After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 150 Chapter 141
An old-fashioned train, dragging its slow and heavy pace, came roaring from a distance, passed under the culvert of the high bridge, poked its head out again, sounded its whistle, and emitted a lot of steam white smoke.

Running all the way, He Yu and Xiao Ling got off the train station, and many farmers and businessmen got off the green leather train one after another, everyone carrying big bags and small bags.

Those who didn’t know thought they were rushing home for the holidays!
Most of the workers here are migrant workers and some businessmen. Of course, idlers like He Yu come to travel are not excluded.

The crowd surged and crowded onto the bus one after another.

Xu Erzhu waved to He Yu and yelled in the crowd, "Hurry up, get on the bus, there are only three trains a day, if you miss it, you have to wait early tomorrow morning."

There are relatively few cars going to the countryside, and the country roads are constantly bumpy. If it is raining, the car may be parked on the road.

After squeezing into the car, He Yu hugged Xiaoling in front of him. There were dozens of people in a car, and He Yu even felt that there were a hundred people.

In the car, everyone's chest was pressed against their backs, and a gust of hot air reverberated in the car.

As soon as the bus started, everyone held the handle tightly. Many people were unstable and swayed according to the inertia. Xu Erzhu was not bad, he ran fast and took up a seat.

It takes several hours to drive from the train station to the countryside. Seats are hard to find. Most people sit for several hours at a time. standing.

Coupled with the hot air in the bus, all kinds of smells in the bus are mixed, which is really unpleasant.

The bumpy bus makes people dizzy, and every breath is full of carbon dioxide.

"Xiaoyu, how long do we have to stand?"

He Yu protected Xiaoling and said, "I don't know yet, I have to ask Brother Er Zhu."

"For a few hours, Xiaoling, why don't you sit with me! I'll give you the seat."

Xu Erzhu was about two meters away from He Yu, but there were many people separated by only two meters away, and it was almost impossible to move an inch.

"No."

Xiao Ling's voice was very low, He Yu followed suit and shook his hand, rejecting Xu Erzhu's kindness.

In the distance ahead, the people in the car were quite excited, and the sunflower seeds were knocked in the swaying car, and the aunts were even more frothy.

"The third child in our village, guess what, it's still a girl, and the old lady is crazy about boys."

"That's right, the house at the entrance of our village, do you still remember? The house built is very beautiful. It is said that the house climbed up to the relatives in the city."

The aunt in a short jacket moved her back basket and put it between her feet, with the corners of her mouth crooked, "Tell you, that guy shows off what he eats at noon every day at the door of his house, and their family goes up to the mountains every day to cook game." , Every time I pass by their house, they are roasting wild game."

"It's really a blessing. If I have that blessing, I don't have to carry a dish every day and come here to sell it. I won't make much money back and forth."

"That's right, the woman from that couple's family wears gorgeous clothes every day, and she doesn't know which man she is seducing?"

"I see, this woman probably sees that young man is young and handsome. Otherwise, who would like to marry an old cow to eat young grass and marry into our village to suffer."

He Yu listened to all the aunts and aunts chatting and gossiping all the way, saying that this woman was useless.

"Have you ever heard of Mei Sanniang in Longfeng Village? She is a living example! Tell me, it's a girl from the city who prefers to live in the mountains."

Hearing the words Mei Sanniang, Xu Erzhu came back to life as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and just now he didn't hesitate, squinted his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief.

"I know, that woman doesn't even know where she came from. You said she was from the city, but I don't think so. Why do so many city people like to run to the head of the valley?"

The old man next to him heard the chatter of the aunts, and interrupted, "You don't know, do you! I've seen this Mei Sanniang, she looks really tender, but it's cheaper for the Li family."

The aunts glanced at the uncle. The uncle was dressed in rags, his body and shoes were covered with mud, but he was very approachable when he smiled. The aunts were boring, and there was one more person in their small group.

"Are you from Longfeng Village?"

"I'm not. My village is not far from Longfeng Village. I sometimes pass by the gate of their village and see Mei Sanniang. Of course, according to the people at the entrance of the village, Mei Sanniang is crazy, and she is mad at her two children." Baby, don't care about it, sprinkle it on the children every day, it's bad."

"Besides, the origin of Mei Sanniang is unknown. Some people say that she is from the city and came to Longfeng Village after fleeing relatives. Others say that she came here after fleeing. In short, there are all kinds of people. No one knows. I guess only Mei Sanniang I know."

As soon as the uncle finished speaking, Xu Erzhu couldn't help but stood up, pushed the uncle away, and stared into his red eyes, as if he had seen through the uncle.

