"Could it be that there is no one in the first place?" A few people talked as they walked, following the group from a distance.

"Possibly... Ah Moon replied.

"Impossible... Jiang Qiao affirmed.

"How do you know?" Mao Daxin looked at Jiang Qiao in surprise at the same time, and even Jiang Li, who was walking in front to discern the direction and had not participated in the discussion, turned his head to look at her.

"I just saw it, although it is not very obvious, but the sedan chair driver is very hard when carrying the sedan chair, and when he first walks, he stumbles a little. If there is no one in the sedan chair, how can this be? Jiang Qiao explained.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to observe very carefully." Mao Daxin teased.

"I was thinking at the beginning, could such a strange wedding procession be just a ceremony, there was no one in it at all, so I was observing very seriously, although there was no bride, and there were no parents to send off, but there were indeed people in the sedan chair." Jiang Qiao smiled embarrassedly.

"Even if there is someone in the sedan chair, we can't be sure that it must be a bride, maybe someone is sitting in it pretending to be a bride, and when they are finished at the waterfall, this person walks out and walks back like everyone else." Mao Daxin put away his hippie smile and analyzed it seriously.

"Yes." Mao Daxin's analysis also makes sense, indeed, the fact that there are people in the sedan chair does not mean that there is a bride, after all, I have never seen the bride from beginning to end.

"We've been going down the hill." Amoon said.

"Down the mountain?" Jiang Qiao suddenly reacted, his feet are much faster and easier to walk now, although he can't see the road clearly in the fog, but the feeling under his feet is indeed a downhill road.

"Up the mountain, down the mountain, my God, if this bride is still here, won't she marry to the next mountain? Didn't I hear that these people in the mountains did not intermarry with other villages? Mao Daxin also felt it, and sighed strangely.

"Why can't you intermarry with other villages?" Amoon asked curiously.

When Jiang Qiao heard this question, he explained triumphantly: "I know this, I'll come on, I'll tell you, I heard the teacher say when I was in college before, villages like this are very poor because of traffic blockage, and the people in the mountains are patriarchal, so there are fewer girls and more boys, resulting in inequality between men and women, if girls marry elsewhere, then the men in this village will not be able to marry wives." Therefore, it is generally forbidden for girls to marry outside. ”

"Is it okay?" Ah Moon sighed when he heard this.

"So, there were too many close relatives intermarrying in the past, the offspring were not in good health, the mortality rate was low, and there were even fewer people. Mao Daxin nodded, agreeing with Jiang Qiao's statement.

"Here we are."

A few people were talking along the way, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed than the first half of the journey, but I didn't feel that the journey was long, and suddenly heard Jiang Li say it, they all looked around strangely, and after looking for a long time, Mao Daxin wondered: "This place is a little familiar?" ”

"Isn't this the Locust Tree Village? When we entered the village yesterday, we stopped under this tree. Ah Moon pointed to a large locust tree nearby.

"This... This is coming back? No way, I remember we walked for almost two hours when we went. How long has it been since you came back? Mao Daxin looked around in disbelief.

"This is indeed Locust Village, the ascent is slow, the descent is fast, and I think their speed is also much faster than when they went. Now it's a bit windy, the fog in the village is not as thick as on the mountain, if we follow it any further, we will be discovered, let's go back to the B&B and wait for the boss. Jiang Li suggested.

Several other people also felt that it made sense, and followed Jiang Li, groping forward, Jiang Qiao walked a few steps, suddenly thought of something, and said hurriedly: "Jiang Li, do you know the way back?" You're a road idiot! ”

Jiang Li didn't look back, and said coldly: "I'm not a road idiot. ”

When the four of them returned to the B&B, the boss was already anxiously pacing back and forth in the courtyard, as soon as he came back, he went to find Jiang Li and a few people, but was surprised to find that they were not in the room, and when he turned around, he saw the four people walking in quietly, and wanted to sneak back to the room around himself, and couldn't help but be angry and said: "Thousands of explanations, don't go out, you... I'm so angry, pack my bags now, and I'll send you out of the village. ”

Mao Daxin hurriedly stepped forward to coax the boss: "Boss, dissipate your anger, don't be angry." ”

Jiang Qiao couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Jiang Li, saying that he was not a road idiot, and he couldn't find his way back after detouring around for a long time, so he waited until the gathered villagers were disbanded, and seeing that it was really not good, he was willing to call out Xiao Yuanzi to lead the way.

Man, you really want to die to save face.

"You guys run out casually, what if you are discovered, I will have to be unlucky." The boss roared in a low voice, his eyes still staring behind them, for fear that someone would follow them.

"We just wondered what you were doing, so we took a look around the neighborhood." Mao Daxin observed the boss's expression as he spoke, and when he saw that he talked about their assembly, his face immediately changed, and he secretly thought in his heart: There must be something unsightly and strange here, but on the surface, he smiled quietly: "But when we went out, no one could be found, where did you all go?" ”

The boss was secretly relieved when he heard Mao Daxin say this, but he didn't know his reaction, and he was all in front of Mao Daxin.

"We ... We... We just held a village meeting behind closed doors, and it didn't matter much. The boss waved his hand and said vaguely.

"Why do you want everyone to go to the villagers' meeting, and no one is left?" Mao Daxin pretended not to believe it.

"Who said that all the people, the pregnant women didn't go... Belch... Okay, don't ask so much, hurry up and pack your bags. The boss found that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly waved his hand to urge.

"No, boss, we've just arrived, and we've just walked around the village and found no danger, so don't scare us, do you want to raise the price?" Mao Daxin said deliberately.

He winked at the others, and there was a message in the boss's words: Except for the pregnant woman, everyone else has to go to see off their relatives?

"I... I... "The boss obviously doesn't have Mao Daxin to mess around, and he is so angry that he can't speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to make a round: "I know that the boss is a good person and will not do such a thing that lacks morality." ”

"That's it, I... I don't have any money to do this kind of thing, and my son is making a lot of money outside. When the boss saw someone facing him, he immediately hardened.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiao's words changed sharply: "Then you should tell us, what is the danger here, you won't let us stay." ”

"This... I can't say that. The boss stammered.

"Well, tell us what we need to do, your village has had tourists before, so why can't we get there?" Jiang Qiao thought of a compromise.

"Uh... Unless... Unless the fog clears. ”
