Chapter 220 The Secret of Taoyuan


Chapter 220 The Secret of Taoyuan

“Squeak.”

A man over forty years old opened the door and came to the yard. When he saw Hong Da and Liu Xun, his eyes were peaceful at first. It was difficult to conceal his joy when he arrived at Liu Xun.

"We are really guests!" The village chief quickly opened the courtyard door and said enthusiastically: "Come in and rest, come in."

He turned to Hongdao again: "Hongdao , go and tell every household to kill an animal to entertain the guests!”

If the people in the wilderness outside knew about such a grand welcome, they would probably feel ashamed.

Hong Dalian nodded, rubbed his hands and got ready.

Liu Xun looked the village chief up and down. He looked very much like the village chief he saw in his previous life who was too old to walk.

I didn’t expect that he would be the village chief so many years ago.

"Guest, sit down quickly." Village chief Zhang Zhonggui enthusiastically helped Liu Xun sit down, then sat on the wooden stool opposite him, and called his mother-in-law to pour a bowl of tea.

"Are the guests coming from outside?" Zhang Zhonggui asked.

Liu Xun nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Zhonggui seemed to have countless doubts. He considered for a moment: "What year is it outside, or is Fushan Sect ruling this area?"< br>
Liu Xun I was asked like this in my previous life. At first I didn’t know which Fushan Sect Zhang Zhonggui was talking about. Later, I accidentally read a classic when I went out and found out that Fushan Sect was a large mountain gate in the north of Baiyu at the beginning of modern times. It later declined and disappeared. No wonder Liu Xun didn't know.

From these words, we can know that the people in Taoyuan Village should have lived here in the early modern times, and have never had contact with the outside world since then.

Seeing Liu Xun shaking his head, the village chief, who was still in his prime, sighed. He no longer knew how long his ancestors had been living here.

After asking about things outside for a moment, the village chief changed the subject: "I wonder how long the guest plans to stay here?"

His eager eyes seemed to hope that Liu Xundo would Stay for a while.

Liu Xun knew the intention behind his words, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "I've been bothering the village chief for many days."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Zhonggui narrowed his eyes with a smile.

A flowing-water mat was placed in the center of the village. The livestock slaughtered by each family were made into dishes and placed on the flowing-water mat to entertain the guest Liu Xun.

Taoyuan Village has not had a visitor for a long time.

After eating and drinking, Liu Xun wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth and looked at the Taoyuan villagers who were also eating.

He was looking for the later temple to bless the blind mother-in-law.

The current temple blessing is not blind, it should be the previous generation of temple blessing before the blind mother-in-law.

What Liu Xun is looking for should be a young girl.

But people change a lot as they age, and it is difficult to distinguish their appearance unless they are close people.

Liu Xun was only familiar with the appearance of his blind mother-in-law, but could not recognize her appearance when she was young.

Fortunately, Liu Xun knew the name and could always find it as long as he took the time.

Liu Xun withdrew his gaze, exchanged glasses with the village chief, and drank another glass of wine.

"I wonder what Brother Xun thinks of the women in the village?" Village leader Zhang Zhonggui burped from wine, spoke with a drunken look, and asked an irrelevant question.

The important point came to Liu Xun's heart. He put down the wine bottle and raised his eyes and said: "They are all very good. They are simple and kind. Although they cannot be called Xiaojiabiyu, they can still live a good life."

" Okay, okay!" Zhang Zhonggui put the wine bottle on the table and put his hand on Liu Xun's shoulder, looking excited.

I don’t know whether he was excited or too drunk. He mumbled for a moment but didn’t say a word.

He clapped his hands and motioned for the people below to help Liu Xun.

The two young girls looked at each other and came forward shyly. Zhang Zhonggui whispered a few words in their ears.

Two girls came over to help Liu Xun, their faces turned red with embarrassment, as if they were feeling very shy thinking about what they were going to do next.

Liu Xun avoided the girl, raised the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine and drank.

Zhang Zhonggui was startled. He was also a human spirit. He could tell that Liu Xun understood the meaning, but why did he reject the girl?

“Brother Xun, don’t you like it?” Zhang Zhonggui suddenly laughed obscenely: “I know.”

He clapped his hands again, and the two women who were nearby suddenly stood up.

