
When I woke up the next day, I washed my hair and laundry clothes with the water hose in the restaurant, and I put on my clothes after washing.
The owner of the hotel invited us to breakfast, I wanted to give money, but the boss didn't want it, and said that he wanted to make us two friends.
More than ten years later, I went to Zhengzhou again with someone, and looked for it on that road, but after more than ten years, time has passed, this small restaurant has long been gone, and I haven't found the owner of this hotel, and now, I can't even remember what he looks like, but this person is a good person.
After breakfast, I asked Qiang Shun, do you remember the way home, can you go home alone?
Qiang Shun was stunned for a moment, and asked me why I asked him so, I said, I have something to do, I want to go to Chen Hui again, you go home by yourself first, and when you get home, talk to grandma.
Qiang Shun was suddenly unhappy, and asked me if I had anything to do to find Chen Hui, I held my breath and didn't say anything, Qiang Shun was anxious, and said: "I don't care, I will go wherever you go, if you don't go home, I won't go back!" ”
I was afraid that he would say that, but I couldn't tell him about the bronze medal, and I couldn't ask him to follow me on an adventure, so I hurriedly showed a smile at him and said, "I'm joking with you, don't go to Chen Hui, what are you going to do with him." ”
The two of them left the hotel and continued to walk in the direction of home, however, I said that my leg hurt, the injury was not good, and the procrastination was very slow, one morning, we walked more than ten miles, and looked, this is the noon again, and the stomach is hungry again, what about this area, I don't know what is going on, many Muslim restaurants, the names are some halal, Huihui, mutton or something.
The two of us found a very small Muslim restaurant and got in, but we didn't dare to order food, because the restaurant was not big, and the food was very expensive, so I asked for a bottle of white wine and two bowls of beef noodles in clear soup.
Coming out of the hotel, I couldn't walk anymore, I found a shady alley, the two of us sat against the wall and fell asleep in the alley, and after a while, Qiang Shun fell asleep, seeing him asleep, I slowly got up from the ground, looked at him, sighed in my heart, walked out of the alley, went to the outside commissary to buy a pen, a piece of letter paper, wrote a line on the letter paper with a pen, and took out a hundred yuan from his body, together with the letter paper, and stuffed Qiang Shun into his jacket pocket.
The letter paper reads: Qiang Shun, I have an important matter, I have to go back to Chen Hui, you go home by yourself first, and when I finish my work and go home, let's have a good drink.
When I left the alley, I couldn't help but look back and look, I don't know why, my heart was sour, and I wanted to shed tears.
This time, I stopped procrastinating and walked briskly south, returning the way I came.
At night, I didn't know what time it was, I crossed the Yellow River Bridge, spent the night in the reeds by the river, and the next day before dawn, I set off again.
According to what the old snake said, Chen Hui is fifty miles away from my southeast, if it is fast, it will be able to catch up in three days, yesterday is equivalent to a delay of one day, at this time, if you chase again, it is estimated that it will take at least three days, and it is not necessary to catch up in three days, remember that after we walked across the Yellow River Bridge last time, it seems that we walked to the town of Sanqingguan in a few days, that is to say, I don't have much time, if I go slowly, I can't catch up with Chen Hui, Chen Hui has already arrived at the Sanqingguan.
The road to that town, at this time, has already been walked twice, the road is already more familiar, I believe that as long as my feet are fast and follow the original road, I should be able to catch up with Chen Hui before he arrives at Sanqingguan.
So, every time I go to a place, I rely on my memory, to find the places where we have rested and rested before, in case Chen Hui is resting in these places, he will no longer enter the restaurant after eating halfway, and he will delay time in the restaurant, buy steamed buns and mineral water, and eat and drink water while walking.
The next day, I was on a garbage heap, picked up a schoolbag, as if it had just been thrown away, but the schoolbag was quite broken, a corner has been worn out of the hole, I saw that the schoolbag was not very dirty, so I carried it on my back, early in the morning to buy a dozen steamed buns, a few bottles of mineral water, put it in the schoolbag, when I was thirsty and hungry, I took out the steamed bun mineral water, and walked while eating and drinking. The taste of this is something that no one like me who has experienced it will never be able to experience it.
I walked day and night for three days and three nights, although I didn't see Chen Hui, but I felt that I was not far from him, and at this time, it was not too far from that town, at most two days away.
At noon, I went into a small forest on the side of the road, and the last time we walked here, Chen Hui took us to rest in the grove.
Walking in and looking, there was no shadow of Chen Hui in the woods, I was very disappointed, but I found that there was a grass under a tree, there were obvious traces of being sat on, and the grass on the ground was all crawling, it should be Chen Hui, because he was sitting here last time, he should have rested here, the time was either this morning, or last night, or maybe he just left not long ago.
