"Who are you and how did you come to our village?"

Among the dozen or so people, a swarthy man in his fifties dressed in a black national costume and wearing a black turban, spoke Mandarin with a thick local accent, and asked in a serious tone.

"You're the village chief here?"

Wen Feng is kind and pleasant, and very polite.

"Yes! What are you doing here? The man still spoke in the same tone.

"Hello village chief, let's come here to find a family surnamed 'Feng', I don't know if you know where they live?"

"There are no people surnamed Feng here, you are in the wrong place!"

The village chief still said coldly, and the dozen or so middle-aged people around him also looked uneasy.

"Is there really not? I was a distant relative of theirs, and I had come to look for them. ”

Wen Feng further explained his identity, but the village chief still said that he did not know.

"Not really! Let's go! There are no outsiders left in our village! ”

After speaking, the village chief stretched out his hand and motioned for them to leave.

"Huh? You are unreasonable, even if the person we are looking for is not here, you don't have to drive us away! ”

"Hemming!"

Heming was immediately displeased, and expressed his dissatisfaction without concealment, and Wen Feng immediately scolded him and told him not to talk too much.

"Huh?"

As soon as Hai Ming spoke, more than a dozen people on the opposite side suddenly looked fierce and wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by the village chief.

"There's really no one you're looking for here, so let's get out of here! Otherwise, I won't be able to guarantee your safety in a moment! ”

"Okay, let's go now~Excuse me~"

Wen Feng nodded, and then pulled Haiming and Lu Yan back, his palace.

Before leaving, he kept scanning the surroundings with his heavenly eyes, and he didn't see anything unusual, so he didn't know why this village was so repulsive to outsiders.

Out of the village, there were still seven or eight people who followed the entrance of the village to watch from afar, and it seemed that this village did have secrets that no one knew.

"Shall we go like this? Still have to walk back? Nearly 20 kilometers! ”

After leaving the village, Haiming looked back from time to time, and then looked at the winding mountain road in front of him, with a questioning expression. Lu Yan also spoke.

"yes, really just leave?"

"No way, we have to leave, at least make them think we're leaving." Wen Feng was silent for a moment and said.

"Do you mean we'll bypass them and come back?"

"Yes!"

"Shall we go back today?" Lu Yan asked.

"No return~"

"And where are we staying at night?"

"Sleeping in the mountains!"

"Huh?" Lu Yan and Hai Ming suddenly looked frightened and couldn't believe it.

"Are you scared?" Wen Feng smiled evilly.

"I don't want it! There are no tents, there are no sleeping bags, this barren mountains and wild forests, snakes, insects, rats and ants do not say, have you forgotten the travel guide in our hotel, there are leopards in the Wuling Mountains! ”

Lu Yan was suddenly reluctant, and her tone was resolute.

"I don't want to, I'm not afraid of leopards, I'm afraid of mosquitoes, you see I'm covered in bags now, there is no tent, we will be sucked dry by mountain mosquitoes at night!"

Hemming grabbed his skin that had been bitten by mountain mosquitoes, and looked trembling.

"It can all be solved, it's a big deal that I'll hold up the enchantment for the two of you all night!" Wen Feng couldn't hold back a smile and looked like he was wrapped around me.

“……”

Lu Yan and Hai Ming rolled their eyes after listening to Wen Feng's words.

The group of three walked back like this until they had walked a few kilometers.

"What are your plans, tell me quickly, we have walked three kilometers, and you have no intention of turning back!"

Lu Yan was carrying a travel bag and didn't speak, looking at what Wen Feng was going to do, but she had already walked a few kilometers, Wen Feng had not responded, and she finally couldn't help but ask.

"That's right, keep saying that I'm noisy, ruining the atmosphere here, you don't mean to travel!"

Hemming chimed in.

"Look, there!"

Wen Feng shook his head, and helplessly pointed to the lower right of the mountain road, about a kilometer in the distance, in the dense woods, a beam of cooking smoke slowly rose.

"How do you know?"

Lu Yan and Hai Ming asked at the same time with wide eyes.

"I saw it when we passed by here in the morning, and it wasn't so thick at that time~"

"Even if there are people, what can they say, aren't they guarding against us?" Lu Yan was puzzled.

"Let's try our luck, if we're lucky, we don't have to eat dry bread for lunch, and we still have a place to stay at night!"

"Luck?"

