Chapter 30: Black Kids
Early in the morning of the 28th, Zou Wenfang was the earliest uncharacteristically. No way, his throat is dry now, he wakes up with thirst. He knew that the next days would be hot, and if he didn't eat spicy, he would starve to death, and he might starve to death. People who don't eat spicy food will always taste the same delicious taste less than others, and it also adds a touch of regret to their lives.
If we hurry up today, they will probably be able to get to Chongqing when they rest at night.
Today, the three little ghosts along the way were much more obedient and didn't make Chen Shilian angry again. The big and small alleys are obedient to Zou Wenfang's words and try to please him.
But Zou Wenfang himself has always been puzzled, why do they worship him as a teacher, is it because he is too attractive? Thinking about it before, the surprised expressions that those two boys showed when they saw his daughter-in-law Chen Shilian showing her skills, and then they caught up with the carriage to learn martial arts, and yesterday they changed to worship him as a teacher. Zou Wenfang had to suspect that the two of them took the opportunity to stay by Chen Shilian's side, and the plan was not small.
Not to mention what to learn from the apprentice, Zou Wenfang is also happy to be idle, how comfortable it is to be served.
In the evening, the four of them arrived in Wuping Town, Chongqing.
Wuping Town is really deserted, and it can't be compared with the previous Sibao Township. It was dark, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road in the town. If it weren't for the faint light peeking through the door of the house and the sound of a dog barking in the distance, it would have been thought to be a place where no one was around.
The four of them entered the town in a carriage, and they began to look for a place to stay. In this deserted town, you don't have to think about the restaurant inn or anything, it's good to have someone to take it in.
The big and small alleys were sent down by Master Zou Wenfang to knock on doors and spend the night. But how could these two rich men know this, they didn't understand anything, they really knocked on the door from door to door.
The first house was huge, just a little old. The door was a little broken, as if it had been closed from the inside, and it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.
Since it was dark, the brothers didn't see the whole house clearly, so they ran over and knocked on the door, "Knock knock, knock knock." β
Da Lang said inside, "Is anyone home?" Come and open the door, we're here to spend the night. β
Xiao Lang didn't speak, this kind of work is enough with his brother.
The answer is endless silence.
"Xiao Lane, is there no one sleeping inside?"
"Why don't you shout louder?"
So Da Lang shouted a few more words very obediently, and the answer to him was still the quiet night.
Chen Shilian shook her head in the carriage and continued to watch coldly.
Zou Wenfang was also curious at this time, and asked: "Daughter-in-law, did they ask if there was a problem with the first one?" Why are you shaking your head? β
Chen Shilian didn't speak, and continued to watch the two brothers busy with their work.
The second house was occupied by people, and the lights in the house were very dim. There was a knock on the door, and inside was a man with a black face.
The man first poked his head out and looked left and right, but no one thought he had heard it wrong, and closed the door with a "bang".
The big and small alleys had to continue to knock again, and this time the big black man came out directly, only to find two little ghosts at the door. He said impatiently, "What are you doing? β
It was just ignored, and the two brothers were still angry. Now standing in front of the big black man who looks like a mountain, the big lane and the small lane are like two chickens, and the words are a little trembling. "Can we, can we, come to your house and borrow it, and spend the night?"
"Are you blind? My house is such a small house, you also come to knock on the door, hurry up and get out of my way. Disturb Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will beat you to death. β
In their hometown, the two brothers want the wind to be windy and rainy. In the unfamiliar Chongqing, they were scolded like this by the vicious black man, and they were frightened. Their feet became extremely heavy, and they wanted to leave, but they couldn't move their steps.
The big black man just wanted to drive them away and scare them, but he didn't want to frighten them at all. Seeing that they seemed to be frightened, he closed the door directly, and silently thought in his heart: It's none of my business, it's none of my business, it's none of my businessγγγγγγ
After the door was closed, the two came to their senses, and then said that they would not knock on the door.
At this time, Zou Wenfang was eager to try, wanting to show his hand in front of his two apprentices.
He looked at it and thought of the previous two, the first one was either asleep or there was no one inside. The second house is small, and it can't be used overnight. Zou Wenfang began to carefully observe the next few families, and found that they were all small houses like the second one. He didn't plan to knock on the door, but kept going, and he finally found that all but the first one were all small houses. Unless it's a place to live in a firewood house or something, he can't ask where to go.
He simply gave up and returned to the carriage behind him. Seeing the smiling gazes cast by the two apprentices, he also blushed, and directly "hey, hey, hey" to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
The three little ghosts all looked at Chen Shilian at this time, she directly turned the carriage around the horse's head and walked to the place where she came.
The three of them sighed in their hearts, couldn't it be that Sister Chen was angry and wanted to drag them to live in the wild? But they did not dare to speak, and annoyed the boss in the carriage, who had nothing good to eat.
When we reached the first one, the carriage stopped.
Chen Shilian got out of the carriage and walked directly over to push the door, when the house shook obviously with the earth, and a miserable scream "Ah" suddenly came out of the house.
There was an earthquake!!
Where have those three little ghosts seen an earthquake, plus that scream, where will there be no fear. The big and small alleys just retracted back into the carriage and huddled together.
Zou Wenfang saw that his daughter-in-law Chen Shilian kicked the door open, it seemed that he wanted to go in, although he was scared to death at this time, how could he bear to leave her. He went to get off the kerosene lamp in the carriage and followed tremblingly.
When Chen Shilian heard the scream, she kicked the door with one kick, "bang", and the door fell to the ground. Chen Shilian also noticed the faint kerosene light behind her, and the corners of her mouth also smiled, she knew that he was coming. In the dark room, she found a small black mass in a corner.
With the arrival of Zou Wenfang, the room was much brighter. Chen Shilian took a closer look and found that it was a child who looked like a little beggar. At the moment, he was holding himself in a ball, trembling there. I didn't even react when someone approached, I just shivered.
The earthquake came suddenly and went quietly. When Zou Wenfang walked into the house, the earthquake was gone.
Chen Shilian is also a motherhood now, and she directly stepped forward and hugged this black child in her arms. Chen Shilian gently patted the black child's back, and comforted her gently: "Child, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my sister is here, don't be afraid." β
The black child on the ground also felt the warm embrace, although his body was still shaking involuntarily, but it was slowly fading.
After a long time, the black child stopped shaking, secretly raised his head and glanced at his sister, smiled, and then fainted.
When the brothers in the carriage saw that the ground was no longer shaking, and that there was a strange thing about it, they immediately ran into the house. When I ran in, I found that there was one more person inside, a black child.
