Small town adventure

Chapter 220
The old man shook his head in pain, took a puff of cigarette, and continued in a hoarse voice: "After I came out of the neighbor's house, I boldly went to several other houses, all of which looked the same, and all of them died tragically in my own house. It’s just that their death methods are a little different. Some were burnt to death by sticking their heads into the stove, some were suffocated to death lying in the water bucket, and the most surprising thing was that they strangled themselves to death. I dare not think about it, how many years have passed, this miserable scene always wakes me up in a nightmare, and the quilt can be soaked in cold sweat."

The old man paused when he said this, and then said: "After looking at these few houses, I don't need to look at the rest at all. I guess I am the only living person in the whole village now, and suddenly I think of my family. What my two younger brothers and sisters said, they told me to leave the village quickly, or my life would be in danger. I didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran out of the village in one breath. At that time, I was so young, there was no I have traveled far, but I just ran around like a headless chicken. When I ran out of strength and didn’t eat for more than a day, I finally passed out on the ground. When I woke up, I found that I was lying on the ground. It turned out that it was a hunter who went hunting in the mountains. Seeing that I fainted in the mountains, and seeing that I was still alive, he felt pitiful and took me back home. After I woke up, what did the hunters do to me? Okay, first give me something to eat, and then ask me why I fainted in the mountains. I heard them ask about this, and then I thought that my whole family was killed by that Zhang Dazi except myself. He cried bitterly again, and after crying, he told a big lie, saying that his whole family was killed by bandits, including the whole village.

Until now, I still feel guilty about the lie I told, and it was this lie that killed many appointments, but I was too young at that time, and I didn't know how to say it, so it could only be like that.

"After hearing what I said, the Orion couple shed tears. They said I was a poor child, and then asked which village I was from. I told them that I was from Mapo Village, and the Orion heard that I was After it was from that village, he glanced at me in amazement, and said to himself, that village is not too far away from here, probably only twenty or thirty miles away, and tomorrow I will call some strong men from the village Man, bury all the corpses in Mapo Village, so as not to be bitten by wild animals, or to rot and cause plague.”
