Chapter 13: Time Stops
Su Qi and his entourage tied Qingfeng Ju to the entrance of the village, walked into the village, not far from the entrance of the village is a mottled ancient well, which is covered with green vines, and an iron chain is locked along the well. At this time, an old woman carried a wooden bucket and struggled to fetch water.
When Su Xin saw it, he immediately went up to help.
"Mother-in-law, I'll help you. ”
"Good boy, thank you, thank you!" the old woman folded her hands on her chest and saluted Su Xin.
Su Xin, this kid, is still quite cute, well, ignore his voice!
Due to Su Xin's enthusiastic help, Su Qi and his entourage lived in the old woman's house very smoothly. Through the conversation, I learned that she was the only one left in the old woman's family, and she originally had a son, but more than ten years ago, she suddenly said that she was going to enter the mountain, and there was no news after that, and her wife also became ill because of longing, and she couldn't survive for a few years and passed away.
After the death of her wife, she was left with such a large courtyard, a total of five rooms, plus the firewood room can be counted as six, which is definitely a big family in Tiger Village.
The old woman vacated the house, and the three of them made a bunk on the floor. Now they don't have any requirements for a place to live, unlike when they first went out, they were used to living a life of fine clothes and food, and they were not used to living in this kind of simple house at first, and they couldn't sleep for a long time. Su Qi simply let them live in the wild, on the trees and on the ground, this time, it is already very good to be able to live in the room now!
"Second aunt, I heard that there are guests in your house, and the villagers asked me to ask these guests if they are interested in participating in the bonfire party in the evening. ”
Everyone laid out the floor, took care of the room, and was chatting in the courtyard, when suddenly the courtyard door was pushed open, and a lean old man walked into the courtyard, with sparse eyebrows and black and white hair, about sixty years old, and his voice was loud and full of neutrality.
"It's the third man, you can ask. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the village chief of Baijia Village, there is a bonfire party in our village at night, which is very rare once a year, and the young people in the village will participate, I wonder if a few guests are interested?"
"If you are interested in the evening, you can also go and join in the fun, and you have to relax after so many days. ”
"Yay!"
"Yay!"
Everyone cheered, after so many days, after all, it is a teenager's heart, or a playful age, and they all like this kind of fun.
Then I will command that I go down and slaughter three more sheep in the evening. ”
The head of Baijia Village was also happy when he heard that the guests agreed, and he felt that his enthusiasm had been rewarded and he was very satisfied. After chatting with everyone, he left to explain the matter of the bonfire party in the evening.
"The people in this village are so welcoming. ”
"Yes, there are still many kind and simple people in the world. ”
......
Everyone chattered and discussed.
Soon the sun set, the clouds on the horizon were burned into red carbon, and occasionally sparks burst into the distant sky, igniting a red glow.
When the last rays of the sun had been drained, the village chief came again, this time without much greeting, and led the group to a wide square in the center of the village.
"Let's go, let's take a look. ”
Su Qi saw that Su Xun and Su Heng didn't mean to get up, and pulled them.
"I'm not going, I'm not used to this kind of bustle, let's read a book in the yard. ”
"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and it's better to read countless people than to read 10,000 miles.
In order to pull this nerd to go with him, Su Qi couldn't help but turn into an intellectual, and he was stunned by what he said, when did he speak so well!
"Well, what Brother Qi said makes sense, I'll go with you to take a look. ”
Su Heng savored it carefully, and felt that what Su Qi said was very right, you can't do learning behind closed doors, you still have to go out for a walk and meet a hundred kinds of people, which is also a hundred kinds of life experience.
"What about you?"
Su Qi looked at Xun Dao, even a nerd like Su Heng agreed, and this cold face should also agree.
"Brother Xun, you go with me to play for a while. ”
Su Xin also added oil and vinegar on the side, Su Xun glanced at Su Xin and finally agreed.
When the four of them came to the square, the people in the square were already holding hands and forming a circle, and in the middle was a man-high bonfire, crackling and burning, and occasionally a few tongues of fire spewed out, reflecting the red faces of everyone on the field.
The children of the Su family also held hands with the villagers, surrounded by sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys and girls of the same age in the village, dancing around the bonfire.
Seeing this, Su Xin was eager to try and wanted to go over, Su Xun instructed, but after thinking about it, he still didn't feel at ease, so he took Su Xin over with him.
"Let's go there and sit down. ”
Su Qi found a clean place to sit, and there was a whole sheep roasted on the side, all golden and bubbling with oil. Su Qi was not polite, picked up the meat cleaver on the ground and cut off a large piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, seeing Su Heng sitting down, he threw the meat cleaver in his hand to him at will.
Su Heng took the knife and cut off a piece of meat on the leg of mutton, and dipped it in some of their remaining seasonings.
"What did you find?"
Su Qi asked casually while chewing the mutton in his hand, his mouth was full, and his speech was a little unclear.
"It's weird, but I can't tell where it's weird!" Su Heng felt weird from the first time he saw the tiger-headed mirror, but he couldn't say it.
"Then don't think about it so much, rest and adjust. ”
Su Qi wiped the grease on his hands and rushed to the crowd with a cheer.
Su Heng shook his head, carefully wiped the grease on his hands, and slowly walked towards the crowd.
A night of laughter, and when everyone went back to the room to rest, they were already full of sleepiness, said good night to each other, and went to sleep.
"Hum—"
In an instant, an invisible ripple rippled throughout the village, accompanied by a very low and thin humming sound, which could only be faintly heard if you listened carefully. Su Qi's eyes opened suddenly, and he got up and wanted to open the door, but found that the door was shrouded in an invisible force, and he couldn't shake it.
Su Qi tried countless methods, but to no avail. Fortunately, he didn't feel any danger, so he didn't care about him, and he slept first.
......
Following.
Everyone was sitting in the courtyard chatting, when suddenly the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and in came a lean old man, with sparse eyebrows and black and white hair, about sixty years old, with a loud voice and full of energy.
"It's the third man, you can ask. ”
The next sentence seems to be a bonfire party?
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the village chief of Baijia Village, there is a bonfire party in our village at night, which is very rare once a year, and the young people in the village will participate, I wonder if a few guests are interested?"
......
How is this scene so familiar?
Where do you think you've seen it?
Could it be that he had dreamed about it? No, no, Su Qi tried to calm his mind.
By the way, there was an invisible force that enveloped the entire village last night, this is?
Time stops!
This village is in a state of time, and every day repeats the actions of the previous day, only slightly modified when someone comes in, but then it starts to repeat again, where everyone forgets the existence of time, slowly assimilated, and never dies, but there will never be you in the world!
Su Qi woke up suddenly, scared out of a cold sweat, and shouted loudly when he picked up the secret technique that the master had taught before, and a sound exploded in everyone's hearts, and everyone woke up suddenly, hurriedly packed up and left this strange village, shedding a cold sweat.
After everyone left, a figure slowly appeared in the old woman's house, dressed in white and white shoes, green silk hanging shoulders, and embroidered with a green lotus on her clothes.
