Chapter 189 Jinjiang
The original trip to the longevity village was a cooperative project with the official authorities in the southern region, but we did not expect such an accident to occur midway.
While the officials in the southern region expressed their concern for the program team, they also specially sent a guide who was familiar with the area where the longevity village was located. The purpose was to introduce the customs and practices of the longevity village to the program team and the audience to achieve the purpose of tourism promotion, and to prevent the program team from going astray again.
——Although the officials of the southern region had conducted research before deciding to cooperate with the program team and knew about the distress in the previous episodes, they did not expect that they would be unlucky enough to be in distress again this time!
The staff who were originally expected to receive the program crew, after discovering that the program crew did not arrive on time, discovered during the live broadcast that the program crew had a car accident on the road. The staff were completely stunned at the time.
He has never seen anyone so unlucky. Although he knows that when people are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in their teeth, he never expected that this program would be a series of dangerous situations!
He couldn't even leave Binhai City before he got into a car accident and encountered some vicious criminals.
Judging from the live broadcast, the guests were all frightened.
The staff were dumbfounded.
Before the program team went back on the road this time, the staff there made a special call to Zhang Wubing and asked him concernedly if he needed any help.
Zhang Wubing looked up at the clear sky and the scenery passing by outside the car, and felt very happy. He smiled and told the other party not to worry, saying that the guide they sent was also very professional and there was nothing to worry about.
When he said this, even the driver couldn't help but look up and glance at him in the rearview mirror.
...Director, you don’t have to be so confident. Really, I find it a bit difficult.
Ever since the driver encountered a young man who suddenly appeared on the road last time, and a series of strange events that followed, a road that seemed to have no end no matter which way he walked, and the wailing sounds like a funeral procession... he was actually a little scared.
After being rescued, the driver was filled with anger and fear. He wanted to yell at Zhang Wubing and say something like "I quit. Who cares!" and even throw his resignation letter directly in Zhang Wubing's face.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Wubing's experience was even worse than his, and he himself looked so embarrassed after escaping. When he saw him, he hurried over to care for him, asked if he was injured, and offered to give him a raise...
The driver felt that this was the best boss he had ever met.
There is less work to do, good temper, high salary, and most importantly, people are kind-hearted.
Even the driver felt miserable when he saw Zhang Wubing's appearance at that time, but Zhang Wubing still cared about others... The words that the driver wanted to curse were stuck in his throat.
So he sighed and decided to continue.
The original staff of the program team were a makeshift team put together by Zhang Wubing before the show started, and no one knew each other.
But after following these programs for a few times, those who stayed gradually felt like they were at home.
When the assistant director and the driver expressed this sentiment, the driver did not take it seriously.
It was not until it was his turn this time that the driver felt... Director Zhang Wubing was a little silly, but he was really a good person, so good that others could not bear to betray his trust.
The driver was distracted for a few seconds, but he quickly forced himself back to look ahead.
The last incident taught him a lesson, and he must not get into a car accident again this time.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way, and everyone's originally tense hearts gradually settled down.
When passing the highway intersection, Zhang Wubing was surprised to see the official person in charge's car.
You have to know that the follow-up matters of Bin Da and Yin Lu are still being processed, and almost all the Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple were injured, so the official person in charge did not have the help of the people he was used to cooperating with in the past, and he was very busy.
When Zhang Wubing was talking to him a few days ago, he heard the person next to him say that he had not slept for several days in a row, and even his meals were just bread and water.
But the official person in charge parked the car next to the highway intersection, leaned on the car, and watched the convoy pass by him.
He smiled, raised his hand, waved to everyone in the car, and made the sound of "bon voyage" with his mouth.
The guests were like children on a spring outing seeing their parents, happily waving and responding to the official person in charge.
Yan Shixun held his chin and glanced sideways. When he saw the official person in charge's busy and haggard face through the car window, he suddenly paused. His attention was drawn to the other person's somewhat dark forehead, and he subconsciously started to calculate.
