Chapter 48: Zhoufeng Village
The car stopped in a small, run-down county town.
Statement found a stall with Qiu Qian and Xia Yun and had breakfast. stated that they asked for a bowl of noodles and a bowl of wontons, Qiu Qian and Xia Yun ordered millet porridge and divided it into two portions, and added a few side dishes.
While eating, he took his mobile phone and looked at a circle of friends that frog posted a few years ago. The photo is very simple, it is a table of barbecue and wine, with the text "Is there anything you want to come out to drink?" ”
The point is that you can see a signboard in the photo that reads "Yu Ji Sauce Duck".
"Boss, is this place in the county seat?"
When the owner of the breakfast stall served another plate of side dishes, the statement asked him.
"Yes, it's the night market over there, but this sauce duck shop closed last year."
"Then do you know Zhoufeng Village?"
"I don't know, the village is too far away."
"Thank you."
The statement turned his head again, and saw Xia Yun taking a spoon and snatching a wonton from his bowl.
"I'll taste yours." She smiled slightly, her eyes crooked, and she looked very happy.
She had become more and more natural, as if the statement was her boyfriend.
There are some things that I want to make clear to her, but Qiu Qian has always been by her side, so she doesn't have a chance.
This psychiatrist claims to be good at observing people's minds, but he can't even see that he doesn't like her.
At this level, I probably relied on eating and drinking to survive and not starve to death until now.
After eating, he stated that he was not in a hurry to set off for Zhoufeng Village, but found a shoe store that had just opened and bought a pair of shoes.
He stood on the side of the road with his shoes and waited for a while, and saw a migrant worker in old clothes passing by with a toolbox, so he stepped forward and asked, "This big brother, can I take these shoes and change them with yours?" ”
"What are you doing?" The migrant worker was a little defensive, "I don't have any money, I still have to work." ”
"No money, can I trade this new pair of shoes for yours?" The statement turned back and pointed to the shoe store, and said, "If it doesn't fit, you can go and change the size......"
A pair of broken shoes arrived, and they set off for Panfengshu.
Driving through a winding road, the car turned into a dirt road.
The statement has never driven on such a potholed road, the car was bumpy, and Qiu Qian and Xia Yun both felt motion sickness.
After driving for nearly two hours, the car slowly stopped.
On the right side of the dirt road, there is a trail up the hill that leads to Zhoufeng Village, and the car can no longer drive up.
"Let's go." Park your car in an unobtrusive open space and state to get out of the car.
He slung his bag and lifted the broken shoes from the back of his shoes.
The three of them began to walk towards the mountain road.
"There's nothing wrong with navigation, right? There is no road in this village. ”
"Pinglan is very poor, and Zhoufeng Village is even poorer......"
Fortunately, when they came out this time, Qiu Qian and Xia Yun were both wearing sneakers, and they were not as difficult as last time.
But after walking for more than 40 minutes, they still felt a little tired. The statement had to take off his coat and let Xia Yun pull it, and Xia Yun pulled Qiu Qian.
Qiu Qian made a joke: "Just like us, if we want to catch the kidnappers, I'm afraid that we will be kidnapped by the kidnappers again." ”
"Tying up the statement again will save us, right?"
Xia Yun pulled the coat of the statement, and from time to time grabbed his hand a little forward, and then a little further.
It wasn't until there was only a short half centimeter between the two hands that she smiled happily and hummed softly.
"When the sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me......"
The sound is good.
After walking for a long time, the mountain road gradually flattened out, and after a bend, a small stream appeared in front of it, and the water was gurgling and very clear.
The three of them pulled one by one, walked across the stone bridge, and Zhoufeng Village slowly appeared in front of them.
The whole village was quiet, with a sense of twilight and gloom.
There were seven or eight old people basking in the sun and twisting tea on the stone pier at the entrance of the village, chatting in an incomprehensible local dialect.
Seeing someone entering the village, the old people looked up at the three of them one after another, and their eyes were very serious.
The three of them were not used to being looked at like this, and they all felt a little unaccustomed.
Then an old woman, whose teeth had been lost, got up and took a few steps forward, squinting, as if trying to see more clearly, and asked others something in the vernacular as she looked.
Although I couldn't understand the statement, I probably knew that the old woman was asking whose child it was.
A group of old people said again in an admiring tone, probably saying that the young man is really handsome, and the two girls are so beautiful......
The statement could not communicate with them, so he nodded politely and walked back to the village.
Along the way, the houses are all muddy mud houses, all with open doors, and most of the people living in the village are only old people, and they are deserted.
There were not many people in this place, and they discussed it, not only worried that asking the frog directly would alarm each other, but they also did not know if the frog had returned. So plan to stay one night and find someone to understand the situation first.
Occasionally, a middle-aged woman could be seen washing vegetables at home, so Qiu Qian went up and said that she was here to travel and take pictures, and asked if she could eat and stay overnight.
Although she took out the money, she was rejected by the two women in a row. One said that he couldn't understand her, and the other was that it was inconvenient for the elderly at home, and he thought that they were not easy to serve in the city.
I found a third home and met a fat woman in her forties who was very enthusiastic.
"Yes." The fat woman picked up her apron and wiped her hands, took the money in Qiu Qian's hand, and said with a smile: "Our Zhoufeng Village has beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are many scenery on the mountain that can be photographed." It's just that my cooking is unpalatable, and I don't have any dishes, so it's good if you don't dislike it. ”
Speaking of this, she remembered, pinched the money in her hand with some embarrassment, and said, "But I only have one room." ”
"Let them sleep in a room, and make a bunk for me to sleep in this hall." stated.
"That's good, that's good. What is your relationship? ”
Xia Yun wanted to speak, but hurriedly responded: "It's a colleague from the newspaper." ”
"Are the children of the newspaper so beautiful now? By the way, you can just call me Sister Yang......"
After putting the bag away, the statement took out the pair of broken shoes again, and asked Sister Yang, "Is there a place to mend shoes in this village?" ”
"Ouch, why do you still have such broken shoes?"
"I wore it when I went up the mountain to take pictures." stated: "Sister Yang, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am very poor." ”
"I don't know if Old Man Lai went up the mountain today. Well, I'll take you over to mend your shoes after dinner. ”
"Okay."
The statement was not in a hurry, nodded in response, and sat on the bench behind the stove to help light the fire, chatting with Sister Yang. Xia Yun came to him and sat down, playing with the ashes with the iron tongs. Qiu Qian was a little tired and sat down next to Xia Yun.
"Is Sister Yang a local?"
Sister Yang stood in front of the big iron pot and stir-fried vegetables, and when she asked this sentence, she said endlessly.
"I've been married to this village for 25 years, my man went to the city to work, my mother-in-law is over 70 years old, she is lying in that room, she can't walk, I stay at home to take care of her, otherwise I will go to the city with a man......"
"Then did the old man Lai you mentioned just now mend his shoes? Do you want to go up the mountain? ”
The statement redirects the conversation back to Frog's grandfather......
