Faced with my question, Ling Ruxue hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have been here before, once every five years, not just me, but also people from the other three villages."

Have you been here before? And you have to come here every five years? As far as I know, Ling Ruxue is 2 years older than a month ago and is 24 years old today. If you count since she was a child, hasn’t she already been to this village 4 times?

Even if I don't show up, will she come to this village next year? What kind of secrets are hidden among these villages? But this Black Rock Miao Village is obviously a devil's village known for its evil?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help blurting out: "Ling Ruxue, Black Rock Miao Village is such an evil village, why do you come here again and again? Can you tolerate some bad things happening under your nose without stopping anything? ?Are you so indifferent?"

Facing my question, Ling Ruxue was just very calm and looked at me unusually calmly. It wasn't until she made me uncomfortable that she said: "You are indeed a willful and impulsive man. No, you should be a man." Child."

What do you mean? She seems to know me very well. I felt angry in my heart. Her words clearly meant that I was naive, but I can be naive in front of anyone, but I didn't want her to think so, not to mention that I am already 26 years old. .

I said: "Ling Ruxue, please don't change the subject. I'm talking about a big issue of right and wrong. What are you doing to me? This is not willful or impulsive, but my master said that those of us who have inherited People who have different things should have a sense of justice in their hearts!"

"Oh? Really?" Ling Ruxue's face flashed with impatience, and then she said: "You know what we didn't do?"

I was stunned, yes, how much can I understand? When I thought of this, I became a little decadent. Could it be that I was really naive? Under impulse, I no longer beat around the bush?

"Remember what I said. No matter what you see, don't ask too much. Talk more. We'll talk about it all when we get to Heiyan Miao Village." Ling Ruxue seemed to not want to say anything to me anymore. She turned around and walked to the front, walking straight towards the village. But I had mixed feelings in my heart, and the more I tried to express myself in front of this girl, the more clumsy I became.

But now was not the time to think about these things. I put down Hui Gen'er and woke him up. Then I took Hui Gen'er, who was still a little dazed, and followed Ling Ruxue's footsteps.

—————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————

When I walked into this small village, my first impression of this place was that it was poor, very poor!

Most of the houses here are thatched houses made of mud and thatch. The worse ones don't even have thatched houses, they are just bark houses. If there are any gaps in the roof, just cover them with plastic sheets and use stones to weigh them down. , when the wind blows, the plastic sheet whistles, and even standing outside, I can feel the air and rain leaking from all sides inside.

I have never seen such a poor place elsewhere. Maybe it’s because I have a poor imagination. It’s really hard for me to imagine that in the 1990s, in China, which was developing rapidly, such a village still existed.

Is it because of the closed geography? When I saw the people in this village wearing dirty clothes, even half-clothed, I couldn't help but feel very emotional, and I couldn't help but look for the reason.

But soon, I discovered a strange thing, that is, the people in this village seemed to be very lazy. Ruxue and I walked into this village and walked through most of the village, but we didn’t even see anyone doing anything.

Working people.

These villagers were either squatting at the base of the wall doing nothing, or wandering around the dirt roads in the village wearing dirty clothes.

Moreover, I also discovered that in this village, there is no land in and outside the village, and the land is also planted with grains and vegetables that are almost submerged by weeds. This shows that they are still farmers who make a living by farming, but this field is obviously

Just neglected to take care of it.

Could it be that they really live like this every day? Wandering around? Or squatting at the wall in a daze?

Undoubtedly, this village is filled with a feeling of laziness and decadence. This feeling makes me feel very uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than the infinite reincarnation of the dead village I once saw. After all, there is hope of breaking through the infinite reincarnation. This village

The atmosphere here is undoubtedly one of despair.

What kind of despair is it? The kind of lifeless despair where life is like this, without any changes.

I am not willing to believe this fact, because in my impression, farmers are all hard-working. No matter whether they live in poverty or not, it cannot change their hard-working. I couldn't help but ask Ling Ruxue: "This village is full of hard-working people."

Do you make a living by hunting?”

"No." Ling Ruxue answered simply, without explaining anything. This feeling almost drove me crazy.

But I couldn't ask any more questions, because when I entered the village early in the morning, Ling Ruxue told me that no matter what weird things you see, don't ask too much, let alone talk too much.

The villagers were not at all curious about our arrival, and it was hard for me to imagine that in a closed village, people would come often! Because only in villages where strangers often appear, people would be surprised.

Relatively isolated villages are always full of curiosity about outsiders, including my hometown. At that time, if a city dweller came, the villagers would always watch.

But will people come to this village often? Absolutely not, even on the difficult road, it is impossible!

So why did the people in this village behave like this? I saw that their expressions and their eyes were all as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and that feeling of depression and despair resurfaced in my heart again.

It's already afternoon. It's unrealistic for the three of us to go to the next village. We are destined to stay in this village tonight, but facing such villagers, I really don't want to stay here.

In frustration, I took out a cigarette. Before I lit it, I noticed a villager who was sitting under a big tree and taking a nap walking toward me.

The clothes were also dirty, and his hair had not been washed for who knows how long. It was as messy as a bird's nest. He walked up to me, smiled, showing his yellow and black teeth, and then said to me directly: "

Give me a few cigarettes to smoke."

I frowned slightly, not because I disliked this middle-aged man for being dirty, but because I had never met a stranger who asked for something so confidently.

Ling Ruxue was very calm, as if she had known about this situation for a long time.

As for Hui Gen'er, he has no idea about human relationships. When someone asks him for something, there are only two choices: whether he is willing to give it or not. He doesn't think too much about it.

I am a person who is not good at rejecting people. Looking at this middle-aged man, or an old man, I felt that there was nothing wrong with a few cigarettes, so I gave him the remaining half pack, and he took the cigarette.

He smiled, turned around and left without saying thank you.

I couldn't help but stop him. After all, I had to stay here tonight. I asked: "Uncle, we are passing by here and want to stay here tonight. Do you know which family here is convenient for us to stay?"

The man was smelling the cigarette greedily. When he heard my question, he turned around and said to me strangely: "Who do you call uncle?"

I was stunned, was there anyone else here? However, rural people tend to look older, and I don’t think anyone would like to be called an old man, so I scratched my head in embarrassment and shouted: "Uncle, I

"

"What's the matter with you? Are you an uncle and an uncle at the same time? I'm only 28 years old. How can I become an uncle or an uncle?" The man said unceremoniously, but he didn't seem to be in very good health.

It looks like he keeps coughing while talking.

28 years old? I stared blankly at the man in front of me. I couldn’t believe that a 28-year-old man, who was only two years older than me, could have aged like this!

I really wanted to ask something, but I immediately saw Ruxue gently shaking her head at me. I could only keep silent and didn't know what to say next.

The man didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "You want to stay overnight, right? My house is fine. I'll let you stay for fifty yuan. You can add ten yuan to eat. If you want to eat meat, you'll pay ten yuan."

Yuan.”

I find it amazing that such a remote village and such lazy villagers can have such a sense of money. Even if they have money, where will they spend it? And they can be so open-minded. You know, in 1993,

Fifty yuan is definitely not a small amount for a farmer.

Besides, if they are like this, they still have meat to eat?

I have more and more questions about this village, and I want to find out more about it.

Depending on the situation, I probably had no other choice, and I still had some money, so facing this villager who was so aggressive with me, I said, "Okay, you can lead the way."
