At the dinner table, Dawu rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Have a try, they are all freshly cooked."
"Ouch." I sniffed in feigned surprise, "Is this my sister-in-law's craftsmanship?"
Dawu looked startled, but he still kept smiling: "Where did a rural bachelor come from?"
When I heard this, I quickly gave a thumbs up: "Brother, your craftsmanship is great!"
While eating, I took out a handkerchief from my pocket. This handkerchief was double-sewn and had an opening at one end.
It looked like I was putting the food in my mouth, but it was actually held under my tongue.
Pretend to chew a few times, pretend to wipe your mouth, and then spit the food in.
This village is full of suspicions, how can I dare to eat their food?
But if I don't eat, it will definitely arouse the other person's vigilance.
In desperation, I had no choice but to make this decision.
Dawu held the vegetable in his mouth, the vegetable juice dripping down his chin, and smiled at me: "City people are very particular!"
I just smiled and didn't say much.
The meal was eaten quickly, and I hurried back to the room, feeling tired from the journey.
The moment I stepped out of the door, I suddenly noticed several pairs of women's shoes under the shoe rack.
The style of this shoe is not old, it should be a product of recent years.
Didn't Dawu say that there are no women in his family?
I kept these doubts in my mind and turned around and walked out the door.
The room that Dawu arranged for us was a wing room, with a rectangular fire pit running through the whole room, and several thick mattresses piled in the corner.
After entering the house, I bolted the door and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"
Chen Jiayan waved to me, leaned on my shoulder, and whispered, "It seems like someone is watching us."
"Huh?" I asked warily, "Where is it?"
I followed Chen Jiayan's finger and looked at the curtain: "Is it outside the window?"
"Um."
I hesitated for a moment, put my hand on the edge of the curtain, and then slowly put it down.
Don't you want to stare at me?
Then I will let you see enough!
I wish you could do something to save me the trouble.
Turning around, I took out a dark bamboo tube from my backpack and placed it gently in the corner: "Use this when you go to the toilet."
Chen Jiayan's eyes widened: "Is there something wrong with you?"
"I-I'm going to the bathroom in the house?"
I sat down next to her: "The rules left by our ancestors are never about poverty."
There are three essential things for the older generation of Jianghu people, including a chamber pot.
I am not familiar with the place, so I usually walk alone at night. If someone is planning to kill someone, my companions will not be able to detect it.
Hence the tradition of carrying a chamber pot with you.
This is the experience summed up with blood by the older generation, you can’t believe it!
After finally getting Chen Jiayan to accept going to the bathroom in the house, I forced myself to sleep on the same kang as Chen Jiayan.
Chen Jiayan was quite calm. She just pulled a thread with the quilt in the middle and slept on each side.
I looked at the time, turned off the light, took out my phone, and gently clicked on the recording.
A loud snoring sound immediately came from the phone.
With the faint light of the mobile phone, I could clearly see the surprise on Chen Jiayan's face.
I stretched hard and said, "Before I went out, I recorded Ji Canghai's snoring."
She covered her mouth with the quilt and asked angrily: "You are like a magician."
I chuckled: "Go to bed quickly, maybe tonight will be uneventful."
Including purring, I did everything to relax the vigilance of the villagers.
I just want to see what they will do after I fall asleep.
The village is very quiet at night, and even the sound of leaves moving across the windowsill is very clear.
Chen Jiayan had fallen asleep peacefully, and I was half asleep and half awake amidst Ji Canghai's snoring.
In the middle of the night, rustling footsteps suddenly sounded in the yard.
Judging from these footsteps, he must not be alone.
I opened my eyes immediately, wishing I could put an antenna in my ear and listen carefully to the sounds outside.
"have you slept?"
"I slept like a dead pig inside."
…
There were voices of a man and a woman outside the window, and the dead pig was naturally talking about me.
"After a few days, let's wait for the two of them..."
Their voices were getting farther and farther away, and before I could hear the words clearly, I heard the sound of the courtyard door.
I really want to know what they will do in the next few days.
