The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 395 Young Town ([-]) (Thanks to Tang Jiaguo for the monthly ticket support!)
The dark night is like a boundless monster, watching this unknown town with lights.

The people in the town originally chose to stay behind closed doors after the night fell.

When the woman from outside the town fell down, many people came out of the house one by one when they heard the sound of the bowl breaking.

There are men and women among these people, and most of them are a couple.

They walked towards the fallen woman in twos and threes. There were a lot of people, but they walked in an orderly manner.

The swaying red lantern cast a faint red light on the somewhat stiff faces of these people.

They soon came to the woman who had fallen to the ground and passed out. Two of them stepped forward and dragged her legs, another two were responsible for lifting her arms, and the others stood on both sides, watching quietly. watching this scene.

These men grabbed the woman's limbs like an animal and walked towards the other end of the town.

The children of many families were lying behind the window sill or hiding behind the crack of the door, secretly watching this scene.

Among them was a little boy who, through the half-closed door of his house, saw the scene where the adults grabbed the foreign woman.

He knew that this foreign woman would be arrested sooner or later, and she would definitely be taken to the old house.

If she had listened to her early on and stayed obediently by the ancient well under the big willow tree, or walked into the old house by herself, she would not have suffered the crime of being dragged around right now.

The little boy watched the adults lead the people farther and farther away, and he wanted to follow to watch the fun.

But remembering his parents' warning, he still refrained from crossing the threshold with his feet.

His parents had told him that when he was older, he would be able to go into the old house at night.

Even in his dreams, the boy had imagined whether there were any monsters or monsters in the old house, but now, he still didn't dare to take that step and could only hope that he would grow up quickly.

However, at this time, he didn't know that growing up might not be a good thing he could look forward to.

On the uneven stone road, the procession of men and women is still moving forward silently.

As they walked, their shoes made a scraping sound.

Because no one spoke, only rustling sounds floated in the air in the streets and alleys.

As the boy expected, his parents, together with other people in the town, sent the foreign girl to the old house in the north of the town.

Compared with the dilapidated appearance of the old house at night, it has a more eerie atmosphere.

The gate of the old house was still open, but none of the townspeople dared to step in.

When they came to the door, the four who were in charge of grabbing the woman from a foreign country grabbed her limbs tightly with their hands, swung her back and forth several times in their hands, and finally threw her into the old house with all their strength. inside.

With the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the townspeople surrounding the old house knew that things were done.

And not long after the woman landed, the dilapidated gate of the old house began to creak, and then closed at a slow speed in front of everyone's eyes.

The townspeople who witnessed the reappearance of the old house all knelt on the ground in panic, kowtowed to the old house repeatedly, and shouted "Ancestor Bless! Ancestor Bless!"

After everyone kowtowed for a while, when they looked up again, the gate of the old house in front of them was completely closed.

Then the people stood up slowly, patted the dust on the knees of the cloth pants, and walked towards their own homes.

Among them was a man in his thirties who deliberately lagged behind the others by a large distance, and walked slowly at the end alone.

When he saw that he could only see other people's shadows in front of him, he turned around and ran to a lonely wooden house standing on the side of the road.

The man stood in front of the wooden house and glanced at an inconspicuous small wooden sign hanging outside the door.

The word "Gui Hai" was engraved with red paint on the wooden sign, which was the auspicious time he had chosen for his mother.

But today I just paid tribute to a foreigner, maybe I can push back this day.

After confirming that there was no one around, the man cautiously raised his fingers and knocked on the door panel of the wooden house, then lowered his voice and called out "Mom?"

No one made a sound inside, and in the dark night, it was eerily quiet.

The man knocked on the wooden door a few more times, but the people inside still didn't answer him.

The man standing outside the door felt an embarrassing silence, so he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Mother, you can't blame my son for what happened to you... Everyone in this town is like this made?"

"You must know that our ancestors have come here for generations... There is food and drink in the house, you should use more, don't be thirsty and hungry..."

"Mother, your son is leaving, why don't you make a sound?"

Inside the wooden house, there was still deathly silence, as if no one was there at all.

The man was lying on the wooden house, listening to the movement inside with his ears through the wooden boards, but he heard nothing.

Thinking that I have been delayed here for a while, if I go back later, the wife will be suspicious, so the man can only stomp his feet at the door a few times, and before he leaves, he looks back at the wooden house several times, and finally he still has his head on the ground. I left without returning.

After the man left, there was a sudden violent coughing sound in the wooden house with only a small skylight on the top of the head.

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

The people in the wooden house were coughing desperately, as if they wanted to cough out the blood and heart stagnant in their chests.

After coughing for a while, the people inside stopped moving.

At this time, the moon, which was originally covered by the clouds, pushed aside the clouds and looked curiously at the movement below him.

As the bright moonlight passed through the small skylight and entered into the wooden house, the moon also saw clearly a wooden bed placed in the center of the wooden house. The bed was covered with a layer of thin mats, and an old woman with gray hair was reclining on it. above.

Not far from the old woman's bed, there was a jar of water and a jar of naan bread. Other than that, there was nothing else in this simple wooden house.

The violent cough just now came from the old woman.

At this time, she was lying on her side on the mat, and her two cloudy old eyes could no longer see things clearly in the dark night.

She heard the voice of her son calling her outside just now, and what he said.

But what's the use of hearing it?
In this town, people of her age had to pay tribute to the ancestral house.

She is no exception.

Back then, she herself came here like this.

That being the case, what can she and her son say?

At this point, what can the two of them talk about?
As the old woman thought about it, she couldn't help but see the past of the child from birth to adulthood. Two lines of hot tears slipped out of her eyes unconsciously, and wet her body silently. The already cold thin mat.

