After the proving ground came to the world

Chapter 60 Mingde Village 6
Everyone was a little taken aback by what Deng Pingping said.

Cheng Cheng was dumbfounded: "I didn't seem to say anything bad, did I?"

Deng Pingping's boyfriend Xu Zhengyu hurriedly stood up and apologized to everyone: "I'm sorry, Pingping is a bit impatient, it's none of your business. You eat first, I'll go and see her."

After speaking, he also ran out.

Lu Ning and Cheng Cheng looked at each other, feeling a little bewildered.

Even Lu Ning doubted himself a little: "Could it be that I really provoked her? But it's not right, I don't remember this face at all! I don't know a girl named Deng Pingping either."

Liu Junhai knocked on the table: "Let's eat first, and leave some food for the two of them. After eating, go to the village to inquire about the news."

Lu Ning immediately put away his thoughts, no matter what, it is more important to clear the customs.

Today's breakfast is similar to last night, except that there is one meat dish missing.

Lu Ning picked up the soup bowl, then hesitated for a moment, then put it down again.

This soup looks too greasy, there is a thick layer of oil floating in the bowl, a few pinches of unknown vegetables are sprinkled on it, and the taste is not very good.

Lu Ning really couldn't drink it.

-

After eating, Deng Pingping and Xu Zhengyu hadn't come back yet.

Liu Rui put the food reserved for the two of them back into the food box, and closed the lid tightly to ensure that it would not cool down too quickly.

Then everyone is ready to go out to collect clues.

Lu Ning and Cheng Buyu planned to ask the children in the village for news.

For this reason, Lu Ning specially prepared a bag of colorful fruit candies, and she couldn't believe that they couldn't attract children.

Lu Ning and Cheng Buyu walked to the village together.

The village, which was empty yesterday, looked extraordinarily lively today.

The people coming and going add some popularity to this wide village.

Lu Ning and Cheng Buyu watched the villagers walking hurriedly, as if they were preparing something, so she grabbed a grandma to ask.

"Grandma, may I ask what are you doing?" Lu Ning asked politely.

The old man who was held back rolled his gray eyeballs, and the light in the dark flashed in the eyes. The wrinkles on her face were densely packed like withered vines, and there was an ominous sign in her old-fashioned way. It is white and sparse, and even the back is high, like a humped hill.

The old man looked Lu Ning up and down, his eyes moved slightly, and suddenly said something irrelevant: "Are you foreigners?"

Lu Ning and Cheng Buyu looked at each other and nodded.

The old man fixed his dull eyes on Lu Ning's face, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up.

Lu Ning was taken aback by the smile: "Grandma, what are you laughing at?"

The old man didn't answer. She held the handkerchief in her hand and put away the smile on her face.

"The Mountain God Festival will be held in a few days, you can come and see it then."

Lu Ning looked at the back of the old man leaving suspiciously, always feeling that there was something in the other party's words.

However, Lu Ning soon forgot about the old man.

She and Cheng Buyu continued to walk around the village, but they didn't see a single child.

Moreover, they found that most of the activities in the village were old people, and then some men who looked particularly strong.

Lu Ning and Cheng Buyu, two delicate little girls, walked in this village, as if two drops of paint had been mixed into a glass of water, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The villagers I met along the way looked at them with strange eyes, as if they were delicious prey, and those villagers were hunters watching their struggle.

Lu Ning and Cheng Buyu were being scrutinized by these gazes along the way, and they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

After turning around, the two who didn't gain much decided to go back.

Seeing that it was already noon, they decided to take a shortcut and go back.

Although Mingde Village is located in a remote location, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Logically speaking, even if it is remote and poor, it will not be so difficult that it cannot grow crops.

But in fact, no matter where you stand in the village and look around, you can't see any obvious green.

The mountain peaks surrounding Mingde Village are bare, and only tree trunks are left on the mountain. At a glance, it is so empty that it seems to be able to see the edge.

Walking in such a mountain, there is no need to worry about the risk of getting lost.
