Chapter 9

No matter what, we can't hurt our brothers. Finding Niu Jun is Chen Chen's only goal now!
The old ancient bridge is located in a remote place, a village within a village, a mountain within a mountain!

The ice cream factory was inside, and Fengyao Village was further ahead. Chen Chen took leave of absence, packed his luggage, and was introduced by his colleagues to pick up a car that happened to be going there to pull mountain goods.

The driver is a greasy bearded man. There are four seats in the car, and one is already seated in the rear cargo compartment. He has an Adam's apple and a wide frame, so it's hard to tell the gender!

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Chen nodded to him politely, and sat in the front passenger seat!

The driver didn't edit the length, and he was also very talkative, with outdated old songs playing on the road, chatting with the two of them all the time.

The man in the back seat didn't talk to him, so he grabbed Chen Chen and chattered endlessly. Hearing that he was looking for friends, the bearded man suddenly became interested:
"The place is full of old men and women, none of them are under [-], what kind of friends are you looking for?"

Chen Chen was a little sleepy from the bumping of the car, wrapped up his clothes and dealt with it casually:

"That's not enough!"

The bearded man turned his head and glanced at him, "You are here for the first time! You don't know the tradition of the old ancient bridge! There are more than 200 households in the village, and the last generation of young people have already taken their children away. , the rest are old people!"

After talking vigorously, the bearded man freed his hand, turned off the music, and continued to introduce:
"The school is deserted, the health center is deserted, the elderly have no one to take care of them, and they all stay at home. In the end, they either die of serious illness or starve to death. Some of them are only found with rotten bones after several years!" After speaking, he sighed. , "Cough, do you know that Old Ancient Bridge has a notorious name?"

Chen Chen was listening a little bit, wondering if what he said was true, so he shook his head.

The bearded man was filled with righteous indignation, and then he said every word without hesitation:

"Unfilial village!"

He glanced at the rearview mirror and asked the person in the back row:
"Brother, have you heard of this?"

The peach-faced man who also went to the old ancient bridge blinked his beautiful eyes and didn't respond.

The bearded man was a little unhappy with his cold butt. He looked at the rearview mirror and gave him a blank look. He approached Chen Chen and complained in a low voice:

"A sissy!"

Chen Chen didn't pay attention to this, and asked:

"Why do young people in the village run away?"

"Then why, I was poor, and I couldn't find a partner, so I ran away. The main reason is that wicked people live among wicked people. Let me tell you, after this place became famous, many people deliberately sent their parents here. It's so pitiful to wait to die!"

Speaking of emotion, the bearded man actually shed two lines of tears along his cheeks.

"We all come here to collect hazelnut mountain products. The price is higher than that offered by other places. Take care of them if you can!"

Chen Chen was also quite moved. He didn't expect such a wicked habit to exist in this remote and backward old bridge!

Thinking about each other's concerns, the bearded man played the sad music silently again. The atmosphere in the car was oppressive for a while. Except for the weird guy in the back seat who couldn't see any emotions, everyone was in a bad mood.

The road to the village is really bumpy, passing through countless dirt roads and narrow roads, it was not until late in the evening that we arrived at this inhumane "unfilial village". When we got out of the car, we saw that the village roads are spacious and the fields are flat. , there is still a little smell of cow and horse dung in the air, and it is completely different from other small villages.

Chen Chen didn't know what kind of witch the old lady Wei he saw was, but if the uncle on the last bus last night told the truth, if she really caught Niu Jun here to get married, not to mention the festivities, it must be everywhere Bright red is right!

Just as I was about to search along the village road, I found three old men walking out from the entrance of the village carrying farm tools.

One of the three old men was carrying a hoe, and the other two were carrying a shovel. They were thin and dark, and they looked like they had been working hard all year round.

The bearded man seemed to be very familiar with them. After a brief chat with the middleman, he turned around and said:

"The Old Ancient Bridge is full of old people, and they all go to bed early. We have to go to the guest house to deal with it overnight, and we will do it tomorrow if we have something to do!"

He didn't know what the peach-faced man was here for, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry, he obeyed the arrangement honestly, but Chen Chen couldn't afford to delay, Niu Jun had been missing for a few days, so he didn't know what happened now!Tonight is true or false, no matter what, there must be a result!

He said, "Master, is anyone getting married tonight in our village?"

The three old men were taken aback when they heard the words, and the old man with the hoe on his shoulder smiled twice while leaning on the wooden handle:

"You're kidding, we're all half-baked people, why are we getting married, we can't even get enough to eat!"

The bearded man next to him scolded "nonsense", and hurriedly apologized to the old man.

"I don't need to make arrangements, it's fine to sleep on the ridge at night!" Chen Chen finished talking and packed his luggage to leave, but was stopped by the old man carrying a hoe.

"Young man, let's do as the Romans do. The village is full of widowed and lonely old people who sleep lightly. If you don't go to the guest house, you can't wander around in the village. Once the dog in the yard barks, we won't be able to sleep anymore!"

Seeing that the three old men were stubborn and unwilling to accommodate, Chen Chen had no choice but to take a step back, thinking of following them first and then sneaking out.

The group of people was led by the old man to the foot of Dongtou Mountain, where there is a two-story earthen building, which is the so-called guest house.

