Can this serve as a reminder?
Shi Alei clearly didn't expect Achen to say that!
But he soon understood.
He bowed to Achen again to apologize.
After all, he offended the Holy Maiden and the future Miao King without his knowledge.
But--
Ah Chen, that's really too much of a prank!
Not only did she arrive without a word, but she also talked nonsense to him, saying things like "your wife" and "my wife." Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Last night, although Shi Alei was drinking and having fun with the wolves of Qiandong, he couldn't calm down at all.
Now that Ah Chen didn't take it to heart and the Holy Maiden didn't pursue the matter, his worries were finally relieved.
"Alright, get ready! Let's go! By the way, where are Xing and He?"
“Ah Chen, the two of them are feeding the horses outside themselves, saying that the road over there is inaccessible by car and they have to ride horses to get there.”
"Okay! Then... what about the car?"
Amo glanced at Nan Ayun.
Ayun said, "Aling said that the road in Inner Xinjiang is now open to traffic, so I asked Axing and Ahe to find Miao Lang to drive to the border between Inner and Outer Xinjiang and leave it there for now."
"Alright! You guys make the arrangements. Ah Bao and Ah Xiong, you two come with me for a moment."
A corner outside the courtyard --
Tang Abao and Gu Axiong followed Achen here.
Ah Chen turned to look at the two of them and asked, "Your babies are either already born or about to be born. Why are you here at this time... Go back after you're done, don't linger too long."
"Achen, don't worry about these things. We've taken care of everything at home."
"Anyway, you can arrange your own schedule. You should take good care of your own wife. Giving birth is a big deal. It's not right for your husband not to be by your side."
Ah Chen spoke with utmost seriousness, and upon hearing this, Gu Ah Xiong and Tang Ah Bao glanced at Ah Mo over there—
Then-
Tang Abao lowered his voice and retorted to Achen, "So you know having a baby is a big deal! You two aren't worried, but we in Quedong Village are dying of anxiety."
"Tang Abao, do you think only your Quedong Village is anxious? Let me tell you, our entire Long Skirt Miao branch is anxious."
Gu Axiong, not to be outdone, added this comment as well.
Ah Chen rolled his eyes, and the next second, he turned and left. He wasn't going to talk about this with Tang Abao and Gu Axiong.
Now, Tang Abao and Gu Axiong were filled with hatred!
…
soon!
After breakfast, Ah Chen and the others set off!
A group of more than ten people, guided by Ah Xing and Ah He, headed towards Wupan Miao Village.
Wupan Miao Village is located on the dividing line between the inner and outer borders of China, but it is in the opposite direction of Miaoxi County.
According to Jackal Ah Xing, it's probably forty kilometers from this town.
and--
The route passes through towering mountains and at least a hundred Miao villages.
The widest road was at most two meters wide, and in the narrowest places, it was just wide enough for a warhorse to pass.
The key is -
The mountains and forests are vast, the roads are steep, and there are many insects.
Soon, after Ah Chen and his companions left the country road, the road became narrower and narrower.
Fortunately, the weather today is quite nice, unlike yesterday's drizzle and light rain.
On the contrary, there was sunshine.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed.
“Ayun--”
After entering the path, Ah Chen turned to Nan Ah Yun beside him and said, "Let's draw a map of the terrain we've traveled along. Hmm, just a simple map will do, and make sure the locations are clearly marked."
"good."
Ayun nodded.
Amo said, "Achen, didn't Aling give you a map? Give it to me. When Ayun is drawing it, I'll also make some annotations so it will be clearer and you can see it at a glance."
"Alright!"
Ah Chen sighed inwardly: What a thoughtful wife! I envy Ah Chen's incredible luck!
Then, he took out the leather map and gave it to Amo!
But Ah Yin, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked, "Brother Ah Chen, should we call you 'Brother Ah Chen' or 'Ah Yi' from now on?"
The Miao men accompanying them all perked up their ears when they heard this question.
Ah Chen said, "Call me 'Ah Yi'."
Forehead--
Are you still hiding your identity?
Xiangxi Jackal Ah Xing and Ah He both looked miserable.
They were terrified that their Miao people might be foolish enough to cause trouble for Achen.
Even Shi Alei, who was accompanying Li Ayin, was terrified when he heard these words.
This time, however, the Holy Maiden is with her.
As for Tang Abao and Gu Axiong, they indicated that they understood.
Meanwhile, Ah Chen, walking ahead, kept looking around.
The road they are on now is rugged and steep, and the further they go towards Wupan Miao Village, the more deserted it becomes.
We passed through many Miao villages along the way, but the transportation was...very inconvenient.
Approaching noon--
The dark clouds in the sky have mostly dispersed.
Ah Chen and his group arrived at the foot of the mountain, where the environment was tranquil and beautiful.
Especially the canyon on the left, which probably has a drop of six or seven hundred meters.
A river cuts straight through the middle of the canyon, and on the right-hand side, there is a not-so-small Miao village.
The Miao village is located on the embankment of the river, with stilted houses built against the mountainside, extending all the way to the mountainside.
A Miao village hidden in the mountains --
At a glance, there are probably six or seven hundred households.
This is a Miao village hidden in the mountains.
On the side of the Miao village, there is a relatively flat area where there is a small market.
"Amo, let me see the map."
"Give."
Ah Chen took the map from Ah Mo, checked it against the map, and then said to Ah Yun beside him:
"Mark this place down, make sure it's the important part, including the surrounding terrain. Ask Ah Xing and Ah He. Write everything down clearly!"
"I'll write it right away."
"Achen, what's wrong?" Amo asked, puzzled.