Then he took out his cell phone and sent a message to the official person in charge: [Metal and fire bring disasters, be careful of stomach problems, go to the hospital when you have time.]
When the official person in charge heard the message alert, he took out his mobile phone. When he saw Yan Shixun's reminder, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then he smiled and softened his brows.
[Okay, I'll go when I'm done.]
Who said Mr. Yan was cold? To people he was familiar with, he was so gentle and considerate.
The official head looked up and watched the convoy driving farther and farther away, feeling emotional.
However, it feels really good to be cared for by friends.
The official person in charge smiled and sincerely treated Yan Shixun as his friend, not just a work-related official contact.
Only after the convoy had safely passed the accident site and reached the next highway intersection did the official person in charge feel relieved and get back in the car and return to the city.
Inside the business car, the guide from the southern region was still smiling and introducing the destination to everyone.
The southern region wants to expand its tourism industry to boost the economy of remote mountainous areas and improve the living standards of surrounding people, so it has put a lot of thought into the selection of cooperative filming locations.
The pace of life in cities is getting faster and faster. Many office workers are exhausted physically and mentally. However, if they want to visit popular tourist attractions, they have to queue, queue, and queue again.
I don’t know whether traveling is fun or not, but I didn’t achieve the purpose of relaxation.
The main focus of the southern region this time is relaxation and health preservation, providing a natural oxygen bar for busy people in the city, which can not only relax their mood, but also regulate their physical health with a pure environment.
Therefore, the longevity village was pushed forward.
Changshou Village was originally called Shanwa Village. It is an ordinary small village in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the southern region.
But decades ago, a team of surveyors got lost in the mountains and mistakenly entered a village at the foot of the mountain and were rescued. Then they found that although there were many elderly people in the village, they all had rosy faces and were in high spirits. They walked briskly when doing farm work in the fields and could easily carry a few buckets of water.
The investigators originally thought that the villagers were in good physical condition because of years of hard work, but when they asked them in detail, they found out that these elderly people were all over 100 years old.
The investigators who learned the truth were stunned and asked the villagers how they maintained such good health.
The villagers thought about it and were also confused. They said that they did not do anything special. They just ate what they grew, drank spring water from the mountains, and worked from sunrise to sunset.
The investigators had no doubts, but only felt that the local environment and climate shape the local people.
When they left, they took a test tube of stream water and a handful of soil with them as per their professional custom, intending to go back and do some tests for the record.
But unexpectedly, the test results surprised the investigators.
The soil and water of this village are very beneficial to human health.
No wonder those old people are in such good health!
This incident first spread in a small circle, and was later written by a young intern among the survey team on his social media platform, using it as a diary to express his admiration for the miracles of the mountains and rivers.
Some people who saw this inspection diary felt that the young intern was sensationalizing and therefore strongly refuted her.
How can there be a whole village of centenarians? And they are in such good health?
Even the best sanatorium in the capital doesn't dare to say that.
The young intern couldn't help but produce more evidence to prove his words.
At the same time, the location of Shanwa Village was also found, and those who were unwilling to accept the result went there to check it out in person and made a bet with the intern.
After all, the intern was young, and being questioned without reason like this made her so angry that she agreed to the bet on the spot, and the netizens at that time were all witnesses.
Two months passed, and there was no news from the person who went there. Many people thought that either the intern bribed the person to prevent him from discovering that he was lying, or that the person ran away and did not go there at all.
Just as everyone was discussing this, the man suddenly reappeared on the intern’s social account, looking very emotional.
"Everyone, it's true!"
The message that person sent out contained a series of exclamation marks, and the words were all mixed up. It was obvious that he was extremely excited: "That village really exists, and everyone can live to be a hundred years old. It's incredible!"
Those who were originally questioning the intern came over and asked what was going on with that person.
The man said that because Shanwa Village was located deep in the mountains and not only was its geographical location remote, but the surrounding magnetic field interference was so severe that the compass malfunctioned. Even he, a veteran hiker, almost failed to find the place, so it took him two months.
