A group of people took a carriage and walked around the town, and it was completely dark.
The town is not big, there are about a few hundred families, and there is only one market. Every house is dark and silent, and some houses have their doors wide open, but no one is there.
"Ma'am, what the hell kind of place is this?"
Wufu was very courageous, and after walking around, he couldn't help but tremble a little. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, a traditional day for family reunion. There is no popularity in this town, and there are no dead bodies.
Originally, the group planned to find a place to stay for a day to celebrate the New Year and cook some delicious food. Unexpectedly, there was not even a shadow in the town.
Wu Fu used his imagination. In the village, he heard that there were monsters eating people. Could it be that the monsters came and scared people away? This can also explain very well why there are no corpses, and all of them have gone to the stomach of the monster.
Li Haitang twitched the corner of his mouth, and found that he couldn't find words to refute.
"Husband, it's getting dark and we can't leave, why don't we find a family that can park the carriage?"
Li Haitang opened the car window, and couldn't see the scenery a few meters away clearly.
"There's a pretty big yard in front, let's stop there."
Xiao Lingchuan looked around, and found that the yards of the other houses were slightly smaller, and only one person could pass through the door, and there was no room for a carriage. The house where the group lived should be a big family in the town.
"The owner of this house is named Yu."
Last year, when Xiao Lingchuan came to the northwest, he even passed by the town. The Yu family's father made him a jug of wine, and the two drank together overnight. At dawn, he continued on his way.
Father Yu was exiled to the Northwest in his early years, and escaped death in a gold mine, but when the deadline came, he had adapted to the environment in the Northwest after he came out alive.
"He made his fortune selling private salt in his early years, and was sued by his relatives to the Yamen, and he was sentenced severely."
Father Yu thought he was kind to his relatives, and was disheartened. After he came out of the mine, he settled down in a nearby town, and the family invited a few servants to visit him.
For fear of being involved, his daughter and daughter have already severed ties with him.
"It turned out to be an acquaintance."
Li Haitang rubbed his chin. My husband is temperamental, and he can have friends. The two of them drank and just sat and didn't talk to each other?
Not long after the two got married last year, he was still taciturn. It was only later, especially after she became pregnant, that the savage husband began to improve.
The carriage entered the courtyard, and Wufu closed the iron gate. Looking at the structure of the house, it was different from that in the northwest. The houses on this side were only half covered, and the back was vertical.
The courtyard of the Yu family obviously has distinct northern characteristics. The threshold is polished with stones. The courtyard is surrounded by a city, and there is a patio in the middle.
"Ma'am, I have found something!"
After Wufu entered the door, she went straight to the empty room next to the stove. After a while, she came out with a few chicken feathers on her head, disheveled, "I found several little hens, still alive!"
Perhaps he hadn't eaten for a while, and the little hen seemed to be dying. Just as Li Haitang approached, the lifeless hen clucked twice, broke free from Wu Fu's palm, and scurried all over the ground.
"Hmph, this hen has grown into a sperm, and it's doing it again!"
Wufu was sharpening his knife, and it happened that he had nothing to eat at night, so he might as well kill this beast.
Big deal, leave some money, the host and the owner of the courtyard will get acquainted, the other party should not be so stingy, right?
Mammy Yu went to the stove and lit the oil lamp, and fetched water to scrub it. The big family is different from ordinary people, there are a lot of sausages, bacon and ingredients in the stove, but there are no leftovers, and the pot is still clean , only a layer of soil fell.
"Nurse Yu, let's boil some hot water first, wash up, and clean up the house into two rooms."
The main room is where the owner lives. It would be impolite for them to come to the door rashly. They must not occupy the magpie's nest, so just clean up the two guest rooms.
Tomorrow will look at the situation, if there is no change, they will spend their thirties here.
Right now, they really didn't know what happened, they didn't dare to leave easily without any preparation.
Li Haitang had many conjectures, but in the end she vetoed them one by one, and she was even more suspicious.
"Ma'am, the old servant will light the lantern first."
Nanny Yu took down a lantern from the carriage, and she opened the way ahead to light it up, followed by Li Haitang.
The Yu family's guest room is spacious, no one should come to it on weekdays, and the bedding is all placed in boxes and neatly arranged.
In the inner room there is the Eight Immortals table with candlesticks placed on it, Xiao Lingchuan lit a candle and lit the red candles, everything in the room became clearer.
Master Yu loves to drink. The calligraphy and paintings on the walls are all related to wine. In the outer hall, there is also a Buddha statue.
"Ma'am, please sit down for a while, and I'll tidy up right away."
Wufu rolled up his arms and sleeves, moving quickly up and down, using a feather duster, then scrubbing the sides with a rag, and spreading the bedding they brought on the carriage.
Li Haitang nodded frequently. When she lives in a hotel, she likes to use her own things and thinks it will be cleaner.
On a moonless night, there was a dead silence. Li Haitang stood under the eaves and sighed. Could it be that they lived in no man's land when they were thirty? There was no sound of firecrackers, and there was no celebration, which seemed a bit too miserable.
Now that the bandits are here, they should be very happy. They rob casually, take whatever they fancy, and you can't even find anyone who resists.
Hurrying, Li Haitang hasn't had a good meal since she came down from Sunset Mountain. The hen was stewed, and the meat was so soft and rotten. She ate a chicken thigh and the mushrooms, and her stomach was full. full.
After eating and drinking enough, she took a hot bath and thought she would fall asleep right away from exhaustion, but unexpectedly, Li Haitang tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
In an unfamiliar and somewhat weird environment, the strings in my mind are unconsciously tensed.
"Lady, go to sleep, when you wake up, it will be New Year's Eve."
It was the last day of the year again, Xiao Lingchuan racked his brains, trying to help his wife spend the last year that belonged to the two of them. In the coming year, Dou Bao was born.
"Can't sleep, husband, have you ever encountered a similar situation before?"
Li Haitang rested his chin in one hand, even in the border town, he was never so sad when barbarians came to attack and harass him!
"never."
Xiao Lingchuan shook his head, he came here last year, although the town was not prosperous, it was very noisy before. The people living in the northwest are relatively scattered, and the nearest village to the town has to be traveled by horse-drawn carriage for several hours.
Father Yu asked him for a drink, and said a few homely things. The northwest is desolate. For the people here, they have already adapted to this climate. Moreover, there are many unintentional areas here. The people have lived here for generations. They don't take it seriously and don't ask if they have to travel hundreds of miles to kill someone.
