Go home?

Zhou Zhen's face changed, he remembered that the thatched house he was in when he woke up was indeed in this direction, but now the environment here is obviously wrong!

Problematic!

The two companions beside him are not quite right!

Is it because I drank the hot soup from the village chief's house just now?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen suddenly said: "I forgot something at the village chief's house just now!" ”

As he spoke, he immediately took a step back and distanced himself from Uncle Dolphin and Zhong Song.

Uncle Dolphin and Zhong Song immediately turned their heads to look at him.

Zhou Zhen didn't hesitate, turned his head and ran.

Seeing Zhou Zhen leave suddenly, Uncle Dolphin suddenly shouted behind him: "Bo Yan, where are you going?" ”

Whew......

Zhou Zhen didn't mean to answer at all, quickly stepped on the mud ground, and ran away quickly with all his strength in the direction he had just come.

The mist of the winter morning was like a whisked veil, and on the slightly muddy muddy ground, the overgrown weeds had withered and yellowed, swaying helplessly in the wind, and the biting chill came from the soles of the feet, and together with the cold wind, swallowed the temperature on Zhou Zhen's body.

Along the way, the blades of grass pierced the skin through the thin fabric, and the dull pain kept coming.

There are no houses, no walls, no chickens and dogs barking...... Only weeds were overwhelmed, soaked in the winter mist, exuding a terrifying cold.

Zhou Zhen was shocked to find that on the clay floor, which was as soft as chifon cake, there were no footprints they had just stepped on.

This is no longer a village!

He didn't know where he was taken by Uncle Dolphin and Zhong Song!

And, what's even more strange is why I didn't find the problem in the first place?

Whew, whew, whew......

Unsheltered field, the cold wind was blowing from all sides, Zhou Zhen felt very, very cold, because there was no food supplement, and there was no enough warm clothing, he ran and ran, his physical strength was rapidly consumed, his speed dropped suddenly, and he soon couldn't run.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, no trace of the village was found, Zhou Zhen frowned, he had to find food first!

Otherwise, he would be starved to death now, if not frozen to death!

I'm thinking, oh oh oh!

A loud rooster crow sounded, and the surrounding fog seemed to be frightened, flowing like a stormy wave, heading behind Zhou Zhen, quickly retreating.

The field of vision, which had been obscured by the fog, rapidly expanded.

Zhou Zhen suddenly saw that in the fog that quickly dispersed in front of him, a familiar courtyard began to appear, with an adobe wall, a simple but sheltered courtyard gate, and a tall persimmon tree in the yard, with a few shriveled red persimmons hanging on the branches...... It's the village chief's house that played the game just now!

But before he passed, in the fog behind him, two pairs of cold little hands stretched out and grabbed him tightly.

Zhou Zhen looked back and found that Uncle Dolphin and Zhong Song had already chased after him, grabbing his two arms one left and one right.

He immediately wanted to struggle, but he didn't know how, he couldn't use the strength of his body now.

Zhong Song looked at Zhou Zhen directly, and said in a stiff tone: "Bo Yan, it's time to go home." ”

Uncle Dolphin also said lifelessly: "Go home, go home ......"

As he spoke, the two pulled Zhou Zhen and quickly left in the opposite direction from the courtyard of the village chief's house.

Zhou Zhen suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness coming over him, and his eyelids were like a thousand pounds, and he suddenly closed uncontrollably......

※※※

The cramped thatched house, leaking wind everywhere, the moonlight shining in through the cracks, criss-crossing silver light, illuminated the general outline of the whole house, making this already simple enough house stained with a layer of frost and snow.

In the corner, Zhou Zhen suddenly woke up from the floor.

He subconsciously took a deep breath, and the cold breath poured into his body, and he suddenly felt that the air was too cold, so he immediately adjusted his breathing to calm his emotions.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhou Zhen frowned, is it still night?

He's still in this room?

Everything I experienced during the day was all a dream?

With such doubts in mind, he sat up and looked in the direction of the gate.

The wooden door was closed, the old latch was sturdy, and everything in the thatched hut was the same as when I first entered the house.

Zhou Zhen turned over and fell to the ground, and the old straw made a rustling sound under the tattered bedding.

His bare feet had just stepped on the solid mud ground, and he was suddenly frozen to a spirit.

After getting used to the conditions a little, he began to walk around the thatched hut, and turned around, but found nothing, so Zhou Zhen returned to the ground bunk, touched the position of the bed, and quickly found the brick used as a pillow.

