Chapter 747 The Countryside 【Seeking a Monthly Ticket

The night is like water, and the cry of frogs in summer comes from the large fields, one after another, rising and falling like thunder.

A mpv car drove past the uninhabited road. After entering this remote area, the traffic flow became less and less. There was a small village far away along the way. In the early morning, it was all quiet, and only the occasional barking of dogs showed that there was still people in the village.

The two children who had already fallen asleep in the car woke up because of the frog's screams. They have basically lived in the city since they were born and understood the sound of cars' engines and horns, but they are still full of curiosity about this sound of nature.

"What's that calling?" asked the three-year-old cabbage girl.

"Frog." Yu Qi stroked her daughter's head and said, "It's the kind of frog in "The Frog Prince".

"Quaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguaguagu

But Guo Pengbin, who was driving the car, stopped and said, "Don't quarrel with your grandmother, grandma and the others." The three old men fell asleep against the back of the chair. They bumped for almost ten hours and couldn't stretch their legs and feet. This was a torment for their old body.

Xiaohu's head lowered his voice, but his body moved forward and approached his father's ear in the front driver's seat, and then quarreled again.

Guo Pengbin ignored his son, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and murmured to himself: "It's coming soon."

The mobile phone navigation shows that it is less than ten kilometers away from the destination Hewei Village and will be able to arrive soon.

Along the way, Guo Pengbin was responsible for driving at full speed, Yu Qi was responsible for using her mobile phone to keep browsing the news, and no accidents continued; Citigroup gave many statements about what happened in New York, and the Tianji Bureau also issued a statement condemning the atrocities of the Alliance of Life Will. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will fight to the end.

Those statements and statements make the world more aware of the complexity of the world in which they are located, the power of darkness, aliens, and dimension invasion...

To be honest, Guo Pengbin and Yu Qi cannot really understand much, but they know that their guess is correct, and even the Tianji Bureau cannot guarantee everyone's safety.

Moreover, the strange people continued to emerge in various places, and the strange howlings were becoming more and more.

Yu Qi knew that it was because she was constantly browsing a website that provided warning maps. Whether it was Yi Ren or the patient, there was a new whistle, so she was displayed on the warning map as a red dot. The red dots in Dongzhou were already dense, more than ten times more than when they set off.

And Hewei Village, their destination, has not yet appeared red dots, and there is no scope in this area.

When there were only five kilometers left, Guo Pengbin stopped the car and called Uncle Quan again. Uncle Quan was less than 60 years old and had a cell phone in the village. It was quickly connected. Guo Pengbin asked: "Uncle Quan, we are almost here. Is there anything wrong in the village today? Is there anything strange? "

"Screaming? No." Uncle Quan's words came from the phone, "It's still the same, where are you?"

"It's almost time to the village." After finishing the call, Guo Pengbin spoke to his wife and the others, and then continued to drive the car.

Although the road here is very bad, the five kilometers were still running quickly. The couple saw the yellow mud houses that formed the village through the windshield and the headlights. Someone was using the flashlight on the roadside at the entrance of the village. It should be Uncle Quan and the others. Guo Pengbin couldn't help but say: "Here, come, wife, wake up my mother and the others."

The two children looked around curiously, and Yu Qi woke up several old people. Everyone heard the shouts of the people waiting in front of the village.

"Pengbin!" a middle-aged man shouted, shaking the flashlight in his hand, with joy in his voice: "Here."

The lights on the front of the car made their figures a little blurred. When they drove closer, Guo Pengbin saw their faces clearly. Uncle Quan, Uncle Hong and Uncle Bo. Uncle Quan are relatives, while Uncle Hong and Uncle Bo were both friends of his father during his lifetime. I haven't seen each other for some years...

At this time, Guo Pengbin suddenly felt a little complicated and inexplicable. He should have come back to the village to take a look.

The car slowly slowed down and stopped. Mrs. Guo had already rolled down the window and looked out to greet these old acquaintances who might have not seen for a long time: "I'm back, Pengbin said that there are dangers outside recently, and there are many messy diseases, so I'll come back to stay for a while."

"It's as long as you want to live." Uncle Quan nodded happily, his dark face full of smiles. "Your house is still there. I put some miscellaneous items before. I moved for you today. There are beds and stoves... But you may not be used to living in the city for a long time..."

"How could that happen?" Guo Pengbin said quickly. The two yellow mud houses were transferred out a few years ago. They could not live there at all. Fortunately, Uncle Quan is just a kind person. "It would be great if there is a place to live in. I will ask you more in the future."

The two children were lying in their heads. He took everyone out of the car first, and then introduced these three uncles, "Call them quickly."

This time, Xiaohutou and Cai Yatou were well-behaved. Although they were young, they seemed to be sensible. They called three uncles and made Uncle Quan and the others smile even more.

