Chapter 0050 Mountain Village

It was almost afternoon when Yu Beichuan and Zhang Tieniu came out of the Puppet Secret Realm. Huang Pu Lingyun said goodbye and Zhang Tieniu dilly-dallyed, and soon it was time for the sun to set.

They walked along the lake. Yubeichuan stood awkwardly on a slope and looked around without any clue. He simply said that he was lost.

Zhang Tieniu was very down-to-earth. He had enough to eat and drink and did not rush him. In Zhang Tieniu's eyes, following the boss was always the right thing to do. However, the cruel reality was that his boss himself could not figure out whether the path he was taking was right or wrong.

After turning back and forth several times, he still returned to the original place, and Zhang Tieniu also followed and turned around several times without knowing why.

Yu Beichuan finally admitted that he really had no sense of direction and was obviously a road fool.

"Tieniu, we two are lost." Yu Beichuan told Zhang Tieniu evasively, even adding the words "we" heavily in order to avoid his own responsibilities.

"Boss, you are so stupid. You can't find the way to ask someone." Zhang Tieniu said carelessly, without any intention of blaming him, and then scratched his head in embarrassment.

It would be better to ask ghosts than to ask people. Apart from the two of them, not even a single person could be found in this barren mountain.

"Boss, walk along the lake. Didn't you learn when you were a child that you should face the sun? East is in front of you and west is behind you... Don't you want to go south? This direction is south. If you go forward and find someone, you will know.

.”

Stupid people really have stupid ways. The sun starts to set. If you stand facing the sun, the direction will be revealed.

"Haha, Zhang Tieniu has a way. The knowledge he learned in elementary school is really useful." Yu Beichuan chuckled and immediately agreed, making a decisive decision.

"Boss, to be honest, I have never passed the primary school Chinese and mathematics exams," Zhang Tieniu scratched his head in embarrassment.

In fact, Yu Beichuan was more embarrassed than him. The deeper meaning of Tieniu's words was not that Yu Beichuan was more embarrassed than him...

"Come on, come on," Yu Beichuan took out the puppet Pi Xiu. This time Yu Beichuan also learned to be smart and used it to travel, which at least could make up for the time wasted previously.

Yu Beichuan took out the giant puppet from the storage ring. When he saw the puppet, Zhang Tieniu exclaimed, "Boss, what a big tiger, what a big butt."

"Pixie puppet! Divine beast, do you know the mythical beast?" Yu Beichuan was speechless. This iron ox...

"Who says I don't understand? When I was in the small town of Akosre, my neighbor next door had the little daughter," Zhang Tieniu was not convinced. In the past, the neighbor used to call his daughter a mythical beast all day long.

Yu Beichuan opened his eyes wide, seeing that Tieniu actually still had this kind of operation, "That's it, that's it, let's hurry up and get going."

The giant puppet was very fast, running nearly hundreds of kilometers in more than an hour. Looking from a distance, a small village appeared in front of it.

Perhaps it was because the two of them were riding together, or because Tieniu was overweight. Yu Beichuan looked at the spiritual stone that had consumed nearly half of it, and felt extremely distressed.

"Tieniu, come down," Yu Beichuan said without saying a word. He raised his hand and put away the puppet Pi Xiu.

"Boss,

What's going on?" Zhang Tieniu, who was feeling happy, was a little unhappy.

"Tieniu, it's close to a village. This thing can easily scare people. Even if it doesn't scare people, it won't scare the flowers and plants. Tieniu himself doesn't want to scare him..." Yu Beichuan slowly enlightened him.

Zhang Tieniu liked this excuse. Anyway, he had to wear it all the time, even if he didn't flatter him, the boss was the boss and he was always considerate of others. Zhang Tieniu accepted it.

The village is not big, with about a dozen households. The entire small village is covered by pine forests. From a distance, it looks natural and peaceful.

Behind the pine forest, green hills stretch for thousands of miles, and a dozen small buildings are nestled in small ravines.

The sun is setting in the west, and at this moment, it should be the time when the smoke is curling up, but now, the whole village is lifeless and silent, which makes people sad to see it.

Yu Beichuan and Zhang Tieniu looked at each other and quickly entered the village.

In a prominent position at the entrance of the village, a natural yellow wax stone stands at the entrance of the village, with the three characters "Hanjiawan" engraved on it. Based on the name of the village, it seems that this village has a majority of people with the surname Han.

Entering the village and walking forward, you will see a two-story small fire-brick building standing there quietly next to a thick old pine tree with a crooked neck.

There is a small courtyard in front of the small building. The courtyard is surrounded by a cement brick wall. There is no decoration on the outside of the entire small building. The cement beams, columns and red bricks are exposed, making it look very shabby.