He picked up the brick, went to the window, threw it on the ground, stood up, stood on tiptoe, and looked out.

A few thatched windows were stuffed with gaps.

Through the gap at the bottom, Zhou Zhen saw that the pond outside was still covered with thin ice, and the ice layer on the surface of the pond reflected a cold and clear cold light in the moonlight.

Some grass roots solidified in the ice, and those old and simple thatched houses by the pool, form a traditional rural scene with strong chiaroscuro, bleak atmosphere, and very meaningful meaning.

But this time, the village was quiet, and there were no children knocking on the door.

Call......

A cold wind blew through the village, rolling into the thatched house along the gaps in the doors and windows, and Zhou Zhen shivered involuntarily, feeling a chill to the bone.

He curled up subconsciously.

He didn't know if the experience of the day just now was a dream or not.

But now, I'm so hungry!

If he doesn't find food again, he's likely to die!

It's night, but you have to go out and find food!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen picked up the brick, walked quickly to the back of the door, and looked out through the gap in the door.

Outside the door is a courtyard surrounded by hedges, the courtyard is empty, the ground is paved like moonlight silver, and beyond the mountain stones used to step on the feet, there is the range of vegetable furrows.

At this moment, the vegetable beds are sparsely sprinkled with straw, and the visibility at night is too low, and you can't see the fresh vegetable leaves in the cracks of the straw.

Zhou Zhenzai carefully observed, to make sure that the previous child was not here, he no longer hesitated, moved very carefully to pull the latch, open the door, and then poked his head out a little bit, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no danger, he immediately walked out of the thatched house.

With a clear goal, he went straight to the nearest vegetable garden.

The vegetable field was covered with straw, and a little yellow was revealed between the rice stalks, which were frost-damaged leaves.

Zhou Zhen didn't know who grew these vegetables, but where could he manage so much now? Immediately brush the straw with your hands and feet and quickly harvest the vegetables.

Radish, hollyhock, wheat...... The situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to distinguish it carefully, and after pulling a bunch of vegetables as quickly as possible, he quickly withdrew to the thatched hut behind him.

Bang!

Zhou Zhen quickly returned to the house and closed the wooden door tightly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to check the harvest this time, when he looked down, only to find that he was holding a large handful of dirt in his arms, where was there any food?

Zhou Zhen frowned, was it because of the night, he had just seen it wrong?

Or is it something else?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen looked out through the crack in the door again, and after making sure it was safe, he went out for the second time.

With the experience of the last time, Zhou Zhen's movements this time were more neat, he picked another vegetable basket to make sure that after he saw the vegetable leaves in front of him clearly, he did not harm the wheat that had not yet reached the harvest season, and directly plucked a few large radishes and put them on the ridge.

After estimating his current carrying capacity, Zhou Zhen took advantage of the bright moonlight to carefully inspect the radishes that had been pulled out by himself, and after making sure that there was no problem with the vegetables harvested this time, he immediately picked them up and ran towards the thatched house.

Whew......

Zhou Zhen quickly ran into the house and closed the door, his physical strength had been exhausted after such a toss, and at this moment he was tired like a surging tide, and he threw the radish in his arms directly to the side.

Strike......

The sound of soft earth falling to the ground sounded.

Zhou Zhen's face changed, looking at the soil in front of him, his expression became solemn a little bit.

The dish he brought back the second time turned into dirt again!

For the first time, it may be that you are dazzled;

But the second time, when he came back, he deliberately checked it!

Is it a problem with this plane?

Or do you have another illness?

※※※

Whoop!

At dawn, the mist cleared, and the roosters resounded through the old village.

A bleak winter day was rising, and the thin sunlight pierced through the remaining mist and gently sprinkled on the eaves.

Squeak!

The door opened, and the villagers in shabby clothes carried farm tools and vegetable baskets one after another out of their homes and began to work.

Looking down from the sky, the whole village occupies a small area, but it is quite neatly planned, and the thatched houses are arranged in an orderly manner, without any sense of clutter.

In the southwest corner, in a courtyard not much different from other thatched houses, an adult man with a faulty hoe is tinkling in the yard to repair it.

There are some chickens and ducks in the yard, and they are chirping and looking for food while turning the mud floor.

The adult man, with a dark complexion, a face full of furrows, gray hair, and a noticeable stiffness on his back, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his lean arms, was clutching a hammer, striking at the place where the hoe joined the wooden handle, and next to it was a new piece of wood, as if intending to change the handle of the hoe.

