Looking at the book, Li Zhuiyuan felt hungry, but before Aunt Liu called for the meal, people were still busy preparing dishes in the kitchen.
Breakfast was advanced because of Xue Liangliang's voice, and lunch was postponed because of Runsheng's arrival.
I guess that at this moment, everyone is hungry.
Li Chaiyuan went to the room and chose some snacks and placed them between himself and Ali, and at the same time memorized in his heart that the next time Uncle Qin went to buy snacks for himself, he had to remind him to buy them in pairs, otherwise it would be difficult for him to choose, because Ah Li liked to eat the same snacks as himself.
When he came back from the tractor last night, the grandfather brought him a box of Jianlibao, and Li Zhuiyuan also took two bottles, opened them and placed them in front of Ali.
Ah Li held Jianlibao in both hands, lowered her head, and looked at it carefully.
Li Chaiyuan immediately said: "Drink it, you are not allowed to collect it."
Ali's head was lowered.
"If you like it, I'll get you another bottle that hasn't been opened later."
Anyway, this thing has a long shelf life and is sealed, Li Chaiyuan feels that since Grandma Liu has experienced the devastation of rotten duck eggs, she should easily accept a can.
Ah Li immediately picked up the drink, took a sip like Li Chaiyuan, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
"Is this your first time drinking?"
Ah Li looked over, her expression was not rich, but Li Chase Yuan could always understand it.
"If you like to drink, I still have a box there, you can drink a bottle every time and take a bottle away.
Ah Li quickly took another sip, although there was no other action, but Li Chaiyuan seemed to have appeared in his mind:
A cute little girl holding a Jianlibao, with curved eyebrows and happily shaking her legs.
"Let's play chess, shall we?"
When Ah Li heard this, she immediately took out the small chess box that had been placed by her side.
The two of them have always played fast chess by default, but this time, in the middle game, the two sides were evenly matched, and they competed until the end of the game, and Li Chaseyuan was considered a loss.
This was the most difficult time for Ah Li to win since the two played chess, the girl looked up at Li Chaiyuan, she was not unhappy, but brighter.
Li Zhuiyuan, who lost chess, had a smile on his lips, and this time he used part of the algorithm of "Deduction Theory" to Go on a whim, which had an unexpected effect.
The chessboard is still the same chessboard, but in Li Zuiyuan's eyes, it has become alive, which also makes his chess moves more flexible and changeable.
However, after the second game of chess began, Li Zuiyuan noticed that Ah Li's style had also changed.
After reminding her that she didn't have to give chess to herself, she really didn't want to lose to herself anymore, but she didn't mind playing more with herself every time, what she cared about was the experience of the process, and winning was just an inevitable result for her.
But this time, Li Chaiyuan found that Ah Li's chess style suddenly stabilized, step by step, almost without giving himself any flaws or opportunities.
lost, and was crushed by the girl's chess skills.
Yes, whether it is reading faces or fortune-telling, it just gives you another perspective on the world, and you are still yourself.
It's a good thing to have one more angle, which is equivalent to having more eyes or ears, but being too addicted to it, thinking that once you master it, you can really do whatever you want, just like a little ant standing on an elephant's head and looking at it, really feeling that you are so tall, that is ridiculous.
Seeing Li Chaiyuan silent, Ah Li stretched out her hand and gently pulled her sleeves.
Li Zhuiyuan had a warm smile on his face: "I was thinking about the things in the book just now, not because I lost chess, how could I be unhappy if I lost to Ah Li?"
Just after calming the girl, Aunt Liu downstairs finally called for dinner.
It was still a separate dinner table, but after Runsheng came, Li Sanjiang finally had a lonely companion.
Li Zhuyuan first divided the small plate for Ah Li, and as soon as he picked up the chopsticks and took two bites, he heard a "gurgling" sound coming from behind him, like a muffled thunder in dry land.
Turning his head to look, he found that Runsheng's stomach was ringing while sitting in the corner.
He had a large incense stick made by Aunt Liu in his rice bowl, which was already lit, and he was sitting there at the moment, waiting for the incense to burn.
