Chapter 3065: Visitors from afar (fourth update)
Old Yang took a big sip of the tea in front of him and said, "Okay, I won't say anything else, since you all think this marriage is a good one. , so be it.”
“In a word, it’s up to them to live their own lives, as long as they live in peace and harmony in the future,” the old man said.
Yang Huazhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Ruoqing also smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Sir, I know that you are the most enlightened and wisest person in our old Yang family. You are the most enlightened master in the world..."
Next, turn on the flattery mode...
The news that Daan and Xiaohua are getting engaged swept the whole village overnight like a hurricane.
The next day, everyone in the village knew about it, and soon everyone in the neighboring villages also knew about it.
A bunch of young ladies and young daughters-in-law are waiting to be married. Their hearts are broken and their tears have dried up.
Xiaohua and Mrs. Sun went to the vegetable garden, and everyone along the way looked at them with envy.
"Don't be shy, there is nothing to be shy about. We women have to go through this!"
Sun turned around, took Xiaohua's hand, and said gently and lovingly.
Xiaohua raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Sun, blushing and nodded gently.
“Third Aunt, I’ll carry the basket,” she said.
Ms. Sun smiled, "You silly girl, why are you still calling me third aunt? It's time to call me mother instead!"
Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and her face became even redder.
Mrs. Sun raised her hand and stroked Xiaohua's hair, "I am both a mother and a mother-in-law. Why are you ashamed of me? I came here when I was six or seven years old. I have long regarded you as my own. My daughter, I always dream that you can find a good husband. , let me rest assured.”
“Now, I am going to be your mother-in-law again. Last night, your father and I were so happy that we couldn’t sleep, talking about it all night long!” br>As Mrs. Sun spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed again.
Xiaohua felt warm in her heart. She looked at the kind and loving Mrs. Sun in front of her, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Mrs. Sun's arm.
She sweetly shouted: "Mom!"
The two came back from the vegetable garden and met Osmanthus and the others along the way.
Guihua and the others greeted her enthusiastically, "Are you two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, here to pick vegetables?"
Xiaohua blushed and smiled shyly at Guihua, while Sun was generous. Said: "Yes, tomorrow I will For the engagement banquet, I told Hua'er that we would pick some vegetables and prepare them."
While Sun and Xiaohua were busy preparing the ingredients for tomorrow's engagement banquet, Yang Ruoqing was busy receiving them. A guest from afar.
"Brother Damo, how did you find this place?"
In the main room of Yang Ruoqing's house, Yang Ruoqing served tea and water to the three men from the mountains sitting at the table, and took some shredded tobacco. asked enthusiastically.
Yes, these three people are the brothers Da Mo and Xiao Mo and Ge Dadan that they met in Sishan'ao Village.
In order to follow Tuobaling at close range, who went into the mountains to hunt for treasure, she followed him all the way to Sishan'ao Village.
Tuo Ba Ling stayed at Ge Dadan's house, and she settled in his house thanks to the warm-hearted Damo.
Damo gave her the potatoes that he was reluctant to eat, and gave her his house, protecting Yang Ruoqing in every possible way.
He is a kind-hearted mountain man.
So before leaving, Yang Ruoqing left her address to Damo, asking him to look for her outside the mountains whenever he couldn't stay in the mountains any longer.
"Brother Damo, I originally thought you would never have the courage to come out. I didn't expect you to come out. I'm so happy." Yang Ruoqing continued. Damo smiled and rubbed his hands and said: "The life in the mountains is really too hard, I can't stand it anymore."
"In the second half of last year, after you guys left, there was a drought in the mountains, and the two big wells in the village dried up."
"My eldest brother called the men in the village together and climbed several mountain ridges to get there. The search for water is exhausting.”
“People are dying of thirst, not to mention the livestock in the village. They are almost dying of thirst. "
"I told my elder brother at that time that if it didn't work out, let's move the whole village. If we stay here, we would be waiting for death."
"But my elder brother didn't agree. The elderly people also refused, saying that this is a place left to us by our ancestors and we cannot leave. If anyone leaves, the pig lady will punish us." Damo said.
Yang Ruoqing was surprised. She didn't expect what Sishan'ao Village had experienced after she and others left.
"Then how did you come out now? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the pig lady?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
This time, Damo sighed, with unspeakable sadness on his face.
Xiao Mo also drooped his head and kept silent while holding tea in his hand.
Ge Dayan pulled out the cigarette stick from his mouth, took over the conversation and said: "They won't tell, I will."
"During the drought, all the poultry and livestock in the village died. Damo's sister-in-law just gave birth to a baby at that time, and it was still a boy."
"That woman couldn't eat chicken. There was no milk in those things, and the child was left hanging half-dead, and eventually suffered from 'dry disease'." Ge Da Dan said.
"Dry disease?" Yang Ruoqing was even more surprised, "What kind of disease is that?"
Ge Dadan said: "To put it bluntly, you are thirsty. If you are thirsty, you will scratch yourself. , the hair and scalp on his head were all scratched by himself, and he left in less than three months..."
Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes wide, it was the first time that she had such a disease. Heard.
Here, Damo sighed, and continued: "The child is gone, and my sister-in-law went crazy not long after, running around everywhere every day."
"Don't take off your pants no matter how crowded there are, Xiaomo went to the forest to find food, and I went to find water. My elder brother could only follow her without doing anything."
"The woman finally fell to the bottom of the cliff. When she went down, my eldest brother put his own legs in to save her."
"When my brother became lame, I wanted to take him out of the mountain, but my brother still refused."
“He said that my father, my father, and his son are all staying on the mountain behind Sishan’ao Village, and he cannot leave.”
"Ten days ago, my eldest brother died of illness. Before he died, he called Xiao Mo and me to the bedside and said that he was dying and asked us to finish his first seven weeks and then go out."
"If you don't leave the mountain, you will only die if you stay in the mountain, let alone get a wife..." Damo said.
Ge Dadan took the words and said: "Yes, if their family wants to continue the incense, they have to go out to the mountains. The same is true for our old Ge family. If we don't want to have no descendants, we have to go out to the mountains to fight!"
“No, I heard When Da Mo and Xiao Mo were about to come out, I was the first to follow them out. "
"I asked my two younger brothers to wait in the village. As long as I found some errands to do, I would pick them up immediately. Come out,”
"People are starving to death in any place where our ancestors have been for generations. I don't care who has stayed in this place. I have to pack up and leave!" Ge Dadan said.
Yang Ruoqing glanced at Ge Dayan and nodded secretly. This Ge Dayan was a little greedy and afraid of death, but he had a clear mind.
Having said that, who is not greedy for life and afraid of death?
If a person doesn't even care about his own life or death, then he has nothing to pursue as a human being, let alone care about the life and death of the people around him!