Later, a middle-aged man who returned to the village learned of his purpose and brought him into the village.
"After living here for a while, even the injuries I suffered when I was young are gradually getting better. It's amazing!"
The man said excitedly: "This is a true longevity village!"
Hearing this man praising Shanwa Village so highly, and interns who had been there also testified that the soil and water there were excellent, the onlookers were shocked. While they were stunned and couldn't believe it, they were also a little moved.
After all, who doesn’t have some minor ailments after adolescence? When these ailments accumulate, they become serious and make them feel very uncomfortable. Even if they go to the hospital, many minor ailments that are not life-threatening but tormenting cannot be cured.
But this person came forward to tell his story, saying that all his minor ailments had been cured, and now he felt as light and graceful as if he were eighteen years old again every day.
"It's a pity. Because of the soil and water problems, after I left that village, my original problems seemed to have gradually returned."
The man said regretfully, "So this time I plan to arrange my work and affairs in the city, take my savings and live in Shanwa Village permanently."
"After working hard for most of my life, it's time to retire and enjoy my old age."
After saying this, the man never came online again.
This made the onlookers even more anxious, wanting to know whether this village was as magical as they said.
Fortunately, that person provided the location and route of Shanwa Village, allowing many interested people to go there.
This village seems to have magical powers. Everyone who has been there praises it highly and says that their bodies have become much healthier because of the mountains and rivers there.
Many people decided to pack up everything outside the mountain and settle down in Shanwa Village for a while.
This unanimous praise and admiration made Shanwa Village gradually famous, and more and more people saw travel notes about Shanwa Village.
Looking at the photos posted by the hikers, which included lush and open mountains and waters, quaint and beautiful villages, as well as photos of the hikers themselves and the elderly people in the village laughing heartily, many people couldn't help but sigh that this is truly a great place for recuperation.
In this way, the reputation of Shanwa Village spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. And as the word spread, because many people called it the Longevity Village, later generations forgot the original name of Shanwa Village and just called it the Longevity Village.
The southern regions also noticed the longevity village because of things on the Internet. They found that in recent years more and more people have come here to travel or even settle down. Some people have also opened hotels here, boosting the economy of the surrounding area.
After the field investigation, the southern region believed that the longevity village did have value, so in this cooperation with the program team, they tried to launch the longevity village.
——As long as the longevity village is successful, it can act as an "umbrella" to radiate to all the surrounding villages and boost their economic vitality. Moreover, the plans of building roads and opening mountains can also be steadily advanced.
The southern regions have almost seen a bright future.
"The reason why the longevity village makes people feel healthier is because the water there is of very good quality. It comes directly from upstream without any pollution. Instead, it brings down the beneficial minerals from the mountain soil, which can help the body's natural regulation. Therefore, people who drink the water there will have a different feeling."
The guide smiled and introduced to everyone: "This time you can also experience it. The most famous dish in Changshou Village is longevity fish. It is a famous dish that you must try."
"However, if you are curious about the longevity village, please do not buy anything on the Internet that claims to be a longevity village."
The guide also dutifully reminded the camera: "All the crops and spring water on the market that claim to be from longevity villages are fake and invalid."
An Nanyuan was puzzled after hearing this: "How can you be so sure? Although there are many fakes, there should be some real ones too."
As he was talking, An Nanyuan actually opened the shopping app and found that there was a section for selling agricultural products from Changshou Village.
But no matter which store it is, the reviews are not very good. Many people say that it is no different from ordinary things, but more expensive, which is just a tax on your IQ.
Among these shops, some merchants reluctantly explained that the goods were indeed carried out personally from Changshou Village, and that the water was also collected on-site from the stream, so there was absolutely no such thing as counterfeit or inferior goods, and they could provide on-site video footage as proof.
However, some people were still angry in the comments, saying that they thought the water tasted bad so they poured it into the fish tank, and as a result all the fish died. It was definitely the water that was bad.
However, some people pointed out that domestic fish cannot use such water directly. It is normal for fish to die if they cannot withstand the sudden change in living environment.