"You are not allowed to speak ill of Sanniang! Sanniang is a good woman!"

Seeing that Xu Erzhu was anxious, everyone was taken aback. When they talked about the gossip of the various villages, it was inevitable that when they were not sure, they also heard the hearsay.

"What are you doing? It's fine if I don't say no! Do you know Mei Sanniang?"

"I'm Mei Sanniang's neighbor! Sanniang is not the kind of person you say!"

Some aunts heard that there was another neighbor of Mei Sanniang, and they hurriedly asked without fear of death, "Mei Sanniang, is she really Saner? You are her neighbor, so you should know if Mei Sanniang is."

I don't know if the aunt can't speak or has a straightforward temper. The moment she blurted out the words, Xu Erzhu's veins bulged. If he wasn't on the bus, he would have gone up and punched him long ago.

"I don't know." Xu Erzhu cast a cold glance at Auntie, and the air was suddenly icy cold.

After a long time, the car was steaming hot, and He Yu still felt a chill passing through his back.

After a few hours of bumpy roads, He Yu pulled Xiao Ling out of the car, and when he looked up, the mountains and mountains seemed to have changed into a different world.

"It took a few kilometers to reach our village."

He Yu was startled, the bumpy journey for several hours made him a bit unbearable even for a big man, and he had to walk a few kilometers after getting off the bus, he asked Xiao Ling with concern, "Is it okay?"

"Xiaoyu, I'm fine."

Xiaoling insisted that she was fine, but in fact, when she got out of the car, Xiaoling's face turned pale, the corners of her mouth were slightly peeled, and her eyes dimmed a lot.

"Brother Erzhu, are there no vehicles around here?"

He Yu was thinking too much. In such a poor and remote village like theirs, if there were only one or two cars, the whole village would have to surround it.

"The road here is not easy to travel. This bus has to be scrapped every time it comes. Didn't you see that the buses don't go this way? It's because the buses that went here before were all scrapped. The cost is too high, so I changed it."

"Either the wheel is nailed, or the wheel is scratched by these sharp flints."

"Tell me who is willing to spend such a large cost to enter our village, and there are few people who go out of our village, and even fewer people come back!"

He Yu sighed, under such a big sun, he still had to walk a few kilometers to reach his destination. Don't look at how far a few kilometers are, the road in this mountain is not as good as a flat road. After walking for half an hour, his feet would blister .

"Xiao Ling, I'll carry you on my back."

He Yu bent down and motioned Xiao Ling to sit up, Xiao Ling shook her head, "Xiao Yu, I can walk, at worst, I can walk for a while and rest for a while."

"Sister Xiaoling, please don't. Although I am a big man, it would be scary if I can't make it back before dark. Our countryside is no better than the city, especially since you just came out of the city and are not familiar with the countryside. !"

"I dare to walk at night, but I don't know if you two dare or not. To put it bluntly, as soon as it gets dark, the leaves around here sway, and the eyes blink a few times. It's easy to bump into evil things."

"Brother Erzhu, these are all lies, we must believe in science! I don't even believe what you said!"

Xu Erzhu really wasn't bragging, he wasn't afraid, but this girl would inevitably be afraid, and He Yu was from the city, so she had never seen any supernatural events in the village.

"One size fits all. Even if it's fake, you can't let our little sister Ling walk at night! Besides, when it's dark, the towering cemetery around here makes people's back cool, and I'm afraid When something like this happens, let me remind you.”

He Yu glanced at Xiaoling, and asked softly, "Xiaoling, are you afraid?"

"As long as Xiaoyu is around, I'm not afraid of anything, even if it's death, I'm not afraid!"

He Yu gently rubbed Xiao Ling's hair, and looked at her dotingly, "What are you talking about, we will have nothing to do! I want to plant a sea of ​​flowers in front of and behind the house. The orchard is full, and there is no need to worry about eating fruits all year round."

"Brother Erzhu, let's hurry!"

"Xiao Ling, come up."

This time, Xiao Ling lightly jumped onto He Yu's back. Xiao Ling was not heavy, and He Yu could carry it just fine. If he couldn't even carry his own woman, he could still be called a man.

"If we're tired, let's take a rest, and you can tell me when the time comes." Brother Er Zhu walked in the front, leading the way for the two of them.

I don't know how many hours I walked, but I arrived at the destination under the setting sun.

This village was built at the foot of the mountain. At the entrance of the village, there were three plaques piled up with grass, with three characters written on it, "Longfeng Village."

"Mei Sanniang, a crazy widow, ran away from her husband and abandoned her son~"

As soon as He Yu and the others entered the village entrance, they heard the little children in the same village muttering unknown words, which seemed to have become their mantra.

