Following.

Jiang Yao woke up in Ji Huaiye's arms.

The man sat against the cave with his eyes closed, and the light of the sky fell on his face.

Even when he was asleep, his expression was very cold and meticulous.

Jiang Yao quietly got out of his arms.

After a while, Ji Huaiye also opened his eyes.

The two washed up.

Jiang Yao took some food out of his small warehouse.

After breakfast, the two continued on their way.

After another day, I finally arrived at a village.

The two stayed overnight at a villager's home.

The villager, an elderly couple, with a child of six or seven years old.

The child didn't recognize his life, and soon became familiar with Jiang Yao.

The kid was like a child king, patting his chest and bragging to Jiang Yao, saying that he was familiar with this area.

"Where is that?" Jiang Yao pointed in one direction.

The child's face changed suddenly: "You can't just go there." ”

"Didn't you say you could go anywhere?" Jiang Yao said in a joking tone.

The child's grandfather heard it and took over the conversation.

"It's Blackstone Village, you can't go there, everyone in that village will eat people."

"Cannibalism? What the hell is going on, old man? Tell me about it. Jiang Yao looked curious.

The old man saw that she was really interested, and felt that it was okay to talk about this matter, and it was really out of kindness, so he told the story about it:

"The villagers of the Black Stone Village are very fierce, and there was a hunter in our village who disappeared before. The people of our village, based on the footprints, found the territory of Blackstone Village. We felt that the Orion must have entered the village of Blackstone. We wanted to go in to find it, but it turned out that all the old and young people in Blackstone Village were armed with knives and axes, and they wanted to fight with us, refusing us to take half a step in. ”

"What about Orion?"

"Naturally, I didn't find it, so we said that Blackstone Village cannibalism."

Jiang Yao felt that this was not only the fierce folk customs, but also the bandits.

In Jiang Yao's heart, the danger of this trip has risen to another level.

"Don't go near there, go around as you pass."

"Old man, has Blackstone Village always been like this before? Or has it only been like this in recent years? Jiang Yao continued to inquire.

"It wasn't like that before." The old man said, "In the past, we also interacted with the people of Blackstone Village, and there was an exchange of goods, and the people of Blackstone Village were quite simple and kind. They became like this ten years ago. ”

Ten years ago......

The Plum Blossom Lady is a time-traveler, almost ten years ago.

Therefore, the changes in Blackstone Village are most likely related to Mrs. Plum Blossom.

"Blackstone Village has become like this, old man, do you know the reason?" Jiang Yao continued to ask.

"In this Heishi Village, there are two surnames, one surnamed Shi and the other surnamed Cheng. Cheng moved here more than ten years ago, probably from the beginning of the Cheng family's move. ”

Jiang Yao thought about it and felt that this Cheng family was most likely Mrs. Plum Blossom's person.

Her father was able to leave Heishi Village and enter Lushui County, and was seen by Uncle Niu, which means that her father is relatively free and safe.

The most important thing now is to find him and confirm his identity.

Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye spent the night at the villagers' house, leaving some money, and set off towards Heishi Village early the next morning.

Jiang Yao told Ji Huaiye everything he heard.

Ji Huaiye nodded: "It's similar to what I heard before." ”

"Aye, you said we would go like this, do you want to make up an identity?" Jiang Yao said.

It is very likely that the Black Stone Village will be controlled by the Plum Blossom Lady, and their appearance is bound to attract attention.

Make up an identity and a reason to enter Blackstone Village, and it is less likely to arouse suspicion.

Ji Huaiye nodded: "Husband and wife, looking for the lost child, strayed into the Black Stone Village." ”

Jiang Yao nodded: "Yes, under special circumstances, you can use it." ”

Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye walked towards Heishi Village, and the further back they went, the more difficult it became.

Walking to the sunset, I finally saw the village in the mountains.

Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye originally planned to sneak into Blackstone Village.

"Who are you?" Suddenly, I heard a scream.

As soon as Jiang Yao turned around, he saw two men dressed as villagers quickly walking over and looking at them vigilantly.

Jiang Yao said the rhetoric he had prepared a long time ago.

said that he and Ji Huaiye were husband and wife, and the child was lost, so he found it.

"There are no strange children in our village." One of the men said, "Hurry up, if you take a step further, you may encounter something." ”

The man's expression was fierce and threatening.

The average person has long been scared.

Jiang Yao also made a scared look: "We...... We just want to find the kids, and we don't do anything bad. ”

"Yo, there's a guest coming." At this moment, another voice rang out.

He was an old man with a gray beard.

As soon as he appeared, the two fierce men became respectful.

"Second Uncle Cheng."

"You two, I let you be kind to people, but you are so fierce, as if others owe you." Second Uncle Cheng counted the two men.

The two men nodded again and again: "Second uncle, you are right. ”

"We know it's wrong."

Second Uncle Cheng saw that they had a good attitude in admitting their mistakes, so he let them go and looked at Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye.

"Two guests, I'm sorry, we are very friendly in Blackstone Village, and some rumors are misunderstandings. What are you two doing when you two come to Blackstone Village? Second Uncle Cheng had a smile on his face, and his expression was very kind.

Jiang Yao took out the prepared set of rhetoric and said it again.

"It turned out that the child was lost, as a parent, the child must be in a hurry if he loses it, I can understand. However, it's getting dark, so you can rest for one night in our Black Stone Village, and tomorrow I'll let all the strong men in the village help you find it. Second Uncle Cheng said.

Jiang Yao looked around for a while with anxiety on her face, but did not speak, revealing a mother's heart.

Ji Huaiye looked much calmer and thanked Second Uncle Cheng.

"Then it's troublesome Second Uncle Cheng."

Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye followed behind Second Uncle Cheng and came to the family at the entrance of the village.

"Ergen!" Second Uncle Cheng shouted.

After a while, a villager with an honest face came out.

"Second uncle, you call me."

"These two guests will stay at your house tonight, you can take care of it." Second Uncle Cheng said.

The two nodded again and again, and welcomed Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye in, very hospitable.

They also deliberately cleaned up a clean room, and the bedding and sheets were changed cleanly.

The second daughter-in-law repeatedly said that if there was any problem, she would look for her, and then she went out.

Ji Huaiye closed the door and glanced at Jiang Yao.

"The people of this Blackstone Village are hospitable, and it's not at all the same as what is said outside." Jiang Yao said.

However, it was as if it was said on purpose.

She suddenly approached Ji Huaiye, and said in a very low voice, solemnly: "Aye, this village is too problematic. ”