Once people are overly hungry, their hunger is often not so heavy, but when delicious food is put back in front of them, the silent hunger will return twice.
This feeling of being close to your eyes but having to endure the timing and waiting is indeed a kind of torture for Runsheng.
Li Zhuiyuan asked curiously: "Brother Runsheng, do you have to wait until the incense is burned before eating?"
"Well, yes." Runsheng swallowed his saliva hard, and then made a stirring motion with his hands, "You have to mix it with incense ash to eat it."
Li Chaiyuan remembers this habit, Runsheng once said to himself, but what he wants to ask this time is: "Brother Runsheng, is there a big difference between burning it and mixing it into ashes and eating it directly?"
"Huh?" Runsheng was stunned for a moment, "I really didn't think about this, don't normal people have to wait for the incense to burn out?"
"But do normal people use incense ash bibimbap?"
"That...... Let me try?"
Runsheng pulled out the incense from the rice bowl, took a bite at the end that was not lit at the lower end, and when he chewed, not only did he not show a look of pain on his face, but his eyebrows were relaxed, as if he felt particularly refreshed.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up his chopsticks and couldn't wait to take a few big bites of rice into his mouth, and after swallowing it, he looked at the incense in his hand with a surprised look on his face and exclaimed:
"Xiaoyuan, I really ate it, and I don't feel sick anymore!"
Aunt Liu is an ancient method of making incense, although this thing is not for eating, but it is not a big deal to eat it, well, it is mainly to moisten the spleen and stomach, maybe even if there are small things that affect him, it is almost non-existent.
Runsheng took a bite of the incense happily, and then pulled the rice hard, eating it with great enthusiasm, this posture, as if he was not holding incense in his hand, but a green onion that went well with rice.
Li Chaiyuan asked: "Brother Runsheng, do you want some sauce?"
"Sauce?" Runsheng thought for a moment, and then nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes."
Aunt Liu got up and went into the kitchen, brought Runsheng a bowl of salty sauce for early porridge, and put it on his small table.
Runsheng picked up the big incense, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and took another bite, it was so delicious that his eyebrows wanted to fly up.
"Xiaoyuan, you are so powerful, this is much more delicious than waiting for the incense to burn before eating."
Runsheng seemed to have opened the door to a new world, not to mention how energetic he was.
Li Sanjiang smashed a sip of liquor, looking at Runsheng in this posture of eating, he couldn't help but laugh and scold:
"Damn it, I have to find a way to get you some authentic sauce from the Northeast in the future, that thing is delicious when dipped in anything."
Li Chaiyuan took a sip of soup, looked at Li Sanjiang, and asked: "Master, have you been to the Northeast?"
Li Sanjiang wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, sat with his legs apart, and posed like a mountain eagle:
"Didn't I just go, back then, my grandfather I was arrested and sent directly to the Northeast, and later I was still a great master and I had flexible legs and feet, and I ran all the way from the northeast to Shanhaiguan."
Li Sanjiang took another sip of wine and continued:
"After entering the customs, I thought about walking all the way south along the railway, but before I went far, I was arrested again, a set of clothes, and pushed to the front line to fight again.
But this time I had experience, taking advantage of Shangguan's drunkenness, looking at the sky, and walking away directly with a class of people at night.
When I was about to arrive at the border of Xuzhou, I saw that my hometown was right in front of me, and I was arrested again.
But this time it was very fast, and on the third day, my team was broken up, and the platoon leader wanted to reorganize us, so I beat hard below, and the entire platoon that had just been put back was scattered again.
Next, I had more mindfulness and didn't dare to walk along the railroad and the main road, where the road was small and where there were fewer people, I went wherever I went, and then I returned home smoothly.
After arriving home, I was restless and was caught again, but I slipped out of experience, they caught me during the day, and I could sneak back at night.
After that, after returning home, I secretly didn't dare to go out to wander around again, and I hid until Ansheng."
Li Chaiyuan sighed: "Master, you are really amazing."