The originally empty windows on the second floor were neatly cut out with snakeskin bags and made into simple windows to seal them up. At the gate of the small courtyard in front of the house, a dilapidated solid wood door stood firmly.

The dilapidated door was tightly closed, and it was obvious that this family was not very wealthy.

Generally speaking, if the door is closed at a time like this, there should still be people alive. This is what Yubeichuan has learned from his experience.

"Tieniu, be careful," Yu Beichuan made a cautious move for Zhang Tieniu. The two of them approached the small building one after the other. Yu Beichuan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Is there anyone there? We are living people, passing by and asking for directions." Yu Beichuan asked softly to the crack in the door.

After a while, a rustling sound of footsteps came along with the pattering sound, and the sound got closer and closer. Looking through the crack in the door, the person who came to open the door was an old man in his seventies with a kind face and kind eyes.

He had a short stature, a slightly sloppy face, white and black hair, and two long curved eyebrows that were almost white. He was wearing a pair of slippers and walked over carefully step by step.

When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment as if he had some concerns, and finally opened the door with a "squeak".

The door was only cracked by a crack. Seeing the tall and powerful Zhang Tieniu, the old man was obviously startled.

"Hello! Don't be afraid, old man, we are just here to ask for directions." Yu Beichuan hurriedly came forward to explain, and Zhang Tieniu also cracked his mouth and squeezed out a kind smile.

"Old man, we are good people!" Zhang Tieniu lowered his voice. Despite this, Zhang Tieniu's bare head really didn't look like a good person.

"Oh, please come over there." The two of them said

Among them, Yubeichuan still has a pretty face, and the elderly may also be attracted by this.

Seeing Yu Beichuan and Zhang Tieniu squeeze in through the crack of the door, the old man stretched out his head and looked around before nervously locking the door.

"Brother, please walk softly and don't wake grandma from sleeping." A little boy of three or four years old reminded me.

He has curved eyebrows, a straight nose, and a square face. Perhaps because he is too thin, his eyes look particularly small.

He pointed to a pile of new soil in the yard, put his little finger to his lips, and made a shushing gesture.

The old man grimaced and whispered, "My wife is a living dead."

It seems that after the old lady turned into a zombie, the old man killed her and buried her there.

Yu Beichuan and Zhang Tieniu sighed and stepped lightly in unison.

Entering the house, Yu Beichuan took a look around. The house was very simple and the surroundings maintained the original appearance when it was built.

A table with cement bricks as pillars and two square wooden boards as the top was placed in the middle of the living room. There were several dishes and bowls placed on the table, and there was a thin, slightly black crack on one of the bowls.

On four cement bricks, a beer box packaging box was placed as a stool. To describe this family as having bare walls is not an exaggeration.

"I'm neglecting our guests," the old man explained sheepishly. He was a retired primary school teacher in a rural area. His son had been suffering from chronic diseases for many years and had returned to poverty due to illness. The couple had gone out to work and had not returned. The family was a typical family with left-behind children.

"It's okay, it's okay," Yu Beichuan did not look down upon the poverty of the elderly family. He smiled and nodded, and sat directly on the cement brick stool.

The little boy was not afraid of strangers at all. It was probably because there had been no guests for a long time. As soon as he entered the house, he and Zhang Tieniu stuck together. Zhang Tieniu picked up the little boy on his back, and the two of them giggled and played.

After a simple conversation, the direction was clarified. Yubeichuan and the others were indeed right. This place is still about 300 kilometers away from S city.

"Thank you, old man..." Yu Beichuan stood up and said goodbye.

"Guest, wait a minute, it's not too late to stay and have a light meal before leaving," the old man insisted on requesting, eating before leaving, and said to himself, "It's a pleasure to have guests from far away."

"Then..." Yubeichuan, who could not resist the hospitality, stayed.

A bowl of hot instant noodles is dinner for Yu Beichuan and Zhang Tieniu, while dinner for the elderly and children is a bowl of white porridge with a clear bottom.

Seeing the little boy looking longingly at the fast-food noodles in front of them, the old man sheepishly took a few noodles from the Yubeichuan bowl and gave them to the child, shaking his head and sighing. The guests laughed and laughed.

Seeing the little boy happily eating noodles seriously, Yu Beichuan felt a faint pain in his heart, "I must do something for them." He thought to himself.

There were not many people in the small village, with a population of about a hundred. Yubeichuan glanced at him, and Zhang Tieniu, who understood what he meant, went out carrying two black iron short sticks.

Yu Beichuan stood on the roof of the building. He was thinking a lot and looked into the distance...
