Leng Yue seemed to be more impatient than us, so she spoke first. Of course, she learned the lesson this time and changed her title, saying: "Auntie, where is this number 73? I don't think there is one in the village."

So many houses.”

The old woman laughed "hehe" a few times and said, "There are some, you just don't know. Don't worry, you will know in the evening."

Since she had said so, and we could see it at night, we didn’t rush to ask, and followed the old woman to her home, which was the house we saw outside with smoke coming from the pot.

There were some sweet potatoes stewed there, probably to wait for those people to come back, so the quantity was quite large, filling a big pot. After we took a few and stuffed them first, Yang Shanshan ran to help with the cooking.

, Leng Yue looked very curious about this place, looking here and there, and from time to time she even walked out of the house to look outside.

I was not only deeply wary about this place, but also full of curiosity. I also wanted to see the only house facing south and north to see if there was a Taishi chair there and if there was an old man sitting on it.

I was basking in the sun to see if the statues in the small temple were the same as those in Fengmen Village. I even wanted to run under the big tree at the entrance of the village to see if there was also a corpse that had turned into white bones buried there.

See if there is also a piece of paper there with Chu Jiangshan's incomplete novel written on it.

It's just that the old woman arranged a lot of things for us to do, so many things that I couldn't spare time to go out and visit the village. But I thought I would have the opportunity to go out and see more people and places at night, and more.

What's more, the cannibal is soft-spoken and the old woman refuses to accept payment. We feel sorry for her, so we are not too anxious.

While I was helping with the work, I tried to ask the old woman if there had been any outsiders like me here eleven years ago. The place I wanted to come to was located deep in the mountains, and it was not as popular as Fengmen Village.

, there should be very few people coming to play usually, let alone being alone all at once. If someone really came, she would have an impression even if it had been a long time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I mentioned eleven years ago, the old woman's expression immediately changed. She said on the pretext that she had to go to the fields to pick some vegetables and let us do it first. The three of us were already tired from climbing the mountain, and they had just eaten.

After doing it for a few times, we wanted to sleep. The old lady didn't force us, and arranged a room for us, saying that as long as we didn't feel dirty, we could sleep for a while.

Someone provided us with food and accommodation, which was far beyond our expectation, so although I smelled a musty smell from these quilts, I was still very happy. Anyway, I had a sleeping bag in my backpack, and no matter how bad it was, it was better than living in a tent.

It was much better to sleep in the open. Although I always felt something was wrong about the old woman's changes just now, she fell asleep quickly because she was so tired.

I had a very sweet sleep, and I was woken up by the sound of a suona. I immediately realized that the wedding team was back, and I hurriedly got up to call Yang Shanshan and Leng Yue. They lived in the same room, and I took pictures for a while.

He opened the door and saw Yang Shanshan walking out sleepily, so she said, "Where is Leng Yue? The wedding team is back, let's go take a look."

Yang Shanshan asked in surprise: "Didn't you see her? I just woke up and found that she was not there. I thought she got up first to look for you."

I shook my head. This guy was very curious. He might have sneaked out to watch the fun by himself a long time ago. I said: "It's okay. I guess she went to watch the fun first. We will go find her in a while. First.

Say hello to auntie."

Yang Shanshan agreed and tidied up briefly, but found that the old woman was not in the house either. Maybe she went to watch the fun with Leng Yue. I felt a little unhappy because Leng Yue was too ignorant. She was a newbie here.

Of course it would be much easier to have a local accompanying us, but she slipped out with the old woman.

Complaints are complaints, but you still have to go and see the excitement. Even if you don't do it for this reason, you can still take the opportunity to walk around and see if you can find anything useful.

Yang Shanshan and I walked out of the house and saw that it was getting a little dark, but the houses in the village were still dark. I don’t know why. Maybe it was the local wedding customs. We saw a dozen torches moving in the distance. It should be

Even for those who are welcoming the bride, it seems that there are not as many people living in this place as I imagined.

We quickened our pace and ran towards the team, and gradually we could see the figures clearly. Sure enough, there were only about ten people, and in the middle they were carrying a certain red sedan. The bride should be inside, but the groom was not seen. I looked around,

I didn't see Leng Yue or the old woman, and I don't know where they went.

At this time, someone in the team also noticed us. I saw a surprised look on the face of the first person. He whispered a few words to a few people around him, and then walked over and said, "You are coming from outside."

of?"

