It's getting late, it's not dawn

"Why, you want to get kicked too?" Lin Qing asked looking at the three children.

The three children dared to come and make troubles only when someone took the lead, but now the people who led them to make troubles were lying on the ground, how could they dare to do anything, the three of them hurried over to pick up the older child and ran away in a hurry up.

After the troublemakers left, Lin Qing came to the side of the birthmark child and pulled the birthmark child up.

"Thank you."

The child with the birthmark looked at Lin Qing and said sincerely.

"What's your name?" Lin Qing asked.

"My name is Wang Ansheng, just call me Xiaoan, that's what adults call me."

"Well, Xiao An, what happened to you just now, why did they bully you?" Lin Qing stroked the child's hair, this child reminded him of his childhood.

"It's okay, I just saw a person from Changsheng Village picking grapes from Grandma Zhu's house. That vine is Grandma Zhu's only source of income. I don't want him to pick it. I stopped him and drove him away. , but that person was not reconciled, and brought a few more people over, and I happened to meet me when I came out, and they came to beat me when they saw me, and that's how they are in the village, others are afraid of them, but I am not afraid of them!"

The birthmark child Xiao An said with a fierce and stubborn face, but he is still young, and his fierce appearance makes people look particularly naive.

"Don't be afraid of returning home, but you have to protect yourself."

"Yeah." Xiaoan lowered her head, looked at Lin Qing's clothes, seemed to be thinking about something, then raised her head suddenly, and asked anxiously: "Uncle, can you go to Grandma Zhu's house to buy grapes? I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

After asking this sentence, he lowered his head again.

Lin Qing thought for a while, and nodded after finding that Xiao An had no malicious intentions.

Xiao An looked at Lin Qing out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw Lin Qing nodding, she jumped up happily, bouncing and leading Lin Qing to the house of the grandma Zhu he was talking about.

Soon the two came to Grandma Zhu's house, and they saw Grandma Zhu's house, or it didn't look like a home, it could only be said that this place was a very simple place to live.

This is a house made of yellow mud, which is made in the same way as the houses in the village, but this house is too dilapidated compared to other houses in the village, and it is very small. This room is used as both a kitchen and a bedroom, as can be seen from the curling smoke.

But fortunately, there is a vine next to the house, which is full of emerald green grapes, which adds a little vitality to the lifeless house.

"This is what you're talking about?" Lin Qing asked after seeing the grapes next to the house.

"En." Xiao An replied.

"Grandma Bamboo, I'm back."

Xiao An happily ran into the house, and Lin Qing also followed.

Soon he saw an old man sitting on a wooden bench, and there were a few old pots beside her. Because of the light rain just now, there was water on the roof, and the water leaked from the roof. And those pots are used to catch rainwater.

The old man was cooking, and the stove was still dry. She was putting some unwet firewood into the stove pit. The fire in the stove pit was raging, and the light of the fire printed the old man's face with a bright yellow color.

Hearing Xiao An's voice, the old man turned around slowly and said, "Xiao An is back, Grandma Zhu has cooked some porridge with longan and red dates, and you can eat it later."

"Hey, who is this?"

Seeing Lin Qing, Grandma Zhu asked suspiciously.

Xiao An quickly answered: "This is the uncle I just met, and he wants to buy grapes."

"I want to buy grapes, how much do I want to buy, two yuan a bunch, go and pick them yourself, old lady, I have bad legs, so I can't pick them for you."

Grandma Zhu was very happy when she saw someone buying grapes. This vine is her only source of income. A few years ago, she brought it to the town to sell. Xiao An took it to the town to sell, but it was still a bit far to go to the town. Now that someone came to buy at home, she was naturally very happy. She used crutches for a long time before moving a little bit. Xiao An and Lin Seeing how difficult it was for her, Qing hurried over and helped her onto the bed.

"Don't worry, I'll pick it later, I bought all the grapes here." Lin Qing took out a stack of red banknotes from his pocket, fortunately this time he brought out the banknotes, otherwise This grandma Zhu can't collect the money. Judging by the old man's appearance, she probably doesn't even know what a mobile phone is.

Lin Qing stuffed the money into Grandma Zhu's hands. Grandma Zhu was stunned for a moment as she looked at the stack of banknotes. She had never seen so much money in her entire life. The money was not only for selling grapes, but for rooting trees. It won't take so much money to poach them.

"No... don't want so much." Grandma Zhu was in a hurry. After she took a few cards, she wanted to give the money back to Lin Qing, but the old man's movements were very slow. How could Lin Qing give it back to the old man.

"Just accept it. I don't just buy grapes with this money. I'm also here to find out some news."

Lin Qing gently pushed the old man's hand back.

"What do you want to know?" the old man asked suspiciously.

"I want to know something about Changsheng Village, the village next door to yours."

When the old man heard this, his expression changed, and he said, "Young man, the water in Changsheng Village is very deep, so you better not make do with it."

The old man seemed to have remembered something, and there was a hint of sadness on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

Lin Qing saw the old man's expression and knew that the old man must know something, so he went on to say: "It is because the water is so deep that I want to find out. A friend of mine disappeared in their village. I must find him."

After hearing this, the old man sighed and said, "What are you doing? You insist on messing with the lunatics in Changsheng Village. It may be difficult for your friends to escape..."

Speaking of which, the old man closed his mouth again, as if he didn't want to tell Lin Qing anything.

Lin Qing didn't seem to see that the old man didn't want to talk, and then asked, "Why is it hard to escape?"

"Ah~"

The old man sighed, looked at Lin Qing, and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Lin Qing nodded.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"afraid."

"Then why do you still want to provoke Changsheng Village?"

"There's always something more important than being alive, isn't there?"

"There are always things that are more important than being alive..." The old man murmured and repeated Lin Qing's words, and then she said with certainty: "Yes, there are always some things that are more important than being alive!"

There seemed to be some brilliance in the eyes of the old man. She looked at Lin Qing, as if she saw the person she admired when she was young, but the end of that person was very tragic.

And all of this was caused by Changsheng Village. After thinking about it, she hadn't shed tears for many years, and tears flowed out of her cloudy eyes again.

All of this made her heart ache when she thought about it. She was about to step into the coffin with half a foot, but she still had regrets that she could never make up for in her life.
