Once a person takes a rest, he will lose the motivation to keep going. It’s okay to walk slowly, but you cannot stop moving.

We usually don’t like to exercise, so we walked very slowly. It took us 4 hours to walk a 2-hour distance.

At sunset, smoke curls up over the distant village.

The Jurchen village is located in the mountains and has no other transportation except a mountain road leading down the mountain.

Some locals who had just returned from working in the fields saw so many outsiders and looked at them curiously, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes.

More and more people stopped to watch the fun, and some sticky eyes were cast at the girls in the team. Whether young or old, the men all had a lewd smile on their faces.

Tao Meimei frowned, moved to Shen Tangtang's side, and took her to hide behind other students.

The other two female students also noticed the looks from the people around them. They frowned in disgust and looked at Teacher Li for help.

Teacher Li calmed the students down, went over to greet them, and asked about the location of the village chief's house.

After a while, a big man came out from the crowd and said that his home was in the same direction as the village chief's home, and he could lead everyone there.

Some people walked towards the village chief's house in a mighty manner. The villagers who were watching the fun around were no longer in a hurry to go home for dinner, and followed them to the gate of the village chief's house.

The village chief's house is the only brick house in the village. It is easy to identify and has a large yard where seasonal vegetables are planted.

"Pah pah pah~"

"Is Village Chief Chen home? You have a distinguished guest."

The big man was banging on the gate and shouting at the entrance of the courtyard. After a while, a response came from inside and an old man walked out.

"Chen Goudan, you hit my gate so hard, if it breaks, you have to pay for it."

Village Chief Chen muttered to himself, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw so many people gathered outside his yard. He looked at Teacher Li who was standing next to Chen Goudan, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hello, Village Chief Chen! We contacted you last week and asked you to come here for a photo shoot."

Teacher Li quickly revealed his identity.

"Oh~ it's you."

Because they had contacted each other beforehand, Village Chief Chen also remembered this matter. He nodded and looked at the villagers who were still watching the show. "Still watching the show. The wives at home are waiting until the food is cold. Hurry up and go away."

After hearing what the village chief said, the surrounding villagers did not dare to stay any longer. Those who carried hoes carried hoes, and those who carried baskets carried baskets, and they left as if they were being chased by ghosts.

Soon, there were only eight teachers and students, Chen Goudan and Village Chief Chen's family left in the courtyard.

Village Chief Chen glared at Chen Goudan and said, "You should go back quickly too. It's almost dark."

Chen Goudan scratched his head, glanced shyly at a female student in the team, and carried his hoe home as the village chief's face became increasingly gloomy.

Village Chief Chen saw that everyone had left and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Teacher Li, you guys are so fast! I thought you would arrive tomorrow morning. Luckily, I went down the mountain to buy some vegetables. Come in, everyone, come in quickly. I'll have my wife prepare food for you."

"Then thank you, village chief."

Teacher Li didn't hesitate. Climbing the mountain was really tiring, and she was dragging a group of students with her. If they didn't hurry, they might not reach Xiaozhai before dark.

Except for Shen Tangtang and the other two players, everyone else had a relaxed smile on their faces.

The journey was so tiring that they didn't want to think about anything else now.

Although the Jurchen village is remote, it has electricity.

The village chief led them into the house, where they saw bright lights. An elderly woman saw them, placed her child in the crib, and walked over in surprise, "Old Chen, what's this?"

"I contacted my school teachers a few days ago. They are coming here to sketch for a few days. Go inside and call my daughter-in-law to prepare some food."

Village chief Chen took out his pipe from the corner, lit it on the fire, and took several deep puffs without avoiding the crowd.

The students looked disgusted, but didn't dare to say anything. This village was full of strangeness. Even the village chief in front of them, except for greeting them at first and looking at normal people, had a different atmosphere as soon as he entered the house.

Teacher Li didn't quite understand what Village Chief Chen was thinking. Instead, the old woman took out benches for everyone to sit down and rest.

Shen Tangtang glanced at the time displayed on the bracelet, and before she knew it, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

This place is not like Blue Star. It is completely dark here at 7 o'clock. The surroundings are extremely quiet after nightfall. The only sounds are the crackling of burning firewood in the fire and the sound of Village Chief Chen smoking his pipe.

Village chief Chen's wife and daughter-in-law prepared dinner for everyone. There was not much oil or water. Apart from a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with mushrooms and a dish of fried insects, there were no main dishes, only green vegetables.

Shen Tangtang was just pretending to eat and didn't put the food into her mouth. She put it into her mouth and then stored it into the system space. She saw out of the corner of her eye that the two players were also very vigilant and did not really eat the host's food.

It’s not that the players dislike anything. They are new here and have experienced many dungeons like this. They have suffered losses and have learned from their mistakes. Naturally, they will be more careful.

The team was divided into two rooms to rest at night, with five girls in one room and two boys in another.

Those girls who couldn't sleep in the room had to sleep on the floor, covered with moldy and damp quilts. Everyone complained quietly, and Teacher Li felt sorry for the 30,000 yuan he had spent.

The rustling noises continued until the second half of the night, and finally we were too tired to bear it anymore and fell asleep.

In the darkness, Shen Tangtang listened to the sound of reptiles crawling outside the house. There was a sticky touch in the sound, as if it was looking at its prey outside the girl's sleeping room.

The night passed peacefully. I thought something would happen, but it didn't.

The next morning.

Shen Tangtang walked out of the house and went outside to wash and brush her teeth.

At this time, several other girls also came out of the house, each with huge panda eyes, yawning continuously, and their faces looked like they had been dead for three days and had not been buried.

"Tangtang, what are you looking at?"

Tao Meimei, who came out to wash up, yawned several times and looked at her friend who was standing motionless in front of the well.

"without."

Shen Tangtang shook her head. She didn’t notice anything last night. The situation of these girls was probably just that they didn’t get enough sleep.

Breakfast was also prepared by the village chief's wife and daughter-in-law. For so long, this family has only seen the village chief, his wife, daughter-in-law and grandson, but not the village chief's son.

Although the Jurchen village is a matriarchal tribe, the status of women here is lower than that of men.

After observing for a night, Teacher Li seemed to realize that there was false advertising on the Internet, but since he was already here, it would be a bit inappropriate to leave now.
