Chapter 4 People from the County
Yeshan climbed down like a monkey, cleverly and came to the cave.
The passage of the cave was blocked by rocks, but the movement before the big insect died was so loud. Ye Pang, on the other side of the passage, had already guessed that Ye Shan had succeeded, and then began to emptiate the rocks blocking the passage. As for Ye Yi, who was carrying Doudou, who ran away first, Ye Erzhe returned.
When several people worked together to empty the rocks, Huohuo rushed out of the cave. Looking at the big insect as huge as an elephant, Ye Pang and others showed a stunned expression, swallowed their saliva hard, and looked at Ye Shan with incredible expressions.
As for Xiao Doudou, Xiao Dingding and these two little guys, with their black eyes, staring at Ye Shan brightly.
………………………………………
The weather in winter is biting cold, but without blowing the wind, the winter sun is gentle and warm. The remote small mountain village of Ye is located in a valley, with hills lying across the sides, blocking the cold wind blowing from the mountains, and it is also a place where winter and summer are cool.
It’s noon! The elderly in the village have the habit of coming out to bask in the sun.
There is a small courtyard made of hard mud on the edge of the small mountain village. There are two rattan chairs placed in the courtyard. The rattan chairs are relatively rough because they are made by themselves, but they are quite strong. Because these two rattan chairs are a bit old, it obviously took a long time.
At this time, two old men were lying on the rattan chair, wearing old cotton jackets, with some patches in inconspicuous areas, and squinted their eyes and enjoying the gentle sun.
One of the two old men is the village chief of Xiaoshan Village, the surname Ye. As for the other old man, he is about the same age as the village chief, with more white hair on his head than the old village chief, and more wrinkles on his face than the village chief. The palms placed on his chest look rougher. He is an old man who has worked hard for most of his life.
The only thing better than the old village chief is that the body is still very strong.
"Old Ye! You have a good grandson." The old village chief, who was squinting his eyes, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the noon sunshine, and felt that it was time to eat, so he spoke.
"Haha! Village Chief, you flatter my grandson. Do you want to have a free meal here?" Old Ye, who was next to him, also opened his eyes, laughed and said.
"Of course! Who told you that there is meat for every meal here? Yeshan is a good hunter!" said the old village chief.
In fact, this is just a joke. With the ability of Yeshan and others, he still brought some small prey to other households in the small mountain village from time to time. Of course, what the village chief said was the truth. There was meat every meal, so only Yeshan and others were there.
For such a small mountain village, it is still a luxury to have meat every day. If there are no Yeshan and others, the shadow of meat can usually be seen on the dining table during festivals.
After being praised by the village chief, Lao Ye still enjoyed it and said, "You wait! I'll go cook."
"Do you want me to help?" the old village chief said.
"No! You wait." Although you can see it every day, eating from home is considered a guest, so Lao Ye will definitely not let the guest come to cook.
Looking at Lao Ye's back, a hint of dimness flashed in the old village chief's eyes, and he sighed softly. The old village chief and Lao Ye grew up together, but Lao Ye's experience was really unfortunate. He married a wife ten years later, and he had not given birth to a child for more than ten years. In the end, he finally got a child in old age, but his wife died early. He worked hard to raise his son. Seeing that his son was about to marry his wife, unfortunately he encountered a horse thief. The white-headed man gave him a black-headed man. The old village chief still remembered the sad look of the old man crying and the matter almost cost him half his life.
"It's also a blessing! I brought a baby on the side of the road and came back to raise it. In my later years, there was a person who came to be filial." The old village chief sighed slightly.
Perhaps it was because his relatives suffered from the disaster of a big insect, which was because they had experienced separation from life and death. When they remembered the experience of their old friend, the old village chief suddenly felt inexplicably.
When the old village chief was feeling it, smoke rose from cooking stoves in the kitchen of the yard. After half an hour, the aroma of food overflowed from the kitchen.
The old village chief sniffed a few times and thought to himself, "Old Ye's cooking skills are really great. It's more than enough to go to the restaurant to cook."
"Come on! The village chief is hungry." Lao Ye walked out of the kitchen with a wooden plate. There were two bowls of rice, two pairs of chopsticks, a plate of vegetables, and a plate of fried bacon. There were two simple dishes, but they were full of color, fragrance and flavor.
While the two old men were starting to eat, a messy sound suddenly came from outside the yard, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Old village chief! Old village chief! Something is wrong~~~" A panicked shout came in from outside the door.
The two old men were slightly stunned, and then realized that something was wrong. They immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, hurried to the door, and opened the door.
