Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1645 7 Heart Tablets 26

Old Man Yan's car stopped two mountains away from Qiju Village. The driver looked at Old Man Yan with an apologetic look and said, "Boss, the road ahead is too narrow and the car can't pass. I think you will have to climb the mountain to get there..."

Old Man Yan's eyesight was not very good. Yan Hongsha and Mu Dai could see clearly that the road ahead seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time. The weeds in the middle of the road were half a person tall, not to mention the vines and branches on both sides, which almost covered the entire road surface.

There was no choice but to get off and walk. At this time, Yan Hongsha was particularly disgusted with the suitcase he brought with him, "This kind of suitcase is simply a burden!"

Mu Dai halfheartedly tried to comfort Yan Hongsha, "It's only a bit cumbersome when climbing up and down, but it's very convenient in other places."

Then, Mu Dai suggested, "How about we just take the highway? It's definitely a longer route, but at least the road conditions will be better and safer. What do you think?"

Yan Hongsha felt that what Mu Dai said made sense, and immediately went up to hold her grandfather who was looking for a way through the mountains and fields, "Grandpa, I think we should just walk along the highway. It's too troublesome to find the way in the mountains, and it's easy to get lost, which wastes time."

Old Man Yan felt that his granddaughter was looking down on him and snorted coldly, "Do you know that the road here will require us to cross two more mountains?"

Yan Hongsha wanted to shut up, but seeing that the sun wasn't high in the sky and it would soon be dark, he pulled the old man down the mountain without saying anything, "Grandpa, before we climb a few steps, let's go down and take the road!"

Old Man Yan had no choice but to follow them down and walk along the highway. This time Yan Hongsha could drag the suitcase, which freed him up a lot. He also asked about the specific location of Baojing.

Having come this far, Old Man Yan had nothing to hide, so he let out a few words, "Our family's treasure well is on Moon Mountain."

As for where Moon Mountain is, Old Man Yan didn't want to mention it at all.

Night fell quickly and blue mist rose from the mountains, bringing a chill and giving the two online surfers, Yan Hongsha and Mu Dai, a creepy feeling.

Yan Hongsha shivered and complained to Mu Dai, "This place always feels like a scene from a ghost story..."

Mu Dai was also scared and quickly stopped Yan Hongsha from talking: "Stop talking, it's so scary!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sound of bells came from behind. Mu Dai and Yan Hongsha instantly huddled together, not daring to move, staring nervously at the direction where the bell sound was coming from, which was getting closer and closer.

Old Man Yan turned around with a serious face and looked back at the road he came from. At his age, he suddenly believed in cause and effect. In fact, he did not believe in any monsters and ghosts. What's more, he did not think he was a good person. Even if monsters and ghosts really came, he would not be afraid.

The unknown would make some people feel fearful. Two donkey carts came over. One was the cart driven by Zama, a villager from Qiju Village, to deliver supplies to the village. The one behind was driven by Jiang Xinxin, and it was the cart that followed Zama to Qiju Village.

Along the way, Yiwansan and Cao Yanhua have already learned how to drive a donkey cart. Even Luo Ren pretended to follow the crowd and let Jiang Xinxin teach him step by step.

Zama saw two young women and an old man in front of him. They all looked wealthy. He happily invited Old Man Yan, Yan Hongsha, and Mu Dai to get in the car. "Boss, are you here to check out the tourist routes too?"

Even though they pretended not to know each other, Mu Dai and Yan Hongsha felt a little embarrassed. After all, Old Man Yan was knowledgeable and experienced. He understood Zhama's situation in a few words and even told them about the misunderstanding that there were wild people around.

Yan Hongsha was a little curious when he heard about the wild men. "Hey, are there really wild men in the mountains around here?"

Zama sighed with regret, "Ah——"

"When the news of wild men spread, the government immediately sent people to investigate. If there really were wild men here, wouldn't tourism be a big deal?"

As he spoke, Zama turned his head to look at the car behind him and said loudly to Jiang Xinxin and his group, "Boss, our village is just a little difficult to get to. You are all city people and well-informed, so you must investigate carefully. We all want to live a good life!"

Luo Ren also answered loudly: "Of course, of course."

"Nowadays, many tourist attractions seem too commercialized, so some people just want to go to a quiet place with beautiful scenery and be alone. These customers are often wealthy. If we focus on spiritual healing, it will be easy to develop."

Old Man Yan listened to the conversation between Luo Ren and Zhama, and his vigilance towards the car behind them did not decrease at all. The only thing that comforted him was that Yan Hongsha seemed to know the people behind them.

The donkey cart traveled for more than two hours before finally reaching its destination.

In Qiju Village, just as Zama said, those who remain are the elderly who are attached to the life in the mountains and cannot adapt to the outside world. Usually, everyone can still grow some vegetables and raise a few chickens and ducks, and the rest of the daily necessities are brought back by the young people in each family.

Because Jiang Xinxin and her group knew Zama first, and they also spent money on Zama, Zama had already agreed to let everyone stay at his place, so as soon as he got off the car, he quickly asked his mother to clean up the room.

As for the group of people who were picked up by Kido along the way, Zama arranged for them to stay at a neighbor's house.

Qiju Village has electricity and every household has a television, but because there are fewer people and young people, some people's lights are broken and no one repairs them for a while. Everyone seems to be more accustomed to lighting a few bonfires in public places in the village and gathering together to chat and laugh.

It has been a long time since so many outsiders came to visit, and seeing that everyone looked wealthy, the villagers entertained them with extra care. In just a short while, they had stewed the hens, bacon and other things!

Although Zama looks like a simple mountain boy, he is actually very thoughtful. He diligently promotes Jiang Xinxin and his group's visit to investigate tourism resources, and hopes that Qiju Village will become prosperous as a result.

The old people’s thoughts are even simpler. They may not like to get rich, especially to get a lot of money, but who doesn’t like to be surrounded by their children and grandchildren?

Jiang Xinxin spoke to everyone in a very professional manner, "Young people have cell phones, so they must know a lot. Qiju Village's biggest shortcoming is its inconvenient transportation. Without unique attractions to support it, it would be difficult to develop."

"We came here to see if there is anything unique here that will make people linger."

"As long as it has unique characteristics, it will definitely attract relevant people, and as long as people come, everyone will make money."
