"Little sister, are you telling the truth?"

Upon hearing the number Lin Xue mentioned, Old Zhang's mouth dropped open in shock.

It should be noted that the salary Gu Minglei promised him was only 5,000 yuan.

The young woman immediately said 100 million, which completely shattered Old Zhang's worldview.

"I never lie. You can ask them if you don't believe me!"

Lin Xue shook her head indifferently. Actually, she was also quite uncomfortable sitting in the car and didn't really want to talk.

"Old Zhang, don't worry, Miss Lin will definitely keep her word!"

At this moment, Gu Minglei confirmed Lin Xue's words.

"Okay, it's a deal then. Let's have a good chat, Brother Miao, about what's so special about your hometown!"

With the promise of money dangling in front of him, Old Zhang's enthusiasm was fully mobilized.

He loosened his grip on the seat, and his body stopped swaying as before.

It makes sense. How could a middle-aged man who rides horses all day long be so uncomfortable from such a slight bump?

So this guy's goal from the beginning was just to get more money!

Finally, Lao Zhang bypassed Lin Xue and Lei Jing, who were sitting between the two of them, and sat down next to Miao Sanbai.

The two chatted casually along the way, with Lao Zhang asking questions and Miao Sanbai recounting what he knew.

Awazhai!

Lin Xue and her group once again used the same method to find elderly people in the area and inquire about Miao Sanbai's family situation.

After careful questioning and investigation, everyone discovered that this Awa Village was not the place they were looking for either.

It's not that their place is small; you could walk out of there in a day and a night.

Instead, most of the people in this Awa village are Wa people.

Once you step outside, you'll see that 9 and a half out of 10 people have dark skin.

Looking at Miao Sanbai's fair skin, he couldn't possibly be from here.

Moreover, according to the elders of Awa Village, there are no outsiders in their town at all.

Besides the Wa people, only one other ethnic group, the Lahu, lives here.

The Lahu people also have a yellowish-black complexion. Although they are not as dark as the Wa people, it is rare to see them with fair skin like Miao Sanbai.

So, in the end, everyone decided to cross that place out.

Old Zhang also communicated with Miao Sanbai continuously.

He ultimately selected two locations as his primary targets.

Gu Minglei didn't waste any time. Since there were better options, they certainly didn't want to go looking for them one by one.

When we arrived in Shanggang Town, it was already past 7 p.m.

Having no other choice, the group had to stay at the only small hotel in Shanggang Town.

There's an internet cafe downstairs from this hotel. It's probably because there's an internet cafe in Shanggang Town that this small hotel exists.

You should know that in the village of Awa they visited before, there was no such thing as a hotel.

Gu Minglei originally said he wanted to buy some instant noodles, but Lin Xue interrupted him.

She went directly to the internet cafe downstairs and found the manager there.

The network administrator was a bald old man in his forties. Because of his baldness, he looked much older than Lao Zhang, even though they were the same age.

"Uncle, we're from out of town. We'd like to ask if you have any local delicacies that we can't find elsewhere. We're willing to pay for them!"

Lin Xue didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.

At first, the old man who was the network administrator didn't want to talk to Lin Xue.

But when Lin Xue took out 500 yuan and placed it in front of the old man, the old man immediately changed his attitude.

He bowed and scraped to Lin Xue, flattering her, and promised to prepare a sumptuous meal for them.

The old man went out for more than half an hour before knocking on the door of Lin Xue's room again.

"Sister, the food is ready. It's in the yard next door, at my older brother and sister-in-law's house. I'll take you there to eat now!"

The old man who managed the housing unit greeted Lin Xue very warmly.

"Thank you so much, Uncle. I'll call my companions right away. Please wait a moment, Uncle!"

After Lin Xue called out the people from the other rooms, the group went to the neighboring courtyard in a large group.

"Oh, welcome to Shanggang Town, guests from afar!"

"Come in quickly, the food is ready."

"The ingredients are all from our own home-raised chickens and ducks, and vegetables grown in our own fields. Please don't find them lacking!"

They were greeted by a warm-hearted woman. Her skin was a little sallow, but she was full of energy, and her house was kept very tidy.

It's so pleasing to the eye!

"Once everyone was seated at the table, Lin Xue pulled the internet cafe manager who was about to leave and invited him to eat with them!"

Then they pulled the eldest sister-in-law and her husband, a dark-skinned, honest man, to the table!

The meal was very plentiful, including braised chicken with mushrooms, chopped chicken with chili peppers, braised pork with potatoes and green beans, braised pork with konjac, and a large bowl of cold noodles.

Although there weren't many dishes, the portions were very generous. The plates at my sister-in-law's house were really big, and the bowls were also very deep.

This table of food eventually made everyone so full they were stuffed.

Old Zhang, in particular, ordered a small bottle of wine and drank to his heart's content with the internet cafe manager and the honest man from the host family.
