Brother Neng and I were tied up by this group of people. One of them also took a strange thing for us to smell. Under the attack of their fists, Brother Neng and I inhaled the sweet taste. Soon he fainted.

When I woke up, it was late afternoon and I was locked up in a stone chamber. There was nothing in the room and the windows were high in position. "Uh~ What about Brother Neng? What the hell is this place? "I was in a mess, I remember we were attacked by a group of people, and then we fainted after being beaten, and it looked like we were caught, and this was supposed to be their territory.

Bang dang~

The chains outside the door are opened, and the door is pushed open. Two men dressed up like our captors walked in, and without saying a word, took my arms and walked out. They carried me through a dimly lit corridor. The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the forest in front of me, and the trees of that forest were particularly tall, and there were some low houses under the tall trees, and from the heights, there was no village to be seen.

I was taken to a relatively large room. The two men who were holding me were pious outside the house, and asked the people in the house. After getting permission, he pushed me and motioned for me to go in on my own. They didn't leave right away, they were there watching me all the time. Thinking that Brother Neng's might still be in their hands, I gave up the idea of running away alone and walked towards the house.

Squeak~ I pushed open the door and walked in, there was an oil lamp lit in the house, and the furnishings in the house were very old. "You're awake. Have a good rest. An old voice sounded coldly. On the right side of the room, by a firepit, an old man with a wrinkled face beckoned me to walk over. I scanned the room and saw that it was just the two of us, so I walked over to the old man. The old man pointed to the bamboo stool beside him and asked me to sit down.

"Young man, I'm sorry to have brought you here in this way, but you've trespassed on our territory." The old man smoked a long pipe and said leisurely.

I was a little apprehensive in my heart, shouldn't that be the case for us to be expelled? Why did you bring us back to the village, there are a lot of questions in my heart. I sorted out my thoughts and said: "Grandpa, I'm very sorry, we came to Daoren Mountain to travel, and we encountered a little situation on the mountain at night, so we got lost, so we broke into the territory of your village, I'm very sorry!" I am here to apologize to you for our actions. What about my friend? If he wakes up, please let me go to see him, and we will withdraw from your village's territory as soon as possible, and never mention it outside. ”

"Young man, don't be so nervous, since you're here, take a good rest, and I'll send someone to see you off in a few days." The old man smoked his long pipe and said slowly.

"Can I go see my friend?" I took a deep breath, I can't fall out with the other party now, I haven't seen Brother Neng yet, and I definitely can't be impulsive.

The old man, pick up the teapot by the fire and bring me a cup of hot tea, and hand it to me. "Drink some tea, your friend hasn't woken up yet, and when he wakes up, he'll come here." The old man changed a pot of tobacco and continued to light it, and I sat on the side and didn't know how to talk, so I lowered my head and played with the teacup, cautiously observing the situation around me.

Seeing that I didn't dare to drink tea, the old man didn't speak, just smiled, picked up another cup and poured himself a cup, and drank it slowly. I felt a little embarrassed, it seemed particularly bad to doubt an old man like this, but the problems I encountered along the way really made me nervous.

The old man's face and hands were covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were particularly bright and sparkling in this dim environment. He faced the fire, silently smoking his cigarette pouch. The atmosphere became a little awkward, and I measured everything in front of me. Lift the teacup and drink the tea from the cup. The warm tea ran down my throat and I felt my body warm.

Seeing that I had drunk the tea, the old man looked at me and poured me another glass. I didn't hesitate this time, at the end of the day, I was actually thirsty and hungry, and this cup of hot tea was really warm.

After a few cups of tea, someone outside came to tell me, they spoke their own language, I couldn't understand a word, but it seemed that Brother Neng woke up and was brought over by them. When the old man gave them an explanation, the man withdrew, and I got up and walked to the door.

Before I could reach the door, Brother Neng came in.

Brother Neng was very happy to see me, "Xiaolinzi, you are here, it's okay!" ”

"I'm fine, Brother Neng, are you okay?"

I turned my head and walked towards the firepit, and Brother Neng followed. The old man by the fire took another cup and poured a cup of tea for Brother Neng, Brother Neng looked at me, and I nodded to Brother Neng. Brother Neng didn't hesitate, and drank the cup of tea with his head tilted.

"This tea is not bad, with a sweet aftertaste." Brother Neng placed the teacup on the edge of the fire, and the old man smiled and poured another cup for Brother Neng.

"Now, you are all here, there are some things that need to be told to you, we are the patriarch of this village, we have lived in the mountains for generations, of course, not many people know about our existence, these years because of the development of technology, we have also had to build houses in the forest, under the big trees. No outsiders have been here for hundreds of years, so when my people found you, they brought you back to protect the village. Thank you for your understanding. The old man spoke to us while smoking a cigarette pot.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, my friend and I didn't have the intention to break into this place, and we won't mention this place to anyone after we leave. I also ask the old patriarch to send us out as soon as possible. "After listening to the old man's words, after exchanging glances with Brother Neng, I felt that it was better to leave here quickly.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and some men came in with food and a low table, and they set the table on the edge of the fire, and when the food was ready, they withdrew. The old man shook the cigarette pot and said, "You are all hungry, let's eat first, if there is anything, let's talk about it after eating." Saying that, the old man picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass of wine for each of us, and Brother Neng and I sat down at the table and picked up the wine glass. The old man seemed to appreciate our actions. Beckoning us to hurry up and eat the vegetables. Brother Neng and I haven't eaten for nearly a day, and we're already very hungry, and now a table of dishes is in front of us, although it was a little restrained at first, but after it started, it was released. The old man looked at us with a smile, occasionally ordering food and drinking.

Bang~ There was a loud bang, Brother Neng and I were startled, the old man stood up suddenly, the old man who had a calm face since I came in was full of panic, and soon, someone came in outside, and after chatting with the old man, a girl ran in.
