After seeing nothing unusual around them, Chen Zhi and the others began to tentatively walk towards the village.
The village looked very cold from a distance. Chen Zhi couldn't feel any aura in the village from the outside. It was like a deserted village, which was in sharp contrast to the bustling tourist area.
Just when Chen Zhi and the others were about to walk out of the forest, they suddenly saw a sharp arrow shot down from the tree, hitting Chen Zhi and the others directly at their feet and piercing deeply into the soil!
"I didn't expect you guys to actually come? I've been waiting for you since the morning, cluck cluck~~~~~~",
Following a burst of crisp laughter, a bright red figure floated past the tree in front of her. Yingzi jumped down from the tree briskly and landed in front of Chen Zhi.
At this moment, Yingzi is still dressed as yesterday, with a bow and arrow on her back, bright and shining eyes, and a slight pout on her cute little mouth.
She is a typical girl who grew up in the mountains, with no makeup on her face, wearing a set of bright red homespun clothes, and a silver lock collar hanging around her fair neck.
"Little sister, we are really here. As we agreed yesterday, don't throw us outside~~~~~"
Fat Wei has always been very interested in lolita. When he saw Yingzi, he immediately approached her with a playful smile.
Yingzi smiled reluctantly at Fat Wei, and then looked at Ding Ning and Mina, the newcomers today. Mina's blond hair was very eye-catching, and Yingzi couldn't help but say:
"Oh! There are foreigners. This is really new. We have never had foreigners in our village! Come with me, everyone. I've made tea at home. I'll make lunch in a minute. It's great.
No worse than those farmyards down the mountain!"
After Yingzi finished speaking, he smiled, waved enthusiastically to everyone, and ran briskly to lead the way.
"Great, let's go..."
The happiest person was Ding Ning. He was the first to rush forward and followed Yingzi into the village with a few bounds.
Chen Zhi did not move. He glanced at Ji Ying beside him and said with his lips:
"Did you hear the sound when she was in the tree just now?"
"It's very tiny, just like the wind blowing a leaf!" Ji Ying replied softly, but her expression was very solemn. After taking a complicated look at Yingzi in front of her, she said,
"Clan leader, be careful, she is too light..."
Chen Zhi nodded and said nothing more, and a group of people followed Yingzi into the village.
When they came to the iron railings of the outer wall, Yingzi jumped in in a few steps, as if he had no feeling for the iron railings.
Chen Zhi gently touched the iron bars with his hand. They felt cold to the touch. The outside of the rusty iron bars was indeed plated with iron stone.
Although this village looks desolate on the outside, it is a lively scene after entering the village. There are not many people in the village, but everyone has a smile on their face. Chen Zhi saw those who were holding bows and arrows yesterday.
men, and many women and children.
After the men with bows and arrows saw Chen Zhi and the others, their attitudes were no longer as stiff as they were yesterday. Perhaps Yingzi had already communicated with them yesterday, so when they saw Chen Zhi and the others again, the attitudes of these men became very
friendly.
Yingzi chatted with them all the way. Chen Zhi learned that Yingzi was an orphan in this village. She grew up eating hundreds of meals and the people in the village were very good to her.
Chen Zhi's team walked into the old house of Yingzi's family. Immediately there were women from other families outside, carrying chickens and ducks to slaughter and cook.
The children in the village also came to join in the fun and stood outside the door to look at the new arrivals from other villages, as well as the blond Mina.
Through subsequent conversations, Chen Zhi learned about the situation in some villages from the side. Their village is called Hongding Village. It is probably related to the fact that the people in their village like to wear red clothes. There is a kind of wild flower and fruit on the mountain that can be dyed bright red. Their bodies
The red clothes I wear are all hand-woven and dyed red by myself.
And these people on the mountain really have no contact with the people below the mountain. Since they are not good at dealing with outsiders, the state takes special care of them and makes the area on the top of the mountain completely under their own private management. No idlers are allowed to enter, and they do not need to pay taxes.
There is no need to cooperate with the national tourism plan, and they are allowed to set up a mountain patrol team, and the country will give them salary every year.
Therefore, the economy of Hongding Village has not developed. It is precisely for this reason that many old scenes have been retained here.
"How about it, I said you are right! If you say we are monsters, it is the people at the bottom of the mountain who are trying to fool you~~~~"
As Yingzi spoke, he poured tea for Chen Zhi and the others. The tea bowls were as big as small basins.
"Those people at the bottom of the mountain are full of nonsense, saying that the people on the top of the mountain are evil people with bad tempers. We never argue with them. Justice is in the heart of the people. You have also seen that the people on the top of the mountain are all evil people.
How are people different from them?"
"Of course, of course, I think you people on the mountain are much prettier than those at the foot of the mountain, especially you~~" Fat Wei flattered with a playful smile.
While Fat Wei was talking to Yingzi, Chen Zhi stood up and walked around Yingzi's house.
Eiko's home is a very old stone house. It is different from the common stone bungalows in the mountains. This kind of house is very carefully stacked, and the stones are polished very smooth, just like stone bricks, and the interspersed ones are quite Kyoto.
style.
Judging from the style and style, it should have been built before the early Yuan Dynasty. It is quite similar to the style of the Song Dynasty barracks. There are some unobtrusive grottoes on the windows and windowsills.
But Chen Zhi knew the purpose of these caves. It was an ancient military construction technique, just like the ancient Great Wall. Guns and cannons could be placed in the caves to deal with external attacks.
The furniture in Yingzi's house is very simple, consisting of wooden cabinets one after another with copper plates on the edges. The cabinets and coffee tables are more elegant, especially the bed. Although this is Sichuan, the bed is habitually next to the wall.
Bian, at first glance, it is the habit of the old Manchus.
Seeing that Fat Wei and Yingzi were still chatting in the house, Chen Zhi took the opportunity to walk outside to the yard.
The yard is full of people, with children running around. Although the mountain people here are not very expressive, they have very enthusiastic smiles on their faces. They are washing rice and killing chickens outside to prepare lunch for Chen Zhi and others.
Chen Zhi walked to the back of the yard silently, and saw a lot of debris scattered in the back of the yard. Chen Zhi noticed that there were many wooden piles lying horizontally in the pig pen. The wooden piles had been damaged and could not be seen.
The prototype is out, and it is full of debris.
Chen Zhi jumped into the pig pen and touched the wooden piles. He found that the wooden piles were made of northern wood. There were many regular dents on them, and there were also handle marks that had fallen off. They were the martial arts practitioners in the military camp practicing their fists and kicks.
wooden stakes used.
After seeing all this, Chen Zhi looked back at the men and women in the courtyard. The red clothes on those men, women and children were so dazzling, as if they were dyed red by blood. Chen Zhi's heart suddenly tightened.
For a moment, he felt like he was back in the Egyptian basement again...
