Chapter 243: Mother-in-law
From the path by the lake, a person ran quickly, and it was this person who shouted just now, and the three of us quickly got off the boat when we saw this.
After a while, the man ran up to us and asked us very unceremoniously, "What do you want to do on our boat?" ”
I glanced at this man, who was dressed very ordinarily, like a person from a nearby village, not very tall, but quite sturdy, and looked like a strong man, looking like he could be about forty years old.
I hurriedly said to the strong man: "We don't do anything, we just pass by here, see this boat monster is fun, and go up and sit." ”
When the strong man heard this, he looked me up and down a few times, didn't speak, turned his head and looked at the stupid cow and Qiang Shun again, waved his hand at the three of us, and said coldly: "Let's go, this is a private place, outsiders are not allowed to come here." ”
The three of us glanced at each other, didn't say anything, didn't let us stay here and left, each took our luggage, and left along the path by the river, but after a few steps, the strong man shouted at us again, "Hey, where did you three come from?" ”
I turned around and raised my hand to point to the forest we had just come down from, "We're coming from there." ”
The strong man glanced in the direction of my finger towards the mountains and forests, and then asked, "Is there a road there?" ”
I replied, "No way, we are...... We got lost and came over the mountain. ”
The strong man didn't ask anything anymore, and the three of us continued to walk forward along the road, and as we walked, I turned my head to look at the lake, wondering in my heart, such a large lake, and between the mountains, it was still so remote, could it be a private place? Who has such a large amount of money to cover such a large lake, but they won't let us stay here, so let's go elsewhere and find another place.
The road by the river is a slope road, the river is the lowest point, the more we go forward, the higher the road surface, and so we go up the slope along the road, and go forward to have half a mile, there is a dilapidated earthen house on the side of the road, the house is not big, it looks like it is some years old, there is no courtyard wall in the whole child, next to the earthen house, there is a small shack built with linoleum and asbestos tiles.
In the small shack, there is a stove made of stones, there is an iron pot on the stove, in front of the stove, squatting an old woman, with gray hair, looking to be in her seventies, the old woman is groping at this time, as if she is looking for something near the stove, while looking, her mouth is still muttering: "Take the board?" What do you know? ”
As soon as I heard it, why is her dialect so familiar, doesn't it mean that it is beyond the Dabie Mountain, or the situation of Hubei Province, why does this old woman still speak our Henan dialect.
I involuntarily walked over, and the old woman immediately noticed me, turned her head to look at me, and I quickly stopped and asked, "Grandma, are you looking for matches?" ”
The old woman nodded blankly, my eyes lowered, and I looked into the stove, and I saw that there were some soft firewood for igniting fire in the belly of the stove, it seemed that the old woman was looking for matches to prepare for cooking, I took out the lighter on my body, and asked politely: "Grandma, I have a lighter, do you use it?" ”
The old woman shook her head and said, "It's not good." ”
I looked into the belly of the stove again and asked, "Do you want to light a fire and cook?" ”
The old woman nodded again, and I smiled, "Then I'll give you some." ”
The old woman didn't say a word, but looked me up and down suspiciously, and guessed that I didn't have any malice, got up from the side of the stove, and gave me the place. I walked over and squatted down in front of the stove, lit the lighter, and after a while, lit the fire, stood up from the stove, and smiled at the old woman, "Okay, grandma, the fire is lit." ”
The old woman looked me up and down a few more times, and asked me inexplicably, "Little brother, are you here to play?" ”
I shook my head and replied, "No, we happened to be passing through here." ”
The old woman looked at me suspiciously again and asked, "I don't know your accent is local, where are you from?" ”
Still smiling, I replied, "The three of us are all from Xinxiang, Henan. ”
"Oh......" the old woman sighed, and said no more, but I saw that the expression on her face was strange, and I smiled at her again, "Then you cook, let's go." ”
Silly Niu and Qiang Shun didn't come over at this time, they were both standing on the road, I walked a few steps towards them, and the old woman asked me again behind me: "Little brother, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
I turned around and said, "We just ate." ”
The old woman hurriedly said, "I don't think you look like you've eaten, so stay and have a meal before leaving." ”
I was about to politely refuse, but Qiang Shun walked over quickly and asked the old woman, "Grandma, do you really want to leave us for dinner?" ”
The old woman nodded seriously, and Qiang Shun immediately grinned, "It's so good, we haven't eaten hot rice for several days!" ”
I glared at him, and the old woman said very kindly: "Don't look at our poor family, you can still afford to take care of your meal, come on, come on, you can sit in the house first." ”
I blinked my eyes twice, full of doubts, I just helped this old woman to light a fire, is it suspicious that she should take care of our meal, and use such a fuss? At present, this area, if you can't get it, it is a place where you can break the bronze medal, Chen Hui said before that the Luo family is very likely to divide into two ways, one way to track us with evil weapons, and the other way to wait for us at the place where the bronze medal is broken, so this old woman ......
