C517

The village is very quiet. In the four courtyards, there are only two families with lights on.

Zhong Xiangsi chooses a family with red pepper hanging in front of the door and knocks on the door.

"Anybody? Fellow townsman, fellow townsman Zhong Xiangsi patted the loose wooden door.

There was a flash in the room with the light on. It seemed that there was someone in the room.

Zhong Xiangsi called again, but there was no more movement in the room.

Zhong Xiangsi gritted his teeth and said, "we are passers-by here by chance. Because the child is ill, we want to stay with you for one night! It's really windy outside. Fellow villagers, we are a family. Please let us in and I'll pay you money! "

He Mai looked nervously at the white window for fear that there would be a voice of rejection.

"How many of you?" A man's voice came from the room.

"Four adults, one child!" When Zhong Xiangsi heard the voice, he replied happily.

"There's only one room. You're going to give me five hundred pence this night!" Said the man in the room.

"No problem!" Zhong Xiangsi said in a loud voice.

The man who answered came out of the room in a cotton padded jacket. He was about forty years old. He had an ordinary appearance and looked a little alert.

"Come in." He opened the wooden door and gave way slightly.

"Thank you very much." He Mai nodded.

The man glanced at her and nodded back.

There is also a room five or six feet square in the courtyard. The furnishings are simple and crude. There is a thin layer of dust on the table and Kang. It seems that no one has lived for a long time.

The Kang in the room was cold. The man let them go in first.

"You'll sleep here tonight." The man said coldly, "there's a well in the courtyard, and there's a woodshed outside."

He Mai was satisfied and said, "I know."

She gave the man the 500 Wen copper money she had agreed to, "don't bother you, go and have a rest."

The man took the money and went out the door. When he was going out, he gave everyone a sidelong look. "Don't make a noise at night. If you hear any strange noise, don't make a fuss. If you're in trouble, don't blame me for not telling you. "

He Mai was confused. "Strange thing? What is it? "

The man sneered, "if you don't know, you don't know. Just listen to me. If you know, I'm afraid you'll regret it! "

He shut the door with a "Dang". In addition to a kerosene lamp, there were only four faces staring at each other.

"Just pretending to be a ghost." Zhong Xiangsi said coldly, "we just rest here to take care of Mu He. Tonight, your father and I watch the night, and you and LIULANG have a good rest. "

Liu Lang shook his head. "Niang, I'm strong and healthy. How can I let you keep vigil with dad? I'll get some firewood to heat the Kang. You and wo Mai will have a rest early. "

Yan Xing said, "I'll get some water and give you some bubble feet."

The room left Zhong Xiangsi and he Mai, he Mai said: "Niang, I think this place is strange. Let's not live more. We'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Zhong Xiangsi nodded, "go early tomorrow morning, this place really feels strange, just now that person said and don't know what meaning, don't sleep too dead tonight, after midnight is not sure what's going on."

"I see, mother." Homado.

Yan Xing came back from the water and went to several nearby families. Zhong Xiangsi knew that he wanted to see the situation so that he could get away at any time. He told him a few words and let him go.

"I'll go with Dad, too?" LIULANG asked outside the door.

Zhong Xiangsi shook his head, "you don't go. No matter what your father and I are doing, you don't go. You must stay with Mai ER and Mu He. Now we have to be more careful than in the barracks. "

LIULANG nodded and said, "I know, Niang."

Zhong Xiangsi and he Mai simply cleaned the room, swept the thin ash on the Kang, and spread a thin sheet.

The Kang was burning hot. He Mai sat beside the bed with Mu He in his arms and felt very satisfied. "Niang, this room will be very hot. It's much better than living in a carriage. Tell Dad to come back. Let's have a rest early. "

LIULANG's well water was also boiled and a pot of hot tea was made.

Zhong Xiangsi took a torch from the corner and said, "I'll go to your father. Liu Lang, take care of Mai ER and Mu He. Don't go out of this room. "

In the bell Acacia out of the door, but suddenly came a baby's cry.

At this time, the cry of Mu He made he Mai distressed and distressed, so she was very sensitive to the baby's cry.

"There are other babies here?" He Mai is very surprised, "listen to cry, should be similar to Mu He, should be just born."

Zhong Xiangsi frowned and said, "listen to the voice, it should be from the house without light. So there are people living in these four courtyards? "

But LIULANG listened and felt strange, "what child, just cry, there is no movement?"

"Yes, why did you cry?"Before he Mai's voice fell, he heard a sharp and loud cry.

Along with the baby's cry, there was a woman's low voice.

The man who had just led people into the door poked his head out of the main room of the yard and said in a low voice, "don't make any noise!"

"It turns out that the four villages are full of people. I'm afraid we just made too much noise and scared the child? " Homado.

"What's the noise? It's just that the child wakes up in the middle of the night." Zhong Xiangsi said, "you wait here, I'll go to your father..."

Zhong Xiangsi took the torch and soon disappeared in the yard.

In the room, he Mai and Liu Lang looked at each other. He Mai was in a fog. "My mother seems to be very alert, and you also seem to be very nervous. What are you all guarding against? "

LIULANG was silent and said, "it's a must for people in the river and lake to go out. You and Muhe have us. Don't be afraid. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first... "

"Wait for mom and dad to come back." He Mai yawned, leaned against Liu Lang and murmured, "the bed in our yard is still comfortable It's warm without a fire... "

Liu Lang is sad to hear that. He thinks that the situation of he Mai and Mu He today has something to do with him.

If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid he Mai and Mu He would have been sleeping peacefully now. How could they sleep and eat peacefully as they are now

He didn't speak any more and wanted to make homage sleep for a while.

But at this time, there was a knock on the door.

He Mai suddenly woke up from the nap, "mother back?"

"I'll see." LIULANG road.

Outside, a woman holding a baby shivering in the wind looked at LIULANG pitifully.

"Who are you?" LIULANG did not relax his vigilance because of the woman's identity and asked calmly.

"I'm a villager here. I I heard the cry of a child in the room. "She took a careful look at the room with a crack in the door." I want to borrow some milk... "
