Chapter 59 Washing Horse Pond

(The update is delivered, and it will continue tomorrow.) Thank you also for the support of my brother and my friends who are filled with milk, thank you. ）

Ario took us around the village until it was almost dark. As soon as we entered the house, we met Elliott's brother who had just returned home from working outside the farm during the day.

I don't know the name of Ellio's brother, but I think he's a lot older than Elliott, and Ellio is about my age. That's why I just called him brother.

Allou's brother doesn't seem to like people very much, and he seems to have some problems with me and Tao's arrival. At dinner, he looked like he was ignoring us. However, Alho's mother was very enthusiastic and kept beckoning us to eat. Although I still don't understand the dialect she speaks. But it can still be judged from her expression.

After eating, the family sat at the door to cool off. He Tao and I are outsiders, so it's not easy to get involved. So we sat not far away and talked about ourselves.

At first, it was fine, and I could tell from the tone in which they were talking about family life. But it wasn't long before I heard Ellio speak, and his voice was visibly raised. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I could tell from the change in pitch that there was an argument.

I glanced at He Tao, what does it mean, do you want to go over?

He Tao shook his head and smoked a cigarette to himself.

I looked at him, got up and was just about to go over by myself, but Sad and Tao pulled and sat back on the bench.

"What do you mean?" I asked He Tao.

He Tao spat out a puff of cigarette: "Ellio is helping you solve the problem, it's better not to go over now." ”

I was stunned for a moment: "So you can understand?" ”

He Tao threw the cigarette butt at his feet, and then crushed it with his foot: "I can barely understand a little homophony." ”

"So what does this have to do with me?" I asked again.

"Alo's brother doesn't seem to like you."

"Don't like me?" I was stunned again: "Coincidentally, Lao Tzu doesn't like men either." ”

"That's not what I mean," He Tao ignored my joke and continued: "He seems to think you will" At this point He Tao paused, as if thinking about what to say. After a few seconds, He Tao continued, "He seems to think that you will kill them. ”

"Me?" I pointed to myself, then looked at Arius not far away, "Kill them?" ”

"Don't look at me, I don't understand the specifics. That's probably what it means. He Tao said. By this time, Ellio seemed to have had a complete quarrel with his brother, and the noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of other people.

I think they are getting more and more noisy, and I guess if the noise continues, it will be time to roll up their sleeves and start drying. So I thought about it again and went to mediate. Unexpectedly, he was pulled by He Tao again. I looked at He Tao, who shook his head and motioned for me to leave it alone. I shook off his hand and was about to speak, but He Tao said first: "If you really want to know something, don't bother with them." After a pause, he said: "Those who do our business must have an awareness. ”

"What enlightenment?" I asked.

"There's always a price to pay for getting there." He Tao said. As I spoke, I saw him take the cigarette out of his pocket again, and turn his face to the other side with the cigarette in his mouth, not looking at Areho.

The quarrel continues to escalate. After arguing for about ten minutes, I saw Ario bend down and pick up the stool.

I was taken aback, thinking that Ellio was going to his brother on the bench if he didn't agree with him. Hurry up to stop it. Unexpectedly, Ario just walked towards us with a stool, and when he walked next to us, the stool was put on the ground and sat down with us.

I was a little surprised, and my heart said I damn it, it's over. If Ellio does this, his brother will definitely not help us.

He Tao turned his face, saw Alleyo next to him, patted him on the shoulder, and handed the cigarette over.

Ellio turned his face to look at his mother, waved his hand, and said no. Then he turned to look at me: "Brother Cheng, I'll take you there tomorrow." ”

"Go? Where to? I asked.

"Wash the horse pond." Ario said. After saying that, he got up, picked up his stool, turned around and walked into the house, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and said, "You should also rest early, get up early tomorrow, the sun is not so big." Then he went into the house.

I looked at He Tao, only to see him nod, get up and pick up the stool and enter the house.

When I went to bed at night, He Tao saw me putting money under my pillow. Just ask me what I'm doing.

"I feel sorry for their family to quarrel over my business. Make some compensation. As I spoke, I turned off the light function on my phone and lay down on the bed: "And it's so poor here, so I'm going to support poor areas." ”

Hearing me say this, He Tao laughed. I asked him what he was laughing at, and he said, "After so many years of graduating from college, you don't have a long brain." ”

I asked him what he meant, and He Tao said, "The people in this village have almost no contact with the outside world, so what's the use of you giving them money?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and my heart said that it seemed to be right. Then I asked him what he was going to do.

In the darkness, I felt He Tao shake his head and said, "The best way to help them is to give them physical objects." ”

"Food?" I was stunned again: "I see that their food tonight is no worse than my usual meal." ”

“****。” He Tao scolded, turned his back to me and prepared to sleep.

After a while, just when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, I seemed to hear He Tao say a word. It's like there's something else in my car, and I'll take it out and give it to them when I'm leaving.

I didn't listen carefully, scolded him back **** and fell asleep.

Early the next morning. While I was still asleep, I suddenly heard a very faint "buzzing" sound from under my pillow. Before I could realize what it was, I felt a thud on the bed beneath me.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that He Tao was already dressed and ready to go out.

The Flash? I muttered, slowly got up, and then slowly got dressed and walked out.

When I got out of the room, I realized that Ario had everything ready. These things include straw hats, water, food, and more. These things are contained in a large rattan basket.

I looked at the food in the rattan basket and suddenly remembered that He Tao scolded me **** last night. So I stood behind He Tao and whispered a **** to him.

"Let's go, breakfast is on the way." Ario said.

I only noticed him as he spoke. This kid took off his suit and put on the camouflage uniform he used for farm work, and he gave me the feeling of a border guard. It's a pity that there are two more pieces of glass on the window of his soul.

I nodded, and Ellio picked up the scabbard on one side of the table and tied it around his waist as he walked out.

I've seen this kind of scabbard. It is also found in the countryside of Guangxi. It is to use a piece of bamboo, and make a slit along the pattern of the bamboo that you can insert a knife into. This slit is generally as wide as the little finger and varies in length. You can insert many knives at the same time. Farmers often use this scabbard to carry knives when they go up to the mountains to cut firewood.

I won't say much about the journey to Ximatang, but fortunately we got up early, or according to the 378-degree sun, we would have to peel off the sun.

After walking for a morning, we saw the so-called Ximatang on a mountain bag. When we saw the target, we were motivated, and we gritted our teeth and walked for about two hours, until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when we came to the edge of the lake in Ximatang. By this time, I was already going crazy with heat, and the sweat on my body was like an unscrewed faucet. This is really dripping down, without any exaggeration or linguistic embellishment.

But just as I took off my clothes and was about to jump into the lake, Ario stopped me. No matter how hot I tried to explain, he just wouldn't let me go into the water to cool off.
