As soon as I saw this face, the anger in my stomach was extinguished at once. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I stood there and looked at the little girl fixedly.

The little girl pursed her lips and looked at me.

Looking at the little girl's expression, Peng Jiahe on the side was inexplicably silent, not only did not speak, but stood next to me, tilting his head awkwardly.

"I know where Hakuba is!"

"But ......" After a while, the little girl finally spoke, and she looked at me firmly: "You want to know where White Horse Village is, you must tell me the purpose of your search for White Horse Village." ”

It's not an over-the-top request, and there's nothing that can't be said. Immediately, I told the little girl the reason. After speaking, I also gave her the jade plate that Uncle Ghost gave me.

Looking at the jade plaque in my hand, the little girl's face was a little complicated, and she looked at me, as if she had seen something strange

"What's wrong?"

I put away the jade plate, inexplicably, looking at the little girl's face, I was a little uneasy.

"Hakuba Village has long ceased to exist!" The little girl let out a sigh and sighed. Maybe I don't believe it, so I explained.

"The village of Hakuba was destroyed by a fire 50 years ago, and now there is nothing but the wreckage of broken rubble. In fact, the White Horse Slope is on the edge of the White Horse Village, and if you want to get to the White Horse Village, you must pass through the White Horse Slope. But it's a weird place, and no one goes there anymore. ”

"Can you show me there?"

I made my own request.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded under our gaze.

The little girl did not take us directly to White Horse Village, but took us to her house first, fortunately, her house is on the edge of White Horse Village, just along the way, and there is no delay in time.

We first took an hour's drive, then we hurried on our feet, and the more we walked, the more we went into the mountains. Gradually, there were more trees, and there were fewer people, and later, there were no people at all.

The little girl's home is very remote.

How remote it is, so remote that there is no decent way to get to the little girl's house, and in the end, we can only rely on walking.

On the way, we learned the names of the little girl and her younger brother, the little girl's name was Li Zhu'er, and her brother's name was Li Jingfeng.

"Is it almost there?"

Seeing Peng Jiahe far behind, panting violently, unable to walk, and seeing that there was no trace of arrival, I couldn't help asking.

"It's almost there!"

Although Li Zhu'er has good physical strength, because she sometimes carries her younger brother on her back, she is also a little unbearable at this time. She wiped her sweat and said with difficulty.

Jiang Lai lifted the backpack on his back, then took out a bottle of water and handed it to Li Zhu'er: "Why does your family live so remote and so far away?" If you don't have a car, you don't even have a decent road. What about the usual supplies and shopping in your village? ”

I walked to Peng Jiahe's side, helped Peng Jiahe, listened to Jiang Lai's words, and also looked at Li Zhu'er.

"We're all used to it, we've lived in the mountains for generations, and we're reluctant to move out."

Li Zhu'er took the water in Jiang Lai's hand a little embarrassed, handed it to her younger brother to drink it first, and then smiled.

It's just that I felt that her smile was a little bitter.

Li Zhu'er's words are no different from saying or not saying, I know that she is deliberately avoiding them.

Ten minutes later, Li Zhu'er's face slowly began to cheer, and even showed joy, I knew that the destination was almost here.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, a small village appeared in front of us.

This village looks a little old, with black tiles and white walls, bluestone pavement, located between the mountains, it looks quiet and desolate.

I never imagined that there would be such a village in such a big mountain.

However, slowly I saw a clue that this is not so much a village as a large clan village.

The houses in the village are built very closely and exquisitely, and when you look at the past from a distance, it feels like a deep house.

"This is your village?"

Jiang Lai was a little unconvinced, and looked at Li Zhu'er in surprise.

No one would believe it.

You must know that Li Zhuer was still looking for a small clinic to see her brother because of lack of money.

The clothes on her and her brother's bodies, although clean and tidy, looked like obsolete styles at first glance, and they had been worn for a long time.

But now, they live in such a "mansion"!

Li Zhu'er rarely didn't speak, just nodded.

When we walked into the village, we finally realized that something was wrong.

The village is sparsely populated, with a twilight air inside and out, and in one word, desolation.

It was already evening, and it stands to reason that it should be time for cooking, but in the whole village, not a single household lit a cooking cigarette at all.

Li Zhu'er Xu saw our doubts, so she explained: "The young people in the village either go out to work or buy houses in the villages and towns, and there are only a few old people left in the village. ”

Li Zhu'er's words did not make me feel relieved, but made a trace of gloom flash in my heart.

Glancing at this gloomy village, I suddenly felt a pang of discomfort in my body.

"Brother, there's something wrong with this place!"

Jiang Lai leaned over to me, looked at the inside of the village, and said with a slight frown.

"Grandma!"

At this time, the little boy Li Jingfeng suddenly shouted loudly, got off Li Zhu'er's back, and ran forward.

I didn't know when, under a huge stone monument at the entrance of the village, an old man with a rickety man was standing there.

"Huh?"

Looking at the stele, I suddenly let out a light cry of surprise.

The stele at the entrance of the village is huge, three or four meters high, more than two meters wide, the stele is densely carved with small animals, because of the sun and rain, the stele is gray-black, some have been blurred, but some things can still be seen clearly, centipedes, scorpions, toads, snakes, earthworms......

And I was surprised that in the center of the stele there was an embossed horse, immediately holding a man.

This painting is exactly the same as the painting on the jade plate that Uncle Ghost gave me.

Directly above the stele, three words are engraved.

"Dumen Village".

When the old man heard Li Jingfeng's shout, the wrinkles on his face were instantly opened, and he bent down and hugged Li Jingfeng all of a sudden: "Xiaofeng, how are you?!" ”

As he spoke, he touched Li Jingfeng's body with anxiety.

"Grandma, I'm fine!" Li Jingfeng said with a smile.

The old man seemed to be invisible, and his eyes were always closed, but when he heard his grandson say this, he smiled and nodded: "Okay, it's okay!" ”

At this time, Li Zhu'er walked up to the old man and said softly: "Grandma! ”

"Humph!"

The old man's face turned cold at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and his face full of furrows and wrinkles snorted coldly at Li Zhu'er.

Suddenly, the old man's nose twitched, and his face became grim: "You brought people to the village?" ”

The old man's hoarse voice was stern, even vicious.
