"Thirty years ago? Or twenty-five years?" Luo Peng thought for a while, then frowned, "I don't really remember. Anyway, the place where the ancestors slept is just behind this village, and it takes a few hills to reach it."
"Let's go." Tian Miao carried the bag and took the lead.
"Yeah, let's go, or it will be dark for a while. Find a family to live in tonight, let's go there tomorrow morning." Wu Yihao said, he was more active than Liang Bing.
The winding dirt road can only accommodate two people walking side by side.
Before dark, they saw a village.
At this time, there was little smoke from the cooking, and every household was cooking.
Miao and the others had just entered the village that day, when an old man at the entrance of the village stopped them.
"Where did you come from?" The old man grinned and looked at Cui Wenyan and his group with bad eyes, looked at them from head to toe, and said coldly, "We don't welcome outsiders here. You all leave here immediately."
"Master, we're here to explore. Stay here for one night and leave tomorrow. It's dark now, and we have nowhere to go." Wu Yihao stepped forward and explained.
"I don't care what you do, there's nowhere to go? Go back the same way." The uncle said angrily, "I said, we don't welcome outsiders here, don't you understand?"
"We'll borrow for one night, and we'll pay. We came by car. If we go back the same way, there's no car. We can't walk to the town at night." Wu Yihao explained patiently.
"Hurry up, hurry up. I'm really full, so I ran to such a backcountry to explore what kind of adventure, you are sick!" The uncle didn't listen to Wu Yihao's explanation at all, and he stretched out his hand to chase people away.
"Master, why are you doing this?" Cui Wenyan and the others took a few steps back, suddenly remembering what the driver said before. How can this uncle be so unreasonable
"Hey, old man Wu, what are you doing? There are a group of people and you are driving them away. If you encounter wolves, bears, etc. along the way, it is very dangerous." At this time, a couple saw them , came forward to hold the uncle, and then said to Cui Wenyan and the others with a smile, "Don't mind, old man Wu has such a bad temper and doesn't want to see outsiders come to our village."
"Are you going to stay at our house? Change the clean sheets and quilts for you all. Although they are not new, they must be clean. I only washed them yesterday. It's so late, so I haven't eaten yet. I'll bake the wild vegetable cakes for you. The people in the city will definitely like it, the original taste." The wife of the couple, who also seemed to be in her fifties, was very enthusiastic, and the conversation continued, "However, the price may be a little higher than that..."
"Okay. There are six of us. We will stay for one night, plus the meals for tonight and tomorrow morning. How much can you say?" Cui Wenyan said.
"One hundred for one person, six hundred in total." The woman rubbed her hands happily.
"Let's go then." Wu Yihao carried his bag and touched his stomach. To be honest, he was already hungry.
The woman and her man happily led the way, looking back from time to time to see if they were following.
The old man Wu stood there, watching the backs of Cui Wenyan and his party, and did not move for a long time.
Tian Miao looked up at the sky above the village, and there was a black gas that was invisible to mortals.
She pressed the brim of her hat and followed behind Cui Wenyan and the others.