The two women are plump and have peach-shaped faces. They are not as shy as the two girls. They are people who have been here before, so why would they be shy about this?

The husbands of the two women were still sitting next to them, but they did not feel anything wrong and even looked at their wives with approval.

Seeing this, Liu Xun closed his eyes and felt ridiculous in his heart.

"I'm not a good wife." Liu Xunbao took a sip of wine and shook his head to reject the ridiculous move of the Taoyuan people.

Girls are ridiculous, women are ridiculous, men are ridiculous, and this village chief is also ridiculous.

But this is also related to Taoyuan Village.

In his previous life, Liu Xun lingered in this ridiculous place, and there were many charms.

But he has no roots in this life. Perhaps he can eliminate the influence of the rootless bugs and return to his original state later, but there is currently no way.

Fengyue has nothing to do with Liu Xun for the time being.

This is not the purpose of his trip. The primary purpose is the red rope.

The isolation of Taoyuan allows the people in the village to avoid danger, but it is also a kind of confinement.

A kind of imprisonment for the continuation of life.

The ancestors of Taoyuan lived here, with different surnames and different bloodlines, so they can be continued.

But after many years, from ancient times to the present, the bloodlines in Taoyuan Village have become the same, and they can be called close relatives.

The offspring of consanguineous marriages are often handicapped, and there are very few children without diseases.

The only way to break this bad luck is to marry an outsider.

But Taoyuan is isolated from the world, so where did the intermarriage come from?

So foreign men like Liu Xun have become the most distinguished guests!

The village chief's move was just to continue the bloodline of the village. It would be best to let Liu Xun sow more seeds to change the situation of the next generation with disabilities.

There were a few people like Liu Xun who accidentally entered Taoyuan in the past.

Otherwise Taoyuan would not be able to continue to this day.

Liu Xun recalled a rumor he saw when he was looking through the Fushan Sect's records in his previous life. In a city under the Fushan Sect's rule, there was a legend of the Peach Blossom Spring.

At that time, the landscape outside Taoyuan was still a river, and there were villages and cities nearby.

The man was a fisherman from the city outside. He strayed into Taoyuan while fishing, and ended up being a guest of Taoyuan.

I stayed among the flowers every day and worked hard to sow seeds. When I returned later, my health was not as good as before, and I died of illness soon after.

When the fisherman returned, he told the city lord about the Peach Blossom Spring, hoping to exchange it for promotion.

When the city lord heard this, he was very interested, so he led his soldiers to follow the fisherman and took a boat to find the Peach Blossom Spring.

However, when the fisherman brought his people back, he found that the traces he had walked before had been wiped away, and it was difficult to tell which tributary he had entered the Peach Blossom Spring from.

The city lord felt that the fisherman was playing tricks on him, so he punished him severely. His body, which had been hollowed out for a long time, could not withstand the punishment, and he soon died on the bed, leaving only the legend of Peach Blossom Spring.

Liu Xun guessed that the head of Taoyuan Village at that time was afraid that the fisherman would cause trouble, so he wiped out the traces of the fisherman, so as to prevent Taoyuan Village from suffering disaster again.

Taoyuan’s story is true, now it’s Liu Xun’s turn to experience it.

If Liu Xun told Zhang Zhonggui about Wugen, he was afraid that the Taoyuan Village Chief would immediately fall out.

Liu Xunzi cannot be stupid enough to say that the purpose of his trip has not been achieved yet.

"It's not that I don't like it, but it's just that I'm a little tired from the long journey." Liu Xun was a master of Fengyue in his previous life, so he picked up the words at his fingertips.

After hearing this explanation, Zhang Zhonggui felt that it was very reasonable.

That’s right. Which man doesn’t like being romantic?

Maybe the guests are tired and can’t be interested.

Zhang Zhonggui’s smile grew brighter, he patted Liu Xun on the shoulder and said, “Then go to bed early and we’ll talk about it later. We’ll talk about it later.”

Liu Xun put down the wine bottle and smiled happily: "I'm going to bother the village chief these days."

"No problem, no problem, hahaha." Zhang Zhonggui looked like he was in trouble. He wished Liu Xun would mention it more. It's a requirement.

It is best to ask for Fengyue.
