Chapter 111: Returning to the Hidden Mountain Village

Jiang Yan has the protection of robots and can leave with confidence.

"Kaiming, where are you going to take refuge?" she asked.

"I'm going back to my hometown, which is deep in the mountains, and metal aliens are hard to find. "I originally planned to go back with An Yi, but now I can only go with An Qi.

When I went home and packed my luggage, I heard the horn outside, and Angel's car stopped in front of my house.

She got out of the car and opened the trunk, which already contained a red suitcase and left room for another.

The two boxes, one red and one black, were placed side by side, and poof, she closed the lid, "Is there anything else?"

Looking back at the villa behind him, "no ......"

The car went forward in the sunset, on the ring highway, the road was full of water bottles, old tires, and other debris, the speed was maintained at 35 miles, passing by the toll booth, the glass windows were broken, and no one was stationed inside.

Occasionally, passing cars on the road, hurrying past each other, the windows closed tightly, and a van approaching on the opposite side, with a row of gun holes in the body, the road ahead seemed to be full of dangers.

After an hour on the road, the sun sinks in the mountains, and on the highway without street lights, the car can only walk 30 miles, and the foreign object makes the suspension rattle, and the body shakes with it.

Fifty meters ahead, a white SUV was parked in the opposite lane, and a man and woman stood outside the car, waving to passing cars.

"Their car seems to be out of order and needs help. ”

Before she could stop it, Angel drove over and stopped in front of them. It's dark outside and parking is not a good idea.

The man and woman leaned over to the car, bowed their backs and said, "Our car has broken down, can you give us a ride?"

"We headed to the small town around the mountains. He said to the man and woman through the half-open window.

The man replied, "That's right, we're going to the town, can you give us a ride?" ”

Looking to the side, Angel nodded in agreement.

"Okay, take your luggage and get on the bus. ”

"Oh, thank you. He backed away with the woman and went back to the SUV to get something.

At this time, Kaiming said to Angel in the driver's seat, "Drive quickly, quickly." ”

She was stunned, holding the steering wheel for some reason, until the man and woman moved the automatic rifle from the SUV, then stepped on the accelerator, the wheels slipped a few times, and the sedan rushed forward.

Turning around, the man and woman chased ten meters away, raised their guns and swept away, the back box clanged, and the rear window shattered. After the sedan turned into a far point, they finally gave up shooting.

Angel breathed a sigh of relief and straightened her back from her chair, "It's so dangerous, how do you know that they are robbers?"

"Guess, they are obviously in the opposite lane, but they say that they are going to the small town around the mountain, and there must be some fraud in them. ”

After this accident, she significantly increased her speed, and at 7 p.m., the car drove into the entrance of the village, and a wild dog chased after the car, making an annoying barking sound. It chased to the door, and the car stopped and ran away.

As soon as Angel got out of the car, she hurriedly pushed open the wooden door of the yard, and Kai Ming had to carry the luggage alone.

"This is where you lived as a child?" she said, pointing to the moss-covered tiled house.

"Yes, I have to grieve you during this time. "A woman who has been in the city since she was a child, I'm afraid she can't get used to living in a mountain village.

She stood in front of the fence in the courtyard, looking out at the col opposite, and the strange cries of insects came from the darkness, but she did not see fear in her eyes, but was full of curiosity. I hope this curiosity can be maintained for a long time, will not be diluted by the next boring life, the mountain village is located in a remote area, there is no network cable at home, there is no TV, even the mobile phone signal is intermittent, it is estimated that few people in the city can survive this life, can not go online can not send a circle of friends, people will go crazy.

There was a musty smell in the house, all the windows were opened for ventilation, and there were wild cat droppings on the adobe bricks, but fortunately, I came back with An Yi last time to repair the house, and I can still live after cleaning.

"Ah......h

As the sheets were spread, Angel rushed in, wearing only a bath towel, her long hair sticking together, dripping water on the ground, her eyes wide open, her chest rising and falling, and said, "There are spiders in the bathroom." ”

Living in the mountains, it is inevitable that small animals will run into the house, the most common grasshoppers, frogs, when I was a child, I also saw a green bamboo snake, the green body bent forward in the living room, and finally was picked out of the house by my mother with a stick. Like snakes and spiders, you have to be extra careful, and the colorful ones are poisonous and ruthless characters.

Follow her into the bathroom, where there is a spider sticking to the wall, the size of a palm, gray all over its body with small round spots, and eight long legs spread out in all directions. Its correct name is the white-fronted tall spider, the locals call it "Bird Prison", according to common sense, it is non-venomous, mainly preys on mosquitoes and flies, Kaiming has never seen such a big one, that pair of fangs made him dare not touch it with his hands, find an empty bean curd glass bottle, gently cover it.

Knowing that he had been fooled, the spider jumped around in the bottle, hit the top of the bottle and fell back to the bottom, its body overturning, and its limbs huddled together.

