When Song Jiang and his party walked around the old grave and were about to go back, they happened to see a few half-year-old children from the village playing in the peach forest. When they saw Bai Shaofei coming with outsiders, they all ran away in fear...

When Bai Shaofei saw this, he smiled and explained, "Don't be surprised, there are very few outsiders in the village, and the children are a little afraid of strangers..."

Song Jiang sighed after hearing this, "Mr. Bai, you have also lived in the outside world. Do you really think it is right to let these children stay here? At least give them a chance to choose, right?"

Bai Shaofei looked at the backs of the children and said, "I did get such an opportunity, but what was the result? You have also seen it, don't you have to return to Taohuawu in a mess in the end? It is good to have choices.

, but if you know that one of the options is fatal, why don’t you think of a way to eliminate it?”

After hearing this, Deng Kai said in confusion, "Your reason is a bit far-fetched, isn't it? You are sick because of your own bad luck. You can't have all the children in Taohuawu like you!"

When Zhou Shiwu heard this, he quickly pushed Deng Kai, and then said apologetically, "My brother is straight-tempered, so don't mind if you don't speak to me! In fact, we are all outsiders after all, and the life we ​​choose is up to you in your village."

It’s everyone’s own business, but we definitely don’t mean these words with any malice, we just hope that your life can be better.”

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "I understand what you mean... But people have different origins and growing environments, so they naturally think about problems from different angles. Mr. Deng seems to be the kind of person who has been in a privileged family since he was a child and has not suffered much.

My child, it’s normal to have a simpler temper. I appreciate your kindness, but we have our way of life, and it shouldn’t change in a short time.”

Bai Shaofei had already talked about it for this reason, and Song Jiang and the others naturally couldn't say anything else, so they took pictures everywhere in the peach forest... Of course, their ultimate goal was to find the strong peach tree from last night

, see if there are any traces left at the scene.

But it turned out that since Bai Shaofei dared to bring them here, he was naturally not afraid of what they would find. There was indeed nothing unusual about the thick peach tree. If Deng Kai and the others hadn't seen it with their own eyes last night, they would have thought it was just nothing.

It was a nightmare I had made!

"This peach tree is so thick? It must be hundreds of years old, right?" Song Jiang touched the trunk and said with emotion.

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "This is the ancestor of the peach forest. All other peach trees are its descendants. I heard from the older generation in the village that it must be at least four or five hundred years old."

Song Jiang looked at this peach forest and said with a smile, "Actually, Taohuawu is really suitable for those who want to get rid of worldly disputes to come here to live in seclusion..."

When Bai Shaofei heard this, he smiled and said, "When did Mr. Song want to live in seclusion? You are welcome to settle in Taohuawu."

"Really?" Song Jiang asked in disbelief.

Bai Shaofei nodded and said, "Of course, if you can really let go of your secular heart like me, it wouldn't be a bad idea to settle in Taohuawu for a long time..."

After a few people randomly took a few photos, Meng Zhe suggested that it was almost time to leave. Since Meng Zhe said so, there was no need for the others to stay, so Bai Shaofei sent them all the way to the entrance of the village.

Then he watched their car leave with a smile on his face...

Song Jiang watched Bai Shaofei's figure gradually shrinking, then turned to Meng Zhe and said, "Is there any problem in that forest?"

After hearing this, Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "The other party hid it very well, I can't feel any residual breath..."

After hearing this, Deng Kai said with a disgusted look on his face, "It's impossible. Did those women eat the old lady to the point of losing her hair last night? Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?!"

While they were talking, they saw Fu Yinrong's car parked on the roadside. It seemed that they had been waiting here since they left Taohuawu, so Zhou Shiwu also stopped the car...

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Fu Yinrong and the others immediately got out of the car as soon as they saw Song Jiang and asked anxiously.

Song Jiang shook his head and said, "Not yet... We only found a few old graves in Taolin, and Bai Shaofei also said that Grandma Chang was not buried in Taolin, but in the col behind the village.

"

Fu Yinrong was surprised when he heard this, "It's impossible, that's not what Xiaojun said in the video..."

"Bai Shaofei said that their village usually only holds funerals in the peach grove, and people are eventually buried in the mountains." Song Jiang explained.

Meng Zhe said in a deep voice at this time, "We will know if we go and see it. We can walk around Taohuawu and go to the mountain col mentioned by Bai Shaofei to see if there is Mrs. Chang's new grave."

Meng Zhe's proposal immediately received a response from Fu Yinrong, because in her opinion, nothing was more important than finding her brother and the three of them, so they parked the car on the side of the road and brought enough

of water and food, and set off towards the back mountain of Taohuawu...

To say that the location of Taohuawu is indeed remote enough, Song Jiang and his party had to go through the woods and walk in the wilderness in order to avoid Taohuawu. Although it is only a dozen kilometers away from the nearest town, other than Taohuawu nearby,

There are no other people outside, and the villagers of Taohuawu often live in seclusion and rarely wander around the village.

Zhou Shiwu, who was walking at the front, used a dagger to cut off the vines blocking the road, and turned back and said, "Everyone, pay more attention to your steps when walking. There are no traces of people here, and there may be snakes and insects... Don't get bitten!"

"

Deng Kai complained after hearing this, "What kind of shabby place is this? There's not even a road... You think the people in Taohuawu are really weird. Don't they usually go outside the village to wander around? It's like leaving the village."

It will be like death."

Deng Kai's words reminded Song Jiang. He thought for a moment and said, "Do you still remember what Bai Shaofei said before about the village chief's son? He left Taohuawu many years ago and never returned. Bai Shaofei became seriously ill after leaving Taohuawu...

Is this just a coincidence?"

"You mean the reason why people in Taohuawu are unwilling to leave the village is because they can't leave at all, otherwise they will die?" Gu Hao asked doubtfully.

Song Jiang nodded and said, "This is just my guess. I need to find evidence to confirm it."

At this time, Meng Zhe, who has always been taciturn, said, "We will have the results soon when we reach the mountain col. If I guess correctly, there may be unexpected surprises waiting for us there..."

Today's update, I thought I could finally update this month with peace of mind, but yesterday my mother twisted her waist again and couldn't move, and my family members were separated in the work unit because of y...q, all in all a lot of trouble...
