The sky remained grey and overcast.
Soon Qiao Yuan arrived at the village entrance.
Compared with the prosperous Sijiao Village in the real world, the village in front of us looks more like a village in a poor area.
Just like the village decades ago, there are streets made of blue bricks and tiles, with low bungalows on both sides, one next to the other.
It looks shabby, but it gives people a feeling of tranquility and peace.
There are two trees at the entrance of the village, one is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree.
There is a small wooden pavilion next to it, with a stone table in the middle. It seems to be a place for villagers to rest and cool off. At this moment, an old man is standing inside.
However, Qiao Yuan's attention was focused on the human-sized statue behind the pavilion.
Different from the artworks in Qiao Yuan's memory.
The shape of this sculpture is quite strange, with a blurred face, resembling a man or a woman, holding a lantern in its hand, full of mystery that cannot be described in words for a moment.
…
"Brother in front, wait a moment!"
A voice came from behind.
A group of people wearing casual tourist clothes were approaching Qiao Yuan, including men and women, adults and children.
Looks like a tourist.
Qiao Yuan stopped and waited.
Seeing this, the young man who greeted him quickly came to Qiao Yuan, put his hands on his hips, panting, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the quiet fields around him, and perhaps mistook Qiao Yuan for a local resident, so he asked about the situation here.
"Brother, I have a question, is this Sijiao Village?
"We are outsiders, it's our first time here, and we seem to be lost."
Qiao Yuan looked carefully at the breathless young man in front of him.
It can be seen that he has a very typical bloated physique.
After a brief understanding, Qiao Yuan learned the information of the eight people in the group. They had just met each other and chose to take a detour in order to avoid tickets or pursue novelty. Then... they chose a main road and came here.
…
"You know what, the air in the countryside is really good, much better than in our city. When I save enough money, I will definitely go back to the countryside to retire!"
"That's right, let's see if we can buy some local specialties later."
"Wow, this place is so beautiful, I want to take a picture!"
"Li Si, hurry up... take a few more pictures for me!"
There was constant discussion in the crowd, and the most eye-catching thing was a young and beautiful girl with a ponytail. She was very happy to see the green fields and shouted to her boyfriend to take a picture of her.
The tall boyfriend next to him could only agree helplessly.
These people don't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem.
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
Qiao Yuan spoke slowly.
…
Qiao Yuan and others' behavior, which was obviously incompatible with the village, finally attracted the old man in the pavilion.
The old man came out with a kind smile on his face and came in front of everyone.
"Welcome to Dead End Village!"
Qiao Yuan looked at the old man in front of him who was about fifty or sixty years old. The old man had a heavy accent and for a moment Qiao Yuan couldn't tell whether he was saying the number four or death.
"Old man, is this Sijiao Village?"
The young man who had greeted Qiao Yuan before came to the old man and asked him questions.
The old man stroked his beard and smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Which corner is this? Why haven't I seen it in the photo?" the man asked puzzledly.
The smile on the old man's face became even brighter.
…
Sijiao Village is divided into the new village and the old village. The new village is the tourist attraction with four unique features that is well known to people outside.
The old village is where the local residents live, but due to the rapid development of the new village in recent years, most of the young people in the village have moved out.
Only a few old people and women are left in this old village, living a simple and plain rural life.
After hearing what the old man said, everyone became excited. They didn’t expect that Sijiao Village had such a history. This trip was not in vain.
Then, the old man claimed to be the village chief of Sijiao Village and invited everyone to visit the village.
Everyone said sorry for disturbing him, but after looking at the sky, they honestly followed him, including Qiao Yuan.
Along the way, the tourists talked and laughed, and asked about some things related to the village.
Some people even jokingly said that they wanted to settle here when they get old.
The old man explained enthusiastically and led Qiao Yuan and nine others into the village. Soon, some enthusiastic villagers surrounded them, asking about their well-being and offering them drinks, fruits, etc.
This made the tourists feel embarrassed for a moment. The villagers here were really simple and honest. The tourists immediately prepared to pay money in return.
But they were all rejected by the villagers. In their words, these were their own products and were not worth much money.
For a moment, the tourists who were accustomed to city life couldn't help but sigh that there really are good people in this world.
Then the village chief discussed with the villagers and let the nine people live in nine families respectively. The people had no choice but to agree to the village chief's arrangement because of the enthusiastic villagers.
Qiao Yuan originally planned to wait and see, and then slowly explore, until he saw a figure.
That’s... Wang Jing!
…
Qiao Yuan wouldn't be wrong. Although they had only seen each other once, the baby face that made people want to pinch it was clearly recognizable.
Qiao Yuan walked around the crowd and quickly came to Wang Jing. At this time, Wang Jing finally noticed Qiao Yuan and seemed a little surprised.
"Qiao Yuan, why are you here?"
It can be seen that Wang Jing is quite happy and does not look like she is in danger or being threatened or kidnapped.
