At the head of the village, there is a magnificent archway, with three big characters "filial piety square" written on it, the handwriting has been a little mottled, and it can be seen that it has experienced a lot of ups and downs.

Many young people have already taken out their mobile phones and filmed at the torii.

Qiu Zhiming said to us, "According to the rules of the village, I can only send you here, and then, you need to walk in by yourself, and the day after tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I will come here to wait for you, please come and gather on time." ”

Everyone complained, complained that he was irresponsible, that he didn't take us in, how do we know where to eat and where to stay?

Qiu Zhiming looked at us and said with a serious face, "Everyone, I am not a tour guide, nor am I an employee of a travel company, but I am just volunteering to organize everyone to play here, please recognize this fact." In addition, I have arranged accommodation for you, after you enter the village, you will find Huanxi Inn, the proprietress is called Dong Lanfang, she will be responsible for receiving you. In addition to this, I would like to remind you of three things: First, don't go out after 12 o'clock in the evening. Second, don't enter the ancestral hall in the village. Third, except for Dong Lanfang, don't talk to anyone in the village, don't say a word. Please be sure to abide by what I said, otherwise, no one will be responsible for what happens. Okay, that's all I have to say, I wish you all a good time, and we'll see you the day after tomorrow. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, no matter who called him, he didn't look back, his steps were fast and urgent, leaving us eighteen people, looking at each other, just now the middle-aged uncle who was puzzled that no one had harvested rice was the first to break the silence, "Everyone is out to play, get together in a bunch, it's fate, let's introduce ourselves first, my name is Wang Gang, forty-two years old, probably the oldest in the group." ”

His words caused a burst of good-natured laughter, the atmosphere became lively, everyone introduced themselves, I only remembered the names of a few people, one is the eldest Uncle Wang Gang, the other is the young man with dyed yellow hair, his name is Xiao Bo, and the little superstitious eldest sister and her husband, they are called Cui Yan and Hou **.

After introducing ourselves, we took our luggage and walked to the village, and when we passed under the archway, Huang Qin also took several photos excitedly.

This village is really old, the road paved with stone slabs, on both sides stands a small courtyard made of blue bricks, some of the courtyard doors are closed, some are open, you can see the yard planted with flowers and plants, but no one can be seen.

It's also strange to say that we didn't meet a single person along the way, unlike ancient towns like Lijiang, which are full of people.

In the ancient alley, only the footsteps of our group sounded very empty, recalling in the restaurant, Liu Xiaoqi's reminder, I faintly felt a little uneasy, I wanted to remind Huang Qin that a few of them were careful, and when I looked back, they were so excited that they were like birds out of the cage, holding their mobile phones to pat here and there, I don't want to run up to disturb their interest.

"Do you think this ancient town is a little too quiet?" I don't know when, Ren Yanzhe walked up to me and deliberately lowered his voice to tell me.

I looked around, but there was still no one in sight, except for the movement made by our group, I couldn't hear any other sound, and the uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense, and I replied to him in a low voice, "It's too quiet, I haven't seen a single person after walking for so long." ”

"And that Qiu Zhiming, who is also weird, reminds us not to do those three things, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, I feel as if he is hiding something from us, our trip to Yancun, I'm afraid it's not peaceful, it's better to be careful, you can find a chance to remind Huang Qin and them later." Ren Yanzhe is worthy of being the nephew of the police chief, with a shrewd mind and keen insight.

Huang Qin and the others stood in front of an old house and posed for a photo, Zhou Menglu smiled and waved at us, "Hey, Xiaonan, what are you talking about, hurry up and come over here, let's take a picture together!" ”

I exchanged glances with Ren Yanzhe and walked over quickly.

This house is very magnificent, larger than the courtyards of other houses, it is estimated that it used to be inhabited by the rich, the black lacquer gate is closed, there are two stone lions sitting at the door, the high eaves are carved with flowers, birds and beasts, and the door plaque reads "Qi Mansion" two big characters.

