Seventy Little Heads

The driver stood up, looked around, and patted the dust on his butt that didn't exist, "Get in the car, let's go."

Goudan squinted his eyes, this is not easy.Everyone felt that the highwaymen didn't search themselves and Wang Xuan, but in fact, the driver didn't seem to be searched either?I was so nervous just now that I didn't notice that the driver got out of the car at the beginning, squatted down next to the car, and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Goudan directly and domineeringly drove the person sitting in front to his original seat in the back, and he and Wang Xuan sat down directly in the back seat on the driver's right.

"Uncle, did you lose any property just now? I don't think they asked you anything?"

The driver didn't turn his head back, and after making a careful turn, he said: "Because drivers are basically treated like this. I don't know why they didn't rob drivers except passengers. Maybe they were worried that all the drivers would run away. If no one left the car, there would be no passengers. Cut off the money."

And such a thing?

Goudan expressed doubts, but now that they are still in the car, let's let this question go.

"These people are all villagers near the mountains, or from other places. They are so bold, and they are not afraid of being wiped out." Judging from their familiarity with the mountains, they should not come from other places.

"It's from the village inside." Someone said bitterly.

The driver also nodded, and continued: "These villages are all nested in this mountain, and they have been prone to bandits since ancient times. In fact, their villages are quite far from this road, not that close. People in the mountains have a difficult life. The land Not many, the houses are all at the foot of the mountain, and it is not easy to level a piece of land to build a house.”

"The whole village participated. When the police entered the village, they were notified long ago. All the young and old ran up the mountain. Only the old, weak, women and children were left in the village. It was difficult to carry out the work. If they didn't cooperate, these people who were wanted all day They live in the mountains and build a shed inside. The family will send them rice and oil on time for a living, and these people will set up roadblocks on any section of this road to rob. It is very difficult to catch."

Goudan probably understands what's going on?

"They don't dare to stay too long. The time and place of crimes are irregular, and the police force is not enough. They are like guerrilla warfare, and they are transferred immediately after completion. They can't just do a carpet search in this mountain range without doing anything. It's impossible."

It is really not easy for Goudan to look at the continuous high mountains in the distance from the window, and native people are more familiar with this place.It can be said that it is in the middle of the county seat and the provincial capital.

"It's just that they didn't hurt anyone's life, and the gang of officials will let them go temporarily." Those who hurt people were wiped out by the officials with great efforts, and they were almost shot to death or spent half their lives in prison.

"Among these people, there are people in this car who know them, but so what? They don't worry about being seen. They can't catch anyone at all, and there is nothing they can do if they hate their teeth."

The atmosphere in the car was very bad, either weeping or cursing.Of course, there are also some people who feel lucky as if they have saved their lives.

The driver stopped talking and concentrated on driving. The sky gradually darkened, and there was no heating in the car. It was so cold that his head was numb.

When it was time to turn on the lights, the county town gradually appeared in the blurred field of vision.

This trip was tortuous enough, but it seemed that no one in the car was going to the police station, as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.No one wants to go to the police or the bureau to sit on the bench for the money that can't be recovered at all.

Then Goudan and Wang Xuan also got out of the parked car inexplicably, their knees were stiff, it was really too cold.

"No one thinks of going to the police or police station to report or individual cases for such a big matter. This practice should be considered common in remote rural areas. I don't trust the government and the government. I digest everything by myself. I don't know if it will snow tomorrow. , it’s time for others to buy new year’s goods, if it’s snowing and overloaded, tomorrow will be better.”

"Aren't you going back to the outskirts of the county? It's too cold, and there are no street lights and the road conditions are poor."

No one has lived there for a long time, not to mention the charcoal for burning, and the old quilts that have not been aired are not warm, and there is no food.

"Let's go and live in the new guest house." There should be food there.

With the help of the faint street lights, the asphalt roads of the county town are high and low, and the familiar guest house is found.The two exhaled white smoke from their mouths, they were really tired and hungry.

Children are not afraid of the cold, wearing worn-out padded jackets, scurrying around the village trying to hide and seek.The front of the clothes was dirty, shiny with oil, hard and shiny. Such cotton clothes were basically not that warm.They have nothing to change in the cold winter, so they can only make do with what they wear until spring.

