"Huh?"

With the doubts of the people in the room, the dim light bulb was also lit.

There was a man and a woman sitting on the kang, who seemed to be husband and wife.

And they are also wearing shrouds.

The old lady puffed on her tobacco pouch, "I heard that you made a group of people go to the threshing floor? What are you doing?"

Blade Strip smiled and said, "A few friends from the city, take them for a walk."

He didn't tell us who we were, but found a reason to prevaricate.

"Isn't this nonsense! Hurry on in!"

Knife Face turned his head cautiously and squeezed out a stiff smile: "What, let's go to the kang."

I gave Ah Chen a few looks, took off his shoes and put on the hot kang.

"Two dogs."

The old lady crackled the cigarette pouch, "There are still a few sets of clothes in the cupboard, take them out and change them for your friends."

The knife slipped down to the ground and pulled out a few old clothes.

Looking at the brown copper coin pattern on it, I feel awkward no matter how I look at it.

The old lady patiently reassured, "Don't mind, young man, just get through tonight."

I squinted at Knife Face, "Ergou, huh?"

"Yes, that's what the people in the village call me."

I nodded and moved to the old lady's side, "We are friends with Ergou, but not just friends."

"I'm here for the sake of your village."

The old lady wrapped her sleeves, looked at the old man, and then looked at me again.

"Don't make a fuss, kid."

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The second dog was like a great enemy, and as soon as he pressed the switch, the house immediately fell into darkness.

"Shhhhhh

Ergou put his finger to his mouth, his eyes staring at the door, and fine beads of sweat seeped out along his head.

"O village chief! Village Chief!"

The sound of slamming the door and shouting sounded at the same time, and I looked back at Ergou: "Are you the village chief?"

The second dog didn't say anything, but looked at his father, "Listen to this sound, it's like a bolt."

His father glanced out the door, the corners of his mouth squeezed hard with the wrinkles on his face, and he looked like an air-dried bun.

"No one can open the door today!"

The shouts outside the door grew louder and louder: "Open the door, uncle, my mother is sick!" Borrow some medicine!"

In the dark room, only the cigarette pouch pot flickered and dimmed, and the two dogs scratched their scalps.

"Borrowing medicine is a lifesaver, Dad! The plug mother has asthma, and if there is no medicine, this person will have to breathe in a while!"

The old man rubbed his two rough palms: "Then don't dare to open the door."

The old lady pouted: "We're all this age, and we're still afraid of death?" The bolt lady is only in her 40s, and it's a pity that she died."

"Besides, the bolt has already arrived at the door, because you didn't open the door, and finally let his mother disappear, what will we do in the village in the future?"

She raised her short and thick fingers and poked hard at the old man: "You are the village chief, the taste of poking the backbone is not pleasant!"

"Hey."

The old man looked up to the sky and sighed, and then pouted to the second dog: "Give him the medicine, hurry back, don't stay for a moment!"

"Okay!"

In front of his parents, Ergou completely lost his previous ferocity, and only his face was full of obedience.

I hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Ah Chen, let's go with him."

With the two of us as companions, the horror on Ergou's face subsided a little.

Things in the world are so strange sometimes, an hour ago, we were tied up, and an hour later, we were standing in the same trench.

When I got to the door, the second dog looked at me, leaned over to the door again, and shouted tentatively.

"That, plug, I'll throw the medicine out, you can order it."

"Good, good."

The bolt outside the door finally stopped knocking on the door in a panic.

Ergou opened the door suddenly, and the medicine was like hot coals, and he raised his hand and stuffed it out directly.

The plug is not very old, with a round face and flat head, wearing a school uniform on the upper body, and a pair of labor protection pants of an unrecognizable color on his legs.

"Thank you!"

The bolt stood at the door with a smile on his face, kowtowing to the second dog, and making a fuss.

Before leaving, he also took out a piece of candy from his pocket: "Oh, this time."

Ergou smiled bitterly, put the candy in his pocket, and closed the door with a smile.

"Fuck, false alarm."

With his words, the alarm seemed to be completely lifted.

The atmosphere between us is no longer so solemn.