When it stopped jumping, Kaiming slowly lifted it away from the wall and put the lid on. "Be careful, it's scary. Hearing Angel's reminder behind his back, he was distracted, and when he turned around, the spider jumped on the mouth of the bottle and jumped into the air.

The two of them threw their heads up, their feet slipped, and they both fell on the slippery ground. Kaiming pressed on Angel's body, the towel fell off, and her naked body was all under her nose.

She was about to stand up, but her eyes widened, and she pointed to the top of his head and said, "Spider...... Spider. ”

It's tickling on the head, it's really on it!

The two didn't dare to move, their eyes met at close range, and even their breathing became cautious.

"Is it gone?" asked the woman underneath him who covered her chest with only her hands.

"Let's go...... Finish. ”

He stood up, turned his back, and Angel wrapped herself in a towel and ran out of the bathroom with a red face.

On the hill outside the community, in a dimly lit hole, the metal Inhuman blinked his red eyes and looked down at a large burn on his chest, where all the scales had fallen off.

I really didn't expect that the ironclad man's laser weapon could burn through the metal scales, and if it continued to shine for a while, I was afraid that it would penetrate the entire body, which was damn.

He stood up and sat back on the floor with a painful look on his face.

When the wound is healed, we must get rid of the ironclad man, as well as the damn Kaiming and the *woman.

At this moment, a frog jumped on the ground, and he grabbed it in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, opening and closing the two rows of fangs up and down.

It's hard to eat, and there's not much meat in this little thing, it's all bitter and astringent offal. I'm afraid that this injury will not heal for a while, and I will have to stay in the cave for a while.

"Kaiming, get up. ”

Angel entered the room early in the morning and woke up the sleeping person, because she found that there was no food in the pot, the rice jar was empty, and the two of them came in a hurry and had not prepared food.

There was no market in the mountain village, so Kai Ming came to the courtyard, and the green vines on the ground were growing vigorously, so he went back to the house and got a hoe.

"What are you going to do?" said Angel as he went down to the ground to dig through the dirt.

He pointed to the mud puddle at his feet and replied, "Our breakfast is in there." ”

She crouched down to pick up the dirt, and inside was a large sweet potato. I dug a square meter of land, and a basket was already filled. Wash the dirt off the surface and put it in a pot to steam.

In the past ten minutes, Angel lifted the lid, took out one from the hot water, broke the hot sweet potato in half, and tasted the purple heart potato meat, the sweet taste melted in her mouth.

Seeing her satisfied expression, Kai Ming also picked out one, this taste evoked a long memory, when he was a child, his mother would often cook sweet potatoes, that was his favorite snack, the mountain village is not like the city full of snack shops, even if you have money, you can't buy candy and other snacks.

The two drove to a small town ten kilometers away and bought some rice and vegetables, which were three times more expensive than before, and they were acceptable, much cheaper than the day-high food in the city.

"Isn't this Kaiming?" a woman carrying a basket appeared behind her.

"Auntie. "The last time I saw her when I came back for the funeral, she was the only person in the mountain village who was not annoying.

She looked at Angel, "Who is this?"

"My sister-in-law. ”

"No wonder she looks exactly like her niece. ”

The appearance is quite similar, but the personalities are very different.

When the aunt saw the rice and vegetables that the two were holding, she guessed that they were going to stay in the village for a long time, and invited her to her house as a guest, but she remembered that she had a bad time with her uncle last time, and Kaiming politely refused, so as not to quarrel again when the two sides met.

She took two steps to say goodbye, then turned back and said, "Kaiming, don't forget that tonight is Tengu Day. ”

has been away for many years, if she doesn't mention it, she will forget about it.

"What is the Tengu Festival?" asked Angel as she looked at her aunt's distant back.

"The tengu festival is celebrated in the mountain village on the tenth night after the beginning of spring, and I don't know how it originated or what to pray for, but on this night every year, people who live in the village bring food and go up the mountain to worship the tengu. ”

"Shall we go and join in the fun?" her eyes already indicated that she wanted to go.

"Go ahead and bring a roast chicken. "If someone in the village doesn't go, you'll be looked down upon by everyone, although everyone doesn't believe in the existence of the tengu, let alone that it will bring bad luck to the village, but when you do something contrary to others, they will treat you as an outlier, so when everyone goes to be a fool, you'd better go with it, otherwise it will be difficult to stay in the village.

After noon, Kai Ming took Angel to the field at the foot of the mountain, pointed to a few acres of fields, and said, "This is my family's field, we have to plant something, otherwise we will be hungry in the future." This is true, things are getting more and more expensive now, I am afraid that the currency will become a blank slate, and only by returning to the countryside can we support ourselves.

Angel looked at the field where the weeds were taller than a man, "You're kidding me, aren't you? ”

"It's been years before it's overgrown. Come on, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not go hungry. ”
