The provincial capital of Xinzhou is also a high-rise building, a standard modern city, basically no different from Tianjin, except that you can occasionally see some unique local buildings.
"There is nothing interesting in the city. All the fun and delicious food are in the suburbs."
"I know a place where you can eat, drink, and have fun. It's like a paradise on earth. Do you want to go and see it?"
Agou warmly recommends it.
"If you recommend the three of us to spend money there, we should earn a lot of commission, right?"
Xiao Feng asked with a cold smile.
"No, no, just make some hard money."
"If you three feel uncomfortable, we can leave immediately. The fare will be charged separately."
Agou Daluobo's face was neither red nor white, and he was not embarrassed at all.
"Okay, let's go and have a look."
Hua Murong agreed again.
The Buick drove along the country road into the distance.
This road is full of natural beauty, with blue sky, white clouds, mountains and water. It is far away from the urban area and back to nature.
The two girls were very happy, chattering and laughing all the way.
Especially Bing Ling, she almost never goes out and stays at home and in the martial arts gym every day. This trip can be considered a way to let herself go.
Seeing Bing Ling's happy look, Xiao Feng also smiled.
This girl has too much hatred accumulated in her heart. She usually has a cold face and rarely smiles.
Today she smiled like a child, innocent and beautiful.
That's fine, just relax first and then get down to business.
"arrive!"
The Buick drove for more than four hours and arrived at a small village at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Outside the village, there is a long dirt road with various small vendors on both sides of the road.
There are only a few tourists here, and the rest are local villagers.
They were wearing red and green clothes, carrying things on their heads, and hanging all kinds of accessories on their bodies. They looked like ethnic minorities at first glance.
"This should be a Miao village, right?"
After getting off the car, Xiao Feng asked in a low voice.
"Brother, you have good eyesight. This is the ancient Miao village."
"Here you will eat authentic Miao cuisine, taste Miao wine, and even be accompanied by Miao beauties."
"Hehe...this is happiness that you will never enjoy in the north."
Agou bared his teeth and smiled evilly.
"Hurry up, I'm starving to death."
Hua Murong desperately picked up Bing Ling and ran into the market.
This small market may not look big, but it sells a wide variety of things, including all kinds of weird snacks and all kinds of Miao jewelry.
You can even see snake sellers setting up a stall on the ground with several bamboo cages, and the bamboo cages contain snakes.
But they are not highly venomous snakes. They are basically eaten. Some local people love to eat snake meat and even entertain guests with snake feasts.
The two girls were eating while walking along the road. This ethnic snack is really eye-catching.
Hua Murong even bought two roasted spiders, insisting that Bing Ling and Xiao Feng also try them.
"No, you can eat it yourself."
Xiao Feng decisively refused.
Bing Ling also shook her head repeatedly. Not to mention eating these eight-legged insects, her scalp felt numb just looking at them.
"Tch, two cowards."
Hua Murong broke off a spider leg, chewed it in her mouth, and nodded happily.
"Yeah! It's really good. It smells much better than cockroaches."
"Ah? Have you ever eaten cockroaches?"
Xiao Feng said in surprise.
"What a fuss!"
"Cockroaches are high in protein and very nutritious. You are a Chinese medicine practitioner and you don't understand this bit of common sense."
Hua Murong rolled her eyes at him.
"There are so many things that can supplement protein, why should I eat cockroaches?"
"Who is like you? You can take a bite of something even a dog won't eat."
Xiao Feng snorted coldly.
"You dare to hurt me, you brat? Let me eat you."
Hua Murong picked up the spider and stuffed it into his mouth, and the two of them started fighting in the street.
Agou followed the three of them, staring closely at the two girls, with an evil light flashing from the corner of his eyes.
He picked up his cell phone and made a call, whispering: "Boss, the goods have arrived, and they are top quality. You have to pay me more..."
When Bing Ling and Hua Murong were walking in front, suddenly, an old woman in a blue dress blocked their way.
"Haha...the two girls are so pretty. Are you here for a trip?"
The old woman smiled with wrinkles all over her face.
"Well! Auntie, are you okay?"
Bing Ling asked.
"I'm from the resort not far ahead."
"In this entire ancient Miao village, I am the only one, and the rest are all small houses."
"Our fees are cheap, we provide three meals a day, and there is a Miao dance in the evening."
"It allows you to experience the most authentic Miao life and is guaranteed to satisfy the two girls."
The old woman took the initiative to take out a leaflet and handed it over.
Hua Murong took it and saw that the price was really cheap. It only cost 150 yuan per person per day. This was definitely a bargain.
The brochure also has photos of the resort, with various delicacies and elegant surroundings. It really feels like a paradise on earth.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Feng came over from behind.
"I said, where should we stay tonight?"
Hua Murong asked.
"I don't care, you two can decide."
Xiao Feng said indifferently.
Hua Murong asked Bing Ling again, she didn't have any choice, she could live anywhere.
"Agou, how is their villa? Is it as good as advertised?"
Hua Murong called Agou over and asked in a low voice.
“I heard it’s pretty good, but I’ve never stayed there.”
"Look at those tourists, they all go to stay in the villa."
Agou stretched out his hand and pointed.
Hua Murong turned around and saw four young men and women, followed by an old woman in a blue dress, walking into the village.
These two old women, except for their slightly different looks, were dressed exactly the same. They should be the work clothes of the resort.
"Okay, we'll stay here."
Hua Murong readily agreed.
Then Xiao Feng, the three of them, plus Agou, followed the old woman into the ancient village of Miaojiang.
The natural scenery here is so beautiful that it makes people feel mesmerized, but it also has a hint of coolness.
There is an uneven stone road at your feet, and the locals live in small wooden houses, also called stilt houses.
There are mountain roads here, and wooden houses are located one next to another, spreading across the entire mountain range.
Because the woods are dense, the sunlight is not that bright.
The whole village was very quiet. I didn't even see anyone while walking. I only saw a few dogs lying motionless at the door.
"Where have all the people in this village gone?"
Hua Murong couldn't help but ask.
"All the young people are at the market. The rest in the village are the elderly and children, and most of them are taking a nap."
The old woman grinned and replied.
"Oh, no wonder!"
Hua Murong nodded, took out her phone and took a few photos.
Xiao Feng didn't say much during the whole journey. He kept observing the surrounding situation with his eyes.
This village gave him a very strange feeling, even a little weird?
But he couldn't tell what was wrong specifically, it just wasn't normal.
"Brother Feng, what's wrong?"
Bing Ling saw that his expression was wrong and asked in a low voice.
"Don't you think...this village is weird?"
Xiao Feng asked back.
"No, what's wrong?"
"This is life in the valley, it's normal."
Bing Ling grew up in Baihua Palace, a place that was even more deserted than this. There was not even a single person to be seen within a radius of dozens of miles, only wild beasts and poisonous insects.
