Chapter 165

The next day, he Miao and his party set out on the road, but four or five miles away, they came to a fork in the road.

On the right side of the road, a stone tablet was erected, which was written to Lingshui village. The road stele on the left side has been destroyed. The top half of the stele has been broken, leaving only the bottom word.

"The lake?" A bodyguard came forward to identify it carefully and read it out in a low voice.

The rest of the guards searched around and found several broken steles in the grass several feet away from the roadside. Left and right, about the word "Wanling".

"Wanling lake?" Wang Ling's brow jumped.

They almost got into the lake last night! It seems that the road on the left leads to the lake.

"Live in the village." Wang Ling suggested.

There was no objection and they drove to the right.

But in half a quarter of an hour, they saw a village with dozens of families. It must be Lingshui village. The situation is similar to that detected by the scouts last night.

By the way, they are going to have a rest for food and water.

At this time, it was the busy farming season. The doors of every family were closed, and only three or two of them were open. Not far away, four old ladies were sitting under a ginkgo tree, chatting and taking care of the soles of their shoes.

Seeing the motorcade coming, the old lady stopped her work and watched them warily.

A delicate and smooth looking bodyguard came forward to ask the old lady:

"old man, we are going to the capital. We don't want to miss the hostel. We are running out of dry food and drinking water. I don't know if there is any extra rice in the old man's house? We are willing to pay for it. "

A little old lady smashed her mouth and said, "now we are having autumn grain. It hasn't been milled or dried. Would you like to have it?"

The bodyguard came forward with a grinning face, chatting with the old lady, and asked what kind of food they produced, including ground rice noodles. The old lady said that there were not many of them in her family, and she was afraid that they could not meet their needs. She encouraged them to ask for new grain, saying that they could sell it to them at the market price by 20%.

The bodyguard came back to discuss with Wang Ling.

He Miao, sitting in the carriage, heard clearly and muttered to himself, "I'll plan to reduce it by 20%. It's not sure who will make a profit."

When longan was not suitable for farming, he asked, "isn't new grain better than old grain? Walnut adults only eat the newly harvested grains and fruits. " Wouldn't it be more cost-effective if it's 20% cheaper?

He Miao replied: "the new grain is naturally delicious, but the moisture content of the newly beaten grain is higher than that of the sun dried grain."

Longan understood, crow nine is suddenly burst out: "just down the grain delicious.". It's not good to dry in the sun. "

He Miao glanced at him. The crow shrank its wings, closed its eyes and went on sleeping.

Last night, he consumed too much spiritual power. He doesn't want to change for the time being. Maintaining human form also consumes spiritual power! Anyway, he squeaked for a long time. People outside thought that the boy was still in the car.

Wang Ling thought that the young man had little face. When such a thing happened, he could not pull down his face, so he avoided others and didn't pay much attention to it.

After some negotiation, the old lady agreed to exchange part of the summer grain with them, and the rest would be new.

Then, the old lady went to shout, and soon brought back an adult man and an 11-year-old boy.

The two took the guards to move grain separately. The adults went back to the house to get summer grain and ground rice and noodles. The teenagers took people to the sun farm. The villagers were threshing in the sun farm.

He Miao was sleeping all night, but he couldn't sit down. He jumped out of the car and walked around.

The old ladies, who were taking care of the soles of their shoes, were startled. They seemed to see something incredible. They were all staring at her! Looking at it, the old ladies couldn't help their eyes shining!

"Girl, how old are you? Are you engaged? " "What a beautiful girl! Just like my toon! It's not our destiny! Come here, girl, come to my mother. "

"What is the same as your Chinese toon! Your Chinese toon is very thin. How can you have a mellow girl! This is the same as my apricot! My apricot has such a rich body

The old ladies are enthusiastic, they can't help but come forward and surround the longan. You ask me a question.

Longan has a good temper. She has questions and answers, and she is more satisfied with teaching old ladies.

"Longan! Good name! He is a blessed child at first sight Just now, the short old lady, who was selling grain, couldn't help praising longan. By the way, she also promoted her youngest son, "my youngest son is nineteen years old. He's very energetic! A big man can do all kinds of work! If you follow him and drink spicy food every day, you will never be tired! "

Another tall, thin and somewhat hunchbacked old lady ran on her and said, "your youngest son is honest and honest, but he can't make a dull fart for a long time. He doesn't say more than five words in a day, which makes his daughter bored." Then she took the longan's hand with a smile. "My little nephew is the most handsome young man in all the villages. He has learned a carpentry job. As long as you follow him and don't worry about food and drink, you don't have to work like other people's wives. Isn't that a good thing?"Watching the two old ladies fighting for their daughter-in-law almost become a black eyed chicken, the guards who stay in the same place are a bit silly. Longan is interesting, laughing at them, but not talking.

A round faced old lady sitting next to him, who had never put in a word, scolded lightly and said, "no matter how good a daughter-in-law you are, you will not be missing in a few days. Instead of thinking about how to marry a new daughter-in-law, it's better for the newspaper official to get her back. "

The two old ladies, who were quarreling happily, were quiet, and their faces were not good-looking.

There was an old lady, the oldest, who had never made a sound. She was bent, wrinkled, white haired, and a pair of slightly yellow eyes. She was calm and indifferent. It seemed that nothing could enter her eyes. In her eyes, there was only a pair of embroidered shoes in her hand. On the embroidered surface of the shoes is the blooming peony, on which stands a black blue Phoenix butterfly, fluttering to fly, lifelike.

Longan can not help but look straight eyes, quietly close to the front, full of envy Yan.

"Old lady, you are a good craftsman! Is this for your granddaughter? "

The old lady didn't answer.

Next round face old lady answered for her: "she cried hoarse voice, no longer speak."

Looking at the longan, the round faced old lady sighed and said, "one day her granddaughter-in-law went out to play and said that she was going to pick mushrooms in the forest, but she never came back." After a pause, he added, "it's not just her daughter-in-law and girls. Many young daughters-in-law and girls in the village have disappeared. That's why people are so surprised to see you. There has been no young woman in the village for a long time. " Young wives and girls are locked at home, and they sit here to watch the door.

Longan simple, asked: "was the tooth abducted?"

The old lady shook her head. "I don't know."

After a while, the bodyguard who was sent out to collect food came back. What she said was the same as what the old lady mentioned.

"There are young men, children and elderly women working in the field, but there are no young women."

Wang Ling secretly wrote down that she decided to report back to Beijing. After all, it's less than three days away from the capital. It's always necessary to investigate whether such a big incident was abducted or murdered.

The dozing crow nine suddenly said: "last night I dreamed that many women were struggling and crying in the water, and there were many corpses at the bottom of the water."

In a daze, Wang Ning suddenly approaches and reaches for the curtain.
