Don't follow the rules

Chapter 118 Lu Jiachong ([-])
"To be honest, the air here is pretty good." Ning Yao took a deep breath, stretched out comfortably, and strolled lazily on the only path into the village.

Chunyu folded his arms around his chest, and followed him as if he had nothing to do with him.

"What are you doing hiding so far away?" Ning Yao beckoned him to follow up, "Hurry up, the entrance of the village is ahead, and I can see the landmark of the village."

"What landmarks can a small mountain village have..." Chunyu muttered, and secretly quickened his pace to keep up with Ning Yao.

Ning Yao pointed at the end of the path from afar, a large tree with a very different shape from other straight and thin cypress trees.Its crown is dome-shaped, and its posture is quite generous and spectacular.

Chunyu narrowed his eyes: "Autumn maple tree? It stands to reason that there are cypresses all over the mountain here, and it is difficult for other tree species to survive. There is such a big autumn maple tree here... Let's go and have a look."

Walking into the village and coming to this autumn maple tree, I found that it is not just a mountain village landmark.This special tree was separated from the outside world by a short stone wall built with square stones of similar size. , is a small shrine built of bluestone.

Ning Yao's eyes widened, and he pointed at the shrine and tugged on Chunyu's sleeve: "Look! It's the Jinxian Temple!"

Find the goal of this mission so quickly?

Chunyu led Ning Yao around the tree, and found a gap in the stone wall behind the tree, or is this a "door"?There is also a small wooden board at the door, on which some rules for worshiping golden immortals are written in ink.

"Worshiping the Great Sage of the Golden Immortal·Instructions"

·【Ban incense candles】

·【Three offerings of cakes】

·【Dancing is prohibited in the stone circle, loud noises are prohibited, and Jinxian Qingxiu must not be disturbed】

·【It is strictly forbidden to touch the shrine!It is strictly forbidden to touch the shrine!It is strictly forbidden to touch the shrine! 】

·【After nightfall, please put the Golden Wing Envoy into the stone circle, and please return to each family the next morning】

·【Stop offering incense and candles to the Golden Winged Envoy】

·【Golden Wing Envoy's living room has no open fire】

·【Golden Wing envoys must be served with fresh pastries】

·【All believers must abide by the agreement with Jinxian!Those who violate the contract will turn away the shrine at their own risk! 】

Ning Yao squatted in front of the wooden board and took pictures with his mobile phone to keep records. Chunyu suggested: "It's better to use a notebook to write it down."

Ning Yao showed off his phone photo album to him: "Believe in science."

Chunyu Bian stopped talking and put his hands back into his trouser pockets.This mission was specially chosen for Ning Yao to practice. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be better for him to interfere less.

Ning Yao was holding up his mobile phone to pat around, when he suddenly heard a question with a strange tone from behind: "Who are you?"

The two of them turned around and found that the questioner was a little boy, his body was dirty, and the yellow snot was clumped and stuck near the crowd. He was holding a slender branch in his hand, and was scratching back and forth on the ground from time to time. Playing around, it seems to be his toy.

The little boy kept a distance from them, standing far away from the shrine and the big tree. Behind him was the wall of some villagers' houses. Behind the wall, there were a few small heads protruding faintly, which should be children playing together.

Ning Yao greeted them with a smile: "We are here to travel. Children, I want to ask you something."

The little boy picked at his nose and looked back at his little friends in confusion. The group of children ran away with noisy laughter. The little boy stood there blankly and replied to these two people who looked uncomfortable. That's right, my lord.

The little boy scratched his head: "What do you mean?"

Ning Yao scratched his head: "What do you mean?"

The little boy scratched his head: "Huh?"

Ning Yao scratched his head: "Huh?"

Chunyu really couldn't stand this mentally handicapped conversation, so he forcibly cut off the conversation: "Little friend, where is your adult?"

The little boy finally showed a relaxed expression, and this was probably the only question he could understand: "My father is planing wood at home, are you looking for my father?"

Ning Yao looked at Chunyu: "Planing wood? Could it be what I thought?"

Chunyu nodded: "This is the well-known Shoucai Village, so it should be enough to plan wood at home."

Ning Yao shrunk his neck: "It's a bit intrusive to beat coffins in broad daylight."

Chunyu snorted: "It's only late at night when you make a coffin to infiltrate people, and it's called normal work during the day."

Ning Yao turned his head and shouted at the child: "Can you take us to your house?"

The kid didn't respond, just turned and ran away.

"Follow." Chunyu kicked Ning Yao, who was half-squatting on the ground, and stepped over the stone wall outside the shrine to chase the fleeing child.

The little boy waved the branch in his hand and quickly ran into a low house on the roadside.It was an old house, and the main house even had walls made of red mud. The newly built huts, firewood houses and pigpens next to the main house used bricks and stones, but they still looked very dilapidated.

In the yard in front of the house, a man was planing planks, shirtless and sweating, not paying much attention to the little boy running in and out until the boy yelled at him.

"Dad! Someone is looking for you!"

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm: "Who is looking for me?"

The little boy pointed at Chunyu and Ning Yao who came behind him with a twig: "I don't know you."

The man frowned, stopped what he was doing, and looked out of the room with his head. It was indeed someone he didn't know.The man became vigilant, lowered his head and picked up an ax from the ground, held it in his hand, and waved to the person coming.

Ning Yao also waved in a friendly way: "Hello, brother, we are traveling friends passing by. I feel that the air and environment in your village are very good. I would like to stay here for two days. Do you have a B&B or youth hostel here?"

The man looked them up and down suspiciously: "No."

An exaggerated disappointment expression appeared on Ning Yao's face: "Brother, do you have anyone here who can stay here? We will only stay for two days and pay according to the market price."

The man's eyes flicked between the two of them and their backpacks, and seemed to be moved, but in the end he refused them dryly: "No, you go back."

When Chunyu saw this, he didn't force it, he just settled for the next best thing: "Brother, let's go after asking about something."

The man suddenly became more alert, his hand holding the ax secretly tightened, and he did not respond.

Chunyu pointed to the big tree and the shrine at the entrance of the village: "What is that golden fairy you worshiped for?"

The man's face tensed up instantly, and he took a step back slightly: "Why do you ask this?"

Ning Yao laughed and said, "Just asking, out of curiosity~ Otherwise, we wouldn't be friends anymore. We are just people who walk around and play."

"Nothing, please leave quickly, outsiders are not entertained in the village." Before the man finished speaking, he turned around and walked home, and dragged his own children into the house along the way. closed the door.

The two people who had been rejected looked at each other in confusion. They had a bad start. After asking for a long time, they couldn't pry out any scraps.

Ning Yao sighed: "How can this thing placed at the entrance of the village have such a high level of secrecy?"

Before Chunyu could reply, he heard a group of people approaching them noisily not far away. There were quite a few people coming, all of them were strong men. Some of them had carrying poles and other objects in their hands, and they were rushing towards them aggressively. Come.
