Chapter 46: Stone Village (1)

"We're going to spend the night there tonight."

Yang Shujun told us that he was not as 'advanced' as we were, and that he had tents and so much good food. Yang Shujun entered the mountain but brought a pot of water, a few cold steamed buns, and a few pickled cucumbers if he was a little extravagant. With stop-and-go like this, and the delay, it would take at least two days to get to the place where his uncle was 'exiled'...

After lunch, we rested for more than an hour to replenish our sleep. Except for Xiaoqing, none of us slept well last night. However, when we packed up and prepared to go on the road, it was Xiaoqing who was the hardest to wake up. It was easy to call her up, and after walking a long distance on the road, she was still confused, and she looked like she was awake but not awake.

"Hey, it's snowing!" I yelled.

Xiaoqing was so frightened by me that she looked around with wide eyes, and patted me on the back, Ah Leng, you bastard, how can it snow!

I glanced at Miss Bai with tears and laughter, and Miss Bai smiled and glared at me.

The mountain road was very difficult to walk, and we did not come to the village that Yang Shujun had talked about until it was dark.

The village was located in a valley, so hidden that it was impossible to see from the outside, and had to be circumnavigated through a dense forest. I thought to myself that the reason why the Eighth Route Army was stationed here back then should be because it was relatively hidden.

was already sleepy and tired, but when they heard Yang Shujun say the place, everyone cheered up. However, when we went around the jungle and saw the village, we couldn't help but be disappointed. Along the way, listening to Yang Shujun's comparisons and praises, I thought it was a paradise-like fairyland. However, the village in front of me is dilapidated and old, but a veritable stone village.

Almost all the houses were made of stone, and in the twilight, they were extremely irregular, some of them were built on cliffs in the middle of the mountain, and most of them looked uninhabited and had long since collapsed.

"Uncle Cousin, what a place this is, it's a shame that you boast so well here." Xiaoqing muttered.

"Hey, you don't understand." Yang Shujun smiled, "How quiet it is here, how good the air is." ”

I sniffled vigorously, the air was good, but it looked a little too desolate.

"Let's go, let's spend the night."

Yang Shujun rubbed his hands excitedly and led us towards the village.

Winding up a bluestone path, we came to a courtyard perched on a mountain cliff. The fence door was closed, and the room in the courtyard was dimly lit.

"Is anyone home? Yang Shujun shouted and pushed the door.

After a while, a man came out of the house with an oil lamp. When we opened the door, the man looked at us nervously, and under the light, I saw that he was about fifty years old, and his face was black and red.

"Big brother, don't you know me? I'm a book army! Yang Shujun said with a smile.

The man swallowed nervously, and the oil lamp almost stuck to Yang Shujun's face, and Yang Shujun's smiling face looked more and more obscene under the light.

The man stared at Yang Shujun's face up and down for a long time, wiped his sweat, smiled, and said in a thick mountain accent: "Who do I think it is, it turned out to be you..."

We stood impatiently aside, listening to Yang Shujun and the man's constant approach. It seems that Yang Shujun used to come to this village to stay at his house. I don't know why, I feel that Yang Shujun is a little incomprehensible when he talks to this person, and looks into the room from time to time.

Finally, when they were almost done, the man beckoned to us, "Come in, come in..."

As soon as he entered the house, before the man could open his mouth to let us sit, Yang Shujun couldn't wait to say, "Big brother, do you still have cured meat at home?" ”

Only then did I know why he was so excited when he went to the village first, and he ate the cured meat together...

The cured meat tasted good, but it was a little salty, and Yang Shujun was full of praise for it, and he couldn't wait to swallow his tongue. We stayed here that night. There was only one man living in the house, and there were only two rooms in the house, and the four of us young people could only share one room. Miss Bai and Xiaoqing slept on the stone bed, and I laid hay with Xiangfeng on the floor.

I don't know why, I lay on the ground without any sleep, and my heart was shrouded in an indescribable annoyance, but mixed with an inexplicable feeling. Suddenly, I heard someone on the bed snort softly, it was Miss Bai, and it seemed that she was not asleep either.

In the second half of the night, it started to rain. Listening to the sound of the 'tick-tock' rain, my mind gradually calmed down, and I felt as if I had come to an ancient time far away from the world, living in the barren mountains and forests. In a daze, I saw the Morning Star, and I was excited to get closer to her, but she was getting farther and farther away from me, and just as I was about to scream, the Morning Star suddenly ran towards me and threw herself into my arms. However, when I looked down, I realized that the person in my arms was not Morning Star at all, but Miss Bai...

