Chapter 14 The Old Locust Tree
After Wen Jing and the others arranged, everyone also dispersed, yes, no accidents, Wen Jing and Xiaoru are in the same room, the relationship between the two is good, and sleeping together is commonplace!
"Wen Jing, you said that the village chief didn't want to talk about the men in the village before, do you think there is anything hidden?" Xiaoru asked curiously while making the bed
Wen Jing was reading a book at this time, and after listening to Xiaoru's question, she said with a smile: "Maybe others have something unspeakable, you, your curiosity is really big."
"Oh, Wen Jing, I don't believe it yet, aren't you curious at all?"
"I'm curious, but since the village chief doesn't say it, I'm not interested in finding out, who is like you, I'm impatient when something happens."
Xiaoru said aggrievedly: "Then what can be done?" Then his eyes lit up and he said, "Wen Jing, why don't we go to the village for a walk?" Maybe you'll find something."
Wen Jing said angrily: "You don't want to see what time it is?" It's nine o'clock now, it's so dark, and the warning sign in the village says that there are wild beasts, so go out at this time, you're not afraid of encountering wild beasts."
"Quiet! Why are you so cowardly? Ever since I met that Lin Fan, oh oh, the master is okay, since I met the master, you said that your whole person has changed, although I can't say what it is, but in the past, you wouldn't be so forward-looking and hesitant before"
Xiao Ru saw Wen Jing's unkind eyes and hurriedly changed her voice to the master, but Xiao Ru obviously complained
"Hehe, it's not a matter of being timid or not, okay, it's okay to go out, but only in the village, not out, otherwise if you really encounter a beast, it will be terrible......"
Wen Jing put down the book in her hand, got up and said. In fact, she is really curious, but for safety, it is a big deal not to leave the village
"Well, I know, you are still that quiet, I don't leave the village, who knows what is in the deep mountains and old forests" Xiaoru said excitedly!
Yin Soul Village is the kind of very backward and primitive village, for example, the village did not open a road to the county seat until three years ago, and this road was still dug out, Yin Soul Village is surrounded by mountains, so this road can be said to have been opened after several generations of efforts
The original ancestors of the Yin Soul Village also inadvertently fell down on the mountain and found here, so there is the current Yin Ghost Village, but no one knows that this village really came into contact with modern society three years ago, and what was retained before was the ancient style, such as the buildings here, although they are all earthen houses, but the architectural style is quite retro. For example, some of the villagers here are even wearing ancient costumes, of course, it is still that kind of coarse linen clothes, but when Wen Jing and others saw it for the first time, they just thought that the village was poor, so they made their own clothes, and this kind of clothes were relatively simple to wear and do, they didn't think much about it, after all, the villagers wearing ancient costumes accounted for a very small minority.
The two quietly went out of the earthen house, at this time the already quiet small village seemed extraordinarily quiet, if this was in the city, then this time was the beginning of the night market, not to mention the endless crowd, at least it was lively, but the ghost village was really extremely quiet, except for the occasional cricket and nightingale's call, the whole village was almost silent
It's just that Wen Jing and Xiaoru didn't know at this moment that the people in the village hadn't slept yet, and they had gathered together......
"Wen Jing, it's so quiet here"
"There's no way, in the countryside, I'm already resting early, who doesn't sleep after two or nine o'clock like us?"
"Hey, Wen Jing, who are like the two of us? Haven't we always gone to bed at ten o'clock? Besides, who doesn't go to bed at eleven or twelve o'clock when they're at home? ”
"Yes, you have a point, then, since you are out, where are we going? You can't really wander around without a purpose, right? Wen Jing asked
Xiaoru patted her towering chest and said: "Hehe, of course I've already thought about it, how can I say that Luan Xiaoru is also a top student in psychology and knows how to read words and feelings." Saying that, Xiao Ru pointed to a small slope located at the foot of the mountain near the village and said: "Na, you see, there is the back mountain of the village, it is said to be the back mountain, in fact, it is just a small slope, I asked the villagers during the day, they all refused to say, but all of them looked at the back mountain intentionally or unintentionally, so I think we should go there to see, there must be a problem" Xiao Ru said firmly
Wen Jing said worriedly: "There won't be beasts in the back mountain, right?" It's too dangerous to go to the mountains, why don't you go again tomorrow during the day? ”
Xiaoru said: "That's not good, you finally agreed to come out, don't go and see me, besides, this is the back mountain in the village, it belongs to the scope of the village, how can there be wild beasts?" Don't worry, if there is really danger, I'm in the way, you retreat, right? ”
Wen Jing was speechless, she knew that if this Xiaoru really came hard, ten cows would not be able to pull it back, although she was still a little worried, but thinking about it, there should not be much danger, so she said:
"Okay, okay, what am I afraid of with you to protect me, so let's go?"
