Entered the town.

It was dark all around, and decades later, it was only around eight o'clock, and there was no light anywhere.

But at the moment, there are no electric lights in the entire town, and there are no street lights either. Let alone lights, there may not even be a single electric pole nearby for more than ten miles.

If Gu Siwei puts it, the whole town is almost like a ghost town.

"Dad Liu, shall we stay in a hotel?" Gu Siwei asked subconsciously.

"hotel?"

Liu Fulin didn't understand that for Liu Fulin, the word "stay in a hotel" didn't exist at all. In his mind, he just meant "stay in a hotel".

The hotel we stayed in was also a Datong Hotel. Of course, in Gu Siwei’s mind, if we were to stay in a hotel like Four Seasons, it would be a Datong Hotel? I had never heard of that thing.

"Oh, you said you would stay in a hotel, but we won't stay there," Liu Fulin said with a smile.

Gu Siwei just wanted to ask, then we can't stay up all night on the street at night, right?

If it were summer, Liu Fulin could really stay up all night with Gu Siwei, but it was impossible to stay up this season.

"I'll take you to my cousin's house to stay one night," Liu Fulin said, "When you get into the house later, don't say anything, just listen to me."

Gu Siwei nodded and followed Liu Fulin to his cousin's house.

There are hardly a few brick houses in the whole town. Most of them are the same as Zhuangzi, with earthen walls and thatched roofs. Occasionally there is a place for building bricks. There are special names at the door. Many people coming in and out are wearing Chinese tunic suits and carrying them in their pockets.

Other pens of public figures.

Arriving at the door of a thatched cottage, Liu Fulin reached out and patted the door.

"Cousin, I am Fulin!"

After taking several shots in a row, Gu Siwei heard some movement in the yard.

Then a ray of light came through the crack in the door, which was the light from a kerosene lamp.

The light swayed through the cracks and stopped behind the door.

"Liu Fulin?"

"Cousin, it's me," Liu Fulin said.

This conversation made Gu Siwei a little confused, because the voice coming from the room seemed a bit young.

Squeak!

The door is open.

Before the people came out first, the lamp came out first.

Seeing the face behind the lamp, Gu Siwei felt a little uncomfortable again.

Because the person holding the lamp looked to be in his early twenties and no more than thirty years old, Gu Siwei thought to himself: Is this Liu Fulin's cousin?

"Cousin!"

Liu Fulin smiled and shouted to the young man.

"It's really a Forint."

The young cousin grinned.

"yes".

"Come into the house, come into the house. What is this?"

The young cousin saw Gu Siwei and asked quickly.

There is no way, Gu Siwei is too outstanding. With this head and appearance, to be honest, even if he were placed on the street during the temple fair, he would stand out from the crowd. Forty years later, if he were thrown into a colorful place with colorful lights, he would be outstanding just by his face.

The owner who can buy a house.

At this time, Gu Siwei was still immersed in the level of his young cousin and his older cousin, and did not understand what he was asking at all.

"Gu Siwei is from our village, you can just call him Siwei," Liu Fulin said with a smile.

"Everyone comes in, everyone comes in."

Gu Siwei felt Liu Fulin kick him lightly, and he came to his senses and followed Liu Fulin into the yard.

This yard is much smaller than the yard of Gu Siwei's house, only about 200 square meters.

As soon as I reached the middle of the yard, I heard the door of the main room open, and a woman's voice came out: "Who is here?"

"It's Fulin from Shimo Village."

"oh"

Hearing what the young cousin said, the female voice that was originally filled with enthusiasm suddenly became cold.

Liu Fulin didn't seem to hear the displeasure in her tone, and still smiled and said: "Auntie, it's me, Liu Fulin."

"Um!"

The woman responded a little silently. Before she could even finish her hum, she turned around and returned to the house.

The young cousin may or may not be a little embarrassed at the moment, but it's dark and it's hard to see the expression on his face clearly.

