When I entered the courtyard gate, the first thing I saw was the courtyard, which was different from the previous family, and there was basically no clutter in this courtyard.

Su Ji looked down and observed carefully, and saw that the soil in the courtyard seemed to have traces of loosening, and then looked at the corner of the yard, a woman was pulling weeds.

Seeing Su Qi and the two, he smiled.

Looking up at the other rooms in the courtyard, there were five upright brick houses, but four of them were locked.

Su Qi glanced back at Yan Shoucheng.

People in the village are not so particular, and generally there are people in the house, so they will not lock the house.

First, rural people have a lot of houses, and many things are not put together, so they need to keep picking up and putting them back and forth. The door is open, which is much more convenient.

Second, it is easy to return to moisture in this season, and frequent opening of the door for ventilation helps to prevent moisture and mildew. Not to mention that this house built in the mountains needs to be opened frequently for ventilation and drying.

And the four locked houses in this courtyard made Su Ji have a trace of suspicion.

Is it that the family is preparing to go out, or is there something in the house that is inconvenient to open the door?

Su Ji didn't speak, and continued to walk forward.

Entering the only room with an open door, Su Qi felt even more strange.

This house is the main house, according to people's habits of building houses, this house should be the most commonly used room, in addition to the basic furniture furnishings, should also be placed some commonly used items.

But the whole room, except for a bed, a wardrobe, a large table, a few chairs, there are only two boxes.

Things are simple and clean, and it doesn't seem to be often inhabited here.

However, looking at the dress of the host's family, it can be regarded as more exquisite.

Su Ji couldn't tell for a while, whether it was the special habit of the owner of this house, or whether the house was not commonly used.

"Our village is remote, and we haven't seen an outsider for a few years, so there will be some rejection of outsiders.

The man's words interrupted Su Ji's train of thought.

Thinking about his words, Su Qi nodded and responded: "Understand, the two of us came in by accident, if it weren't really impossible to walk, we wouldn't bother you." ”

The two of them were poured water, and the man sat down across from them. Ask the basic situation of the two people.

Su Ji made up a perfect life experience for the two, and the man believed it or not, but it was obvious from his expression that he believed it.

Su Ji began to inquire sideways: "I see that the people in the village usually have closed doors, which is a little different from other villages, is there any reason?" ”

The man sighed and said, "Our ancestors fled the famine to settle here, and at that time they built their residences on this mountain in order to survive. There were many beasts and fruits on the mountain, and there were many fruits and leaves, which fed the people of that time. There are good and bad, and there are many fierce beasts in this mountain. ”

"We used to never close our doors, but when the adults went out to work, the wolf came down and took the children away. After this happened a few times, we had an unwritten rule that the door had to be closed, regardless of whether there was anyone in the house or not. ”

"Although families rarely visit the house on weekdays, and the doors are not open, the atmosphere in our village is still very good, and everyone is relatively kind."

The man's story doesn't sound like there is any loophole, but Su Ji is even more curious: "Since the danger on the mountain is so high, why don't you go down the mountain?" The times have changed, there are no wars, and there is no need to worry about survival. When you go down the mountain, the government can allocate land for you, and there is no problem with having land to support yourself, which is much better than here. ”

The man's eyes changed, but he quickly disguised it.

Looking up again, there was a sad face: "This place is where we have lived for hundreds of years, how can we just leave." Besides, you have to build a new house in a different place, and the people in the village have been living tightly all these years, so they don't have any money in their hands, and they don't have the ability to build a new house, so it's better to stay here. ”

"Moreover, it is difficult in the mountains, and the wolves really have nothing to eat, so they come back to the village to wander around, and they will not hurt us when they are full. It's not a common thing to be bitten by wolves, so there's no need to make a big deal about this kind of thing. ”

The helplessness in the words is all shown on the face.

Su Qi didn't want to ask, so he changed the topic: "We just wanted to climb the mountain, but who knows, the more confused we get when we go inside." When I first saw your village, I thought I had encountered a paradise, but it made us both excited. Knock on doors from house to door, hoping to ask about the neighborhood. Who knows what's going on, no one responds, and they think the village is empty! ”

"In this wilderness, we are scared enough, if you hadn't opened the door for us, we would have turned around and left. Speaking of fate, it's a coincidence to be able to meet you! ”

Seeing this, Yan Shoucheng took over the conversation: "It's not that I'm a big man and cowardly, just this mountain, the more you go inside, the more and higher the trees, covering the sky and the sun, giving people a somewhat gloomy feeling." The point is that the trees still look the same, which is quite confusing. I've always had a good sense of direction, but I'm still lost. ”

The man explained: "Although we are natives of this land, we don't go out, because we don't know what is out there, and you have been bold all the way. ”

That's not much, but there's a lot of information in it.

According to the man before, from the first generation to the present, at least two hundred years, because of the war, people did not go out, understandable, but after so many years, still no one has gone out, and people here are not a little curious about the outside world?

Moreover, looking at the man's conversation, it is not like a person who has been closed off for many years.

Su Ji had a question, and asked directly: "Ah! No, haven't you grown up and seen the outside world? ”

Su Ji looked at the man with surprise in his eyes, observing his every expression.

"No, like me, I go out a lot and help the people in the village buy things. It's because I often deal with people outside that I dare to let you in, otherwise you would have been on your way home. ”

Su Ji caught the loophole in this statement and asked, "Will you go out?" Why are you going to get out? Could it be that there are other ways to go outside in this village? ”

"Yes, definitely, I'll take you out when you're gone."

The man laughed dryly, rubbed his hands, and got up and called his daughter-in-law to cook for Su Qi and the others.

The man left the house, and Su Ji took the opportunity to chat with Yan Shoucheng: "Do you think he will send us out?" ”

Treasures, I'm back, and I'm back with a stable update from today, thank you!
