Lin Haoming immediately smiled and said: "Village Chief, you are really right. It is because of this relationship that the traitor did not find out that my brother joined the team. My brother is very skilled, right?" Lin Haoming said deliberately.
He patted the man named Hu Liang.
"It's amazing, it's amazing." The village chief smiled awkwardly. Then he looked at the place where the person was buried and asked, "You buried this person?"
"The car that sent us will come to pick us up in five days. We will take the body away with us at that time. You can't bring the body into the village. It will scare people." Hu Liang also said with a smile, these guys just now
He looks aloof, but things are changing rapidly at this moment. Sure enough, it is not easy to be able to participate in such a task.
It seemed that the matter was covered up with excuses, so the village chief took two villagers and took him to the village.
When he was approaching the village, Huacang, the only person here who seemed to be in his forties, took out a document from his bag and gave it to him.
After seeing the official document, the village chief felt really relieved and began to talk about the situation in the village.
It turned out that someone in the village knocked out the famous red rocks here and made some handicrafts for sale outside. As a result, someone discovered that these rocks may be derived from mineral veins, so a scientific expedition team was sent.
This mountain village is among the mountain villages in the Red Valley. It is almost surrounded by mountains. There are two streams flowing down the mountains, and finally merge into the small lake in the valley. Almost all the people in the village rely on this small lake.
To make a living, the fields are all around the lake. Although they are not very extensive, the land around the lake is fertile and is enough to support the people in the village.
The village is next to the fields and is almost built with red clay bricks and wood. It looks very beautiful from a distance.
There is a very special white building in the middle of the village. It was obviously built with materials brought in from outside. The villagers' houses only have two floors at most, and most of them are one floor, but this white building is at least as high as three floors.
, but it’s not a small building.
"Village chief, what's the house in the middle?" Lin Haoming asked with a smile as soon as he entered the village.
"Oh, you said that over there, that's our sacrificial temple. Twice every spring and autumn, our village holds sacrificial rituals. This year's autumn festival is about to start. It will be very lively. You guys are just in luck." The village chief laughed.
Hehe said.
"Really? Then you really need to feel it." After hearing this, Niu Hong expressed with a smile, and several other people looked at each other, and everyone realized that something bad would probably happen to this so-called sacrifice.
Maybe a few people will die by then.
"By the way, you arrived at noon, did you have lunch?" Village Chief Niu asked.
"I've eaten." Malan agreed with a smile.
"In our village, we usually have lunch when the sun is about to set. When we came out to pick them up, several meals in the village had already been prepared." Village Chief Niu explained with a smile.
Lin Haoming also nodded, and learned from the background information that people in this world only eat two main meals a day, namely lunch and lunch.
There are twelve hours in a day in this world, and they are also arranged according to the earthly branches. To put it simply, Ji hour is usually from nine to ten o'clock, and Shen hour is from three to four o'clock in the afternoon. And here
It seems to be a little later.
It's probably just after noon and Shen Shi has just arrived. There is a watch here, but the watch is based on twelve hours. Each hour is divided into eight scales, and one scale represents a quarter of an hour. But I don't have a watch on me, Niu.
Hong has one on his wrist, Ma Lan has one, and Huacang also has one. They are obviously in his bag. In his backpack, apart from instruments, there are only clothes and some notebooks and pens. He looks like a handyman in the team. The only good thing is that he has one on his wrist.
There is a folding knife, but it is very small. When folded, it is not as long as my own hand, but it can still be regarded as a weapon.
Entering the village, because it was just the harvest season, the weather was a little cold, but not too cold. Every household was busy and festive, and many people were collecting the grains that had been preliminarily dried.
Put it in a bag.
"The weather is good this year, and it seems that the village will have a good harvest." Niu Hong also said this with a smile.
The village chief nodded along with him, but quickly said: "This year is going to be a good year. After the goods are collected in the past two days, everyone will also prepare for the sacrifice. The day after tomorrow will be the first step of our sacrifice, digging the sacred mud. If you don't
If you’re busy, you can come and take a look.”
"Digging for divine mud?" Niu Hong asked curiously.
The village chief explained with a smile: "It is to dig out lake mud from our red lake. Don't underestimate this lake mud. It is the treasure that has nourished our village for generations. Every spring, we dig out lake mud to make the sky and the earth."
Only by scrapping can we get a good harvest."
"Village chief, you are right." Several others also echoed.
At this time, as the village chief had entered the depths of the village, some people passing by would also ask, but they seemed to know that a scientific expedition team was coming, so they did not arouse any curiosity. However, several people clearly felt that many villagers were suspicious of them.
People don't seem very satisfied.
Not long after, the village chief took everyone to a house. The house looked like it had just been vacated. Although it was a mud house, it was still clean. The kitchen should be in the room, which was busy inside.
When you walk in, you will find a large hall with a large table where you can eat and talk.
Lin Haoming walked to the kitchen and saw three village women busy cooking in the back. Upstairs were three rooms of different sizes. The two larger rooms had three beds, and the small room had two. It was originally for
Eight people prepared it, but now there is one less person.
The village chief also came up and said with a smile: "This is a place to live. Two ladies can live in one room. You can allocate among the remaining gentlemen. In a rural mountain village, the conditions are not as good as those in the city. Please bear with me."
, By the way, my two sons will come over tomorrow. My younger son is also studying in the city, and my eldest son is also working in the city. My mother-in-law, eldest daughter-in-law, and eldest granddaughter are cooking downstairs. What do you want to eat?
, even though the village is simple, we can do our best as we can, and you are all the ones who bring blessings to the village."
Listening to these words, Lin Haoming suddenly felt a little strange. In addition to the village chief, there were two other people who came to greet him just now. Although the two people did not introduce much, they sounded like they were also prominent figures in the village. Now they are not the village chief.
As they talked, several people seemed to want to know some reasons. It seemed that many villagers in the village were somewhat hostile before, and the village chief was so enthusiastic that he didn't even take care of the murder when he saw it. There were some special reasons.
