It's just July now, and the summer vacation for a large number of students has just begun. However, my friends have been expelled from school and joined the society early. They even experienced the torture of the corpse curse and the gluttonous curse not long ago. The injuries were not fully recovered, and they had to go to school again. Set off for Huangfeng Village.
There was no way. There was a trace of dried blood on the paper left by Mrs. Liu, and she left in such a hurry. Thinking about the worst, she might have encountered someone who attacked her, so she had to flee to Huangfeng. village.
And if someone really attacks her, it is most likely Zhang Renshi. After all, Mrs. Liu, who is alone and elderly, is more likely to be the target of his revenge than me who is under heavy protection in the hospital.
But then again, since Mrs. Liu can still think of leaving a note, it means that she was not killed by Zhang Ren's deadly hand so easily. Thinking of this, I feel more and more that I must leave for Huangfeng Village as soon as possible.
According to Gui Yatou's inference, the blood stains on the paper are estimated to be seven or eight days old. According to the current traffic situation, Mrs. Liu should have arrived at Huangfeng Village long ago. But if the person surnamed Zhang also goes to Huangfeng Village with her, then her current situation is still very dangerous. I still have many things to ask her clearly. For both emotional and rational reasons, I should be on the same front with her now. .
However, how to talk to grandpa, grandma and the others about this issue has really become a problem. I couldn't just run away without saying a word. They asked me to stay at home because my injury hadn't healed yet. Not to mention Huangfeng Village, a place I wasn't familiar with, they didn't even know about the town. Will let me go alone. Secondly, I can't just say I'm going to Huangfeng Village, I have to find a reasonable reason to make the old man feel at ease.
I was feeling worried on the way back when suddenly someone called me. When I looked at the number, hey, it actually belonged to this guy Tai Qing.
"Ah Fei, how are your grandparents? Hehe, what about you, how are you doing? You must be on a blind date, right?"
This guy, what he said earlier was quite satisfying, but why did he come up with a topic about blind dates without making any sense? He also deliberately raised his voice to emphasize the word "blind date". I laughed and scolded him a few times and asked How could he remember to call me?
"Isn't it a holiday after the exam? I just wanted to ask if you are still in the village. It just so happened that I also went back to see my grandparents. By the way, I heard that the Sun sisters two days ago I also went back, it seems that I came back with my parents to worship my ancestors, Sun Erniang, didn’t you contact me? I thought you..."
I was stunned for a moment, and then cursed: "Why did you mention this blind date? You are better informed than me. I didn't even know they had returned to the village! No, holy shit, you thought I was with Sun Erniang?" Went on a blind date?! You damn shrimp, can you think of me? I almost lost my life a while ago! And you even went on a blind date!"
I was so angry that this guy was always so dishonest, but at least he was kind enough, and he was still thinking about my down-and-out brother, and my grandpa and grandma.
"What?! What did you do? Did you let the dog chase you away? Or let Sun Erniang beat you?"
Listen, is this human language?
Just when I was about to scold him, I suddenly remembered something and asked him: "Are you going back to the village? When will you come back? Alone?"
He probably listened to my eager question, so he answered me seriously, "Well, I'm alone. I'll set off tomorrow morning. Take the high-speed train directly to Lancang, and then transfer to the bus. I should be able to catch dinner when I get to the village."
I was suddenly looking forward to this guy's arrival, because at this time, I thought of a very legitimate reason.
For this reason, I specially asked Brother Shuanzi to pick up Tai Qing. The roads in the village are not easy to walk, and most of the means of transportation are motorcycles. There are not many young people of our age like Brother Shuanzi who can’t ride a motorcycle. of.
But at the end of the day, we are all decent citizens with driving licenses. It’s just that I don’t have the strength in my shoulders right now, otherwise I could have borrowed a motorcycle to pick him up myself.
Of course, I told my grandpa and grandma about Tai Qing's coming. The old man said that Xiaomi hadn't been seen for several years, so he would have to stay with me for a while if he came back this time. Seeing how busy they were, they actually asked Uncle Gen and Aunt Li to come to the house together. They killed two chickens, along with a big carp brought by Aunt Li, and bacon hanging at home. Yes, this guy Tai Qing really knows how to catch up with good times.
Since everyone unanimously insisted that my brother was still a wounded man, even washing vegetables was frowned upon by the two chefs, Grandma and Aunt Li, so they could only sit and tease Uncle Gen's big gray dog, washing and picking vegetables. The work fell on Uncle Gen and Grandpa, which made me feel embarrassed.
Until I saw Brother Shuanzi leading a man and a woman into the yard of my house, carrying large and small bags, I was so angry!
That bastard Tai Qing actually brought Tang Keyun here! I couldn't hold back my anger, so I mocked him and said, "Why, the young couple are here for their honeymoon."
