Chapter 123: My Family......
The village is so remote that the public shuttle stops when it reaches the town ten miles away, and the rest of the road requires an old-fashioned electric bus.
When they arrived in town, it was four or five o'clock in the morning, and it was not yet dawn. There are already some electric buses waiting at the Shuttle station, and when this time comes out, the price they ask for is of course much higher than usual. Chen Wansheng talked about the price angrily for a while, but he didn't negotiate, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't sit down, let's go back!" ”
This momentum has the momentum of saying that it would not be sold at the door of the store.
Along the way, Shu Yu was already a little helpless with this old man, and he had already made up his mind to do what the other party said, and get out of the way at the destination as soon as possible. So there was no refutation at all at this time, and as soon as the big bag was carried out, he followed.
They sold the grain and bought a lot of things in Luogui Harbor, including farm tools, daily necessities, and a small amount of seafood. These things were piled on top of each other, and all three of them felt like they were carrying a hill on their backs.
After walking for a while, Shu Yu glanced at the old man, sighed, took his big bag, and said, "You are not young, be careful to flash your waist, or let me come." ”
The old man glared at him and said noisily, "Who said that I am old, my farm work is one of the best in the village!" Sharper than the boys! ”
Shu Yu raised his eyebrows, returned the bag to him and said, "Then return you." ”
The old man really jumped back, blew his beard and glared at him: "Do you understand respecting the old and respecting the virtuous?" It takes a long time to carry a bag! ”
Shu Yu rolled his eyes and didn't bother to speak.
Shu Yu's physical fitness is extraordinary, and the old man and the yellow-haired boy are also used to this road, and the three of them are very fast.
Sure enough, as Shu Yu thought, they went further and further, and the cement road that was originally repaired gradually turned into a stone road, followed by a genuine dirt road. After walking for an hour, they began to climb the mountain. The old and young peasants didn't speak, Shu Yu glanced into the distance and said, "This way...... Electric buses can't get in, right? ”
The old man reprimanded: "You dislike our village too much? ”
The yellow-haired boy hurriedly interrupted and hurriedly said, "Usually we take an electric bus to the intersection, and then climb a few mountains to get there." The road is not difficult to walk, but it is a little hard to carry a bag, but fortunately, this time there is Big Brother Lan to help. Speaking of which, Brother Lan, you have so much strength! ”
Climb a few mountains...... Shu Yu looked up at the mountain in front of him and asked, "Why do you live in such a remote place?" It's inconvenient, it's not convenient for anything, right? ”
The yellow-haired boy was puzzled and justified: "My home is in the mountains, why don't you live in your own home?" ”
Home......
The old man climbed the mountain empty-handed, but he walked like a fly. He smoked a dry cigarette again, and then said leisurely: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own kennel!" Boy, what is your home like? ”
My home......
Shu Yu's consciousness was a little hazy, and he couldn't help but recall the town where he lived from birth until he was six years old. It's a gathering place for the non-evolutionary, for the luckier group of the non-evolutionary......
Luck means that they don't need to be involved in dangerous work, but their lives are still very hard. The resources they receive are barely enough to survive and nothing they can afford to enjoy.
A piece of clothing, if the big child can't wear it, leave it for the little one, patch it when it's broken, make up for it so that it can't be worn, and sew it into a cushion and a sheet or something to continue to use. You can only eat one or two meals of meat a month, and there are still only oil stars in the adults' bowls, and the children can only taste two or three slices.
This kind of day is much worse than what I was in school later.
Even so, only joy and happiness remain in the heart. Children are so easily satisfied, satisfied with the toys they can find everywhere, satisfied with the slightest change in their lives, satisfied with the gentle smiles of their parents......
Shu Yu's face unconsciously showed a smile, it was a happy and nostalgic smile. He couldn't help but open his mouth and said slowly, "My home ......"
Over a mountain, another mountain, another mountain...... After three hours, the old man finally spoke, "Go down to the village." Shu Yu came back to his senses and found that he had been talking for a long time. It turns out that the memories of my childhood are so profound, and the memories are so colorful.
The old man's face became much calmer, he raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and said, "It's dawn......
The sun had risen high, and the autumn sun was shining downward, shining down on the entire mountain and the village below. The village is located in a small hill col, small in size, surrounded by various crops, and terraced fields are ploughed out of the hills. Now that the crops have been harvested, only the stubble left in the fields is the finished grain, and the flat terraces reflect the blue sky, empty and far away. In the village below, there are piles of rice that have not yet been harvested, and there is a bumper harvest everywhere.
The most striking thing is that there is a large tree at the entrance of the village, about the thickness of five people hugging each other, and its palm-shaped leaves extend outward along the branches, spreading a large area of green shade, directly pressing against the low roof.
