"Why don't you let us go?" Xi Muyun tried his best to look kind.

One of the villagers stood up and said, "You can leave, but you can't take away the evil soaked dust. ”

Xi Muyun was a little inexplicable, these were just ordinary volcanic ash, why were these people so secretive?

The villager continued, "I won't stop you if you want to leave, but you must not take these things away for your own good." ”

Xi Muyun took the burlap bag containing volcanic ash, "These are just ordinary ashes. ”

Seeing her pick up the bag of ash, all the villagers took a step back in fear.

Seeing that they were still a little stubborn, Bai Bing immediately said, "Otherwise, if I threaten them with a sword, maybe they will get out of the way if they are afraid of death." ”

Xi Muyun shook his head, this time he left, then next time, he can't let these villagers lose their lives in order to build the river embankment, looking at their appearance, they are indeed very afraid, not deliberately embarrassed.

If it can really be mixed into cement, then they have to come here to get volcanic ash, and what they need is education, not just forcible extraction.

Xi Muyun dismounted and asked Cuiyun to pour the volcanic ash back, "In that case, let's stay in the village for a few more days." ”

Cuiyun looked puzzled, "Miss, you can't afford to fight with these people." ”

Xi Muyun waved his hand, wanting to solve these problems, it was not a day's work.

So she had to stay and enlighten the villagers.

She asked Bai Bing to take a few pieces of silver and give them to the villagers to prepare a clean room.

The villagers took the money, and when they saw that they would not take the ash with them, they all agreed.

A clean little house, a bit like the one she lived in before, thinking about this journey, although it is not thrilling, it can be regarded as a lot of tribulation.

Thinking of the life I first came here, although I was very uncomfortable, with the help of so many people close to me, I can be regarded as having come all the way.

It will get better and better in the future.

She had people clean it a few times before lying on the bed, the night in the mountains was exceptionally quiet, and the humidity of the winter was heavy, very cold.

There are so many good places to spend time at night compared to the city, so basically as soon as it gets dark, there is no one walking around the village, only the hounds barking not far away.

Xi Muyun just wanted to go to the yard to get some water and wash her face, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a person on the wall who was quietly watching her, Xi Muyun was startled, and shouted: "Who is there?" ”

Black shadows flickered, and in the quiet of the night, only the mountain wind blew, making the branches of the dead trees rustle.

Bai Bing walked out of another house and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There was a guy looking at the wall just now." Xi Muyun was a little shocked.

The main reason is that the night here is so dark that even the light of the moon is hidden from the mountain peaks, and only the dim light that shines through the room can barely see the road under your feet.

Bai Bingfei flew up to the wall and looked around, and the person had already disappeared into the dark night and disappeared without a trace.

He jumped down, "It stands to reason that no one knows we're going to be here, and who is going to be?" ”

"It can't be those who covet the treasure, right? I didn't set out in the name of Qingyu Pavilion either. The more Xi Muyun thought about it, the more strange it became, she had already acted and deceived those people, how could she appear in this place?

"No, if that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to tell the pavilion master by flying pigeon." Bai Bing was also vaguely worried in his heart.

"Afraid of what? There is no treasure here. Xi Muyun shook his head.

Bai Bing still looked very worried, "If those people hurt you, I'll ...... alone" Lewen

"I believe in you." Xi Muyun tilted his head and smiled, and yawned nonchalantly, "It's getting late, it's too boring in this mountain, I'll go to sleep first, you can rest early." ”

Bai Bing smiled unnaturally and went back to his room.

Xi Muyun glanced up at the stars in the sky, the stars in the mountains were so clear and pure.

If one day when you are old, you will return to the idle mountain, live under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, and leisurely see the days of Nanshan, it must be extremely comfortable.

But Qi Lichen doesn't seem to be a person who lives such a life.

He has his own ambitions in his heart and his own ideas.

In the darkness of the night, a pair of eyes stared at her, waiting until the lights in her room went out before leaving.

The next day, Xi Muyun got up very early, thinking that he had gotten up early enough, but suddenly found that those mountain people had gotten up earlier and had already begun to work.

When Xi Muyun went out, he found that they were looking at him with vigilant eyes, and that kind of look made people feel very uncomfortable.

She walked over and asked them why they were so afraid of volcanic ash.

But none of them answered their questions, and the old and weak women ignored him and went about their own work.

Xi Muyun sighed, it seems that it is the feudal thinking that causes them to be secretive about that volcanic area, which is just a normal natural law.

But how to explain it to them, it can't be like a serious science popularization like entering science, can these mountain people listen to it and say two things, if they get angry and drive them away, then the things that are hard to find will not be used, and those people who suffered because of the flood are even more pitiful.

Xi Muyun knew that he couldn't be in a hurry now.

The first step is to build relationships with those people.

Seeing that they were digging a cellar to bury potatoes, he offered to help, and some laughed that they had dug potatoes like this before.

The topic of the farmer's house opened, and several people were there to talk and laugh.

After talking too much about the topic, several peasant women began to be curious about Xi Muyun's identity.

Xi Muyun only said that he was a businessman, and he used to make a living from farming, so he knew a little bit about this.

A woman nodded, but there were a few doubts in her heart, "Look at your fine skin and tender meat, it doesn't look like the Zhuang family." ”

"Later, I did business, and I didn't work in the field much, and I nourished my skin more and nourished finely, in fact, I was very proficient in these jobs, how do you see what I did?" Xi Muyun said with a smile.

The woman nodded in satisfaction, "He's a good worker." ”

Xi Muyun smiled, "That's the case, I want to ask what happened to your village?" Why is that volcano so secretive? ”

A little wariness flashed in the woman's eyes, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I'm just curious." Xi Muyun said, thought about it and explained more, "I'm just curious, why don't you let me take those volcanic ashes with me?" ”

"I've also heard from other people that when that disaster struck, almost all people couldn't escape." After the woman finished speaking, there was a look of fear on her face, "That is the punishment of the gods, it is bad luck, we people are here to wait here and accept the punishment, and we are also for your good, so we will not let you take away the soil." ”

"I see, I'm not afraid of curses." Xi Muyun said patiently.

The woman was about to say more, when suddenly a man came out of the house and shouted, "You mother-in-law is not going to cook, and you are gossiping with people here." ”

There was a hint of submissiveness in the woman's eyes, "I'm going now." ”

Xi Muyun is no stranger to this kind of look, it is a kind of obedience to her husband's orders.
