Chapter Seventy-Four: A Strange Man

"Isn't this your territory? Why do you want to ask me?" I was a little speechless, and she was too embarrassed to speak.

"How did I know this was the case! Anyway, I don't care, I'm hungry, and you're responsible for feeding me. ”

"......" She started to make trouble without any cushion at all.

"You know anyone here, but I don't know, why don't you go buy something to eat from the people in the village?" I tried to suggest.

"But people are hungry and can't walk, Yu Wei, can you bear to let such a beautiful and lovely girl do such an embarrassing thing?" she stomped her foot angrily, then dragged out her tone and coquettishly squeezed me.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, could I be that thick-skinned person?

"I'm afraid of you, let's go and see if the lights of that family are on!" I surrendered directly to her coquettishness, without the slightest resistance, and my heart was about to be captured by her action.

"Haha, don't grind, I'll clean it up again, you go get some food and come back, it doesn't take too much. ”

She was in a very good mood when she saw me eating deflated, and she smiled and urged.

After telling Zhao Xue a few words, I took the flashlight, the only household appliance that could still be used in the house, and walked out of the door to look for it.

It's already bedtime at this point, so is anyone else on?

I was lucky, and when I got to the middle of the village, I saw that some of the houses were still lit up, so I decided to go to one of them to buy something to eat, so I immediately rushed in the direction.

"Old woman, have you finished it, just plug in the door and turn off the light!" I walked to the door of a house and heard an old man's voice coming from inside.

"Almost, old man, don't forget the rest of our house, it's going to be tight. Soon another grandmother agreed.

I thought that there is no need to be so defensive against thieves, it is simply a comprehensive defense, and it is a bit too cautious, it stands to reason that the countryside is not so chaotic!

After muttering a few words to myself, I knocked politely on the door, thinking about what I had to say.

"Who's knocking on the door?" I knocked as if I had lit a bucket, and both of the men inside shouted in horror.

"Grandparents, open the door, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to ask you for help. Hearing the other party's vigilant answer, I had no choice but to speak patiently.

But after waiting a little for the back door to finally open a small crack, an old man poked in, looked at me, and seemed to see nothing else.

At the same time, I saw that the old man was holding a wood knife for chopping wood, and his expression was very panicked and frightened, and his hand holding the knife was shaking.

"Ahem, uncle, don't get me wrong, I came back to the village with Zhao Xue, do you know Zhao Xue? Because I came back in a hurry, I only brought things to sweep the tomb, not food, and only you were still bright at this time, so I came to disturb and wanted to come over to buy some food to fill my stomach." ”

I couldn't help but be a little shocked by the uncle's toughness, and took a few steps back to explain my situation.

"Xue'er is back?" The old man heard Zhao Xue's name in my mouth, and the nervousness on his face disappeared a little.

Then he came out and looked around, his eyes were looking in the direction of Zhao Xue's house, as if to verify what I said.

"Mmmm, I arrived a few hours ago, but the two of us cleaned up until now for cleaning, only to find that our stomachs were empty. ”

"That's right, then you come in!" He seemed to see the lights on Zhao Xue's house, and finally believed me.

"Old woman, Xue'er has returned to the village, and she seems to be still hungry, so hurry up and put more eggs in the noodles, and send them over. As soon as he entered, he shouted to the back room, and it was then that I saw an old woman slowly come out of the back room.

"Grandparents, don't be too polite, I'll just take it myself, it's easy to fall without lights at night, and I will definitely be happy in my heart." ”

The other party agreed to cook us something for dinner, which made me all grateful, why would I be embarrassed to let such an old man serve us?

I don't have that big shelf!

The old woman nodded at once and went to the next place, and I sat down at the table with the old man and chatted, took out a pack of my own cigarettes, smoked one, and gave him the whole pack.

Originally, he wanted to refuse, but I saw that his teeth were yellow, and he was 100% an old smoking gun, so I insisted on giving it to him as a thank you for the following note.

The two of us lit cigarettes separately, and after swallowing a puff, I opened the topic and took the initiative to say, "Uncle, I want to ask, why are you so nervous just now?"

I was so nervous that when he heard me knock on the door, he used a firewood knife to defend himself, and I naturally began to wonder about the reason inside, which is already a habit and is difficult to break.

"Be quiet, young man, and be careful to be heard, or I'll be out of luck." ”

As soon as he heard my question, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop me from continuing to ask, and warned me not to make too much noise.

"You bastard, why are you still hiding, if you don't tell him the truth, do you want to kill Cher here!

Young man, listen to your grandmother's advice, take her out of here tomorrow morning, and tell her not to come back, this village is very dangerous. ”

Then the old woman appeared with two steaming bowls of noodles and two hard-boiled eggs, and she said worriedly.

"Haven't you told me what happened, what is it that makes you two old people scared?"

When I heard my grandmother's words, I was even more strange, and I didn't understand why.

"Actually, it's very strange, since I can't hide it anymore, then I'll tell you the truth!" the old man made up his mind and planned to tell me the truth.

"Okay, I'll hear you!" I nodded in agreement with some anticipation in my heart.

"Actually, it happened a few days ago, and I still have nightmares every night and can't sleep well...... "Then the old man looked deeply ahead and began to recall what happened before.

The old man's surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang Fugui, and at about nine o'clock that night, there was a knock on the door of his house, and the sound was too loud.

"Bang! bang!"

This made Zhang Fugui very uncomfortable, who was full and had nothing to do, and when he came to knock on his door at night, he casually put on a dress, turned on the light, and got out of bed to see what was going on.

When he reached the door, he shouted, "Who is it?"

But the other party didn't pay attention to him, and he still kept knocking, which looked like there was something urgent.

He began to have a big question mark in his heart......
