Lin Yu and the others walked across the suspension bridge into the dense forest in front of them, and after walking for a distance, they began to enter the narrow cracks in the ground.

Scattered houses began to appear at the bottom of the cracks, all made of bricks and tiles, and they looked no different from ordinary rural homes in the outside world.

However, the houses you see along the road are dilapidated and uninhabited.

Fang Wu explained on the side: "The Nahuo tribe has always followed the old customs to live in the Valley of Fire, but in the last hundred years, fewer and fewer babies have been born in the village, so the size of the entire group has decreased a lot. ”

Fang Ni sighed: "I only know that the birth rate of the urban population is low, and I can't imagine that it is the same in the countryside." It stands to reason that this person has nothing else to do, isn't it just to give birth to a child every day? ”

Li Sisi, who was on the side, heard Fang Ni's words, and his face suddenly turned red. Lin Xiaomeng was even more direct: "Auntie, how did they give birth to children?"

"The ......"

Fang Ni scratched her head: "It's just that when you charge the phone bill, you can charge more, and you can send a baby." ”

Lin Xiaomeng pouted dissatisfiedly: "Auntie, you are a liar!"

Fang Ni laughed twice: "If you don't believe it, if you ask your mother, she will definitely say that you sent it with a phone bill." ”

Lin Xiaomeng grimaced at Fang Ni: "Ignore you!"

After a few turns in the cracks, they finally came to a large basin with a large gray-white village in the middle of the basin, and finally they could see some people walking around the village.

"This is the heart of the Nakho village. ”

Fang Wu led the way in front: "I have visited the patriarch a few times with my master, and he lives in the largest courtyard there, so he should remember me." ”

Everyone followed Fang Wu towards the village, and most of the people in the village were indeed elderly, and there were indeed not many children, but they were all lively and active, running around and laughing.

These children were very curious when they saw outsiders coming to the village, and gathered into a group to follow Lin Yu and the others, like a group of little tails.

Li Sisi didn't know where to take out a handful of candy, turned around and handed it to the children in the back: "Eat candy." ”

The children took the candy and scattered, but soon reunited in front of Li Sisi, and stretched out their little hands to ask for more sugar.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Li Sisi's face: "I, no, it's sugar." ”

Fang Ni sighed: "Sister gives you money, you can go buy sugar yourself." ”

After speaking, Fang Ni took out his wallet, took out a handful of banknotes from it, and was about to distribute them to the children, but was stopped by Lin Yu reaching out.

"No, you can't. ”

Fang Ni was stunned: "What's the matter?"

Fang Wu was a little embarrassed: "Second Miss, there is no supermarket in this village at all, even if you have money, you can't buy anything, and you don't seem to be too ...... to give money directly."

"Ha ——!"

Suddenly, a shout sounded, like a crow howling, and the children around suddenly scattered in all directions.

Lin Yu and the others looked up and found that there was a bloated old lady standing at the intersection in front of them, this old lady had gray hair, gold and silver accessories hung everywhere on her body, and she was dressed in the traditional dress of the Nahuo clan.

Behind the old lady stood two young men, dressed in coarse cloth trousers, shirtless, with a dark knot of muscle, like steel.

These two young people are six or seven points similar in appearance, they look like they should be brothers, and the eyes of the two of them are shining, and they are both martial arts masters with great internal strength.

"That's the Patriarch's wife. ”

Fang Wu hurriedly strode forward and walked in front of the old lady, bowed down and bowed: "Fang Wu, the son of the Fang family, please say hello to the old lady." ”

The old lady dressed in gold and silver glanced at Fang Wu and nodded: "I remember you, Fang Yue brought you here last year." ”

"Yes. ”

Fang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, since the other party still remembered, it should be much easier to talk.

"May I ask where the patriarch is now, we have something to ask for this time. ”

The old lady snorted: "The old man died a few days ago. ”

Fang Wu was taken aback for a moment: "The patriarch is dead?"

It's also too unfortunate, as soon as I came, the patriarch passed away!

"When we met last year, the patriarch was still very healthy, how could this happen?"

The old lady had a calm face: "People will die when they are old, what is there to think of!"

Fang Wu was choked and speechless, and the old lady glanced at him: "What are you doing when so many of you are here?"

Only then did Fang Wu remember that he should get down to business: "We came to visit this time to borrow the earth fire in the valley to make a use. ”

The old lady glanced up at the crowd behind Fang Wu, and her gaze stayed on Lin Yu: "That man, who is it?"

Fang Wu hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Lin Yulin, he is the one who wants to borrow the earth fire this time." ”

Lin Yu stood in place and nodded at the old lady, as if he had said hello.

"This lad is good......"

The old lady was on crutches: "Much stronger than my dead old man, if I were a few years younger, I would like to keep him as the next patriarch." ”

Fang Ni was dumbfounded when she heard this: "This old lady is seventy or eighty, right, and she still wants to block the road and rob her relatives?"

Fang Wu turned his head and glanced at Fang Ni, and then said to the old lady with a smile: "Old woman, you are joking, the Fang family has a good relationship with the Nahuo clan, can you borrow the earth fire this time?"

"Earth fire is a self-generated thing of heaven and earth, it does not belong to anyone, anyone can use it, there is nothing to borrow or borrow!"

Although this old lady is a little disrespectful, she still has a set of big truths: "There will be a ceremony in the village tonight, and I will bury my old man in the valley of fire." Once the ritual is complete, you can use the Earthfire. ”

Fang Wu's face showed joy: "Thank you to the old lady for lending the earth fire, then we will wait in the village." ”

The old lady turned her head to look at the two young people behind her: "Yan, Huo, you two take the guests to the empty house in the east of the village to stay." ”

The two young men snorted, nodded with the same frequency, and then walked forward and stood on either side of Li Sisi.

"Fat Golden Girl, please come with me. ”

"No, please come with me!"

Li Sisi looked embarrassed, and looked at the two young people left and right, "Fat Jinmei, what, what do you mean?"

Fang Wu hurriedly explained: "It's the dialect of the Nahuo clan, which means a young and beautiful girl. ”

Li Sisi sighed, his face was slightly red, and he looked left and right, still not knowing which one he should go with.

These two young people are also very persistent, standing on both sides of Li Sisi and not giving in to each other, and they don't seem to want to give up the right to lead Li Sisi.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Fang Ni on the side got angry: "What's the matter with you two! Obviously there is a fat golden girl here, why didn't anyone come to show me the way?"

The two young men turned their heads to look at Fang Ni at the same time.

"You give money to children, I don't like it!"

"Fat Golden Sister gives candy to children, I like it!"

"You guys!"

Fang Ni was so angry that he couldn't do it: "Children will eat bad teeth if they eat candy!" I give them money, they can save it to buy books to study, and they can also buy toys, and cultivate a correct concept of consumption from an early age, do you understand it or not!"

The two brothers said in unison: "I don't understand." ”

Fang Ni rolled her eyes and almost lost her breath: "Anyway, it's not right to give candy to children, understand!"

The two brothers said in unison: "Understood." ”

Fang Ni snorted: "Then you say how many fat golden girls are here?"

The two brothers glanced at each other and spoke at the same time: "One, big breast." ”

"I'm mad ——!"
