Strange talk live room
Chapter 1123 Taking the opportunity to look for clues
As soon as those hands touched my back, I stepped aside like a reflex.
Holding the hole with his hand, he looked back.
The person standing behind me turned out to be a little beggar.
My sudden turn made her stunned.
A pair of clear eyes looked at me blankly under the messy hair, before he could take back his raised hand.
"What are you doing?" I asked coldly.
The little beggar suddenly panicked, gesticulating hurriedly and whining but unable to say anything.
But judging from her intention, she probably wasn't trying to push me down.
"Come back!" Old Man Ge called her back with a gloomy look, "You crazy and crazy girl!"
"How many times have I told you that he is not your brother! You just don't listen!"
Old Man Ge got anxious and slapped the little beggar several times.
The little beggar hugged his shoulders and shrank, as if he was used to this kind of beating and scolding.
The others had no intention of helping, and looked indifferent and indifferent.
I gave the old man a cold look.
Although the little beggar looked pitiful, I didn't have the urge to stand up for her.
It is not yet clear what the situation of their grandfather and grandson is.
As soon as he returned to the stone table and sat down, a figure flashed at the entrance of the cave, and Boss Jin walked in with a friendly smile.
"Dear guests, I'm sorry, I just had something to do, so I was negligent."
He glanced at the earthen pots and earthen bowls on the stone table.
"Why didn't you take a sip of the water? Don't worry, our water is clean."
"Oh, it's my fault. I don't know how to pour water for the guests. Look at my brain!"
As he spoke, he put away the earthen bowl, picked up the earthen jar and poured water into it.
"Come on, come on, guests, you're welcome."
Boss Jin picked up the bowls and sent them to the others one by one.
"I drank, I'm not thirsty." I smiled and waved.
After he heard that I had finished drinking, he stopped forcing me and gave the bowl to others.
"Thank you. Mr. Jia is not in good health and is not suitable for drinking cold water. We have our own hot water, thank you."
Dr. Nie declined.
Cui Qingping didn't think too much, so he drank from the bowl.
After a hard night, he was indeed thirsty. After drinking one bowl, it was not enough, so he asked for another bowl.
"This water is good. It's an authentic underground spring. It's refreshing and thirst-quenching. You can never drink this kind of pure natural spring water outside. Why don't you all try it?" he praised.
"It's indeed good water."
Captain Xing and the other three did not refuse. It seemed that they had drank before.
There was no reaction from my body and I thought the water was fine.
"Brother, come too, don't be thirsty, little girl."
Boss Jin finally carried two bowls of water and walked happily to Old Man Ge and Xiaohua.
Old man Ge was about to reach out to take the bowl.
There was a clang.
The little beggar reached out and knocked over the water bowl, causing the spring water to fall to the ground.
"You are so stupid and crazy again, you damn girl!" Old Man Ge angrily grabbed Xiaohua's ears.
The little beggar whined in grievance, pointed to the spring water on the ground, and waved her hands desperately.
"Brother, don't embarrass the little girl. It doesn't matter, I'll just pour you another bowl."
Boss Jin looked at the little beggar and felt a chill flash in his eyes, but he still said cheerfully.
"No, thank you. This girl has no control when she gets crazy. If you pour another bowl, she will knock it over."
Old Man Ge said embarrassedly.
"I'll drink again after she's gone crazy."
"Okay, the jars and bowls are here anyway, so don't be polite!" Boss Jin couldn't force himself.
"But it's still a while before dinner. You guys are tired from traveling these past two days. Why don't you go to bed and lie down for a while?"
"I'll let you know when it's time to eat."
They all looked at Mr. Jia.
"Mr. Jia really needs to rest, so I'm sorry to trouble you." Dr. Nie said, "But we can't accept favors in vain. Let's do this. Captain Xing, see what work is available in the village and go help."
"Okay, no problem!" Captain Xing nodded immediately.
It seemed like this was a plan they had discussed early on.
"It's unreasonable to ask guests to work as soon as they arrive. You can just rest." Boss Jin said quickly.
"It's okay, Brother Jin. If we can't stay idle and don't let us work, then we are being alienated." Captain Xing also smiled.
"Hey, this is really, really embarrassing." Mr. Jin laughed honestly.
I stepped forward and said, "Then I'll go too. I'm still a young man after all, so I should put in some effort."
"Oh, what kind of luck have we in Jincun got? Where can we find such good guests as you?"
Boss Jin was so flattered that he hurriedly arranged for the fat old man and his party to rest in the large room on the other side of the stone staircase.
Then, he led me and the criminal captain downstairs.
The three of them and I had nothing to say, and we tacitly understood each other that we just wanted to take the opportunity to look for clues.
"Actually, we don't have much work to do here. Thanks to the blessing of the mountain god, these things in the fields are growing every day, and we can't finish them."
Boss Jin found two shovels at the base of the wall and handed them to Captain Xing and the others.
"We have never had a famine or a disaster here. We don't have to worry about food or clothing. We are safe and sound. So everyone is happy every day and has no worries."
"Although there are ghosts outside the village, they will be fine as long as they don't leave the village. The mountain god is here and they don't dare to cause trouble."
"You can live here with peace of mind."
Two shovels were not enough, so Mr. Jin looked around and said, "Then pick up two more loads of water. I'll cook some food for you at noon today."
Two men dug up the ground with shovels.
The criminal captain and I each carried an earthen jar and walked to the underground river.
The river water glowed with sparkling golden light, and it was difficult to see how deep the river bottom was.
The village woman has finished washing the clothes and is drying them nearby.
"We wash our clothes downstream, and you get the water upstream. Keep it clean, and everything will be fine."
After the village woman finished speaking with a warm smile, she squatted down, held a handful of water in her hand, put it directly into her mouth and took a few sips.
"Thanks."
I stood by the river and sank the earthen jar into the water.
The water was deeper than I imagined, and the half-meter-high earthen jar could not sink to the bottom.
There seemed to be a dark shadow flashing beneath the waves.
I squinted my eyes and looked at it, but I couldn't see clearly. Then I shook the jar and didn't touch anything.
But I know in my heart that the river water is definitely not that clean.
I kept a calm expression on the surface, filled a jar of water, and then grabbed the rope around the mouth of the jar to lift it up.
Captain Xing, like me, stared at the river water twice and then also pumped up the water.
"It's good to be young and energetic."
The village woman hanging clothes next to her looked at us with a smile that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
It's like, we are some cute little animals.
"The water is ready."
Captain Xing and I went back downstairs one after the other.
"Just give it to me. You have worked hard. Sit down and rest for a while. We will just send the water to the kitchen."
Boss Jin insisted not to let us continue and called two villagers to move the water jug to the kitchen.
The kitchen is at the base of the wall downstairs, in a quite large cave.
It was a place that should be ventilated, but a curtain was hung at the door.