Dingdingding......

Amid the knocking sound, there was a sound of broken footsteps in the main room, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walked out of the house.

She was dressed in a linen dress, which was supposed to be blue, but after repeated washing, it was now an old moon white, with threads drawn and damaged in many places, and three or four patches, and on her feet were a pair of cloth shoes that had also been mended and mended.

Although the dress is as gray as this village, the girl's appearance is extremely outstanding, with a goose egg face of classical beauty, the facial lines are smooth and full, the skin is snow-white and crystalline, the eyebrows are not self-described, the eyes are bright as stars, the tails of the eyes are slightly hooked, the roundness is mixed with charm, the lips are as tender as the first flowers, the figure is slender, and there is obviously no pretentiousness when walking, but it is full of the style of upside down beings.

As the girl walked out, her left hand groping around the hem of her clothes, as if looking for a pocket.

It's just that this kind of short undershirt has no pockets in the first place, and no matter how she touches it, she won't find anything.

As soon as he walked out of the door, the adult man who was repairing the hoe immediately bent down and grabbed a chicken from the side, pulled a handful of scattered straw on the ground, tied the chicken three times and two times, looked at the girl and said, "Uncle, the youngest son of the village chief's family is sick, you send this chicken to their family." ”

The girl looked at the adult man suspiciously, she couldn't remember what she was going to do next, but when she saw the hen in front of her, which was obviously an authentic free-range quality, she quickly caught it, and then walked directly to the door.

Watching his daughter carry the old hen to the village chief's house, the adult man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to repair the hoe.

At the same moment, the girl carried the tied old hen in her right hand, walked on the solid mud ground in the village, just walked out of the road for a while, suddenly stopped, and her left hand subconsciously touched the pocket at the hem of the clothes.

This ancient women's dress had no pockets at all, she didn't touch anything.

The girl frowned, glanced at the old hen in her hand, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, what was she going to do just now?

It seems to be going to the village chief's house?

But what about this old hen?

Well......

I'm a little hungry, so let's eat first!

So, the girl grabbed the old hen's wings with one hand, pinched the old hen's head with the other, and twisted it vigorously.

Click!

The old hen's entire head was pinched and exploded in an instant.

Chicken blood was spilled all over the ground, but the direction of the splash was not splashed on her by the girl's dexterous adjustment.

The girl then looked around, and found that the courtyard door of a house next to her was empty, and it was quiet inside, as if the adults had gone out to work, and there was no one in the house.

So, she carried the old hen that was still dripping blood and pushed the door directly.

She swaggered into the kitchen of this family, boiled a pot of water directly, and deflattered the old hen.

Brush Brush Brush ...... Large pieces of chicken feathers are plucked to reveal the raw white chicken, this free-range old hen, the meat is firm, the taste is delicious, just the raw ingredients, revealing a delicious atmosphere.

The girl quickly cleaned up the old hen, boiled the water again, threw the old hen into it to boil, and found that the fuel of this family was not enough, so she went to another house next door, and brought a lot of ready-made firewood and straw, and stuffed it into the stove.

Not long after, the water boiled, and the unique aroma of chicken soup spread, but the meat of the old hen was still firm, and it was not yet ready to come out of the pot.

The girl didn't mean to continue burning at all, so she opened the lid of the pot, fished out the old hen, opened her mouth, and ate it directly.

Click...... Click......

The girl chewed very hard, and the sound of broken bones was incessant.

Although the old hen was not cooked at all, she ate it without hindrance and was very sweet.

In less than ten minutes, the girl had eaten the whole old hen cleanly, leaving not even the bones and slag.

After eating, the girl went to the water tank of this house, washed her hands carefully, took care of her personal hygiene, and walked directly to the house.

When she was about to return to her yard, the girl suddenly thought of something, she hadn't gone to the village chief's house yet!

So, she immediately turned around, took a few steps forward, and soon frowned again...... Where is the village chief's house?

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard the voices of two adult women muttering not far away......

"The youngest son of the village chief's family, what kind of illness did he have this time?"

"I don't know! I heard that it seems to have fallen into some evil ......."

"Evil? There are sacrifices in our village every year, and we have never neglected them...... How can you fall for evil? ”

"I just heard, don't be so loud!"

"Oooh oh ......"

"There is someone in front, stop talking, go to the village chief's house first......"

Wait a little bit for the next one, and check it out after writing.
