Chapter 1 Walking in the Late Night
In late autumn, around eleven o'clock in the evening, the weather in Dongbei is a little cool, the breeze rustles the poplars on both sides of the road, and from time to time there are some withered yellow fallen leaves, slowly falling.
"Ah sneeze" Lao Huang tightened his clothes and staggered over from a distance.
He tried to open his eyes, confirmed the route repeatedly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's weird, this is the way home, why haven't I arrived home yet"
Lao Huang is in his thirties, in the prime of life, this time is his favorite season, he has a flexible mind, but also enough to bear hardships and stand hard work, this year just borrowed money to buy a corn harvester.
Relying on his good popularity on weekdays and being sociable, the harvesting work in the nearby villages made him pick up a lot of money, which can be regarded as making a lot of money.
It's just that most of the neighbors love to pay on credit, and many families have to wait for the corn to be sold before they are willing to settle the wages, so after he finishes harvesting, he has to go door-to-door to settle the bill.
Today, he just went to a villager's house in a neighboring village to settle the account, and he couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the host, so he had to leave him to drink a few glasses, and a few glasses of spirits in his stomach, Lao Huang couldn't control his happy emotions.
According to the form of this year, I will soon be able to pay off the money I owe to relatives and friends, and if it goes so well next year, I will be able to add some gold and silver to my mother-in-law at home and buy myself a car.
Thinking of this, he was in a very happy mood, and involuntarily drank more than a pound in the staggered cups, and then in the constant phone urging of his wife, he got up to say goodbye and went home.
Lao Huang's village is only three or five miles away from the village where he collects accounts, which can be said to be very close, for fear of a drinking party, he deliberately did not ride a motorcycle, after all, it usually takes more than 20 minutes to walk.
But when I came, I didn't feel how difficult it was to walk, and when I returned, Lao Huang felt that something was wrong the more I walked, it stands to reason that this road, I have been walking for at least 20 years, and I won't get lost with my eyes closed.
But I don't know why, I feel like I've been walking for more than 30 minutes today, and I still haven't arrived home, and it's dark in front of me, I can only vaguely see the poplars on both sides, but I can't see the lights of my village in front of me.
Although Lao Huang drank a little too much, he also faintly felt that something was wrong, he shook his head, tried to make himself more sober, took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, and walked forward.
The countryside is not better than the city, no matter what time there are bright street lights, usually everyone has slept at eleven o'clock, this country road is said to be out of sight of the five fingers is not an exaggeration.
Lao Huang Shen walked with one shallow foot, completely relying on his memory, and the rustle of the wind and leaves kept coming from his ears, which made him feel a little chilled.
As the saying goes, in February and August, dress indiscriminately, and the late autumn day says that it is cold or not, and it is not hot that Lao Huang wears a long sleeve, and it stands to reason that under the catalysis of alcohol, he will feel hot.
Na Cheng thought that he was getting colder and colder now, and after walking for a while, Lao Huang took out his mobile phone again, wondering why the tigress at home was so stop, and he didn't call him for a long time.
I wanted to report safety, but I found that the phone didn't know what was wrong, there was no signal at all, and there was only a big X in the upper right corner of the screen.
"Damn! This is not good for breaking the countryside, there are usually signals, this when I get home, maybe how the tigress scolds me, and when I work hard for two more years, I have to move to the city! “
Lao Huang muttered, cursed, and was about to go home, but when he looked up, he found two figures coming in front of him.
These two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared in front of Lao Huang's eyes at some point, and they were only ten meters away from him.
But he saw it clearly, and it was clearer than during the day.
The two figures walking in front of her looked like a mother and son, the woman looked to be in her thirties, with white skin and beautiful appearance, graceful and graceful, with long black hair and a ponytail tied casually.
That skin, that figure, tsk, Lao Huang has lived for more than 30 years, and he has never seen anyone with such a good-looking woman.
She was holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her hand, this little girl was also pink and delicate, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and two small dimples, which were rare to look at.
