Xuan Ye seemed to have become a reassurance pill. After he said that it was all right, a group of students relaxed obviously and slumped backward on the kang making salted fish.
Starting from the school in the morning, the traffic jam in the city and the time spent on the way add up, and this meeting has just arrived at two o'clock. According to the original plan, if there is no place to live, this will be looking for a place to camp and prepare lunch. Now that there is a bed to sleep in and someone to take care of the meals, this afternoon is empty.
Da Zhuang brought a few villagers to lunch. After Xuan Ye and Qin Xi accompanied the group of students to eat, they discussed with Zhou Xiaoman to let them walk around the village temporarily in the afternoon. The rivers are all reserved for tomorrow to prepare enough energy and enough energy.
Spring planting is a busy season for farming, which is especially important for this kind of village that is mostly self-sufficient. A large piece of land from the back of the village to the foot of the mountain is all farmland divided for each family, and it is also the livelihood of these villagers. On weekdays, I even protect myself carefully, not to mention letting these students who can't help but only know how to make trouble come in and ruin it. As soon as a group of young people walked near the farmland, they were reminded by the surrounding villagers not to play in the fields, and their attitude was gentle but tough.
Fortunately, their purpose was not this. A few students took close-up photos of the busy villagers. Most of them were sitting on the ridge and chatting with the villagers.
Seven Villages is a very strange village. All the houses here, including the furnishings inside, are simple and old, clean and tidy but not rich at first sight, coupled with almost no modern facilities, making it a place to rest on its laurels. However, the villagers here are enthusiastic and not vulgar. Even these college students from the city can talk about topics, and some of them can cut in, and there is no awkward chat between the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth.
This means that the village looks closed, but the village's information and understanding of the outside world are not too far behind.
From another point of view, the reason why this village looks closed and not connected with the outside world is that it is guarding this ancient times.
There are no young men and women between the ages of 20 and 40 in the village. Except for children under the age of 10, most of them are adults in their 40s and 50s, as well as a large number of very old but very energetic old people. It is said that teenagers and young people from ten to forty years old in the village are all studying and working outside the village. Young children should stay in the village to accompany the elderly. After the age of forty, the family burden is not too heavy and there are children. Most of them will take the initiative to choose to come back to serve the elderly until they become old beings who need to be taken care of.
This mode looks like there is no problem, but it has a strange sense of ritual. Every villager who said this in small talk was an understatement. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but if you investigate it carefully, you can see that this is not a habit, but a rule.
A group of ordinary students may be vaguely groping for something, but they will not think deeply about it. After wandering around the farmland in the village for an afternoon, and after being stuffed with a lot of fruit snacks by the enthusiastic villagers, everyone returned to the residence together to recharge and prepare for tomorrow's exploration plan.
After all, the clichés in the afternoon didn't get anything at all, and they had to rely on luck to find them.
When Qin Xi was walking around with the large army, Xuan Ye stayed at the village chief's house to chat and drink tea with the other party. He has figured out all the things that these students have developed, and even added a lot of information. After welcoming the person back, Xuan Ye said goodbye to the village chief with a smile, and went back to the village chief's son's house.
Probably because he was in an unfamiliar place, Qin Xi was not as active as usual. Instead, he seemed to be a little silent. In addition, his tender face looked young, and anyone who was obedient and cute liked him. When he was in the village just now, he was stuffed with a lot of fruit. Those villagers would take the initiative to talk to him when they saw that he didn't speak. It's like facing others, enthusiasm returns to enthusiasm, but more or less with a little caution.
After entering the house, Qin Xi was still obedient, and his preoccupied appearance became more obvious.
Xuan Ye asked once but didn't get an answer, and he didn't plan to struggle with this question. He pulled someone to the kang and sat down and said, "Let's go out at night to have a look?"
Qin Xi came back to his senses and blinked at him, not understanding what he meant.
"Don't you think it's a little strange here? Let's go out secretly at night to see if we can find some answers." Xuan Ye rubbed his head and said, "Maybe we can find news about you."
Qin Xi hesitated a bit: "But... can you? People here don't want us to know too much. Wouldn't it be bad?"
Xuan Ye smiled and said: "Didn't your classmates also come to find traces of old things? These villagers know it, but they won't shut them out. It's their ability to hide it. As for us... If there is really Something or something related to you, then we found it, and it is not an offense."
Well, the big demon will not pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust with you. It is their consistent principle to do whatever you want. As a result, Qin Xi, who was not yet in his life and blindly trusted Xuan Ye, was easily persuaded...
In rural areas, people usually go to bed earlier, and the more backward they are, the earlier they go to bed. After eight o'clock, the village was completely dark, except for the sound of cicadas, birds and dogs, and there was no sound at all.
