Chapter 144 Qingniu Village, Aboriginals
Several people nodded, and Bai Fuling became even happier.
Since I heard someone calling Qinghe at the entrance of the village, does that mean Qinghe is from this village?
Bai Fuling immediately ran over, stood in front of the stone engraved with the village name, and looked at it for three seconds.
When Bai Fuling thought that Qingniu Village was on the other side of the stone, her heart felt bloated, as if it was filled with something.
For some reason, I feel even more timid the closer I get to home.
Probably because he has been with Qinghe for a long time and treats him as one of his own, he naturally feels that the village he lives in is more familiar.
Bai Fuling ran into the village first, but as soon as she stepped into the village, she couldn't help but frowned, so she retreated back.
Bai Fuling pointed to the village and said, "The roads in the village are very muddy, just like it rained last night, but it's dry outside the village. The rain can't just fall inside the village."
Bai Fuling was a little timid and didn't dare to take risks when encountering unusual things, so she spoke out immediately.
Hearing this, Bai Fengzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Then I'll go take a look."
Bai Fengzhi walked towards the village with big strides and came back after a while.
The soles of her feet were covered with mud mixed with grass leaves, forming a thick layer of mud. It seemed that she had walked a lot.
Bai Fengzhi lowered his head and looked at the mud under his feet. "Friend Bai is right. It did rain in the village yesterday, and there was a strong wind. Many trees on the roadside were broken. But outside the village, it is dry. There is something strange."
As he spoke, Bai Fengzhi deliberately stepped on the ground to raise the dust, then he used the cleaning technique to remove the mud off his shoes.
Liu Yuanbai's eyes immediately lit up, he looked like he was looking for treasure and was almost drooling.
He couldn't wait to stick his head into the village and was about to go in. "It's not surprising what's in the secret realm. Maybe there's another world in this village. Let's go and take a look."
Bai Fengzhi couldn't stand his worthless look and rolled his eyes at him.
Li Yubai said, "Brother Liu, opportunities and dangers often coexist, so you must be cautious."
Liu Yuanbai didn't turn around, but raised his hand to indicate that he heard it.
Li Yubai turned around and told the others to be careful, then followed them into the village.
With them taking the lead, Bai Fuling felt a little more confident and followed them into the village.
After walking for about five minutes, they saw houses of varying heights, some brick houses and some adobe houses. From a distance, there were more adobe houses, but most of the courtyard walls were made of stone.
There is a river not far from the residential area. There are several big willow trees by the river. Because they are close to the river, they grow particularly lush.
When several people saw the willow tree, their hearts trembled violently.
One of these willow trees could be the original willow tree.
When they thought about the fact that the willow tree had so many clones and they were all so powerful, they felt that the willow tree's original strength must be just as terrifying.
Now that I see a real willow tree, I subconsciously become wary.
Although I’m not sure, but what if it is?
Bai Fuling clearly felt that Liu Yuanbai and the others were also nervous, and their muscles were probably tense at the moment.
The first house you enter the village is an adobe house with three main rooms, one auxiliary room on the east and west sides, and a courtyard wall on the south side, about two meters high. The wall had collapsed in the middle, and the yard was filled with stones, which were covered with fallen leaves and dead branches.
About three meters outside the south wall, there is a tree broken in half.
It looks like it was broken by the wind.
The wind broke the tree, and the broken treetops knocked down the courtyard wall.
It turns out that trees cannot be planted around houses.
As soon as this idea came up, Bai Fuling thought of her grandmother. Her grandmother lived in the countryside and built the house herself. After the house was built, her grandmother would never allow any trees to be around the house, saying that she was afraid that they would fall on the house.
It seems that grandma is indeed very foresighted.
Whenever Bai Fuling thought of her grandma, her heart felt sour and swollen.
She has come to Qinghe's village. When can she go home?
After being in the world of immortal cultivation for such a long time, she always felt out of place.
"Brother Yun, the big sect will come to our village to select disciples today. Maybe our Fubao will be selected. Stop building this broken wall and let's go over and take a look. Don't be too late to catch up."
The woman's voice brought Bai Fuling back to her senses.
It turned out that the male owner was building the courtyard wall, but the female owner urged him to go with her to watch the big sect select disciples.
Bai Fuling couldn't help but frown when she heard this.
Why would a big sect come to the village to recruit disciples? Why does it sound so unreliable? A small sect with no reputation is fine.
The hostess took off her apron, slapped it against her body twice to shake off two layers of dust. She hung the apron on the bamboo pole, straightened her clothes, and walked to the door impatiently.
She stood still at the door, obviously waiting for the male owner to join her.
The man held the stone and placed it on the wall. He pushed it left and right, trying to build the wall, and he didn't seem to be anxious because the woman was waiting for him.
He moved slowly and spoke slowly.
"Don't worry. There are so many people here that it won't be our Fubao's turn for a while. It won't be too late for us to go at noon."
"Why not? If our son is chosen, he will be a god in the future, and he will have to build a brick house for us to live in!"
The man just smiled faintly, neither refutating nor responding. It was obvious that he did not agree with what his wife said, but he did not want to argue with her.
The hostess was so angry at his stubbornness that she slapped her thigh and went back to the yard. She was about to continue talking when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Uncle Yun, Aunt Cuihua, the disciple selection is about to begin, aren't you going?" Outside the door, a little boy about seven or eight years old knocked on the door and shouted inside.
When the hostess heard this, she became even more anxious. She replied, "I understand," and quickly walked up to the host, grabbed his arm and tried to drag him away.
"Did you hear that? It has already started. We have to hurry."
The hostess grabbed the host's arm tightly. The host was unable to work. He looked at the stones that had not been placed yet with regret, then dusted himself off and followed the hostess at her urging.
What an impatient person and a slow-tempered person.
The whole family had left, so Bai Fuling and the others had no choice but to move on.
After the people walked away, Bai Fuling suddenly remembered to ask, "We didn't talk to them, can they see us?"
Li Yubai said, "Yes, I can see it. The man of that house even glanced at us twice when he passed by us."
Liu Yuanbai immediately agreed, "Yes. The hostess even urged him about this matter."
As if to prove this, when they met the villagers again, they went out of their way to greet them.
There was a little girl twisting hemp ropes under the willow tree, an old woman sewing shoe soles at the doorstep, a woman washing clothes by the river, and a young boy drawing water from the well.
They walked around the village and got to know the general terrain.
There was a river to the east of the village, a rice field to the west, the road they came from to the south, and nothing to the north.
"I guess the secret realm was divided, so there is nothing here." Liu Yuanbai said with regret.
I originally wanted to go to Taobao, but there was nothing there, just an ordinary village. But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that something was wrong.
If I have to say it, it's that this village and the people in it are simply abnormal.
Bai Fuling was very surprised, "There are actually indigenous people in this secret place, but I always feel something is weird."
Li Yubai pondered for a moment and put forward his own point of view, "They said they were selecting disciples in the village, but we went around the village for a long time and didn't see where they were selecting disciples."
