However, the mountain village under the pale moonlight seemed to be shrouded in a strange mist.
All of a sudden, the mountain village, which had been plunged into dead silence and darkness, was lit up with dim lights, especially the red lanterns hung on the side of the He family compound, and there were various voices faintly coming over, some people talking The sound of laughter, the sound of suona, erhu, etc., let's see how lively you are.
This mountain village seemed to come alive all of a sudden, from a deserted village to a very lively village.
"How is this going?"
Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes, as if they didn't know what happened and why this mountain village had such a change.
"Perhaps the past is repeating itself!"
Xiao Ran expressed his guess. He felt that someone might want to tell him what happened in this mountain village back then.
"Ah? How are Chen Qi and Li Jing doing now?"
Wang Lu asked worriedly.
"I don't know, but let's see what happened in Hejia Village first. It should be a happy event."
Xiao Ran shook his head, turned his head and packed his backpack, and the others did the same. After they packed their backpacks, they followed Xiao Ran to the He Family Courtyard. On the way to the He Family Courtyard, they also saw that they were dressed extremely The simple villagers were walking towards the He family compound, and some people came out.
However, those people didn't seem to see them at all. Since avoiding them, it seemed to be a subconscious behavior. During this period, Xiao Ran deliberately reached out to touch them, but those people were completely illusory, and there was no entity at all. Even Xiao Ran couldn't touch them.
But Xiao Ran could still feel that their existence was an extremely unique force.
Soon, the four of them came to the gate of the He Family Courtyard. The current He Family Courtyard is completely different from what they saw during the day. There are sharp-edged and imposing stone lions, and the two stone lions are tied with red silk around their necks. , and formed a flower cluster, and the stone lion they saw during the day had been weathered into a disfigured shape.
There is also the wooden door, which is also dotted with festive red, and there are two couplets pasted on both sides. From the condition of the couplets, it can be seen that the He family is going to hold a wedding.
The four of Xiao Ran and the others walked in from the gate. The stone wall in front of the gate was carved with exquisite patterns, and there was a small crescent-shaped garden. I saw the background of the He family.
Bypassing the stone wall, the yard is extremely lively, with people coming and going. Fifteen round tables are placed on one side of the yard. On the round table, the groom in a black tunic suit and big red flowers is toasting with the folks on the seats. The food on the flowing water table is also relatively rich, with many kinds of meat, vegetables and so on.
Judging from their clothes, this should be seven 80s!
In such an age, being able to eat meat once a year is already the greatest happiness, but now all the round tables are filled with all kinds of meat, which is very rich, and those villagers are also eating and drinking big mouthfuls, He has no scruples, even if his hands and face are covered with oil, he still doesn't care.
Seeing such a scene, Xiao Ran felt a little puzzled, he didn't know what happened at all, logically speaking, even if there was a happy event, it was a normal thing, but what does he have to do with the Changmen Village now?
"Master He, congratulations, it seems that it won't be long before the third generation of the He family will be born, and your He family will become even richer..."
At this time, Xiao Ran noticed a middle-aged man wearing patched clothes with a yellow and thin face, holding a glass of wine, walking up to an old man in a black tunic suit and black cloth shoes, with He congratulated with flattering eyes.
"Thank you very much."
Master He was not polite, and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
"By the way, Mr. He, the harvest in the village is not very good this year, and now we have to hand in part of the grain. If this is the case, many people in the village will go hungry. Do you think we can extend that time?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said with a bit of begging.
"Baomin! I know the difficulties in the village. You have your difficulties, and I have mine too! The food you turn in is handed over to the state, and it's not me or someone who eats your food. If you don't The higher-ups must be looking for me to pay for the food! Last year, I had read it for the sake of the villagers at the same time. I spent some money, and I paid a lot of money for you. This year, the income of our He family also increased. It's not good!
The whole family not only needs to eat, but also pay wages!Now my youngest son is still studying abroad!And a lot of money too. "
Although Mr. He seems to be a little drunk, his bright eyes can still tell that his mind is very clear.
"But……"
The middle-aged man seemed a little unwilling, and when he wanted to say something, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Master He.
"Today is my son's big day. I'll talk about it later, but I can assure you that at least my He family won't see anyone thinking of you starving to death."
"All right!"
The middle-aged man said something unwillingly, with a fierce gleam in his eyes. Although he hid it very deeply, he was still discovered by Xiao Ran.
What the hell is this guy trying to do?
Xiao Ran was full of doubts.
In this era, it is true that some people are poor and have no food to eat, but you must still have to pay the country grain taxes. Eating becomes a problem.
It can be seen that the He family is very rich, and I don't know how they got so much money, but in such a mountain village, it is undoubtedly enviable, especially when other people can't even eat. When discussing whether today's pork is not cooked enough, it makes people even more jealous.
Time passed gradually, and the villagers also left after eating and drinking.
However, the He family's celebrations have not been dissipated. Although it is modern times, the He family still has servants. Those people seem to be cleaning up the mess in the yard. Xiao Ran and others have been waiting here.
The scene changed suddenly, many lights in the He family compound were extinguished, a barking sound of dogs came from the village by chance, Xiao Ran saw more than a dozen figures sneaking into the He family, and came from various rooms. He heard the sound of the knife sinking into the body.
After a while, they brought out the corpses one after another, and put them in another house. At the same time, they lit a fire, and the raging fire ignited to wrap up the corpses. There are more than 20 people, all of them are from the He family, including Mr. He, the groom, and the bride.
