"So, you have to help uncle. My friend, uncle, to be honest with you, I just want to be with her. I want to go out with her for two days, but I'm afraid she won't agree. If you can accompany her , it can be regarded as uncle helping her solve the problem of not wanting to go out alone. More importantly, you and her can always say a few good words to uncle. In this way, uncle must be able to think about it when the time comes. If things are done, you will definitely be the number one hero of our old Feng family. Besides, you can stay with her during the day and do your homework at night. Don’t worry, I will only go out for two days, and it will not delay your studies. "
Zhou Xiaolu laughed and decisively agreed to Feng Jianguo's request.
Things progressed more smoothly than expected, which made Feng Jianguo secretly happy. As long as Zhou Xiaolu is sold, the old Feng family's property will eventually be surnamed Feng.
More than three hours later, the motorcycle drove into Hushan County. There are mountains all over here, and it takes two trains to get to Grandpa Zhou Xiaolu’s house.
At this time, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the night, and Zhou Xiaolu was already so hungry that her chest was touching her back.
Feng Jianguo parked his car in front of a shop on the roadside, and a woman immediately walked out of it.
Zhou Xiaolu, who was dazed and hungry, jumped off the motorcycle and looked up. Seeing the kind-faced and fashionable woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little more favorable. Then she glanced at Feng Jianguo, her eyes filled with approval. She was secretly praising Feng Jianguo for his good vision.
After Feng Jianguo briefly introduced the two of them, Liao Mei asked them to go in and eat quickly, saying that if they had anything to do, they could talk about it after dinner.
The wind was blowing in the mountains, and Zhou Xiaolu subconsciously tightened her coat.
"Xiaolu is on her monthly vacation and wants to go out for a few days. It's inconvenient for me, a grown man, to take her out. I would like to trouble you to take her out for a casual walk. What do you think?"
Feng Jianguo said this while eating.
Zhou Xiaolu secretly admired Uncle Jianguo for being such a good talker, and then gave him a meaningful look.
Liao Mei also looked at him with a deep look that said nothing, and agreed with great satisfaction.
Seeing how cheerful Liao Mei was, Zhou Xiaolu's eyes became more playful as he glanced at her and Feng Jianguo.
Feng Jianguo and Liao Mei also exchanged glances with uncontrollable surprise.
In the end, the three of them looked at each other and laughed with great satisfaction.
That night, Zhou Xiaolu stayed at the teahouse and Feng Jianguo drove away.
The next day, Zhou Xiaolu got up early to wash up, and was wondering where her future aunt would go for a stroll. Liao Mei said, "Xiaolu, I have an uncle in Jinhua Mountain who I haven't seen for a long time. I wanted to go there before, but never had time. This trip I’ve been away for a few days, and then it’s rare to go out again. Why don’t you accompany me to his place for a visit today, and then go out for a walk later?”
Zhou Xiaolu did not doubt his presence and agreed with a smile.
Only when Zhou Xiaolu arrived at Jinhua Mountain did she realize how difficult it was for Liao Mei to visit her uncle's house.
The two took two buses, had lunch on the way, and finally took a shabby minibus. They drove for a long time and arrived at Jinhua Mountain at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Sister Mei, it's so deserted here." Zhou Xiaolu got out of the car and looked around. All she could see were overlapping mountains, but there were very few people.
"Why, are you afraid that I will sell you?" Liao Mei said with a smile.
Zhou Xiaolu laughed and said, "If you sell me here, I really won't be able to get out alone."
A strange arc formed at the corner of Liao Mei's mouth, and a smile that could not be concealed appeared from the corner of her mouth, but she pointed forward and said: "It's a little deserted here, but fortunately it's quiet. Look, that's me. Uncle’s house.”
Following the direction of her finger, Zhou Xiaolu saw a small tiled house standing alone on the hillside.
Looking at the mountains is tiring. Looking close and walking far away, the two walked along the winding mountain road for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at the door of the house.
"Uncle, aunt, I am Meizi." Liao Mei patted the slightly worn wooden door and shouted loudly.
"Coming... coming." Several replies came from the house, and soon the wooden door creaked open, and an old couple came out.
The woman has a kind face and kind eyes, her hair is combed meticulously, and her temples are gray. The man was thin and looked amiable. He stared at Zhou Xiaolu and asked, "Mei, who is this?"
"The sister of a friend of mine is going out with me for a few days. Before I go out, I will come with her to see you."
The uncle looked like he suddenly understood, and quickly turned sideways and invited the two of them into the house.
Zhou Xiaolu never dreamed that what Liao Mei said would be the code word agreed between her and the old couple. Whenever she said "a friend's sister", it meant that she was selling it.
"Sit, sit. I'll get some water." The aunt greeted the two of them very enthusiastically. Before turning around, she glanced at Zhou Xiaolu's face. After turning around, she gave the old man a very satisfied look.
