Chapter 8274 Who lost something?
Changping Village, by the river at the foot of Mianniu Mountain.
In the dead of night, everything is silent except for the mountain wind howling in the forest. The water in the river at the foot of the mountain has receded to its lowest point, almost drying up in some places, leaving only a small puddle.
Withered and rotten aquatic plants clung to the mud in the river, emitting a fishy stench.
On the river dam, a carriage came from far to near. A windproof horse lantern was hung on the front of the carriage. Two farm men sat side by side to drive the carriage.
In the carriage, the eldest Sun and her sisters were also sitting next to each other, talking quietly.
Whether it is at the front or the rear of the car, there is a butcher's knife.
When he went out earlier, Yang Huazhong was going to take a hatchet and put it in the car, firstly to ward off evil spirits, and secondly to defend himself.
As a result, he was directly replaced by Da Sun. In Da Sun's words, "Your hatchet has never seen blood and has no murderous intent. Use mine!"
One of my own! A wide butcher's knife, a long and thin boning knife.
The two knives were placed on the carriage. At that time, the horse was a little restless when he saw the two knives. Yang Huazhong gently stroked the horse's head and put his ears to soothe the horse for a while before it calmed down.
So along the way, with the shock of these two knives, the four of them became a lot more courageous.
It is two or three miles from Changping Village to the Taoist Temple. After leaving the village, walk all the way to the foot of the mountain behind, then turn right when you reach the river, and continue walking along the river dam on the right.
This road is all uphill, and there are large fields of crops on the right side of the river dam.
The fields in Changping Village, Lijia Village, Yujia Village, and Zhengjia Village are all together.
In spring and summer, this field is very pleasant, but in the middle of winter, the field is barren and barren. Looking at it, in the vast and barren field, I wonder whose cotton stalks have not been pulled out in time, or whose family. The scarecrow planted in the ground to scare the birds has not been removed. At first glance, it looks like someone is standing there with arms crossed.
"You can't look around at night, and you can't see clearly. It's scary to death!"
Da Sun lowered the curtains of the car and touched the hair on her arms and body Sun next to me said this.
Mrs. Sun twitched the corner of her mouth. Because she had something to worry about, she put on a forced smile to deal with Mrs. Sun.
Da Sun said not to look around, but she couldn't sit still for a moment in the carriage. In addition, Sun's voice was low and a little perfunctory, so Da Sun turned her head and looked to the right. outside the car window.
On the right is the river, and on the other side of the river is the mountain. The mountain at night is like a sleeping black beast, lying there, from south to north, traversing east and west.
"Sister, you said that I am not afraid of anything today, why do I feel a little flustered tonight?"
Da Sun looked at the mountains outside the right window and patted her own He said again in his heart.
Ms. Sun raised her head and smiled and said, "Sister, then don't look outside."
Xiao Jie's father, who was driving the carriage in front, heard this and said, "Sister said so. Yes, don’t keep looking outside, it’s dark everywhere at night, there’s nothing to see!”
Da Sun curled her lips and said, "Why do men get in the way when women are talking? You are so busy driving your carriage, and you will drive us into the ditch later. I am asking you!"
Xiaojie's dad haha After laughing twice, Yang Huazhong also laughed.
The laughter of the men emboldened the women that night.
After two or three miles of journey, the four of them arrived at an uphill ridge called ‘Yikeshu’.
There are many trees in this place. There are trees on both sides of the river dam. Because of the high terrain, the river ditch is nearly twenty meters high from the river dam. It extends downward from the river dam, layer upon layer. It's trees. At the turn of spring and summer, these trees simply block out the sky and the sun. If you look up from the river below, you can't see the sky. If you stand on the river dam and look down, you can't see the river either.
Some drunk people passed by here after drinking. If they walked incorrectly, they might have fallen from the right.
But because the bottom was supported by trees, he didn’t fall into the river, but hung on the branches. When his family came to find him, they found that he was still sleeping in the tree!
These trees are a natural protective barrier, which has benefits, but also disadvantages.
For example, some men and women in Shiliba Village like to take other people’s wives, or they like to go out with other people’s men to do something in the village, in the wheat fields, in the cotton trenches, or in their own firewood houses. When I am waiting behind a latrine for something inconvenient to do, I will also choose to come here.
Because under the layers of trees is soft riverside grass, a stone arch bridge is erected on the river, and the underside of the arch bridge can provide shelter from wind and rain.
So, when the carriage arrived nearby and started to turn on the arch bridge to the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, Da Sun once again raised the curtains of the carriage to look outside.
At the same time, he was still holding back a smile and said: "I have never been to these places late at night like this. I want to keep my eyes open and take a closer look to see if I can catch a few pairs of wild animals. "Mandarin ducks."
Ms. Sun couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, hurry up." Don't look at it, it's such a cold day, and there's no way there's anyone outside."
But Da Sun said, "That's impossible to say, the wild mandarin ducks are not afraid of the cold, and they can hug them even in the ice and snow. Take a nap in the snow ”
Sun was speechless.
The eldest sister is still very playful despite her age. She just hopes that the two men in front of her won't hear these words, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing.
As for the two men in front, how could they not hear it? They both have ears!
But they both pretended not to hear, and drove the carriage carefully past the arch bridge... Suddenly, Mrs. Sun suddenly shouted:
"Hey, look, what's going on?" There’s someone there!”
Sun in the carriage was startled.
In a place like this late at night, you tell me there is someone there?
Someone!
"Sister, please stop looking blindly and quickly put down the curtains."
Sun's first reaction was to pull the car curtains wider.
But Mrs. Sun became excited, "There are really people. Look, under the bridge and by the river, they are walking with torches!"
Mrs. Sun subconsciously followed the direction pointed by Mrs. Sun. Look.
Beside the river, there was indeed fire dancing, and it really looked like someone was walking with a torch.
At this time, Yang Huazhong and Xiao Jie's father in front also heard the noise. They stopped the carriage and looked under the bridge.
Yang Huazhong said: "It's a bit far away, I can only see the torches, but I can't tell which one they are."
Da Sun said: "Walking along the river, it looks like I have lost something and I am looking for it while walking there!"
Yang Huazhong added: "Someone should be here in broad daylight. "Herding cows, maybe something dropped here."
Da Sun's heart is very gossipy, and she can compete with Liu's in this regard, and she is also a warm-hearted person. So after hearing Yang Huazhong's analysis, she rolled up her sleeves and got off the carriage to call the man over to ask.
