Chapter 55 You all have children
The next morning, the three of them asked the hotel to deliver breakfast to their room, and then they checked out and continued driving to the village.

Lin Guzhi's hometown is called Linzhuang Village. The village is very small and you can see the end at a glance. When the car passed the small bridge mentioned by Lin Guzhi, Xia Qing looked out through the car window and couldn't help saying, "There is really no water."

She felt it was such a pity. The ditch under the bridge was so deep, with farmlands on both sides. The corn stalks had grown quite tall in this summer, and were lush and green. If there was water, this place would definitely be beautiful.

Lin Guzhi said: "It must have been a long time since it rained. If it rained, some rainwater would have accumulated in the river."

"That's it."

Xia Qing said, and then asked, "Can't the water in the river be retained? Has it all flowed away?"

The environment here is really different from Haicheng. She has never seen a dry river in Haicheng.

Lin Guzhi said: "It can be stored for a while. People say that mining for coal has hollowed out the ground, so the water will seep in and cannot be stored."

Xia Qing was slightly startled: "Ah! Will we suddenly sink?"

Lin Guzhi said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. However, this situation usually does not occur. At most, the road is full of potholes and the mined-out area has collapsed."

"That's it..."

Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

When the car drove into the village, she saw several elderly people sitting at the entrance of the village. When driving by, Lin Guzhi just honked the horn to greet the elderly people.

The old people also noticed the car and Lin Guzhi in it, and grinned, revealing their uneven teeth.

"Is this the legendary village entrance intelligence team?"

Xia Qing asked, remembering the short videos she had seen, such as "The gossipy aunties who go home for the New Year."

This woman has watched a lot of short videos.

Lin Guzhi explained to Xia Qing: "No. Those who love to gossip are busy right now, and some get up early and some get up late. They will not come out to sit around until they are done with their work. Those who sit at the entrance of the village so early in the morning don't have the energy to gossip. They have another name, the team waiting to die at the entrance of the village."

"..."

Xia Qing felt a little depressed. Her empathy was too strong. "That sounds really distressing."

Lin Guzhi said: "It's not bad actually. I'm lucky to be able to live peacefully until I'm old and can wait for death in the sun peacefully."

Xiaoxi nodded as if she was deeply touched.

This scene fell into Xia Qing's eyes. She patted Xiaoxi's head and said angrily: "Why are you nodding your head!"

"hey-hey."

Xiaoxi just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Here we are."

Lin Guzhi's words drew the attention of Xia Qing and Xiao Xi.

The car turned a corner and stopped in a relatively spacious corridor. When the three of them got out of the car, Xia Qing saw a desolate rural courtyard.

——The courtyard of Lin Guzhi's house is the second room in this row in the corridor. The brick wall is gray and mottled, and the originally green door is rusty due to years of disrepair. Weeds grow out of the cracks in the door, which makes people feel that the situation behind the door is not optimistic at a glance.

"Wait for me to open the door."

As Lin Guzhi was speaking, he suddenly jumped.

Xia Qing was about to ask the stinky uncle if he had brought the key, but then she saw Lin Guzhi's figure climbing over the wall, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

This is so neat!
Does this stinky uncle know how to do Qinggong?! Her eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt expectant.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”

There was a sound of rusty iron rubbing against each other. It was the sound of a rusty door bolt being pulled open. Xia Qing was so angry that she could not help but cover Xiaoxi's ears.

Xiaoxi said: "Sister, I'm fine."

Xia Qing continued to cover Xiaoxi's ears and said, "It's okay, but I'll cover them for you. This sound is not pleasant."

"Wow—"

The door had been in disrepair for so long that it made a terrible groan when it was opened. Lin Guzhi and half-human-high weeds appeared inside the door, making Xia Qing a little worried: "How do we get in?"

Lin Guzhi seemed to see Xia Qing's concerns and said, "Why don't you take Xiaoxi and wait outside. I'll look for something and come out when I get it."

"it is good."

Xia Qing nodded in agreement. The lush weeds frightened her a little, as she was always afraid that a snake would crawl out of the grass.

Then Lin Guzhi turned around, walked through the weeds, opened the door with brute force, and disappeared into the house.

Xia Qing and Xiao Xi did not return to the car. They had been on the car all the way and just wanted to stop for a while. They were both curious about the environment here and looked around.

Then Xia Qing saw a young man appear at the intersection, grinning at her, then taking out his cell phone and pointing it at herself.

Xia Qing couldn't help but get nervous. Is this the village guard who wanted to be an internet celebrity that the stinky uncle mentioned? Is he going to shoot a video or broadcast live? !
He's not going to take a picture of himself, is he?!
"Go, go, go shoot somewhere else."

A middle-aged man suddenly walked over from the intersection and waved his hand to drive the young man away.

The young man then reluctantly took his phone and left, which made Xia Qing feel slightly relieved.

But the middle-aged man smiled at her kindly from a distance.

Xia Qing was nervous for a moment and smiled back, but she forgot that her eyes, nose and mouth were under the sunglasses and mask, and others could not see them.

The middle-aged man walked up to her, glanced at Xia Qing's car, and then asked, "Hello, I'm the secretary of our village. Are you Gu Zhi's girlfriend?"

"Hello. I'm not..."

Xia Qing quickly explained, "Lin Guzhi and I are just ordinary friends."

Only then did she realize that Xiaoxi had disappeared from her side. Her heart sank, and she wanted to look for her quickly, but she found that Xiaoxi had run to the weeds behind Lin Guzhi's house and waved at her.

This little girl is really elusive, just like when we first met...

"Haha, friends, friends."

The village party secretary's obvious disbelief made Xia Qing feel helpless. However, the village party secretary did not dwell on this question and asked, "I heard that Gu Zhi is back? Did he go inside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Guzhi's voice came out from the yard, and he followed the others out: "Uncle, why are you here? I just came back and wanted to see you later."

He walked out of the door through the weeds, holding Xiaoxi's hand and bringing her out. So the little girl who had just disappeared was now standing next to Lin Guzhi.

The village party secretary said, "Someone saw you on the road and told me, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xiaoxi, slightly surprised, and then glanced at Xia Qing, and then looked at Lin Guzhi and said, "You all have children?!"

? !
Xia Qing: "..."