What He Yu didn't know was that every sunset, when the children came home from school and herding cattle, they would always see a ragged, unkempt young woman squatting at the entrance of the village, smiling silly at them from time to time.

When she got excited, the little boy played with Mei Sanniang, and when she came running madly, a group of children scattered with smiles, and kept chanting, "Mei Sanniang, a crazy widow, ran away from her husband and abandoned her husband." son."

Mei Sanniang is a well-known name. People in the same village only know that she brought a baby girl to Longfeng Village a year ago. The Li family took her in temporarily because she looked at her poorly. Giving birth to a baby boy was a happy beginning, but who would have thought that in this poor mountain valley, no one would want to go out, and the Li family has been a doctor for generations, with a single lineage, and Li Zhantang never came back after leaving the mountain. Only the old mother and Mei Sanniang were left alone.

Since then, people in the village have been spreading rumors that Li Zhantang was attracted by the daughter of the city, so he abandoned his mother and wife.

The old mother is weak, and since there is no male in the family, Mei Sanniang can't do many heavy jobs. Day after day, she finally collapses on the kang.

Mei Sanniang probably went crazy since then, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, guarding the village entrance all day long, looking into the distance.

Later, Mei Sanniang somehow became the gossip of the village, and everyone always brought it up, "That crazy woman went to the entrance of the village again, pitiful for the two children in the family."

"Why don't you accept it? I think the daughter of Li's family is quite sensible, but it's just that there is such a mother in the stall."

"But I can't pull it down. I'm adding a pair of chopsticks. I'm afraid I won't be able to uncover the pot after the next meal."

"It is estimated that Mei Sanniang has done a lot of evil things in her previous life, otherwise she would have become like this?"

"Look, isn't that Mei Sanniang?" Several women looked at Mei Sanniang, only to see Mei Sanniang walking towards the woods outside the village with a silly smile.

Mei Sanniang was a well-known beauty when she first came to Longfeng Village. At first glance, she thought some daughter had entered the mountain village.

Not long after Mei Sanniang walked out of the village, He Yu and Xu Erzhu entered the village. As soon as they entered the village, they heard a few children muttering, "Mei Sanniang, a crazy widow, ran away from her husband and abandoned her son." ~"

He Yu had heard Brother Erzhu mention Mei Sanniang before, but why Mei Sanniang became the catchphrase of the children, I don't know the reason.

Not long after leaving, Brother Er Zhu looked around, as if he was looking for someone, but when he asked, Brother Er Zhu said, "It's okay."

Since Brother Erzhu said it was all right, He Yu didn't take it seriously, but they didn't go far. Under a big tree, they saw a few women who were doing homework. There are relationships.

"Auntie, where is Mei Sanniang? Why didn't you see it at the entrance of the village today?" Brother Er Zhu hurriedly ran under the tree and asked these aunts.

The big guy took a look, isn't this the neighbor of Mei Sanniang's family? On weekdays, Mei Sanniang is not at home, and Er Zhu is taking care of her two children.

"Didn't we just see Mei Sanniang going to the entrance of the village? Didn't you see it?"

Xu Erzhu shook his head, "I didn't see her. I passed by at this point before, and she often squatted there, but today I didn't see her! Have you gone back?"

"How is it possible? We've been here for almost an afternoon, and not long ago we saw Mei Sanniang heading towards the entrance of the village."

"That's right, we read that right! Er Zhu, don't worry about this lunatic, he will definitely go home when the time comes!"

Speaking of Mei Sanniang, Erzhu was very displeased, but since they were all from the same township, it was hard to say, so he just responded coldly, "Thank you very much."

Everyone knows that Mei Sanniang is crazy, and the aunts are right, sometimes Mei Sanniang likes to run around when she is unconscious, but the good news is that most of her stay at the window, It doesn't go very far either.

"Yo, who are these two?"

Only then did the great masters notice the two unfamiliar faces. Looking at their attire, they probably were from the city.

"Is this your friend?"

Xu Erzhu scratched the back of his head, and introduced He Yu and Xiaoling a little embarrassedly.

"These two are the benefactors I met on the road, and these two were sent by the top to reclaim our land! When the time comes for our village, the economy will improve, and the quality of life will rise. !"

Yo, everyone looked at He Yu in disbelief.

"Young man, can it really drive the economy of our village?"

The aunts looked at each other, turned their heads, and looked at He Yu in surprise, and He Yu also looked at them quietly.

"of course."

The aunts looked at He Yu with probing eyes, not believing that the young man in front of them could drive the economy of their village.