In the three major battles, the great master actually participated in all of them.
Although they are on the opposite side, they are also constantly contributing to the frontal battlefield.
Li Sanjiang touched his stubborn chin and said humbly: "It's okay, it's okay, hehe."
Runsheng had already finished half a pot of rice at this time, and was taking a short rest, and interjected:
"When I came in the morning, I met a movie on the road, saying that it would be played in the open space of the town market tonight, and the name of the movie is "Crossing the River Reconnaissance".
Xiaoyuan, do you want to see it at night?"
"Brother Runsheng, we are going to Shigang Niu's house after dinner."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Li Sanjiang waved his hand, "It's just a fool over there, you should be able to come back early and catch up."
Li Zhuiyuan looked at Ah Li in front of him, he knew that the girl couldn't accept the scene of so many people next to each other:
"Still don't go, I'll read at home, Brother Runsheng, you and your grandfather will go and read it."
At this time, Liu Yumei suddenly said: "Ah Li is going, even if she sits far away, she has to watch this movie."
Li Chaiyuan noticed the slight tremor in Liu Yumei's tone, turned her head to look, and found that she was still eating normally, but the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little red.
This was the first time he had seen Liu Yumei lose his temper like this.
After the meal, Runsheng pushed out the cart at home, and Li Sanjiang and Li Chaiyuan sat on it.
The Runsheng cart is very stable, and I basically don't feel too many bumps, but the speed is still a bit slow.
"Marquis Runsheng, in the next few days, you can learn to pedal three wheels, that is fast."
"Uncle, why don't you buy a tractor, I'll learn that, and that one will be faster."
"Do you think my uncle looks like a tractor?"
Runsheng stopped talking.
Li Sanjiang lit a cigarette, looked at Li Chaoyuan and asked: "Xiao Yuanhou, do you think our family wants to buy a TV?"
"Master, you can buy it if you want to see it."
"The grandfather asked about you."
"Oh, I don't have much time to watch TV."
In the basement, there are still so many boxes of books waiting for me to read, how can I have time to watch TV.
"You little girl."
Li Sanjiang also wanted to use the TV to make his great-grandson happy, but found that people didn't seem to be very interested and gave him pocket money, but he didn't even go to the canteen on weekdays except for the things he bought.
Runsheng on the cart said excitedly: "It's good to buy a TV, okay."
"Okay, you're big, hurry up, do you want to watch a movie at night?"
"Oh, oh!"
Coming to the intersection in front of Niu Fu's house, Li Sanjiang got out of the car in advance, tidied up his clothes, and then raised his peach wood sword very seriously and wiped it carefully with a cloth.
After making these preparations, he walked into Niu Fu's house.
As soon as Li Sanjiang came in, they served tea and snacks, so enthusiastic.
Li Sanjiang sat down first and talked to them.
This kind of employer is actually the best to interact, because they will tell you everything like pouring beans, and then you can follow the idea they want.
Li Chaiyuan was looking for Niu Fu in the house, and he looked at several houses but couldn't find them, which made him suspect that Niu Fu couldn't live here.
After leaving the main house and coming to the woodshed next to it, Li Chaiyuan found Niu Fu.
In his original vision, Niu Fu should lie on the bed and not be left out......
But I still think too well about the filial piety of Niu Fu's children.
Niu Fu, who was paralyzed in half of his body due to an accidental fall, did not even have a bed and was placed directly in the woodshed.
The haystack under him was his bed, and on the left side was the piled up firewood, and on the right was the towering piles of debris.
There were two bowls next to it, one bowl was quite clean with water, and the other bowl was dirty, and I don't know how many layers of dirt had accumulated, it should be for rice.
As for Niu Fu's clothes, his upper body was naked, without clothes, and he was wearing a pair of shorts on his lower body, dirty, almost scabbed on his body, and smelly.
Also, the children are not even willing to sleep on the bed, let alone wash their bodies and change clothes.
Li Zhuiyuan covered his nose with his hand and approached slightly.
