There was still this family left in the entire village, and the courtyard wall had collapsed. Some plants and trees were built around the collapsed courtyard wall, and a simple fence yard was built. This kind of courtyard could only block some small beasts, let alone people.
Several people walked to the gate of the yard. The gate was closed. Through the fenced courtyard, you could vaguely see the dilapidated room, and a faint light was revealed, feeling like the oldest kerosene lamp.
It is impossible to power up in such places.
Standing at the entrance of the yard, several people looked at each other. Finally, Zhong Jinliang cleared his throat and shouted loudly into the yard: "Is anyone?"
Hearing the voice, he shouted over, and everyone waited for a long time but no one responded.
Afterwards, Zhong Jinliang shouted twice, but no one responded.
Since there are lights in the room, there must be someone.
Why is there no one responding? Is it because I dare not respond, or is the people in the room not working well and can’t hear the movement?
Zhao Yangui glanced at Ge Yu, went straight to push the door open. Everyone stepped on their feet, but did not enter through the main door. They directly crossed the low fence courtyard and walked slowly towards the door of the house.
When he walked to the door of the house, Zhong Jinliang still stretched out his hand, knocked on the door twice, and asked politely: "Hello, is there anyone at home?"
After asking this three times, no one in the room responded. Zhong Jinliang waved his hand and pushed open the door.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a terrifying scream came from the room, which scared several people to take a step back involuntarily and almost touch the magic weapon.
Zhong Jinliang looked at the source of the sound, but saw an elderly man in a very shabby dressed in the corner of the wall, with a headscarf on his head, looking at them with horror.
With the faint lights in the room, Zhong Jinliang looked at the old lady, and was shocked by her appearance.
The old lady had one eye pale, and the other one looked like a normal person, looking a little cunning.
After a brief silence, Zhong Jinliang immediately said: "Old man, don't be afraid. We are traveling by the way. We have no place to go when it gets dark. I want to take a rest here."
The old man hurried in the corner of the wall without saying a word. At this moment, an old man suddenly appeared from behind a cabinet beside the old man. He took a hatchet in his hand and walked out from the side, asking in shock and horror: "Who are you... who are you, what are you doing in this place?"
"Don't be afraid, old man, we came here to travel. When we saw a village here, we came to rest. After searching all over the village, we found that there were people living here." Zhong Jinliang said politely again.
Hearing Zhong Jinliang's explanation, the old man still did not relax his vigilance. He held the kitchen knife in his hand and said nervously: "Let's go, hurry up. We never leave anyone in our village for the night. Don't blame me for not reminding you. You can leave quickly while it's not dark yet."
After hearing this, several people felt that there was something wrong here, and they couldn't help but feel curious, so they couldn't leave.
Hei Xiaose immediately smiled, walked forward two steps, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, it's so dark, there are so many wild animals outside, we dare not go out. Today, we must stay here for one night. Don't worry, we won't live in vain, we will pay."
As he said that, Hei Xiaose took out a few hundred-dollar bills from his body and handed them to the old man.
The old man didn't even look at it and said coldly: "Do you see, there is a place in our village to spend money?"
Hei Xiaose was stunned and thought to himself that this place is in the wilderness and the people closest to this place will have to walk for a day and a night, and there is indeed no place to spend money.
However, Hei Xiaose did not give up. He turned to look at Zhong Jinliang and signaled him to take out something from the folding fan.
Zhong Jinliang turned around, whispered inside the folding fan for a moment, took out a few bags of cooked food, and handed it over to a few bags of salt.
When the old man saw the things in Hei Xiaose's hand, his eyes lit up. He put down the hatchet in his hand and took the things in Hei Xiaose's hand.
Hei Xiaose winked at everyone behind him, and they found a place to sit down.
The old man was not polite, so he took the bags of cooked food, immediately opened the packaging, and gave the old lady some food. The two of them started eating it, and it seemed as if they hadn't eaten for a few days.
The atmosphere eased a lot. After the two old men had almost finished their meals, Hei Xiaose asked carefully: "Old man, are there only you old couples in this village?"
The old man ate some food, made his hands oily, and he randomly wiped it on his body, nodded, and said, "Yes, the people in the village moved away one after another more than ten years ago, and the family was with us. We were the old couple, with no children, and we didn't know where to move. We lived here. Originally, there were a few old guys like us living here. Recently, we have died one after another. People are old and useless. No one knows when they will be angry. Early this morning, we buried one. When our old couple dies, there will be no one in the village."
"How do people die? Why have so many people died in the past few days?" Hei Xiaose felt a little strange and couldn't help asking.
"This..." The old man was about to say something, but the old lady next to him glared at him with one eye. The old man's words came to his mouth and swallowed them back into his stomach.
"It's so late for a few young people. It's really not peaceful outside the village. There are many wild mountains and forests, wild animals, wild boars and leopards, etc. Here, you can just make do with it. There are two rooms next door, but there are not enough beds. You can make do with it and squeeze it. When it dawns tomorrow, you can leave quickly." The one-eyed old lady said in a cold voice.
"Don't worry, two old men. We will definitely leave tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hospitality." Hei Xiaose said politely.
"Let's go, I'll take you to your place to live..." The old lady got up, thought about her little feet, and took them out of the door.
At this time, everyone discovered that the old lady was actually wearing her feet, and her little feet were an authentic three-inch golden lotus, and she was walking very unsteadily.
Several people looked at each other and felt that the two old people in this village were strange everywhere. They didn't say much at the moment, and followed the old man out of the house and went straight to a room next to him.