Goudan ran this way while avoiding it, and kept staring at a kid from behind. The kid almost threw himself twice.As soon as he looked up and saw two tall "adults" dressed thickly and warmly, his eyes lit up, and he stopped fighting, circling around the two of them, shouting "Oh, you son of a bitch" Uncle is back, Uncle Goudan is back, oh oh oh oh."

Goudan took a closer look, although his face was chapped and he was whimpering, "Isn't this the monkey son of Brother Mingyuan, who has grown up so much?"

"Uncle Goudan is me, it's me." Unexpectedly, the child was quite enthusiastic, but when he found that Goudan recognized him, he was very happy.The bloated child bounced around Goudan, "Uncle Goudan, you just came back? Uncle Goudan, what is so big in your bag... Uncle Goudan..."

The dog's head is getting bigger, "Don't jump. Why are you playing here? You are not afraid of the cold. When your clothes are wet, go back and have a beating."

The child looked up at his chapped, black and red face, his nose was red, and his mouth was black with cracks. He stuck out his tongue to lick his lips from time to time.Goudan saw that these children were all about the same, their faces were chapped by the cold wind, black or red.Like a kitten.

They are basically worn-out adults' old clothes and cotton-padded trousers. This son of Mingyuan wears a lot of clothes, but he probably doesn't keep warm because he wears all the thin clothes on his body. , In fact, the clothes are not very warm.

The old aunt has many sons and grandchildren, and her life is just passable, even if she has many children, she is not rich.Adults don't know how many years it takes to buy new clothes, and it is rare for children to wear really new clothes. Even a piece of clothing that has been downsized is quite beautiful.This kid's father got married late, so he basically picked up his cousin's old clothes to wear.

Goudan was like this when he was a child, putting on his own and Li Si's worn-out clothes no matter how thick or thin, hoping to keep him warm.Even a few sets of summer clothes are better than none at all.

Goudan patted the child's head, the child lifted his chin and grinned cheerfully.The back of the head was almost hitting the back, and Goudan was worried that he would fall on his back, so he stretched out his hand to support the back of his head.The children in the village have relatively large heads, and the back of their heads protrudes.

"Uncle Goudan, are you a college student?"

"Yes."

"Oh oh oh, college students, oh oh oh." For some reason, a circle of children happily jumped around them, as if they were the college students.

Maybe their parents always mention this matter in their ears, so that Goudan and Wang Xuan are very powerful figures in their hearts.

Wang Xuan took out a pack of white rabbit toffee from his bag, tore open the package, and gave two to each child.Then send them home.The children didn't know there was such a surprise, and they were all happy, shouting "College students are back, college students are back!"

The roadside trees transplanted this year seem to be half alive, and the dead sapling pits have been dug out and filled with snow.It is estimated that new saplings can be planted in it in spring.

The three dilapidated thatched houses of the family stood at the end of the specially opened road. From a distance, except for the yellow and black roofs, they were all blocked by the fence.If it is summer, it should be lush green here.Now there are only bare fences and a few crooked-necked trees standing there.The whole looks very lonely.

Even if there are two more thatched huts around, it is probably a small house that was just separated from someone.The two walked along the road framed by various saplings, swaying their bags on their backs, and walked towards the thatched cottage emitting a faint white smoke.

Goudan and Wang Xuan had been back for less than half a day, and everyone in the village knew about it.Those who are free in winter and love to be lively and rush through the door come early, sitting cross-legged on the kang, knocking melon seeds, and the melon seeds are spit everywhere.Goudan felt jealous and uncomfortable. Although the house was lively in the past, it was his friends who came to play.Now all kinds of aunts, sister-in-laws, and aunts are here, asking all kinds of questions, and there is no awareness of "respecting other people's privacy" and "communicating with others".

Some people know how to measure themselves, and some people take themselves a lot seriously because of their age.Goudan is getting more and more patient now.But no matter how good it is, if you encounter the kind of meaning that you are going to have dinner and the person has not yet left, it will make people angry. Is this to invite to the table or not to invite?The key is people who basically have no intersection.

