Chapter 307 The Mysterious Village
Shen Qingran didn't care about this little episode.
After buying things with Xiao Wei, we prepared to go back.
After returning to the small courtyard, Shen Qingran prepared to cook something and also prepared some things for going to the border forest.
Xiao Wei said that the news about Ye Xia he got before came from there.
It is said that there is a small village where ethnic minorities live. It is not easy to get there. The village is relatively closed and may be a bit xenophobic.
Xiao Wei got the opportunity to stay there for a few days only through his acquaintances.
A large part of the ingredients we bought today are traditional delicacies of the people there.
If you visit, giving local villagers such delicacies as a gift may help them get more information there.
Shen Qingran was packing up the ingredients, preparing to study them carefully in the afternoon.
Fortunately, this thing is not very complicated, and Shen Qingran prepared it in no time.
Early the next morning.
The three of them took their simple luggage and got on the ox cart with Xiao Wei.
As we walked out of the city, the population gradually became sparse.
Looking around, there are only trees.
The air is filled with the smell of grass and trees.
"Sister, the mountain behind this village is another country, you have to be careful."
Along the way, Xiao Wei reiterated some of the taboos of this village.
What is not allowed is to insult their village gods.
You cannot kill any living thing in their villages.
A lot of things were said in general.
Shen Qingran wrote them all down in his heart.
After walking for a whole morning, we finally arrived when the sun was almost overhead.
"Sister, we are here, wait a minute, I will go take a look."
Xiao Wei jumped out of the car and walked towards the entrance of the village.
After a while, a young man ran out.
They were chatting about something.
After saying this, Xiao Wei came back.
"Mu Tou said we were living in his grandma's old house. It was a bit old, but he had renovated it two days ago."
"Okay, no problem."
Under the leadership of the young man, Shen Qingran and three others entered the village.
Sure enough, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many villagers followed the young man and talked.
Xiao Wei translated quietly, "Mu Tou said that you are her grandma's relatives, and this time you are here to pay respect to her."
"Mu Tou's grandma used to be the village chief, so she has a very high status."
Shen Qingran suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the way those people looked at them changed from being wary at first to smiling. So this was the reason.
"In the village, everyone respects the village chief, so the village chief's relatives will also be respected. As long as nothing serious happens during our few days here, nothing will go wrong."
Shen Qingran and Ye Chun looked at each other. The more such a village it is, the more difficult it would be to find out anything.
Because in such a village, the villagers are very united and basically will not tell others secrets.
But since they were already here, Shen Qingran and Ye Chun naturally didn't want to return empty-handed.
Thinking about this, he arrived in front of a bamboo house.
“This is it.”
Xiao Wei talked to the young man for a while before saying goodbye to him.
"Mu Tou said that he would send some food and daily necessities over later so that we can rest more."
Shen Qingran and Ye Chun stood in front of the door of the bamboo house and looked at the surrounding buildings, all of which were bamboo buildings.
Because the weather is hot, there are a lot of mosquitoes.
Shen Qingran took out three sachets from his pocket.
"It can repel insects and snakes."
"I knew you were well prepared."
The corners of Shen Qingran's mouth twitched. She didn't want a snake to slide up from her feet while she was sleeping soundly.
"Ye Chun, Xiao Wei, take this too and sprinkle it around the bamboo building, and no mosquitoes, insects, rats or ants will come near."
"real?"
Xiao Wei was obedient and just took the medicine bag and scattered it around the bamboo building.
Some villagers stared at him curiously, thinking he was performing some kind of witchcraft.
Xiao Wei quickly started to explain.
The other party laughed at Xiao Wei's behavior. You know, there are a lot of mosquitoes, rats and ants in their village.
Their ancestors have been trying to find a solution, but none of them have been able to completely solve it.
Just sprinkle some random things on this little tender skin.
Some villagers just watched the joke.
Xiao Wei doesn't care about that.
After spreading the powder, "Sister Qingran, they laughed at us and said they didn't believe us."
Shen Qingran smiled and said, "Then wait until it works and blind their eyes."
Not to mention the medicine powder I prepared myself, even the most powerful mosquitoes, rats and ants would have to take a detour when they came.
However, Shen Qingran did think of something. If her powder could help them solve the problems of mosquitoes, rats and ants, would they have a chance to ask some questions?
Ye Chun obviously thought of it too.
"Qingran, do you have a lot of this stuff?"
Shen Qingran shook his head. "But as long as there are medicinal herbs, I can make it anytime."
Ye Chun's eyes lit up.
Then he pulled Xiao Wei aside and whispered a few words.
Xiao Wei nodded repeatedly, "Sister, don't worry, I promise to do everything for you."
Watching Xiao Wei go out, Ye Chun walked around and said, you know what, there really are no snakes, insects, rats or ants.
After a long time, Xiao Wei came back with a pile of things in his hands.
There were several bites on my legs and face.
"Xiao Wei, didn't you bring a medicine bag?"
Xiao Wei smiled innocently, "I gave it to Mu Tou. I made a bet with him. If he doesn't get bitten tonight, our business will be much easier later."
Ye Chun smiled and patted his shoulder, "Good job, kid."
"Come, I'll apply the medicine for you."
Xiao Wei's face turned red again, even the roots of his ears were red.
Shen Qingran looked at Ye Chun who was still unaware.
I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, what a big piece of wood.
I don’t know whether Xiao Wei’s wish will come true.
For the time being, she has no intention of exposing this matter. After all, Ye Chun's mind is full of Ye Xia's affairs.
After applying the medicine, I spoke up, "Xiao Wei, your previous investigation said that Ye Xia had appeared in this village. Do you know which family he was from?"
Xiao Wei lowered his voice and said, "Sister, this person is the village doctor, and his status is not low. If we ask him directly, it may be a bit difficult. I have already asked Mu Mu, if our thing can work."
"I guess that person came back to find us."
Ye Chun's eyes were deep, "Will it be dangerous for us?"
Xiao Wei shook his head. "I heard from Mu Tou that it was an old man, and it is forbidden to kill people in this village. It is said that if they kill people, their gods will punish them."
If there were such beliefs and rules, Shen Qingran would feel a little relieved.
A nation will never easily betray its beliefs and the gods in its hearts.
On the first night in the village, Shen Qingran lay on the mat on the ground, feeling a little dazed. She was wondering where Huo Tingxiao was.
