Chapter 853 Backer Village (2)
Early the next morning, the four of them arrived at Kaoshan Village.
The agreement was for two days, but in order to prevent things from happening, the four of them set off one day early, but also slowed down their journey and did not enter the mountain village until the morning.
Kaoshan Village, as the name suggests, is a small village near the foot of the mountain. The people here are not rich. They live in mud houses made of thatch and concrete. Some of them are even ventilated and not warm. Fortunately, there is an earthen kang. , it is not difficult to survive this long winter.
Most of the people in the village are hard-working. No, as soon as the sun comes up, you can see women sweeping the snow with brooms.
As soon as they saw a carriage entering the village, everyone looked over curiously. Some even gathered around and pointed at the carriage.
Gu Panxia looked at the scene in front of her, remembering her life in Yuehe Village, and couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth in her eyes.
The four of them didn't know where they were going, so they had to stop on the trail.
Lu Yuan got off the carriage first, followed closely by Gu Panxia and Mo Xue.
The villagers knew that these four people were either rich or noble when they saw that although they looked ordinary, they were dressed in silk and satin that they were reluctant to buy, as well as fox fur cloaks, and were riding in carriages.
As early as they came in, some smart people ran to tell the village chief.
No, I saw an old man wearing a gray cotton coat, followed by a group of people, large and small, walking over.
"The village chief is here!"
Someone shouted. Gu Panxia looked up and saw the scene in front of her.
Before she could make any move, she heard the leader of the old man say politely but defensively: "I wonder who these people are, and why did they suddenly come to our mountain village?"
This old man is a spiritual cultivator, and his strength is still at the intermediate level of Bai Ling. Gu Panxia narrowed his eyes almost undetectably.
Unexpectedly, this small mountain village actually has a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
While they were sizing up the old man, the old man was also sizing them up.
Seeing that he could only see through Mo Xue's strength, but not the other three's, a complex emotion flashed through the old man's eyes.
I can't see clearly. There are only two possibilities. Either these three people are not spiritual cultivators, or their strength is greater than mine.
The old man felt a little uneasy in his heart. As he said, it was just that those three people were not spiritual cultivators. At least that Huang Ling girl was more than enough for him to deal with.
But if those three people are also spiritual cultivators...
That would be a bit difficult!
The old man's heart sank slightly, and he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that they were not here to cause trouble!
Mu Qing stepped forward and bowed slightly to the old man: "We are passing guests. We are a little tired after a day's journey, so we want to find a place to rest for a long time."
"So that's it!"
The old man nodded suddenly, but there was still some vigilance in his heart.
Lu Yuan also stepped forward at this time, bowed slightly to the old man, and said sincerely: "I am disturbing you because I can't help myself. Please forgive me, village chief!"
Seeing that they were speaking calmly and with sincerity on their faces, the old man felt that the remaining suspicion in his heart had faded a little.
The old man trimmed his beard and said with a smile: "There is not a good place in the village. If you don't mind it, there is a family in our village. All the young people in the family have gone to the town to find work, leaving only two old people and an empty house. There are a few others, but they are a bit shabby.”
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I'm not afraid of being simple. It's better than blowing the cold wind outside."
When the old man heard this, he laughed loudly, waved the other villagers to leave, and then led the four people to their destination.
