The man asked the three men what they were doing in Shijia Village.
Xu Xiuwen did not elaborate, only saying that he was going to look for someone.
The man continued to ask them who they were looking for.
Xu Xiuwen glanced at the man's expression.
The latter had a simple smile on his face and looked harmless.
But Xu Xiuwen vaguely felt that he seemed to care too much.
But I didn’t think much about it.
I just thought that the people here were more enthusiastic, so I answered, "A classmate."
The man looked Xu Xiuwen up and down and asked, "Are you a college classmate? You don't look like you're from here."
Xu Xiuwen nodded.
The man didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
An hour later.
The man led the three people to a forest.
There is a lonely and quiet path leading to the depths of the unknown.
The man pointed at the path and said to the three people, "Go through this forest and you will find the village you want to go to. Go ahead, I want to go home too."
Huang Bao asked, "Brother, aren't you coming with us?"
The man said, "My home is in another village."
"Okay, thank you, brother." Huang Bao thanked.
Xu Xiuwen took out his wallet, pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, and said to the man, "Brother, thank you for bringing us here. This money is a small token of our appreciation."
Worried that the man would not accept it, Ban Chan and Huang Bao tried to persuade him.
Seeing this, the man took the money, said a few more words, then turned and left.
Xu Xiuwen and the other two turned around and looked in the direction of the woods, then walked along the path into the depths of the woods...
They went deeper and deeper, and the road became worse and worse, until it could no longer be called a road.
Ban Chan couldn't help but ask, "Boss Xu, we're not going the wrong way, are we?"
Huang Bao also asked in confusion: "Boss Xu, there is no way out here. Was that person trying to trick us?"
Xu Xiuwen also felt that something was not right.
He glanced ahead.
The forest remains deep.
It doesn't look like a village at all.
Xu Xiuwen said: "Huang Bao, go a little further and see if there is a way. If not, come back and find me."
Huang Bao did as he was told immediately.
Xu Xiuwen stood where he was, took out his cell phone and continued to contact Bai Yue'er.
Still in shutdown state.
Xu Xiuwen's mood became worse and worse.
After a while, Huang Bao came back.
"Mr. Xu, there is no road ahead. We must have taken the wrong road."
Xu Xiuwen said gloomily, "Let's go back first."
The three of them then left the forest and returned to the place where they had first separated from the man.
Xu Xiuwen looked around.
This place is very remote, there are few people and it is not convenient to ask for directions.
Helpless, I had to continue walking back along the same path I came from.
At this moment, Xu Xiuwen had already realized that the man just now had taken the wrong road.
But Xu Xiuwen was not sure whether the other party did it on purpose or the man had taken the wrong road.
It took about half an hour to walk back along the same route.
Finally I met a passerby.
Xu Xiuwen stepped forward again to ask for directions.
When the other party heard about the village they were going to, he grinned and said, "You are going in the wrong direction. You should go south. It is about six or seven miles from here."
After careful inquiry, Xu Xiuwen finally figured out the location of Shijia Village.
It turned out that the place where they got off the bus just now was heading south.
But the man led them north.
Truly poles apart.
Even though Xu Xiuwen usually had a good temper, he couldn't help but curse.
This damn guy was fooled by him.
Xu Xiuwen also gave cigarettes and money.
Thinking about it now, I’m so angry.
But the most urgent task is to find Bai Yue'er first.
He didn't have time to look for the man he had just met, and it would be difficult to find a man in such a small town.
It seems that I can only admit my bad luck.
After getting the location of Shijia Village, the three of them hurried on their way.
We met some locals along the way.
After asking for directions several times, I finally found the place.
There is only one road leading into Shijia Village.
It is also a dirt road, hidden among the trees.
However, after walking along the path for a few dozen meters, the view suddenly opened up.
From afar, I saw the outline of a village.
The location of Shijia Village is not flat, there are many low hills nearby.
The entire village is built among these low hills.
It was dusk.
The setting sun covered the entire village with a golden coat.
The scenery is beautiful.
The three of them walked along the path into the village.
After entering the village.
Xu Xiuwen wanted to find someone to ask where Bai Yue'er's home was.
But the doors of many houses in the village were closed, and not a single person was to be seen.
At this time.
Xu Xiuwen could faintly hear the sounds of gongs and drums.
Looking up, I saw a family in the distance seemed to be doing some work.
Thick smoke was floating above the house.
The sound came from there.
Xu Xiuwen suddenly had a bad feeling.
He hurried towards the house.
Come nearby.
Xu Xiuwen observed it for a moment.
This family should be a wealthy family in this village.
The house is large and has many parts, including the main house, two east and west rooms, a front hall and a front room, connected by a courtyard and a corridor in the middle.
These houses are made of red bricks, with a total area of 1,000 square meters.
Not only does it have a gate and a courtyard, but each house is taller than any other house in the village.
The yard is also several times larger than other people's yards.
At this moment, the family's yard was filled with tables and people standing in the middle.
What is certain is that the family is celebrating a wedding.