I was woken up early the next morning, and I heard Xiaoqing yelling outside, come and see, come and see!

As soon as I stepped out the door, I was blown away by what I saw. I saw a huge rainbow hanging in the sky opposite, colorful and flowing, as if there were countless beating notes constantly swimming on it.

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful!" I shouted at Miss Bai, "Yuxin, hurry, go get your camera!" ”

Only then did Miss Bai react, took her camera, and shot at the sky. It wasn't until ten o'clock at breakfast that the rainbow faded away.

After breakfast, we decided to continue on our way. I said in my heart, we eat and live here, and we have to give something in return. However, no matter how hard I tried to shove, the man just wouldn't ask for money.

"Then let's do it, uncle, we have jerky in our bag, as well as Shandong specialties, and leave some for you." After speaking, I pointed to the corner of the wall and said to Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqingzi, go and get two roast chickens in my bag and leave them for my uncle..."

The man had to excuse himself, and I said that the souvenir was worthless, and he had to take it and taste it.

Xiaoqing clumsily opened the bag, took out the roast chicken, and accidentally brought out the photo frame, which fell to the ground with a 'snap'.

"Oops, I'm sorry, Ah Leng."

Xiaoqing leaned down to pick it up, and my heart suddenly moved.

"Wait a minute."

I picked up the picture frame and handed it to the man, "Uncle, take a look, do you know these people in the photo?" ”

The man looked up and down, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, "Oh, this, this is our village!" ”

"yes, where do they live?"

"They... They're all dead..."

"Dead?" I frowned, "How did you die?" ”

"Burned..."

"Burned? Are they all burned to death? I asked, surprised.

The man nodded, and told me that their village had no electricity because of its remoteness. With the advent of reform and opening up, from the late eighties, people in the mountains began to move out in 66 years. Now, there are only one or twenty families left in the village. Except for some old people who love their roots, there are people like him who are single and have never seen the world, who are timid and afraid of life, and who can't integrate into the new world. There are also some lazy and lazy men, who have no ability, and the person who laughs like a monkey in the photo is one of them, and his nickname is Ergouzi.

Although Ergouzi is lazy to eat, he has a diligent and beautiful sister. When his sister grew up to be of marriageable age, Ergouzi's parents married his sister to a village 100 miles away from Stone Village by way of changing relatives. changed the second dog for a wife, that is, the woman holding the child in the photo.

On the day of her marriage, Ergouzi's sister cried to death and knelt at home and refused to leave, because she was going to marry a very old disabled person. In the end, the girl was beaten out with a stick by Ergouzi and his parents, and several men who came to greet her were forcibly taken away. The girl had not been back since she had been married.

And the woman who married Ergouzi did not enjoy a day of happiness. Ergouzi's parents thought that after getting a daughter-in-law for their son and making him a family, he would change his ways and go out to work like others to make money to support his family.

When he first got married, the second dog did seem to be a different person, he went out to work with others, and came back half a year later to bring back a lot of fashionable clothes. However, he went out again and came back less than a month later, and then he refused to go again, he was angry and bitter. Drinking at home every day, beating his wife when he is drunk, and sometimes even beating his parents. Every year, most of the little grain produced in the terraces is taken by Ergouzi to exchange for wine and drink. The family lived in a broken stone house left by their ancestors, and they ate the last meal but did not have the next.

Ergouzi's wife resisted when she was beaten at first, and then she gradually got used to it, and she accepted it, and gave birth to a son to Ergouzi. The birth of a son did not make the second dog change sex, but intensified. The child grew up in the shadow of domestic violence, he was very sensible, and the old people in the village liked him. Everyone said that a beast like Ergouzi actually had such a good son, and God really treated him well.

At the end of the 90s, with the boom of tourism, many people began to get tired of those crowded tourist resorts, and liked to travel and explore in the barren mountains and mountains. One day, four girls came to Stone Village who traveled to Taihang Mountain and came to stay overnight. One of them lived in Ergouzi's house and was raped by Ergouzi when he was drunk. Ergouzi's wife and his parents watched Ergouzi do whatever he wanted, and no one dared to step forward to stop him. If it weren't for the fact that the kid finally picked up a broken bowl and smashed it on the bare ass of the second dog, the girl might have been strangled to death by him...