In the yard dedicated to entertaining guests, the students who slept in the two large rooms had already packed up early, and most of them had already begun to fall asleep. They are all children who have not yet matured. They say that they do not want to be controlled by adults. In fact, when someone can rely on them, they will unconsciously rely on them. After a lot of tossing during the day, a group of students are full of trust in Xuan Ye, and they are still obedient and well-behaved. It would get dark and there would be no noise outside. Xuan Ye told them to fasten the door and sleep honestly, so they all lay down and rested and did not run out.
After a tiring day, I have no energy to run around.
As soon as the student locked the door, Qin Xi left his spiritual sense, lest something really happen at night.
Xuan Ye didn't want to worry about it so much, but considering that Qin Xi would definitely be unhappy if something happened, he simply released his spiritual knowledge and fell into two rooms. As a result, when he went, he just sensed Qin Xi's spiritual consciousness, and on a whim, he hooked up and curled up at the door of the house, guarding those students who were sleepless.
Qin Xi: …
Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows, put his arms around his waist and clasped his head, locked the person in his arms like the entangled spiritual consciousness on the other side, and kissed him deadly.
After he let go of the drowsy kiss, Xuan Ye squeezed his flushed face and said with a smile, "What? I'm still shy to kiss you?"
"I'm not shy!" Qin Xiaoxi retorted confidently, although it didn't seem convincing.
"Then..." Xuan Ye suddenly put his face in front of him, almost to the tip of his nose: "Come and kiss me."
"What are you doing!" Qin Xi blushed more and more at his teasing, pushed him and widened his eyes. Qin Xiaoxi, who had never been molested before, finally experienced what it means to be shy.
Xuan Ye smiled and hugged him and lay flat: "Anyway, it's fine to be idle. What's wrong with making out? And I didn't show anyone else's face."
Qin Xi angrily said, "You even said to take me out!"
It's clearly said, but now it's not serious.
"It's not that I didn't take you there." Xuan Ye said lazily.
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Ye suddenly turned over and sat up, and looked at Qin Xi.
"It seems that our luck is really good." Xuan Ye smiled.
Qin Xi didn't react for a while, and then he noticed the movement outside, and instantly forgot the previous play between the two.
"them… "
There was a sighing sound of walking outside, but the destination was not where he and Xuan Ye were, nor the residence of those students, but it seemed to be heading towards the farmland.
Xuan Ye touched his chin and said, "What's wrong with you since you entered the village, although you can't tell, but I don't think this reaction will be one-sided... Of course, I mean if it really has anything to do with you here. ."
"What... what do you mean?" Qin Xi was a little stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
"What do you think makes you interested in this place, maybe you will make a difference here." Xuan Ye took him off the kang and said as he walked out: "No matter how you raise it, let's go and have a look. That's it."
Xuan Ye took Qin Xi to hide behind the villagers, and took a general look. Basically, the whole village was dispatched, and even the toddlers who were still babbling were wrapped in thick clothes and carried out. Looking at this posture, it doesn't seem like a small gesture.
The villagers didn't seem to be worried that someone would follow them. They walked all the way to the depths of the farmland, stopped at the foot of the mountain and opened the door in the corner, and the mountain wall instantly opened a cave with a width and height of one person.
Pulling Qin Xixuanye and rushing in in front of the village chief, he only looked around after the village chief closed the door again from the inside.
The cave is very spacious, but there is nothing but a rope tied in the middle, which seems to be a wooden board used for lifting. At this moment, the villagers all stood on the top and looked at the village chief. After the village chief also stood up, the four strong-aged men turned the handle together and slowly shook the group of villagers up.
The two didn't go to join in the fun. They jumped up into the air and floated upwards until they reached the position of the top of the mountain. One of them didn't pay attention and crashed into a thick fog.
Qin Xi: "Huh?"
Xuan Ye shook his hand and whispered, "It's a maze."
"It's not malicious, it's just used to attract people's dreams." Qin Xi tilted his head and looked around and found nothing: "It seems that he is afraid that someone will enter by mistake."
"It seems that this is the secret they have been guarding." Xuan Ye approached Qin Xi and asked, "Do you want to follow me?" It was not difficult for them to be confused.
Qin Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Come on, I feel... there is something related to me on it."
"Let's go then." Xuan Ye waved his sleeves and flew upwards again, and the thick fog disappeared everywhere he passed, and the maze hidden in the thick fog did not break away.
It's just that this movement is not small. The villagers who have reached the top of the mountain have noticed the abnormality and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of them with a little shock.

A chapter will be updated tomorrow night, and the day after tomorrow will not appear. [I'm a little busy with the things I've been applying for recently _(:з"∠)_]
