Chapter 698: Illusion
The meaning expressed by Zou Ju's retort is very obvious. She knows Bo Village, and it is even possible that she is a person from Bo Village.
In this way, Chen Jing was naturally surprised and asked quickly: "Aunt Zou, do you know Bo Village?"
Zou Ju nodded slightly and responded: "I know, our village was next to Bo Village before, but it was a bit strange."
When Chen Jing heard that Zou Ju was not from Bo Village, he was a little disappointed and asked again: "Oh? What a strange method."
"A few years ago, many people from the mountain villages moved to the foot of the mountain, but the people in Bo Village were very stubborn. Except for some young people, people who were a little older were unwilling to move out. It would violate the ancestral teachings if they moved out. Do you think it was a surprise? This is the era, and you still do the same thing as before."
"And everyone knows that life can be better when moving out, and my hometown is still there, so why bother to stay in the mountains."
Chen Jing did not comment on this and instead said: "In other words, there are still people living in Bo Village now, and there are not many people?"
"There are people, but they are all old people, and the younger generation has moved out." Zou Ju responded and asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing in Bo Village? There is no scenery there, and the environment is not very good."
Chen Jing smiled: "Let's go find someone, an old friend of an elder in the family."
"Looking for someone, if you are older, you may find it."
"You're an older person, please take us there." Chen Jing also said with some joy in his tone.
To be honest, the speed at which he found Bo Village was much faster than he expected and it was much smoother.
Zou Ju didn't ask any more questions after hearing this, and replied, "Okay, I'm the guide for you anyway. I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Immediately, she and her couple walked on the mountain road for more than ten minutes, and then turned into a path next to it that was not very spacious.
"This is the path that we used to live on the mountain, and most people don't know." Zou Ju also explained to Chen Jing and Kong Xue happily.
Kong Xue asked: "Aunt Zou, how long will it take for us to go to Bo Village?"
Zou Juying said, "It's time to walk on for a while. Bo Village is in a valley, and we have to climb over a hillside to get there."
After a moment of pause, she remembered something and asked, "Who is the person you are looking for? I might know what the name is."
Chen Jing immediately said: "I don't know what the specific name is, but I know my surname is Yang."
"Uh..." Zou Ju was stunned for a moment and said with some amusement: "Mr. Chen, don't you know?"
"Don't know what?"
"The people in the entire Bo Village have the surname Yang. Their ancestors were a big family. They hid in our wild man mountains in order to avoid the war. For so many years, people with other surnames moved in, so there are only those with the surname Yang in the village." Zou Ju said happily.
When Chen Jing heard this, he immediately frowned and cursed in his heart that Jiang Laowu was still ambushing him here.
Perhaps Jiang Laowu really can't remember what the owner of the family who received the Longzi's gratitude was named, but he must still remember the surname Yang in the entire Bo Village.
But he deliberately didn't tell Chen Jing, clearly trying to disgust Chen Jing.
However, this is actually not a big problem. Even if the people in the entire Bo Village are surnamed Yang, it is almost difficult for Chen Jing to find that person. After all, there are not many people in the entire Bo Village.
He didn't know the specific name, so he was searching from door to door.
"Mr. Chen, you don't know what it is, do you have any other characteristics? For example, what does that person look like and how tall?" Zou Ju asked enthusiastically again.
Chen Jing shook his head: "No."
"Oh, then you may have to go door to door to ask later. Fortunately, there are not many people living in Bo Village now, and there are only dozens of families. As long as the person is still in the village, you can always ask. If the person is gone, there is nothing you can do." Zou Ju said so,
Chen Jing said: "Well, we have time, so there is no hurry."
Zou Ju looked up at the sky and said, "That's right, if it's too late to go down the mountain later, I'll take you to your hometown for a rest all night, which is not far from Bo Village."
"Then thank you, Aunt Zou."
The three of them chatted casually and headed towards Bo Village.
After walking through mountains and rivers for more than two hours, after climbing a hillside, a primitive mountain village built in the valley appeared in front of the three of them.
What is surprising is that even in such a remote place, the wires can still be seen. Obviously, there is electricity here, even if there are only some elderly people living in the entire village.
I can only say that I am a major infrastructure country.
"That's Bo Village. It's no one else?" Zou Ju raised her hand and said with some emotion: "Actually, when I lived on the mountain, I was a little poor, but my life was also peaceful and stable. If it weren't for the sake of future generations, I thought that many people would not want to move down the mountain."
"People always have to embrace a better life. Calmness and stability under poverty are just an illusion of luck." Chen Jing was very aware of this topic and couldn't help but say something.
When Zou Ju heard this, she was a little stunned, as if she didn't fully understand it, but she nodded with her deep understanding and said, "Yes, Mr. Chen's words make sense."
"Let's go, enter the village."
…………
Bo Village is really not big, but it is built very distinctively. The first house at the entrance of the village is the ancestral hall, with the words Yang Family Ancestral Hall written on it. However, now it seems that the ancestral hall is a bit dilapidated.
This family village that has been passed down for countless years will gradually disappear into the long river of history as the times change.
At this time, a child ran out of the village with a dog.
"Xiao Hui ran quickly, let's catch loaches." The child's voice was crisp, with joy and happiness.
But soon, the child stopped and saw the three strangers at the entrance of the village. He timidly picked up the gray puppy and stood there and did not dare to move.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
The gray dog kept calling at Chen Jing and the other two.
Seeing this, Zou Ju took two steps forward with a smile on her face and said, "Don't be afraid, I am from Datong Village next door, where is your adult?"
Maybe Zou Ju didn't look like a bad guy with a smile, or maybe the child knew about Datong Village next door, so he put down his guard and replied: "My grandfather is cooking at home, and I'll come out to catch loaches."
Chen Jing looked at the child carefully. He looked about six or seven years old. He was dressed very simply and had a dirty face. He probably thought he had just gone to play with mud and could not even knock out a boy or girl.
"That's the case, can you take us to your house? That big brother wants to find your elder brother." Zou Ju asked.
