Niu Hao put the little girl in the caravan and extinguished the bonfire. Burning Library
Daqing pulled the caravan forward, and Niu Hao and the three of them followed.
The little girl said that her home was right in front of her.
The little girl wasn't lying.
It didn't take long for a house to be seen on the side of the road. The most common adobe house of the kind of farmer family is a thatched roof.
The dim light shines through a window, shining under such a dark night, like a guiding light, which makes people feel reassured.
Approaching the house, Da Qingma looked a little restless, and he didn't want to continue to move forward.
In the caravan, the little girl shrunk into the corner tightly, not wanting to leave.
Niu Hao turned his head to look at the adobe house and said:
"I'm going to call the door. ”
正言 says:
"I'm with you. ”
Zhengguan was behind the caravan, whispering to the little girl: It's home, get out of the car.
Niu Hao knocked on the door, and after a long time, a voice came from the thatched house, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Who?"
Niu Hao replied:
"Passing. ”
There was no sound in the door.
Zhengyan looked at Niu Hao and said loudly at the door:
"We met a little girl on the road, it's from your family. ”
Hearing this, there was a reaction in the house. The voice that had just answered the door replied loudly:
"Did you meet Xiaoshuang, where is she?"
Then the voice in the door said:
"Please sit in the room. Push the door hard, and it opens. ”
Niu Hao turned his head to look behind him, and the senior brother Zhengguan had already half-pulled and half-persuaded the little girl out of the caravan.
The little girl lowered her head, and was very reluctant to be pushed by Zhengguan, and walked towards the door.
Niu Hao pushed the door hard, and the wooden door creaked open.
Entering the hall, it was very narrow and dark.
There are two rooms on the left and right. The dim light peeked through the door on the left, leaving a bright shadow in the dark hall.
"Please, come in and sit down. ”
The sound came from the room with the lights on.
Niu Hao raised his feet and walked into the door.
The footsteps were on the ground, and nothing happened.
In the lighted door, the voice continued to ask:
"Xiaoshuang, are you with you? This kid is really stupid, he can get lost when he goes out to collect firewood. ”
Niu Hao followed the voice and walked to the door.
There is an earthen kang in the room, and an oil lamp is placed on the kang table. On the ground near the window, there was a man sitting. One face is covered with wrinkles and gray hair.
Seeing Niu Hao standing at the door, the person sitting on the earthen kang waved at Niu Hao and said:
"Come and sit in the house. ”
His voice was full of enthusiasm, but he himself sat on the kang and did not move.
Niu Hao walked into the house and saw that the two trousers of the person who had just been blocked by the kang table were empty.
The person sitting on the earthen kang looked at Niu Hao with an apologetic face and said:
"My body is really inconvenient, I can't get up to greet it, and I'm sluggish. ”
It turned out to be a crippled old man with no legs.
This greatly exceeded Niu Hao's expectations.
As he approached the hut, the big green horse showed great agitation, as if he had smelled danger.
And the little girl, hiding in the back of the caravan, just refused to get out of the caravan.
made Niu Hao feel that there must be something vicious hidden in this thatched house.
The old man patted the clay kang and said to Niu Hao:
"Sit, come and sit. ”
Niu Hao smiled on his face and saluted the old man.
Behind Niu Hao, Zhengyan poked his head out to look into the room and walked in.
Seeing Zhengyan, the old man patted the clay kang more diligently and beckoned Zhengyan to come and sit.
Zhengguan led the little girl into the room, and the old man was obviously surprised, and said with a smile:
"So many at once, guest. It's really hilarious. ”
The little girl bowed her head deeply and stood in the doorway. The old man on the clay kang said in a complaining tone:
"This kid, don't you hurry up to boil water to greet the guests when the guests come, what are you doing there. ”
Then, he beckoned Niu Hao and the three of them to sit down, and said:
"The life of the Zhuang family is rough. It's dirty everywhere, don't dislike it. ”
Niu Hao turned his head to look at Zhengguan and motioned for Zhengguan to sit down.
Zhengyan wanted to follow, but saw Niu Hao standing in the middle of the ground, so he stood beside Niu Hao.
The old man looked at Niu Hao and the three of them one by one and asked:
"Where are you going, you have to travel overnight. ”
Zhengguan didn't speak, Niu Hao had already said:
"Accompany our young master and go to Beijing to catch the exam. During the day, I miscalculated the distance, and I have been delayed until now, and I have not found a place to stay. ”
Hearing Niu Hao say that, he was looking at his head, and promised "yes, yes".
The old man on the clay kang kept nodding his head, turned his head and saw that the little girl was still bowing her head, with a pestle by the door, her face showing displeasure, and her voice was also stern, and said:
The three guests walked all night, tired and thirsty. Go boil water, make a good pot of tea, and quench the thirst of your guests. ”
The old man's voice was stern, and the little girl did not dare to turn a deaf ear anymore, so she lowered her head and turned to go out.
正言 says:
"I'm going to help her. ”
The old man on the earthen kang waved his hand vigorously at Zhengyan and said:
"Sit down and rest y'all y'all y'all who have come from afar. ”
As he spoke, he asked again:
"Three distinguished guests, where did you find the little girl?"
正語says:
"It's just on our way here, it's not very far from here. We heard someone crying, so we went over to look and found her in the bushes. ”
The old man shook his head, sighed, and said:
"This child's head has not been bright since he was a child, and he often goes out to fetch water and collect firewood, and then he gets lost. I look like this, and I can't get off the ground and can't go out to find her. I really don't know what day she will be able to do if she is far away and she can't even find her home. ”
Curious, he asked:
"I look around, and you're alone. Why don't you find a village, where everyone can still take care of them if there are many households. ”
The old man snorted and laughed, his face showing embarrassment, and said for a while:
"Truth be told, we were kicked out of the village. ”
"Why?"
Zhengguan asked.
The old man looked at Zhengguan, then looked at Niu Hao and Zhengyan, and said:
"The year my daughter was born, I had an accident and broke my legs, and the child was born prematurely after being frightened, bleeding nonstop, and died before I could call a doctor. The girl who stayed behind was not bright in her head, and she was stupid all day long. You also know that there are many people in the village, and some people gossip, saying that my daughter is ominous, and she was born to make her father a waste, and even more to kill her mother. Gossip spread throughout the village, and we couldn't stay any longer. I can only find such a place where no one has seen before and after to settle. ”
Zhengguan nodded with sympathy.
Is that little girl ominous?
Niu Hao turned his head and looked at Zhengyan.