An Nanyuan looked through several shops and found things more and more strange.
He knew that this thing was just like purchasing on behalf of others or ticket scalpers. There were definitely fakes, but there shouldn't be no real ones at all, right?
After listening to An Nanyuan's doubts, the guide smiled and explained, "In fact, it cannot be said that all those who sell things from the Longevity Village are fake. Some of them are indeed from the Longevity Village. When I lived there, I also saw some people living in the hotel there doing this kind of business."
"But Mr. An doesn't know that as the saying goes, the local environment and climate determine the local people. This is true."
The guide patiently explained: "The water and soil of Changshou Village are only effective in Changshou Village. Even if you take the water away, it will be useless. Outside of Changshou Village, it is just ordinary water."
Lu Xingxing, who was memorizing the lesson listlessly, suddenly perked up when he heard this: "Is there such a thing?"
The guide nodded and said, "My hometown is near Changshou Village. The geographical location there is very special. It is located at the junction of two plates, and the magnetic field is also very chaotic. Ordinary traditional methods will not work in the mountains. This is why the unique water and soil there are created."
"Some people also say that it is because there is a mountain god in the longevity village, but I don't believe in such superstitions."
He smiled honestly, scratched his head, and said, "I think the reason why the soil and water in Changshou Village are so good is because there are no worries in the mountains, and the people around are very friendly. If you drink while arguing with others in the city, it will be useless."
An Nanyuan: ...What you said makes a lot of sense. I now believe in science.
Yan Shixun, who had been listening quietly without saying a word, turned his face, which was half supported by his palm, and looked at the guide with half-squinted eyes.
Yan Shixun and Li Chengyun had been to a southern region. Although it was not Changshou Village, it was another village located deep in the mountains.
At that time, a desperate mother rushed to the road, threw herself in front of Li Chengyun's car and asked him for help, saying that her daughter was considered a witch and was going to be burned to death by the villagers, and begged Li Chengyun to save her daughter.
The two were just passing by, but they did not expect such an emergency to happen. Li Chengyun said that this was the guidance of heaven and earth, and asked him to help the mother, and then followed the mother into the mountain.
That was the first time that young Yan Shixun walked through such a dangerous mountain.
The river in the canyon is rushing rapidly, hitting the cliff violently. If someone falls in, they will be swept away by the water in an instant, with no possibility of being rescued.
However, the only things connecting the two cliffs were two hemp ropes tied with a few pieces of wood, which served as a bridge.
The young Yan Shixun dared not breathe as he walked across the hemp rope, for fear that if he lost balance or tilted his body, he would fall into the turbulent river.
The mother took them to a remote village. When they arrived, a bonfire had already been lit. The desperate girl was tied to a wooden frame and cried helplessly, saying that she was not a witch and knew nothing.
Yan Shixun thought that Li Chengyun would save the girl, but he didn't expect that Li Chengyun just looked at her for a few seconds, put his hands in his pockets, and stepped aside, remaining unmoved no matter how the mother asked for help.
The young Yan Shixun was puzzled.
Li Chengyun explained with a helpless smile, because the girl was entangled with the souls of several people who died in vain.
Yan Shixun looked according to the method taught by Li Chengyun, and indeed saw a group of maggot-like things wriggling under the girl's clothes. Upon closer inspection, he actually saw a hideous human face.
Li Chengyun was impressed by the talent of his disciple. It took him decades of experience to hone his observation and judgment skills, but his disciple understood them immediately.
But he did not show it on his face and continued to teach Yan Shixun, saying that this was like refining a person into a Gu and raising it in his body.
Although the girl looked pitiful and innocent, making people want to help her, the remaining soul in her body that had not yet dissipated proved her sin.
As he spoke, Li Chengyun looked at the mother who brought them here, and said that if young witches wanted to get started quickly, they could choose the souls of their closest and dearest ones to make the Gu, which would greatly increase the success rate.
The love and hate of one's closest relatives are both very strong, so it is easiest to develop human poison.
