Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8260 Who lost something?
Changping Village, by the river at the foot of Mianniu Mountain.

In the dead of night, everything is silent, only the mountain wind roars in the forest, the water in the river at the foot of the mountain recedes to the lowest point, and some places are almost dry, leaving only a small puddle of water.

Withered and rotting aquatic plants cling to the mud in the river, emitting a stench.

On the river dam, a carriage came from far to near, with a windproof lantern hanging in front of the carriage, and two peasants sat side by side to drive the carriage.

In the carriage, Da Sun and the Sun sisters were also sitting next to each other, talking in a low voice.

Whether it is at the front or the rear of the car, there is a butcher's knife.

When going out earlier, Yang Huazhong was going to put a hatchet on the car, firstly to ward off evil spirits, and secondly to defend himself.

In the end, it was directly replaced by the Dasun family. In the words of the Dasun family, "Your hatchet has never seen blood, and it is not murderous. Use mine!"

A wide butcher's knife and a long, thin boning knife.

Putting the two knives on the carriage, the horse was a little restless when it saw the two knives. It was Yang Huazhong who stroked the horse's head and put it against his ears to calm the horse down for a while.

So along the way, with the deterrence of these two knives, the four of them became more courageous.

From Changping Village to the Taoist Temple, there is a journey of two or three miles. After leaving the village, go all the way to the foot of the mountain behind, then turn right at the river, and continue walking along the dam on the right.

This road is all uphill, and the right side of the dam is a large crop field.

The fields of Changping Village, Lijia Village, Yujia Village, and Zhengjia Village are all grouped together.

In spring and summer, this field is very gratifying, but in the middle of winter, the field is barren and barren. Looking at the past, in the vast and barren field, I don’t know whose cotton stalks have not been pulled out in time, or whose family The scarecrows planted in the ground to scare the birds did not move away. At first glance, it looked like someone was standing there stiffly with their hands crossed.

"You can't look around at night, and you can't see it clearly, it's scary to death!"

Mrs. Sun put down the curtains of the car, stroked the hairs on her arms and said this to Mrs. Sun beside her.

Mrs. Sun twitched the corner of her mouth, because she was pretending to be something, so she put on a forced smile to perfunctory Mrs. Sun.

Mrs. Sun said not to look around, but she couldn't sit still for a while in the carriage, and Mrs. Sun spoke in a low voice and was a bit perfunctory, so Mrs. Sun turned her head to look out of the car window on the right.

On the right is the river, and on the other side of the river is the mountain. At night, the mountain is like a sleeping black monster, lying there, from south to north, across east and west.

"Sister, you said that I am not afraid of anything this day, why am I a little flustered tonight?"

Da Sun looked at the mountains outside the right window, patted his heart and said.

Sun raised her head and smiled and said, "Sister, then don't look outside."

Xiaojie's father who was driving the carriage in front also said: "Sister is right, don't keep looking outside, it's dark around here at night, there's nothing to see!"

Da Sun curled her lips, "Why do men interrupt women when they talk? You are so good at driving your carriage, don't drive us into the ditch later. I'm asking you!"

Xiaojie's father laughed twice, and Yang Huazhong also laughed.

The laughter of the men emboldened the women in the night.

After a journey of two or three miles, the four of them arrived at an uphill ridge called 'One Tree'.

There are a lot of trees in this place, and there are trees on both sides of the river dam. Because of the high terrain, the river ditch is nearly 20 meters high from the river dam. Extending from the river dam, there are layers of trees, which are at the turn of spring and summer. Sometimes, these trees almost block out the sky, and you can't see the sky when you raise your head by the river.

If you stand on the dam and look down, you can't see the river either.

Some drunks passed by here after drinking, and if they didn't walk well, they might have fallen from the right.

But because it was supported by trees underneath, it didn't fall into the river when it fell, but hung on the branches. When the family found it, they found that the person was still sleeping soundly on the tree!
These trees act as a natural protective barrier, which has its benefits, but also its downsides.

For example, some men and women in ten miles and eight villages like to take other people's wives with them, or they like to go out with other people's men to make some food and wait in the village, in the wheat field, in the cotton ditch, in their firewood house, behind the latrine, etc. When the place is not convenient to do things, I will choose to come to this place.

Because under the layers of trees is the soft riverside grass, a stone arch bridge is erected on the river, and the arch bridge can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

So, when the carriage arrived here and started to turn on the arch bridge to the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Sun raised the curtains of the carriage again to look outside.

At the same time, he said with a suppressed smile, "I've never been to these places at such a late night, so I'll keep my eyes open and take a closer look to see if I can catch a few pairs of wild mandarin ducks."

Sun couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, don't look at it, it's so cold, the dripping water turns into ice, there's no way there are people outside."

But Dasun said: "That's not certain, wild mandarin ducks are not afraid of the cold, even in the snow and ice, they can hug each other and sleep in the snow."

Sun was speechless.

The eldest sister is already old, and she still has such a playful heart. She only hopes that the two men in front of her will not hear these words, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing.

As for the two men in front, how could they not hear, they both have ears!
But both of them pretended not to hear, and drove the carriage carefully past the arch bridge...Suddenly, Mrs. Sun yelled:
"Yeah, look, there's someone over there!"

Mrs. Sun in the carriage was startled.

In this kind of place late at night You tell me there's someone there?

someone!

"Sister, don't look blindly, put down the curtain quickly."

Sun's first reaction was to stretch Sun, and wanted to put down the car curtains.

But Da Sun became excited, "There are really people, look, under the bridge and by the river, they are walking with torches!"

Subconsciously, Mrs. Sun looked in the direction guided by Mrs. Sun.

By the river, there were really flames jumping, and it looked like someone was walking with a torch.

At this time, Yang Huazhong and Xiaojie's father in front also heard the movement, and they stopped the carriage and looked under the bridge.

Yang Huazhong said: "It's a little far away, I only see torches being held up, but I can't tell which one it is."

Da Sun said: "Walking around along the river, it looks like I lost something and I am walking and looking for it!"

Yang Huazhong added: "Someone should come here to herd cattle in broad daylight. Maybe something was dropped here while the cattle were herding."

Dasun's gossip is very serious, and he is on par with Liu's in this respect, and he is also warm-hearted.So when she heard Yang Huazhong's analysis, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and wanted to get off the carriage to ask that person to come over and ask.
