The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 63 Fresh

"Then, that's the same way that member Liu came in?" Wan Xiaoliu was curious about such a long way.

"Yes, this is the only way to enter the village." The uncle nodded and said.

"That Liu Yuanwai is really sincere." Wan Xiaoliu always felt that it was not normal.

"Crossing this mountain, you can see the manor of Liu Yuanwai's family. When you come to his manor, you will be in the town." The uncle explained.

"Oh, that's it." Wan Xiaoliu wondered if he might run into Ms. Liu by chance, then turned to look at Wan Mofei thoughtfully.

"I'll take you over the foot of this mountain, and I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain." Could it be that Wan can read minds?

"Why don't you come into the town with us?" The uncle felt strange.

"Uncle, I'll wait for you at the side of the mountain." Wan Mofei insisted.

"Well then, it's up to you. How is Xiao Liu's rest? Let's go, it will be too late to rest. All the good places are occupied." The uncle stood up and put the backpack on his back.

Wan Mofei easily pulled Wan Xiaoliu up.He also took his things and set off.

Wan Xiaoliu thought that he would arrive soon after passing this mountain, so he tried his best to climb over it quickly.It was getting brighter, and the torch was no longer needed. The uncle wiped the torch out on the sand and put it in a small pit by the roadside.Uncle said to take it when he came back.It seems that the uncle is really used to this.

There are obviously more people arriving on this mountain than the two mountains in the middle, and the road here is much less grassy than the two mountains in the middle.The mountain next to Wanjia Village is where the villagers chop firewood and dig herbs. Few people come to the two distant mountains. The mountain next to the town is the mountain Wan Xiaoliu and the others climbed. , It is estimated that there are more people in the town, and there are much fewer weeds and shrubs.At the top of the mountain, a large piece of flat land.All grass, no tall trees, no deep shrubs.Wan Xiaoliu felt very strange, so the uncle spoke up.

"Don't go through the open space, let's go through the woods here." The uncle led the way through the woods.

"What's the matter? Isn't this open space easier to walk?" Wan Xiaoliu was surprised.

"This open space, it sounds miserable. Hey, it's because you're getting older. I'll tell you when I ask you. Don't tell me when you go back. That year, when you were only a few years old, you also went to the market and met some strong boys in the village. Together. On the opposite mountain, I heard the cries from this side." The uncle said, turning his head and pointing to the mountain that he passed just now, which is the mountain opposite to this mountain. "We want to find out what happened. This road is walked every month. After walking for decades, I can find it with my eyes closed. I put out the torch and headed this way. I didn’t expect that the whole mountain was surrounded by people and they were not allowed to approach. We went back to the opposite side On the mountain, from a high place, I saw that the top of the mountain was smoky, and the smell was pungent. At dawn, the people surrounding the mountain evacuated, and the few of us hurried over. The trees on the top of the mountain were all cut down, and there was an empty space in the middle. It was a large piece, with traces of fresh burial, and traces of burning around it. We guessed that a pit was dug over there, and something was burned in it. At that time, I was young and wanted to find out. Several people came to When the thick branches were dug up, it turned out that they were burned to death and buried people. Those who went with them didn’t go to the market. They made some soil to cover the place, and then they all went home. We don’t know how big the pit is. , how deep, no one dared to dig it down, so no one knows how many people died in this pit that night. We all lay at home for more than half a month before getting out of bed. I didn’t mention this. Every year when I passed by here before sewing, a few people we were together in that year would still make appointments to burn incense paper and pay respects. I don’t know where they are from. They were also raised by their mothers and parents Flesh and blood, it must be so painful to be burned alive and buried like this. It has been more than ten years, and I still have lingering fears. The cry seems to be still in my ears, and the smell, I still remember it, is really miserable. Then Afterwards, we will go to the market again, and we will be with everyone." After the uncle finished speaking, he almost went down to the bottom of the mountain.The uncle took a break when he was talking, and sighed and fell silent when he was talking.

Wan Xiaoliu and Wan Mofei stopped talking, and the three of them were silent. Wan Xiaoliu felt that it was really scary that such things had happened.

"Then haven't you heard what's going on?" Wan Xiaoliu asked after a long time.

"After we went to the town to go to the market, we also inquired sideways. We didn't hear that anyone was missing, and no one was missing. Only a few of us knew about it. No one said it, so no one knew about it. What happened on the top of the mountain It was also gradually forgotten. Since then, no grass has grown in that area. The soil in that area has gradually been weathered into sand and gravel." The uncle said.

Then there was silence again.

"I'll just stop here." Wan Mofei saw that there was a forest in front of him, and not far away was a courtyard with high walls, which should be the Liu family.

"Oh, that's fine." Wan Xiaoliu's mood was still low, this was the first time he heard of such a miserable thing.

Wan Mofei put the basket on Wan Xiaoliu's back, and handed the pheasant and hare to Wan Xiaoliu.

"Is it okay?" the uncle asked.

"Okay. It's not that heavy." Wan Xiaoliu felt that he could bear the weight.Even if he couldn't bear it, he couldn't say it, Wan Mofei would never see Miss Liu.What's more, if he was discovered by his enemies while going to the market, it would be game over.

Wan Mofei smiled deeply.He was happy, really happy from the bottom of his heart.Wan Xiaoliu was worried about him.This is also intangibly possessive.

Wan Xiaoliu lost his dry food and water and followed his uncle. It was already dawn.

Wan Mofei watched Wan Xiaoliu go where he couldn't see, then jumped onto a big tree and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

Wan Xiaoliu carried the things on his back, and his speed suddenly slowed down.The uncle had no choice but to help Wan Xiaoliu hold the pheasant, hare and little hedgehog in his hands.

The uncle took Wan Xiaoliu through Liu's manor, stopped at the gate, and motioned Wan Xiaoliu to take out the little hedgehog and hand it to the gatekeeper.

"Brother, we are from Wanjia Village. Thanks to Liu Yuanwai's care, we have a good life today. These little hedgehogs are just a little care from our Wanjia Village people." The uncle said extremely humbly.

"Oh, okay, you wait. I'll send it in right away." The attitude of the gate guard is still very good.

Uncle and Wan Xiaoliu were waiting outside the door. After a while, a man who looked like a butler came out.The uncle went up immediately.

"Butler Liu." The uncle was very respectful to Butler Liu.

"Brother Wan, what did you bring today?" Steward Liu was full of kindness, but he was not arrogant.

"My niece caught a nest of little hedgehogs. Come to Xiaoliu." The uncle took the small frame Wan Xiaoliu handed over to Manager Liu.

"It's still a little guy, okay. You go to the cashier to get the money, and I'll send it to the young master's yard." Manager Liu took a look at Wan Xiaoliu, and went in with his things.