Shu Yu's eyes lit up, he had never seen such a big tree. And the empty heaven and earth and the fields also made him feel relaxed and happy. The yellow-haired boy Zhao Xiaonong saw that he was about to arrive home, and said happily: "Look, this is our village!" It's beautiful, it's not worse than yours! ”
He always wants to pretend to be less rustic outside, and he imitates the appearance of people in the city when he speaks and acts, but at this time, he is also me, full of local atmosphere.
Chen Wansheng's expression was also very relaxed, he knocked the cigarette ash casually, inserted the dry tobacco pouch into his belt, and stretched his waist comfortably.
Before he could stretch his waist, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, and his face suddenly changed!
Zhao Xiaonong was still talking to Shu Yu stupidly, but Shu Yu obviously felt the change in the atmosphere around him, and looked at Chen Wansheng suspiciously.
Suddenly, Chen Wansheng spread his feet and rushed towards the village!
Zhao Xiaonong stayed where he was stupidly, and Shu Yu immediately followed closely behind Chen Wansheng.
Chen Wansheng rushed to the village and opened the door of the family, but there was no one!
He didn't stop, and flashed to the door of the other house, but there was still no one!
Shu Yu was surprised to find that he couldn't keep up with the old peasant's movements even with all his might. The old farmer had already checked several houses before he went to the tree at the entrance of the village.
Moreover, Chen Wansheng's actions also reminded him that there was no one in the village.
He had already noticed that there was no one in the grain field, but he didn't know the working habits of the peasants, so he didn't pay much attention to it. At this point, it was obvious that not only was there no one outside, but the house was also empty. The huge mountain village was deserted, and it was as silent as a dead place!
Chen Wansheng flipped through several houses, and his face showed obvious panic. He calmed down a little, stood still, and suddenly strode to the back of the house, pulled out a person, and asked, "Xiao Ning, what's going on?!" ”
It's not that he said it, Shu Yu didn't notice that there were people there at all. This person shrunk into a ball, his whole body was covered with mud, and even his face was completely painted, and it was rare for Chen Wansheng to recognize his identity.
Hearing Chen Wansheng's question, he shrank and slowly raised his head, and when he saw Chen Wansheng, his face immediately showed ecstasy, and the clods of soil that he had killed fell down in pieces. He hugged Chen Wansheng's leg and cried loudly: "Old, old man, you are finally back!" ”
There was a residual palpitation in his voice, the previous one was so thick, and now the surprise came so suddenly that his crying voice was completely hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been torn.
Zhao Xiaonong ran forward out of breath, looked at this person again and again, and then exclaimed: "Uncle Ning!" You, what's wrong with you? What about the people in the village? ”
The man surnamed Ning hugged Chen Wansheng's thigh and said incoherently: "Go back, come back, just come back!" The village is saved, saved! ”
Chen Wansheng pulled him to stand firmly, his face was serious: "Xiao Ning, calm down!" What happened, and what about the people in the village? ”
The man surnamed Ning swallowed hard, and said in a dry voice: "Village, the people in the village are fine, and now they are fine...... It's good that the old man is back, otherwise ......"
He pointed to the sky and said, "Ago, two days ago, a big spaceship suddenly came over there!" From somewhere else! ”
Chen Wansheng's eyes were like lightning, and he looked over there, which was exactly the direction he was looking at on the village entrance road before.
Shu Yu also squinted his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, he saw a vague shadow, as if it was a large dark cloud, pressing heavily on the horizon. Shu Yu's eyesight was much better than normal, and when he looked closely, he found that it was a floating island.
Shu Yu had seen such an island in a magazine, it was actually a metal structure, and the basic principle was similar to that of an airboat, but it mainly operated in the atmosphere, and was usually offered to the wealthy as a mobile villa in the air. It is very self-contained, with houses and gardens on it, and generally a shuttle landing and landing field. There are some large floating islands that are literally a separate town.
Most floating islands have defensive shields and some offensive weapons, which can be regarded as a small fortress that integrates attack and defense. If it weren't for the fact that fighting in the atmosphere was no longer the main body of war, such floating islands might have played a more important role.
From a distance, this floating island is not so luxurious, it is the size of an ordinary villa, but it is also very strange to appear here.
The man surnamed Ning looked at the floating island, and he was still shocked: "Old man, not long after you and the small farmer left, the big spaceship came over, and there were many small spaceships on it!" ”
Zhao Xiaonong interjected and said, "Rich people come to travel, right?" Hasn't it been before? ”
The man surnamed Ning looked at him angrily and said, "Nonsense! ”
He made up his mind and said, "At first we didn't pay attention to it, but ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly appeared, completely muffling the words behind him. The scream came from the sky, like a fingertip cutting through glass, piercing and unpleasant. Zhao Xiaonong quickly covered his ears.