"Brother Hei Ya, our family is going to have dinner, won't you finish the meal? My sister-in-law will find you later..."

"Hey, what can a bitch do, and be my black tooth's home? What are you eating for dinner, ouch, it smells so good, bring the bowls and chopsticks, my brother also taste the taste of dinner made by college students."

Seeing that his son's face was dark, Li Si hurriedly added bowls and chopsticks to him, and then the old rascal who ate and drank was happy, bragging and dancing, and smashing all the dishes with chopsticks while eating Turned over.

Even if you eat it, you are picky about saltiness.Talking and pointing at people with chopsticks is really shameless. You must know that Goudan's family has nothing to do with his family. The surnames are different, and the voice is just polite.

Goudan glanced at him, "Our family is like this, since your food is delicious, then you go back to eat, no one else has much food."

The man said awkwardly, "Hey, just talking, just talking."

Li Sizhen was worried that Goudan would directly lift the table and beat people up.His son, he knew, had a really bad temper.Sometimes I worry about saying something wrong when talking to him, which will make my son angry.Fortunately, there is no Goudan.

This person started bragging again when he met people later, saying that even a college student should treat him with good meals and give him face when he sees him.It is an honor to eat and drink.

Goudan is familiar with some people who always like to take advantage and talk too much. What strange things have you not seen when you were poorer in those years?So it's not surprising that someone like Hei Ya who likes to take advantage and act like a decent person, but he doesn't like it either.Because this advantage took advantage of him, it made people unhappy.

Goudan and Wang Xuan came back, and the Li family became lively at the beginning.Originally, their home was on the edge of the village, and no one could be on the way, so many people made a special detour to "drop in" to have a look and talk.

Although everyone asked a lot of questions, they were basically similar. They were nothing more than school matters or big city matters. Even if they didn't understand anything at all, they could ask questions from their own perspective.

In the first two days, many people will be curious, and then there will be the reunion of friends from childhood to adulthood.

"I will come out when the weather is good, and I can do some simple housework with the help of crutches. Now I can't come out at all in this cold weather." Dafu was talking about Dazhuang's situation.The expression is somewhat distressed.

"What are you doing now? If you don't go to the quarry, you must find another job."

"I want to go to the south after the next year. You said it would be better to find a job there?"

"I don't know. The last few times I went to the same place, there will definitely be recruits for hard work, but I'm afraid of encountering an unfamiliar black-hearted boss, and you are outsiders." Then Goudan roughly said about the situation in the south I even told a few people about the robbery I encountered on the way home this time.

"It's okay to go out, but anything can happen. Besides, what do you do at home when you go out?"

"My parents can still work for a few more years, and Dagui can also support a labor force. If I go out, there will still be Dagui at home. The younger brothers and sisters can also help the family with some work."

Several other people hesitated when they heard what Goudan said. After all, the farthest they have been to is the county seat, and some people have never been to the county seat.Not knowing what the outside world is like, it is inevitable to be uneasy.

"I heard that the county seems to be setting up a new comprehensive market. If there is a stall in it, I think it should be pretty good."

Then everyone sighed, no money.

Goudan and Wang Xuan looked at Da Zhuang, who was skinny and lifeless in his eyes.It looked very uncomfortable.

He sat on the kang with one leg stretched out, watching his youngest son entertain himself by rolling around on the kang.When the younger son rolled to the edge of the Kang, he stretched out his arms and pulled him back to the middle.

In addition to being relatively depressed, he is also clean. It seems that his family takes good care of him.

He watched the two of them come and smiled, "I heard from the kid at home that it's just that the weather didn't allow me to go out, but you guys came to see me."

"Why are you being polite? There are a lot of people in the family these two days."

"You two are rare college students. It is not so intuitive to go out from the village. Everyone is curious after returning from the capital." There is no one in China who does not yearn for the capital.They all want to see that square.

"Has there been many aunts who have been matchmakers for you these two days?" Da Zhuang could imagine the scene. "That's right, I don't even know whether the girls they say are round or flat, and they all swear that they will satisfy me."

"You are old and promising. You can imagine the future. Who wouldn't be enthusiastic? Even if you know the hope is slim, what if it happens? It's the same if a family has a hundred girls and a good man. "