Outside the wooden house, not far from here, there are dozens of small wooden houses placed every few meters or tens of meters.

Under this moonlit night, the cabins were still quiet, as if they were dead.

After an unknown amount of time, the old door of the gloomy old house suddenly creaked open again.

There was a sour smell wafting from inside, but no one came out.

These smells were blown into the air by the evening wind, and quickly dissipated.

The night passed silently until the light took the scepter commanding the heaven and the earth from the hands of the darkness, and led the sun to climb up from under the earth again, so that the sun once again filled the earth and illuminated the world.

When the sun scorched the sand-covered ground, a sleepy person lying on the sand had to slowly open his eyes under the scorching heat.

The person who felt that the sun was too glaring when he first opened his eyes had to turn around slightly and covered his eyes with his hands.

Then she slowly got up from the side, and even slightly let go of the palms covering her eyes.

When she removed the hand covering her eyes, she naturally saw the scene in front of her.

The vicinity here seems to be a barren desert, surrounded by scenes with no villages in front, no shops in the back, and inaccessible scenes.

Only in front of her, looking from a distance, there is a small stone-like city standing there.

The woman who got up from the desert stretched out her hand to touch her arm, and kicked her trouser legs a few times that had been soaked in sand.

After realizing that sand had also entered the shoe, the woman took off the shoe and buckled it backwards, pouring out all the sand inside.

After putting on her shoes again, the woman set off towards the stone city ahead.

This stone city looked not far away from her, but now she really had to walk through it step by step, but it took the woman a lot of time.

Facing the wind and sand blowing from time to time, the woman lowered her head and walked alone.

When the woman came under the old stone city wall and saw the arched stone cave, which was only for two people to walk side by side, she remembered that she had been to this place before.

When did she come?It seems like it was yesterday in your memory?

Wait, why was it yesterday?
The woman's feet landed on the entrance outside the cave.

She raised her gaze and could clearly see the bluestone street in the small town behind through the holey passage.

She remembered that just after she passed through the doorway under this wall, she saw a group of children playing at the bottom of the wall.

These children took her to the other end of the town, probably to the northern edge.

There is an old ancient house there, which is very dilapidated. There is an ancient well and a big willow tree next to it.

While thinking about these things, the woman walked forward again through the damp and dark stone cave passage in front of her.

When she walked out of the passageway, there was no child standing here waiting for her this time. Instead, there were three young and strong people sitting on a large stone pier not far away, doing handicrafts.

The woman stared at the familiar stone street in front of her, and a scene of red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street flashed in her mind.

And it was on that brightly lit street that she ate a mouthful of hot steamed buns and fell to the ground.

After that, she seemed to see many people on the street, and they seemed to take her somewhere, but she couldn't remember what happened after that.

The woman, who was lowering her head and lost in thought, suddenly cast a shadow in front of her eyes. This shadow got closer and closer to her, which attracted the woman's attention.

When she looked up, she saw one of the three young men walking towards her.

This man was born with straight eyebrows, which can be regarded as delicate.

It's just that the woman stared carefully at the other person's eyebrows and eyes, and vaguely felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

The man who approached her, at the moment when the woman raised her head, saw the woman's rosy and rosy face, and his heart couldn't help beating slightly.

The woman seemed younger and more beautiful than any other girl in their town.

Coincidentally, he has reached the age of marriage in the past two years, and his parents are also planning a marriage for him.

It's just that the girls in the town, in his opinion, are either not pretty enough or not good enough. He always feels that those women are not good enough for him, so he is not very active in marriage.

But this one is different.

This woman has looks and figure at first sight.

The only thing that made him doubtful was that this woman was from outside the town.

He also saw a woman who came to the town from outside, but that was already ten years ago.

Thinking of this, a strange look flashed in the man's eyes unconsciously.

After calming down, he stared at the woman's face and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

The woman looked startled.

This familiar question made her remember who the man in front of her was.

He was the first little boy who spoke to her when she passed through the cave.

When the woman superimposed the appearance of the boy yesterday and the appearance of the young man today, she realized that the time she spent after losing consciousness would definitely not be just one day.

Perhaps she had misremembered or recognized the wrong person. The person in front of her was not actually the little boy she had seen yesterday. Or maybe this person was related to the little boy yesterday.

Or, is she actually in a dream now?
The woman can't be sure of her current situation. The memory in her mind is only the scene she experienced yesterday, and the previous memory still cannot be retrieved.

Her current memory is only the memory of the whole day yesterday.

Seeing the woman bowing her head in silence, the man somehow thought of the woman who came to town ten years ago.

At that time, he was talking to the other party, and the latter also looked stupid like this, as if he had lost his memory.

However, he is obviously more patient with the beautiful woman in front of him than the strange woman before.

Seeing that the woman didn't reply and kept a certain distance from him, he thought she was a man who was afraid of strangers, so he slowed down his tone and said, "Girl, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. You are from another place, right?" ?”

"You are a girl, and you have traveled such a long way. Would you like to come to my house, drink some water, and eat something?"

The woman still didn't speak.

The young man continued to persuasion patiently, "Girl, we are the only ones who have food, drink and shelter in this area of ​​hundreds of miles. Although I don't know where you come from, but you eat and drink, I can still give you..."

When the man said this, the woman kept staring at the other's upper.

She remembered the shoes.

At that time, when she took a bite of the steamed buns given by the townsman and fainted, the owner of the shoes also walked towards her among the crowd.

As long as she finds the owner of this shoe, she will know what those people did to her after she was unconscious.

Thinking of this, the woman looked up at the man with an earnest face in front of her, and nodded slowly.

She decided to go with this man and go to his house to have a look.
