Chapter 329 Weird Empty Village
Under Xu Chunru's organization, they quickly got together.

Du Yifeng cast a questioning look at Jiang Yue.

"I didn't say anything, let's go."

The situation is obvious, and the bus must not be counted on.Although Jiang Yue had great strength, he didn't intend to carry the bus.

Besides, this is not a shallow pit on flat ground, and there is no foothold at all.The smallest drop of the slope was several meters, and the largest drop was more than ten meters. In this situation, it was impossible for Jiang Yue to stand out.

Besides, he didn't want to show off this kind of limelight and attract other people's attention for nothing.

Jiang Yue would definitely not do such a thankless thing that might incite hatred.

Isn't it just legs?

The twenty or thirty kilometers of mountain roads are all awakened people, can't they still walk this little road?
Zhang Jiye couldn't help complaining again: "This road won't work, so we can't change another road! Roads are dead, but people are alive!"

Jiang Yuequan pretended not to hear such mentally retarded complaints.

Go forward to check the terrain on your own.

The area of ​​this landslide is not small, and it is definitely impossible to cross it.

Even if it is barely passable from the slope below, a road must be opened first.

The downhill was overgrown with weeds, and there was obviously no road in itself.Moreover, the slope is extremely steep, and it is very likely to roll down if you are not careful.

Although the bottom here is not a cliff, but if you really want to fall, injury is inevitable.

Jiang Yue held a multifunctional engineering shovel and opened the way ahead.

This engineer shovel is made of excellent materials, coupled with its high level of military industry, it has a wide range of uses. Actions like this are indeed much more practical than carrying one or two weapons.

Weeds were removed along the way, and a narrow path that could accommodate one person was slowly cleared. Although it was inclined and difficult to walk, it was finally passable.

Back in the crowd, Zhang Jiye was still chattering and changing equipment unhurriedly.

Even Xu Chunru couldn't stand it anymore.

"Zhang Jiye, why are you babbling? Either hurry up, or you can go back with the bus. Don't think that anyone is obliged to listen to your nonsense and waste time with you."

Everyone else has almost changed into military boots and is fully armed.

Only Zhang Jiye was still carefully taking off his pair of limited edition luxury brand sneakers.

"I'm not wrong, can't we go another way? I don't believe it, this is the only way to go to the ecological park?"

Xu Chunru got angry and said, "Are you a pig-head? Don't you know the driver of the bus? People choose to take this road because they think this road is the most convenient and most likely to pass. If you can’t get through, the other roads must be in worse condition. Besides, do you think you can make detours if you want? This is already a mountainous area, and it may take tens of kilometers to go around. Think about it. How long have you walked all the way for tens of kilometers?”

If it is a sunny era with smooth roads, dozens of kilometers will be fine.

The problem now is that if you go another way, there must be potholes and obstacles everywhere, and the situation may be worse than this.

At that time, I changed to a more difficult road, and it may be dozens of kilometers away from the destination when it gets dark.

At that time, there was no village in the front and no store in the back. Could it be that they spent the night in the wilderness?

The point is, the task requires them to arrive before seven o'clock.

There are still three or four hours before seven o'clock, and walking more than 20 kilometers is a task that can be completed.

But if he took a detour and stopped halfway for another two hours, it would be absolutely impossible to arrive before seven o'clock.

"Jiye, don't keep nagging, hurry up. If you really complain all the way, I advise you to go back with the bus. This is a superhuman certification task, not sightseeing."

Even an exquisite egoist like Du Yifeng spoke up, which shows how dissatisfied he is with Zhang Jiye's behavior.

Jiang Yue has always regarded himself as a tool, and he will not get involved in the affairs between the five of them.

But he took a look, and among the more than 80 contestants, there were not a few masters like Zhang Jiye.Many people complained and changed their equipment reluctantly.

It can be seen how passive their mentality was in advance.

Of course, there is no shortage of positive attitudes. Many people have already walked along the trail opened by Jiang Yue and crossed this landslide area.

Of course, walking behind also has the advantages of walking behind, at least the road is smooth, and those who walk in front have already cleared the way.

In this way, the team of more than 80 people gradually lost touch.

Jiang Yue and his group, including Han Jingjing, a total of seven people are naturally going the same way.

Under Xu Chunru's continuous beating, although Zhang Jiye was reluctant, he did not dare to slack off, and the speed of his feet was not slow enough to hinder him.