When the mother heard what Li Chengyun said, her expression changed drastically. Her original gentleness and concern disappeared, and she pounced on Li Chengyun ferociously in an instant.
However, he was killed by Li Chengyun who was prepared with the peach wood sword.
While the villagers were stunned, the girl who was originally crying suddenly screamed miserably, as if she was going crazy.
Li Chengyun was not disturbed at all. He stood in the pool of blood where the mother had turned into a corpse the moment her body was cut open. He looked at Yan Shixun calmly, still teaching his disciple gently.
He told Yan Shixun that not all people who looked ferocious were necessarily guilty, and not all people who looked pitiful and weak were truly innocent. As an exorcist, if he made a wrong judgment, he would kill innocent people or let the evildoers go.
For example, the mother had actually been turned into a human Gu by her daughter. Her empty body was driven to stand on the roadside, stopping people who might help her daughter out of trouble, in an attempt to escape from the villagers.
The ferocious villagers in front of him were just trying to protect their families, and the poor crying girl was the culprit.
That was a valuable lesson that the young Yan Shixun learned, and he was deeply impressed by the witchcraft techniques in the southern region.
Hearing the guide talking about the mountains and rivers in the southern region, Yan Shixun's past memories were brought back. He recalled the time when he traveled around with Li Chengyun and smiled slightly.
But... Li Chengyun has been gone for a long time.
The lay Buddhist who always wears white smiles and gathers his sleeves. His faith will never waver at any time. No matter what kind of crisis, he will never lose his smile. It seems that he is always smiling gently. He asks the people around him with a sidelong glance: "Xiao Xun, do you remember?"
Remember, Master.
Yan Shixun lowered his eyes gently.
She reached out her hand and gently held his arm. The cool temperature came through his clothes, which made him feel at ease.
Yan Shixun suddenly came back to his senses, and the dazed look and sadness in his eyes disappeared immediately. He returned to his usual calmness and looked sideways to the side.
Ye Li smiled at him: "Shi Xun, I'm here."
Yan Shixun looked at him steadily, as if he wanted to say something, but after a long time he chuckled and swallowed back what he was about to say.
"What's the use of you?" Yan Shixun said with a half-smile: "The person who can blow up the kitchen just by cooking."
The kitchen at home has been repaired a lot these days.
Several times when official leaders or people from Haiyun Temple came to see Yan Shixun, they saw him rolling up the sleeves of his black shirt, revealing his smooth and strong arms, and concentrating on repairing the kitchen.
They were also surprised. Could it be that their memory was reset? Why was the scene the same every time they came?
The official person in charge also joked that Yan Shixun looked like an NPC with a bug in the game, always doing the same thing.
Yan Shixun was helpless, but unable to refute.
He originally felt a little uncomfortable when facing Ye Li, but he didn't expect that recently whenever he was not at home, Ye Li would seize the opportunity to practice his cooking skills (burning up the kitchen). The original image of Ye Li as a ghost in his mind gradually turned into an image of someone who would look at the ruins and want to explain awkwardly.
It was as if the clay sculpture of the god on the altar had come to life and turned into a person right before our eyes, and we could feel the fresh warmth with our touch.
After several interruptions like this, Yan Shixun's discomfort with Yeli gradually weakened.
However, Ye Li did not know about this.
He didn't expect that the clumsy side of him that he least wanted Yan Shixun to see would actually eliminate Yan Shixun's sense of distance from him.
Hearing Yan Shixun mention this matter, Ye Li fell silent, with a hint of embarrassment showing on his cold face.
"If camping is possible, my craft is pretty good."
Ye Li tried to remain calm: "Shi Xun, you can try."
"Winter? Camping?"
Yan Shixun raised his eyebrows and disagreed: "Even if the winter in the southern regions is not too cold, the temperature in the mountains is still not that high. If you go camping in this season, you will be turned into an ice sculpture when you wake up the next day."
Ye Li: "..."
Shi Xun, give me a way out.
