Xu Tiantu thought for a moment, laughed, and ran over. At this time, Xu Changfeng and the others were still pretending to play cards.
However, unlike the four-person game before, now there were three of them playing cards. One person was responsible for keeping watch. Grandpa Xu joined the group playing cards, while Xu Changfeng stood guard on the side. It looked like they were taking turns playing cards, but in fact, they had to set up a good defense, and they had to do it quietly.
"Daddy, daddy!" Xu Tiantu's intention was clear. She wanted to attract the others' attention, or at least get them both to start a conversation. This was crucial. And having her, a super cute little kid, handle this was clearly the most appropriate move.
The braid swayed, and she came in front of Xu Changfeng: "Dad, dad, I'm hungry."
It was impossible for them to be hungry. After all, they had just eaten and were in the process of digesting and resting, so everyone was very aware of what the other person wanted to express.
Anyway, it is definitely not hungry. What happens next depends on what the little rabbit says.
Xu Changfeng was in "rotation" at the moment, which meant that he was not at the card table, but watching them play cards on the side.
Poker is made of retro wooden chips, so it is quite different from playing cards. It is more like a retro game.
He touched the kid's head and asked, "Are you hungry? Wait, Daddy will get you something delicious."
If it's delicious, then it's really delicious. However, those who just arrived were complaining in their hearts, saying, "How can there be any delicious food at this time?"
The oil lamp was not bright, so they couldn't see clearly what these people looked like.
After all, from their perspective, it was backlit inside, but it was different when they traveled through time. From the light on their side, they could see everything clearly. After all, there was a fire there. If they really couldn't see clearly, there would be nothing to say.
But... the other party brought out an enormous cake. The child's face is so round, and he still eats so much. Is it really okay?
But I have to say that this child is well raised. After all, it is not easy to raise a chubby baby these days.
The man who had been walking in front sat down and said with a smile: "Brother, where are you from?"
Xu Changfeng brushed away the hair that had gotten stuck in his daughter's mouth after she swallowed something, and said with a smile, "At the foot of the mountain, what about you guys? You haven't seen me before, are you from another place?"
In one sentence, they confirmed their own identity as locals and directly brought the other party's identity into the outsider's hands, saving them from having to struggle with it later. It would be better to take the initiative in their own hands from the beginning.
Sure enough, after hearing what they said, the man nodded and said, "Yes, I went into the mountains to see if there were any good mushrooms. I just happened to pass through here and go to the village over there to see if there were any good dried ones. I'll collect them together. Brothers, why did you go into the mountains?"
Xu Changfeng said: "We are going to the town. We are from the village and want to explore the mountains."
This is a clear reason, so it can naturally be used openly.
However, these outsiders obviously didn't understand this, so they asked in confusion: "What does it mean to explore the mountain?"
"Exploring the mountain means opening a road." Xu Changfeng explained, "We need to open a road from the foot of the mountain next to the village to the town. This way, it will be more convenient to collect firewood or deliver firewood to the town."
Part of the logging revenue has to be handed over. If you want to go through the village, it is equivalent to taking a long detour, and there is no way to continue advancing deeper.
You can't just keep chopping wood around the foot of the mountain, right?
So this reason doesn't make sense. After listening to him carefully, we nodded. There was really nothing else to doubt.
Before he could say anything, he heard Xu Changfeng say, "This is our first time in the mountains. Just now, the sun was shining brightly outside the village, but we didn't expect it to rain so heavily as soon as we entered."
The man was even more puzzled after hearing this: "Don't you live at the foot of the mountain? How come this is your first time in the mountains?"
Even if you're a little kid, you don't know how many times you've sneaked into the mountains, right?!
Moreover, the man's accent was wrong, it sounded a bit like someone from the south.
Xu Changfeng said as a matter of course, "Hey, old man, you haven't been here for a long time, right? There aren't many villages near the Changhuan Mountains, so many new immigrant villages are being built here. The new villages we came to were just recently integrated, and we were busy working before, so we didn't have time to go up the mountain."
He spoke of this in a completely matter-of-fact tone. No normal person would doubt it, let alone these people who were not locals.
Moreover, he now put on a skeptical look, suspecting that what the other party said before about collecting mushrooms was false.
The man laughed and said, "We're just running quietly north and south. Isn't that a bit inconvenient now? Well, no wonder I haven't seen you. What do you call me, brother?"
Xu Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Just call me Brother Xu. What do you call me, little brother?"
The man's expression looked a little distorted under the bonfire. Was he crazy? How did he look younger than him? Wasn't it inappropriate to say something like that right off the bat with a youthful face?
He suspected that the other party was deliberately provoking him, but because the other party's expression looked too honest and sincere, his suspicion was dispelled. He just thought that the country boy was uneducated and therefore could not speak.