The boy shrugged helplessly and smiled, but Brother Shuanzi was hospitable. He glared at me and welcomed the "bad guy and girl" in.
When I entered the courtyard, this girl Tang Keyun actually turned around and gave me a proud smile, as if to say, "Thank you for inviting me to play here."
The boy from Tai Qing had a bitter look on his face at first, and seemed to know that he shouldn't hide this from me. But when he saw grandpa and grandma, the boy's face suddenly brightened up. This smile was so contagious that he immediately The complaints in my heart that shouldn't have been completely eliminated.
Yes, it seems that this girl is obsessed with Xiaomi. As long as they really like her, I will not begrudge my blessing.
It's lively when there are more people, not to mention that Taiqing and I grew up in this village. Although we don't come back often, we are still very close to the big guys in the village. As for Tang Keyun, she is a little girl from a big city. She is beautiful and dignified. She is very popular with Aunt Li and Grandma. Of course, the most valuable thing is that she has no airs and no prejudice against a remote place like ours. , those who are familiar with it will join the team preparing dinner.
Taking advantage of the free time, I quietly walked up to Tai Qing who was moving the table, pulled him to sit down, and then glanced at A Nai and the others. Seeing that no one noticed us, I started to communicate with him in a low voice.
When he saw that I was sneaking around...oh, so cautious, he knew that he had something to discuss with him, so he cooperated and pretended to clean the table, but in fact his thoughts were with me.
"I mean, boy, are you two really getting together? Yes... I didn't ask, let's get down to business." Seeing his awkward and shy posture, I didn't need to ask any more questions, so I stopped him. A huatou that attempts to cover up by explaining.
"My grandma doesn't know about my expulsion from school. Don't let me know. Besides, when you come back this time, I really have something to ask for your help. You kid, don't get too caught up in love. It’s my business.”
He nodded solemnly and asked me what exactly I was going to do. He also asked me about what I said on the phone about almost losing my life.
I didn't hide it from him, and gave a concise account of what I encountered after returning to Dengxing Village. Among them, I still deliberately omitted the incident about the ghost girl. It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that the ghost girl has confessed her existence. No third person must know about it, not even my mother. I also promised her, so no matter who it is, no one will know that my brother is still living in his body. It's a damn thing.
"Brother Tuozi is actually a member of a cult! How is this possible?! If you say that Mrs. Liu is me, I believe it. Brother Tuozi is so good and honest. How could such an honest person be related to a cult? Besides, , since Mrs. Liu has escaped without a trace, how can you be sure that the note was left by her? What if, I mean what if, if this is a trap set by the remnants of the Sancai Association, it is deliberately How about leading you to Huangfeng Village?"
When I thought about it, what this kid said was not unreasonable, but I always felt that the note could not be a trap. The blood stains on it, the ghost girl said, it smelled like Mrs. Liu.
"I don't think this is a trap. The Sancai Association has been suppressed during this period, so I shouldn't be able to distract myself from making trouble. Besides, I am an ordinary poor student. What use are they targeting me? Mrs. Liu, on the other hand, This person seems to have many secrets hidden in him. This time she killed the gluttonous corpse again, and the relationship between the two sides has been forged. It’s just that Mrs. Liu saved my life no matter what, and I still have something to do. Ask her if I must go on this trip."
After I finished speaking, there was a gust of fragrant wind behind me, so I immediately stopped talking, gave Tai Qing a look, and then naturally put my arm around his shoulders, pretending to be chatting and laughing.
"Ah haha, Xiaomi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are becoming more and more handsome. Daniel Wu has to be on an equal footing with you. Hehe, why, have you tasted the bitterness of love?"
I made fun of him, and this kid also cooperated and said: "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? You are not as handsome as you. If you make your debut, you won't have anything to do with Tony Leung."
We complimented each other, which made us happy, but Tang Keyun, who was standing behind, couldn't hold it in any longer.
The girl burst out laughing and couldn't hold it back.
Although she didn't say anything, the two elders of us were blushing because of her laughter. However, Tai Qing still wanted to show off and pretended to be calm: "What are you laughing at? If my brother makes his debut, he will really do it." No need to worry about Tony Leung!"
"Pfft hahaha... That's okay, that's okay. From now on, I will call you brother Zhao Chaowei, and you are Yang Yanzu, hahaha! Ouch, no, ouch, my belly... haha..."
Whenever there is a crack in the ground, I will crawl in immediately!
"What, you want to find a crack in the ground? Well, there is one next to the big gray dog." This damn girl always adds insult to injury when my brother is in trouble!
