Wang Decai wiped his hands on his dirty pants, reached out and took a few tickets handed over by Lu Xihua, transferred them to the sun in the courtyard and looked at the light, and then touched them carefully, and then put them in his pocket with satisfaction.

"I'll fetch you the jar and make sure you wash it clean. After Wang Decai said this, he walked quickly to his backyard.

The big black dog also followed Wang Decai to the backyard. Wang Decai reached out and lifted an iron plate embedded in the ground, revealing a passage downward, which turned out to be a cellar.

Lu Xihua was looking at the dilapidated courtyard and the beautiful scenery outside the courtyard when he suddenly heard a voice from the cellar.

"Give me something to eat, I really don't have the strength~" A subtle female voice came into my ears.

"Aren't you able to run, run, run!" Wang Decai's suppressed voice came.

Then there was a sound of punching and kicking in the cellar, as if Wang Decai was moving.

"Eat, give me something to eat. Whatever you want. The woman's voice was like a gossamer.

Lu Xihua frowned when he heard this, and Wang Decai's voice came again, "Don't think about it if you don't give me a child." I can't take care of you yet. Now that there are guests outside, I'm too lazy to talk to you more. I'll clean you up in the evening!"

Then there was the sound of Wang Decai taking things in the cellar, and suddenly there was silence for a while, and a weak female voice shouted, "Help! Help~" Before the words were finished, it seemed that her mouth was covered, and then there was another sound of punches and kicks hitting the flesh, and the woman was no longer silent.

"Cheap woman, look for trouble at every opportunity, I don't have time now, you wait for me at night!" Wang Decai finished speaking, and not long after Wang Decai finished speaking, the sound of going up the steps came from the cellar.

Lu Xihua hurriedly withdrew to the front yard, and after a while, Wang Decai came back with two wine jars and a bamboo basket, followed by a big black dog with a smile on his face.

"I'll clean the jar for you!" After speaking, he came to the sink in the front yard, picked up a bamboo brush, poured some water and washed it diligently.

Lu Xihua saw Wang Decai brushing the jar by the sink with an unharmed face, and had a trace of doubt in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Uncle Wang." I think I heard someone shouting for help? I don't know, do I?"

Wang Decai's face changed, and he smiled again, "It's a shadowless thing, it may be that my mother-in-law is sick, and she snorted a few times, so you can hear it, right?" ”

Lu Xihua asked again, "Isn't my aunt sick and not in the house?" ”

Wang Decai looked remorseful, "I don't know what my mother-in-law's illness is, the doctor said that she can't see the light, so she can only stay in the cellar, and I serve her with good food and drink every day." Most of the money from the hard work of selling wine was used to treat her. ”

Lu Xihua said in a low voice, "Oh, then Uncle Wang, you are really hard. He said no more.

Wang Decai also laughed lightly twice and said no more.

Soon Wang Decai washed the jar, filled the wine, and helped seal it, and the two returned to the gate of the village chief's courtyard.

It seemed that the meal had already been opened inside, and Wang Decai hurriedly ran in to mix the food. Lu Xihua found a piece of barren land near here, built a simple stove, and started cooking.

I was busy all morning until now, and everyone and leopard were hungry with their chests pressed against their backs. The imprint space has grown a lot larger since Luohan became smaller, and now has an area of about ten cubic meters. In order to test, Lu Xihua also deliberately threw seven or eight live rabbits and three or five live pheasants in it, and now it seems that there is nothing to do, and live animals can be placed in the space. It's just that it's still full of green energy, and I don't know what it does. The ground was clean, and the rabbits and pheasants didn't leave a trace of filth no matter how they jumped around inside, and I don't know where they went.

A rabbit, a fish, bacon sausage, steamed rice, and a vegetable soup, this is the lunch of Big Cat and Lu Xihua.

One person and one leopard were eating happily, and Lu Xihua found a man in his thirties smoking a cigarette and walking towards him, looking dressed, not like a person from this mountain village, it was estimated that he was the distinguished guest of the village chief.

The person who came combed his neat hair and said hello, and Lu Xihua also quickly stood up to deal with it.

The visitor looked at the big cat, a little frightened, and asked, "Is the young man alone?"

