Shen Qi looked at the rain outside and suddenly felt inspired. She directly laid the map on the ground, sat down on the ground and started to draw.
Shen Wu and He Yi Ning were holding books on the sofa crooked, while the other one was holding onto a notebook on the counter to take care of public affairs.
The three of them were busy with their own people, so it was rather harmonious.
Just as Shen Qi finished drawing the last stroke, took out her phone to take a picture, and sent the blueprint to Cha Er Si, the car suddenly stopped.
"What happened?" He Yi Ning immediately looked towards the Xiaochun.
Xiaochun immediately turned around and went to the driver's seat, and after a while he came back and reported, "A few days ago, there was a huge rainstorm. The road ahead of us seems to have been washed away, and the local villagers are currently repairing the road."
Shen Qi also looked over.
As expected, many people were busy repairing the road in the rain.
I can't get through today.
At this time, a villager came over and said, "This section of the road has been destroyed. It's impossible to cross it today! I have to finish repairing it tomorrow before I can leave! "
Xiaochun smiled as he tried to persuade him: "Uncle, is there any other way to get closer?"
"There's no more. This is the only way to enter the mountain." The uncle replied, "You are all city people, right? There are a lot of people coming to the mountains this season. However, you won't be able to make it today. You might as well find a place to rest for the night. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous! "
Xiaochun looked at the situation on both sides of the road and confirmed that the landslide was serious. He immediately said to the uncle: "Thank you, uncle.
The uncle looked at the two caravans and said, "We are going home now, otherwise, come with us for the night in the village."
After thanking him, the Xiaochun came back to report on the situation. He Yi Ning turned his head to look at Shen Wu: "Are there really those edible mushrooms here?"
"Of course it's true. I've eaten! " Shen Wu answered as if it was a matter of course: "My mom endured it."
He Yi Ning turned his head to look at Shen Qi, "Does Xiao Qi want to eat it?"
Shen Qi smiled and nodded: "That's fine too. There was no point in waiting here. They had to wait anyway. We can go to the village and wait. We can also buy some things."
Since Shen Qi had already said so, everyone turned around and started to drive towards the nearby villages.
When he got off the road, the road turned muddy.
Thankfully, the performance of the car was superb, so he didn't feel any bumps at all.
The villagers in front led the way, with two huge Iron Man following behind them.
It took them almost an hour to reach the village.
When Shen Qi got off the car, she realized how wise her decision was!
It turned out that there were only a few small villages scattered across the mountains and roads.
These people not only had to carry out the maintenance and repair of the mountain road, but also had to bear the responsibility for the safety of the surrounding area.
It was the rainy season, and it was also the time for poisonous snakes to roam about.
If you don't have enough medicine to expel the snake ants, walking in the mountains can be very dangerous.
If everyone chose to wait on the mainland, they would be safe in the car, but that didn't mean they would be able to get off the car.
The People in the village s were rather hospitable too. Seeing that there was someone driving such a huge RV into the mountains, they all came out to watch the commotion.
Shen Qi noticed a phenomenon.
There were no children in the village.
The majority of the people who lived here were in their fifties. Only a few of them were slightly younger, but they were also women who were close to forty years old.
The rest were a bunch of old men.
For some reason, Shen Qi felt that something strange was going on.
Shen Qi couldn't help but pull at He Yi Ning: "Do you feel that this village is strange? "According to common sense, isn't it normal for there to be elderly and children in the village?"
He Yi Ning had long realized this point.
However, he did not feel that anything was wrong.
Everyone just stayed here for one night.
Besides, it was raining, so it was impossible to camp, so he could only sleep in the car.
Therefore, He Yi Ning patted the back of Shen Qi's hand and said, "We will leave tomorrow after the road is repaired. If they want money, just give them some. As long as it was something that could be settled with money, it wasn't a problem. We went out and tried to keep a low profile. Of course, even if they tried to rob us, they might not be able to stop us. We are fully equipped."
With He Yi Ning's words, Shen Qi calmed down.
Shen Wu ran back from the outside and handed the umbrella over to Xiaochun, then said to He Yi Ning and Shen Qi, "This village is really strange. I just went to visit their village chief, guess what? Their Village Chief is actually a beautiful woman in her thirties."
He Yi Ning's brows slightly knitted, and said: "We're in the carriage, don't get off. If you need mushrooms, we can just buy them."
Just as He Yi Ning was speaking, the villagers came and knocked on the car door.
Xiaochun hurried over to attend the social gathering.
The villagers laughed and said, "The village chief heard that a guest had arrived and wanted to invite the guests to di er."
Xiaochun answered with a smile, "No need to be polite. We'll eat in the car."
The villagers, who were originally smiling, suddenly grew excited.
"Guests, are you looking down on us mountain people?" The tone of the other party had already turned hostile.
Just as Xiaochun was about to open his mouth to explain, He Yi Ning immediately said, "Alright, we'll be there in a while. Please tell the Village Chief that we will definitely go and disturb him."
