Chapter 369: Outsiders Are Not Welcome



We had never seen it, and then the area dried up, without a drop of water.”

It turns out that there really is such a place.

Jiang Yuan was a little excited and couldn't wait to go over and take a look.

However, the intention should not be too obvious.

"That's a shame. If it were developed, it might become a tourist attraction."

She laughed and the old lady also laughed and didn't say anything else.

There weren’t enough tables, chairs and benches at home, so everyone just held their bowls and found a place to eat a bite.

Not only that, there are not enough bowls at home.

Early in the morning, the old man went out and borrowed a lot from his neighbors.

When we arrived yesterday, there were not many people left here.

Including the two children, there are twenty-five people in total.

After dinner, the village chief invited everyone over.

It was still the same yard as yesterday. Now that it was daybreak, I could barely see the specific situation here.

It seemed to be a place similar to an ancestral hall. The hall they were in last night was specifically used for meetings.

Today, someone lit the charcoal brazier early in the morning.

When I came here, it was warm.

The houses here are very tall and made of wood, looking antique.

Even the main seat opposite was equipped with an octagonal table and an armchair.

Looking at the intricate and delicate carvings, it must be an old item.

There were many of them, and many elderly people from the village also came.

On the first and sixth days of the New Year, Wu Zhiqing and his wife were also there.

That Mr. Teng Erye was the village chief of Yuebanhu Village and he sat in the middle seat.

"Everyone is here, sit down, sit wherever you want."

He looked quite amiable and not as cruel as he was last night.

"Thank you very much."

Song Yi thanked him in a dignified manner, thinking in his mind how to find out about Yueban Lake, and the whereabouts of Mo Qi and the others.

"Oh, brother, let's not beat around the bush. The situation is special now, so I'll speak frankly.

What are your plans next? Have you figured out what to do? "

After these words were spoken, many people could no longer hold back.

I never thought that Yueban Lake was actually a village.

Besides, people don't want to take them in at all.

“Master Teng, we just wanted to come to Yueban Lake, but we didn’t expect there to be a village here.

I wonder if there really is such a lake?"

Jiang Yuan was also very nervous. The old lady just said that there was this place, but it was dry.

If, Master Fuji doesn't want everyone to know...

"There was indeed a lake, but that was in the past. It has long been dry. It was at the bottom of the mountain behind."

Fortunately, the rhetoric is the same.

“I don’t know if we can go there.

Now that things are chaotic outside, we, a group of people, also want to find a place to stay. "

He has already lowered his posture very much, after all, he is asking for help.

The back mountain does not belong to the village, so Master Teng doesn't care about it.

“It’s possible, but there’s nothing over there.

It won't be easy for you to go there in this kind of weather!"

As soon as I said it, I immediately regretted it.

“What I mean is, if you don’t mind, you can settle down in an empty house in the village.

At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and it will be convenient for you to leave later."

Good man, how can we not welcome them! "Thank you for your kindness, we want to go and see that place, since we are here.

I have disturbed you enough.”

Seeing that Song Yi was so understanding, Mr. Teng was also very happy.

"Hey, brother, you don't have to be so polite. I'll find someone to take you there?"

"Okay, thank you for your help..."

As Song Yi was speaking, Jiang Yuan turned her head to look at Wu Zhiqing and his wife.

"On the first and sixth day of the first lunar month, you are happy that you have found your parents this time."

"Happy, sister~"

Chuliu came over and held her back. The little girl was simple-minded.

This couple does not look like simple and honest people, even though they always have smiles on their faces.

However, she could not see it clearly, which made her unable to understand it.

“By the way, big sister, I heard that you were taken away by a group of people.

These two children were worried all the way.

It was too late when I came here yesterday, and I didn’t have time to ask.

I hope nothing happened to that group of people. Are you injured? "

She was so affectionate that she pulled Xiao Chuliu again.

"It's okay, girl, thanks for remembering me.

We have Master Teng here, so he will naturally support us."

Wu Zhiqing was listening nearby and now came over to speak.

"Come to think of it, that group of people also came from Changming Manor, maybe they know you guys!"

The temptation in these words was too obvious.

“Maybe we really know each other, but we are just ordinary people, and we also worked in various places in the past.

I heard from Chuyi that they were all wearing camouflage uniforms and might be officials.

Maybe I have seen him, but I can’t talk to him.”

Jiang Yuan's answer was very clever. It didn't offend anyone and also helped to get herself out of the trouble.

Wu Zhiqing had a fake smile on his face. The other person was being honest, and if he continued to care about it, he would appear to be petty.

Jiang Yuan didn't try to probe anymore. Even if Mo Qi and the others were not dead, they were under control.

The people here are all smart.

Moreover, anyone who can survive in the apocalypse for so long is not a simple character.

Soon, Mr. Teng Er called someone over, and feeling a little worried, he followed over as well.

After going out, go straight to the back mountain.

Jiang Yuan also looked around carefully. This village was not small.

The old lady said that there were not many people, which meant that most of the houses were vacant.

In this case, even if they all lived here, there would be no problem at all.

However, Mr. Teng Erye disagreed.

I guess he's wary of outsiders. At this juncture, it's best to proceed step by step.

Too many people knew the name Yuebanhu, and he was unsure about it.

Passing through the village, there is a narrow path.

First we passed through large tracts of woods, and then there was a small river.

It’s impossible to tell what it originally looked like. If it weren’t for the marks, I wouldn’t have recognized it.

Everyone was a little curious. After finally reaching the foot of the mountain, they actually started walking inside.

Turned twice and then went back.

"Master Teng, what's going on? This place is right next to the village, why do we have to go around in such a big circle?"

Song Yi asked directly. There was no way he could find out the situation himself later.

So, he chose to hit a straight ball.

"Brother, don't get me wrong. I'm not taking you around in circles on purpose. This is really the only way to get to the destination!"
