Entering the courtyard gate, the first thing you see is the courtyard. Unlike the previous family, there are basically no sundries in this courtyard.

Su Yao lowered his head to observe carefully, and saw that the soil in the yard seemed to be loose, and in the corner of the yard, a woman was pulling weeds.

Seeing Su Yao and the other two, he smiled.

Looking up at the other rooms in the courtyard, there are five square brick houses, but four of them are locked.

Su Yao looked back at Yan Shoucheng.

People in the village don't pay much attention to it. Generally, if there are people in the family, they won't lock the house.

For one thing, people in rural areas have a lot of houses, and a lot of things are not put together, so they need to go back and forth to pick and place.The door is open, which is much more convenient.

Secondly, it is easy to get damp in this season, and opening the door frequently for ventilation will help prevent moisture and mildew.Not to mention that this house built in the mountains needs to open the door frequently to ventilate and dry it.

And the four locked houses in this yard made Su Yao suspicious.

Is it because the family is about to go out, or is there something in the house that makes it inconvenient to open the door.

Su Yao didn't speak, and continued to walk forward.

After entering the only room with an open door, Su Yao felt even more strange.

This room is the main room. According to people's habit of building houses, this room should be the most commonly used room. In addition to the basic furnishings, some commonly used items should also be placed.

But in the whole house, apart from a bed, a wardrobe, a large table, and a few chairs, there are only two boxes.

The things are simple and clean, and it seems that not many people live here.

But judging by the dress of the host family, it can be regarded as more particular.

Su Yao couldn't tell for a while whether it was the owner's special habit or the house was not commonly used.

"Our village is remote, and we haven't seen a single outsider for several years, so outsiders will be somewhat repelled. If you were treated coldly at other people's homes before, don't take it too seriously, and take it easy."

The man's words interrupted Su Yao's train of thought.

Thinking over what he said, Su Yao nodded and replied: "Understood, it was accidental that the two of us came in, and we wouldn't bother you if it wasn't really that we couldn't move anymore."

After pouring water for the two, the man sat down opposite.Ask basic information about two people.

Su Yao contrived to make up a perfect life experience for the two of them. The man believed it or not, but from his expression he could see that he believed it.

Su Yao began to inquire around: "I see that people in the village usually have their gates closed, which is different from other villages. Is there any reason?"

The man sighed and said: "Our ancestors came here to settle down when they fled famine. At that time, they built their houses on this mountain in order to survive. There were many animals on the mountain, and there were many fruits and leaves to feed them. There are good people and there are bad people, and there are many beasts in this mountain."

"In the past, we never closed the house. As a result, when the adults in the family went out to work, wolves went down the mountain and took the children away. After this happened a few times, we have an unwritten rule. Whether there is anyone, the door must be closed."

"Although the families seldom visit each other on weekdays, and the doors are not opened, the atmosphere in our village is still very good, and everyone is relatively kind."

The story of the man seems to have no loopholes, but Su Yao is even more curious: "Since the danger on the mountain is so high, why don't you go down the mountain? The times have changed now, there are no wars, let alone the problem of survival. You go down Once you get to the mountains, the government can allocate land for you, so it’s no problem to support yourself with the land, it’s much better than here.”

The man's eyes changed, but he quickly covered it up.

Looking up again, there is a sad face with a sad face: "This place is where we have lived for hundreds of years, how can we leave as soon as we say it. Besides, we have to build new houses to change places. The people in the village have been living a tight life these years. I'm so tight, I don't have any money in my hand, let alone the ability to build a new house, so I might as well stay here."

"Besides, it's just that the mountains are in trouble. The wolves really don't have anything to eat, so they come to the village. They won't hurt us when they are full. It doesn't happen often that people are caught by wolves. It's a big deal."

The helplessness in the words is reflected on the face.

Su Yao didn't want to ask more questions, so he changed the subject: "We just wanted to climb the mountain, but who knows, we got more and more confused when we walked in. When I first saw your village, I thought it was a paradise, but we were so excited. .Knocking on doors from door to door, hoping to ask about the situation around here. Who knows what happened, but no one responded, and thought the village was empty!"

"We were so scared in this wilderness. If you hadn't opened the door for us, we would have turned around and left. Speaking of it, it's fate, and it's just a coincidence that we got to know you!"

Seeing this, Yan Shoucheng took over the conversation: "It's not that I'm a big man who is timid. Just this mountain. The more you go in, the more trees grow taller. It blocks out the sky and makes people feel a little gloomy. The key is this The trees still look the same, which is quite confusing. I have always had a good sense of direction, but I still get lost."

The man explained: "Although we are born and bred in this land, we didn't go out because we didn't know what there was outside. You have come all the way, you are already bold."

This is not much, but there is a lot of information in it.

According to the previous man, it has been at least 200 years since the first generation of people settled here. In the past, people did not go out because of the war. Isn't the outside world a little curious?

Moreover, judging by the man's speech, he doesn't look like a person who has been silent for many years.

Su Yao had doubts, and asked directly: "Ah! No way, have you grown up so much that you haven't gone out to see the outside world?"

Surprised in Su Yao's eyes, she looked at the man and observed his every expression.

"No, like me, I will often go out and help the villagers to buy things. It is because I often deal with people outside that I dare to let you in, otherwise you are already on your way back home. "

Su Yao caught the loophole in this statement and asked, "Will you go out? Why are you going out? Could it be that there are other ways to go outside in this village?"

"Yes, there must be. When you leave, I will take you out."

The man laughed dryly, rubbed his hands together, got up and called his wife to make dinner for Su Yao.

The man left the house, Su Yao took the opportunity to chat with Yan Shoucheng: "Do you think he will send us out?"

Boys, I'm back, and I will keep updating steadily from today, thank you!
