Just like the peach blossom source in Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, the neat wooden bungalows, the scattered fertile fields, you can see a few busy figures in the fields, and there are children playing and playing on the edge of the fields.

It looks like a remote and peaceful mountain village, and there is nothing strange about it, at least on the surface.

"Is this here?" Su Chen looked at the others in surprise.

He has lived in the magic capital since he was a child, and he has never seen such a place without any modern atmosphere, and it feels like he has traveled to the past.

"It should be right, some of those hidden families and sects in China also live in such places. ”

Tang Chuan gently shook the folding fan in his hand, with a playful smile on his face: "This village looks very ordinary, but what you see with your eyes is often not real." ”

"Let's go!"

Yunhua lightly spit out two words and continued to walk towards the village.

Soon, someone saw Su Chen and the others, and they looked at them with a little vigilance in confusion.

A few children ran up, and a little girl with pigtails leaned back her little head and asked, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

"We passed by here by chance, what's your name?" Su Chen smiled and rubbed the little girl's head and asked in proficient Japanese.

Tie Cang and the others all looked at him in surprise, but they didn't expect him to be able to speak Japanese.

"My name is Hanako Aoki, brother, you are so handsome!" said the little girl with a happy face.

"Hanako, come back. ”

Not far away, a woman in a kimono shouted.

"Oh!"

The little girl agreed unhappily, and waved her hand at Su Chen with a sweet smile: "My mother called me, goodbye, big brother." ”

After speaking, he ran towards the woman with his short legs, and the other two little boys looked at Su Chen and the others curiously, and they also followed.

"Brother Chen is worthy of being a top student, and he can speak Japanese!" Tie Cang gave a thumbs up.

"I know a lot of languages. ”

Su Chen looked at the few children who ran away, and asked in a deep voice, "What are we going to do?" It's impossible to get rid of all these people, and there are still children!"

"Go first to find out the situation, since you know Japanese, then you will be in charge of this mission, and we will cooperate with you. Xiang Lao looked at him with a smile.

"I'm responsible?" Su Chen pointed at himself with a confused expression.

"Agreed, Brother Chen, you are strong and can communicate with them, it is most suitable for you to command. Tie Cang grinned.

The others also had no opinion and expressed their approval.

"Really. ”

Su Chen rolled his eyes with a smile.

"Someone is coming. Bai Wushuang's cold voice sounded.

Everyone looked over, only to see a rickety old man walking slowly on crutches, and farther behind the old man, more and more villagers gathered over, looking at Su Chen and the others to discuss.

"These people seem to be ordinary people, and they don't feel any fluctuations similar to true qi. ”

Yan Dong, who rarely spoke, suddenly frowned and said.

"Indeed, could it be that you are in the wrong place?" Liang Quanyi wondered.

During the conversation, the old man had already walked up to him, and asked with a gentle smile, "I am Kazuki Aoki, the head of this village, and you have come here?"

"Hello, we came to the island country from Huaxia to play, we happened to pass by here, and we were very curious to see this village, can we stay here for two days to visit?"

The old man was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "Of course, few people in our village come here, so the people in the village are a little afraid of strangers, I hope you don't get angry." ”

"No, no, thank you so much. Su Chen thanked him with a hearty smile.

"Come with me, and I'll give you a place to stay. ”

The old man beckoned and led the way in front, Su Chen hurriedly followed, and the others Su Chen followed, and the group walked towards the village.

"You're dressed a little strangely!" the old man turned his head to look, then looked at Su Chen and smiled.

"Yes, we all like ancient cultures, they wear period costumes. Su Chen smiled and nodded.

"The young man speaks Japanese very well, what do you call it?" asked the old man with a smile.

"My name is Su Chen. ”

"Sussan, our small village is relatively poor, and there are no good things to entertain, I hope you don't mind. ”

"Of course not. ”

……

There was a conversation without saying a word into the village, and everywhere I passed, the villagers, without exception, stared at the group with curious eyes.

Soon, the group arrived at the village chief's house.

The house looks a little old, and it is more imposing than the other houses in the village, after all, he is the village chief.

Walking into the house, a girl dressed in a plain sleeved kimono walked over.

The girl looks like she is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a good appearance and a gentle temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko.

"This is my granddaughter, Miki. ”

The old man introduced the kimono girl to Su Chen, and then said to the girl with a smile: "Miki, this is Su San, and his friends, who came here to travel." ”

"Welcome. The girl bowed deeply.

"You go and prepare something to eat. The old man commanded.

"Hey!"

The girl nodded yes, then turned away.

Subsequently, the village chief took Su Chen and others to the place where the guests were entertained and made tea for a few people.

"Is it just you and your granddaughter at home?" Su Chen took a sip of tea and asked curiously.

"Miki's parents have gone to work in other places, and I'm old, so Miki has stayed at home to take care of me for the past two years. ”

"What a filial child!"

"Yes!"

"I just saw that there seem to be very few men in the village, did they all go out to work?"

Su Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked casually.

"Yes, they all went out to earn money, the village is too poor, and there are not many people willing to stay. The old man smiled and nodded.

After chatting for a while, the old man's granddaughter came back and told them that they could go to dinner.

When a few people arrived at the place to eat, the meals and tableware were neatly arranged, one for each person, the dish was very simple, a miso soup of unknown ingredients, a grilled fish, an egg roll, and then a bowl of rice.

"Nothing good, but my granddaughter's cooking skills are very good. The old man's face, full of age spots and wrinkles, showed a proud smile.

"Yes, it's nice to look at. Su Chen smiled and nodded.

Several people looked at Tang Chuan, and when they saw him shaking his head slightly, they moved their chopsticks to eat.

"I got moving. ”

The girl folded her hands in prayer, and then took a quiet sip.

Su Chen looked at this girl with his eyes, and he didn't notice anything unusual, but he felt that this girl's personality was not as good as it should be at this age, and she was a little too silent and introverted.
