chug-
After walking on this potholed road for more than half an hour, a sound came from behind him. He turned his head and saw a tractor coming, emitting black smoke, behind the tractor. Some twigs were pulled in the carriage, which almost filled the whole car.
"From your village?"
The driver of the tractor was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was dressed in shabby clothes, probably intentionally. If it becomes shabby clothes, it is better to just wear shabby clothes, as long as it is dirty and torn, it is shabby anyway.
"It's not from your side, it's just walking around and traveling."
Xiao Ran explained with a smile.
"Travel? I really don't understand you young people more and more. Get in the car! I will take you for a while. When you reach the fork in front of you, you can go wherever you want, but there is a place called Huai Village in front of you. It’s best not to go there, the people there are very strange and very xenophobic. Some people have been to that village and said that the village doesn’t like foreigners very much. Originally, some people had relatives in that village who would go to pay New Year’s greetings every New Year, but recently Not gone for several years.
The weirdest thing is that we have never seen people from that village go to the market. They are self-sufficient in food and use. Even some town cadres went to their village to do some ideological work, but no one cooperated. It's over, and anyone who has been to that village will be seriously ill when they come out. Over time, no one goes there. Up to now, no one knows what the situation in that village is like. "
The uncle lit a cigarette, took a good puff, and reminded Xiao Ran.
"Thank you."
Xiao Ran propped himself on the edge of the tractor carriage with one hand, turned over, and sat on the branches of the carriage. He moved his body to make himself a comfortable position, half-lyed on the branch, and chatted with the uncle stand up.
About 10 to [-] minutes later, the tractor stopped, and Xiao Ran also saw a fork in the road ahead, one was a very ordinary gravel road, and that gravel road had an obvious downhill section. It spreads downward, not knowing where it leads.
The other is the asphalt road, which is the road they are taking now.
"Dashu, is the Huai Village you mentioned earlier going through this road?"
After the uncle stopped the tractor, Xiao Ran jumped off the tractor and asked.
"Yes, just go straight along this road. It's about seven or eight miles away. The second village is also the last village. Are you really going to that village?"
The uncle hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiao Ran and asked.
"I'm just going to take a look around, uncle bye."
Xiao Ran smiled, and then walked in along the gravel road.
The gravel road should have been repaired. Although it looks a little rough, it is very flat. There is no problem with riding a bicycle. The width of the road can also be passed by a car. Need to be careful.
Coming from that road, it is indeed a big slope with a vertical height of about 20 meters.
But after going downhill, the front is flat. Tall trees are planted on both sides of the road, and through the trees is a field. There are people working hard in the field. After walking two miles, there is a big village ahead. .
There are six rows in this village, and dozens of families live in each row.
But at the end of the village, that is, when the dirt road leads deeper, the road changes and looks narrower. The weeds on both sides of the road have grown on the road, and the road has become potholed. There are traces of water washing everywhere, and some weeds are growing.
It is not difficult to see from here that very few people come out of the village in front of them, and few people go to that village. Otherwise, if the wheels run over and people pass by, it is impossible to grow grass on the road.
He just glanced at the dirt road lightly, and then his gaze fell into the distance, as if he could see through the void and see things that others couldn't see, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a faint smile: "Interesting, how about you?" What an interesting village."
"Young man, are you going to Huai Village?"
Just as Xiao Ran was taking big steps to continue walking along this path that had turned into a dirt road, an old voice came from beside him.
He turned his head and saw that it was at the door of the first household in the last row of the village. An old man about 80 years old was sitting on a stone pier, smoking a dry cigarette, puffing out circles of smoke. Looking at his deeply wrinkled face, he looked like a respected old man in the village.
"Yes, I heard that the village is a bit weird, so I'm going to have a look."
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
"Young man, I advise you not to go. You can get in and out of that village. In the past, people would fall ill after going to that village. But in the past year, many people have gone to that village. But it never came out again."
The old man tapped the dry cigarette butt on the stone pier, refilled some shredded tobacco from the pipe, lit it, and smoked again.
"Oh? Could it be that those people are already dead?"
Xiao Ran asked curiously.
"What's dead? They were left behind by the people in that village and became door-to-door sons-in-law. The distance between our two villages is not very far, and people from Huai Village can often be seen working in the fields, but After entering that village, I always feel very uncomfortable, young man, don’t become someone’s door-to-door son-in-law just because of a momentary curiosity.”
The old man said kindly.
"Thank you, sir, but that's why I'm going to see it."
Xiao Ran smiled, and strode forward along this road full of various weeds.
Looking at the figure of Xiao Ran walking towards Huai Village, the old man shook his head, and sighed in a low voice: "It's a pity again, a good guy, I really don't know what the hell is going on with that person from Huai Village, to force him to stay After he settled down, he made him willing to be his son-in-law, even if he didn’t hesitate to abandon his family and children.”
Along this dirt road, Xiao Ran kept walking forward. Although the road ahead was barren, the fields were clean and full of farmers. It seemed that there was not a single weed. It's like a village that doesn't want to deal with outsiders.
In some fields, li xuan also saw figures busy, as if he had noticed someone approaching, all the workers in the field looked over, their eyes were full of doubts and scrutiny, but they didn't show anything, just After watching Xiao for a while, I continued to work.
