Chapter 21 Going to see the young lady
As the old man said before, this is not the first time that such howling has been heard in the village.
Some villagers went out to check before, but in the end they all fainted under the big willow tree.
With so many things happening in the small village, it is certainly not normal.
"Old man, haven't you ever thought about moving away?" Xue Lei frowned.
If it were him, knowing that this place was so unlucky, he might not be able to stay any longer, so he would hug his sister and carry the carriage and run away overnight.
"Some people did move away at the beginning. We, whose families were poor and had no ability, would be dead ends if we went out, so we didn't leave. Who knows a few months later..."
The old man seemed to have remembered something frightening. He lowered his head and took a sip of hot water, calming down before continuing.
It turned out that on the day those people moved away from the town, heavy fog suddenly appeared around the village, as if something had isolated their village from the rest of the world.
Some people tried to walk in, but because they couldn't see anything clearly, they didn't dare to go deep.
There is no other way, the villagers can only stay in the village.
Some people even regretted it. If they had known that they would be trapped and died in this village, they might as well have left together.
Even if we start over in another village, it will be much better than now.
Just a few months after this idea suddenly appeared in everyone's mind, someone suddenly said that there was someone in the thick fog.
Hope arose in everyone's hearts.
If someone could get in, they could probably get out. So everyone in the village came out.
After everyone looked at the horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts and ox-carts appearing in the thick fog, some people rubbed their eyes and exclaimed.
Because those cars looked familiar, everyone rushed to pull the cattle cars out of the thick fog, and suddenly screamed in terror.
Yes, the reason why these cars look very familiar is because they originally came out of their village.
One, two, three, and finally eight cattle cars, no less than the number left.
But it was not the cattle cars that made the villagers scream in fear, but the people pulled by the cattle cars.
Some of the people in the car were young couples, some were young and old, and some were singles.
But now they all have only one identity.
dead.
These people didn't know how long they had been dead, and their bodies already exuded the smell of decay. That is because the weather is cold, otherwise it will rot faster.
There is an elderly family in the village who worked as county government officials in their early years. After seeing their bodies, it was estimated that the time was three months ago. And the cause of death was that all the blood was sucked out of the body.
In other words, when these people left the village three months ago, they were already dead.
This incident frightened everyone.
Some people also wonder why those who came after them did not die after they went out, but they were confused for a few days after going out and then came back.
But no one knows the answer to this matter.
"What happened next?" After a long while, Xue Lei asked.
"Later, the villagers buried all these people. Fortunately, the back mountain is surrounded by mist." The old man sighed, "It is now the fifth year, and no one has ever passed by."
Xue Lei's temples jumped, "Wha, what do you mean? It's been five years and we are the only ones coming in? What about the other passers-by?"
"No, I don't know? We can't get out, and no one comes in from outside."
General Xue and the group of people behind him were all stunned.
What is going on!
"Dad, are we trapped here too?"
General Xue has never encountered such a thing, "Master Ma Dao?"
"Don't worry. Something can only fascinate the eyes, but it can't block our way." Ma Daoye glanced at the peacefully sleeping little girl and said confidently.
"Then we can rest assured." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this case, it's useless for us to discuss anything now. We might as well seize the time and go to bed quickly. When daybreak, we will go out and try!"
General Xue lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying.
Everyone responded. It was just the beginning of Chou, and he could still sleep for a while when he went back.
Everyone responded and went back to sleep.
The Xue family father and son also lay down again and gently placed Long Baoer on the quilt.
The little girl pursed her lips and hugged General Xue's arm as soon as she turned over.
General Xue, who had been sullen all night, finally showed a smile, lowered his head and kissed the little girl on the forehead, "With Long Bao'er here, uncle will never be trapped in such a small place."
People in the army fall asleep very quickly. They must seize every moment to replenish their physical strength as much as possible.
I slept soundly until dawn.
By the time Long Baoer woke up, the Xue family and his son had already gotten up and had washed up. In the outer room, two large stoves were steaming.
The little girl woke up not so much from sleep, but from heat.
The kang was warmer than last night.
When the kang table was set up in the room over there, and Xue Lei took the little girl in his arms and sat on the kang after washing, General Xue also walked around outside and came back.
At this time, General Xue's heart was heavy, because just as the old man said to them yesterday, there was indeed a thick layer of fog at the entrance of the village, making it impossible to see anything three feet away.
General Xue had scruples in his heart and retreated after taking a few steps.
"Uncle! It's time to eat!" When the little girl saw General Xue, she stood up from the kang happily, ran over and rushed into his arms.
"Long Bao'er is up. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah." The little girl said, rubbing her belly.
"Then let's eat."
There was still a lot of dry food that General Xue brought in yesterday. The little girl ate half a piece of steamed buns, drank half a bowl of porridge fed by Xue Lei, and finally ate half a piece of sweet potato with her arms in her arms.
"Dad, how are you?" Xue Lei asked in a low voice while Long Baoer was eating.
General Xue shook his head.
Xue Lei's heart suddenly sank. It seemed that the situation was not optimistic.
At this time, Long Baoer took a bite of the sweet sweet potato and looked at the old man, "Uncle, we made an appointment yesterday to see the young lady."
"Ah?" The old man was stunned.
He thought the little girl just said it casually yesterday. A little girl like her is very forgetful and can't remember anything after a nap.
Unexpectedly, Long Baoer still remembered.
The old man suddenly became confused and didn't know how to answer.
Long Baoer is young and has no taboos. But how could they be so ignorant as to take other people's children to the cemetery?
But General Xue was moved in his heart.
He lowered his head and asked the little girl, "Long Baoer wants to take a look?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then let's go together. I'm afraid I miss my daughter too, right?" General Xue said.
"But this, how can this be done? The cemetery is not a good place." The old man was shocked. "That place is cold and cold. Even if we go there, we will be uncomfortable for a few days when we come back. How can we take the young lady there?"
I’ve seen people who dote on children, but I’ve never seen people who dote on children like this?
