Chapter 57: The Village

After a night's rest, Su Shu headed north, and since the drought was strange, she wanted to take a look.

As we walked further north, the more people on the road came, most of whom were unclothed and thin.

They ate bark, grass roots, or dirt, and there was a dead silence in their eyes.

There are even a large number of people starving to death on the side of the road, some old and some young, a piece of purgatory on earth.

Looking at these, Su Shu felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't interfere, but chose to ignore it.

This is not something she can save alone, after all, thousands of people are starving, and she has no way to feed them.

After walking for more than half a month, a river appeared in front of Su Shu's eyes, and only half of the river water was dry, but it did not affect the water use.

There was a village by the river, and the smoke in the village seemed to be a little quiet, as if it had not experienced the suffering of famine at all.

With curiosity, Su Shu rode into the village.

"Da Da Da!"

The sound of horses' hooves woke up the villagers, and some of them opened a crack in the door and secretly looked at the uninvited guest. Some people's doors were closed, and some people opened the doors and looked at Su Shu generously.

Su Shu's eyes flashed invisibly, and there was a touch of deep thought in her eyes.

Feng Yu glanced at these villagers and said in Zhihai:

"Sister, these people are so strange!"

Su Shu lowered her eyes and asked, "What's strange?"

"It's just that they look at you so strangely! It's like a monster seeing the eyes of a human. ”

With this realization, Feng Yu stared at the villagers vigilantly, for fear that they would hurt Su Shu.

Su Shu touched Feng Yu's head and signaled him to rest assured, what Feng Yu could see, how could she not feel it!

But she wanted to see how these people survived, and although the river had not dried up, there was no harvest in the fields.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked over, glanced up and down at Su Shu and the dark horse beside her, a trace of covetousness flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

"I am the head of this Hejia Village, my surname is Zhang, if you want to stay in the village, you can come to my house. ”

Su Shu didn't miss the coveted look in the middle-aged man's eyes, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were hooked on her face, and she smiled slightly:

"In this way, it will disturb the village chief He. ”

A hint of joy flashed in He Zhang's eyes, and he quickly glared at the villagers around him, and then led Su Shu into his house with a smile.

Su Shu looked at the village chief's house, compared to the thatched houses of other village names, the village chief's house is simply a large adobe house, and there are many rooms.

Su Shu smashed his mouth, it seems that he, the village chief, is very good.

As soon as he entered the gate, He Zhang shouted:

"Wife, there's a guest at home!"

After speaking, he led the horse and tied it to the old tree beside him.

"Hey, it's coming!"

A neutral voice sounded, and Su Shu followed the voice, and a middle-aged woman of forty years old walked out of the gloomy room.

The fat of his body trembled as he walked, and a pair of inverted triangular eyes shone with fine essence.

She first glanced at Su Shu up and down, a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she swallowed her saliva invisibly:

"My wife is old and slow, and she came out late to greet guests, please don't blame her!"

Su Shu lowered her eyes to cover the look in her eyes, and smiled:

"Don't dare, don't dare, the village chief's wife will greet her personally, how can it be late!"

"Hey, what's the name of the village chief's wife, girl, you're not very old, just call me Aunt He." Aunt He twisted the waist of the bucket, looking disobedient.

Su Shu just smiled politely and didn't make a sound.

After two sentences, a man about twenty years old walked out of the house. The figure is a little crooked, the face is dark, and a pair of small eyes are full of numbness.

He glanced at Su Shu numbly, nodded slightly, and walked towards the outside of the house.

When Aunt He saw Su Shu looking at her son, she said with a smile:

"That's my son, named He Shan, he just doesn't like to talk, he didn't scare you, right?"

Su Shu shook her head, retracted her gaze, and asked casually:

"Brother He is married, why haven't you seen your sister-in-law?"

Aunt He's eyes flashed a trace of discomfort, and she said with a smile:

"I got married, I got married five years ago, and as for your sister-in-law, she was unlucky, and she died a few years ago. ”

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, looking sad.

Su Shu glanced at the handkerchief, a touch of deep thought crossed her eyes again, and said in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your sadness. ”

Aunt He snorted her garlic nose, put the handkerchief in her sleeve, and said with a bitter smile:

"How can I blame you, it's my wife who is not blessed and can't keep such a good daughter-in-law!"

Su Shu didn't talk to her at this time, she just lowered her head and communicated with the phoenix feather on her shoulder.

"Sister, why is this old fat woman so fat, who is not a yellow-skinned and thin victim along the way, why is she as fat as a pig? And sister, why are you talking to her so much, the people here are all malicious, Feng Yu doesn't like it very much. ”

Listening to Feng Yu's complaints, a smile flashed in Su Shu's eyes, and she hooked the corners of her mouth and said:

"I know they have bad intentions, but I want to see how they survive, and what they want to do by deliberately keeping me and deliberately downplaying my vigilance. ”

Feng Yu pursed his mouth, and when he saw that Su Shu was determined to stay, he stopped persuading, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he fell asleep in Su Shu's arms, and he didn't bother to look at them pretending.

Su Shu looked at the red feather exposed on her chest, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes. Since Feng Yu advanced to the fourth order, his temperament is not as simple as before, but he loves to complain, and his observation is much stronger.

After talking for a long time, Aunt He felt a little dry, so she smiled at Su Shu and said:

"Hey, look at my old woman, she talks a lot when she gets older, and she actually pulls you to talk for a long time. You are very tired all the way, so my aunt will take you into the room to rest and rest, and when you finish eating, your aunt will bring you over. ”

Su Shu nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome." ”

Aunt He walked in front of her with one foot deep and one foot shallow, her fat body twisted and twisted, and a weird smile appeared on her face, but her voice was full of care:

"What did the girl say, how could it be troublesome, it's too late for the aunt to be happy!"

Su Shu's consciousness has always shrouded Aunt He, since she didn't miss her weird smile, and listening to her bite the word happy very hard, a trace of coldness flashed in Su Shu's eyes.

There are rules in the world of cultivating immortals, and you can't shoot at mortals at will, because you will be burdened with very serious karma, but if mortals take the lead, it will be different for self-protection.

What's more, they don't necessarily need to take action themselves! These villagers are depressed and depressed, and they are afraid that they will soon be unlucky.

Aunt He arranged a room for Su Shu to be next to the main room, and it was very clean and concise.

Su Shu glanced at the windowless room, knowing that she was afraid that she would run away if she sensed something, so she stepped in without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Aunt He nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said:

"Rest in peace, girl! The old woman has gone to cook. ”

Su Shu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a grateful look:

"Aunt He, you're welcome, now that there is a drought everywhere, where will you get the food to entertain me. ”

When Aunt He heard this, a hint of smug flashed in her eyes and said:

"Our Hejia Village is different from other villages, some of them are grain, and we guarantee that you still want to eat it after eating!"
