Chapter 6: The Strange Village (3)
"It seems that the village is completely vegetarian, no wonder we haven't seen a cow or a chicken in all this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Ye Yu kept massaging his stomach, his face was ugly, and he didn't know if he could digest it.
"yes...... Alas, I knew I would have brought some spices with me. β
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, didn't we bring food for three days? Let's make do with it first, but now let's get to know the situation in this village first, and find out the secrets hidden in the prophetic painting as soon as possible. β
Xiyue also nodded and said, "Well, it's important to get down to business." β
Han Fanye smiled at her with relief, thinking that she would be hungry directly, but she didn't expect to finish the meal without saying a word, and she was much more mature than before.
"So...... Where to start? We have no contact with any other villagers except this girl, and we don't know what their attitude is towards us, and it will be troublesome if they want to kick us out like the man. β
Ye Yu said in embarrassment.
"Let's take one step at a time, start with this mirror girl, and see if you can learn more information from her mouth."
Night crept down and enveloped this backward and eerie little village.
There was no electricity in the village, so it was completely invisible as soon as it got dark, and although the girl lit a few oil lamps, it did not bring much light.
Han Fanye and the three of them started their first night in this village.
Night gradually fell, and the three of them were very tired after a long day, but no one could sleep.
Although Shigetsu has repeatedly assured that she will be in charge of guarding, how can a man entrust his safety to a girl?
Ye Yu slowly fell asleep in exhaustion, but Han Fanye couldn't fall asleep over and over, and when he turned around, he happened to meet Xiyue's eyes.
"Can't sleep?" Shigetsu smiled sweetly.
"Well...... I always feel that there are too many things wrong with this village, but I can't say it. β
No matter how difficult it was, as long as he saw Xiyue's smile, Han Fanye could forget all his troubles and exhaustion.
He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to gently take Xiyue into his arms, and Xiyue was also like a docile kitten, quietly leaning against his chest.
Han Fanye looked at the ceiling, the look in his eyes constantly changing.
"You say, can we make it?"
"I'm sure I can."
Xiyue raised her head, looked at Han Fanye gently, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say the same at the beginning?" It is precisely because of your self-confidence and courage that I also have the courage to face all this, and now that you ask this question, I can only say that we have no other choice but to succeed. β
Han Fanye couldn't help but feel that his heart was full of emotion and warmth, and hugged Xiyue tightly.
"Well, we're going to make it, we're going to do it!"
"Hehe, okay, go to sleep, I've already cast the induction net, I can sense it within a radius of five hundred meters, don't worry."
"Okay." With Xiyue by his side, Han Fanye can always feel very relieved.
He couldn't resist the drowsiness and fatigue, and gradually fell asleep.
At the moment, in the girl's room.
The girl was sleeping in bed, her eyes suddenly widened, and she got dressed and walked out of bed, and with a little anger on her face went to the door and opened it.
"Are you finished? Why do you keep following me. β
The girl scolded the man in front of her slightly angrily.
Even Xiyue didn't sense the man's existence, but the girl noticed it very easily.
"I ...... Jing'er, I'm worried about you, after all, your parents are not at home, and they are all living people, in case something happens to you, what do you let me do? "The man is not as imposing as during the day, but he cares about the girl very much.
"I said, they are good people, you don't have to worry, okay, don't say anything, Brother Qing, you go back and rest early."
The girl was about to close the door, but the man hurriedly pressed against the door, and said a little anxiously: "Jing'er, why are you doing this to me?" I care about you too, don't I? β
"I ...... Forget it, you go back to sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. β
The man wanted to say anything more, but the girl had already closed the door.
Then she exhaled and prepared to go back to her room to go back to sleep.
Two figures suddenly appeared in front of her, startling her.
"Miss Ye, why haven't you slept yet?"
These two figures were Han Fanye and Xiyue, they were originally asleep, but Xiyue sensed the girl's behavior and immediately woke up Han Fanye.
"I can't sleep." Xiyue smiled stupidly, "Miss Jing'er, who were you talking to just now?"
"Huh?" The girl blushed a little nervously and whispered, "That's it...... The man who wants you to leave the village during the day. β
"Why did he come to you so late? Does he hate us so much?" Han Fanye is really a little angry, isn't this too deceitful?
The girl hurriedly explained, "No, no, he ...... How can I tell you? β
Han Fanye and Xiyue glanced at each other, the two nodded with a tacit understanding, and Han Fanye said first:
"This girl, do you like to read?"
"Huh?" The girl looked up suspiciously, "It's okay, but the books we have here are all written by the villagers themselves, and there is no information about the outside world on them." β
"That's right...... Hey. Xiyue smiled slyly, and said in a somewhat mysterious tone, "I'll tell you, in fact, we are all writers......"
The girl listened to the two sing and talk for a long time, and her brain felt insufficient.
"So, you want to learn the story of this village and write a book?"
"yes, so...... If you want, please tell us a little bit about this village, rest assured, and promise that it will not be leaked. β
This excuse is already the best excuse that Han Fanye can think of, anyway, this girl is also lonely and unheard, and she has no scheming at all, no, it should be said that everyone in this village is like this.
The girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, then you come with me, and I will tell you some things about this village." β
"Okay."
The two smiled triumphantly.
In the living room, the three of them sat around the dining table, and the girl said first:
"Would you like to cook something for you to eat?" You didn't even eat much for dinner! β
"No thanks." Han Fanye decisively refused.
The clear soup is watery, without a little taste, and the pure natural green food has made him eat a shadow.
"Okay...... So where do you start? β
"Let's start with that man, I can feel that he seems to have a crush on you."
As soon as Han Fanye said this, the girl blushed and lowered her head, and said in a low voice:
"Yes, I ...... I have already made a marriage contract with him, and I will get married in half a year? β
Han Fanye was a little surprised, this girl looked like she was only about sixteen years old, and although the man was still young, he had to be twenty-three or four.