"Oh! Aunt Master is so amazing. She even knows some wilderness survival skills?"
Lu Xingxing, who was at the back, was asking Yan Shixun to say a few good words for him in front of Taoist Song Yi, so he kept paying attention to the two people sitting in the front row and happened to hear their conversation.
He decisively threw down the book, leaned on the seat and excitedly stretched his neck towards Yan Shixun, like a child on a spring outing chatting with other children through the person in between.
Lu Xingxing looked at Ye Li with admiration and thought it was so cool that he could survive in the wild and camp.
There were little stars twinkling in his eyes when he looked at Ye Li, and Yan Shixun, who turned around in surprise, was almost blinded by them.
"Since Master Uncle said winter is not suitable for camping, let's go in the spring!"
Lu Xingxing suggested happily: "The mountain at Haiyun Temple is really suitable for camping. It just so happens that Master Uncle can go back to Haiyun Temple for a visit. How perfect."
Yan Shixun sneered: "If you want to play, just go by yourself. Even if we go camping together, do you think he will take care of your meals?"
He still has some understanding of Yeli.
After all, they have been together for such a long time. Although Yan Shixun still doesn't quite understand why Ye Li always treats him differently, he can see Ye Li's indifference towards the world and knows that Ye Li is definitely not the kind of person who would help others for no reason.
If Lu Xingxing thought that going camping together would allow him to share the care of Ye Li, then his plan would have failed.
"Camping? What camping?"
Song Ci, who had a face full of marks from sleeping, opened his eyes drowsily and heard a few scattered words, which piqued his interest for a moment.
The young master and Lu Xingxing got together and talked excitedly about camping.
Meanwhile, Yan Shixun turned around and looked at Ye Li, raised his eyebrows, and asked him, "You don't look very weak, so why don't you go sit in the back?"
Ye Li frowned: "Why?"
Yan Shixun: "When we got in the car, didn't you say you were not feeling well and that's why you had to sit with me?"
He said lazily, "It's still a long way to Changshou Village. I'm going to take a nap. You're too much of a nuisance beside me."
Yan Shixun shook his long legs to indicate, "It's too crowded, I can't even stretch my legs."
It's just like a big cat sticking out its paw pads to reject people, lazily guarding its territory.
Ye Li was caught off guard by Yan Shixun's cute smile and even held his breath for a moment.
Then he softened his brows, quickly fell on the chair, and said with a smile: "It hurts so much, I can't walk anymore."
Yan Shixun sneered, obviously not believing what Ye Li said.
Ye Li was not at all embarrassed by having his half-hearted lie exposed. Instead, he smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "My presence won't affect Shi Xun's sleep."
"Besides, with me here, Shi Xun will be able to sleep more comfortably, right?" Ye Li suggested with a smile, "A human cushion can also adjust the angle, isn't that good?"
“In your terms today, this is artificial intelligence.”
Yan Shixun: No, this is the "intelligence" adjusted by the ghost himself.
It is inevitable to be tired after a long car ride, and Yan Shixun was sitting in the front row. Unlike other guests who were interacting and playing in front of the camera, he was leaning his head against the background of lively laughter, feeling drowsy.
An Nanyuan came over and asked in a puzzled voice: "Brother Yan, is the longevity village you said really that magical? How can the same thing be effective in one place but not in another?"
Because the guide was from the southern region and firmly believed in the longevity village, An Nanyuan was afraid that his doubts would hurt the guide's feelings, so he chose to come when the guide was not around.
Yan Shixun raised his eyelashes and looked at An Nanyuan who was squatting beside him.
Although he had never been to Changshou Village and had never heard of it before, he had no doubt that water would be ineffective if it left its source.
There is a saying among the people that water quality can be determined from the land.
For example, the wine made from spring water in a certain place is of extremely high quality. However, if the spring water is diverted to another place to build a winemaking factory, the taste of the wine will change. The effect can only be achieved at the water source.
For example, the sauce of a certain village must use water from a specific well in the village to have that fragrant and mellow taste. But if the well water is pumped out of the village to make the sauce, the taste will be gone.
