There was a lot of noise coming from the open courtyard, and the roar of the off-road vehicle was equally loud, which the people in the house could also hear.
So after a while, several men holding axes and sickles as weapons came out of the courtyard, led by a middle-aged man with dark skin.
They stood in front of the yard, staring at the SUV with vigilance.
One of them held an axe in his hand and said sternly, "Who are in the car? Get out!"
These people spoke with local accents, and Lu Ziyun and Huo Shen got out of the car to negotiate.
Huo Shen said, "We came from Gu County and were entrusted by someone to go to the Miao village in the mountains, so we came to Shuangyu Town to prepare to go up the mountain. We had no ill intentions."
"Are you going up the mountain to the Miao village?" The middle-aged man in the lead looked at Huo Shen and Lu Ziyun suspiciously, and was skeptical about their words. "Or are you commissioned by someone?"
Lu Ziyun nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe it, we can go to the Miao village to prove it to you."
The middle-aged man looked thoughtful and continued to ask, "How many people are there in your car? Get out."
Hearing what he said, Lu Ziting and the others in the car opened the door and got out. Sangsang held Pei Yu's hand and looked at them curiously with her big watery eyes blinking.
The men saw that the strange young man driving the car was accompanied by a cute little girl.
The fact that they are willing to take their children on the road during these turbulent doomsdays shows that they are not evil people with malicious hearts.
The expressions of several people relaxed, and then nodded and said, "We are villagers from Shuangyu Town. We are going down the mountain to get something home."
"If you want to go up the mountain, you can, but the decision is in the hands of the Miao villagers. We, the villagers of Shuangyu Town, have no right to interfere. So whether the Miao people will let you in depends on your ability."
The management of the Miao village was very strict before the end of the world, and strangers would never be allowed to enter the village, let alone after the end of the world.
The reason why the residents of Pisces Town were able to go up the mountain was because both sides had known each other for a long time.
Huo Shen smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for the reminder."
The middle-aged man hummed lightly, then glanced at the big off-road vehicle and said, "We can't drive on the mountain road to Wangyue Mountain, we can only walk."
"Okay, we'll park the car on the side of the road," Lu Ziyun nodded in response, then he looked at Sang Chi and waved at him, "Sang Chi, come here and take the backpacks from the car, let them go first, we'll be there soon."
Sang Chi raised his eyebrows and made an OK gesture in understanding.
Then Lu Ziyun and Sang Chizhong returned to the car, and Huo Shen and his group followed the villagers of Shuangyu Town up the mountain first.
Lu Ziyun parked the car in a secluded location, and Sang Chi found a sports backpack from the space and put it on his back as a cover.
Then he put the SUV into the space and the two of them quickly followed.
Continue along the village road of Shuangyu Town. On the way, you can see the stream flowing slowly from the mountain. After walking out of the town, step onto the quaint blue stone steps and start climbing Wangyue Mountain.
Wangyue Mountain towers like a cloud, and the bluestone steps leading up to it are steep. Even for humans, it's hard to climb, let alone zombies, who would fall down the mountain if they weren't careful. Therefore, the Miao village on Wangyue Mountain is indeed very safe during the apocalypse.
After climbing to the middle of the mountain, we stopped at a platform to rest for a while.
Sang Chi took out the silver necklace given by Song Jing from the space. The necklace was originally on Sang Sang's neck, but she was too small to wear ornaments, so she took it off.
But now, Sang Chi wrapped the necklace twice and put it back on Sangsang's neck.
Sangsang touched the necklace with her little hand. She smiled happily, revealing her sweet dimples, and said in a baby voice, "Brother, the necklace Aunt Song gave me is so beautiful~".
Sang Chi rubbed Sangsang's soft hair and said with a smile, "Whether we can enter the Miao village today depends on this necklace."
The group took a short rest and continued climbing the mountain. After a while, the ancient gate of the Miao village appeared in front of them.
The Miao people all live in wooden stilt houses, so when you stand outside the gate and look inside, you can vaguely see the roofs of the houses.
Inside, there is a tall wooden tower near the gate for patrolling the situation.
The two people standing on the tower were two young men wearing the characteristic blue-green clothing of the Miao ethnic group, holding guns in their hands and keeping watch.
After seeing the people from Shuangyu Town coming back, the two men came down from the tower, opened the gate of the Miao village and walked out. They looked at Lu Ziyun and his group and asked the villagers in the town, "Who are they?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "They said they were entrusted by someone and wanted to enter the village."
One of the Miao youths with a green headband on his forehead frowned and said, "The village does not allow outsiders to enter or leave at will."
The Miao village is very strictly guarded. Allowing villagers from Shuangyu Town to enter the village is their bottom line, so it is impossible for them to let strangers from outsiders in.
The two Miao youths gestured to them and said expressionlessly, "Please leave."
"Don't chase us away yet, let us show you two young men something first," Lu Ziyun said with a gentle smile, and then Sang Chi carried Sang Sang over.
The little guy blinked his eyes, took out the silver necklace from his neck, and said in a soft voice, "Let me show you the necklace~".
The two Miao youths lowered their eyes and their gaze fell on the little girl's silver chain.
They are very familiar with this necklace. Every girl in the Miao village will have one made by her parents when she is born. It is a tradition of the Miao people.
