Chapter three hundred and fiftieth chapters strange children cry
We all felt strange. Is she reminding us that there is danger in the village, or does she feel that there is not much food left and want us to share it with her?
Shen Bing walked back and asked as he walked, "What's wrong?"
The woman turned around and crawled back as she was at the beginning, huddled behind the big tree, looking very afraid that we would get close to her.
Lu Fei sighed and said, "Don't pay attention to her. She may not be very clear about her mind. Let's go into the village."
Shen Bing looked at the woman with pity, then walked back, followed everyone on the mountain path and entered the village. Now the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the slope is already very deep, and it is quite slippery to walk. We stopped at the first house in the east end of the village. Everyone in the village has a yard, but they do not build the main gate. They just built a simple and low wall with stones, leaving a gap in the middle, which is considered the yard gate.
We went straight into the yard and arrived at the door of the house. Lu Fei shouted in a local accent: "Is there anyone at home?"
With a creaking sound, the door opened, and a dark old man's face popped out from inside. He looked at us, his eyes full of vigilance, and asked, "Which village from you, what are you asking for?"
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Uncle, we came from Taigu. We went to the village ahead to see a relative. When we walked here, it snowed heavily and wanted to stay for a night."
"Slam" the door closed. This old man was so generous, so he just turned him away!
Lu Fei didn't give up and shouted at the door: "Uncle, let's give money..."
The lights in the house were also gone, so it was obvious that you should invite them. We had to come out from here and enter the second family.
The second one opened the door with a sister-in-law. Anyway, the women in the mountains couldn't tell how old they were, but they looked quite honest.
Lu Fei learned his lesson this time and took out two hundred yuan first. Although the money is not too much, some people here have never seen such a large denomination.
"Sister-in-law, we want to spend money on your house."
"Get out!" This sister-in-law was even more generous and sang to us. The door of the house was closed with a "slam" but it opened immediately. The sister-in-law stretched out her head from the inside and cursed, "XXX, I actually used a big food coupon to cheat me." Then she turned her head and closed the door tightly.
We all stared at each other with laughter and tears. This sister-in-law is funny enough. She really doesn't know the hundred-dollar bill. She actually said that it was a large number of tickets. Is there any other thing now? Besides, the food coupon is so big? It turns out that she didn't even know the food coupon before.
Wang Zijun is so happy. How could he not be happy to see his love rival being scolded? Lu Fei was so blushed when he was laughing. He took out a few ten-yuan bills from his wallet, and then went to the door of the next house to knock on the door.
As a result, I left several houses in a row, but refused to stay overnight. Some of them didn't open the door directly and turned off the lights when they heard a knock on the door.
We stood dejectedly on the village path, all turned into snowmen. Although we were all wearing down jackets, the climate on the mountain was not ordinary cold. Shen Bing and Qu Mo both had their faces purple and kept trembling. If we couldn't find someone to take us in, we could only go back to the car and make do with it for the night.
I think it’s a bit strange that the villagers are so indifferent to outsiders. It’s impossible that they are all heartless and keep people from getting thousands of miles away in a cold weather? Suddenly I remembered the shout of the woman at the head of the village. Is there really something happening in the village that makes the villagers dare not let outsiders enter the house?
But I have to say that my buddy is smart. After walking a few steps forward, I saw a small shop. Although the door was closed, the lights came out from the crack of the door panel. The person inside must have not slept. Besides, it was still early now, it was only seven o'clock.
I stepped forward and knocked on the door. The owner of the shop was a man in his thirties. He saw that he was not from the village and wanted to close the door. I pushed the door and smiled, "Let's buy something and leave."
"What to buy?"
I leaned my head and looked at the shelves inside. Some cigarettes and liquor were covered with dust. It must be because the price was more expensive and it was hard to sell. I pointed to the cigarettes and liquor over there and said, "I want three bottles of liquor and five packs of cigarettes."
The boss was stunned and immediately let us in. He wrapped himself in a shabby military coat and didn't close the door. He thought I had left after buying something, so he quickly slipped into the counter. It was quite warm inside, with a charcoal brazier on the ground. Shanxi's most insecurity is coal, which is very heat-burning.
I took the tobacco and alcohol and didn't pay the bill, and said to him: "We have taken the wrong path and can't find a place to live. I want to drink the wine and warm up the body before leaving. Can you?"
The boss's eyes rolled around, and we wouldn't buy it if we didn't agree. He nodded reluctantly and said, "Drink and leave quickly." He muttered something, and ran out of the counter to put on the door panel.
I gave them a wink, and everyone squatted on the ground and opened the wine. The boss was very tactful and took five large and thin bowls of red flowers, pouring one bowl to drink. Although we didn't say anything, everyone knew in their hearts that it was so warm here that we might as well stay the whole thing, drink more wine, and then buy food and wait for him until dawn.
The boss sat at the counter and stared at us without saying anything. There was only the charcoal brazier in the room occasionally making noises. Suddenly, a cry broke through the tranquility of the house, and we were all shocked. We turned to look at the direction of the sound and saw that there was an inner room on the left, with a shiny black and shiny bed sheet hanging on the door, and the boss's wife and children must be inside.
After the crying, the child kept crying. He sounded like a baby, but the crying sound was weird no matter how hard he heard it, the sound was too ugly. It was like a knife scraping an iron plate, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
The boss frowned, looking very impatient, and shouted at the inner room: "Let this dead boy shut up, you will cry and howl all day long. If you scream, throw him into the valley."
Shanxi dialect is spoken too quickly, and we didn't understand it for a while. Lu Fei whispered to translate it for us. Shen Bing and Qu Mo immediately showed resentment. Isn't it normal for a child to cry? This bastard is too bad.
I looked at Lu Fei, but I didn't think so. The child's crying was so evil. I always felt frightened and had an ominous premonition. Lu Fei and Wang Zijun also tilted their heads to look at the door of the inner room, and seemed to notice something was wrong.
The curtain suddenly opened, and a woman walked out of it with her cradle in her arms, crying and said, "Great Kingdom, look at him, he has shit again. If he continues like this, he will have to kill his life!"
As soon as this woman came out, I suddenly felt a cold breath coming to my face, but then it was melted by the warmth of the charcoal fire in the room.
"Just pull it, just keep such incompetent things and throw them away." The boss shouted angrily.
I really felt something was wrong, so I stood up, Lu Fei and Wang Zijun also followed him. Although Qu Mo was still squatting, he stared at the child and suddenly his face changed!