It's not that Xu Chunru has much prestige in his heart, but he is still afraid of death after all.

If you don't arrive at your destination before dark, in the wilderness, your life will not be guaranteed.

The mountain road is not easy to walk.

There hasn't been much rain recently, and the roads are not muddy.But along the way, there were rocks and landslides from time to time, so they had to make a detour.

These falling rocks were obviously not mudslide disasters caused by rainwater. Jiang Yue estimated that they should be caused by earthquakes that lasted for several days.

Whenever such falling rocks blocked the way, they had to take a detour.

After a few hours, the team has advanced six or seven kilometers.

If things go on like this, many people have begun to doubt whether they can arrive smoothly before seven o'clock.

Fortunately, at this time, the road sign showed that there was a village ahead.

The road leading to the village gradually became wider.Everyone quickened their pace and soon arrived at this mountain village called Maxi Village.

Maxi Village is supposed to be a good place, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

There is a big stream in the south, backed by a mountain. The mountain is a continuous mountain range, shaped like a galloping horse, hence the name Pegasus Mountains.

There are two old camphor trees at the entrance of the village, guarding the ancient village just like door gods.

At the entrance of the village, there was a fork in the road.

One opening leads to the big stream ahead, and the other leads to the village.

The two roads are not spacious, and can accommodate at most one car in and out. It is almost impossible to meet, so we can only use the yard of the farmhouse beside the road.

"Jiang Yue, shall we enter the village?" Du Yifeng walked up to Jiang Yue and asked after discussing it.

Jiang Yue hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Jiye sneered and said, "Yifeng, aren't you talking nonsense? To go to the ecological park, you have to pass through this village. If you don't enter the village, why don't you fly over?"

That being said, Du Yifeng still felt that he needed to listen to Jiang Yue's opinion.

Han Jingjing on the side suddenly said: "Why do I think this village is a bit weird?"

"How weird?" Du Yifeng asked curiously.

"Don't you think this village is too quiet?" Han Jingjing asked back.

"Quiet?" The others looked at each other.

With so many people pouring into the village, how can the village be quiet?Obviously very noisy.

This Miss Han should pretend to be surprising, she can't be a big idiot, right?
That Zhang Jiye deliberately held back his smile, with an exaggerated expression on his face, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was holding back his smile.

If he laughed, it might not be so hateful.

This kind of Pili Yangqiu's strange appearance made people feel full of malice.

Han Jingjing was not used to Zhang Jiye's stink, so she glared at him unceremoniously.

Jiang Yue suddenly said quietly: "This may really be an empty village."

"Empty village?"

From a distance, the village is not that big, but there are at least dozens of households. Some of the houses look relatively new, so it shouldn't be the kind of abandoned old village.

How could a village of this size be an empty village?
As if eager to slap Jiang Yue in the face, Zhang Jiye said strangely, "If it's empty, you'll know if you go in and have a look! We're wasting time here, and the people in front might have rested in the village."

This time, he was more enthusiastic than ever, taking the lead in the front row.

"Go, go in and have a look." Du Yifeng also greeted Xie Feng, Yu Siyuan and others.

Xu Chunru deliberately stayed behind, walked up to Jiang Yue and muttered, "Don't be as knowledgeable as Zhang Jiye, this guy is spoiled by his family, he doesn't know what to say."

Jiang Yue smiled: "Sister Ru, don't worry, you will treat me as a tool person this time."

Xu Chunru glanced at Jiang Yue meaningfully, sighed, and didn't say anything more.

As soon as they entered the village, the village road was already full of people standing on both sides.

"There is no one in the village!"

"Strange, where have all the people in this village gone?"

"A lot of people's doors are open? Where can they go?"

"There must be people living in this village. You can see that under the eaves, there are clothes drying, or hanging salted fish and meat, and all kinds of dry goods."

Anyone with a little brain can tell whether there are people living in a village.

When Jiang Yue and the others approached, Du Yifeng had already wandered around the village for half a circle.

"Jiang Yue, you guessed it right, this is really an empty village. However, where should the people here go to avoid disasters? I haven't seen a single living person."

"I don't see any cattle, sheep, pigs or dogs, not even a chicken or a duck."

"If you say they are evacuating, why are the doors of many people's homes open? Even if you go out to evacuate, you should lock the door, right?"

Jiang Yue didn't answer, but walked into a house with an open door.

After walking through several houses like this, Jiang Yue's face became extremely solemn.

