The fu
y young man turned around and looked at the scene that had left a deep impression on him. He clenched his fists and said, "I'm not coming to this place anymore!"
He then asked his three junior brothers, "Tell me, where do we go next?"
The fu
y guy, No.2, shook his head and said, "We even said that we had to go back and work hard!"
"We only have a day and a half left." No.3 stretched out his finger and said.
The teasing young man, number 4, ruthlessly said, "I miss my partner!"
"F * ck off!"
Ancient Village of Qingxiang was a natural ancient town that was about 200 kilometers away from Shen Yuan.
The people here had multiplied for dozens of generations. Due to geography and the conservative attitude of the local government, the development was not very good.
It could be said that most of the park visitors did not know of such a place.
Plus, the facilities were all very backward. Other than water and electricity, the network was not very popular. As a result, there were even fewer people coming.
After all, the park visitors preferred to go to the Internet Cafe.
Only when Shen Yuan was familiar with the surrounding situation did he pull it out from the map.
When Shen Yuan and A Ling drove over, it was exactly three in the afternoon. The hottest time of the day.
Since it was impossible to drive into the town, they had no choice but to park their cars in a private parking lot outside of the ancient town. After paying a high parking fee, they carried their backpacks and walked inside.
The residents of the small town still retained a portion of their primitive lifestyle.
For example, firewood cooking. For example, drinking well water instead of ru
ing water.
Although the network was co
ected here, it was not very popular, so the consumption here depended on cash, not on the code to pay for it.
A Ling looked around. Other than them, there didn't seem to be anyone else coming here to play, so he asked Shen Yuan: "The little town is very beautiful, why is there no one developing it?"
Shen Yuan explained, "When we were walking over here just now, the road was very difficult. Most people didn't want to walk this path. As for this small town, let alone its remote location, there weren't any decent scenery to offer. Moreover, the people here lived very comfortably, and they didn't want to be disturbed by the outside world. Adding other factors into the mix, maybe the local leaders thought it was not worth it to build a separate road for such a featureless town, or maybe the people here were strongly against it, or maybe someone with foresight decided that the area was not allowed to be reconstructed. "
A Ling nodded his head, feeling that it made sense.
The two of them entered the town on foot, alerting the locals.
Someone walked over and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Yuan smiled and said: "My fiancee and I are on a hike, and happened to pass by here, so I wanted to find a place to stay and rest for a few days."
Hearing Shen Yuan calling him fiancee, A Ling felt sweet at the bottom of his heart, and took the initiative to hook his finger.
The two of them looked at each other with a sweet smile. Even a blind person could tell that this was the moment of deep love between the two of them.
The man said, "There are no hotels in our town. On the other hand, if you don't mind, you can stay for a few days, as long as you give the owner some money. "
Shen Yuan immediately said: "Many thanks."
That person brought Shen Yuan and Ailing to a narrow alley and knocked on an old gra
y's door. "Grandma Wang, there are two young juniors who wish to stay here for a few days. "Your family has a lot of empty rooms, so you should just let them stay for a few days.
A Abba with half of her teeth missing walked out, and seriously sized up Shen Yuan and A Ling, nodding her head and saying: "This junior and the young lady are really good-looking. "If you don't mind, then live with me. I'm the only one in this house, so you can take whatever you want!"
Abba left after chattering a few times.
Shen Yuan passed a box of good cigarettes to the guide as a sign of gratitude.
After sending off the guide, Shen Yuan and A Ling picked a room on the second floor that was close to the street.
This was purely instinct.
This room was suitable for escaping at any time.
A Ling subconsciously chose this room.
Shen Yuan followed her.
The room was huge, and a large wooden bed took up half the space in the room.
It was an old dressing table. The paint on it was mottled. Clearly, it was quite old.
There was also a dark red cabinet in the room that was used to store clothes.
A Ling did not put his things in, he only put his bag on top of the cabinet for easy access.
A Ling instinctively harbored distrust towards other people's belongings.
She only believed in herself, especially when she was away.
Shen Yuan was the same.
It was just that now they had another person that they trusted. That was all.
The wood flooring and wooden stairs gave A Ling the feeling of having passed through a hundred years in an instant.
The two of them made a move together and cleaned the entire room, along with the living room downstairs.
Abba shakily brought two big bowls over and placed them in front of them, as if to thank them for cleaning the place.
A Ling subconsciously wanted to test if there was poison in the bowl, but he was stopped by Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan took the initiative and drank a mouthful, only then did A Ling hesitate to follow suit and take a gulp as well.
Very good, no poison.
Abba Wang said, "It's been a long time since this town has seen the youngsters outside."
"What about the young people in this town?" Shen Yuan asked.
He had just taken a look at the buildings here. The newest buildings were basically the same as the previous buildings that were more than ten years and twenty years ago.
There were no new buildings, which meant that there were no young people living in this place.
This was abnormal.
"All of you have gone out to work." Abba Wang replied, "The town is too poor! The young people are not coming back. "
A Ling could not help but ask: "So, only a group of old people are left in this town?"
"Yeah. All that's left is us old geezers! " Wang Abba trembled as he said, "The youngest is nearly sixty this year! The town is getting more and more deserted. "
A Ling could not help but ask again: "The protection of the town is so good, why didn't we develop it into a tourist resort? This way the town will have income and the young people will be able to come back. "
Abba Wang shook his head, "No, we can't move this town! This was something that was passed down by the ancestors, and could not be touched. If you move, you will trigger the divine spirit, and encounter the wrath of heaven. "
Wang Abba shook his head and left.
A Ling said to Shen Yuan, "Looks like you guessed right. "The citizens of the town disagreed with the establishment of the commercial district."
Shen Yuan laughed lightly, hugged A Ling's waist and said: "This is good too. It was quiet. Without the disturbance of those four idiots, we can live a few days in peace! In such an old town, bathing in the warm sunlight, and then fetching water and cooking by yourself, isn't that kind of comfort? "
At the same time, four familiar figures appeared on the street of the ancient town.
"Boss, are you sure we want to come here to investigate?" No.4 had a face full of suspicion.
