This group of people are all villagers who have returned to the village from the nearby forest, and they go to the forest for different purposes, including woodcutters, fishing, hunting, and even two forest rangers, whose white short sleeves are printed with forest protection symbols, calling on people to make rational use of forest resources, and not to kill chickens and eggs, and forbid fishing in the water.

Of course, what attracted his attention was not the identity of the villagers, but their figures, which were illusory.

"It's weird." Wang Wenyuan muttered quietly while deliberately approaching this group of villagers.

But before he could walk to the villagers, he saw several villagers showing a vigilant look, and at the same time, their figures were almost impossible to see.

Seeing this, he was embarrassed to continue to get closer, and was forced to withdraw his gaze and walk briskly forward.

When he was far enough away from the villagers, he mustered up the courage to observe them again, and following his line of sight, he could clearly see that the villagers had returned to normal at some point, and were walking towards the courtyard of their respective houses with a smile and a smile.

"How so?" Wang Wenyuan rubbed his eyes slightly puzzled, and then quickly chased after Gu Yuexi.

Let's talk about Gu Yuexi's side, since she entered the village, she inexplicably felt that this village was strange, and the reason for this was that the temperature in the village was 5-6 degrees Celsius lower than that outside the village, and then it was the dry season in Assam in March, but the roads and roofs in the village were wet, as if it had just rained.

"Auntie, has there been any rain in the village during this time?" She didn't intend to bury her doubts in the bottom of her heart, so she spoke generously.

"Rain, girl, the rainy season in Assam usually starts in mid-April and ends in late September, and now is the driest time of the year." One of the old women did not hesitate and spoke slowly.

"Then why is this village so wet, could it be that it can't be done because of digging a spring or diverting water from a dark river?" Gu Yuexi was silent for a moment and continued to ask.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the old woman just now showed a surprised look, but fortunately, another old woman hurriedly rounded the circle: "The girl said that it was funny, there are only 100 families in our village, and they have all been conscientious and conscientious since ancient times, so how can they be arrogant and cut the veins of the Earth Mother God?" ”

Seeing the slightly embarrassed expressions of the women, she immediately sensed that there was something wrong with her words, so she bowed slightly and sincerely apologized.

Fortunately, the old woman was by no means a person with chicken intestines and rat belly, considering that the handsome girl in front of her was from afar, and her attitude was sincere, so she chose to forgive her.

Not long after, a young man carrying a wooden box hurriedly came, thinking that it must be Wang Wenyuan.

"Did you find anything?" Gu Yuexi took a step back, lowered her voice and asked.

"Those villagers will be invisible." He didn't dare to slack off at all, and told him what he had discovered before.

"Got it." After all, she had already seen the little girl's invisibility technique, so her first reaction was far less than Wang Wenyuan's.

"The girl is calm." He gasped, still undecided.

"No way, if you meet a teammate who is not so competent, how can you not push yourself?" Gu Yuexi couldn't help but joke, and said in her heart that although Wang Wenyuan was a little more unusual than ordinary people, he still had a long way to go before he could "be alone".

"What is said is that without the matching of green leaves, how can the beauty of Qionghua be highlighted?" He was very interesting, and took the opportunity to polish Gu Yuexi's words a little.

"Hmph." She deliberately kept her face calm, but her heart was as sweet as honey.

After about a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the old woman's house, and to tell the truth, their homes were not far apart, so to speak, the voices of chickens and dogs, and the relationship between them was more like sisters than distant relatives.

"Amir, make tea for the guests from afar." When they entered the old woman's house by the street, they suddenly heard the voice of an honest and low old man.

"Girl, do you like tea?" Wang Wenyuan asked curiously while scanning the potted plants in the courtyard.

"I don't like it, but this is the heart of the host's family, and we, as guests, still have to follow the local customs." Gu Yuexi gently pushed open the door and simply cleaned the dirt from her boots.

The old woman's house is not big, although there are two floors, but each floor will be 30 square meters, in addition, there are so many furnishings in the house that Gu Yuexi walked very carefully, for fear of damaging those old objects.

On one side of the living room sat an old man of about seventy, with gray hair and wrinkles and dark spots on his face, and at this moment, he was reading the newsletter with relish in his newspaper in his hand.

"Grandpa, it's an honor to come to your house." Gu Yuexi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted the old man.

"Distinguished guests, please be seated." The old man's gaze remained on the newspaper, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Gu Yuexi felt a little puzzled, but she was embarrassed to speak, so she had to sit down, pick up the glass, and taste the tea.

"Where do the guests come from and where are they going?" The old man's words were very peaceful, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all.

"We are backpackers from Bagan, travelling via Assam to Bangladesh." Gu Yuexi smiled slightly and said half-truthfully.

