Seeing Chen Xuan standing up and turning around and leaving, Xiaolian hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, where are you going?"
"Go to where I should go."
After Chen Xuan said this, he was about to go out.
Xiaolian, despite her foot injury, ran to Chen Xuan and stopped him: "Brother Chen, you saved me on the mountain road and cured my foot injury. I didn't have time to repay you,
How could you leave so quickly? Stay for a meal.”
"Yes, young man, I think you haven't had a good meal for many days. Why don't you stay for a meal tonight and have another good rest?" Aunt Zhen also persuaded.
Seeing that Xiaolian and Aunt Zhen are so sincere, Chen Xuan couldn't refuse.
"Okay, then I'll stay for a meal."
When Chen Xuan agreed, Xiaolian, Aunt Zhen and Uncle Yuan looked at each other, and they all smiled.
While Aunt Zhen and Uncle Yuan were cooking, Xiaolian accompanied Chen Xuan and walked around the village.
At this time, the sun sets, and the Qinling Mountains under the twilight are even more magnificent and charming.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but be amazed as the villagers of Dugui Village worked hard in the sunset, with laughter and joy everywhere, and almost no one complained about the hard work.
He thought to himself that if he lived like these villagers in a mountain village isolated from the world and away from the hustle and bustle, working from sunrise to sunset, such a life would be much better than outside.
Of course, Chen Xuan is not that simple, and imagines the life in the mountain village too beautifully.
After all, Dugui Village has not yet escaped from poverty, so it is impossible to say that the villagers live a happy life.
"Brother Chen, why did you come to Qinling Mountains? And you didn't take anything with you. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble in the mountains?" Xiaolian finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
She was so curious about Chen Xuan's identity and wanted to know too much.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "If I say I'm just wandering, do you believe it?"
"But you are not like a homeless man. Are you sad because of something that you indulge yourself in such a way?" Xiaolian asked, of course because she didn't believe that Chen Xuan was really wandering.
Chen Xuan continued to smile and said, "Maybe in the eyes of others, I am tormenting myself, but in fact I enjoyed this process quite a bit. Let me tell you the truth, I came over from Xiangchu, passed by Yunnan and Guizhou, and then to your Xichuan.
, it has already walked tens of thousands of kilometers."
Xiaolian was stunned by what he said.
After a few seconds, Xiaolian said in disbelief: "Brother Chen, you are not kidding me, are you? You are alone and don't bring any food or drinks, how can you walk tens of thousands of kilometers on foot? Even if it's a marathon
I'm afraid even the champion can't do it."
"Xiao Lian, just think I'm joking." Chen Xuan smiled faintly, and did not intend to explain too much to Xiao Lian.
After all, Xiaolian is just a simple mountain village girl, and she can't understand if she explains too much to her.
At this time, the two heard Uncle Yuan’s shout: “The food is ready, come back and have a meal soon!”
Dugui Village is very small. Chen Xuan and Xiaolian could hear it clearly when Uncle Yuan shouted.
The two were about to walk back to finish their meal when a commotion suddenly came from the entrance of the village.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"
Hearing the voice of the villagers, other villagers looked towards the entrance of the village.
Chen Xuan also looked over and saw a group of ferocious men coming to the entrance of the village, and each of them was holding knives, sticks and other weapons. It was obvious that they were here to find trouble.
Seeing these people, Xiaolian hid behind Chen Xuan in fear: "Brother Chen, among those people, a few of them just wanted to steal my Cordyceps sinensis medicinal farmers!"
"Oh? They are them?" Chen Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this. "These medicinal farmers have actually chased them to the village."
"They have so many people coming and they are carrying weapons. What should I do now? I'm afraid my medicinal materials can't be saved!" Xiaolian shivered with fear.
Chen Xuan calmly comforted: "Don't worry, check the situation first."
After the medicinal farmers who were looking for trouble appeared, Uncle Yuan and Aunt Zhen ran out immediately and protected Xiaolian so that the medicinal farmers would not recognize her.
He heard a leading medicinal farmer ask fiercely: "Call out all the girls around 18 years old in your village!"
"Why? Our Dugui Village has not offended you, why are you here to find trouble?" A young villager responded bluntly.
The leading medicinal farmer snorted coldly: "Two hours ago, a girl stole a total of twenty Cordyceps sinensis from our medicine field! We traced your Dugu Village based on the traces she left behind when she escaped. Now I have it.
If you have a reason to suspect that girl, you will hide in your village!”
When Chen Xuan heard this, he felt a little confused.
Xiaolian said that she had picked a Cordyceps sinensis and was targeted by these medicinal farmers to force her to seize it, but what the medicinal farmers said was completely the opposite.
Of course, seeing these evil medicinal farmers, Chen Xuan was more willing to believe Xiaolian, thinking that these evil medicinal farmers were just making excuses to go to the village to grab medicinal materials.
"Although our Dugui Village is very poor, it is impossible to steal medicinal materials. Please leave immediately!" the toughest villager said coldly.
The leading medicinal farmer snorted again: "Then don't blame us for being rude, go into the village and search for me!"
Just when the two sides were about to have a conflict, an old white-haired villager came out to smooth things out and said, "Young people should not be too impulsive. You can discuss things when you have something, and you can discuss things when you have something!"
"Are you the village chief?" The leader of the medicinal farmer looked at the old villager, and then his tone was slightly relieved, "Old man, our Baicaomen doesn't want to take too tough measures, but those twenty Cordyceps sinensis are our years of hard work.
, It was stolen like this, you said, how can I not be in a hurry? If I can’t find that girl, I don’t know how to go back and explain to the sect leader!”
"Are you from Baicaomen?" The old villager was very surprised, "I am indeed the village chief of Dugui Village, and I have heard that you Baicaomen never oppress the villages at the foot of the mountain, so this matter should be resolved peacefully, so that's how,
I will let you go into the village to search, but you must respect the villagers and not do anything randomly.”
"Okay, then let's make up, brothers, go into the village and see where the thief girl is? Remember to be polite to the villagers when searching, don't search randomly." The leader's medicine farmer gave the order, and all the medicine farmers behind him went to the village.
Walk away.
Xiaolian hurriedly hid in the room and stayed in the same room with Chen Xuan, while Uncle Yuan and Aunt Zhen were outside dealing with the medicinal farmers.
Chen Xuan looked at the scared Xiaolian, thought for a while and asked, "Xiaolian, do you know Baicao Sect?"
"I heard Uncle Yuan say that Baicaomen is an ancient Chinese medicine sect in the Qinling area. There are a lot of medicinal materials in the sect, but I really don't know that those medicinal farmers are from Baicaomen. Now that I'm done, my Cordyceps sinensis is sected.
