Chapter 116 Zhelong Village, Little Peacock
"Are you okay?" Jiang Hua asked.
"Well, I'm fine."
The girl shook her head and said gratefully: "Thank you so much just now. If you hadn't saved my life, I probably wouldn't have been able to go back."
"This big brother, my name is Peacock, what is your name?"
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "My name is Jiang Hua."
"Peacock."
"Huh?"
"Are you from Zhelong Village?"
"Well, our family has lived in Zhelong Village for generations."
Peacock asked curiously: "Brother Jiang, are you here for a trip?"
"Yeah." Jiang Hua smiled and nodded, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?"
"No." Peacock shook his head.
"Brother Jiang, why did you come to Zhelong Mountain for tourism? I know that Zhelong Mountain is full of all kinds of poisonous snakes and venomous insects. It is very dangerous for you to go up there."
Jiang Hua said: "We knew the danger of Zhelong Mountain, so we wanted to come and challenge it."
He smiled and said: "Peacock, don't worry, we are sure of it. After all, who doesn't take their own lives seriously?"
Peacock thought for a moment, yes!
Who would do something that is uncertain?
However, the peacock still warned carefully: "Brother Jiang, you must be careful. If you are bitten by something, you can come to our village."
"We at Zhelong Village can deal with common poisonous insects."
Jiang Hua's heart moved when he heard Peacock's words.
He smiled and said: "Peacock, we want to take a rest in Zhelong Village and learn about the situation. Do you have a place to stay in your village?"
Peacock was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Brother Jiang, there is no place for outsiders to live in our village, but you can live in my home."
"Can I?"
"Well, only my brother and I live in my house. You saved my life, so my brother will definitely welcome you."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Peacock, I'll trouble you."
"Brother Jiang, it's okay."
Jiang Hua and the others only knew that Worm Valley was in Zhelong Mountain, but they did not know the specific information, so going to Zhelong Village to find out more could improve the success rate of this business.
Everyone was chatting.
A village appeared in front of everyone.
The peacock pointed at the village and said, "Brother Jiang, this is Zhelong Village."
Jiang Hua looked up.
The houses in this village are all wooden structures.
The bottom of each house is padded with wood.
This is because there is a lot of rain in Lingnan and it is easy to get wet, so padding it with wood can prevent rainwater from intruding.
This is a very backward looking village.
Tian Hongyue walked over from the side.
He smiled and said to Jiang Hua: "Little brothers, do you want to rest in the village?"
"Well, Uncle Tian, what about you?"
Tian Hongyue shook his head, "We are pressed for time and need to go to Zhelong Mountain to collect herbs as soon as possible, so let's say goodbye."
"If there is fate in the future, let's see you again!"
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "Uncle Tian wishes you a safe journey!"
The Huo family members all walked towards Zhelong Mountain.
The four Jiang Hua men followed Peacock and entered Zhelong Village.
When he walked into the village, Jiang Hua's first impression was that the village was very quiet.
He thought a little in his heart.
Generally speaking, this kind of village cannot be so quiet, and it feels like it has no popularity.
And almost no villagers came out.
Stay inside your own house.
The peacock took them back to his house in a hurry.
"Peacock."
"Huh?"
"Do you villagers in this village usually make a living by hunting?"
Peacock nodded, "We in Zhelong Village have made a living by hunting for generations, but in normal times, we also do some farm work."
"Did everyone go hunting? Why do I feel like there is no one in the village?" Jiang Hua asked seemingly casually.
Peacock hesitated, "Well, everyone went hunting, and my brother hasn't come back yet."
"Ah, Brother Jiang, please sit down for a while and I'll get you something to eat."
After Peacock left, Jiang Hua and others looked around. The house was quite simple, without even a single wire. There was only one kerosene lamp.
The furniture inside is also very basic.
Many of the tables and chairs are made by oneself.
Shirley Yang frowned slightly and said: "Jiang Hua, I always feel that this village seems a bit weird."
"Well, I think so too."
Jiang Hua nodded, "Generally speaking, even rural areas are not so quiet. Have you noticed that since we came in, we haven't even seen a child in this village."
"No matter what, let's be careful.
The peacock went to prepare some food.
There are bacon, wild vegetables, noodles and so on.
Their pots are also very simple.
Hang the pot inside the house, light a fire on the ground, and start cooking.
Jiang Hua and others gathered around.
Shirley Yang said: "Peacock, do you know much about Zhelong Mountain?"
Peacock hesitated for a moment and said: "Sister Yang, actually I haven't been to Zhelong Mountain a few times. It's very dangerous there. There are not only many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes."
"I heard from the people in the village that Zhelong Mountain can eat people!"
"Cannibalism?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"How to eat people?"
"I don't know. Anyway, my brother told me that many people never came back after going up there. Everyone said they were eaten by the mountain god." Peacock shook his head.
Everyone looked at each other.
Shirley Yang continued to ask: "Peacock, have you heard of Worm Valley?"
When the words ‘Insect Valley’ were spoken.
Peacock's expression suddenly changed.
She looked outside nervously, and then asked seriously: "How do you know about Worm Valley?"
"E, we heard what the older generation said. They have been here before and saw an insect valley full of fog, so we also want to go in and have a look."
Peacock carefully observed the surroundings, then leaned into everyone's ears and said nervously: "Brother Jiang, Sister Yang, you must not go to Worm Valley, it is very dangerous. No one from our village has ever been there. Come back again.”
"Is it so dangerous?"
"Well, it's very dangerous!"
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang looked at each other, and then Jiang Hua came over and said, "Peacock, do you know how to get to Insect Valley?"
"Brother Jiang, where are you really going to Worm Valley?"
Peacock hesitated, "No, I can't tell you. Brother Jiang, can you listen to me? Don't go to Worm Valley, I really don't want to see you die there!"
Shirley Yang suddenly laughed, "We won't go to Worm Valley, we just heard about this place by chance and were a little curious for a while."
"Peacock, don't worry."
Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Peacock felt a little relieved.
At this time, there was a noise outside.
Peacock suddenly became pleasantly surprised.
"It should be my brother who is back."
The peacock ran out quickly.
Everyone could see a young man wearing animal skins with a bow on his back.
He carried a wild boar and threw it to the ground.
Everyone couldn't help but clicked their tongues.
It seems that this guy is quite strong.
Peacock went out and said something to the young man.
Then two people walked in.
Peacock introduced: "This is my brother, Ada."
"Brother, this is Brother Jiang who saved my life."
Ada looked very alert and said in a deep voice: "Thank you very much for saving the peacock. Please stay at my house today."
"However, our village will be offering sacrifices to our ancestors recently, so it is not suitable for entertaining outsiders. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, please leave here."
Hearing Ada's words, the fat man's eyes widened.
I was a little angry immediately.
It was Jiang Hua who held him back.
Otherwise, the fat man will really take action.