With He Yi Ning's words, the few of them turned around and left satisfied.
Shen Qi looked at He Yi Ning in shock: "Didn't you say??"
"Since the other party has already invited him, it's not appropriate for him not to go." He Yi Ning had yet to speak when Shen Wu who was at the side crossed his arms and said: "But we can't all go."
He Yi Ning nodded and said: "Yes, we ca ot go there all the way. Half the men remained to guard the car, and the others followed us. Xiaochun, you follow me. The other assistants and the bodyguards of this carriage will stay behind."
Xiaochun immediately nodded."Yes, CEO."
"Just call me Second Young Master when we're outside." He Yi Ning took a deep look at the rain curtain outside with his phoenix eyes: "I keep having the feeling that I'll see some interesting scenes tonight."
After He Yi Ning made the arrangements, the people that were left in the car did not start a group and ate some ready-made food.
The car remained dark.
No one knew there was anyone else in the car.
After all, they did not get off the carriage, and the People in the village did not know how many people were on the carriage.
Shen Qi followed He Yi Ning and Shen Wu, held onto an umbrella, and stepped through the mud of rain as they walked towards the center of the village.
"Be careful!" He Yi Ning carefully protected Shen Qi within her arms, and the umbrella in her hand also tilted towards Shen Qi's body.
Shen Qi could feel He Yi Ning's concern and concern, and her heart was filled with warmth.
Shen Wu walked in front and blocked Shen Qi's line of sight.
When Shen Wu finally stopped, he realized that they had reached their destination.
Shen Qi kept her umbrella and looked up at the huge wooden house.
The entire wooden house was like a giant mushroom.
It was more than three meters tall.
This was the first time he had seen such a cylindrical building.
There were a few small mushroom-shaped buildings by his side.
It was like the stars in the sky cupping the moon.
This village was indeed not big, and there were only a dozen of these mushroom houses.
When everyone reached the door, someone came out to greet them.
"Esteemed guests have arrived. This is truly a joyous occasion. Everyone, please come in." When a middle-aged woman saw Shen Wu, her eyes immediately lit up.
And when she saw He Yi Ning, her entire person's expression turned strange. It was no longer a question of whether her eyes were bright or not, but rather that her eyeballs were stuck on He Yi Ning's face, unable to be taken off.
He forgot to continue.
Seeing the woman staring at He Yi Ning so insolently, Shen Qi immediately coughed unhappily.
The middle-aged woman looked as though she had just woken up from a dream, she looked at He Yi Ning greedily, and then continued: "The Village Chief has already been waiting inside for a long time."
He Yi Ning didn't even spare her a glance with his phoenix eyes as he followed Shen Wu inside.
When He Yi Ning passed by, the middle-aged woman clearly took in a deep breath due to her greed.
It was as if the air around He Yi Ning had become fragrant and mellow.
Shen Qi was begi ing to dislike this village more and more.
At the begi ing, he had thought it was weird, but now, he didn't like it at all.
Entering the room, Shen Qi saw that this cylindrical house actually had no room, just an empty hall.
There was a high platform in the north. A seductive woman dressed in revealing clothes was leaning against a huge pillow. She had a cigar in her mouth.
If her guess was not wrong, she should be the village chief.
In front of her was a long tea table with many fruits and snacks and a jug of wine.
The house had a light floor with cushions on it.
Looks like this is where the guests will sit.
"I didn't expect such distinguished guests to appear in the mountains. What a rare guest." The village chief slowly stood up and walked down from the platform.
Only then did Shen Qi realize that the village chief was not wearing shoes. He was barefoot as he walked on the floor, every step he took was graceful and swaying.
He Yi Ning narrowed his phoenix eyes when he saw her posture.
This woman, she was clearly??
He Yi Ning and Shen Wu quickly exchanged glances.
It was obvious that Shen Wu also noticed that something was amiss.
"So Mr. Shen has so many friends." The village chief walked around Shen Wu and He Yi Ning for a few steps before looking at Shen Qi: "Such a beautiful lady, it's rare to see her in the mountains."
Shen Qi forced a smile: "Thank you for your praise."
"There isn't much good stuff in the mountain either. Please don't mind the light and light food served to you." The Village Chief sat on the ground and asked, "Do you all need to stay here? We still have a lot of rooms in the mountains."
"I don't dare to bother you. We'll just stay in the car." Shen Qi replied indifferently.
"Oh, really?" The village chief looked at Shen Qi meaningfully, "Then don't wander around at night. It's not safe here at night."
Shen Qi smiled gently and nodded: "Thank you for your reminder. We will keep to the rules and not run around."
"Everyone, please take a seat." The Village Chief raised his hand and said, "The people of the mountains are poor, and don't have the luxury furniture that the people of the city have. However, the delicacies in the mountains are still quite good."
With that, the middle-aged auntie, who was receiving guests at the door, came over with people carrying dish after dish.
Shen Qi felt that this way of eating was like eating a picnic.
The only difference was that the picnic was on the field, and this was on the ground of the house.
