Chapter 320: A Village in the Mountains

At the warm invitation of the villagers, we followed the village chief of Nicuo Village, that is, the old man just now, back to the village entrance house to rest.

On the way, I observed more than 100 people in the village, and their lives were ordinary, and there were no children of luck among them.

What makes me wonder is that these people have a fierce aura on their faces.

The so-called 'ferociousness' can only be possessed by outlaws who kill people and set fires, or executioners and generals who behead a thousand people.

Maybe...... It's because of the influence of the sinister mountains and rivers here that the body is stained with ferocity.

Now that we've locked down this village, there's no need to rush.

The whole village is isolated from the world, and there is not even a village road to the outside world, so it relies on climbing mountains.

The households in the village are very scattered, and a rough estimate is that three days is enough time to complete the house-to-house investigation.

After walking more than ten miles of mountain roads, we returned to the entrance of the village.

The buildings in the village are dilapidated, except for his family's house, which is a small two-story building.

The first floor was a mess, littered with cigarette butts, plastic paper, and moldy dishes and chopsticks.

The village chief was very enthusiastic and led us to the back room, "Two of you, there is a futon in the cupboard, you can use it as you like."

The back room was a bedroom, and the old wooden bed was covered with urine stains and rat droppings, and the damp musty smell ran straight to the nostrils.

Squeak –

A rat fell from the beam of the house and landed at Cha Yunfei's feet.

Cha Yunfei's face turned pale in an instant, and she was stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly closed her eyes and screamed in horror.

The village chief, who was in his fifties and had a slender figure, had a gleam in his eyes, and immediately took out a rusty dagger from his waist.

He stepped on the rat's tail and plunged the knife into his neck.

There were a few squeaky screams and he collapsed in a pool of blood.

The village chief smiled, "Tonight, let's have meat!"

When I saw the mouse, I was sick to my stomach.

"You wait, I'll cook!"

The village chief went out with a mouse, and Cha Yunfei asked me in an embarrassed whisper, "Mr. Zhuge , do we have to live in this house?"

Others are kindly invited, no matter what the environment is, there is no reason to dislike it.

I politely asked, "Village Chief, we like to have a wider view, can we go upstairs and live?"

"Yes, you can sleep wherever you like!"

"Thank you."

We went to the second floor and found a total of one main hall and three living rooms, completely in a rough state, with no decoration at all.

Judging by the age of the house, it is at least 30 years old.

The people of this village live ...... It's casual.

Although there is no decoration here, it is much better than downstairs.

I took out my broom, swept up the fallen leaves on the floor, and took out the tent, sleeping bag, etc. from the storage bag.

Cha Yunfei looked at my equipment and supplies greedily, "Mr. Zhuge , you are really well prepared."

"Alright, don't stare at me like that."

I reluctantly said, "You live in your sleeping bag at night, and I'll live outside to keep vigil for you."

Cha Yunfei looked at me gratefully, "Thank you, you are really a gentleman."

A gentleman's demeanor, the reason why I am willing to keep vigil for Cha Yunfei is because she has no sense of crisis warning.

I didn't explain, I didn't mock.

If I brush up on Cha Yunfei's favorability here, I may be able to make friends with Bodhi Zi in the future, which will be of great benefit to me in the future.

As soon as we were packing up our things on the roof, we heard the village chief shouting from below.

"The meal is ready, let's come down!"

There is a bonfire burning on the ground floor on the first floor, and an iron pot is set up on the bonfire, and the village chief is stir-frying bacon with unknown vegetables and peppers.

There are potatoes in the fire pit, and there is a jar of chili noodles next to it.

In an iron pot full of grease and dirt, there is hot rice.

The dishes and chopsticks on the floor were all dirty, and I took them out of the storage bag

Own tin box kitchenware.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

In addition, I also took compressed biscuits and milk to share with the village chief.

"This outside is just delicious."

The village chief took a bite on the compressed biscuit, and I was afraid that one of his few teeth would be broken by the biscuit.

For the village chief, what is outside is a good thing.

But I'm used to sleeping in the open, even if the meal is a little sloppy, but the hot rice and potatoes are better than the cold compressed biscuits.

Cha Yunfei frowned slightly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Mr. Zhuge , I ...... I can't enjoy the local food, can you give me a piece of compressed biscuit?"

"Yes."

I gave Cha Yunfei a milk and biscuits, "Miss, it's not as good as at home, if you pay attention to everything, you can't survive."

This Cha Yunfei is indeed a little too weak.

Cha Yunfei lowered her head and ate embarrassedly, without refutation.

Halfway through my meal, I suddenly felt that the taste was wrong, "Village Chief, what kind of meat is this?"

"Rat meat just now. Hey, it's so easy for me to eat such a fresh and fat mouse."

Suddenly, my stomach churned.

"I'm sorry, I'm going out."

I hurriedly went out, and Cha Yunfei followed curiously.

When I went out to the grove next to me, I couldn't control my stomach anymore.

"Gash-"

I spit out all the food I had just eaten.

Cha Yunfei patted my back very intimately, "Are you okay?"

I rinsed my mouth with water, panted hard and said, "I just said that your eldest lady has a temper, and now I will take it back."

"It seems that you can't eat everything in the wild......

When we got back, we had a perfunctory meal of baked potatoes and asked the village chief to make a certificate and went to every house to look for the 'son of luck'.

On the first day, we searched north from the entrance of the village, and about a third of the people were checked.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

On the second day, the third day, continue to the north.

More than 100 homes scattered all over the place were visited by us.

Unfortunately, nothing was gained.

At night, tired of eating milk and compressed biscuits, I caught two rabbits from the mountains and squatted at the door to roast them.

Cha Yunfei stared at the burnt rabbit and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

The first rabbit was roasted, and I handed it to Cha Yunfei, who was about to swallow half a catty of saliva, "Oh, let's eat."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuge very much!"

Cha Yunfei took a bite happily and stuck out her tongue so hotly.

"The whole village has been searched, even the elderly and children, we haven't missed a single one."

"Mr. Zhuge , could we be in the wrong place?"

I asserted, "No way. The compass can't be wrong, and we're sure there are still people who haven't found it!"

At sunset, the second rabbit was roasted.

The village chief appeared at the door carrying a plastic bag of liquor, peanuts, and potatoes.

At the sight of the rabbit, the old village chief's eyes lit up.

"You two, you've had a great harvest today!"

I made a gesture of please, "Why don't you come too?"

"Hehe, then you're welcome."

The village chief sat down and gave me a bottle of liquor, which I didn't drink.
