There are many ghosts on the road of alms

With the undercurrent of N city surging and the crisis hidden, the herbal gathering team finally arrived at the boundary of Shennongjia.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and undulating, and the thick but not scattered clouds and mists are scattered among them.A lush forest appeared in front of everyone, forming a natural barrier on the way to Shennongjia, as if to warn everyone not to enter from here, lest there be a catastrophe.

"Sun Yu, are you sure you want to go in from here?" Looking at the deep and dense forest, Chu Liu doubted whether there was a way ahead.

"It should be here." Sun Yu touched the unclear scratches, and broke off the branches in front of him, "My second uncle once walked here, although the traces are about to disappear, the signs drawn are correct. If my second uncle is right, Wu Village should be in front of us."

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Liu Qinyan saw that Liu Qinyan was following Sun Yu into the woods, so she had to hug the rabbit from the disciples of the Zuo family and followed.

There was a silence in the mountain forest, it could even be said to be eerily quiet.The footsteps of their group were amplified, as if someone was following them, walking with them, their bodies froze with tension.

"Hey, let me tell you!"

Snapped!

On the sixth day of the sixth day, the subconscious reaction was extremely quick. He picked up the begging bowl and knocked on the rabbit's head, and said: "What are you doing so loudly! You scared us." In a very quiet situation, the rabbit suddenly let out a loud voice. , let them take out their weapons in a few moments, and the five disciples in the back even pulled a branch at random, wanting to use it for self-defense.

"It doesn't matter that the atmosphere is too tense for you." The rabbit smiled flatteringly, not daring to show anger at all, whoever let Chu Liu hold a guy in his hand couldn't beat him.

"I just wanted to say that this is the edge of Shennongjia, and there will be no danger, so go boldly." Rabbit rubbed his head and said:

"Have you been here before? Don't you know Shennongjia?"

Hearing the more unfriendly tone of the sixth day, Rabbit had no choice but to make a self-criticism and said: "I had some amnesia before, your lord let me go a lot, and stop discussing those old things, do you think it is okay?" The rabbit's confession and cuteness won Liu Qinyan's favor again, and she was rescued from Chu Liu's arms.

"It's getting late, let's go and see if we can spend the night in the village."

As soon as Liu Qinyan's words came out, Chu Liu naturally would not refute, and could only raise his fist to signal the rabbit not to move around in Liu Qinyan's arms.

With Sun Yu clearing the road ahead, they walked out of the woods smoothly and saw the Wu village that had been mentioned all the time.

Wu Village is located under the cliff, and four rows of three rows of houses are neatly built. The four rows of houses are separated near the entrance of the cliff. There are six households on the west side and six households on the east side, exactly twelve households.Among them, the one near the cliff is a bit special, taller than the other houses, and brightly colored.

At this time, everyone caught up with the dinner time, three or two children in the village were running back and forth playing games, and the women were sitting at the door of the room chatting and choosing vegetables.A few people walked out of the woods on the sixth day of the lunar new year. When they first saw this scene, they thought they had come to the Peach Blossom Spring.

At this time, the villagers also saw the Chuli people. The children ran back to the house, and the women got up quickly with horror on their faces, and ran back to the house.

Sun Yu stepped forward: "We are not bad people, don't be afraid."

It's okay not to say this, but once the doors of the village were closed, only a few big men came up to him with hoes.

Sun Yu looked at Chu Liu and Liu Qinyan looking at him speechlessly, and scratched his head in embarrassment, he didn't expect such a situation.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" One of the big men held his hoe tightly, his face full of vigilance.

"We're here..." As soon as Sun Yu opened his mouth, Chu Liu stopped him, "We're passing by. It's getting dark here, so I want to stay overnight."

Several big men looked at each other, not sure whether to let him go or not.

"Ahem." An old man appeared from behind the big men.

Several big men turned sideways to make way for the old man, "Village chief."

The old man, known as the village chief, looks kind and behaves politely, making Chu Liu feel as if he saw a declining nobleman, "You just want to stay for one night, right?"

"Um, yes." Hearing the old man's thick dialect accent, Chu Liu couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Liu Qinyan patted her that he realized, "I wonder if the old man can help me?"

"Convenient is convenient, but if you want to enter Shennongjia, it's better not to have this idea."

The old village chief's wise and transparent eyes seemed to have seen through the minds of several people.Chu Liu was shocked, and respectfully bowed his hands to the old man and said, "We are just staying here tonight, so please be accommodating."

Hearing this, the old village head laughed, "You little boy is from the Buddhist family, you know that Ji Feng must be right." After the words fell, the old village head glanced at the rabbit, and put Smile and turn away.