How could the girl in front of me have a Miao girl's necklace?
The two Miao youths were slightly stunned and looked at each other, with doubts appearing in their eyes at the same time.
Then the two of them nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay, you can enter the village now."
"But we need to inform the village chief that you need to explain the matter of the silver chain."
As a Miao girl, Song Jing's token was indeed useful. Lu Ziyun smiled and nodded, "Of course."
The gate of the Miao village opened, and the group followed the two Miao youths into the village.
Then, in a wooden house nearby, he was checked for any external injuries, his temperature was taken with a thermometer, and finally recorded in a notebook.
The person who examined Sangsang was a Miao girl with a slightly round face. She looked at the little guy with curiosity and asked in a low voice,
"Little sister, why do you have a necklace from the Miao village? Is your mother a girl from our Miao village?"
This Miao girl started to use her imagination, and her face was full of gossip.
She knew that girls in the village were not allowed to go out and contact the outside world, but there would be brave girls who would sneak out.
Of course, the number of Miao girls who sneak out of the village is always very small.
"No," Sangsang Yaoyao said with a small head, "This is a gift from Aunt Song to Sangsang."
Aunt Song? Who is this?
When Song Jing left the Miao village, this Miao girl was still very young.
So it’s not surprising that she doesn’t know Song Jing.
After the Miao girl finished checking Sangsang, she took Sangsang out of the house with a lot of doubts in her mind. Then, the group, led by the Miao boy, walked towards the home of the Miao village chief.
At this time, the news that a group of people from outside had entered the Miao village had spread to everyone.
Many Miao people followed Huo Shen and his companions toward the clan leader's house, curious to know what was going on.
The chief of the Miao village is a white-haired old man who uses a walking stick.
Although the patriarch looked old, he was in good spirits and looked energetic, with sharp eyes that kept scanning Lu Ziyun and the others.
The group felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the tribe leader's eyes that seemed to see through everything. The Miao village leader's sharp eyes did not soften until he set his eyes on Sangsang, who was wearing a silver necklace.
At the same time, a woman wearing a blue-green dress of the Miao ethnic group who was accompanying the patriarch was also looking at them.
This woman was very beautiful, with the natural elegance of a lotus flower emerging from clear water. However, based solely on her beautiful appearance, it was impossible to accurately estimate her age, as she appeared to be only in her twenties.
But her gaze was like that of an old person who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. Her eyes were very gentle, and this gentleness was like an elder looking at a younger person, making people feel comfortable and mysterious, which was completely different from the feeling of the patriarch.
Even the old patriarch standing next to her seemed to treat this woman of the same tribe with respect.
The clan leader said, "Several of you said that you were entrusted by someone to come to our Miao village, and you have necklaces from the Miao people on your hands. I wonder who entrusted you?"
Huo Shen replied, "Chief, we were entrusted by Song Jing."
Hearing this name, the clan leader sighed and said with emotion, "It turns out to be Jing girl. Is she okay now?"
"She is doing fine now," Huo Shen nodded and continued, "It's just that Song Jing has been away from the village for many years and now misses her fellow villagers very much. But because of the doomsday, she can't come back, so she entrusted us to help report her safety."
The patriarch's face showed a complex emotion. Song Jing had left the village secretly, which made her family very sad for a while.
Now many years have passed and the end of the world has come. Song Jing misses the village but cannot go back. He can only say that fate is playing tricks on him.
The clan leader sighed again and continued, "In that case, those people are guests of our Miao village. Let Xiaogang take them to Song Jing's house."
Xiaogang was the Miao boy who had led the way just now. He nodded and said, "Okay, village chief, I will take the guests to Uncle Song's house."
Lu Ziyun and his group nodded, said goodbye to the clan leader, and left the high-rise building with Xiao Gao.
The patriarch and the beautiful woman beside him stood by the window. Looking at their backs as they left, he lowered his head and asked, "Grandma, what do you think of these young people?"
The beautiful woman called "Grandma" by the tribe leader smiled with her lips curved. Her eyes were as deep and calm as the deep sea. She replied in a gentle tone, "These people are all good kids with no bad intentions. If they want to stay in the village, they can stay."
Upon hearing this, the patriarch nodded with relief.
After coming out of the tower crane of the patriarch’s house, on the way to Song Jing’s house.
Lu Ziting and Sang Chi always felt like they had become circus performers, receiving so much attention.
Even though these two men were thick-skinned, their faces turned red at this moment. They asked the Miao boy Xiaogang, "Brother, why are the people in the village always staring at us?"
Xiaogang coughed lightly and said, "There are very few outsiders in the village, so everyone is very curious."
Huo Shen smiled and patted their shoulders, jokingly saying, "I didn't expect you two would be shy."
"Of course I'm shy," Sang Chi and Lu Ziyun nodded in unison, and they lowered their voices and said, "The main thing is that I found that many Miao girls were looking at us, so I naturally felt embarrassed."
Upon hearing this, Huo Shen looked around and saw that many young Miao girls were indeed looking at him curiously.
"Really?" Tang Lun was slow to react and scratched his head, his handsome face full of confusion, "Why don't I feel like someone is watching us?"
After saying that, he raised his head and looked around.
It was this one glance that made Tang Lun rub his eyes in disbelief, and then his face changed drastically.
