In fact, many people living in the mountains of western Hunan are not necessarily ethnic minorities. Apart from ethnic minorities, the lives of other people are no different from those in ordinary mountain villages.

However, one phenomenon is that ethnic minorities rarely interact with people in ordinary mountain villages. They have strong self-protection measures, which is why they are not mixed together when the local area divides villages into production teams.

However, Mu Jingheng remembered that the village where Mu Jinghuai was "rescued" was a mixed-use village. He hadn't noticed anything wrong with it in his previous life, but now, after hearing the guide's explanation, Mu Jingheng had a different idea.

Mu Jingheng felt that perhaps he and Xu Xinning could solve this mystery this time.

The place Mu Jingheng and his group were going to was called Pear Blossom Village. In his previous life, after Mu Jinghuai sacrificed himself, his family was in trouble. At that time, he was in the south, and Grandpa Jiang did not dare to tell him the truth until he completed his mission. Only then did Grandpa Jiang allow him to secretly return to the capital.

After he arrived in Kyoto, Grandpa Jiang gave him a dozen photos. These were files left by Mu Jinghuai's comrades-in-arms when they helped collect the body. The photos included the father and daughter who "saved" Mu Jinghuai.

Mu Jingheng still can't forget those two faces.

The father's clothes were no different from those of an ordinary old farmer, but the daughter was wearing ethnic minority clothing.

I heard that my father was Han Chinese and was the only teacher in the area. He came to the village right after liberation and later married a local girl. The girl died in childbirth, and he and his daughter depended on each other for survival from then on.

The girl was half from an ethnic minority, so the ethnic minorities in that village naturally considered her one of their own.

Because Pear Blossom Village is a mixed-use village, the special status of the father and daughter made them a bond of friendship between the two sides. To a certain extent, the father and daughter also held a special position in Pear Blossom Village.

Later, the military found something, but due to a lack of evidence and the special identities of the father and daughter making it difficult to obtain proof, the matter was shelved.

Mu Jingheng later sent people to investigate secretly, but those people he sent either died or went insane.

That's why Mu Jingheng was so certain that the father and daughter had ulterior motives in "saving" him, and that the problems involved might be unpredictable troubles.

Moreover, Mr. Chiang later revealed a lot of information that the troops had investigated, so it was certain that the father and daughter had problems.

After that, Old Master Jiang didn't involve him in anything. He just told him that the dead cannot be brought back to life, and that some things should be left to professionals. His main task was to revitalize the Mu family and restore peace to the Mu family.

Because of this, Mu Jingheng stopped paying attention to the matter, and all the information was conveyed through Grandpa Jiang.

Mu Jingheng was reborn, and with Xu Xinning as his cheat code, he wanted to save Mu Jinghuai while also figuring out who this father and daughter really were.

He refused to believe that someone who had died once and was sent back by the King of Hell couldn't handle these little devils.

The guide dropped people off near the village and left without looking back, saying that if they wanted to find him, they could call a nearby commune.

From now on, Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning will have to walk their own path.

The two did not rush into the village. Instead, they slipped into their spatial dimension in a secluded spot. They needed to rest well, have a good meal to replenish their energy, and then explore Pear Blossom Village at night.

The two of them ate in the space and didn't rest. The rice, wheat and other crops they planted were ready to be harvested. Xu Xinning harvested them with her mind, but Mu Jingheng was afraid she would get too tired, so he helped her with whatever he could and didn't let her use her mind.

Mu Jingheng himself doesn't have this ability; he always feels it's the same as overusing his brain.

The two worked until dark before washing up and resting. They finally entered Pear Blossom Village in the middle of the night.

To their surprise, there were people on duty in this small village at night.

This is very abnormal!

This is so abnormal!!

It's not like the bandit stronghold of the past, why would they need to keep watch? Besides, who are they guarding against?

Don't even mention preventing thieves; nobody would believe that.

Fortunately, the two of them had a cheat code, and they managed to get past it in a flash.

"Did you see anything pass by just now?" one of the guards asked.

"Are you seeing things? There's nothing there."

"No?" the man asked, scratching his head uncertainly.

"It's probably some small animal."

"Keep an eye on things, I'll go down and check," the man said, still worried.

Mu Jingheng and Xu Xinning heard their conversation clearly, and then they flashed back into the space.

Xu Xinning's mind raced, and her mischievous thoughts resurfaced. Besides, she wanted to test whether her lightness skill had improved.

She changed into ancient white underwear, let her hair down, and then cut out a piece of red paper. That was it!

Mu Jingheng was completely bewildered: "Xin'er, what are you doing?"

Xu Xinning exclaimed excitedly, "I'll dress up as a ghost and scare people!"

Mu Jingheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xu Xinning to have such a mischievous side. But since his wife wanted to play, he could only play along. These people had guns, so he couldn't be careless.

Mu Jingheng: "Are there any more of these clothes?"

Xu Xinning smiled and immediately went to her brother's room from her previous life to look for things. Before long, she brought out a bunch of things.

Xu Xinning: "Hey, this is the clothes, and this is the wig."

Mu Jingheng was amused. It seemed that his Xin'er must have been a lively person in his previous life.

Mu Jingheng took off his original night clothes and changed into the clothes Xu Xinning gave him; surprisingly, they looked quite elegant.

The two people, dressed up, looked at each other and then laughed.

It's quite amusing to have such a long piece of red paper stuck to your chin.

Then the two of them followed the person on duty who came down to check, and they flashed past him again.

Because he was wearing white, it looked really eerie under the moonlight.

The man's hair stood on end, and his scalp tingled. This was the first time he had ever been so scared that he forgot to breathe.

He rubbed his eyes hard, trying to convince himself that he was just seeing things.

Just as he regained consciousness, Mu Jingheng quickly flashed past him again, and threw a red paper at him from a short distance away.

This feel.

This man couldn't take it anymore and instinctively raised his gun, firing several shots at the spot where Mu Jingheng had just been standing.

The gunshots woke everyone in the village.

Another person came down from the guard post and rushed over. Seeing that the man was still nervously holding his gun, he immediately asked, "What's going on?"

The man's body was tense, and his forehead was covered in sweat despite the cold weather.

"There's a ghost!"

The newcomer breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Are you seeing things?"

"There really is a ghost; its tongue is dragging on the ground," the man insisted.

The person patted him on the shoulder in a comforting gesture, but the smile on his face remained, and he said, "Alright, alright, there's a ghost, there's a ghost, let's go back!"

The visitor didn't take it seriously.