There were about twenty people gathered outside the door, and the people from the small mountain village of Ye's surname were gathered here. The thin middle-aged man in the head was quite famous in the village because he was Ye Pang's father. With his thin body, he actually had a chubby son, which seemed a bit incredible. If someone who didn't know about it, he would think that Ye Pang was born by his wife and others! Fortunately, the village is small and everyone knows it well, and is sure that Ye Pang is his boy.
The one who was shouting in panic just now was Ye Pang's father.
"What's going on?" the old village chief said in a deep voice.
"The mountain village of Li surnamed five miles away was damaged by a big insect. The entire village was killed by a big insect, and none of them survived." When Ye Pang's father talked about this, his face was a little pale, obviously scared.
"You have been in the village! How could you know about this?" Hearing this sentence, the old village chief was also shocked, but he was still calm and knew that he could not be in trouble at this time, because he is now the backbone of the entire village.
"Here's someone coming! The person who deals with the big insects is at the entrance of the village. Because the big insects are likely to be nearby, they have to live in our village. Now they are waiting for the village chief!" Ye Pang's father continued to speak.
The village is not big. Standing here, the old village chief saw that there was indeed someone at the entrance of the village, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Those who could deal with the big insects were all capable people, so the village had certain security guarantees.
Then, the old village chief hurried to the entrance of the village with the people from the village. There were nine people standing at the entrance of the village. The old village chief was also a person with a certain level of experience. He looked at the temples of these people at first sight, and his temples were bulging, knowing that these were all strong people who were successful in martial arts.
Among the nine people, the leader was a middle-aged man with a hint of desolation on his face. He was wearing a red coat, as bright as blood dyed. He was wearing a locks of gastric armor made of fine iron, which was black and shining, and a long sheathed knife was tied around his waist.
This is a constable leader. Behind the constable leader, there are five constables standing, both wearing red coats, clamped gastric armor made of fine iron, and a long sheathed knife tied to the waist.
As for the remaining three people, they were temporarily ignored by the old village chief.
"Are you the village chief here?" The constable leader looked at the calm old village chief, and his face dissipated a little, and he asked.
"Yes, the constable!" Although the old village chief was an old man, when he saw the constable, he instinctively showed a look of obedience on his face. The people did not fight with the officials, which was a mark that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"The village in front of the Li family has been damaged by a big bug. Your village is approaching, and the big bugs are likely to visit here, but you don't have to worry. I will definitely not let the big bugs harm your village here. You just need not leave the scope of this village." Although the old village chief was calm, the other villagers were still frightened. Seeing this scene, the constable leader spoke out to comfort him.
Sure enough, the words from the shop have dispersed most of the villagers' fear.
"All the people in the village are here! No one is out?" Seeing this scene, the shop nodded slightly, and then spoke.
"I've been killed! My grandson is still outside, he's going to the mountains." The old man standing next to the old village chief, Ye Shan's grandfather suddenly thought of something at this moment, and his face turned pale.
"Ah!!" At this time, after Grandpa Ye Shan's reminder, several of the villagers suddenly screamed.
"Yeshan is the king of children in the village. When he went to hunt in the mountains, the other children in the village would follow him. My little fat!!" Ye Pang's father suddenly shivered, and the terrified expression on his face suddenly became extremely strong.
"Ah! My Doudou is only four years old! Why am I confused? I actually asked her to follow the boy Yeshan to the mountain!" A woman in her twenties also screamed in panic. She seemed to have lost her soul and fainted in an instant. Fortunately, the man next to her, Doudou's father, held her with one hand.
"My Ding Ding is only five years old! My Ding Ding also went into the mountain." Another woman in her twenties, who was also in a state of dismay, hugged her husband beside her and started crying.
While several people were in a daze, a middle-aged villager was slightly stunned, his whole body shook slightly, and then rushed into his house without saying a word, holding a hatchet, looking like he was looking for his son. The middle-aged villager was the father of Ye Yi, Ye Er and Ye San. He was usually a bit unfair and miserable person, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so fierce.
Looking at the villagers who suddenly became panicked, there was another villager who was trying to run out regardless of his life. The constable and leader frowned slightly, suddenly raised his hand, and knocked the middle-aged villager who was holding the hatchet with a knife.
"Hmph! Just cause me trouble." The chief constable snorted coldly, his voice suddenly sounded in the ears of many villagers, and he shot coldly at the villagers in front of him, which made many people's faces slightly white, their skin became a little chill, and they dared not speak.
"You five! Come around and find the children. If you encounter that big worm, come back immediately!" The chief of the constable waved his hand and said instructing him.