I looked the old woman up and down again suspiciously, ordinary clothes, ordinary looks, I don't have the fiery eyes of Sun Wukong, the naked eye is mortal, looking at the old woman is an ordinary peasant grandmother, not only is it not threatening, but it feels quite amiable. After thinking about it again, if this old woman really has no other background, she just sees the three of us pitiful and wants to take care of our meal, if I think about it again, it will be a bit of a dog biting Lu Dongbin, but this meal is too easy, and I can't be careless.
Qiang Shun and the stupid cow are very happy, although the two of them have eaten a few hard steamed buns just now, but they still can't resist the temptation of hot rice, the two of them first followed the old woman into the house, and I was the last to go in.
Take a look at the house, secretly relieved, there is no danger, it is just a very old private house-style pattern, there is a square table in the middle hall of the house, on both sides of the square table, two chairs with backrests, behind the square table, there is a tablet, there is a tablet on the table, and the tablet reads "the position of the gods of Baishan".
What is a "Baishan god" I haven't heard of, in front of the tablet, there is a porcelain bowl, the porcelain bowl seems to be half a bowl of sand, this I know, as an incense burner. The whole house looks like a very ordinary house, and there is nothing suspicious.
The old woman asked us to sit down first, and as soon as she turned around to go out, she said that she was going to the stove to add some firewood, and I hurriedly said to her: "Grandma, we can't eat your food in vain, so let us help you light the fire." ”
After speaking, without waiting for the old woman to agree, I hurriedly beckoned Qiang Shun and went outside to burn the fire.
The old woman nodded at me, and seemed to be quite happy for us to help, but I did this, firstly, to help the old woman, and secondly, in case the old woman had bad intentions and did something behind our backs, such as putting some drugs in the pot or something. At this time, it's better to be careful.
To be honest, I didn't want to eat at the old woman's house at that time, I just wanted to see what the old woman wanted to do, and whether she was from the Luo family.
The old woman saw Qiang Shun go out to light the fire, she turned around to a corner of the house, took out a bundle of vegetables, I looked, it seemed to be a wild vegetable on the mountain, a small pot was placed next to the wild vegetables, squatting there one by one picked up the vegetables, I hurriedly walked over, helped her pick vegetables together, the stupid cow also came to squat down.
While picking vegetables, the old woman looked at me, looked at me for a while, and asked, "Little brother, how old are you this year?" ”
I replied, "I'm sixteen years old." ”
The old woman looked at the silly cow again and asked, "You three...... Where is this going? ”
I thought about it for a moment and replied, "We're going...... Find a relative, our relatives have a job to do, we go to him to work. ”
The old woman asked again, "Then why did you come here?" ”
I replied, "We're lost." ”
The old woman smiled, "There are no people around here, and few people come here, so even if you find relatives and get lost, you can't get lost here." ”
When I heard this, I swallowed dryly, and said in my heart, why does this old woman feel so strange, is she chatting with me, or is she talking to me?
I replied, "We were on our way at night, and we walked along the road, and I don't know how we got here." Immediately, I asked rhetorically, "Grandma, you said that there is no one in this area, so why are you here?" ”
The old woman said: "There were a few families in this area in the past, and now they have all moved to a lively place outside the mountain, my old man's grave is here, I don't want to move, and now, I am left with a lonely old woman." Before I could say anything, the old woman followed up and asked, "Aren't your family worried about coming out to work at such a young age?" ”
I blinked my eyes twice, and said in my heart, why does this old woman have so many questions, can't she really be tricking me? But I couldn't help but answer her, so I replied: "They don't worry, my father told me since I was a child that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and as soon as I graduated from junior high school, my father asked me to come out to work." ”
The old woman smiled again and asked, "Then what does your father do?" ”
My heart sank suddenly, this old woman seems to be really tricking me, she won't be a member of the Luo family, she wants to set out my family background, so that she can attack our family in the future.
I replied seriously: "Farming, my parents are farming at home, and our ancestors have been farming for generations." ”
The old woman nodded, laughed even harder, and said, "I'm so old, I've seen a lot of lying children, but none of them are as true as you lie......"
