The years when I was Captain Jin

Chapter 239 Red Lips

Seeing that what the fat man said was not unreasonable, I took the fat man Wang Yuanchao out of the thatched cottage.

We first knocked on the door of the old man next door, but there was no one at all.Immediately walking along the street, the village was desolate and cold along the way, with no pedestrians, and occasionally a gust of wind blew the leaves under my feet into the air.

When I got to the entrance of the village, I saw living people, men, women, young and old, there were hundreds of people, all lying lazily under the old locust trees at the entrance of the village, basking in the sun leisurely.

Wang Yuanchao and I looked at each other without speaking.

Although I haven't been to the countryside much, I also know that it's the best time for crops to grow. Why don't men, women and children in this village work, and all of them are here to bask in the sun?
The fat man grinned and opened his mouth: "Oh, let me go, Ding Dong, the fat man thought he was lazy enough, but now he finally regained his confidence! These villagers are really good, no wonder what we saw last night The rice fields will be abandoned like that, and in their state, no matter how good the crops are, they will die."

I ignored the fat man, walked up to a middle-aged villager and asked, "Fellow townspeople, don't you work?"

The middle-aged villager yawned wearily, and turned his head without looking at us.

I was about to ask another villager, but before I opened my mouth, I found that the man also turned his head away, as if he didn't want to answer me either.

Several times in a row, these villagers just lay down under the trees and basked in the sun as if they regarded us as transparent air.

Finally, Wang Yuanchao gave me a hand: "Ding Dong, look carefully at the ears of these villagers!"

I nodded, and said in a low voice, "I counted, and almost all of them are missing one ear."

The fat man also muttered curiously: "Hey! It's so fucking weird, you said these people are so lazy, why do they all have dark circles under their eyes, as if they haven't slept for days and nights? Damn, fat man I really don't understand."

I also don't understand why. It stands to reason that country people don't have nightlife, unlike big cities, they should not lack sleep.

Why are all the eye circles black?
And they kept yawning, did these villagers suffer from some strange disease?

Just when I was thinking wildly, the fat man's stomach growled uncontrollably.

Seeing me glaring at him fiercely, the fat man quickly explained: "You can't blame me, don't you say it! People are iron rice and steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. We have been eating since yesterday. I haven't even eaten, Fatty really can't take it anymore..."

It was only then that I realized that everyone hadn't eaten all the time, so I searched the villagers, and then came to the old man who took us in last night, smiled and said hello: "Grandpa, where can we eat in the village? We It can be bought for money."

Unexpectedly, the old man was just curled up in his military padded jacket, and no bird would bird us.

In the end, I got impatient, so I took out a key from my pocket and gave it to me, saying that he had rice at home and wanted to cook for himself.

I have never seen such a lazy person. He would rather give me the key than walk for a few minutes, and he was speechless for a while.

Fatty didn't believe in evil even more, and offered a reward of 1000 yuan among the villagers, but no one looked up at us at all.

The three of us had no choice but to go back and prepare to cook by ourselves.

As soon as I left the crowd, suddenly someone sneakily grabbed me!
I turned around and saw that the one pulling me was a scumbag, wearing a summer jacket, with holes all over his body, his face was dirty, his mouth was full of big yellow teeth, and he hadn't showered for an unknown number of days.

The most special thing is that his left and right ears are gone, so I asked, "Is there anything you can do for me?"

At this moment, the fat man interjected, "He's lost both ears, so how can he hear you?"

"He's not congenitally deaf, it's just that he lacks the outer ear. His hearing is not as good as before, but it's not that he can't hear anything." I said.

Sure enough, the slob could hear me.

He looked at the crowd pretending to be mysterious, then lowered his voice and approached us and said, "Do you want to have a big meal?"

"Big meal?" Fatty couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that, and said with a look of contempt: "In this poor place like yours, you can't even find anything to fill your stomach. What delicacies are there?"

"What are delicacies from mountains and seas! Our village has the best food in the world, as long as each of you can come up with it..."

Before Lai Han finished speaking, an elderly villager picked up a stick and slapped the lazy man several times, cursing viciously: "Little Sanzi, are you crazy? This kind of thing Don’t even dare to talk nonsense to outsiders.”

After speaking, he yanked the stick down again heavily, the back of the lazy man was bloody, and the skin was cracked.

Even the three of us outsiders felt the pain and flustered when we saw it, but Lai Han seemed to be okay, and sat back under the old locust tree with a playful smile.

Originally, we wanted to ask Na Laihan what is the so-called best food in the world?Unexpectedly, he was disturbed by those villagers, so he had to go to the old man's house first to prepare dinner.

We searched around in the kitchen and found that there was indeed rice, but the rice was infested with worms, and the musty smell made it impossible to eat.

The fat man suggested that after the old man came back, he would ask the old man where there is good rice.I saw that I had no other choice but to wait.

But the three of us waited for several hours, but we didn't see the old man come back, and there was no smoke from every household in Zuoer Village. It's strange, don't people in this village eat?Could something be wrong?
Just when we were discussing and going to the village entrance to have a look, we found that those villagers began to come back one after another.

One by one, with blank eyes, dragging their tired bodies, and pulling their tongues, they lined up in a long line like zombies.

I asked Wang Yuanchao to look at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and it seemed that there was no time to eat. The fat man was so angry that he cursed at his mother.

Originally, we wanted to ask the old man why he came back so late?Unexpectedly, after the old man came back, he fell asleep after entering the room, with an abnormally satisfied expression on his face, leaving a sheet of drool.

Not only the old man had such an expression, but the other people who came back from the village were also greedily licking their tongues, as if they were relishing some delicious food, and they didn't even notice the drops of saliva.

The fat man scolded loudly: "These grandchildren must have had a good dinner together. Damn, they are really stingy! They didn't call Fatty, it's not like we don't give money."

"Money doesn't work here." I quickly raised my middle finger and made a 'shh' gesture to the fat man, signaling him to keep his voice down.Then he pointed to the mouths of those villagers and said, "Have you noticed? After they came back, their lips all turned bright red! It's thicker than lipstick."

The fat man didn't pay attention at first, but when I reminded him, he exclaimed instantly: "Damn it, isn't it! Why are the mouths of these villagers so red? Damn, they are really infiltrating, just like actors who sing dead people."

The dead man's play that Fatty refers to means that when funerals are held in rural areas, local opera troupes and song and dance troupes are invited to perform.This unique funeral method is found all over the country and is not uncommon.

If you invite an opera troupe, they will sing "Bao Gong's Trial of the Yin Case" and "Yang Guifei".

If the girl from the song and dance troupe is invited, she will put on heavy makeup and perform a striptease, attracting many people to watch, which will make the funeral family feel very honorable.

However, I didn't see any funeral in the village today?Not even the sound of firecrackers or mourning.

What's more, even if it's a dead man show, actors and actors are still putting on make-up. How can the whole village wear make-up?
