Chapter 367 Not Good
The price I asked for was quite outrageous. I directly asked for fifty yuan, and they told me that bluntly and unceremoniously.
"You can go to Eryang Village, but fifty yuan is a lot. If it's less, you can find someone else."
From his attitude, I knew it, even if I asked other drivers.
There is a 80% chance that no one will do this business. If there is someone who is not afraid of death, then this is the next one.
Eighty percent of them are as good as him, so they have to leave even if they can't afford fifty yuan.
I can't really walk over with my own two legs.
"Okay, let's go!"
I said reluctantly, the driver turned around and opened his door, and I walked around to the passenger seat.
Opened the car door and got in.
Judging from the driver's face, he looked quite fierce. He and Duanmei looked like brothers.
As long as you don't smile and stand in front of a child, it's easy to scare the child into tears.
Of course, if he laughs, he won't be seen anywhere.
I'm afraid the child will cry even more.
In other words, children cry faster.
"Why are you thinking about going to Eryang Village? Is that a good place? You young people are just restless. I thought you would say no to going."
After the driver got in the car, he actually took the initiative to talk to me, which made me feel a little flattered.
I smiled bitterly and explained awkwardly.
"I came from Eryang Village. The death anniversary of an elder in my family is coming soon. I will burn two pieces of paper money for my elder when I come back."
The driver looked at me suspiciously and then looked at the road ahead.
Suddenly he stepped on the brakes and stopped directly on the side of the road.
Fortunately, there weren't many cars coming and going on this road, otherwise his braking would have been boring.
Do not cause any traffic accidents.
"I don't know if you are really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Eryang Village is not a kind place now, otherwise the bus terminal would not have stopped all the buses going there."
I nodded, of course I knew the buses were stopped.
Otherwise, why would I want to take this expensive taxi?
Normally, fifty yuan is enough for twenty-five round trips on the bus.
Buses like this in counties and villages only cost one yuan to travel, which is said to be the country's convenience policy for rural areas.
And even if this kind of bus is a guest, it cannot be canceled no matter how easy it is.
Now that the buses are out of service, it can be seen that the situation in Eryang Village is indeed serious.
"But no matter how serious the situation in Eryang Village is, there's no way I can't go there. I'm going to burn a few pieces of paper for the old man. Master, let's leave a phone number. I'll call you after I finish the work in Eryang Village. , how about you pick me up again?”
Judging from the driver's expression, he was reluctant.
In the end, he reluctantly left me a string of numbers. I was afraid that the numbers he left me were empty.
He even hit it deliberately and heard the ringtone of his cell phone coming from his body, so he was relieved to save it.
The driver rolled his eyes at me, obviously a little unhappy?
"You are quite suspicious. You want to see if the phone number I gave you is real or fake. Don't worry, since I gave it to you, I won't give you a fake phone number."
This time it was really embarrassing, but there was nothing I could do about it.
He saw that my attitude was very firm and that I couldn't be persuaded at all.
He ignored me and stepped on the accelerator.
The taxi rushed out and soon arrived at Eryang Village.
I remember that when I left the village, there were many old people and women sitting under the big tree at the head of the village.
They got together and chatted.
Even children as old as me left and went to other places.
Old people are also passing away one after another, but it is not so deserted.
Looking at the empty village, I felt an indescribable strangeness, and my steps suddenly became a little slow.
The driver had already adjusted the front of the car. I don't know why, but he could have turned the front of the car directly by circling the big tree.
He had to reverse the car on the spot, and it took a lot of effort to turn the front of the car around.
"Young man, if you're scared, get in the car quickly. I'll be able to take it back to you. You don't have to pay for it."
The driver behaved at this time. Pretty easy to talk to.
I shook my head, looked at the village, and walked inside.
After walking a few steps, the taxi behind him left Eryang Village directly.
I won’t forget where the village chief’s home is.
It was quite close to the village entrance. After five minutes of walking, I arrived at the village chief's house.
When I got to the door, I knocked gently. When there was nothing, I called Duanmei.
Unfortunately, no one answered the call, but a minute passed.
Suddenly someone opened the courtyard door for me, and I saw Duanmei wearing black clothes, which made me feel strange.
Duan Mei gestured at me to signal me not to speak, and then dragged me from one side of the yard.
Slowly I touched the woodshed of the village chief's house.
Co-author: Did they spend the past two days in the village chief's house and woodshed?
I followed Duanmei into the woodshed. Then I discovered that there was actually Qiankun in the woodshed, and it was connected to the main room.
Normally, the woodshed and main room are rarely connected.
After all, the woodshed is where firewood and sundries are stored, and rats and bugs often breed there.
After getting through to the main room, didn't these rats and bugs just follow the road and enter the main room directly?
When I walked into the main room, I saw the village chief, the man in a suit, and several elders in the village sitting here.
"Xiao Su is back. Didn't I tell you before? Don't come back if you leave. Why are you back?"
When the village chief saw me, his eyes were full of disapproval.
The first sentence he said was to blame me. Why did you come back?
Of course I know that he didn't let me come back for my own good.
But the man in the suit and the broken eyebrow are here. I am not at ease staying alone in Hejian City.
It's better to come and see the situation.
And I want to come and see the blind grandfather and burn paper for him.
"Hey, the child came to see his blind grandfather. Why do you care so much?"
The person who I always called Uncle Zhang suddenly persuaded the village chief, and I nodded.
I remember that when I left a few years ago, Uncle Zhang was still in his prime.
Although there were a few white hairs, but at that time his son had just married a new wife?
He couldn't hide the joy on his face. It's only been a few years.
Uncle Zhang looked so old. If you didn't know, you would think he and the village chief were of the same generation?
"The current situation in Eryang Village is really not good. We haven't found a solution. We can only bring everyone to one place first."
I grasped the key point in Duanmei's words and could only bring people to one place first.
Are these the only people left in the village?
I counted the people in the room, including Duanmei and the man in the suit, there were only seven people.
I thought these were the representatives of the village, but I didn't expect them to be the entire population of the village.
