Christmas

Xia Yao was woken up by a loud noise. He sat up from the bed in a daze, rubbed his face and regained his senses for a while. When he fully woke up, he realized that Shi Xie and Xiao Shen were no longer in the room.

He touched the bed next to him, and it was already cold, which meant that the two had been out for a while.

After putting on his shoes and washing his face briefly, Xia Yao was going to go downstairs looking for the noisy noise.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a louder noise. Xia Yao rubbed his hair and walked down the stairs, only to see a large group of people in the hall downstairs. discussing something.

Xia Yao's appearance did not cause any movement, the group of strangers were still discussing something loudly in obscure local dialect.

Xia Yao listened curiously for a few times, but found that he couldn't understand at all, so he had no choice but to give up. Looking up, he easily found Shi Xie and Xiao Shen who were beside the crowd, and also saw Duan Qinghe, Wu Meng and the others beside them.

"What's going on here?"

After greeting Duan Qinghe and the others, Xia Yao went to Shi Xie's side and whispered in his ear.

"The mayor brought people here, specifically to come over to solve the matter of the deceased.

Woke up?Did you sleep well. "

"They were really loud, but I slept well."

Xia Yao nodded and answered Shi Xie's question. He looked at the group of people, and saw that there were about a dozen middle-aged people among them, and there were men and women among them. These people were surrounding an old man. Talking about something in a hurry.

The friends of the deceased were also standing beside them, all with angry expressions on their faces, and the man who had once lost his temper with the proprietress was still yelling and cursing.

The old man surrounded by everyone looked about eighty years old, and the hair on his head was all white and very thin.

He hunched his body and held on to a wooden crutch that looked old.The long white beard on the chin is not messy, and it is well-groomed.

No matter what the people around him said, the old man kept a calm face, holding a cane in both hands, and listened quietly with lowered eyelids.

With.

Hearing that the two sides talked more and more excited, seeing the friend of the deceased and the villagers arguing even more, everyone blushed and looked thick-necked.

Only at this moment did the old man slightly raise his eyelids, hold his crutches and knock on the ground a few times. Although the sound was not loud, the effect was surprisingly good.

The villagers immediately shut their mouths and did not make another sound. Seeing that they were silent, the friends of the deceased naturally stopped.

The old man walked to the place where the dead body was placed with his cane. The wooden crutch made a crisp sound on the floor, and there was an old and hoarse voice in the middle.

"Our town will be responsible for this matter. It's just that the road is impassable now, and it will take some time to repair it. It's better to put the dead in the coffin first."

The mayor's beard trembled, and the wrinkles on his face were like deep ravines, which made it impossible to see why.The muddy pupils rolled a few times, raised his crutches and pointed at the two strong men among the villagers.

The two strong men nodded, walked over and lifted the shelf on which the corpse was placed, and were about to walk out of the inn.

"Hey, you are going to take him there, put him down!"

The man who was still yelling just now stopped him immediately, but the two big men turned a deaf ear and only carried the corpse out the door. "Don't worry about this little brother, we just sent him to the ancestral hall. It's still warm now, but it's not wrong to leave it like this

Method. "

It was reasonable for the old man to explain to the friend of the deceased.The man couldn't say anything more, so he could only stand there with his fists clenched, staring at the old man.

The girlfriend of the deceased was sitting limply on the chair, while the other two girls kept comforting her.But her eyes were still dull. It seemed that her boyfriend's death had indeed brought her a lot of blows.

"My friend died here, how do you ask us to go back and explain to his family. It is reasonable, and you must also give us an explanation."

The man in the white sportswear stood up and patted the angry man, talking to the mayor.

"How your friend died, you have to wait until the police arrive to find out."

As soon as the mayor finished speaking, the irritable man could no longer hold back and began to growl.

"Fart! You are just delaying time by taking advantage of the road being blocked! When the police arrive, my brother's body may be decomposed, and what else can be found. Who knows if you guys blocked the road on purpose !"

As soon as the irritable man finished speaking, the faces of the villagers surrounding the mayor darkened at the same time, staring at the irritable man with dark eyes.

Being stared at by so many people, the irritable man also felt uncomfortable.

He's reckless, but he's not stupid either.Of course he understands that they are still on someone else's territory now, not to mention that the way out is blocked, even if they want to go out, they can't get out now.

If they really do something to themselves, then it will be really ineffective every day.

"Then... when will the road be open?"

The violent man swallowed, his tone softened, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.

"I have already called the outside world before. I don't know when they will come. Now there is no signal in the whole town, and I can't contact the outside world. We can only wait."

