Chapter Ninety-Seven: There Is a Problem in This Village
Chapter 97
The enthusiasm of the villagers was beyond expectations, and after Qin Yu and the others stayed at the village chief's house, a group of people surrounded the village chief's house and listened to Qin Yu and the others talk about the things outside.
And the women in the village ran home to cook one after another, saying that they wanted to entertain Qin Yu and the others.
But it was this enthusiasm that made Qin Yu and Gongsun Qi feel that something was wrong.
In this war-torn era, even if you live in a village deep in the mountains for a long time, the villagers should be very wary of outsiders, after all, outsiders are likely to break the peace here.
Here, on the other hand, the villagers are extremely enthusiastic, as if they are not afraid of getting into trouble.
When Qin Yu was talking about the outside world, he was as it was, but when the villagers asked Qin Yu to talk about his own affairs, Qin Yu could only talk nonsense.
When telling his story to the villagers, Qin Yu directly adapted and applied Shen Wansan's story to himself, listening to the continuous admiration of these villagers.
After an hour and a half of continuous narration, the villagers' meals were ready, and one dish after another was served on the huge table of the village chief's house, and there were more than a dozen dishes.
The village chief sat on the main seat, squinted and smiled: "There are no good things in the village, a few people can make do with it, don't dislike it, don't dislike it." β
Qin Yu arched his hand and smiled: "The village chief is polite, this is already the best meal we have eaten these days." It's just that there are so many dishes, and a few of us can't finish them, so let's enjoy them together. β
"I can't do it." One of the villagers hurriedly said, "These are all for entertaining distinguished guests, and according to the rules of the village, we can't move, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the guests."
"And this rule, since that's the case, then we're welcome." Qin Yu picked up the chopsticks as he spoke.
At the moment when Qin Yu was about to pick up the vegetables, Qin Yu suddenly stopped his chopsticks, and the faces of several villagers also changed slightly.
Qin Yu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Everyone, I suddenly remembered one thing, I want to teach you, so that you don't go out in the future and be harmed by traitors." β
Several villagers looked at each other, and finally looked at Qin Yu suspiciously.
Qin Yu smiled and took off the silver hairpin on his head and asked, "Do you know what this is?" β
"Silver hairpin?" A villager asked, confused.
"It's the silver hairpin." Qin Yu continued to ask: "Then do you know what the use of this silver hairpin is when you go out?" β
The villagers looked at each other, then shook their heads.
Qin Yu introduced with a smile: "This silver has a characteristic, it turns black when it is poisoned, and the poison in the world cannot escape this method." β
"Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to do it." Qin Yu stabbed the silver hairpin into a dish as he spoke, "It's that simple, just put it in the dish and take it out for a while." β
The faces of several villagers changed again and again, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Yu put the silver hairpin into the dish in front of them.
Qin Yu took out the silver hairpin, and the silver hairpin was still shining silver, without the slightest change.
"Look, if this silver hairpin has not changed, it means that it is non-toxic. Of course, it's not that I don't trust you, but I just teach you how to survive. Qin Yu bowed his hand to the villagers with an apologetic face.
"It's okay, it's okay, thank you for teaching us this, otherwise we wouldn't know." The villagers squeezed into smiling faces and tried to make themselves look natural.
At this moment, a villager shouted angrily: "What's the matter, you mothers-in-law, these dishes are all paste, and these dishes, they are served before the heat arrives, do you want to lose the face of the whole village?" β
In the midst of the scolding, half of the dishes on the table were removed, and the table was immediately empty.
Qin Yu and Gongsun Qi glanced at each other, and sure enough, there was a problem, those dishes didn't seem to have a problem at all, but they looked much better than the dishes on the table now.
The old village chief took Qin Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Let the distinguished guests smile, and please forgive me." β
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, looked up at the old village chief, and saw that the old village chief had a smile on his face, and there was no abnormality.
"The old village chief is polite, people are not sages, who can do nothing," Qin Yu smiled and patted the old village chief's hand.
The light in the old village chief's eyes flashed, "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing." Good! Good! Well said! β
"The old village chief is polite, politeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
In a polite voice, Qin Yu and the others ate the meal peacefully.
And when the meal was finished, the villagers also went back some.
Qin Yu said that he had eaten too much and wanted to walk around to eliminate food, but there were still a few villagers who followed Qin Yu and the others, as if they were afraid that Qin Yu and the others would run away.
Fortunately, these people were still some distance away from Qin Yu and them, and they did not affect the whispered communication.
"My lord, there is really something wrong with this village, could it be Chu Jun?" Gongsun Qi whispered.
"Can there be a woman in the Chu army? It took a lot of effort to build such a village. β
"That's a bandit." Gongsun Qi asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" β
"Find an opportunity to let the brothers who are answering outside at the same time Qin Yuan, and put down this group of bandits tonight!" Qin Yu looked outside the village and said.
Qin Yu and the others walked around the village, and then walked outside the village.
Seeing this, a villager hurriedly ran up and stopped in front of Qin Yu and the others.
"A few distinguished guests, are we not treating them well? Why do you want to leave? β
Qin Yu said with a smile: "You misunderstood, we didn't want to leave, but after walking around the village, we felt that it was best to see your village from outside the village, so I went out to have a look." β
"Don't worry, we won't go far, just a few dozen steps ahead."
"This..." The villager thought for a moment, "Okay, if you leave, the people in the village will scold us for not treating you well." β
"Hahaha, what's the matter, your hospitality made us feel at home, and we were reluctant to leave." Qin Yu smiled and patted the villager's shoulder.
When a few people left the village, the villagers were still following, just like guards, and they didn't talk to Qin Yu and the others, just followed quietly.
After reaching a similar position, Qin Yu and the others stood up a small slope and looked at the village that came out of the painting.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the smoke curls up, making it even more calm and peaceful in the red light of dusk.
It's just that Gongsun Qi suddenly pulled up his stomach at an inopportune time.
"It should be that there is a problem with the wild fruit I ate this morning, you hurry up and find a place to solve it, don't pull it, hurry up!" Qin Yu pinched his nose and scolded.
"Yes, President!" Gongsun Qi's face turned red, as if he was going to pull his trouser pocket in the next moment.
Gongsun Qi slipped into the bushes next to him, and the villagers who followed hesitated for a moment, and finally did not make any move.
After Gongsun Qi got into the bushes, he lay on the ground and crawled among the bushes.
I didn't know until a quarter of an hour later that I got out of the bushes.
After Qin Yu reprimanded Gongsun Qi a few times, he followed a few villagers back to the village.