The four of them sat in the main room and chatted for a while. Liu Mei's uncle said that he was going out for a while, but would be back for dinner. the last ray of
Amid her aunt's greetings, Zhou Xiaolu felt that this damp, cold and drafty mountain village hut didn't seem so cold anymore.
When it was getting dark, my aunt took a piece of Tujia bacon and started cooking.
The smoke from the mountains is curling up, and the sun secretly withdraws the last ray of dim light that shines on the world, and quietly disappears behind the mountains.
With the coming of darkness, my uncle brought back someone.
Zhou Xiaolu felt goosebumps all over her body just by looking at that person.
The man was about forty years old. His hair was fluffy and fluffy, like a bird's nest, and it actually reflected light in the dim light. His nose hair protruded from his nostrils, his teeth were yellow and black, and his clothes were in tatters. You can smell the smell of sauerkraut from a distance.
What's even more terrible is that the way he stared at Zhou Xiaolu looked up and down, revealing a strong and undisguised desire, like a hungry wolf carefully examining the little white rabbit who was about to enter her.
This man's eyes never left Zhou Xiaolu's body after entering the room.
Zhou Xiaolu had never seen such a man before, and was so frightened that she trembled from time to time.
But the man moved a stool and sat next to her. He used his left index finger to press up and down on his philtrum to comb his nose hair. He swallowed from time to time and mumbled something vaguely. : "Okay, so... handsome."
Zhou Xiaolu wanted to cover her mouth and nose, but felt it was impolite to do so, so she could only exhale and inhale through her mouth as much as possible, barely avoiding the smell of pickled vegetables. As for whether the air she breathed was clean or not, she didn't care that much.
She was curious about who this man was and why he was here, but Liao Mei and her uncle both looked at her and the man with smiles and did not introduce them.
The man came over with a smile and asked a lot of questions, such as how old he was, where he lived, and whether he had anyone to date.
Zhou Xiaolu was extremely uncomfortable with it, but she still remained polite and answered him one by one.
The man laughed again as he listened, revealing a mouth full of dirty teeth. There were red peppers and green vegetables in the tooth sockets. His laughter sounded like a crow, which was a bit scary.
Zhou Xiaolu was avoiding it when her aunt came out with dishes and invited everyone to sit down and eat.
Zhou Xiaolu, as if she had been granted amnesty, jumped up with a "whoosh" sound and went to help with the dishes and chopsticks.
After dinner, feeling uncomfortable and feeling like chewed food, Zhou Xiaolu didn't want to see that man anymore, so she asked Liao Mei for help: "Sister Mei, I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep."
Liao Mei glanced at her, then at the man, and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the back room. If you're sleepy, go to bed early and go out early with your sister tomorrow."
After lying on the bed, Zhou Xiaolu could not get rid of that terrible man. Tossing and turning, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.
She ate a lot of bacon at night, and not long after tossing and turning, she felt thirsty, so she got up and wanted to go outside to find water.
But when he pushed the door open, he found that it was motionless. The door was actually locked.
"Okay, why do you need to lock the door?"
Zhou Xiaolu was about to shout for someone to open the door, but suddenly the man's eyes flashed in front of her, as if he wanted to eat her. Zhou Xiaolu, who was about to become an adult, was not ignorant of the things between men and women. Reconnecting with the current scene, a creepy thought suddenly appeared in her mind, which scared her so much that she stopped shouting loudly.
"I may have been sold, and that man is the buyer. Sister Mei is responsible for finding someone, and the old couple is responsible for the transfer and contacting the next home."
In an instant, Zhou Xiaolu basically understood the relationship between the people outside the room.
"Uncle Jianguo and I may have been deceived by Liao Mei." The simple Zhou Xiaolu still believed in her Uncle Jianguo.
"Be calm. Making a scene will only be counterproductive."
Zhou Xiaolu hurriedly said to herself, and then remembered the words her grandfather often taught her: "When encountering problems, use ideas and wisdom."
"Use ideas, wisdom, outsmart... How can we escape from here? The three of them, and I alone, are definitely no match. Even if we leave this house, we don't know the way. If we want to get out, we just have to If they can take me out, which of them will take me out? Why should they take me out? Why should they take me out?"
Not only did Zhou Xiaolu's mind start to spin, she also kept walking around in this small room.
Slowly, she thought of a way. Although she didn't know if it would work, she could only take a gamble.
With the method ready to try, Zhou Xiaolu became less and less panicked. He raised his eyes and looked around the small room again, and found that there was an inconspicuous little door in the corner. When I opened it, I saw a small storage room filled with winter clothes.
Leaning in, I found that this storage room was a dead end, not to mention an exit, and there wasn't even a window for ventilation.
"I have no choice but to take risks and try my luck."
Zhou Xiaolu sighed secretly, but at this moment, she vaguely heard the conversation coming from the other side of the wall.
It turns out that this small room is connected to the main room, and the sound insulation effect is very poor. As long as you stick to the wall, you can hear the conversation in the main room.
