Chapter 45: Visitors from the Village
But sometimes reality often contradicts people’s wishes. The more I don’t want to see something that makes my heart race, the more that content makes my heart sink to the bottom of the valley.
The letter was very simple, just a few words.
Chen Chengyi:
I hope you will listen to my advice and stay away from trouble. Don’t get involved in anything to do with the village. Go as far away as possible.
In addition, I will try to help with the matter of your two brothers.
Finally, I believe that the other village can help you get rid of the parasite on your shoulder.
That’s it, the letter contains a lot of content in just a few words. One is to warn me not to touch that village, and the other is to tell me that something has happened to Su Rou and Qin Huai.
The letter gave me a very strange feeling. I always felt that this person wanted to act as if he was a stranger to me, but he wasn’t a stranger. The most outrageous thing was that he seemed to know me!
Could it really be Gao Ning? I silently crumpled the letter into a ball and then burned it with a lighter.
Sixth Sister silently watched all this until the letter burned into ashes and the air was filled with wispy smoke. Then she asked, “What do you think?”
I stubbed out the cigarette and said, “What else can I think of? Let’s go to the village first and see the crispy meat and the Qinhuai to confirm some things. Even if this person is right about something, I can’t be swayed by someone I don’t even know.”
Sister Liu looked at me in surprise and asked, “Chengyi, why are you so calm this time?”
I smiled bitterly and raised my hands to show her. It was only then that she noticed that my hands had been shaking. She looked at me with a strange expression in her eyes and said after a long pause, “So you care about your friends so much.”
“Yes, I do care! So, Sixth Sister, it’s not that I’m not impulsive, but when I’m impulsive, there’s nothing I can do about it. I can’t help but tremble when I think of the danger they’re in. I’m very anxious, but what makes me feel the most angry about this matter is that I don’t know anything, and I’m very passive, being led by the nose. In fact, after reading this letter, I was furious, and I had already made up my mind to go see what kind of village it was that had driven me to this point!” I said almost with gritted teeth.
Yes, sometimes young people’s minds are so unreasonable that when they are pushed to the limit, they don’t think about the consequences. I am not a calm and rational person. The calmness I just had could only last for a moment. In the next moment, my anger almost burned me.
When my sixth sister heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She walked into the room, forced her way past me, and made me look at her. She said to me in an unprecedentedly serious tone, “Chengyi, no matter how angry you are, don’t mess with that village. If you mess with that village, it will be a disaster for the country.”
Sixth Sister has always been a smooth-talking woman who makes people feel comfortable. I have never seen her speak to me in such a serious tone and with such a serious expression, which also revealed a hint of fear.
I took a deep breath and said to my sister, “I won’t mess around, but they’ve got their eye on me. It’s not that I won’t mess with them, they’re just not messing with me. I can’t stay out of this.”
“You can hide from them, but if you go to them, the consequences will be different,” said Sister Liu to me.
“But I’ve already done it. You know what happened to Ah Bo? If you were in contact with Uncle Li and the others, you would know…”
“I know, people who go out and do this kind of thing are small fry, they don’t care too much, and that A Bo didn’t do anything! None of this is worth them breaking some rules to play, in fact, I think the letter that advised you was right.” Sister Six suddenly said this.
I sat down on the bed, feeling a bit depressed. If only Master were here. Would he also tell me to be a coward and put everything aside for my own safety?
Unfortunately, the master is not here, and Sixth Sister is really concerned about me, so she is only trying to comfort me.
After a long silence, I said to my sixth sister, “My uncles also told me about the rules, and you are telling me about the rules too. I am really curious about what kind of rules there are. Sixth sister, that village is eyeing me. You have to tell me about that village, right?”
Sister Six was silent for a moment and said, “Some rules are not accessible to your current level. I can only say that those rules are set by the state to restrict certain things, or by powerful people in some countries. Their purpose is not to protect the country and defend the nation, but to set down rules for the ordinary lives of ordinary people, which coincides with the state’s goal of stability. So some rules have been formed that cannot be violated.”
I was silent. I suddenly realized that I really didn’t understand the world very well. But unlike others, the more I grew up, the more my curiosity was worn away. I really didn’t want to understand it at all.
My sixth sister continued, “It’s not just our country, there are always some strange people in this world, and they are all bound. In short, that village is also under restraint. If you want me to tell you about that village, I can only tell you one thing, that is, it is a group of lunatics, and restraint is not so great for them. Or they may have something to rely on. You can fight with reasonable people, you can fight with demons and monsters, because even demons and monsters don’t harm people for no reason, and they know that there is a head for grievances and a master for debts. But don’t fight with crazy people, because when crazy people go crazy, they don’t know anything.
After she finished speaking, Sixth Sister looked at me deeply. I let out a sigh, feeling helpless like a fish dying on the beach. Everyone was telling me to hide, including my uncles.
I nodded in resignation, not saying anything else. I was only concerned about the safety of Qin Huai and the crispy meat, and I felt more and more that I couldn’t see through this matter.
Sister Liu also sighed and said, “Stay in Kunming for two days with peace of mind. After two days, the people from the village will come. After you go there, you will be like Yue, and your friends will be there. Your mood should be better.”Taoist priest
No matter what, this kind of thing has taken away the excitement I felt when I first came to Kunming. Because I have too many things on my mind, even the delicious food that my sixth sister makes is tasteless to me.
I was originally very curious about how my sixth sister and her friends hid the worms, but I haven’t had the heart to ask.
I didn’t talk much, and I didn’t go out much. I just sat in the house all day, not knowing what I was sad about. I just sat there, feeling like I was going to get moldy.
It was only much later that I realized that the most difficult state for a person is not one of being very sad, but one of being very worried. It is the kind of heavy depression that can overwhelm a person when they think about all the things that are bothering them.
At least compared to that state, being able to cry is a kind of happiness.
At that time, I was in that state, which was actually a bit dangerous, because after a long time, people either went crazy or became decadent. But fortunately, this state was quickly broken. The people from the village didn’t make me wait for long. After only two days, I arrived in Kunming.
The visitors were a man and two women. When they appeared at the flower shop, Sixth Sister seemed relieved, because even Sixth Sister could sense my depression.
When they arrived, I was as usual, staring blankly into space. It was Liu Jie who led them to my room.
I only noticed that there were people there, but for some reason I was a bit dazed and stared at them for a long time without reacting in my mind to what they looked like. It wasn’t until one of the girls jumped out and said, “Are you Chen Chengyi?”
I only then realized what was going on and took a good look at the girl. She was pretty and refined, with the fair skin of a Hmong girl, standing in front of me full of vitality.
I didn’t know why she looked like she knew me, so I nodded subconsciously and said, “Yes, I’m Chen Chengyi. Who are you?”
“My name is Li Tuan’er, nicknamed Tuan Tuan. I’m here with Grandma and Fanfan to pick you up.”