As Du Yifeng said, if you really want to go out, why don't you even lock the door?
What surprised Jiang Yue even more was that these people had all their clothes and food at home, which was not what they should look like when they went out.

In other words, apart from living things, these people's homes have not been touched.

Many of these contestants are from the city, and they don't know much about the daily life of the people in the mountain village, but Jiang Yue knows that the people in the mountain village attach great importance to food beyond imagination.

If you really want to go out, you will never leave the food at home like this!
Something must have happened to this mountain village.

"Did you find anything?" Xu Chunru asked with concern.

Zhang Jiye curled his lips: "Isn't that the case! Sister Ru, almost everyone has already left. Do we still have to pretend to be detectives here?"

As Zhang Jiye said, although the other contestants were puzzled by the empty village, most of them felt that the matter had nothing to do with them and continued on their way without staying too long.

According to the road signs, pass through this village and continue walking along the mountain road, turn around a few hills, and you will almost arrive at the ecological park.

Jiang Yue and the others were the last to enter the village, so they checked around again. After some delay, they became the last group of people.

Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

At this speed, if there are more obstacles in the way ahead, whether we can make it to [-] o'clock will really be a question mark.

Seeing that Jiang Yue was still thinking about something, everyone couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Xu Chunru persuaded: "Jiang Yue, what are you thinking about? You don't want to meddle in the business here, do you?"

"Cut, don't look at the time, please don't waste everyone's time?" Zhang Jiye said in a strange voice.

Jiang Yue didn't even bother to talk to Zhang Jiye, and just treated him like air.

"Sister Ru, I have an idea, maybe we can get there faster."

"Oh?" Xu Chunru's eyes lit up.

"I saw that many people here have bamboo rafts. According to the estimation of the terrain, the Daxi in the south of Maxi Village can go all the way to the vicinity of the ecological park. I remember seeing the planning map of the ecological park. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It should be this big stream."

"That's right, that's right!" Han Jingjing suddenly thought of something, "I remember someone told me two years ago that I went to the Ecological Park, and I went there by boat and by water."

The person who told her about this was actually her best friend Yang Xiaoxiao back then.Because Yang Xiaoxiao's family changed families and married a political enemy of the Han family, the relationship between the two was estranged, so Han Jingjing didn't want to mention her name.

"You mean, do we also go by water?" Xu Chunru looked at Jiang Yue.

"Before it's dark, it may take less than an hour to walk by water. Of course, I'm just making a suggestion. The five of you will discuss how to decide."

Jiang Yue left the decision-making power to the other party, and consciously positioned himself as a tool man.

"I agree." Xu Chunru was the first to express his opinion.

"I agree too." Du Yifeng followed up.

Xie Feng and Zhang Jiye looked at each other, and it could be seen that they wanted to play against each other.

The gentle Yu Siyuan suggested: "We can go to the side of the big stream to investigate. If the water flow is stable and saves time, why don't we take the waterway?"

When everyone came to the edge of the big stream, the water flow was generally stable, and the stream was so clear that they could even see the sand and rocks underneath.

The depth is also just right, which can make the bamboo rafts float without drowning people.

So it was an easy choice.

"Come on, let's drag the bamboo rafts. We have a lot of people, so we may need two."

Originally, this kind of thing was naturally the work of gay men, but Zhang Jiye and Xie Feng were obviously hands-off shopkeepers, and these two masters would definitely not do it.

It had to be Jiang Yue and Du Yifeng.

Du Yifeng quickly dragged a pair of bamboo rafts to the shore, but Jiang Yue was several minutes late.

He was dragging the bamboo raft in one hand, and in the other hand was holding a large sack. He didn't know what was in it. Judging by the weight he was carrying, it looked quite heavy.

Seven people, two sets of bamboo rafts, naturally have to ride separately.

Han Jingjing definitely wants to be with Jiang Yue, Xu Chunru didn't say it clearly, but her body movements have already shown her attitude, she also wants to share the same bamboo raft with Jiang Yue.

Du Yifeng smiled bitterly: "Well, it seems that I have to be a boatman again. Siyuan, are you going to sit on my side, or follow Sister Ru and the others?"

Yu Siyuan thought about it, and after seeing the sad eyes of Zhang Jiye and Xie Feng, she decided: "I'll go with you in the same boat. Sister Ru and the others have an extra sack, which looks quite heavy."

This reason is well found, there is no distinction between closeness and closeness, so naturally neither side will offend.