We stood at the gate and asked Uncle Wang Gang to help us take a group photo, after taking it, Wang Gang said, "Don't be busy taking pictures, let's find Huanxi Inn first, after checking in, put down the luggage and have fun, anyway, there are still two days, it will definitely be able to make everyone have fun." ”

Everyone agreed, put away their mobile phone cameras one after another, and walked forward while enjoying the scenery of the ancient street.

Walking and walking, I feel that something is wrong, there seems to be one less person in our group! I hurriedly counted seventeen, and sure enough, there was one missing, and after carefully looking at everyone, I found that Xiao Bo, who had dyed yellow hair, was gone.

Because Wang Gang was the oldest, everyone seemed to regard him as the team leader, and I also hurriedly ran forward and told him that Xiao Bo was gone, he was taken aback, stopped and swept around, but did not see Xiao Bo, and hurriedly waved his hand to let everyone stop and ask if anyone saw Xiao Bo.

Accompanying Xiao Bo was a handsome boy wearing black-rimmed glasses, his name was Xie Bin, and he said that Xiao Bo was in a hurry to urinate just now and ran to find the toilet.

Wang Gang looked at his watch and said, "Then let's wait for him, don't get separated later." ”

A few people complained, saying that Xiao Bo was too team-minded, and he didn't know how to tell everyone when he went to pee, which made everyone worry about him. Xie Bin stood there quite embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Everyone waited for more than ten minutes, Xiao Bo hadn't come back yet, and there were more and more complaints, Xie Bin stood up and said, "That's it, I'll go to Xiao Bo, everyone go to the inn first, and we'll go over and meet you later." ”

Wang Gang said hesitantly, "The ancient town looks quite big, in case you get lost, it will be troublesome." ”

Xie Bin smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, do you have WeChat?" Let's add a WeChat, and when you get to the Huanxi Inn later, you send me a WeChat location, and Xiao Bo and I won't get lost. ”

"Yes, yes, how did I forget the WeChat positioning!" Wang Gang took out his mobile phone, "In this way, let's all exchange mobile phone numbers, add each other's WeChat, if anyone gets lost in the ancient town, you can ask anyone in our group for help." ”

After exchanging phone numbers and adding WeChat, Wang Gang led us to continue to go forward to find Huanxi Inn, Xie Bin returned the same way and went to find Xiao Bo.

We walked for a while in the small alley paved with bluestone slabs, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of food, the aroma, rich and tangy, hooked up the gluttonous worms in our stomachs, and several people sighed that it was so fragrant.

Wang Gang, who was walking at the front, said, "I saw the door of a shop in front of me open, and it might be the Huanxi Inn." ”

We happily quickened the pace, after walking dozens of meters, sure enough, we saw a shop with an open door, this is a two-story wooden building, the doors and windows are carved with flowers, the plaque hanging above the door reads "Huanxi Inn" four big characters, the hall is very bright, there are more than ten wooden tables, there is no one on the counter, we go inside, while calling "Is there anyone?" We're going to stay in a hotel. ”

"Here we are." A cold voice came from the back hall.

Soon, a woman wearing a black embroidered cheongsam and combing her hair came out, she was about forty years old, but she was well maintained, the charm still existed, the skin was very white and soft, a pair of red phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, with a different style, she was not as hospitable as other innkeepers, but looked at us a little indifferently, and said lightly, "How many, live in the hotel or hit the tip?" ”

When Wang Gang saw her, he seemed to be stunned for a few seconds, and quickly reacted and said, "We were introduced by Qiu Zhiming, and he said that he had already booked food and lodging for us." ”

The proprietress opened her red lips lightly, her eyes swept over us indifferently, and her tone was still light, "It turned out that Xiao Qiu introduced me, welcome." He should have told you, my name is Dong Lanfang, you can call me Dong Sanniang, I am alone in the store, you can find me if you have any needs. Everyone has been running all the way, fortunately, now please follow me upstairs to rest. ”

She walked in the front and led us upstairs, with a light waist and elegant steps, Wang Xiaoya pulled my sleeve and whispered, "The boss lady is so temperamental, just like the ladies in ancient times." ”