After all, he is only fifty years old, and at this age in the countryside, he still belongs to the category of "strong labor".
But now, Niu Fu's whole body has lost too much weight, his mouth is open and he keeps chattering, and he doesn't know if he is talking or an uncontrollable reaction.
When Li Chaiyuan came in, he glanced sideways slightly, then moved back again, looking blankly at the roof.
After watching for a while, Li Chaiyuan came out, outside the woodshed, taking a big breath of fresh air.
"Meow."
A cat meowed, and on the wall beside him, a disabled and ugly old black cat paced out.
It looked at Li Chaiyuan and raised its paws to lick it.
"Don't you think it's too quiet?"
The black cat's paw licking motion froze.
"Everyone thinks that the other does not exist and lacks interaction, so you can make some movements at night to promote the intensification of the conflict."
"Meow......
This time, there was an extra tremor in the cat's meow.
Li Sanjiang started a ritual in the yard, and his two sons, who had no time to wash the dishes for their father, were all kneeling in front of the offering table with their daughter-in-law at this moment, extremely religious.
After the ritual was over, Li Sanjiang patted them on the shoulders in turn with a peach wood sword, and comforted them aloud:
"Don't worry, you know what evil things your father has done, some debts, the old man will settle them, and the old man will settle them, and they will not implicate you, so put your heart in your stomach.
If you think the bad luck hasn't gone away, it's not impossible, just lead the remaining bad luck to other close relatives, but you have to bite your mouth to death, but you must not say it, otherwise even your relatives will have nothing to do."
"Lead, lead, we lead, uncle, please help us lead!"
"Forget it, don't do it, it's too harmful to people and ruin my Taoist practice."
Li Sanjiang began to take Qiao, and when another red envelope was delivered, he sighed and said,
"That's it, in that case, I will help you lure away bad luck, but you have to keep your mouth shut and don't let it out."
"Uncle, don't worry, we understand, we understand."
Li Sanjiang performed another ritual for them, and after finishing, he said:
"Okay, the remaining bad luck has already led you to the second and third families."
With the great thanks of everyone in Niu, Li Sanjiang took Li Chaiyuan and Runsheng out.
When sitting on the cart to Niu Rui's house, Li Chaiyuan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, I originally thought you would preach to them."
"Preach to them? Hehe, your grandfather and I haven't had any water in my brain. Is it necessary for people who even need to preach to their adoptive parents?
It's better to ask for more money, and I can also buy more pig's head meat and wine.
I just hope that there will be no more accidents under the Niu family, and if something happens again, I won't be able to circle my grandfather, and I'm really afraid of smashing the sign."
"Isn't that death solved by you?"
"Yes, that's right."
Li Chaiyuan knew that there would indeed be no more accidents, and after all three children were tortured to the end, the old lady with a cat face would also dissipate on its own.
When he was about to arrive at Niu Rui's house, he saw Niu Rui squatting there on a small stove frying medicine, and next to him was the sarcastic voices of his children, saying that his medicines were useless except for money, and they could not be cured no matter how they were cured.
Although he relied on his own mother, Mrs. Niu, to wipe his buttocks, he still had a violent temper in his bones.
He couldn't hold back his anger, stood up, and slapped his daughter-in-law who was still holding the child.
The son roared and came up to hit Niu Rui, and Niu Rui started fighting with his son again.
Although he said he had a strange disease, he was at the moment when his condition was just under control, and he and his son scuffled on the ground for a while, and the fight was inseparable.
Seeing this, Niu Rui's wife screamed and scratched Niu Rui's face, angrily scolding him for not being a thing.
The cries of children, the scuffles, and the scolding converge together, like a symphony playing on the dam.
When Li Sanjiang arrived, they stopped, and then the whole family's blue noses and swollen faces all changed into flattering and flattering smiles.
Niu Rui was personally rescued by Li Sanjiang, and the Niu family had also heard the voice of the long-deceased old lady Niu coming from the old house, and they were very convinced of Li Sanjiang.
After inviting Li Sanjiang into the house respectfully, everyone began to cry and beg.