"Whose mother is this, why did you come here in the middle of the night, looking at the face, it shouldn't be from a nearby village!"
Lao Huang stepped forward to inquire, but he felt a little abrupt, and when he opened his mouth to speak, the woman opened his mouth first.
"This eldest brother, may I ask where this is, our mother and daughter are going to Shanghe Village to find relatives, which Cheng thinks that the mobile phone is out of battery, and people are lost, and they can't find their way!"
The sound is crisp and pleasant, with an indescribable charm, echoing on this midnight country road, revealing a hint of weirdness.
"Ahh Big sister, this should be the middle of the old bark village and the Sun family weizi, you have to go to the west of Shanghe Village, it is estimated that it can be three or five miles, very close. ”
When he met this good-looking lady, Lao Huangjiu woke up for three points, he only felt that the woman in front of him was so good-looking, what a blessed man it must be to marry such a beautiful wife.
Think about the thick tigress in your own house, hey, this gap! If this were my wife, I would be willing to live ten years less.
After listening to what Lao Huang said, the woman's expression was a little confused, as if she didn't understand how to go, she looked at Lao Huang, her lips opened slightly, and she wanted to stop talking, as if she wanted to ask Lao Huang for help.
"Mom! I'm afraid, it's too dark here, let's hurry home! ”
At this time, the lovely little girl tugged at the woman's clothes and said timidly. The woman looked at the child, as if she had made up her mind, and turned to Lao Huang and begged:
"This eldest brother, you see that my mother and I are from other places, and I am really unfamiliar with this place, and it is so dark this day, can you give us a ride?"
"I know it's a bit difficult for a strong man, but if you send us to the place, I'm willing to pay you two hundred yuan as a payment, do you think that's good?"
"Uh... This one... Good.. All right! ”
After listening to the woman's request, Lao Huang suddenly shivered somehow, feeling a little chilly in his body, originally he wanted to refuse, after all, the tigress at home was angry, but it was not easy to provoke.
But he thought about it, in this wilderness mountain village, it is indeed not easy for a mother and son, and he got lost, so he gave him a ride, and he had the right to do a good deed, not to mention that people didn't say it, and they didn't let themselves be given away in vain.
When the two of them heard Lao Huang's promise, they were overjoyed, the woman smiled, took the child's hand, and walked to Lao Huang in three or two steps, and said with a smile:
"Great, then there is this big brother Lao, you are such a good person! An An, don't you thank Uncle soon."
"Thank you, uncle! Uncle, you are so nice! The little girl named An An was not afraid of life, grinned sweetly, and thanked Lao Huang.
As the two women stepped forward, a refreshing fragrance also wafted into Lao Huang's nasal cavity, and this fragrance didn't know whether it was perfume or the body fragrance of the woman in front of her, it smelled very good.
The woman stepped forward, and she didn't shy away from it, as if she was afraid of the dark, and clinged to Lao Huang's side. As she got closer, the good aroma became stronger and stronger.
But I don't know if it's an illusion or what's going on, as the woman got closer, Lao Huang also felt that his body was getting colder and colder, he didn't think much about it, he just felt that the fragrance was very good, dizzy, as if the wine had been smoked a little bit.
The heart said that my Lao Huang also has today haha, it seems that I am lucky tonight, such a beautiful woman, so close to me, but it is the first time.
At this time, the little girl didn't know when she broke free of the woman's hand, ran to the other side of Lao Huang, and grabbed Lao Huang's big hand.
"Eh, why is this kid's hands so cold, aren't they frozen?" Lao Huang only felt that this little hand was unusually cold, it could be said that there was no temperature, like an ice cube.
Hey, it seems that my Lao Huang really did a good thing today, this lady is blind in the dark, and lost her way, look at this child's hands, her son is her age, but he has not suffered such a crime, thinking of this, he suddenly felt pity.
tightened his hands, held the little girl's hand, took the two of them, and walked in the direction of Shanghe Village with memory.