After much puzzling research, the answer we came to was that there was a specific mold at the origin that could only survive in that environment.
When water passes through the bacteria, it brings in special flavors and effects, but they become inactivated once they leave the source, so they have no effect.
Yan Shixun simply told An Nanyuan his guess and said, "Maybe the same is true for Changshou Village."
After all, the mountains and rivers are vast and full of wonders.
An Nanyuan was amazed when he heard this and exclaimed that it was magical.
He grew up in the city and had never seen the things Yan Shixun described.
Because Annanyuan accidentally raised his voice, the guide also noticed this side.
He came over with a smile and said, "Mr. Yan is indeed knowledgeable. The people who investigated Changshou Village at that time also said so. After all, Changshou Village is isolated from the world and there is no pollution upstream, so when the water flows down, it may bring down some good things."
"When we get to the location, everyone must try it."
The guide exclaimed: "That is the best water I have ever tasted in my life. I can't get enough of it even if I drink it alone. It is better than all the delicacies."
When the audience before the live broadcast heard the guide say this, they were also tempted.
[What kind of water is this? Is it really so delicious? I am not well educated, so don’t lie to me.]
[I've only heard of water tasting sessions in high-end circles abroad, and that water from different places has different flavors. So, our domestic water is not bad at all, and we can definitely do it.]
[Hahaha, it’s because the Piannan area is too simple and honest. Look at the netizens who are worried about Piannan and want to come up with ideas for them to make money.]
[I think it’s really okay. For someone like me who doesn’t like to drink water, even if it doesn’t have any effect, as long as the water tastes good, I’m willing to pay for it.]
[Is this guide a former salesman? I feel thirsty after listening to his introduction.]
The audience discussed the Longevity Village excitedly. Many people who heard about the village for the first time said that if the village was really as good as described, they would definitely consider visiting it next time they travel.
Some people have already booked to go here next time.
[I just searched it and it was just like what the guide said. Many travelers have been there before! The environment looks really good. I will go there next time - and there is no need to queue! I was so moved that I cried.]
The audience laughed and joked, and were also amused by the interaction of the guests.
Amidst the laughter, Yan Shixun fell into a light sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the southern area.
The guide looked like a wanderer returning home, and was quite excited when he saw the outlines of the mountains in the distance.
He pointed to the view outside the window with a smile, and said with nostalgia and emotion: "Over there into the mountains is the Longevity Village. Isn't the view pretty good?"
"But the road ahead is still under construction, so cars can't pass into the mountains. Everyone has to get out of the car and walk."
The guide smiled and said, "Don't worry about the vehicle. The tourist facilities here are gradually being improved. There will be a special parking lot for storing vehicles."
It just so happened that everyone had been sitting in the car for several hours and felt sore in the waist and legs. Lu Xingxing even complained that his buttocks were so numb that he couldn't find his way.
When the guide said that they had to get off the bus and walk over, everyone not only did not feel tired, but cheered and were eager to try.
"It's a good time to stretch my muscles."
Zhao Zhen stretched out his body with all his strength, and his bones were crackling. He smiled and said, "After the age of 18, my health started to decline. I'm almost 30."
Song Ci next to him took two steps back in disgust, away from Zhao Zhen.
Even if he is eighty, he is still eighteen. Why does Zhao Zhen act so old-fashioned? Tsk, it makes him look unhappy.
The young master turned around and wanted to look for Lu Xingxing, but saw that he was still worrying about his big backpack.
The book that Taoist Song Yi stuffed into his hand was so heavy!
Song Ci: “…”
My teammates are idiots.
Song Ci decisively went to find Yan Shixun.
After parking the car, everyone followed the guide into the mountains, chatting and laughing. Along the way, they saw many homestays with a strong folk style, and the owners or their wives responded to their greetings with a smile.
The sky is clear and the mountains are silent.
Under the tree, yellow chrysanthemums bloomed in early winter, swaying slightly in the wind.
