Chapter 7 Into the Village
The two of them slept for a while, An Yiheng was woken up halfway, and the fat man slept on his back, rubbing his eyes and seeing that Village Chief Liu was still sitting in front of him to drive the donkey cart, so he said to him: "Uncle Liu, you always lie down and rest, this is not okay if you don't sleep." ”
"You are An Wazi, the front is almost here, wake up Sun Wazi too, eat something hot, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning." After Village Chief Liu finished speaking, An Yiheng saw the stone house built with stones in front of him.
Wake up the fat man, don't look down on this stone house, light a fire and set up a kettle, and the house will be warm in a while.
"Whoop......" A wolf howl pierced through the night sky that had passed. Village Chief Liu tied the donkey, fed the fodder, took a shotgun from the car, and closed the door when he returned.
An Yiheng had some differences, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Liu, it was a wolf howling just now, Erhei will not be eaten by wolves if he is tied outside." ”
The village chief gave me a reassuring look and said, "No, this mountain also has the rules of the mountain, and every place has a spirit in charge, and the animals in this mountain have already made a contract not to invade each other." ”
The fat man was a little unconvinced, and his face was full of doubts: "That's not right, now that there are more people hunting in the mountains, why don't you care about the spirit." ”
"We also have rules for hunting, we must worship the mountain god when entering the mountain, and we can only hunt outside, and we are not allowed to go deep into the mountains, which are the rules left by our ancestors." After speaking, he hugged and snuggled up to the base of the wall and closed his eyes.
An Yiheng took a look at the fat man and gave him a look, "Just talk a lot about you." Quickly lie down on the side and snuggle up to each other to sleep. In the middle of the night, there was a rustling outside the stone house, accompanied by the muffled wheezing of animals, perhaps asking the smell of human beings, and it had not left for a long time.
Early in the morning, I woke up early, and when I went out, I saw wolf footprints around the stone house. An Yiheng's first reaction was to see if Erhei was okay, but Erhei was eating grass and shook his head a few times. "Uncle Liu, the animals in this mountain really have a contract, this is too godly."
Village Chief Liu set up the car and beckoned: "Get in the car, I'll tell you the story in the mountains." ”
I don't know how long ago it was, when humans were still living with animals, for some reason the war between humans and beasts broke out, humans occupied the plains, and the orcs occupied the mountains and forests, and neither side could help anyone. However, the humans in the deep mountains and the orcs on the plains could not return to their corresponding territories, and the supreme rulers of both humans and beasts negotiated repeatedly for many years, and finally made a peace treaty. Since then, the two races of man and beast have been at peace, and the treaty has continued until now.
The fat man said: "Then do you have to have a notary present to sign this treaty?" ”
"Fatty, you just have too much oil and water, I really want to see if you have lard in your head."
Uncle Liu said: "Sun Wazi is really right, it is impossible to stop the war that lasts for a hundred years, and there is really a person who mediates from it, not to be precise, he is not a person, and no one knows his identity." ”
An Yiheng is an atheist, and he doesn't believe in this unbelievable legend, but some things have not been proven accordingly. At that time, he said: "Uncle Liu, we have been on the road for almost three days, and we have been walking in this forest. ”
"What deep mountains and old forests, bypass the mountain in front, we will arrive, when the time comes, you go to my house, I will give you two a whole roe deer meat to taste, rack." As he spoke, he sped up.
Before he could get around the mountain, what appeared in front of him was curling smoke, and Village Chief Liu led the donkey and walked a country road, which was a village arranged in a disorderly manner, but they all had one thing in common, that change was to sit in the north and face south. The people in the village were very enthusiastic, where was Village Chief Liu in the car, and got down a package: "Zhang Cuihua yours, Wang Lao Wu......" These people took their things and went back, without even looking at An Yiheng and the others.
In the evening, Village Chief Liu was hospitable, braised roe deer meat, Village Chief Liu's granddaughter, Liu Guiying was in charge of the kitchen, and they hadn't eaten a good meal for so many days. After eating, lying on the hot kang and reluctant to move, Liu Guiying said with an unhappy face: "I really regard this as my own home, and I will sleep after eating." ”
Village Chief Liu was still pinching the cigarette pouch and pot, and said with a smile: "Don't suggest it, Yingzi and his father died early, and she suffered a lot from snacks, and exchanged her hard work for food, so she didn't want to see lazy people the most."
"You two will sleep here today, and tomorrow the old house behind the village will be cleaned up, just live there, there is no work in winter, and the time for winter hunting has not yet arrived, you should first get familiar with the people in the village, remember not to go casually in the mountains." Village Chief Liu gave some more warnings.
The next day, Liu Guiying took them to the old house, and the two of them were in a terrible mood, the windows were two big holes, and the doors were also tattered, the kind that could be kicked and broken. Liu Guiying said: "Don't underestimate this old house, fix it and warm it." ”
The fat man said: "I'm afraid the age of this house is older than the age of me and Lao An combined." ”
An Yiheng glanced at him: "So many words, hurry up and work, you want to be in such a house on a cold night." ”
"Bang" The fat man stood up straight, strode forward and said: "*** said, this is just the first step of the long march!" Resolutely fight against the reactionaries. ”
Yes, the evacuation was further, Yingzi brought a plastic sheet at home, fixed it on the window, sprinkled a thick layer of hay on the house, and the door was newly fixed and wrapped in plastic sheeting. Cleaned inside and out, the house is brand new, and the outside is in tatters.
"Fatty, our root base has been established now, and we will also take root here, marry and have babies in the future." An Yiheng said in a joking tone.
"Lao An, you can't be degenerate, you are still needed for national construction, and personal emotional problems have to be in the back row." The fat man said with wide eyes.
Yingzi just carried some wood into the house, and when she heard what they said, she felt a little unnatural in her heart, and said: "You two don't pull calves, hurry up and make a fire to burn the kang, I'll go to the house to get a quilt, and you two will deal with it first." ”
The fat man looked at Yingzi directly, and Yingzi was a little hairy.
"What."
"The two of us have a quilt, and we don't want to sleep in a quilt."
"It's good to have a quilt, this is still what my grandfather made for the two of you, be content."
An Yiheng quipped: "Fatty, it seems that we will have to sleep in the same trench in the future, which will increase our deep friendship, so it's decided." ”
The firewood was a little wet, which was a difficult task for the two of them, who had never burned a fire since childhood. The two pondered for a long time, the smoke was billowing in the room, An Yiheng pulled the fat man and ran out, and the two were choked with tears.