He took Liu Fulin and Gu Siwei to the side room on the west side, opened the door and led them in.

There is a bed in the side room. The small bed is almost narrower than the standard 1.5-meter bed in the future. The bed is covered with straw mats. In addition to the bed, there are some rags in the room. There is a car leaning against the corner.

wheelbarrow.

The room is a bit messy. Except for the place where you can stretch your legs, everything else is put away. From now on, this place will be just a utility room at most.

But today may be the place where Gu Siwei and Liu Fulin take a nap.

"I'll get you a quilt."

"Cousin, I also brought you some things. They are not good things, they are just things that grow in the ground...".

As Liu Fulin spoke, he rubbed the basket on his back and took out a bag from it. The bag was made of cloth and had a few patches on it.

It was too dark, and Gu Siwei couldn't see what was in the bag.

However, Liu Fulin and his young cousin started pushing. After three or two trips, the young cousin reluctantly took the things away and repeatedly asked not to do this next time.

The young cousin took the bag and went out. After about ten minutes, he came over with a quilt. Not to mention the thickness, Gu Siwei looked at the quilt more than he saw the Zhuangzi people.

There are still many patches.

And as soon as I put it on the bed, a faint bad smell came out.

"Is it cold?"

My cousin expressed concern.

"That's enough, that's enough," Liu Fulin said with a smile.

Gu Siwei: "...".

After a few words that were not nutritious, the young cousin left, and Gu Siwei and Liu Fulin were discussing how to sleep.

There was nothing to say. Don't even think about taking off your clothes. Originally, Liu Fulin wanted to give the quilt to Gu Siwei, but Gu Siwei had no interest in covering him with such a quilt.

You say that whether Gu Siwei is being pretentious or that he doesn't know how to catch him, he won't be able to cover himself with this kind of quilt.

Liu Fulin didn't say much. He didn't take off his clothes either. He was lying down with his clothes on and just used the quilt to cover his stomach.

The two of them ate a piece of pancake and pork strips before entering the village. There was no need for late-night snacks, so they just lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Gu Siwei was curled up at one end and Liu Fulin was curled up at the other end. He didn't know whether he was asleep or not, but it was difficult for Gu Siwei to fall asleep.

He didn't sleep, and it was quiet at night, so Gu Siwei listened very clearly to the conversation between his young cousin and his aunt Liu Fulin in the neighboring house.

It could also be that the woman told Liu Fulin and Gu Siwei on purpose, but her tone of voice was quite serious anyway.

There was nothing nice to say. The woman complained that Liu Fulin didn't bring anything good when he came, but the young cousin made some peace with him.

To be honest, Gu Siwei really wanted to go out right now, but when he saw Liu Fulin, he didn't know whether he was asleep or pretending to be asleep, so he had to pretend not to hear in embarrassment.

People had objections originally, so naturally it was impossible to have breakfast here the next day.

At dawn, Liu Fulin took Gu Siwei and his cousin to say goodbye.

The two of them carried baskets on their backs and came to the street. At this time, the street was covered with a layer of fog. Not to mention not a single human figure, not many dogs.

Moreover, the dogs didn't bark much at this time. I don't know whether it was because they were too hungry to bark, or because the local dogs here didn't like barking very much. Anyway, Gu Siwei walked all the way, and the dogs almost ignored him and Liu Fulin.

.

"Wait a moment, the store will open soon."

Hearing what Liu Fulin said, Gu Siwei looked up and found a sign above his head with six characters written on it: State-owned Qushan Hotel.

The front door is about two meters long, with the words "State-owned" in blue on a blue background and the words "Qushan Hotel" in black on a white background.

The door of the hotel is now locked, but the crack in the door is quite large, and Gu Siwei cannot get in. But for a teenage boy, it would probably not be difficult to get in.

Through the crack in the door, you can see several old tables in the store. There is a dining window at the end, which cannot be seen further away.
