Chapter 652: Staying behind closed doors
Traveling through mountains and forests is not the same thing as traveling on flat ground.
Physical exertion and whether the road is easy to walk are secondary. It is humid, muggy, and from time to time there are strange noises coming from invisible places. I don’t know whether they are wild beasts or other things. The size of the insects is obviously several sizes larger than that of the Central Plains, and they are often invisible. Suddenly popped out without warning.
But when Yang Yiyi got up in the morning, she finally got the good news, saying that she would be able to reach Qingzhu Village before dark today.
After eight days and seven nights of traveling in the mountains and forests, Yang Yiyi urgently needed to find a real bed, and the small bamboo house with southern Xinjiang characteristics seemed quite interesting.
With this idea in mind, the group set out on the road again.
I don’t know if it’s a matter of luck. In the past, there were always heavy rains occasionally, but today not a single raindrop fell. The sky was cloudless, and I felt more energetic when walking.
Although for Southern Xinjiang, everyone is only on the periphery, but throughout history, Yang Yiyi and the others are the Central Plains people who have penetrated most deeply into Southern Xinjiang.
The group of people climbed over mountains and ridges, and climbed another mountain top, and finally arrived at Qingzhu Village before the sun set at Shenshi.
At this time, everyone was standing on the hillside going down the mountain. Through the thick vegetation, they saw very obvious artificial traces not far away, as well as a building with bamboo as the main body, which was Qingzhu Village.
Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone to stop at this time. She wanted to take people back to talk to the clan leader first.
After all, Yang Yiyi and the others were all from the Central Plains. No Central Plains people had ever entered Qingzhu Village before. Going directly there would easily cause unnecessary commotion.
This is understandable. People from the Central Plains and people outside the customs have been hostile to each other for a long time. Suddenly a group of Central Plains people came out. The logic is the same as a group of people from the Southern Xinjiang suddenly appearing in the villages and towns of the Central Plains. The local people will definitely be panicked.
Let Yang Yiyi and the others wait on the hillside, and then Ran Xiaoyi took the people back to Qingzhu Village.
Yang Yiyi was originally looking forward to tasting the local specialties and staying in a small bamboo house with southern Xinjiang characteristics when she entered Qingzhu Village.
Then they saw on the hillside that after Ran Xiaoyi walked into Qingzhu Village, the gate of the village was immediately closed, and they could hear noisy sounds coming from the village in the distance. Because they were all speaking in Southern Xinjiang dialect, everyone present was confused. I don’t quite understand.
Not long after, the noisy noise stopped and the gate of Qingzhu Village was reopened, but Yang Yiyi and the others waited, but Ran Xiaoyi did not come out again.
"Um...what happened?"
Everyone looked at each other, didn't they say that Qingzhu Village was safe? Was this an ambush?
No one present knew what happened to people in southern Xinjiang, and they didn’t know if it was their folk customs. However, as it was getting dark, Ran Xiaoyi still did not appear again. Now Yang Yiyi and the others finally waited. Can't go down anymore.
"I'm fast, let me go and have a look."
Yang Yiyi stood up and was about to make a big jump when Qin Yan grabbed her.
"Forget it, I'd better go. If you go, I'm afraid you'll get into a fight."
In terms of speed, Yang Yiyi is indeed powerful enough to fly bricks, but Qinggong is not just about speed. With her ability to destroy a parking lot with a tornado, if she went over to check it, it was obvious that she was telling the people in the village that I am hot on horseback!
"Swallow and I will go together. We have to take care of each other. You must not wander around here. We will come back as soon as we go."
Brother Jin also jumped out. Although he was fat, he was surprisingly handsome. Together with Qin Yan, the two of them disappeared deep into the woods in a few seconds, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
What the Sixteenth Village is best at is flying over eaves and walking over walls. Brother Jin is considered one of the best in Qinggong among the heroes of the Sixteenth Village. He goes with Qin Yan, so everyone can rest assured.
The remaining people also found a seat and sat down, waiting for new news. After waiting for less than a cup of tea, two figures appeared in the forest, and soon Qin Yan and Brother Jin came back.
But judging from the expression on his face, it doesn't look like good news.
"Then Ran Xiaoyi was imprisoned by the people from Qingzhu Village. We saw several large cages in the northwest corner of the village."
Yang Yiyi was puzzled after hearing this:
"Ah? Why? Doesn't it mean that Qingzhu Village doesn't want to stir up conflicts between Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains with Baofeng Village?" "Maybe Ran Xiaoyi is the only one who doesn't want to do this, or maybe Qingzhu Village is under the pressure of Baofeng Village, Ran Xiaoyi has to be temporarily banned, otherwise it will cause big trouble. "
Wu Shaoyi said at this time:
"What should we do now? Leave her behind and let's go directly to Baofeng Village to have a look? Maybe the missing Ning Nuxia and others are also near Baofeng Village."
Anyway, Ran Xiaoyi was just banned. Wu Zhu's status in southern Xinjiang was very high. Even the clan leader couldn't do anything to her. She should be released in two days.
Moreover, Qingzhu Village is not far from Baofeng Village. If you keep going forward, you should be able to find it even if there is no guide.
"We are in southern Xinjiang and are not familiar with the place. We really shouldn't ask too much about the locals' affairs, but..."
"But our Sixteenth Village has no habit of leaving friends behind."
Qin Yan followed the second half of the sentence, which made the snitches from the Sixteenth Village cheer a little.
Indeed, the policy of the Sixteenth Village in the world is just four words: justice is as high as the sky.
Although Ran Xiaoyi was not from the Central Plains, she had saved everyone's lives before. It would not be feasible to ignore her at this time.
"Okay, okay, let's go straight in, shall we?"
Yang Yiyi was also very excited to take out the mace. She has been on the road in the past few days and has no chance to fight. Her hands are already itchy.
Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi couldn't help but hold their foreheads, you'd better just stay patient...
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The structure of the villages of the southern Xinjiang people is very similar to a barrel. The outermost part is a bamboo wall, and the buildings are built inside.
This is done to guard against wild beasts in the mountains and forests. In addition to the mosquitoes in this ghost place being much larger than other places, the wild beasts are also much more cunning.
But the fence against wild beasts obviously cannot stop a group of people who can come and go.
When the night got darker and it became completely dark, everyone started to take action.
This group of heroes from the Sixteenth Village were definitely professionals. In the dark environment, they bypassed the sentry on the wall of Qingzhu Village and walked around to the northwest corner of the village. Not far from the wall was the cage where Ran Xiaoyi was imprisoned.
A bamboo wall at least five or six meters high blocked the way, but some experts with excellent dexterity skills stepped on the bamboo joints a few times and climbed up without making any sound. People even squatted on the wall and looked around, and the bamboo did not bend. of.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he turned over and entered Qingzhu Village, and soon threw out a rope to facilitate the people behind him to come up.
Because Wu Shaoyi had inconvenient legs and feet, she and two other people from the Sixteenth Village were asked to look at the rope here. The others grabbed the rope and used it faster than a monkey, almost lining up in a row, swishing in for more than ten people. indivual.
The noise was a little louder when Yang Yiyi went up, but it didn't attract any extra attention.
After climbing over the wall, first of all, a stench rushed into my nose. There was a pigsty nearby, and the smell was quite touching.
But the good thing is that no one is putting torches in the pigsty, and the darkness around here is the best cover.
Ran Xiaoyi, on the other hand, was in the open space on the other side, where the lights were bright and she could see very clearly.