This is an obvious thing. I smiled and nodded. Yang Shanshan handed over a small red envelope in her hand. This was wrapped in red cloth from an old woman’s house. There were two hundred yuan in it. Since it touched

Someone is having a happy event here. Giving a gift will help gain the other person's favor, and it will also make it easier for us to inquire about the situation in the village.

The person in front did not accept the red envelope in Yang Shanshan's hand and asked, "What are you doing here?"

This was said quite rudely and in a very unpleasant tone. I saw that this man was short, fat and had a sinister face. He didn’t seem to be an easy person to get along with. Although I was angry, I couldn’t let it out, so I had to smile and say

: "We also came here accidentally today. I heard from the aunt over there that the owner of No. 73 has a happy family today..."

I originally wanted to say that we know someone in the village, and I also know that the owner of No. 73 is holding a wedding today. The implication is that someone in the village has already seen and accepted us, so why do you, a fat man, have to be a bad person?

Isn’t it boring to be so disrespectful to everyone in the same village without looking up? But what I didn’t expect was that the short fat man seemed to have seen a ghost when he heard my words. His face immediately changed and he said loudly: "What is seventy-three?"

No, there is no such place here! You go quickly, you go quickly, you are not welcome here!"

Yang Shanshan and I didn't expect him to have such a strong reaction. We were startled by his appearance. Then we looked at each other at the same time, and we both saw a meaning in the other's eyes: This person must know the secret of No. 73.

.

Before we could ask, the loud voice of the short fat man had already attracted the attention of other people. Immediately, a few more people came up. The short fat man spoke to them in a loud voice. Because he spoke too fast, we could not hear it.

It's very clear, but what I'm probably talking about is what I just said about knowing No. 73. While talking, he glanced at us from time to time. There are so many people on the other side, I don't know what to do now, Leng Yue

She wasn't around, otherwise her tiger-and-crane double forms would at least be a bit intimidating if anything happened, so I had no choice but to pull Yang Shanshan behind me and look at them calmly.

The group of people talked for a while, and then an old man followed the short fat man and walked up to us and said, "You'd better leave quickly. This is not the place you should be."

The old man seemed to have a very high status in the village. While he was talking, everyone else was looking outside and saying nothing. It looked like I couldn't stay here any longer, so I had to give in and agree to the other person's request.

, but then he said that he still had a companion that he hadn’t found. Maybe he had gone somewhere to play. We had to find her back. Moreover, it was already dark and there was no way to go down the mountain. Could you let us rest here for one night?

Walk?

My idea is very simple. Boss Leng Yue is old and has a lot of skills, so he will definitely be fine. But I can take advantage of this opportunity to look around the village. Even if they don't agree or ask someone to accompany me to search,

I can also sneak around after they fall asleep. Holding a wedding is a tiring task, and they won't stare at us all night.

The old man didn't have any objections to what I said about finding companions, but when I said I wanted to stay here, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "It is our custom here not to let strangers stay at home for the night. I'm afraid you will have to stay at home."

Sleeping outside."

Yang Shanshan, who had been hiding behind me, walked out from behind and said, "It doesn't matter. We stayed at an aunt's place during the day. It should be no problem to sleep there at night."

What we didn't expect was that when the old man saw Yang Shanshan, he let out a horrified cry like the short fat man just now, took a few steps back, pointed at Yang Shanshan with one hand and couldn't help but tremble, as if watching

Something extremely terrifying.

Several people immediately supported the old man. Except for the two people carrying the sedan, the others immediately surrounded me and Yang Shanshan. Yang Shanshan was so frightened that she hid behind me again. I thought: the reason why the old man saw Yang Shanshan would

Could it be that Yang Shanshan is so scared because she is so similar to her brother Yang Zijiang?

What had Yang Zijiang done here to make them so scared?

Without the old man's order, those few people didn't do anything to us. After a while, the old man calmed down, whispered a few words to the short fat man, and then took those few people and the sedan chair away.

As we walked, we looked back at our side.

The short fat man walked up to us with a gloomy face and said, "Where do you sleep during the day?"

I pointed in the general direction and said, "It's not far from the river."

The short fat man's expression changed again, and he looked at us with a strange look. After a while, he said, "Who told you to sleep there?"

Yang Shanshan said: "An aunt, we met her by the river, she said that was her house." After that, she described the appearance of the old woman.
