…
On the way back to the village, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh whenever he thought of A Kang's silly look earlier.
But as he laughed, his vision blurred.
Even he didn't know why he suddenly felt so bad.
"careful."
Suddenly, Uncle Dong in the passenger seat shouted.
Mu Achen was startled awake and slammed on the brakes. The wheels scraped against the ground for several meters, almost plunging off the cliff several meters high.
Ah Zhuang, sitting in the back seat, turned pale with fright, and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly.
Even Uncle Arong, who was driving behind them, was scared half to death.
"Ah Chen..."
Ah Rong parked his car and ran over. If he hadn't seen that it was Mu Achen driving, he would have thought that Ah Zhuang, that idiot, had snatched the car from him halfway through.
A-Dong wiped away a cold sweat, stared at A-Chen, and asked, "What happened just now? Why are your eyes red?"
"Oh, it seems like something flew into my eye."
Ah Chen pretended to rub his eyes, but before he could, a tear broke through his blood-red eye socket and fell rapidly down his fair cheek.
"Let me blow on it for you."
"No need. It'll be ready in a minute!"
Ah Chen shook his head.
Uncle Rong raised his hand and pulled A Zhuang down to sit, then shook his head at Uncle Dong.
Now, even Uncle Dong, who was usually quite naive, understood.
What's in my eye?
Bullshit!
Uncle Arong moved the pickup truck to a spot where cars could pass each other, then let Mu Achen sit in the back seat while he drove the large SUV back to the village.
When Uncle Dong turned around, he saw that Ah Chen was covered in cold sweat and asked nervously, "Ah Chen, did you bump your waist again just now?"
"It's alright, it's not a big problem!"
“Arong, drive slowly when you turn. Azhuang, when we get to the entrance of Quedong Village, get off and call my mother, and ask her to come and take a look at Achen.”
"Whoosh!"
Ah Chen leaned back in his chair, not saying a word.
He was startled for a moment too.
Because he didn't know why he suddenly had a feeling of fear, as if he had lost the saintess.
Soon, after crossing several mountain passes, they finally saw Quedong Village.
Quedongzhai today is not what it was just over twenty days ago.
With the popularity of the Seven-Colored Sacred Fruit and Star Candy, Han Chinese from other places have been coming and going in this Miao village one after another.
Even the county government official who had visited before had to come countless times, coming every two or three days.
As for the small trucks hauling fruit, they run every day without interruption.
Even a wedding planning team from Shanghai, led by Lu Rui and consisting of nearly a hundred people, came in the night before last.
No matter how the Miao village changes or how famous it is now, the two village chiefs still feel uneasy.
Because Mu Achen, the master of the temple, has been gone for more than twenty days.
For more than twenty days, the two village chiefs were filled with anticipation, but even more so with worry.
They were worried that Mu Achen might get into trouble outside, since the child was too young.
Yet, amidst their anxieties, they found themselves watching those news reports on television.
Therefore, the Miao people of Heiwu Village and Quedong Village dared not imagine how hard Mu Achen had worked these past few days to accomplish all of this.
Even when they're very busy, Arui and Aduo will occasionally run to the mountaintop to gaze at the furthest entrance to the village.
But today...
"Chieftain, chieftain, look! Look down the mountain!"
"Chief, look! It's Ah Chen's car. Ah Chen is back."
The Miao people who were working on the mountaintop straightened up when they heard these exclamations!
After confirming that it was indeed Ah Chen's SUV, several of the prettiest girls took the lead in singing, and then hundreds of Miao men and women all started singing their Miao folk songs.
Sisters Arui and Aduo ran hand in hand to the edge of the courtyard.
Their singing voices are melodious and emotionally rich, as if they can transcend time and space.
At that moment, Lu Rui and his group, who happened to be 200 meters below Mu Achen's house, saw this scene and immediately reminded the people around them to record it.
"President Lu, who exactly is here? Why such a big commotion!"
"It's definitely not simple. Look at that card. It's from the provincial capital of Guizhou. Five sixes. That's awesome."
“I also think this person who came is even more powerful than the officials who came from the city yesterday, otherwise why would the Miao people have such a strong reaction?”
President Lu was even more eager than his subordinates to know who had arrived.
But they couldn't get close to the orchard at all, especially to the imposing house right next to it.
All I knew was that it was Mu Achen's house.
And this Mu Achen was the wealthy man they had met in Shanghai a dozen days ago.
At Mu Achen's doorstep, the unhurried Miao girls and aunties gathered around. The two village chiefs, seeing the large off-road vehicle approaching the gate, roared almost simultaneously from the front and back:
"Hurry up and get my stick out."
"Where's my whip? Find it quickly! This little brat has been running around for so many days, he'll think he can fly if he doesn't get a good beating."
Upon hearing this, the Miao people burst into laughter, but none of them went to find sticks or whips.
Enraged, the clan elder grabbed a broom and waited for the car to come to a complete stop.
However, when the car came to a stop and the two village chiefs saw that it was Uncle Arong who got out of the driver's seat, they were stunned again.
"Arong, where's that brat Mu Achen?"
Seeing this, Arong immediately understood what the two chieftains wanted to do and rushed forward.
"Father, Chief Mu, please don't add fuel to the fire at this time."
"What's wrong?"
"I'll tell you both later."