Xiaoru hugged Wen Jing and kissed her: "Haw, it's better to be quiet, I really want to become a man, so that I can marry you!" ”
Wen Jing's face was slightly red, although it was not the first time that the two had been so close, Wen Jing was still a little thin-faced
"Nonsense, still become a man? How has it changed? Even now that medicine is developed, it is turning men into women, so how do you turn women into men? Wen Jing asked
Xiao Ru was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and said, "Damn, Wen Jing, you, you...... You're so dirty? ”
Wen Jing made Xiaoru's strange behavior inexplicable, and then thought about what she just said, and then the whole person was not good, she really didn't mean that. Instantly blushing like a tomato, and just about to have a seizure, I found that Xiaoru had already run away.
Then Wen Jing also rushed over, the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain at about ten o'clock in the night, Wen Jing and Xiaoru played all the way, at this time the two stopped when they arrived at the top of the back mountain, and the whole picture of the top of the mountain was presented in front of the two under the illumination of a strong flashlight
The top of the back mountain feels so desolate and lonely for Wen Jing and Xiaoru, because there is only one old locust tree on the top of the entire basketball court-sized mountain, and the old locust tree has died, but the bare trunk and branches are still tenacious
"It's so simple, but there's nothing," Wen Jing said with some disappointment
Wen Jing finished speaking but found that Xiao Ru did not respond to her, but walked straight to the old locust tree, Wen Jing thought that Xiao Ru did not hear, so she also rushed over, when she arrived under the old locust tree found that Xiao Ru actually removed the rotten leaves from the root of the tree, at this time the root of the old locust tree was exposed, and Wen Jing found that there were words on the root, but she was surprised to find that this ...... It's an ancient hieroglyph!
"Xiaoru, how do you know that there are words here? Did the villagers say that? Wen Jing asked Xiaoru
But what made her strange was that Xiaoru didn't answer, but looked intently at the hieroglyphs on the root of the tree
"Xiaoru?"
"Xiaoru?"
Wen Jing shouted several times in a row, but Xiao Ru didn't answer, Wen Jing was a little panicked, she shook Xiao Ru gently
"Woo, roar......" Xiao Ru suddenly raised her head and looked at Wen Jing frantically saying some dialects that Wen Jing couldn't understand at all, and she was surprised to find that Xiao Ru's eyes were closed, and the corners of her eyes were actually crying, her expression was painful, and her expression was sad!
"Xiaoru, Xiaoru, what's wrong with you? I'm Wen Jing, Xiao Ru! Wen Jing suddenly hugged Xiaoru and said loudly
Wen Jing looked at Xiao Ru's sad look and painful expression, and suddenly her heart was pinched, she didn't care about the weirdness and surprise at this time, she hugged Xiao Ru and comforted her as much as possible
I don't know if Wen Jing's comfort worked, Xiao Ru's nonsense stopped, her expression relaxed, and Xiao Ru's eyes opened at the same time
"Huh? Wen Jing, what are you holding me for? Why are you still crying? Xiaoru woke up and found Wen Jing holding her and said
"Ah, you're finally awake, it's great, it's great!" Wen Jing looked very excited, as if she was just scared and helpless, and she was completely gone
Xiao Ru was a little inexplicable, but she suddenly felt something cross her face, she touched it, and found that it was tears, she actually shed tears, Xiao Ru was very confused, she subconsciously bit her finger, suddenly she felt some bitterness, her heart was instantly filled with sadness, she didn't know why, she hugged Wen Jing hard, and muttered in her mouth: "Bitter, bitter taste of life......"
Wen Jing heard it, but at this time she found that Xiaoru hugged her tighter, so she didn't know what to do except pat her shoulder to comfort, silently comforted, hugged each other tightly, comforted each other with a familiar feeling of being familiar with each other, and finally, the night returned to tranquility again
However, the night that had just quieted down became noisy again, and it turned out to be the villagers who rushed to hear the sound, and it was the village chief who took the lead, needless to say, he must have been attracted by Xiao Ru's loud shouting
Wen Jing and Xiaoru separated, both of them were a little embarrassed, after all, the two came here without permission and woke everyone up
The village chief stepped forward and sighed helplessly, he stepped forward and said, "Two young ladies, hey...... This, really! You shouldn't come to the back mountain, let's go, don't doubt it, I'll tell you when you go down! ”
Wen Jing and Xiao Ruben were a little embarrassed, at this time only strange, they wondered what the village chief meant, but they didn't ask much, the group disappeared from the back mountain, leaving behind the withered old locust tree and the roots that were again covered by rotten leaves......
