Chapter 338: One Letter, Two Red Envelopes
"No wonder he has not dared to come, and he has been frightened in the village! It is thanks to our resourcefulness that he agreed to send them over after a few of us to do this kind of drudgery. β
After Su Luo finished speaking, Lin Xiaoice coughed dryly, her eyes didn't know where to put it, Feng Jing poked her head: "Why do you girls always listen to others talk about these messy things! Pity is still here, don't talk nonsense!"
Bai Xiu was also a little embarrassed, said goodbye to them, made hot water for Qu Lian, helped her wash her face and feet, and then hugged her to lie on the bed, and then cleaned up and fell asleep.
He had the child in mind, and he was not sleeping soundly, when he suddenly heard footsteps in a daze.
He woke up suddenly, subconsciously touched the window and listened, and the next second he breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Sun Xinhong and Tan Xiangrong went out, they estimated that they had insomnia, went out to breathe and smoke.
He returned to the bed lightly, but when he heard the sound of frogs in front of and behind the house, his sleepiness couldn't help but disperse, and he sat up again and covered Qu Lian with a blanket on the opposite bed.
Bai Xiu was in a daze, the footsteps outside the house also stopped, and the two stood not far from the window here, talking, at first Sun Xinhong came out of nowhere: "Life is not good......
Immediately, Tan Xiangrong's echo voice came: "The captain originally asked you to be the deputy team, but the two women blew the wind on the pillow, and they turned yellow, I think they want to completely squeeze us out." β
Sun Xinhong smiled: "Whoever wants to be the deputy captain of the tattered children, I don't bother to mess with them, as long as you don't pry the fat difference of purchasing equipment." β
Tan Xiangrong hesitated for a while and said: "I heard that there is a problem with Lao Huang's batch of mountaineering ropes, I don't know if they noticed it." β
"Do they still have the heart to go hiking?"
Sun Xinhong said disapprerovingly, "Aren't they all running around to help people dig up materials now?" I think that the rope is rotten there, and it doesn't matter...... This group of recruits is really straight-headed, and they obediently listened to the poor when they were coaxed by the surnamed Liu, and they forced us over. β
"That's right. Tan Xiangrong said suddenly, "You really didn't receive that letter?"
This ordinary sentence made Sun Xinhong have an extra anger in his words: "Why, you can't even believe me?"
Tan Xiangrong was anxious: "This matter is not mine alone, you have to help me." β
"Don't worry, we are all people in the same boat at all times, and besides, they don't eat dry food, if someone really goes to check, I'm afraid it's more urgent than us." Sun Xinhong sneered and turned his head, "Hmph, don't let me catch the guy who wrote the letter, otherwise ......"
Tan Xiangrong asked in disbelief: "You say, could it be the people in this team right now?"
Sun Xinhong told him noncommittally: "Wait, I always have a way to make him show his fox tail, now let's go back to sleep, surnamed Zheng's heart is careful, don't find any clues for him." β
Tan Xiangrong responded, and the voices of the two gradually became quieter, and then the footsteps returned to the big room on the left, and there was no movement for a long time.
Bai Xiu knew in his heart that the group of people on this trip really came with other purposes, but this matter has nothing to do with him, it really can't be done, he will find time to talk to Su Luo and them quietly tomorrow, and let them be on guard.
He thought about it and lay back, this time finally falling asleep.
After a night of silence, they got up early the next morning and had breakfast, and set out again on the road into the mountain, and the further they went, the fewer traces of human activity, and gradually the dirt path under their feet became more and more difficult to walk.
Fortunately, their physical strength is good, and they didn't delay the trip too much, as for Qu Lian, he naturally let Bai Xiu carry it all the way, and over time, others were impressed by him.
Su Luo was speechless: "Xin Fang, you are really unseemly, I thought you were an otaku who 'saw the light and died', but I didn't expect that carrying a child is like carrying a rag doll, we are far from the same." β
They didn't know the difference between cultivators and ordinary people, Bai Xiu smiled and didn't say anything, seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Su Luo suddenly quipped: "By the way, do you have a girlfriend, if not, how about our Jingjing?"
Feng Jing already knew what she was going to say, and reached out and flicked her forehead: "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will do you tonight, see if you dare to make fun of me!"
Su Luo laughed and pecked her on the face affectionately: "Okay, okay, no kidding, we are a pair in the sky, okay?"
Lin Xiaoice was also very interested in Bai Xiu's affairs: "I heard that you are from Qucheng, so do you know this place in Wenning Town?"
Bai Xiu didn't expect him to ask about this, and nodded: "Wenning Town is not particularly far from Qucheng City, although it is not famous, but in the spring, the rape fields there are very beautiful, you can go around when you have time." β
Su Luo asked curiously: "Xiaoice, aren't you a native of Mingcheng? The university seems to be in Mingcheng?
