Skirting the reeds from the edge of the lake, a small peninsula emerges deep into the lake.

The rows of houses, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, coupled with the ethereal cooking smoke and the returning farmers, are like a paradise painting.

"It's here, this is our Baihua Village!" Brother Zhao pointed to the peninsula and said with a smile.

Along the way, Zhang Xuebing has made the three little girls who are not deeply involved in the world clear in a few words.

The surname of the servant is Hua is a sister, and the tallest is the second child, called Zhao Brother.

The slightly chubby one is called the third brother.

The shortest is the fourth sister called Nian Di.

They also have an older sister who is in high school this year called Lai Brother.

Don't think it's strange that in rural areas, there are no boys in the family, and girls born are usually given this kind of name, because the elders want boys to pass on the family lineage.

This kind of obsession is not unusual, even in the metropolis thirty years later, there are many people, not a few.

There are many people with the surname Hua in the opposite village, which was originally called Huajia Village, and was later named Baihua Village by a Jinshi of this village a hundred years ago, which sounds quite poetic and picturesque.

Baihua Village is built near the water, backed by the mountains, and can pick lotus, dig lotus roots, fish, and farm, hunt, and collect medicine.

Coupled with the scenery of lakes and mountains, and the flowers of the four seasons, it looks like a paradise in the world.

Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how unfair God is, if Zhangjia Village is built here, why do the people in the village have to work so hard, and there will be a few talents in hundreds of years.

Nian Di is the youngest and the most able to say, he has not been idle all the way, and most of the situation in the village has been revealed by her.

can have such an innocent girl, it is conceivable that the villagers in this village must be very simple and down-to-earth.

"Hey, Zhang Xuebing, don't lie anymore when you enter the village, brother and sister, haven't you seen anyone who escaped marriage? There are several pairs in our village, but I can't find them yet! Brother Nian said in a loud voice, constantly glancing at Zhang Xuebing with his white eyes.

"Yes, definitely, I also feel ashamed to say that, but I didn't mean to lie!" Zhang Xuebing raised his hand and posed as a devil surrendering, explaining again and again.

Everyone walked through the narrow land, and the front gradually widened, and several tall stone archways appeared in front, covering the entrance of the village.

This kind of archway generally has two functions, one is to commend the reward, the other is to show the filial piety, for example, there are people in the village who are in the village and the first, or there are women and martyrs, and they will be allocated by the local government to build one.

It can also be seen from this that this Baihua Village does have historical heritage and cultural heritage.

"Brother Zhao, look at this fish ......"

A few people just bypassed the archway, the entrance of the village was in sight, and a hairy boy of fifteen or sixteen came to him, and he ran over with his teeth, carrying a big carp in his hand, shaking it in his hand as if showing off.

Brother Nian laughed and said, "Wow, what a big fish, you caught the hook?" ”

The hairy boy pouted his chin and said proudly, "Ang, I went with my father to pick lotus flowers, and this guy jumped up directly......"

Brother Zhao didn't seem to have the heart to listen to the other party's achievements, and reached out to pick up the aquatic plants that pierced the fish.

"It's just right, there is a guest at home tonight, boiled cakes and fish soup, you let my uncle come too!"

After the fish hook left, Nian Di explained to Zhang Xuebing, "He is my cousin, his surname is Yu, his nickname is Gouzi, and his nickname is Fish Hook!" ”

Along the way, Zhang Xuebing found that the chickens and dogs in the village smell each other, and the neighbors are harmonious, which is really comparable to the peach blossom paradise written by Mr. Tao.

"Dad, Mom, we're back from collecting medicine......"

"And bring two guests!"

"The hook was returned to the big carp!"

The little sisters said a word to each other, and the voice like a silver bell lingered in their ears.

In front of him was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence wall made of reeds, and three or four earthen tile houses were located in the courtyard.

The walls are hung with red peppers, yellow corn, bunches of sweet potatoes, chickens and ducks on the ground, and local dogs are running, and the whole yard exudes a strong local atmosphere.

Without waiting for someone to echo inside, Brother Zhao pushed open the fence door and smiled sweetly at Zhang Xuebing and the others, "Let's get home, go in quickly!" ”

Xiao Chenchen looked around with a curious gaze, secretly wondering if this little girl was a wolf into the room?

Brother Zhao led the two into the hall in front and let them sit casually.

The other two girls went to put together the herbs they had gathered.

At this time, footsteps sounded, and a man in his early thirties came in from behind the house, and said angrily.

"Whose guest is here?"

He should be Hua Weidong, the father of the younger brothers, a name with the characteristics of the times.

When the head of the family came, Zhang Xuebing and Xiao Chenchen hurriedly got up to say hello.

Hua Weidong was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at his little daughter, "This is?" Brother Nian hurriedly said, "They escaped from marriage, and I met my sister and wanted to stay with them for one night!" ”

Hua Weidong grinned at Zhang and Xiao, and pulled his daughter out of the hall.

"Girl, why are you leading unknown people into the house!"

Brother Zhao, who was drying herbs on the side, raised his head and said, "Dad, don't talk about her, this is a few of us looking at them pitifully, and they don't look like bad people, what are you afraid of if you stay overnight and leave tomorrow, it's a big deal for me to eat less!" ”

Hua Weidong stomped his foot, "Hey, I don't care about a bite to eat, I'm afraid of recruiting bad people, people are getting worse and worse these years!" ”

At this moment, a rapid cough came from a room in the backyard, and then a woman in her thirties walked out of the door and said anxiously.

"Oh, have you picked the herbs, don't hurry up, cook them for the old man!"

There was a sick person at home, and Hua Weidong didn't have the heart to talk about his daughter anymore, so he hurriedly bent down to select herbs in the basket.

After a while, the strong smell of herbs wafted in the small courtyard, and Hua Weidong and his family were busy decocting medicine and serving the old man.

The sisters were preparing dinner separately, but no one paid attention to Zhang Xuebing and the others anymore.

"What are we going to do, just poke here?"

Xiao Chenchen asked with a bitter face.

Zhang Xuebing shrugged his shoulders in a chic manner, "If you come, you will be safe, be patient, find a way to find the phone, and it will be easy to do when the time comes!" ”

The smell of medicine in the courtyard mixed with the smell of fish soup wafted into the hall, and the hungry two people swallowed saliva involuntarily.

No anti-theft

The two looked at each other and smiled awkwardly, Xiao Chenchen said abruptly, "It's all my fault, you are also starving!" ”

This is really the sun coming out of the west, Mr. Xiao, who has always been self-righteous in his eyes, took the initiative to admit his mistake, Zhang Xuebing was a little unaccustomed, but at this time he didn't pay attention to the other party.

Instead, listen to what's going on outside.

At present, although the whole village is peaceful and serene, Zhang Xuebing always feels a little weird, so he doesn't dare to relax his vigilance in the slightest.

"Don't be mad at me, okay!" Xiao Chenchen looked up at Zhang Xuebing pleadingly, and reached out and gently touched his arm.

"Shhhhh Zhang Xuebing put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture to signal her to listen outside.

Xiao Chenchen focused on it, only to hear a burst of chickens and dogs jumping outside, mixed with the screams of people.
