"Anyway, it's not very comfortable for you to sit in this car, you see my ass is numb. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Luan Xin said reluctantly. Ji Shang gave him a blank look. said: "More than 300 kilometers, what's the matter, it's comfortable to run with us." ”

"Okay, it's already here anyway, let's find a place to settle down first." I hurriedly made a round, and Jing Liyan stood in the middle of the road. Some wondered: "You all came to see, it's only morning, why is there no one on the street?" ”

"It's a bit strange for you to say that." Ji Shangwu walked to his side. "I think it's a deserted village." Luan Xin pointed to a piece of farmland not far away, "It looks like no one has been plowing the land for decades, and the grass is probably up to my shoulder." ”

"I don't think so," Xiao Si said from the other end, "There are still crops of nearly an acre of land in front, and it looks like the city is well defended." ”

"Where? Where? Jing Liyan jumped over, followed Xiao Si's gaze for a while, and then became a little excited: "Look, there is corn in that field, and it can be picked in these two days, let's come at a good time, let the fellow take us to have a good meal, do you say you will kill a chicken for us." ”

I shook my head and followed Ji Shangwu into the village, Jing Liyan was bored with himself, followed us, and picked a few dog's tail grass in his mouth.

The further you go inside, the more you feel that this is a deserted village, and the surrounding courtyard walls have long been in a panic, and several crumbling black wooden doors hang in the center of each house, as if they will fall down at the slightest touch. Xiao Si said: "These houses are all empty, but there are four families in the far west, and it seems that they are the only remaining residents here." ”

"The only remaining occupants?" Luan Xin was a little puzzled, and Jing Liyan added: "Maybe there have been some natural disasters here, or other deadly factors, forcing these people to leave." ”

Ji Shangwu shook his head: "If you understand it like this, then why are there still villagers in the village?" I nodded, "Yes, I think the villagers are all dead." The four looked at me with horrified expressions, "Just kidding." "I was a little embarrassed to touch my head.

Jing Liyan suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Hey, fellow." After speaking, he stepped forward quickly, stopped the middle-aged man with a hoe, and a few of us followed closely, and then he said: "Hello fellow, a few of us are from other places, and we happen to be passing by here, so we want to rest here for a few days, do you see where there is a place to rest near here?" He deliberately avoided the word deserted village, after all, it is better to be cautious if you are not familiar with the local customs.

The fellow looked at us vigilantly and said, "Those who come from other places should indeed be treated well according to the number of courtesies, but ...... We have a sparsely populated area, so let's ask a few others to find another place. ”

Jing Liyan did not relent: "Fellow, you all know that it is not easy to go out, you can see what other villages are in this realm, so you can make it convenient for us to rest for a few days." With that, he took out a pack of cigarettes and put it in the man's pocket, and a few of us immediately echoed a few words. The middle-aged man said with an embarrassed face: "This, it's better to be like this, a few of you go back with me, I'll ask the elders in the family, after all, what my junior said doesn't count, do you think it's okay?" ”

I took a few steps forward and said, "That's how it should be, everyone has difficulties." Then we followed the middle-aged man who looked like a farmer to the door of a low bungalow, and he said, "There is no way, the family has no money, so we can only grieve a few people." ”

"That's good enough." Ji Shang said with a smile. Pushing open the door, inside is a huge yard, next to a few potted plants, the chicken coop is on the far left, on the right is a pile of straw, two rattan chairs are placed on one side, and in front is a small coffee table.

Pushing open the door of the inner room, facing a table of eight immortals, the man waited for a while, and then entered a room, after a while, there was a child's cry, an old man's dry cough, and then the middle-aged man helped an old man with a wrinkled face to come out, sat on a chair, followed by a child's head poked out, and then was pulled back by a dry hand full of age spots.

The old man glanced at us, and then said: "A few of them are guests from afar, and it is not easy, so let your daughter-in-law cook two dishes and treat a few of them well." The middle-aged man who had brought us arched his hand and walked out of the room, and a few of us sat down. The old man shook his head, and when he wanted to speak, I smiled slightly, and said, "Old man, if you have any difficulties, you might as well say it, and let's see if there is anything we can help you." ”

"Yes, old man, tell me, we are not hypocritical people, we can help if we can." Luan Xinhan said with a smile.

After Luan Xin finished speaking, the old man said: "We have a vast and sparsely populated area, and there are only two or three of us left, relying on these few acres of thin land outside to support us. ”

"Oh?" Ji is still a little puzzled, "Why is this the boundary of this land by the Yellow River, and you all have young and strong strength in your family, why don't you go fishing, as the saying goes, you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft the water." ”

The old man's brows furrowed even tighter: "It is precisely because of the fish in the water of the Yellow River that we ended up like this, originally we had a good wind and rain here, and every family was happy, but because of that time, we had hundreds of families in the whole village, and we were left overnight." ”

"Why is that?" I was puzzled, and the old man sighed: "It's all our own sin." Ji Shangwu shook his head: "Old man, just now you said that the Yellow River water harmed your whole village, so why do you say that it is your own sin, I'm afraid it's a bit contradictory." Xiao Si said again: "Could it be that the Yellow River burst its banks because of improper management?" "A few of us still agree with this statement.

The old man shook his head: "No, it's because we caught fish and angered the Dragon King of the Yellow River, and then it evolved into what it is today." ”

"The Dragon King of the Yellow River?" I said to myself.

Jing Liyan shook his head and said, "Is it because you have caught too much fish, or have you caught something terrible." As soon as this sentence came out, the old man was shocked: "This ...... Alas, yes, it's all our making. Several of us were also a little shocked, and Ji Shang said, "What did you catch?" ”

At this time, Chongyuan came in from the courtyard with two pots of wine and said, "Wang Ba." (To be continued.) )
