The second uncle picked up the map and looked at it. Then, looking up at the surroundings a few more times, he pointed in one direction and said to us, "If this map is not wrong, we should go that way first!" ”

Hearing this, we nodded. We all trust the judgment of the second uncle very much!

So, a few of us started walking in that direction.

Although I have not really entered the mountains of Changbai Mountain yet. However, it is already very cold at the moment! Although the sun still hung high in the sky as before. However, at this time, it is like an ornament, and it does not play any role at all! The sun shines on our bodies, and there is not a trace of warmth.

We walked on the snow, and the snow under our feet was "creaking" as we stepped on it. From time to time, the snow on the branches of the trees next to it fell from above, and fell to the ground with a "poof".

Everything around is very quiet! However, the air is exceptionally fresh!

Soon, we were in a small forest. Because of our intrusion, all the migratory birds that originally inhabited here also fluttered their wings at this time. Brings a touch of life to the whole woods!

Fortunately, the weather is not bad today, which can be described as beautiful and windy! There wasn't even a hint of a breeze around. But we didn't speak. Maybe I came here suddenly, and I didn't feel comfortable with it. It hadn't been long since we walked before our group couldn't help but pant out.

It's almost dusk! Just when we were thinking about whether or not to find a place to camp. Suddenly, Bai Zhanpeng, who had run out to explore the path before, walked back from the front.

As soon as he saw us, he couldn't help but say loudly, "Hi! Brothers, let's! There's no need to sleep in the wilderness now! ”

Suddenly hearing Bai Zhanpeng say this, we were all stunned! Then, it occurred to me that something happened. Asked him aloud with difficulty: "Is there a village in front?" ”

Hearing my question, Bai Zhanpeng nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right! There is a village not far ahead. However, this village is not very large, there are only about a few dozen people! ”

Hearing Bai Zhanpeng's words, several of us couldn't help but be overjoyed! After all, no matter what, as long as there is a village that can give us a night. Well, it's much better than sleeping in the wilderness!

Thinking of this, we sorted out our mood again and continued to rush forward!

Finally, when it was already getting dark, we finally came to the entrance of the village.

Looking at the criss-crossed houses in front of us that sit in the middle of the village, we were all delighted!

At this time, there were also bursts of dog barking in the village. We didn't say much, just raised our legs and walked towards the village.

Now we really can't wait to sit on the hot kang and drink a mouthful of hot rice porridge!

Just as we walked into the village, we heard the barking of dogs, and the villagers also greeted us. After seeing us, none of them spoke, but just stared at us quietly!

We are used to situations like this!

So, I walked out. Then, smiling at them, he said, "Excuse me, everyone! We are adventure lovers who come here from the outside! Just came here and wanted to bother. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, an old man walked out from the back of the crowd.

After meeting this old man, needless to say, I could guess that he should be the head of this village!

Sure enough, when the old man saw us, he just asked us, "Do you want to come to our village for the night, or do you want to buy some supplies and continue on your journey?" ”

Suddenly hearing the old man ask, I was a little curious! How to listen to the tone of the old man, it seems that someone usually stays with them!

Who would come here in this poor country without any trouble?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say my thoughts to the old man.

After listening to my words, the old man cracked his shriveled lips and said to us, "Actually, no one from our village has ever come. It's just that in the last few days, I don't know what's going on, but besides you, two groups of people have already come here. ”

When we heard this, we were all stunned! Then, he couldn't help but ask the old man: "Two groups of people? What kind of people are they? ”

Suddenly hearing our question, the old man couldn't help but be a little alert!

Although they have lived here for a long time, they don't understand the intrigue outside! As the old saying goes, though. The people are old and the horses are slippery!

The old man in front of him looked to be in his sixties. So, he looked at us suspiciously, and then he said to us, "What are you asking them to do?" ”

I hurriedly spoke: "Village chief, don't get me wrong! Actually, we are an expedition. It's just that for some reason, I got separated before I came here. I wonder if the rest of the people have come here? So, I couldn't help but ask! ”

After hearing my words, the old man let down his guard. Nodding his head, he said, "I see!" ”

As he spoke, he pondered for a while and said, "There were about twenty people in the first batch of those two groups, and except for a few talkers, the others didn't say a word. Moreover, after coming to our village, they just bought some food and use from us, and then they all left! As for the second group, there were only eight. When they came to the village, they did not rush to leave. Instead, he settled in the village. Said you were going to wait and see if anyone else came over later? However, after waiting for two days, there was no one who waited! So, I left! If I'm not mistaken, those people are the ones you're looking for! Is that right? ”

Hearing the old man say this, we also understood instantly. The first batch of people he said should be Qiao Fat Man and Gang Ye. They may have wanted to find the entrance to the Eye of the Sky sooner. That's why I left in a hurry! As for this second group of people, if I guessed correctly, it should be Lin Feng and the people of the Soul Burial Sect. They deliberately wanted to stay here for a while, probably because they wanted to see if we would come along! In the end, after waiting for two days and not waiting for us, I chose to leave.

But what about the people of the ghost gate? Why aren't they here? Perhaps, they did not come, or they did, but they did not choose this path!

After seeing that I didn't reply, the village chief couldn't help but ask me again: "Young man, are there any of your teammates in those two groups?" ”

Hearing this, I quickly nodded and said, "Yes!" The second group of people you just mentioned are our teammates! Just didn't know how many days they've been gone from here? ”

Hearing me ask, the village chief thought for a moment and said, "It should have been three days!" ”

Hearing this, I nodded, but I didn't say anything more.

At this time, the village chief couldn't help but ask us, "Are you planning to spend the night now, or do you want to buy some supplies from us?" ”

As soon as I heard the village chief's words, I quickly agreed, "We want to stay here for one night." Is it convenient for you to see? ”

The village chief smiled and said, "What's inconvenient about this? As long as you don't dislike us, the mountains and rivers here are poor, and there is nothing delicious to entertain you! ”

As he spoke, he let the surrounding villagers disperse and go back to their homes. Then, he led us towards a house.

The people in this mountain are very simple! Helpful! I really know this!

Soon, the village chief led us to the front of a house. Then he said to us, "Stay here tonight and rest." Your friends used to live here, too. ”

"Then are we going to disturb the master here?"

Hearing me say this, the village chief smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry! There is no one in this house anymore! ”

"No one?"

When I heard this, I was a little confused!

The village chief nodded, then sighed again and said, "Yes! Originally, this family was the richest in our village. However, while going to the city to do business, there was a car accident! The whole family was killed! It's a pity that when they died, they didn't even have a child! What a shame! ”

Hearing what the village chief said, my heart was tight! I couldn't help but start to wonder if such a house could be inhabited.

Soon the village chief took us around the house. That's why we were going to stay here tonight.

Naturally, I nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes!" ”

However, he also took this opportunity to secretly open his yin and yang eyes and looked left and right. Want to see if there's anything unclean in this house!

Fortunately, after I looked around, I didn't find anything bad!

Although there is still some resentment in the whole house. However, it does not affect people's normal life! It's just that it makes the people who live here feel uncomfortable behind their backs!

However, this kind of thing doesn't matter to us!

After seeing that we had no objections, the village chief began to find firewood to make a fire for us. I couldn't help but ask her, "Village Chief, how did several of our friends pay for living here before?" ”

Suddenly hearing me say this, the village chief couldn't help but shake his head and said, "What to pay?" Don't be so restrictive with me! It's not a hassle! ”

Soon, the village chief lit the fire! The room is slowly starting to get warmer!

After doing these things, the village chief said to us, "All right, you can follow me to my house now, and come back after you have eaten at my house!" ”