Hearing such unreliable words, Hai Ming was helpless, thinking about when this Wenfeng became so unreliable, and he began to try his luck.

"What kind of eyes do you look at, monsters? I said that you two don't use your brains, only a bunch of cooking smoke, which means that there are not many people living there!

If the people who live there are also from Qingzhu Village, why do they move so far? If it wasn't from Qingzhu Village, how could there be no chance to live? ”

Seeing Lu Yan and Hai Ming's suspicious eyes, Wen Feng laughed angrily, and then explained the reason.

"That's it! You didn't say it earlier! ”

"You two pig brains!"

“……”

It looked like it was just over a kilometer away, and it took me half an hour to find that place after digging into the woods.

A small river that flowed slowly, a clearing was opened in the woods in front of it, and a wooden building was built that was one and a half meters high and nearly four meters high, and there was a small wooden house next to it, and the smoke came out of the chimney above.

A ring of wooden pens surrounded the clearing, in which there was a stack of wood, on which a majestic rooster stood like a guard, and vegetables were planted in the clearing, and an old hen with seven or eight chicks was chirping in the grass.

Everything looks a little shabby, but it has a unique style, surrounded by natural scenery, flowers, grass, trees, water, and misty mountains in the distance.

"It's so quiet and beautiful here!"

Hai Ming and Lu Yan both sighed that this scene can completely interpret the scenery of the mountain village in their fantasy.

The only thing that is lacking is that the vision in front of you is not wide enough.

Wen Feng and the three of them slowly walked to the front of the courtyard and raised their voices.

"Is the owner of the house there?"

After a few consecutive sounds, an old woman's voice came from the kitchen cabin.

Wenfeng: They didn't understand, but a grandmother in her sixties dressed in traditional clothes walked out of the cabin.

Seeing the three young people smiling and waving to her, she was a little surprised and a little suspicious, but she still walked over with a smile, her pace was steady, and she was quite healthy.

“xxxxx～”

The old grandmother stepped forward and asked a few words, speaking the local language, Wenfeng and they couldn't understand it.

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I don't understand~" Wen Feng smiled and gestured.

"Oh, I'm asking you, who are you looking for? Or are you lost? ”

After the old grandmother heard what Wen Feng said clearly, she slowed down for a moment, and then said it again in Mandarin, a little lame, worse than what the village chief said, but it was still possible to communicate slowly.

From the kind smile that the grandmother showed when she came over, Wenfeng, Lu Yan and Hai Ming knew that she was different from the villagers of Qingzhu Village. Hope burned in my heart.

Wen Feng explained the meaning word by word, and after listening to it, the old grandmother thought for a while, shook her head, and said that there is really no one surnamed Feng.

This Xia Feng is a little lost, it stands to reason that Senior Liu will not lie to him, could it be that he made a mistake?

The Qingzhu Village that Senior Liu said was this one in this area, and he also asked in the town.

Could it be that Liu's predecessor remembered it wrongly? Either there is something hidden that no one in the village wants to divulge, or my great-grandmother's family is incognito, and no one knows about it at all.

"It seems that we have to start from other aspects~"

Wen Feng couldn't think of a way for a while, so he had to plan to go back to the city and come back with a plan.

"What should we do, shall we go back? Or do you want to find a way to stay and keep looking? ”

Lu Yan didn't know what to do now, she wanted to hear what Wen Feng thought, anyway, she couldn't guess what Wen Feng was thinking.

"Let's go back first, I don't know the place here, and the atmosphere is not so open, so it's really not safe."

Wen Feng came back to his senses and said what he thought.

"Huh? Didn't you say~ Are we going to walk back? ”

Hai Ming wanted to talk about the nightstay, but when he saw Wen Feng's eyes, he immediately changed the topic.

"I left the phone number of the tricycle driver just now, but there is no signal here, and I can't guarantee that I will be able to get through, so I can't find another way."

After saying that, the three of them said goodbye to the old grandmother and prepared to leave.

"It's noon, do you have anything to eat? Is there water to drink? Why don't you eat and leave? ”

Seeing Wenfeng and they were about to leave, the old grandmother looked at the sky and asked Wenfeng to come down for lunch.

Wen Feng wanted to refuse politely, but he didn't expect Hai Ming to agree first.

"Yes, yes, I'm hungry! I really want to try my grandmother's handiwork! I haven't really eaten authentic Tujia food yet! ”