Lu Xihua patted the big cat's back, this cat now has food, and he has no vigilance, so he buried his head there and ate it, and pointed to a big stone, "Yes, I am a travel friend." I've been walking around the mountains here for a few days, and I'm going to buy something in this village to replenish it. What do you call Big Brother?"

The face of the person who came was a little heavy, "My surname is Yu, and I am single hook Yu." It's okay for you to call me Brother Yu. Why didn't the young man go in for dinner? ”

Lu Xihua smiled, "My surname is Lu, the one who climbed Mount Tai and Xiao Lu." The village is not rich, it is too poor. I'll do it myself, so I won't bother you. Brother Yu's hometown is here?"

Brother Yu shook his head, "My father's hometown is from this township, and he hasn't been back for decades. I heard that an old friend had moved to this village, and my dad had to come and see it. My lover, my sister, and my children came with him. The road into the village is really difficult to walk, here can only rely on walking and horseback riding, not even a motorcycle, really poor to the roots. ”

Lu Xihua smiled and didn't say much. Brother Yu saw the two wine jars next to him and asked, "You still bought wine?"

Lu Xihua replied, "Yes, I got some medicinal herbs in the mountains and wanted to go home to make some medicinal wine to drink." ”

"What's the matter with this leopard? I heard from them that there was a young man from the village with a baby leopard. I thought they were wrong and wanted to come out and see for themselves. At first glance, you are really a leopard. Brother Yu pointed at the big cat that was gnawing on the rabbit with his fingers holding the cigarette.

"What else, I met it in the mountains and lived alone, and then I fed it a few times, and then I refused to leave. Lu Xihua shrugged.

Brother Yu was silent for a while, and decided to speak directly, "Xiao Lu, we are all outsiders, just open the skylight and say something, do you think there is any problem in this village?"

Lu Xihua stared at Brother Yu's eyes, everyone looked at each other like this, no one shrank their eyes, and after half a sound, Lu Xihua said softly, "I heard someone shouting for help." ”

Brother Yu smoked violently, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, touched it, and reached out to hand Lu Xihua a white note wrapped in the size of a thin stick, "Look at this!"

Lu Xihua took the note suspiciously, looked down, and there were two pencil words on the note, "Help me"!

"Brother Yu, what is this?" asked Lu Xihua with a note.

"Yesterday our family parked the car outside the mountain, the mountain road is not easy to walk, the village that took an hour to ride a horse, the whole village basically went out to meet us, to be honest, we were particularly moved, at night, the village chief also took a group of people to stand at the entrance of the village and wait for us. There were also a few tables of banquets, in the courtyard of the village chief's house, the old man of my family was very excited, drank a few more glasses, we were going to leave after dinner, and then I thought about going back to walk for more than 2 hours, so late It is not safe to walk in the dark, so I accepted the kindness of the village chief, lived in the village chief's house, there were many children in the village, and finally the red envelopes were not enough, and I took the money directly, and the children were very happy to get ten or twenty yuan, I was sick to my stomach when I drank too much, so I secretly called a child to help me buy milk, and gave him fifty yuan. Later, I didn't see the child, I thought that the child was naughty and took the money and didn't do anything, so I didn't take it seriously. Uncle Yu began to tell what happened to him.

"As a result, I drank high, slept until almost noon today, and then saw the child, it turned out that there was no commissary in this village at all, and no one in the village bought milk, this child walked more than 2 hours on the Black Mountain Road that night, and ran to the small village where we originally parked, and the commissary had long been closed, so he borrowed a relative's house in that village, and waited until the morning to open the door, bought milk and walked more than 2 hours on the mountain road to send me milk. I wanted to slap myself in the face. ”

"Later, I wanted to pack a little more money for this child, this child didn't want to live or die, he ran fast, I didn't run away with him for a while~~ I went out to chase. After such a chase, I got lost in the village, because they were all high and low adobe houses, and many of the roofs had traces of thatch. I went around to a courtyard by feeling, and I didn't see any child, and I was about to turn around and go, when I heard the movement of a thin rope, and my curiosity came up, so I leaned over to look. The sound came from a very broken window, and I was really tendoned, thinking that it was not the kid who was playing hide and seek with me, and I was also joking, and was ready to run over and scare him. ”