The one who is most likely not accustomed to living in a father-in-law and mother-in-law. They are old, and even if they are not in the current situation, it is good to live in this countryside with fresh air for a while; the one who is most likely not accustomed to living in is his wife, and Yu Qi is not that kind of unruly woman, and she is also very polite at this time.

The night is already very dark. There are no young people in the village all year round, and there are very few cars. Some vehicles are agricultural diesel tricycles. Most of the roads between the houses are mud roads. Moreover, these yellow mud houses are densely built, so their mpv can't drive in.

At that moment, the car was parked at the entrance of the village. Guo Pengbin and Uncle Quan and other men moved boxes of luggage from the back carriage and moved them to two yellow mud houses located in the village.

When Yu Qi saw these two adjacent yellow mud houses, although she was mentally prepared, she understood what the situation was now, and she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Both houses are tall, with old and dilapidated yellow mud exterior walls, old and dilapidated tiled roofs, and an equally old and dilapidated wooden door. There is a small ruined yard outside the house, covered with untreated weeds and piled up with some water tanks, firewood and other debris.

The telephone poles inserted outside the house were shaking, and there were wires leading to two old houses, but because of their disrepair, Uncle Quan and others couldn't say whether they could still be powered on.

After entering the house, Guo Pengbin turned on the old switch installed on the wooden board. The lights wrapped in spider webs could emit dim lights, which immediately made them all feel relieved. With the current temperature, it would be difficult to sleep well without electricity and fans. Don’t think about the air conditioner, but there is not even a fan in the house. Fortunately, Uncle Hong also has an idle floor-standing electric fan at home, and Uncle Quan also has a small fan, and they all enthusiastically moved it over and lend it to them for use, which solved the problem.

There is tap water. After the turbid water pipe that was originally old, the water quality gradually becomes clear. However, the "kitchen" is basically an old stove inside the house and several pots and tables in the yard outside the house; and there is no independent bathroom, and the toilet is a small thatched hut on the wasteland not far from the yard.

With such a living environment, it may be fine to live for a few days, but after living for a long time, there will definitely be many problems...

When Uncle Quan and the others were not paying attention, Yu Qi sighed without hiding her loss and said to her husband: "We need to do a lot of renovations, at least there must be an independent bathroom... The monthly payment for our house cannot be cut off..."

Guo Pengbin wanted to say something but stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything and continued to move his luggage in first.

There are two yellow mud houses, the one where their family lives with his mother and the one where their father-in-law and mother-in-law live next to them.

Uncle Quan, Uncle Hong and Uncle Bo were busy. In this midsummer, even in the cool night breeze in the early morning, they were sweating, shirtless, and fat belly, just like when they were working in the fields. Until they were busy and saw that the family had settled down, the three uncles and uncles had to leave home.

Before leaving, Uncle Quan said, "You live first. If you have any shortcomings, what needs to be repaired. Let me tell me tomorrow, I will take you to the town to find someone to do it."

"Okay." Guo Pengbin nodded, actually just wanted the entire village to be closed and not contact the outside world in the short term, including the town closest to it.

After Uncle Quan and his friends left, it was time for everyone who had been running around for a day to go to bed and rest.

At first, the two children looked here and there curiously. There were many questions asking their parents, but after all, they were a child and they were tired soon. Yu Qi coaxed the two children to sleep on the small broken wooden bed in the house that was the best ventilation near the door, and opened the borrowed old floor-to-ground fan that made a rattle.

She told a fairy tale to the two children, so she let them sleep peacefully, and went to another yellow mud house to help her parents pack their things.

Guo Pengbin's mother thought the house was too hot. After seeing her grandchildren, she moved a bamboo mat to a cleaned ground in the yard outside, and slept there. The darkness around her, mosquitoes, could bear it, just to take the refreshing night breeze.

Guo Pengbin stood at the door of the yellow mud house and watched his mother sleeping on the ground. After a while, he started snoring and was already asleep.

He looked at the bottomless dark night, his heart was turbulent, and after sighing, he walked towards the wooden bed there.

Cai Yatou also fell asleep, but Xiaohutou was still turning around, and he leaned his head and saw him walking towards him, whispering: "Dad, I can't sleep..."

"What's wrong?" Guo Pengbin sat next to the bed, paying attention to avoiding the fan's blowing position. In fact, he had been driving for a day and was very focused and had been tense of his nerves. He had been exhausted for a long time. He almost fell asleep when he sat down. "Is it hot? The bed is too hard? The fan is too noisy? Or is it a frog outside noisy?"

Xiaohu's head shook his head when he heard it, "I can't sleep..."

"Did you miss home?" Guo Pengbin whispered softly and reached out to caress his son's young face. "This is home. Dad used to be, he grew up here and slept on the bed where you are sleeping now... Dad knows that you can't live with it, but something happened... We all have to be brave, do you know?"

Xiaohu didn't understand it, but he nodded in the end, closed his eyes hard, and his small face was determined, "I know, I'm a man."