At this time, the sun in the sky was very poisonous, I was tired and hungry, I guessed that Chen Hui must have rested somewhere at this time, he was almost there, but there were still a few days before the ten-day appointment, and he would not rush with a big sun.
So I sat on the prostrate grass, leaned against the tree, took out steamed buns and mineral water from my school bag, and nibbled on them to drink.
Just when the steamed bun was halfway through the gnaw, I suddenly found that there seemed to be something in the grass nest next to me, and I reached out to open the grass to see that it was a bottle, which looked quite new, and when I picked up the bottle from the grass nest, it was actually full of beer.
As I munched on the steamed buns, I wondered, why is there a bottle of beer here? Could it be that Chen Hui fell? However, Chen Hui doesn't seem to have a penchant for drinking, and when he looked at the production date, it was only out of the factory this month, that is to say, it has not expired, and he looked for it in the grass nest next to him, and found a lot of peanut skin, that is, the red skin on the outside of the peanuts, as if someone was sitting here eating fried peanuts and drinking beer, this bottle of beer, it is estimated that the person fell.
I put the beer aside and continued to eat steamed buns and drink mineral water, but from time to time I glanced at the bottle of beer, and in my heart I really wanted to drink it, which was like getting a piece of fat and putting it in the dog's mouth.
In the end, one didn't hold back, bit the cap with his teeth, and poured it into the bottle. When I bit the cap, I felt like the cap was a little loose, but it was only a momentary thing, and I didn't care.
Eating steamed buns and drinking beer, drinking to the end, I feel that the beer tastes a little bitter, I still think in my heart, this foreign beer is not used to drinking, or the aviation beer at home is delicious, while thinking, while gurgling and drinking to the bottom.
After drinking the wine, the steamed buns were full, I stood up and walked outside the grove, but after walking a few steps, I felt that my head was heavy, and my stomach was still gurgling, not too comfortable, and after walking a few steps, I felt that my legs were filled with lead, and I was dead, and my heart said, is it that I have been rushing day and night these days, tired, and if I can't, I will sleep for a while, I turned around and walked a few steps into the woods, I couldn't control my body, and I fell asleep directly under a tree.
I've never slept so deeply in my life, and I don't know how long I've been asleep, I opened my eyes in a daze, and I didn't know when it was cloudy, gloomy, as if it was going to rain, I said in my heart, I didn't sleep for a while, how to say that it was cloudy.
I walked out of the grove and saw that the road was still the same road, and there was no change in the surroundings, but the whole thing looked a little weird, quiet and terrible, anyway, there was an indescribable feeling.
Continue to walk south along the road, I feel that my pace is much lighter, no matter how fast the speed is, I don't feel a little tired, I said in my heart, this sleep is really effective, not only is not tired, even the leg injury does not feel painful, according to this speed, I can catch up with Chen Hui at night.
I don't know how long I walked along the road, I felt that something was wrong, and I found that the surrounding villages, buildings, and so on, became less and less desolate, and I was sure that I didn't go the wrong way, but the scenery on the side of the road was different, and after walking for so long, I didn't meet anyone, and I didn't hear a single sound, as if I was the only one left in the whole world.
I walked out of a section again, and my heart suddenly had no bottom, wondering if I was really going the wrong way, why did I look at the surroundings more and more strange, the last time I walked, although I didn't meet a few people, but I could see the village and town after walking for a while, at this time, why did I walk more and more desolate? The crops are gone, and there are only grass left on the barren slopes.
I didn't dare to go any further, this road must have been wrong, turned around and wanted to go back, but at this time, I found that there seemed to be a village in front of me, I thought, and then go back, I don't know when I will meet the village, I can't remember when I finally saw the village, it is better to walk a few more steps, to the village in front of me to ask for directions.
Soon, I came to the edge of this village, saying that it was a village, but there were only a dozen or so families, scattered on the west side of the road, and the houses of these dozen families were almost identical, all of them were adobe yards, and there was a clay tile house inside, and it felt as if they had returned to the Republic of China period.
When I arrived in this village, I found that the house was closed, and the village was so quiet that I couldn't even hear the sound of my own breathing, so I found a family and knocked on the courtyard door, but no one paid attention to me, and shouted a few times, but no one paid attention to me, as if there was no one, and knocked on another house, and followed the previous one, but there was still no one.
Of course I was not reconciled, more than a dozen courtyards knocked up one by one, what I didn't expect was that when I knocked on the last courtyard, there was actually someone inside, it was an old man, this old man, as soon as he saw me, he gritted his teeth, and said, little rabbit, I was looking for you, and I sent it to the door......