After Li Sanjiang comforted them, he started doing the ritual again.
After the first set was completed, Li Sanjiang said the same words to attract bad luck, and Niu Rui's son immediately sent another red seal, and Li Sanjiang performed another ritual.
But before leaving, Niu Rui secretly stuffed another red seal and prayed to Li Sanjiang to exorcise evil spirits and cure his illness.
Li Sanjiang also accepted it, saying that he would help him set up a permanent candle when he went back, but he also told him that no matter what, he had to take medicine on time and couldn't stop.
I will accept your money to pray for you and play a psychological comforting role, but you have to continue to take medicine and continue to see a doctor.
However, this request will undoubtedly continue to exacerbate the conflict between Niu Rui and his family.
Because Li Chaiyuan knew that Niu Rui's illness could not be cured, and it would be a bottomless pit that kept bringing you hope and deeper despair. Niu Fu was paralyzed and completely lost his ability to take care of himself, so his status suddenly declined, and Niu Rui was still in the struggle stage.
Although Niu Rui is not too miserable at this time, as long as the current contradictions continue to accumulate, the near future will definitely detonate more brilliant fireworks.
Look at the hateful eyes that his family has already raised towards him, the ending will not disappoint.
Therefore, when the black cat passed by him this time, Li Chaiyuan just nodded calmly.
When she came to Niu Lian's house, Li Sanjiang was invited in by her family as usual.
Li Chaiyuan didn't see Niu Lian in the main house, so he went to the woodshed to take a look, but there was none.
Finally, he saw Niu Lian tied there with iron chains next to the pigsty, and on the other side, there was the toilet at home.
It means that every time her family comes here to go to the toilet and sit on the dragon chair, they can talk to her.
is quite considerate of the old man, afraid that she will be lonely and lonely.
The basin she eats is next to the pig trough, and next to the basin is leaning on the spoon that scoops feed the pigs, it looks like they will also feed her when feeding the pigs.
As long as the pig has a bite to eat, she will not be missing half a bite.
She was awake now, not numb, and saw an outsider coming, covering her face with her hands, which was to hide her shame.
Her grandson and granddaughter, Li Chaoyuan, saw it, one with bandages on his head and the other on his arms, all of whom should have been injured when Niu Lian fell ill.
The two children, while spitting at her, smashed her with stones, not playfully, but specifically threw them at them.
The child's parents also saw it, but they didn't stop it, but their eyes were full of hatred.
The black cat walked out from the eaves above the pigsty.
Li Chaiyuan didn't say anything, walked away, and then, Niu Lian's prayer came from the pigsty, saying that her illness was cured, and begged her children to let her go, and she was cured.
She was greeted by abuse from her children and a few hard kicks from her son when he came up in one breath.
Niu Lian was kicked and curled up in the corner, screaming like a dog.
Obviously, they believed it before and were also "deceived".
The black cat jumped down step by step along the tall and short objects from above, and finally walked to Li Chaiyuan's feet, rubbing Li Zhuiyuan's trouser legs with his cat face.
Li Chaiyuan bent down and touched its head.
The black cat enjoyed it, almost leaning on it and opening its belly.
The grandfather began to perform rituals, and as usual, he received an extra red seal to help attract bad luck to those two families.
When he left Niu Lian's house and returned home, Runsheng, who was pushing the car, steadily supported the car with one arm, and began to break his fingers with his other hand to calculate:
"The second and third families of the old family have all asked the uncle to pass on the bad luck to other families, isn't that the same as bad luck not spreading?"
Li Chaiyuan corrected: "Brother Runsheng, it's different."
"What's different?"
"Because the grandfather received three extra money."
"Yes, Xiaoyuan, you are right!"
After Li Sanjiang ate, he yawned and waved his hand: "I won't watch the movie, take a shower and go to bed, I'm tired to death."
Today's ritual is intensive, even young people can't stand dancing six dances in an afternoon, but the grandfather gritted his teeth and persevered.