Let's get rid of the stone. I am often ridiculed by her, mainly because of the matter of going to Huangfeng Village. I think it is better not to involve Tang Keyun. After all, although Tai Qing and the others didn't say it explicitly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were getting better. And I can't guarantee that there will be no danger when we go to Huangfeng Village. I believe Tai Qing will not involve her in this. one of them.
There should still be some secrets between men.
Tang Keyun said that she could no longer get involved with grandma and the others, and seeing that we were sneaking around, she thought of coming over to investigate.
I said we are not underground workers, what are we investigating? It happened that Brother Shuanzi and the others had finished their work at this time, and Grandpa and Uncle Lao Gen also gathered together. We all chatted and laughed until After the two chefs had finished preparing the dishes, they called on everyone to help bring the dishes and rice.
We have an authentic specialty here called ham and papaya chicken. Lancang is located in a mountainous area and is rich in sour papayas. Basically, local residents who own land will grow some grain and raise a few native chickens. Those who are more diligent will raise a few pigs to be slaughtered during the New Year and when doing business. Cook food. Of course, it is unlikely that a freshly killed pig can be eaten in one meal, so there is a practice of retaining part of the pork and marinating it and drying it to become bacon. Among them, the one with the best taste and reputation is undoubtedly the cured ham.
This ham and papaya chicken is not a delicacy now. It’s just that the soil, water, and cuisine vary from place to place, so the taste naturally has its own characteristics. But if you have eaten Lancang’s ham and papaya chicken once, I guarantee you will remember it for the rest of your life. That smell.
Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table: ham and papaya chicken, cold chicken, braised carp, potato ribs soup, cold folded ears with cucumbers, and hunchback rice with the flavor of fireworks, even the Tang beauty was drooling. ,Ha ha.
"After working for a long time, everyone must be starving. Don't be polite to any of us. Let's eat freely. Little girl, don't be shy. Xiaomi is just like our own grandson. Don't take it either. I am an outsider, haha." Grandpa pulled up the stool and said with a smile.
Grandpa is a hospitable person. Not to mention that Tai Qing and Tang Keyun are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but they have nothing to do. As long as Tai Qing and I are friends or classmates, we are all equally enthusiastic.
This makes Tang Keyun a little embarrassed. After all, it is the first time that her relationship with Tai Qing has been publicly revealed. Little girls will inevitably be shy sometimes. But seeing that everyone was a hospitable, kind and sincere elder, she didn't feel uncomfortable with it. She even took the initiative to get up and serve food and wine for everyone, which made Grandma and Aunt Li like it very much.
At the dinner table, everyone talked about Tai Qing and the two of them while eating. After all, among us young men who have not yet married, Tai Qing was the first to lead his girlfriend back to Dengxing Village. In contrast, Shuan Brother Zi, Brother Tuozi, the two niu from Aunt Li’s family, and I are all still single.
As for Tang Keyun, she was the goddess of engineering in school, but my previous understanding of her was limited to the description from Tai Qing and the impression she gave me during the bloody ghost incident. This was the first time I knew that she was also a talkative person. Seeing her and Tai Qing making the grandpa and grandma laugh from ear to ear, I suddenly had the illusion that Xu Lingyu and I were replaced by him. Among the two characters...
"Haha, Xiaomi is so lucky! He found such a beautiful college student girlfriend, how happy this is to Uncle Yazi, hiccup~" As he spoke, he didn't know whether Brother Shuanzi was burping due to fullness or alcohol. belch.
I patted his back and comforted him: "Brother Shuanzi, don't worry. From now on, your girlfriend will be prettier than Xiaomi!"
He grinned and said, "I knew I was saying these nice things, but he was obviously happier than before and even poured me a glass of wine unconsciously."
I looked at the small glass filled with the words "Hello, brothers" in front of me, and smelled the Baogu wine with a strong aroma of wine and grain. All the unwillingness and grievances I had felt well up in my heart, and I suddenly forgot that I was not able to drink enough. So good, I swallowed the whole cup in one gulp.
I don’t know how I got back to bed that night. Later, I only heard Brother Shuanzi and Tai Qing say that after I drank three glasses of Baogu wine in a row, I was discovered by Grandma and Aunt Li when I was still pouring the fourth glass. He drank like water, and quickly came over and snatched away my wine glass. But I was already extremely drunk at that time, and I fell to the ground with a clang, and no one had time to help me...
The most terrible thing is that when the four of them, Tai Qing and Uncle Lao Gen, carried me into the house, they were still mumbling Xu Lingyu’s name and even talked about love and so on. nonsense.
Ever since the beating, Tai Qing and Tang Keyun have always talked about this incident with me, and sometimes used it as an excuse to blatantly "blackmail" me. What a mistake that will lead to eternal hatred!
So everyone, have a small drink to enjoy yourself, but drinking too much will harm your health! Drinking too much is not only harmful to the body, but also sad!
