Chapter 93

The sound of the bell made Jiang Chenqi feel peaceful, breathing the cold air of the wilderness, as if blending into the boundless night, forgetting the bloody feud she was carrying.

The invisible barrier in the dark night was broken, Jiang Chenqi's heart tightened, and she opened her eyes wide to look around.

They found that the surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and they went from the wilderness to the edge of the forest.Although the visibility was low in the dark, Commander Jiang could tell the difference between the wilderness and the forest.

The fireflies hiding in the grass and trees were awakened by the sound of bells, flying in mid-air, emitting a soft light of dots.

There are more and more fireflies, converging into a yellow river, pointing the way for pedestrians returning late.

Jiang Chenqi showed a shallow smile. She didn't expect that there were fireflies here, and she lowered her voice to talk to Lord Hou, "I like fireflies very much, and I like this kind of flying insects. They can shine like stars, flying in mid-air as if they are dancing .”

Xie Jinghuai felt that something was wrong with the calculation of the season, and he was not in the mood to appreciate the dancing fireflies. He lowered his voice and replied, "Did Commander Jiang forget that the season is late autumn, and the grasshoppers will not be able to jump for a few days. It is not the time when the fireflies are active. I met a single by the river." There are so many fireflies, three or five of them lying on the grass is not a good thing, and there are countless where they can gather together."

Jiang Chenqi frowned, and when she found something suspicious, she stretched out her hand to sense the direction of the wind.

The autumn night is cool with a cool breeze, but the breeze passing through her palm is warm, like the evening wind in summer.

The donkey cart passed through the forest, crossed the thick stone bridge, and finally arrived at the destination.

Several kittens meowed happily. If they were not afraid of the mother cat's sharp claws, they would jump down and run around.

Xie Jinghuai jumped out of the donkey cart, helped Jiang Chenqi out of the cart, and looked around.Unexpectedly, villages in the countryside were willing to use lanterns, and lanterns were hung under the eaves of every household.

I don't know where they bought their candles, and the light illuminates the way in front of the house.

Second Uncle Qian didn't bring the guests home, but took them to an empty house, "Two guests, take a good rest, it's too late, you can eat some fruit to satisfy your hunger, there are fruit trees in the yard."

Yawning and leaving, Second Uncle Qian has been on his way, working harder than Jiang and Chen Qi.

Taking down the lantern under the eaves, Jiang Chenqi pushed open the wooden door and entered the house.Not in a hurry to observe the residence, he pulled Xie Jinghuai to pick the fruit.

The red fruit exudes a light fragrance and tastes like a lychee. Jiang Chenqi ate seven or eight of them in a row, "If it wasn't for the lack of core, I would feel like eating a large lychee. This is the first time I have seen and tasted this kind of fruit. Master Hou, have you eaten yet?"

Xie Jinghuai had a better appetite than Commander Jiang. He ate more than a dozen fruits. He shook his head and said that he hadn't eaten any. Didn't fool us."

Carrying the lantern and walking forward, Jiang Chenqi stopped at the entrance of the main room, carefully admiring the paintings on the door, "It seems that people in the village like cats very much, and there are many cats carved on the door. It should be the human race, they hunt with the big cats."

Xie Jinghuai smiled happily, pointed to the big cat and said: "The carving is a bit exaggerated, it is unreasonable to draw a cat so big and a person so small."

No abnormality was found after entering the main room. This house is similar to an ordinary house.Groups of cats are depicted on the walls, and cat ornaments can be seen everywhere, but otherwise everything is normal.

Carrying the red lantern into the guest room to rest, Jiang Chenqi fell asleep after a while, and slept well at night without waking up.

Early the next morning, Jiang Chenqi was awakened by the sound of birds chirping outside the window, and got up to stretch.Looking carefully at the furnishings in the room, I found that most of them were wooden furniture, and there were several clay sculptures of cats on the table.

Pushing open the door, Jiang Chenqi's first reaction was to be surprised when the unfamiliar environment came into view, she did not expect the fruit trees in the courtyard to be so tall.

Xie Jinghuai stood under the tree, far away from the lowest branch.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xie Jinghuai waved at Jiang Chenqi, and said in a solemn tone: "There is something wrong with this village. This fruit tree is so big that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a towering tree. I went out for a walk and found that similar trees abound You must know that big trees are very valuable, and if there are big trees in the country people's homes, they will be cut down and sold for money, and they will not let them grow forever."

What's even more strange is that they are located in a canyon.Surrounded by undulating mountains, the village is located in the basin at the bottom of the mountain.Towering trees can be seen everywhere on the mountain, and it is the first time I have seen birds moving around, and there are countless strange flowers and plants.

Jiang Chenqi smiled slightly, telling Lord Hou not to worry, "You forgot the new knowledge we learned, so if you come here, you can rest easy. I hope this trip to the countryside will be rewarding."

Second Uncle Qian stood outside and knocked on the door, and handed the food box to Xie Jinghuai who opened the door, "My mother-in-law made light meals, and you two don't mind eating something. I'll ask the children to take you around in a while. The scenery in the village is the same as It's different elsewhere, walk around and relax."

Xie Jinghuai would not dislike the simple food in the countryside. Xie Jinghuai thanked the second uncle Qian who came to deliver the food, and put the food box on the stone table in the courtyard, "I heard that the conditions in the countryside are poor, and the common people have no oil and water in their meals, so they can eat what they have at home. If you If the food is not to your taste, pick a few fruits to satisfy your hunger."

There are countless red fruits hanging on the branches above the head.In his heart, Xie Jinghuai regarded them as lychees, and eating lychees to satisfy his hunger is a luxury.

Opening the lunch box, Xie Jinghuai was slightly stunned, saw a large bowl of ginseng chicken soup, said with a smile: "Second Uncle Qian is so polite, he killed the chicken at home to entertain guests, he is really an enthusiastic countryman."

The next dish is braised fish, with two bowls of white rice and two pairs of chopsticks at the bottom.

Lord Hou felt that the people in the country were real, "We have to pay for our meals, and they serve good meals, so it's hard to justify not paying."

Jiang Chenqi nodded slightly, feeling that the food Uncle Qian sent was good, and felt their hospitality.

Picking out a two-finger-wide ginseng from the chicken soup, Jiang Chenqi frowned and said, "No wonder the chicken soup has a strong ginseng flavor. How can Second Aunt Qian put ginseng in her cooking? There is no need to be so generous when entertaining guests. This ginseng can be sold in a medical center. It sold for a lot of money."

Xie Jinghuai was surprised by the smell of the fish, he couldn't feel a trace of fishy smell.There is no trace of scraping scales on the fish, this is a fish without scales.

After eating a good breakfast, Jiang Chenqi cleaned the dishes and put them in the food box.

Qian Xiaobao opened the door and entered the room, and greeted the stranger with a smile, "You are the guests that grandpa said, you look the same as us here."

Jiang Chenqi smiled cheerfully, "It doesn't matter where you are, the difference in appearance won't be too big. What is the name of your second uncle Qian's grandson? My name is Zhou Yongan, and this is my friend Beiming."

Qian Xiaobao introduced himself with a smile, and went out with two guests who came from afar.

After leaving the residence and walking in the village, Jiang Chenqi found that there were many cats in the village.

Each one is lazy, bigger than a cihua cat, and looks like it can't wake up.