Uncle Qin was waiting with many benches, and Aunt Liu didn't care about cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks as usual, so she put down all the housework for the time being and waited together.
Liu Yumei changed into a cheongsam, wore jewelry, and put on rouge.
As an old lady at her age, makeup is often not to look good, but to show respect.
The movie was shown in the open space next to the town market, and before it started, someone came to take a seat early.
Uncle Qin and Runsheng, the two of them squeezed inside, put the bench down, and forcibly opened a gap.
The two of them had such physiques, the people next to them dared not be angry and dared not speak, so they could only lower their heads and move away their stools.
However, Uncle Qin took out a lot of candy from his pocket and gave it to the children, and then took out cigarettes and gave them to the adults, and the people around him happily accepted them, and there was no longer any dissatisfaction.
Liu Yumei and Aunt Liu sat between the two, although she was old, she still looked good-looking, looking at her back, and seemed out of place with her surroundings.
As for Li Chaiyuan, he and Qin Li sat in a corner where no one was around, a little far away from the screen and relatively remote, the viewing effect was not good, but the better thing was that no one disturbed him, and in itself, this kind of crowded place was not suitable for Qin Li.
A few small vendors pushing carts set up stalls in the back, selling cheap snacks and small toys.
Some children are buying things, and more can only look at them with envy, giving some advice to children who have money to buy things.
Li Chaiyuan touched his pocket, when he lived in Li Weihan's house before, Cui Guiying would regularly order pocket money for herself alone, but every time the money came to her hands, she would be surrounded by her brothers and sisters and go to Aunt Zhang's canteen to buy snacks and share them with everyone.
On the second day after being sent to his grandfather's house to "become a monk", when Li Weihan and Cui Guiying came to deliver clothes to them, they stuffed themselves with some money, but this time they stuffed more money.
In addition, Li Sanjiang will also give himself pocket money, and Li Chaiyuan usually has no consumer needs, so he saves all this money.
At least in the circle of children, he is very rich.
"Ah Li, you sit here and wait for me."
Immediately, Li Chaiyuan walked to a vendor and bought two bubble-blowing toys.
After coming back, he was one and Qin Li was one.
During the movie screening, the two kept blowing bubbles in the back.
Ah Li had a great time, one pot quickly bottomed out, considering that the girl had a habit of collecting, Li Chaiyuan bought her three more.
At the same time, I swept between the three stalls and ended up buying a pair of ropes.
In fact, there are many trinkets on the stall, such as bow hairpins, colored headbands, etc., but Li Chaiyuan considered that Ah Li was dressed up by Grandma Liu herself every day, and felt that wearing these would not be very effective.
The most important thing is that he knew that if he gave it, she would definitely wear it, and finally decided not to deprive Liu Yumei of the joy of changing her granddaughter's clothes every morning.
Ahri looked at the red bracelet on her wrist, she should like it very much, because she stopped blowing bubbles.
However, she soon looked at Li Chaiyuan's wrist again.
Li Chaiyuan raised her hand, revealing her blue bracelet, and she was satisfied and continued to blow bubbles.
After the movie screening, Liu Yumei and the others came out.
Runsheng was very excited to watch, kept saying the lines in the movie, and regretted that there was no war now, otherwise he could have become a scout across the river.
Li Zhuiyuan smiled and echoed him, feeling that Runsheng was really suitable, and his professional ability was barely compatible.
Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu were very silent, it felt like they had just attended a relative's funeral.
Liu Yumei held a handkerchief and wiped her tears as she walked.
Li Chaiyuan greeted him politely, but when he saw that Liu Yumei was unwilling to speak, he gave up.
When the group was walking back from the town market, they saw Aunt Zhang, a canteen running on the opposite village road:
"There's a call, there's a call, I'm looking for you!"
……
The on-site seminar on the river boat took much longer than expected, and local comrades would definitely seize every opportunity to spare no effort to promote the project.
In fact, most of these comrades on the ship did not understand water conservancy and engineering, but this did not prevent them from listening with relish.
