Staying Overnight

There is a saying that "on a white dew night, the autumn breeze will cool down the night." The white dew has passed, and the temperature in the north has begun to drop "swiftly".

It was evening, the sun had just set over the Western Mountains, and there was already a chill in the area near the mountains.

We were wearing autumn clothes and trousers inside, and camouflage clothes outside. Even so, the car stopped at the entrance of the village. When we got off the car, when the cold wind from the mountains blew over, we still couldn't help but get goosebumps.

People breathed in the air-conditioning in a "shashasha" manner.

During the busy autumn harvest season, the whole village is full of grains to be dried.

After a busy day, many aunts gathered at the entrance of the village. Each of them had bulging pockets and carried fragrant fried melon seeds. They crackled the melon seeds while chatting happily. They saw that there were already piles on the ground.

After picking up a thick layer of melon seed peels, I knew that this "symposium" had been going on for a long time, and it was estimated that everyone in the entire Miaoshang Village from the beginning to the end of the village had talked about everything.

As soon as I got closer, I saw an aunt sitting in the middle wearing a red woolen coat sniffing and saying: "Hey, have you heard? Today there are two more, which makes it a hundred and eighty."

Are you ready? I heard that all the people working on the construction site in the county town have gone out, and there are not many people left!"

"What? It's only seventy or eighty!"

Another aunt in a blue scarf rolled her eyes and said: "My son works in the county, and he said that there are now six to seven hundred people. What a sin, you say they are all in one group."

The working men are so poor, why are they being arrested?"

"Look at what you said, just because a person is poor and has no money doesn't mean he is worthless!"

The aunt in the red woolen coat rolled her eyes. She seemed very unhappy with the aunt's rejection of her statement. She felt that her authority had been challenged. She stretched her head forward, lowered her voice and released another bombshell news.

: "Hey, have you heard about it? Those who arrested these people were a group of kidney cutters. They said that the old men at the construction site were very powerful and the kidneys were valuable. When they were arrested, they went after those two kidneys and cut them to dry.

It is the best medicinal material, and those rich men eat this kidney powder, saying it is a great tonic!"

This statement immediately won the praise of the whole house, and many aunts around immediately nodded in agreement.

The vanity of the red-coat lady was immediately satisfied, and she withdrew her head with a smile. As soon as she turned around, she saw me squatting next to her, listening, and immediately said suspiciously: "Hey, this young man is quite unfamiliar, why don't you come with us?"

What's this for?"

"Seeing that Auntie was having a lively chat, I came over to listen."

I smiled and said, "By the way, what are you talking about?"

As soon as the gossip was mentioned, the aunt became interested and said: "It's not a missing persons case in the county. Over in our county, many migrant workers have disappeared. They are all from the construction site.

Gentlemen, there are quite a few people missing, but don’t listen to the nonsense of that old woman from the Wang family. There are six or seven hundred people, not that many. The top news I heard here is that there are only a hundred and eighty people. I heard it’s a county

Here comes a heartless waist cutter, who is apparently going to attack these outsiders..."

I pursed my lips and almost laughed.

I thought to myself that Aunt Wang is not reliable, but you are reliable?

Even if one hundred and eighty people disappeared inexplicably, it would be a big deal. The county town was probably already in a state of panic. When we passed by Huaihe, we didn't seem to be very nervous!

I grew up in a mountainous area, and I know very well about the urinary properties of these aunts. Well, there must be such a thing, but it is definitely not such an exaggeration. They still cut their waists to make Chinese medicinal materials. Grandpa Tian, ​​this

What era is it, and it’s not the end of the Qing Dynasty. Who still believes in this stuff now? Why bother to sue for a life for a small amount of money? It’s true that your head is stuck in your belt. What kind of activity can you do that can’t make more money than this kind of activity?

?

However, I didn’t refute the aunt. No way, I fell in love with this aunt as soon as I entered the village. She is the leader of the female comrades in the village. Such an aunt has a wide range of connections. She can handle everything in the country.

You know, it's okay to offend.

So, I smiled and walked over and said, "Auntie, we are here for a trip, and we happened to pass by our place. It is getting late, and I am looking for a place to stay first. Is there a hotel in the village?"

The aunt rolled her eyes: "How can there be any hotel in this poor mountain ravine?"

Just waiting for your words!

Can I know if there is a hotel?

I secretly thought, then gave Zhang Xinya a look, and said with a smile: "Do you have any spare room at home? Let's just spend the night and have a hot meal."

On the other side, Zhang Xinya has already counted out several red tickets.

Having been in the ravines all year round, we know these aunts very well.

Sure enough, when the aunt saw the red note, she immediately beamed. While pulling the red note from Zhang Xinya's hand, she said: "Look at you, a young man, why are you so polite? There is only one thing in our village - hospitality."

! We have come all the way here, why should we give you any money? Really, who do you think we simple villagers are!"

As he spoke, he pointed at my nose and warned me with a fierce look: "Don't do this next time!"

I nodded repeatedly.

Immediately, the aunt took my hand and walked towards the village.

The aunt behind her, wrapped in a blue headscarf, was chewing melon seeds and gritted her teeth and said: "This damn old woman, what kind of luck has she got? She really thinks she is a five-star hotel with those two shabby houses."

!”

In fact, the house of this red-coat aunt is not shabby at all.

My aunt’s surname is Yang, so we call her Aunt Yang.

In the past two years, the state has provided good subsidies for farming and other things. Life in Aunt Yang's family is still good. The two large tile-roofed houses in the yard are brand new, with red bricks and blue tiles, and bright and clean windows.

Her husband, whose surname is Zhou, is also a middle-aged man in his fifties. He is pouring freshly harvested corn sticks in the yard, and he is very enthusiastic.

The aunt arranged us into the house next to her, saying that it was the house of her son and daughter-in-law. The couple worked in the county town. The house was not big and the kang was not small. She said that we could squeeze in even if we made do.

I have to say that this Aunt Yang is much kinder than the one we met in Mentougou Village. She has a very good attitude towards making money. After taking the money, she felt that just a few hundred yuan for such a house was a bit expensive, so she said that they

The mountains are also a bit interesting. We might as well stay a few more days. She doesn’t charge us any money for food and drink. She just lets us eat and drink with them. Then she started to get busy uncontrollably. She brought us a lot of bedding and said,

They were prepared when his son got married. They are all new and unused.

Then she left, saying she was going to cook. Seeing that we had been running around all day, she wanted to have an early dinner today.

After she left, I took out my mobile phone and started reading the news. This place is just next to Yanshan Mountain, but not in the real mountains. There is internet and signal, which is quite convenient.

I am still thinking about what Auntie and the others were talking about. The main reason is that before I left, Qingzhu said that I have some fate with the Yan Kingdom. This was seen by Ni Bodhisattva, but I can’t tell whether the fate is good or bad.

, but after I get here, some abnormalities may occur.

Therefore, I pay special attention to any slightest movement.

Don't tell me, what the aunt said is really not a piece of gossip. I just looked through the county news and immediately found the relevant information...