Lin Xiaoice showed a little nostalgia on his face: "I have made a friend on the Internet, she is from Wenning Town, Qucheng, and she also sent me a postcard...... The rape fields in Wenning Town are indeed beautiful. β
He changed his words and told everyone: "When you arrive in Nanyin Village, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, that place is remote and closed, if you offend people, it will be too late to call the police." β
Su Luo snorted lightly: "Look at your appearance, could it be that those villagers are all big tigers?"
"That's not what I said. Feng Jing has a steady personality, can be said to be the leader of this team, and thinks about a lot of things, "Haven't you heard some stories about fires on ocean-going ships?"
The situation in Nanyin Village is probably the same, the locals have their own set of rules for what they do, and once we outsiders violate these taboos, it will be seen as a challenge to their authority, and we will be kicked out of the village at least or even save our lives. β
Su Luo couldn't help but exclaim: "Now it's a society ruled by law, how can there be such a thing?!"
"Well, you just think about everything. Feng Jing shook her head again and again, "There is a saying that the law does not blame the public, and when the time comes, the whole village will stone us to death by throwing a stone, who will we reason with." β
"Isn't it......" Su Luo shuddered inexplicably, "I'll go, why did the captain send us such a dangerous mission!"
"Don't talk about these things that are not there, I don't see that it will be dark if we continue to talk!" Sun Xinhong's face was gloomy, and he walked to the front of the team.
Tan Xiangrong was no better, compared to the former's annoyance, a trace of fear flashed imperceptibly in his eyes, afraid that everyone would find out, so he lowered his head again.
"What kind of person......" Su Luo was dissatisfied, "don't think that you can set up a score once you come here, I tell you, at the moment, this team is still in the final hand!"
"Alright, alright, let's save some energy and hurry. Feng Jing said helplessly, "We are all teammates, we are a whole, and we must take care of each other when we enter the village, so that we can get things done smoothly." β
She said this well, and Su Luo muttered a few words and hurried away.
Because of the rain in summer, the road into the mountain was full of mud and very difficult to walk, and when they finally saw the legendary Nanyin Village, it was almost dark.
Bai Xiu stood on the hillside and looked down, the nearby landform was really a bit peculiar.
Nanyin Village is a village built against the mountain, with a round shape, a pond in the middle is square, and the whole looks like a copper coin.
Outside the village are paddy fields, strange to say, it is the beginning of summer, which is supposed to be the season of fragrant rice flowers, but there is nothing but the deep water of the ocean.
Beyond the paddy fields, a path zigzags downward, winding along the cliff face for a few times and then reaching five or six meters shorter than the village.
The last section of the road was very short, and soon came to the end, connected with a mountain stream, the latter was not wide, seven or eight meters, but it was bottomless, like a fissured canyon.
There is a concrete bridge standing on the mountain stream, and I don't know if it was repaired by the authorities or by their own money.
After crossing the short bridge, the path winds its way up again, and winds up again to the side of a small hill, behind which there is a large hill where they are standing.
They are very different from the mountains behind the village.
One is the difference in height and size, the majestic tower behind the village is like a giant, and the mountain peaks behind it stretch and can hardly see the edge, and the slopes on this side are also high and steep, but they are nothing compared to it.
The second is that the material of the mountain is different, the high ridge strange rocks in the distance are craggy, the strange pine leans on, a lush green, the vegetation on the nearby hillside is sparse, and even the loess is exposed, I don't know whether it is man-made destruction, or it is so weird.
Seeing that the destination was in sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally ......," Su Luo said breathlessly, "let's hurry into the village, maybe we can get some game to eat!"
Not long after they crossed the deep stream to the edge of the paddy field in front of the village, at this moment Lin Xiaoice stopped: "You wait for me here, I will inform first, someone will pick us up and arrange accommodation." β
As he spoke, he entered the village alone, and after about five minutes, he led two tall young men out.
The two of them, one in his early twenties and the other in his twenties, saw their younger one and immediately shouted in the local dialect: "Didn't you say that only six people could come, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Xiaoice pointed at Bai Xiu and said embarrassedly: "Second Brother Qiu, Third Brother Qiu, this is a new member of the team, he was also very interested when he heard that we were coming to Nanyin Village, and the brother and sister didn't say a word and got into the car by themselves......
He took out two red envelopes from his pocket, stuffed one for each of them, and said with a flattering smile: "I'll trouble you to arrange more accommodation." β
The two touched the thickness of the red envelope, and their attitude finally improved, but Third Brother Qiu still glanced at Bai Xiu coldly: "You expedition people? I don't look like itβI'm afraid it's not a reporter, right?"
