Chapter 1704 Desolate Village Nangang
This dilapidated small village is called Nangang Village. When you see the house, there must be about 80 families, which is not a small village. But I didn’t expect it to be so dilapidated, just like a deserted village.
The car stopped at the edge of the village. The road inside was not good and I couldn't drive at all. Du Heng followed Wang Zan with a flashlight and said, "When I first came here, I was shocked by the desolation of the village. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. This is not a very biased place. There are still a lot of land, so why is there no one farming? A town cadre who came to me told me that there was only an old man in the village guarding the village, and most of the rest left very early and early, and most of them went to the city."
"How did you know there are coal seams here?"
"This place is not too far from my two black coal mines. Isn't I going to open another one this year? A technician searched nearby and found that there might be coal seams in the field at the east end of the village. I didn't say that I was very happy at that time. I had already greeted the cadres in the town here, and some departments above also understood, so I thought of opening another coal mine here. For this reason, I went back and forth several times. Who knew that after I decided to open it and then carefully explored it, I found that the coal seams here were very small and it was not enough for me to invest. If I couldn't do it, I had to pay for it. I had no choice but to give up later."
Du Heng said with a look of disappointment and a pity. Wang Zan didn't pay attention to it because he found that the village was quite strange. When they came from the entrance of the village, there was a broken grass house on the left, two rooms. What's interesting is that the windows of the thatched house were not glass, but paper window paper. This is too strange. You must know that this situation is not seen in the north now. The temperature in winter must be more than minus twenty degrees below zero. If it is 39 days, it will be even colder. If it is pasted with such window paper, it will be frozen to death.
This is a product from at least a few decades ago, and it must have been no longer seen today. After all, even if the poverty alleviation work is not done in place, a few pieces of glass can still be installed.
Moreover, there was another thatched house that also had this situation, which was not a single situation. Wang Zan was very surprised and couldn't help asking: "How long has it been since this village has not been occupied? Don't tell me that it was deserted before liberation."
Du Heng shook his head and said, "I don't know how long it will take, and I haven't paid attention to this..."
"Swish" Wang Zan asked, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a figure behind the window paper of the thatched house. He squinted his eyes and looked at Du Heng. The other party was also looking at this side, but there was no reaction. It was obvious that he did not see the figure.
Behind the window paper was a rough man in his forties, wearing an old-fashioned sheepskin coat and put his hands into his sleeves. His face was green and he was looking at them with his eyes open.
This is a ghost village. Before midnight, a lonely ghost emerged?
When Wang Zan walked forward, he completely understood that this was a true ghost village. What's even more amazing is that the lonely ghosts in the village were holding their nests, not one or two, but at least dozens of people.
There are young wives wearing floral clothes, children with runny noses, and old men with crutches, and the population is very complete.
This situation of ghosts in a whole village is definitely rare, and it is not a deep mountain forest without people. This is not too far from Qingshan Town.
Du Heng didn't seem to know this situation, and continued walking forward with a flashlight and said, "The people in the town said that all the villagers in Nangang Village had left a long time ago, and then an old man was guarding here. His house was not far away. When I came before, I stayed there for a night."
"You have lived in the village?" Wang Zan asked frowned. He knew how Du Heng had suffered a disaster for his family. Isn't sleeping overnight in a ghost village going to the lantern to look for shit?
Du Heng nodded and said, "Ah, it was the last survey. It started to rain heavily at night. It was so heavy that it was almost impossible to see any visibility. Then when we came here just now, there was a small river. The river water flooded the bridge. I had no choice but to deal with it in the village for a night and lived in the old man's house..."
After walking forward for a few minutes, there was a small courtyard on the left side of the village road. This was a slightly more beautiful house in Nangang Village. There was a fence wall outside the yard, and there were vegetable fields on both sides of the inside. There was a brick and tile behind it. It seemed to be quite clean, and it seemed like that.
"This is Lao Getou's family. He must be in his eighties this year. He lives alone in the whole village. I guess he should go to bed at this time. After all, he has nothing to do at night."
Du Heng and Wang Zan walked into the yard and came to the front of the house. Du Heng knocked on the door and said, "Don't Mr. Ge, am I Xiao Du!"
"I have been here a few times before. I saw that this old man lives alone and lives a lonely life. He didn't have a good life. He also brought him some rice, white flour and pork. The old man is not bad, but he doesn't speak well, and his face always says something about his worries..."
After a while, the room was lit, but it was not the light, which was a bit similar to the old-fashioned kerosene lamp. An old man with a dog hugged his shoulders and walked out in his clothes. After looking at it for several times, he seemed to recognize Du Heng.
"It's you? Why are you here again?" the old man asked frowned.
"It's okay, come and take a look at you by the way." Du Heng explained, then pointed at Wang Zan and thought about it and said, "This is my friend..."
Lao Getou gave the two into the house. There was almost no decoration inside the house. There was a kitchen outside, only a large iron pot and stove. There were two rooms inside, one with a earthen kang, and the other was a wooden bed.
Wang Zan and Du Heng sat at the table, the old man poured a bowl of water for them each, and then said, "It's so late, you can't just come by just walking around, right?"
Wang Zan discovered that the old man was not young, but his body seemed to be OK. He was full of energy when speaking, and his body was quite tough.
Du Heng said: "Don't you think I'm a pity for the coal seam here? I always think that the coal mines outside the village shouldn't have this output, so I came here to study and research. Business is not easy these days. If you take an opportunity, try not to miss it..."
