Chapter 182: Deserted Village (3)
I followed my sister-in-law and the village chief all the way in the direction of the village.
The villagers were obviously curious about me, but they only watched from a distance and did not come forward, but restrained themselves from a certain distance, which made me gradually relax in confusion.
The reeds on both sides were very luxuriant, and they grew taller than I was. I tried to look around with my feet on my feet, but all I could see was the small night sky cut overhead. As I walked, I suddenly realized that I was starting to lose track of the way I came, and the details of the path before a few turns were blurred out.
How so? I couldn't help but be shocked.
Sister-in-law Ah Gui seemed to see my crampedness and uneasiness, came up and grabbed my hand, and kept saying: "Poor little girl, just go back to the village quickly, just return to my village." ”
Is she talking about me? Why do you think I'm pitiful?
But Sister-in-law's rough hands have an unexpected warmth and soothing power, and I vaguely feel that there have always been such trustworthy elders and companions around me. So what is there to worry about? The previous bit of wariness and fear had dissipated imperceptibly, and I no longer thought about the path I had just walked, nor did I wonder why everything was so good when I arrived in the village.
I don't know how long it took to walk, it seemed to be a long way away, and it seemed to be a short period of effort, and the sister-in-law announced that we had arrived.
The houses in the small village do not look beautiful, and some are even a little dilapidated, but the villagers here have the most simple emotions and the most hospitable customs.
The village chief and some people stopped on the side of the road, as if they were arguing over something. Sister-in-law said that this was because I was the most important guest, and everyone wanted to be able to entertain me in person, so they were discussing which one to choose.
Such a grand treatment made me a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just go to your sister-in-law's house for the night." ”
Sister-in-law looked at me with a smile and waved her hand again and again, "How can this be done, my family is in a very simple place, and there are not many people who can greet you." You can rest assured, no matter which one is cheaper in the end, I will go over to stay with you for the first few nights. ”
I was a little relieved, but I was also very puzzled: "I'll leave tomorrow after sunrise, and I won't bother for a few nights or so long." ”
Listening to my words, Sister-in-law A Gui smiled a little strangely, "Our village is fine, I don't want to leave as soon as you stay." Besides, where are you going?"
I opened my mouth, but suddenly I didn't know how to answer, and I couldn't help but frown and rub my fingers on my temples as I wondered where I was going.
At this time, the village chief seemed to have come to a conclusion, and an old woman with gray hair and a stiff body came over with two tall and strong men with happy faces, and the others seemed to be unwilling, but they also gradually dispersed in silence.
A Gui's sister-in-law sighed twice, first congratulated the old woman, and then introduced to me that this is the third strong and the fourth strong, the brothers of the same mother, the kind of people who are all honest and honest, and they are good at farming and fishing.
Then he told the two brothers, who were tall and tall, that the little girl was delicate and expensive, and that you should not frighten him with evil deeds
By this time, the tiredness began to set up, and I became a little impatient. It's just that the consistent upbringing still supports me to mechanically say hello to the three strong, the four strong and their mothers, and apologize and thank them for disturbing them. Then I felt that the two eyelids were fighting uncontrollably, and I just wished I could go to rest early and end the long night.
Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow is a new day!
