Chapter 300: Ecstasy Formation (5)

It was seven o'clock in the evening, the sun had set, and the sky was already dark. Since there were people in this place, each of us only had a small flashlight, and the light source was limited.

At this moment, the light shines on, and the front of the village is full of old-fashioned buildings, which have been in disrepair for a long time, and the stone walls are mottled.

Scanning around with the flashlight, the houses are densely scattered, there are single houses, there are "Yinyuan", the lanes are densely covered, and the lintels are very high.

Although these buildings look very old and there are still many traces of repairs, but the overall layout does not look like the houses of ordinary mountain people, but rather like the houses of wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times. Although there are no deep houses and large courtyards, But the lintel is not low.

It seems that what Jin Le said is right. This Mihun Village is definitely not an ordinary village. There must have been a reason and a story a hundred years ago. Maybe some rich people lived in seclusion here.

Behind the quilt is the ecstasy array, and in front is the village entrance. There are two broken stone piers on both sides of the village entrance, covered with moss. Visual inspection, it is likely to be the remains of the old "gate tower". Now there are only two stone piles left. The gate tower should have been destroyed.

"There seems to be no one in this village?" The sun has just set, and it's not time to go to sleep, but we stood between the two mossy stone blocks and looked in, but we didn't even see any lights , the whole ancient village was pitch black, not a single human voice could be heard, not to mention how weird it was.

Xu Kaiyi showed interest, squinted his eyes, and said, "Go in and have a look." After saying this, he took the lead and walked in first.

Although Wei Hai left us his address, he only left it at the intersection of Sanchaya Road. I don't know where his house is.A group of people followed into the village, and it felt very crowded in an instant.

Probably due to the lack of flat land in the mountains, the buildings here are densely built, the gables for sealing the fire are built very high, and the alleys inside are very narrow. According to the mountain people who drive cattle, only one adult cow can live in the alleys. If there are two cows on it, it will be blocked.

Thick and high lintels, high fire-sealing walls, mottled stone walls, and deep, narrow, criss-crossed lanes made me feel like I had entered an ancient maze.

There is something wrong with this place, not to mention the architectural pattern, and now even the slightest bit of popularity can't be seen.

Xiao Qi looked around curiously with a flashlight, and said, "Boss, have all the people here moved out? Are we late?"

I said: "It's possible, but even if they all move away, Wei Hai's sissy...you should call me and say something." We went deep into the village, and there were walls everywhere, either courtyard walls or stone walls. The wall, or the firewall, gives people a very depressing feeling.

I couldn't help but yelled Wei Hai's name a few times: "...Damn, Wei Hai, come out! Don't bring such a dove!" I shouted this, but still no one answered.

The night wind passed through the alley, making a humming sound, which sounded a bit piercing, and the wind was mixed with the unique coolness of the mountains.Xu Kaiyi's two female assistants turned their heads to Xu Kaiyi and said something, their voices were very low, and their expressions seemed to express dissatisfaction with the oolong situation. After all, these are busy people. There is no one personally, and I must be uncomfortable in my heart.

While secretly scolding Wei Hai for being unreliable, I made a self-criticism, and I will never mind my own business in the future.

Just as he was thinking, there was a creaking sound in the darkness, and then, a ray of orange light came out from a slowly opened wooden door, followed by a shadow of a person.

Yo, finally there is someone.

I saw an old man holding a kerosene lamp, hunched and thin, with dark and yellow skin, came out and looked at us with the lamp.The old man looked to be about 80 or [-] years old. His eyes looked cloudy in the dark. He seemed to be a little bit unclear, and kept blinking at us.

Shen Jiajia, the female assistant in the team, hurried forward and said, "Master, do you know where Wei Hai's house is?"

According to Wei Hai, a lot of people in this village died of illness recently, and those who could move outside tried to move out, while those who stayed here couldn't.Either the family does not have a strong labor force, or the family is too poor to even rent a house in the town, or it is an old man who is uneducated and cannot even take a taxi outside the village.

The old man holding a kerosene lamp wore clothes that were decades ago. The color of the old ones could not be seen clearly, but they were washed clean.

When Shen Jiajia asked, the old man pointed to his mouth and waved his hands in silence.

dumb?

Dumb and poor and old.

No wonder he's still here.

Although the old man couldn't understand what we said, he clearly knew our situation and turned around slowly. When he turned around, he waved to us and signaled us to go to his house.

He came out of a rather dignified house. The so-called style can only be called the layout style, because when I studied history, I more or less understood that the layout refers to the structure of the building, and whether rich or not, It refers to the specific repairs at home.

This house is very old, but the general layout shows that it used to be a very wealthy family.

It was getting late now, the village was lifeless, and we didn't know how many people were still alive. We looked at each other and decided to go to the old man's house first.

After entering, there is a small yard inside. There are some farm tools in the yard, but I noticed that there are stone tables and benches near the northeast corner.Ordinary farmhouses use large yards to dry grain. Only houses in cities and towns have such small yards for planting flowers and plants, drying clothes, and setting up stools and tables for chatting.

So seeing this, I am even more convinced of my conjecture. The people in this Mihun Village are probably descendants of big families who came here to live in seclusion.

However, this old man is really poor.

Except for the large-scale house left by the ancestors, it is almost poor and empty. When you enter the lobby, you can see that it is empty everywhere. There is only one table, only a few stools, and the old tea bowls cannot see the color clearly. A little electrification, in the corner of the lobby, there are a lot of potatoes piled up, and there are a lot of dried peppers hanging on the wall.

The old man happened to be eating, and there was a bowl of boiled potatoes on the table, and Xiaodie chopped peppers.

He pointed to the stool, motioned us to sit by ourselves, and motioned us to eat potatoes.

There are only two potatoes, how can we eat them? In fact, we didn’t bring anything to eat at all, because we were not going to some uninhabited land, so we didn’t think about eating at all. The only thing we brought were some snacks, which Xiao Qi ate on the way. Finished.

After walking on the mountain road for a day, we were all very hungry, but we could only endure it. The old man couldn’t speak, but at least he could listen. I don’t know Hunan dialect, so I had to slow down my speech: “You, know, Wei, Hai, home, where is it?"

The old man looked at me, obviously understood, and nodded.

I was overjoyed and said, "Can you take us there?"

He nodded, then shook his head again.

Tap and shake, what does that mean?Can I go?

Confused, the old man pointed to the dark yard outside, covered his eyes again, and shook his head; then he pointed to the sky, pointed to the kerosene lamp, and nodded again.

Now I understand what he meant: You can take us there, but it’s dark now, so you can’t go out until dawn tomorrow.