Because the construction of this bridge not only considers professional things, but also needs to combine various factors such as shipping needs, urban planning, highway construction and even military.
The most important thing is the speed of social development, it is not that I have not learned similar lessons before, I thought it was bold and radical planning in advance, but not long after the construction was completed, I realized that it was still too conservative.
Finally, when it was getting dark, the seminar was over.
The boat began to sail towards the shore, and everyone took out their cigarettes and shared them with each other.
Xue Liangliang didn't smoke, so he stood alone by the side of the boat, and after learning that Baijia Town might be located under his feet, he was a little restless.
Suddenly, he heard movement under the river.
He looked down, and under the water, it seemed that a figure had emerged.
At this time, a hand slapped his shoulder, and Xue Liangliang was startled.
Looking back, it was Luo Tingrui.
"What's wrong, Liangliang, I just saw that you have been in a state of despair."
"Director, I'm fine."
"Why, don't you like to participate in such meetings?"
"No, director, I may not have a break, I know the importance of this kind of meeting."
"Well, since you plan to devote yourself to this industry in the future, you must learn to adapt, those of us who are professionals can easily have the idea of looking down on administration, but without an efficient and stable organization, many things cannot be implemented.
"I understand, Director." Xue Liangliang knew that Luo Tingrui was reminding himself.
"Let's go, we went ashore, you have a good night's sleep on the way back, don't delay tomorrow's class."
"Okay, Director."
Back on the shore, he got on the bus, Xue Liangliang sat in the back row, and soon after the car started, he fell asleep in a daze.
He opened his eyes, and then he was stunned, sitting in the car seat, but he didn't know where the water came in the car, and the water level had flooded his waist.
He looked ahead, the small lights in the car were on, he could see the people sitting in front of him, and he could even hear the whispered conversations between them.
"The car is in the water, driver, master, the car is in the water!"
Xue Liangliang shouted, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone seemed to be unaware.
"Master, stop, the car is in the water, Master! Director, Director!"
Still no one responded to him.
Gradually, the water surface flooded to his chest, and Xue Liangliang began to pull the car window, but it was dark outside, and the car window couldn't be pulled at all.
At this moment, a figure seemed to pass through the darkness in front of him, so fast that Xue Liangliang mistakenly thought it was his own dazzling.
But soon, the figure appeared again, and his face was stuck on the car window.
Through the small light in the car, the gloomy face was reflected, and the man and woman could not be distinguished for a while.
"Click......
But at this moment, the car window was suddenly opened, and it was suddenly pulled to the maximum.
The next moment, the water in the car seemed to have finally found its only outlet, and it all rushed towards him.
Xue Liangliang felt that his whole body was squeezed out by the current, he was rushed out of the car window, fell into pitch blackness, and his body continued to drift uncontrollably.
"Wow, ......."
I don't know how long I have been drifting, as if I was photographed by Jiang Tao, I felt severe soreness under my body, and I was awake.
He lowered his head and found that he was lying on the bank of the river, with jagged stones below, and blood stains on his palms, arms, chest, and thighs were also rubbed with blood.
There were no major wounds, but this kind of large-scale abrasion was really painful.
Enduring the pain, Xue Liangliang stood up with difficulty, his eyes swept around, the moonlight above his head was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, causing the environment below to be full of haze.
But I can probably tell that this is by the river, not far from the location where I got on the boat to hold a seminar before.
But I didn't leave Nantong by car a long time ago, why did I come back here?
Xue Liangliang felt dazed, and suddenly, he saw a woman appear in front of him.
The woman was wearing a blue skirt with a ponytail, holding a porcelain bottle in her left hand and a black umbrella in her right hand.
Why does she hold an umbrella?
When Xue Liangliang had this idea, he realized that it was raining in the sky, and it was raining heavily, and the huge raindrops were painful on his body.
This rain ...... Is it always down?
"Hey, who are you!"
Xue Liangliang shouted at the woman.
The woman didn't seem to hear his words, so she walked straight towards the river with an umbrella.