As soon as the mayor finished speaking, Xia Yao and the others immediately took out their mobile phones from their pockets.At first glance, the signal column was indeed empty.

"Then what should I do... woo woo woo."

Seeing that there was no signal on the mobile phone, the girlfriend in the white sportswear leaned against him and began to cry.

"The road should be repaired soon, you should settle down here first. There is a lot of food in the town, don't worry about the food problem

question. "

Zhenzi held his crutches to comfort him, and everyone's expressions were a little heavy.It's just that there is no other way.

"I'm really sorry, if I didn't propose to come here, we wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

Duan Qinghe's face was full of guilt, he said apologetically.

"Oh, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters here, so it's okay to stay for a few more days."

Wu Meng patted Duan Qinghe's shoulder, his face relaxed.

"Yes, the scenery here is so beautiful, you can relax a few more days if you stay a few more days."

Xia Yao also comforted her in a timely manner.

Seeing that their faces were all frank, it didn't seem like a polite gesture.Duan Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and there was a smile on his face.

smile.

"Then we'll have a good time these few days."

"Then let's go first. Your friend's body is in the ancestral hall. If you want to see it, go there yourself."

The mayor stroked his white beard, and was about to walk out of the inn with the rest of the villagers on crutches.

But when they were about to walk out the door, Xia Yao was taken aback.The mayor suddenly stopped at the door, his cloudy eyes looked back and forth at Xia Yao's body.

I can't see the expression clearly, and I don't know the reason.

When the mayor and his party all walked out of the inn, the proprietress hurried over and closed the door of the inn.

Turning around, he kept muttering in his mouth, his voice was neither high nor low, just for the people in the hall to hear.

"It's really unfortunate."

At this time, even Xia Yao felt that what the lady boss said was a bit inappropriate. As soon as the lady boss's voice fell, the irritable man immediately slapped the table and stood up.

"What did you say!"

"What did I say? I said bad luck! If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't take your business."

Of course, the proprietress was not a good friend, and immediately shouted back loudly.

"You丨丨You..."

The irascible man couldn't help pushing forward, but he couldn't say anything to her, a woman, and his face flushed red with anger.His girlfriend kept comforting him, her expression was also very bad.Others also stared at the proprietress, full of anger

anger.

"Okay, okay, kindness makes money. After all, this kind of thing doesn't feel good to anyone.

You miss your friends, and you are very sad; the proprietress opens a shop to welcome customers, and she is also worried about this matter.

So everyone understands and understands each other. When the road is cleared, we may not be able to meet again in the future.

As the saying goes, meeting is fate, it is better to be kind than to be enemies. "

Duan Qinghe stood up in time to ease the freezing atmosphere among the few people.Duan Qinghe has a handsome appearance, gentle brows, and a steady tone of voice, which makes it easy for people to have a good impression of him.

As soon as he uttered these words, the situation was smoothed out, and all parties would not be offended.The faces of the proprietress and the irritable man also softened significantly.

The man in the white sportswear was the first to stand up and apologize, and his attitude was very sincere.

"This brother is a sensible man. We were just too angry for a moment before we lost our minds. Now the road is blocked, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. It's useless to say anything. I just said to the proprietress How offensive, please forgive us for our eagerness to protect our friends."

"Hey, what's the matter. I'm a woman, but my mouth is a little broken. No wonder."

The proprietress was not unreasonable either, she waved her hand and walked into the counter.

The two sides have settled their suspicions, and the atmosphere in the inn has also eased.

After holding back for a long time, Xiao Shen finally couldn't bear the loneliness and pulled Xia Yao's hand, secretly wanting to whisper to Xia Yao.

Xia Yao also squatted down cooperatively, and put his ear next to his face.

"Mom, Xiao Shen will take you to a place."

Xia Yao looked up at Shi Xie, only to see him nodding slightly, obviously Xiao Shen's words had also been heard by Shi Xie.With Xia Yao's consent, Xiao Shen immediately happily dragged Xia Yao to trot outside the inn.

"Where are Xiaoxia and the others going?"

"Go out and play with my son."

Duan Qinghe was taken aback when he heard Shi Xie's answer, then shook his head and smiled, turned and went upstairs without saying anything.

The others also returned to the room one after another, and Shi Xie followed Xia Yao and the others with his hands folded, and also walked out of the inn.

"Where are we going?"

Xia Yao was bumped and bumped by Xiao Shen, and couldn't help asking.

"You'll find out later."

Xiao Shen giggled, dragged Xia Yao into an alley.

"Little brother!"