Unexpectedly, there are so many people who come here to collect mountain treasures. There is only one double room and one single room left in the tulou.

The bearded driver was full of hormones, and he definitely didn't want to sleep in the same room with that sissy, so he had to live in a single room by himself in the end.

The room in the guest house is only three to five square meters, with two wooden beds and a rotten table.

After entering the room, Chen Chen immediately sat by the window, wanting to wait for the outside to clear up before going out to find someone.

The three old men stood at the gate of the small courtyard and murmured for a long time. They waited for 10 minutes before gradually leaving with the farm tools on their shoulders.

Seeing that the person had left, Chen Chen stepped onto the window sill with one foot, and was about to jump out when the peach-faced man who had been lying on the bed silent all the way suddenly said:

"Are you here for the wedding too?"

His sudden words are quite surprising. Regardless of his male body and female appearance, his voice is tough and upright, without any twitching.And judging from what he said, his purpose of coming to Old Guqiao was exactly the same as his own.

"who are you?"

"I'm Li Taoqi!"

Chen Chen retracted his feet and looked at him again.

Li Taoqi lay on the bed and snapped her nails back and forth, and said methodically:
"If you run out like this now, it's no different from sending you to your death! When it gets darker, you come with me!"

Chen Chen was a little confused, and didn't know whether to trust him or not.

"Did you tell me about the same wedding?"

Li Taoqi grinned disdainfully, looked down at the watch on his wrist and said:
"Don't ask so many questions. The wedding starts at twelve o'clock. When the time comes, you will lead your living people away, and I will lead my dead people away!"

Although these words made people shudder, they made Chen Chen ecstatic.Brother Niu Jun is a living person, so isn't the old lady Wei who set him up a dead person?
"Are you Mr. Yin Yang?"

Seeing that this person is weird and speaks confidently, he seems to have some skills!
Chen Chen knew clearly that it was difficult for him to accomplish anything. Seeing that Li Taoqi did not deny it, it would be better to have more helpers at the moment, so he knew what to say and stopped talking, and lay down on the opposite bed to rest.

After staying up until midnight at night, the wind outside eased, and the people in the earthen building began to snore. Li Tao turned over from the bed without missing a beat, and first took out a black pair of sweaters from his backpack. Pass the long strip of cloth to Chen Chen!

"Blindfold your eyes!"

Chen Chen took the cloth and flipped through it, and asked without knowing why:
"Why are you blindfolded?"

Li Taoqi lowered his head and prepared, "I'm afraid that I'll scare you all the way and ruin my big business! I'll untie it for you when it's safe!"

Chen Chen hesitated a little, but in the end he chose to trust others, and quickly covered his eyes with a black cloth!After everything was ready, Li Taoqi carefully led Chen Chen to open the door.

The road in Nomura was thin, and Chen Chen stepped on the snow with one foot and one shallow foot. He couldn't see anything. He could only hear the cold wind blowing past his ears from time to time, blowing on the snow, making a soft rustling sound.

The two left the guest house and walked slowly towards the west side of the village. On the way, Chen Chen felt uneasy.

Li Taoqi saw his nervousness, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Chen obviously felt that the road under his feet suddenly became smoother and easier to walk. At the same time, he also seemed to hear some noisy sounds from a distance.

After walking for a while, the sounds got closer and closer. Chen Chen finally distinguished that it was the festive accompaniment of someone beating gongs, drums and suona not far away! !

This desolate village road became strangely lively in the early morning winter night. I could hear the sound, but I couldn't see who was blowing and who was knocking, and in the process of walking, Chen Chen was absolutely In the dark, I feel uneasy, as if someone is reaching out and pulling the corner of his clothes from time to time!
Just when she was about to speak, Li Taoqi let out a muffled snort!
After an instant, that power dissipated in an instant.

After walking a few more steps, Li Taoqi led Chen Chen to a stop and told him to wait where he was, and when he came back immediately, he suddenly let go of him and disappeared.

Standing in the noisy darkness, Chen Chen was sweating profusely!

"Did he go to catch ghosts and save people?"

Chen Chen kept comforting himself. As soon as Li Taoqi left, those restless hands appeared again, slowly groping his body from bottom to top. It felt like a group of people who had been hungry for a long time People, want to find a good place to take a bite!
What's more, Chen Chen felt that there seemed to be a person standing behind him, that person touched him from time to time, and finally slyly blew cold air into the back of his neck!

But even so, Chen Chen still remained calm, clenched his fists with both hands, his teeth were about to be crushed nervously, he still didn't take off the strip of cloth, and didn't open his eyes!

I don't know a few minutes later, the surrounding Luogu Suona gradually dissipated, and the surroundings became quiet!
People around and behind me also seemed to disappear.

"Li Taoqi!" Chen Chen groaned softly while thinking about it.

At this time, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and by coincidence, the black blindfold tied to his head was blown off.

Chen Chen groaned inwardly, and opened his eyes to see that he was almost overwhelmed by the scene in front of him!

Right in front of him, the crowded village road was actually full of old people. These old men and women, all wearing big red padded jackets, with gloomy and dry faces, turned their heads to stare at him in unison!