Knowing that the old village chief agreed, Chu Liu raised the corners of his mouth and followed, but was stopped by the men within two steps.

"Let them in, they're just staying here tonight." The village chief turned around and said.

"But……"

"it does not matter."

Seeing what the village chief said, the big men hesitated for a while, and finally raised their hoes to let Chu Liu and the others pass.

"It seems that the village chief has a high status in the village." Liu Qinyan walked to Chu Liu's side and said in a deep voice.

Chu Liu agreed and nodded lightly, "This village chief is not an ordinary person, and his knowledge and behavior are all extraordinary. I'm afraid we need to pay attention." She just said that tonight is just for accommodation, but in fact she doesn't want to leave any talk, after all I plan to enter Shennongjia from here tomorrow morning.

And the village head is also very interesting, he also agreed to stay here tonight, but he didn't talk about tomorrow's affairs, I'm afraid there will be trouble entering Shennongjia tomorrow.

"Whatever, if it doesn't work, let my disciples go back to the car and wait. Let's rush in tomorrow morning. Anyway, there are only three of us, so it's not easy to be found."

"You think that old man is stupid. If you dare to let you live, you can guarantee that you will not be able to get in." Just now when the old man glanced at him, the rabbit felt as if he had been seen through, and his hairs stood on end.

Liu Qinyan touched the rabbit, looked at Chu Liu and Sun Yu and said, "Let's go in first and see the situation tomorrow."

Several people followed behind the village chief and walked into the village.

Along the way, every household quietly opened a crack in the door and secretly looked at a few people. After seeing Chu Liu they walked towards the house inside, they would open the door and poke their heads out, curious but afraid to go in. forward.

The clothes on each of them are relatively simple, and some have been patched, but they are better than neatness.Not only the eyes of the children but also the adults are clean and clear, without any dirty desires in their hearts, this is very familiar to Liu Qinyan, as if seeing the sixth day who just came down the mountain.

"People here are very simple-minded."

"En, yes, but it doesn't feel normal." Sun Yu agrees with Liu Qinyan's statement, but always feels that something is not right.

"It's simply too much." Chu Liu murmured.

Liu Qinyan and Sun Yu looked at each other the same way, and felt that it was true.These people seem to interpret what is meant by good nature. They are born kind and have no desires or desires. But according to this way of thinking, the villagers should not be afraid.

The village chief seemed to be aware of the thoughts of the few people, stopped and said: "The village has always been isolated from the world, so it is very simple and simple. The reason why I dare not approach you is because I was frightened before." Speaking of this, the village head also looked at Sun Yu.

"What frightened you?" Chu Liu asked.

The village head pointed to the entrance under the cliff, then pointed to Sun Yu, and said: "A few years ago, it should be the kid's relatives who came out from there, covered in blood, and the villagers kindly treated him, but he was beaten. "

Hearing this, the corner of Sun Yu's mouth twitched, that person must be none other than his second uncle.

Chu Liu also guessed this point, secretly thinking that his second uncle deserved to be his second uncle, and he would do it when he said he would do it, but he still had to be concerned: "Then how are the villagers? Are you injured?"

The village chief stroked his beard and said very naturally: "The villagers are... well, anyway, those who went to the forest to stop you today were all beaten."

Hearing this, Chu Liu really couldn't continue talking, and covered his face with his hands, feeling a little ashamed of these simple villagers.If they think about it differently and let them meet strangers again, they might go up and fight without saying a word, so they won't be as gentle as the villagers are to them.

And Sun Yu also understood, and hurriedly apologized to the village chief on behalf of his second uncle, and discussed with Chu Liu and the others to take out some food and apologize to the villagers.

"No rush, no hurry, let's talk about it after taking you to the place where you live." The village chief was very satisfied to see that the attitude of several people was good.

Since there are both men and women in Chuliu's party, the village chief chose a two-bedroom house on purpose.

The house is very clean, and it can be seen that it is cleaned frequently at first glance, and the daily necessities are complete, all of which are new. If the village head hadn't said that his son had vacated the house for them to live in, they would have suspected that the village head had been waiting for a long time.

"It's really troublesome for the village chief."

The village chief waved his hand, "You are welcome, it is fate to come to the village, it happens to be dinner time, why not come to my place for dinner, it happens to be next door to you."

Chu Liu felt that it was better to eat hot food if there was hot food, so she asked Liu Qinyan to put the rabbit on the bed, and went to eat with her and Sun Yu.

"My friends, since he also wants to go, why not take him with you, isn't it a rabbit?"

The village chief's meaningful words made the three of Chu Liu look at each other.