However, he did not interrupt the girl's words, and continued to listen to the girl.
"He's actually quite good, but ...... Maybe he cares about me too much, so he repels you a little, but he really has no malicious intentions. The girl looked at them with a begging look.
Han Fanye hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we understand, you can continue." β
"Thank you." The girl looked at them with grateful eyes.
"His name is Qianqing, and our people here are all surnamed Qian, and there can only be one word after the surname."
Han Fanye couldn't help but feel very puzzled, the surname Qian is rarely used, and this kind of special regulation is also rare.
Could there be some mystery in this?
It's a pity that Lin Chengran is not here, otherwise he might be able to speculate something.
"For those of us here, our parents decide the marriage, and last year he proposed to my parents, and my parents agreed, but ...... I don't want to get married so early. β
"Is it because you don't like him?"
"Hmm...... No, maybe it's because they grew up together, and the two of them are too familiar, and I've always regarded him as an older brother, so ......" the girl said with a blushing face.
"Well, well, we get it." Han Fanye didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, and there was no point in it, so he asked while taking notes seriously.
"So, Miss Jing'er, can I ask you some other questions, since you don't have a police officer, what if someone makes a mistake?"
"Well...... Usually the parents deal with it, and if a big mistake is made, the village chief will hold a meeting and then punish it, but this is only what I have heard, and I have not seen anyone make a mistake for so many years. β
The two asked a lot of questions, and Jing'er answered truthfully, and there was no sign that she was lying.
"Well, thank you very much, Miss Jing'er, thank you for telling us so much." Han Fanye thanked him.
"Where, you're welcome." Jing'er seemed very happy, it seemed that no one had chatted with her like this for a long time, and happily said goodbye to the two of them and went back to the room.
Han Fanye also walked back to the room with Xiyue gently, Ye Yu was already sleeping deeply, and the two had to talk in a low voice.
"Shioyue, do you think there's anything wrong with this girl?"
"Well...... Probably not, she wasn't as hostile to us as the man, and she answered our questions naturally and didn't look like she was cheating on us, so I think there should be no problem. β
"That's ......" Han Fanye sighed slightly, the information he collected was all meaningless, and there were no favorable clues at all.
"Or if we go to the village tomorrow, we might find something."
"Okay."
The two of them also slowly fell asleep.
The next day, just after dawn, Han Fanye heard the sound of someone walking in the living room in a daze.
Could it be the mirror? Why did she get up so early?
Han Fanye got dressed and stood up, looked at Xiyue, who was still sleeping beside her, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and then walked out of the door lightly.
Jing'er was busy in the yard, and Han Fanye walked over to greet her.
"Morning, Miss Mirror."
Jing'er also turned around and smiled sweetly at him: "Morning." β
"Why are you up so early?"
"I'm used to it, it's usually so early, how about you? Don't get more sleep? β
"I'm used to it, too."
The air here is very fresh, and it is strange that there is not a single bird in the sky, Han Fanye took a few deep breaths and stretched his limbs.
"What are you up to? Need my help? β
"Cooking you breakfast? No need to help, you go wash your face and you can eat in a while. β
Hearing the word eating, Han Fanye thought of yesterday's vegetarian meal, clear soup with little water, pure natural green food, which almost ate him out of the shadows.
Walk over and see: cabbage, potatoes, noodles.
"That, Miss Jing'er, I heard you have salt here, why don't you put a little bit of it?"
"Huh?" Jing'er looked at him suspiciously, and said, "The salt we have here is used to treat skin injuries, I heard my parents say that salt can't be eaten, and the taste is also very bad, what?" Do you like it?"
Han Fanye didn't know how to explain it, so he stubbornly said: "We've always eaten it like this, it's actually not unpleasant, you can try it." β
"Oh." Jing'er didn't bother with this problem either, and got up to get the salt shaker.
When Ye Yu and Xiyue woke up, Jing'er had just cooked a meal, but she was a little afraid to move her chopsticks.
"Try it, it tastes good."
couldn't resist Xiyue's warm invitation, and watched the three of them gobble up, which was much better than when they ate yesterday, so Jing'er picked up a piece of potato and took a bite gently.
"It tastes really good, thank you, I'll tell the other villagers about this method when I get back."
"Well, then you can eat more."
Han Fanye complained bitterly, they came to investigate the matter of hell reincarnation notes, but they didn't expect to waste so many mobile phones for a meal.
But then again, if they never eat salt, why are these villagers so healthy?
This question arose in Han Fanye's heart.
After the meal, the three of them planned to walk around the village, but Han Fanye politely declined Jing'er's suggestion to be a guide.
"Then you have to be careful, if you get lost, light a fire, and I will look for you when I see smoke." The girl cared about them and was grateful for their presence and taught her so much.
But Han Fanye's heart has been completely convinced, and this village is about to catch up with the primitive society.
"Okay, don't worry."
"Try to come back before dinner, I'll put a little more salt."
Han Fanye nodded with a wry smile, and then walked towards the village with Xiyue.
Along the way, they didn't meet a few villagers, and occasionally a few, who also stood at a distance and looked at them with vigilant eyes, and ran away as soon as they got close.
Ye Yu was responsible for observing the surrounding scene, while Xiyue and Han Fanye were responsible for paying attention to the surrounding situation.
"Then again, Xiyue, have you noticed the clothes these villagers are wearing...... It seems to be all white. Han Fanye said with some uneasiness.
"yes, you don't say I haven't found out yet." Xiyue was also shocked and said, "From yesterday to now, the villagers we have seen are only that man and Jing'er, so we haven't found this problem yet, and now that I think about it, they are all wearing white clothes." β
