The old man also noticed my look, so he asked softly: "Oh... family ugly, I made you laugh."
It seems that the story told by the aunt is indeed true, but I couldn't help but ask: "Old gentleman, if this is the case, why not consider adopting one?"
Speaking of the old gentleman’s eyes suddenly filled with regret, he continued to say to me: "This matter, it is indeed my old lady and me. We also know that in today's society, many families who cannot have children have chosen to adopt. But you also know that in our lonely village, let alone I’m still the village head, so I can’t give up this face. Because my daughter-in-law has a tire within five months each time, her belly is not very obvious. I don’t know about it, but for so many years, there hasn’t been an heir in the family, and there has indeed been a lot of rumors. So last year, our family discussed it and decided that if this one had another tire, we would adopt one. But who would have thought that this last one actually landed safely."
"Then this is a good thing." As soon as I heard this, I immediately interrupted the old gentleman and said happily for him.
Who knew he immediately shook his hand and said: "Actually, it is a good thing. When my daughter-in-law’s belly lasted for five months, let’s not mention how happy our family was. After waiting for seven or eight months, it was obviously bulging. At that time, everyone in the village came forward to congratulate and thank you. At that time, we were also the happiest time. The whole family was waiting for the child to land. But the result..." The old man's voice suddenly stopped, and he was alone there. He shook his head desperately.
"What happened? Did an accident happen in eight months?" I was wrong, didn't I just say that I was born. But looking at him now, it is clearly very sad and painful.
The old man paused, and then said: "As long as my daughter-in-law is pregnant every time, we can't bear to let her do anything. Of course, there can be no accidents. This child was born in the end, but …" At the end of the speech, the old man suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words in my ear.
……
…… It was getting dark soon, the old gentleman had already left, and I sat in the shop for an afternoon by myself.
There is a note on the table with the address of Fengming Village written on it. Yes, I agreed to the old gentleman's request, and the time was set to leave in three days, because I wanted to prepare.
In fact, I have nothing to prepare, but I don't know why, I feel a little timid. I'm afraid I will encounter something supernatural when I go this time. Now I really hope to get in touch with Uncle and Xiaoli. Ever since I was attacked in the Zheng Ge supermarket, I am now unsure whether my body of six suns can resist ghosts. In fact, I should reject the old man, but after listening to his story, I felt relented for a while.
Before leaving, I simply searched Fengming Village on the Internet in an attempt to learn more. But the Internet is full of praise that it is beautiful and outstanding. There is no such situation as the old gentleman village chief said. This is also normal. How can those negative effects be spread online
Finally, I went to the temple again, the abbot had changed, and I did not interact with any monks, just worshipped the Bodhisattva alone.
Before leaving, I left my contact number and destination for this trip at the door. I pray that the uncle or Xiaoli will come to find me and learn about my whereabouts.
I set off, with an uneasy heart. Fengming Village is not in the urban area, but in Fengqiao Town, a suburb farther than Shuixie County. The white car has its own navigation, so I won’t need my phone this time. Some time ago, I took the time to go to the hospital. The hospital said I might be allergic. After taking the allergy medicine the doctor gave me, I really don’t feel static when sitting on it.
After learning the lessons of Niutoushan, this time when I arrived at Fengqiao Town, I first inquired about the town, and they were very enthusiastic and showed me the way. I was really relieved now, and finally I didn't go wrong.
The development here is much faster than that of Shuixie County, so it is also more lively, and the road along the way is almost always crowded.
Fengming Village.
Under the guidance of the navigation, I saw the legendary Fengming Village. At the entrance of the village, I got out of the car astonished by what I saw.
This... Is this the village I expected in my mind? At this scale, it's a small town.
Not to mention anything else, this town and village stone alone is worth millions at least. It must be at least two meters high and almost three meters in diameter. I was standing next to me like a little ant. I took out a note and carefully compared the address given to me by the village chief. After repeated confirmations, I continued to drive towards the village. I made an appointment with the village chief and met at the village committee.
As I went all the way in, I felt a little more confused, and the situation was not like the village chief described it. It’s not well developed, and the roads are all cement roads, and every household is almost a small villa. The experience of Ghost Town and Zheng Ge made me understand the end of blind action. And there must be weird things going wrong here, so I decided to find someone around here to inquire about the situation.
It just happened that I was a little hungry. I looked at the streets here and there is no shortage of fast food restaurants. It seems that the flow of people here should still be OK. I like quietness, so I choose a place with relatively few people. This suburb doesn't need an inch of money in the city, so it is very convenient to park the car.
"Boss, do you have food?" Maybe it's not enough to eat, and there are no people in this family, but the decoration is pretty good, although it is not very luxurious, but it has a little more earthy taste.
"Yes, please sit down. There is a menu on the wall, so you can order whatever you want." The boss walked out of the kitchen enthusiastically when he heard that he was there. The consumption here is cheaper than in the downtown area, so I ordered a few more dishes. Since I have to drive a while later, I ordered drinks.
Seeing how bold I ordered, the boss seemed more enthusiastic. After waiting for the dishes to be served, he sat next to me and chatted with me enthusiastically: "Little man, see you are a new face. Come here to play. of?"
I took a bite of the meal and found it was quite delicious. I didn’t plan to tell him the true purpose of my trip, so while swallowing the food in my throat, I thought of a saying: “Playing? I’ve been here once before, but it wasn’t as well developed at that time. , Now there is still a place to play in this blink of an eye?" My tone of voice was full of rhetorical questions, and the expressions matched perfectly. Let alone the boss, I almost believed it myself.
The boss laughed as soon as he heard it, "Little brother, then you have not been here for at least ten years."
When I heard that it was so, but I thought to myself, it was wrong. Didn't the village head tell me that day, didn't there be natural disasters here every year, was it a deliberate mischief against me? It seems that I have to investigate the situation carefully, and if there is something wrong, I will go back to the house directly.
So I pretended to be very curious and asked: "No, when I first came in, I thought I had taken the wrong place. I didn't expect you to develop so fast in ten years. It seems that your village chief is still a little bit curious. Leading ability.” I deliberately pointed the topic to the village chief, just to try to see if I could find out something.
The boss's reaction even verified my conjecture, and saw him disdainfully say: "What is his ability, don't look at the good development of our village now, more than ten years ago, you also came here, I believe you have seen it too. At that time, the roads were all yellow mud roads, and the houses were just bungalows and low buildings."
"That's not very good, you see, now, the roads have all become concrete roads, and every household has lived in small tall buildings. Your village, I think it is about to catch up with the development of the town." This is in my heart. From the bottom of my heart, their village is indeed developing very well. Although the development of a village does not depend on the village chief alone, its ability to develop also shows that he leads well.
The boss was suddenly full of anger, and said angrily: "We really don't deny this. But brother, the price paid here is also very high. I am not afraid of you laughing. Although our village can develop, this is because, The leaders in the village got it in exchange for doing wicked things.” (End of this chapter)
