"Children, do you often hold this kind of banquet here?" In the crowd, Chen Lei pulled a little girl and asked softly, and there were seven or eight people standing next to him, including Zhang Xuanqing, Liu Ping, and Mr. Jin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They got off the boat and converged, after all, being in an unfamiliar environment, being with familiar people will increase a little bit of security.

In addition to Zhang Xuanqing, Chen Lei, Liu Ping, and Mr. Jin, among the remaining four people, one is Chen Lei's father, Chen Chenchen, and the other is Mr. Jin's friend, Cao Meng, and the rest is a couple, Chen Chenchen's partner: the man's name is Wu Liuqi, and the woman's surname seems to be Han, and Chen Chenchen calls her Mrs. Han, which is also strange.

Now they were a little further to the left of the crowd, and the rest of the people were about the same, all of them gathered together with acquaintances to form a small circle. Then they formed a small circle one by one, and formed a large circle, which was opposed to a group of villagers led by Village Chief Jiang.

The exception is children.

The cruise banquet held by Dong Budong this time was private in nature, similar to a family banquet, so there were also guests with children.

As we all know, although children know to be afraid, they can be different from adults who are afraid. Just like now, Chen Chenchen, Mr. Jin and other adults are afraid that Village Chief Jiang will rebel and slaughter them, but the children are just a little timid and afraid of life in the face of strangers. But as soon as he was "hooked up" by the children in the village, he instantly forgot his fear, and even his parents couldn't pull it, so he ran and played with the children in the village.

They act like a neutralizer, regulating the atmosphere between the passengers and the villagers. It's just that there are fewer children on the passengers' side and more children on the villagers' side. The extra children walked into the small circle formed by the passengers one by one, and asked everyone about the outside world with innocent eyes.

The one who was "assigned" to Zhang Xuanqing was a six- or seven-year-old girl -- yes, it was assigned. If you look closely, you can find that every small group and small circle of passengers will have a child who asks this and that in the past, the uncle and aunt ask this and that, and the cute appearance makes everyone embarrassed not to answer. And answering and answering, they gradually eliminated their nervousness, fear and other emotions one by one, Zhang Xuanqing had to suspect that this was all deliberately arranged by the village chief Jiang.

Of course, the crowd is not smart, and while answering children's questions about the outside world, they also knock on the side to inquire about the situation on the island. Just like Chen Lei, after asking, she secretly glanced at Village Chief Jiang and the others in the distance, as if she was afraid that they would stop her.

However, she was too worried.

No one stopped her, and the little girl also replied very happily, blinking her big eyes, and said crisply: "No, this is the first time Wenwen has seen someone like her sister outside, and there are so many at one time." Wenwen is so happy~"

"Oh, then Wenwen told her sister, what do you usually do on the island, what do your parents do on the island, how do you know about the outside world?" Chen Lei continued to ask softly, the smile on her face was like a big bad wolf who kidnapped Little Red Riding Hood.

Wenwen picked up her fingers, and her little face wrinkled: "Ah--my sister asks so many questions, which one does Wenwen want to answer first?"

Chen Lei smiled for a moment, and then continued to pull the corners of her mouth: "Then Wenwen will talk about yourself first, what are you doing at home?"

"I'm ~ playing at home. Sometimes I go to the river with my brother to fish and catch grasshoppers in the field, anyway, it's very fun and fun - well, every few days I have to learn from my husband, and my parents said that only by learning well can we see the outside world. ”

"What about your mom and dad, what are you doing at home?"

"Mom and Dad? They don't stay home very often. When I was at home, my father carried water and watered vegetables, and my mother spun cloth to make clothes. But most of the time, they work in the fields and are not at home. ”

"Oh, then how do you know there's a world out there?"

"Of course Mom and Dad said it......"

As the two asked and answered, Zhang Xuanqing and the others had a certain understanding of the island, but more of them were still confused.

According to the little girl, every few years, a group of people come here. It's just that she hasn't seen her because of her young age, and when the last batch of people came, she was still in infancy, and everything she knew was told by her parents. When she was idle at home, her parents would tell him about the outside people, and tell her that when the outside people came, she must inquire more about the outside world, and then when she was twenty years old, she could go out. After going out, learn what you know outside, and then you can choose to stay outside or choose to come back. However, people on this island rarely choose to stay outside, and those who come from outside will stay for a few days in the "Welcome Restaurant" specially built for them at the back of the village, and then they will be arranged to go to "Yunmeng Lake".

Yunmenghu is still behind the welcome house, and the little girl doesn't know what the specific situation is. Because they have a rule in "Penglai Village", people who are under the age of 20 and have not gone out to learn knowledge must not set foot in half of Yunmeng Lake. And, according to the little girl, anyone who goes to Yunmeng Lake will not come back nine times out of ten. Even if one or two people from the village come back, they try to go again. But the village still has to continue, there is no way, only some people cannot go to Yunmeng Lake. And every once in a while, they will go out and "invite" people to come. Of course, the so-called "please" in their mouths is no different from kidnapping in the eyes of the "invited".

Ask further, the little girl doesn't know any more. only said that when they stayed in Yingkezhai, the village chief would tell them the precautions for entering Yunmeng Lake, which was something she had never heard of, and asked her parents what her parents would not say.

Zhang Xuanqing and others couldn't help but wonder after hearing this, what is it that makes so many people so "lingering"?

Before they could figure it out, the children were all called back by the villagers, and then the villagers held the roasted mutton and beef and gave it to everyone to eat.

There was even alcohol.

Because he had just been cheated by Li Xiang before, Zhang Xuanqing didn't dare to eat it, but Chen Lei and them were hungry and ate a lot, and nothing special happened.

That night, everyone was taken to what the little girl called the welcome room - a very quaint building, one room for one person, and one courtyard for ten rooms. The courtyard is simple, the room is fully clothed and bedding, and there are even traces of someone using it, it is obvious that the people of this village are not lying, and those who disappeared before have also been well entertained by them. But no one can say what will happen after that.

I'm afraid we will only know when the "Village Chief Jiang" comes over tomorrow! )