"Oh?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and his cloudy eyes blinked two or three times, but quickly returned to normal, and said with a little worry: "Do you know about the recent situation in Assam?" ”

Seeing this, Gu Yuexi quickly sensed the old man's suspicion of her identity, but she didn't want to easily reveal her hole cards, so she said: "I don't know the specific situation, but as far as the clues we have so far are concerned, Assam should not be peaceful recently." ”

The old man nodded slightly, even more convinced that this girl had an unusual background, but he knew that it was absolutely impossible to expose her identity too early, so he reminded her: "In this case, the old man advises the guest to stay longer before leaving." ”

"Of course." Gu Yuexi turned sideways slightly, and said in her heart that she would never taste tea again next time, and she was so bitter.

On the contrary, Wang Wenyuan seemed to be "enjoying it", only to see him showing a "leisurely" look, and most of the desserts on the side were also swept away by him.

Coming out of the second old woman's house, the sun was already in the west, and under the enthusiastic guidance of the villagers, the two of them came to a slightly old inn in the village.

The strange thing is that there are very few people who come to stay in the hotel, so that there is no one to see in the huge courtyard.

"Girl, I didn't say it, there must be a big water tank in the head of this shop owner, and he will do such a loss-making business." Wang Wenyuan glanced at the wooden card and sighed.

Gu Yuexi held back a smile, her eyes paying attention to her surroundings from time to time.

Sure enough, the hall of the inn was empty, and as far as the eye could see, there was only one middle-aged man who was drunk.

"Hey, wake up, wake up." Wang Wenyuan frowned and patted the man's cheek lightly.

"Who is so unreasonable as to dare to disturb your grandfather's rest?" The middle-aged man squinted his eyes, kept the corners of his mouth on his lips, and muttered.

"Hmph, underwhelming." He was already in an irritable mood, and coupled with the man's "fanning the flames", the anger suddenly came up.

"Wenyuan, that's enough." She saw that Wang Wenyuan wanted to be rude, so she immediately dragged him out of the inn.

"Miss Gu, if you hadn't stopped me, I wouldn't have repaired him." Wang Wenyuan was still angry, and his words were full of anger.

"The mad dog barks at you a few times, and you come up to bite it, does it prove that you are not as good as a mad dog?" She gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and said slowly.

Hearing Gu Yuexi's words, Wang Wenyuan suddenly realized and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive." ”

"Alright, you go to the grocery store in front of you and buy some medicine for the wound, and I'll go to the next inn and have a look." Gu Yuexi felt a strong burning sensation in her back, presumably stung by some kind of poisonous insect.

The second inn was a bit more lively than the first, but these people didn't look like guests, but like villagers who had nothing to do and drank and chatted.

"Yo, girl, come to the hotel." A young man with a red face holding a folding fan walked up to her quickly, and there was a choking smell of cigarettes and alcohol in the conversation.

"Hmm." She nodded, subconsciously taking a step back.

"It's really unfortunate that the room hasn't been taken care of for a long time." The young man was smiling, and a hand restlessly slammed into her face.

"Ah......" In the next second, the young man let out a scream of "killing a pig", only to see Gu Yuexi raise his boots and stomp on the top of his feet.

"It's okay, two rooms." She pulled out two dollar bills from her purse and placed them in the young man's hand.

"Please come with me." The young man took the coin with a little pain, and then limped into the door.

Gu Yuexi glanced around and followed.

At the same time, Wang Wenyuan was deeply surprised that this cramped and crowded grocery store was filled with many things that were incompatible with the small mountain village, in addition to the drugs she mentioned to treat trauma, he also saw such modern things as compressed biscuits, energy drinks, canned beef, flintstones, mountaineering picks, oxygen cylinders, protective clothing, etc.

"Boss, these things are not easy to sell." After Wang Wenyuan finished sorting out the medicine, he set his eyes on the delicate objects on the shelves.

"Not bad." The proprietress stood up a little impatiently, with exhaustion between her words.

"In these years, no one is satisfied." Wang Wenyuan muttered quietly, bought some daily necessities, and left the store.

When he walked out of the store, the more Wang Wenyuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the remote and deserted village, the drunken innkeeper, and the tired grocery store proprietress all seemed to prove that the village basically had no purchasing power, and if this was the case, why did they still run the store?

"Alas, there are so many strange things in the barren mountains and mountains." Wang Wenyuan sighed and thought of the group of villagers who would be invisible again.

Two minutes later, he came to the door of the second inn, and found a group of people walking out one after another, looking at their demeanor and demeanor, not like a hotel, but like a group of idlers who had nothing to do.

He subconsciously stood aside, intending to wait for them to be gone before going in.

But at this moment, two familiar figures appeared in the crowd.