After getting closer, Xue Liangliang saw the woman's face clearly, her makeup and eyebrows were a little dusty, but she was very young.
The main reason is that Xue Liangliang came to the hospital and then to the river after coming out of Siyuan Village, and did not have a chance to look at the police bulletin board, otherwise he would see the woman's photo appearing there at this time, and the police have wanted her.
At this time, seeing that the woman was still blindly walking towards the river, Xue Liangliang stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm holding the umbrella:
"Don't think about what you want to do, you can't go any further!"
The woman ignored it and continued to walk forward.
"Poof......
Xue Liangliang only felt an incredible force coming from the woman, and he directly brought him over.
Immediately afterwards, he found that his hand seemed to be stuck to the woman's arm, and he couldn't break free, and she took him to the river together.
This posture is really very uncomfortable, not only can I not maintain balance, but I also let my lower body experience friction on the stones all the time.
When the woman stepped into the river, Xue Liangliang balanced her body with the buoyancy of the water, but next, there was a strong feeling of choking and suffocation, which was even more terrifying.
He struggled but to no avail.
The woman continued to travel, she walked at the bottom of the river, the surroundings were dark, Xue Liangliang floated up, one hand was still stuck to the woman's arm, but the whole person came above the woman.
He wanted to shout, but every time he opened his mouth, the water rushed in first, completely stopping him from speaking.
He had to use his other hand to grab the woman's hair, and after wrapping the hair in his hand, he began to exert force.
The woman's figure did not change at all, and continued to move forward at the bottom of the river, Xue Liangliang's original upward force turned into a downward fit, which made his whole body stick to the woman's back.
The hair began to grow longer, growing incredibly, and they were extremely tough, even if there were only a few hanging there, Xue Liangliang couldn't tear it off, but the more he tried to break away, the tighter he was tied.
In the end, he almost changed into a position holding a woman from behind while the woman was marching on his back.
The desperate feeling of suffocation continued, Xue Liangliang could no longer calculate how long he hadn't breathed, he was very uncomfortable and in pain, but for some reason, he still remained conscious.
This is by no means lucky because it allows you to taste the torment more clearly and intuitively.
Now, he was already praying that he could drown quickly, so that he would be relieved as soon as possible.
I don't know how long it took, but there was actually a light in front of me.
Under the Yangtze River, how can there be light?
And under the light, the shadow of the house is faintly visible.
At the bottom of the river, there is not only light, but there are really villages and towns.
Suddenly, Xue Liangliang only felt that all the hair that had bound him had drifted away, and even the hand that was stuck could be released.
Instead of floating upwards, he landed on the ground.
The woman continued to move forward, following the guidance of the light, towards the vaguely visible village and town.
Xue Liangliang was extremely horrified to find that not only the woman who was carrying him down in front of him, but also in the darkness of the riverbed as far as his eye could see, there seemed to be many figures, all dressed in long-haired women's clothing, wearing different styles and even different eras.
They all had a dead face, walked without emotion, and were all moving in one direction.
The water flow around him seemed to have a fixed flow direction, and Xue Liangliang, who was slumped on the ground, only felt that his body was being pulled in that direction uncontrollably.
He instinctively wanted to grab everything under him that could be grabbed and fixed, but they all failed.
No matter how much he resisted or was unwilling at the moment, it could not change the reality that he was being forcibly taken away.
Finally,
It was closer to the light, and when it looked from a distance, it was just a ray of light, but when I looked closer, I realized that it was a general convergence of red and white lantern light sources.
And the figure of the village and town has become more three-dimensional and clear, the houses are neatly arranged, and there is a niche at the door of each house, with a permanent lamp lit on it, emitting a green and faint light.
Directly in front of him, an archway appeared, very majestic and simple, stained with a large amount of moss.
Two rows of hanging lanterns are hung on both sides, from top to bottom, from largest to smallest.
on the left is the red lantern, which represents festivity; On the right is a white lantern, which indicates the silence of death.
Xue Liangliang looked at the center of the archway, and there were three words on it.
From right to left,
"Baijia Town."
