993. Something is wrong
"Yes, I heard that the wild ginseng here is very famous, so we plan to come here to collect some on-site during the holidays, so that our practical topics will be settled this year."
"So that's the case. The wild ginseng here is indeed very famous. If you are lucky, you can collect a lot of them. The villagers often pick them up and sell them, and exchange them for some money to buy something back."
Miss Acui was obviously interested in their medical students, "Have you found wild ginseng?"
"After walking for a long time, I only found two small trees, and we were lost. I don't know if the trip was worth it..."
Shang Xiaoyan took out a bag from his backpack in distress, and there were two small ginseng trees as thick as a thumb in it. The roots were clearly distinguished, and it was obvious that he was very careful when digging.
"Wow~~~ It's true, it means you're lucky!"
A Cui happily studied forward for a long time, and then took out a few of the plants from the house and prepared them, which attracted everyone's surprise.
"Miss A Cui, what you made is too complete, can you learn medical skills?"
Although the three people who followed Wen Nuan were all members of her team, due to the danger of the task, she chose people with some medical foundation. Now the shock on Shang Xiaoyan's face is also real.
Nothing else, the method of making these wild ginseng is indeed quite complete, and even Tang Shu had to sigh that he was good at it when he saw it.
Miss Acui smiled embarrassedly, her face turned several degrees redder than before.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't learn medicine. However, our village is not connected with the outside world, so every household is familiar with some common herbs. Usually, when they are sick, they can only treat them by themselves."
She looked proud, "But I, Ada, have good medical skills, and everyone in the village likes to see her for treatment. I learned a lot from her when I was a child."
“Ada is…”
"Oh, that's what grandmother means."
"So that's the case. I'll say that Miss Acui is even better than us who study medicine!"
After chatting for a while, it can be said that the guests and guests were having fun. When the sun gradually set, it suddenly became late.
"Oh my God, is it so late now? I think we should leave, otherwise we will have to stay in the mountains tonight."
Several people put down their cups and stood up. Wen Nuan also took out her phone to check the time. "It's winter now, and it will be dark later. We have to rush back to the hotel."
A Cui looked out the window and hesitated, "But... it will take at least three hours from here to the hotel in the nearby town, and it will be even harder to walk on the mountain road after dark. There are still bugs in the forest. It will be very dangerous for you to do this."
"Not afraid, we brought medicine for deworming, and bought a lot before we came."
“That won’t work either,”
A Cui was very persistent, and the smile on her face was replaced seriously. "This is very dangerous. Even the people from our Colonel Village don't go out often at night, and the miasma in the forest will be stronger than during the day at night."
That's what I'm waiting for.
Wen Nuan was instantly persuaded to stop by this sentence, and her face looked a little bad, "What? What's the miasma like? Will it be even thicker at night? Wouldn't that kill us--"
Everyone hesitated, but in the end, Shang Xiaoyan couldn't stand it anymore and tentatively said:
"Then...Miss Acui, do you have any farmhouses in your village? Why don't we just find a homestay to rest for one night?"
"There are few people here here, and you really don't have the homestay you mentioned, but the village chief's house has the largest house, so there are extra empty houses there."
A Cui said, "You guys wait at my house first, I'll talk to the village chief grandfather."
"Then I'll bother you."
"You're welcome, seeing you is fate. I can still help you with this little thing."
A Cui jumped out of the wooden house, and the silver jewelry on her head swayed, adding a bit of playfulness to her.
When her figure disappeared in front of everyone, the few people looked at Wen Nuan together, and the latter slowly shook his head, "Let's stay here tonight."
***
It will take two hours to wait until all five of them are settled.
The village chief of Lingzi Village is not that easy to talk to. It can be said that the village chief is actually quite xenophobic. His expression tells everyone that it is not that popular. Therefore, Shang Xiaoyan repeatedly promised to leave the village early tomorrow morning after dinner.
When the village chief heard the words he was about to leave, his face was a little better.
"Does the village chief have any objections to us?"
"No, I think he's a little weird."
At night, everyone went back to the room and checked all the equipment, and then sat down after making sure everything was foolproof.
Tang Shu was stunned when he heard Wen Nuan's words, "What does it mean?"
"The village chief was not him when we came last time, but another old man of a certain age. That old man is easy to talk to... it cannot be considered easy to talk to. At least he smiles on the surface, so that people can't see his emotions."
"Is this village so weird? Is it changed two village chiefs within a few months?"
If the age is similar to the village chief in front of him, he shouldn't have changed one. After all, he looks quite young. Did they just happen to have the village chief's change?
Tang Shu felt that the subsequent guess was really unreliable, so he shook his head and pressed the idea.
Wen Nuan shook her head, "I don't think it's that simple. In fact, it's not just the village chief. I always feel a little weird. The village is still the same village, but the villagers seem to be different."
She couldn't tell the feeling. The two times she came here gave her a completely different feeling, especially the two completely different village chiefs, which was really strange.
Tang Shu expressed his opinion, "At least, the first time I came here, the village seems to be very peaceful on the surface. From the way we just came from A Cui's house here, the people and things we met were normal."
Not knowing what she thought of, she suddenly paused, "Wait... there is indeed something wrong, there is no children in the village."
"child?"
Yes, it's just a child. This village is not very big. They passed by the Acui girl's house at the entrance of the village, but they never saw a child, not a single one from learning to being a teenager.
This is too abnormal. Even in a small village, there should be children. Moreover, the women and strong men in this village look normal.
"Maybe it's because the child is not easy to control?"
Tang Shuru guessed, "Children's emotions always come and go quickly, and their age and temper are often uncontrollable. If your original guess is correct, then they should not put things that are difficult to control in front of us."
