"A Jin, why did you come with me …"
Speaking till here, Mao Xiaoting was startled, but immediately reacted: "The two of you aren't already married, right?"
"The two of us got our certificates last year!"
A Wen laughed and said.
"The two of you are getting married fast enough. Since you are already married, why didn't you inform me? At least I'll give you guys a share of the money! " Mao Xiaoting pretended to be angry.
"I was worried that your journey would be too far, so I didn't notify you …" "Un, this is?"
At this time, A Jin looked at Xiang Anjie blankly.
Mao Xiaoting then introduced the two of them: "This is the main hosts of my trip to Yunnan, Xiang Anjie!"
Oh, so it's Xiang Ge.
Hearing that, A Wen immediately went up to Xiang Anjie and greeted him.
Xiang Anjie also greeted them.
After greeting them, Xiang Anjie followed A Wen into the town.
"How did you meet them?"
"This …"
Hearing this question, Mao Xiaoting very casually said: "Five years ago, when I came to Kunming to travel, I accidentally bumped into a young couple. I discovered that the two of them had unclean things on them, so I helped them settle it, that's all."
"Yeah, although five years have already passed, but we still can't forget about the situation back then. Xiao Ting is the savior of our lives, if not for her, I'm afraid our souls would have already been eaten by the evil spirits!" A Jin and A Wen turned their heads and said at the same time.
Hearing that, Xiang Anjie nodded his head: "Oh right, A Wen, although you are from the Yunnan Province, listening to your Mandarin is pretty standard."
"En!"
A Jin laughed: "Because we went out to work very early on, not only did we have to work in Kunming for a period of time, we even stayed in the big cities like Guangzhou, Beijing, for a long time."
"No wonder. But since that's the case, why didn't you continue to work in a big city?"
A Wen turned to look at him and smiled bashfully, "A golden nest and a silver nest is still not as good as a dog's den! In the past, our hometown was really too poor, so we went out to work in order to make ends meet. But in recent years, our hometown has started to make tourism, and the economic conditions are getting better and better, so naturally, we, the wanderers, choose to return home. My family has started to have fun in the countryside, and our income isn't any worse than our income from working outside, so naturally we won't go out. "
"Mm, it's a good thing for young people to endure hardships. As long as you work hard with your own hands, I believe that one day you will make your hometown even better!"
Seeing that the young generation of the minority nationalities were so spirited, Xiang Anjie also felt very gratified in his heart.
Hearing that, A Wen nodded: "Thank you!"
However, A Jin covered his mouth and laughed: "Xiang Ge, why do you sound like an old grandpa?"
"He's just like that, don't mind him too much!"
After glancing at Xiang Anjie, Mao Xiaoting faintly smiled.
"Right!"
After all, the purpose of this trip was to find the Yunnan seedling Gu, so Xiang Anjie did not waste anymore time, and directly answered: "Where is the Miao Family village that we are looking for? Is it in your town? "
Hearing that, A Jin immediately shook his head: "No, that village is called Baishamian, and is different from our town. That village is very remote, located in the middle of the mountains.
"That's right!"
A Wen took over the conversation: "Usually if you want to go to that village, you will have to walk for half a day just on the mountain road, so it is late today, you should go to our inn to rest for the night, tomorrow morning, we will set off, and I estimate that you will be able to reach Baishamian by 3 o'clock in the afternoon."
"So it's like that …" Hearing that, Xiang Anjie did not say anymore, but Mao Xiaoting smiled at him: "A Wen, A Jin, I will have to trouble you two this time!"
"It's nothing!"
The two of them looked at Mao Xiaoting and shook their heads: "Five years ago, you were the one who saved our lives, and we, Miao Renlong, value favors the most, so this is also what we should do."
While they were talking, they arrived at A Wen's family inn. Under A Wen's mother's warm welcome, the two of them took up two rooms each and tasted the Miao Family's unique delicacies.
Of course, Xiang Anjie spat all of those things out when he turned around.
Early morning of the second day, when the sun had just risen, Xiang Anjie and Mao Xiaoting had already woken up, and A Jin and A Wen were already prepared to set.
Xiang Anjie looked at the time. It was only five-thirty in the morning, and it looked like that Baishamian was indeed quite remote.
After a simple breakfast, the four of them set off.
Although it was said by A Jin that going to Baishamian was easy, as long as they could climb three mountains and cross two rivers, but when they were really going to start, Xiang Anjie understood the difficulty of it all.
First of all, after walking for an hour, they had finally reached the mountainside of the first mountain. There was no helping it, the mountain path was rugged, the road was covered with thorns, and from time to time there were poisonous insects and snakes blocking the way.
But what was worth mentioning was that A Jin and A Wen were indeed local people. From their black skin color, it could be seen that they were extremely proficient in such matters.
The moment they set foot on the mountain road, the two of them turned into nimble apes in the mountain. Facing the complicated situation along the way, no matter if it was the steep mountain slope, the uneven mountain road, or even the steep mountain valley, the two of them were able to easily deal with it. Although it was not as if they were walking on flat ground, their speed was still relatively stable.
Xiang Anjie, who was following behind, was fine. First of all, he was a zombie, and had an extraordinary physique, as an eighth route company commander, this complicated mountain road was not difficult for him.
In those difficult times, it was common for the Eighth Route Army to rush ten kilometers. In order to fight against the Japanese army, they would often travel in the forest, so they had long developed a set of skills to deal with complex road situations.
But this would make it difficult for Mao Xiaoting.
Although as a devotee, her body was stronger than most people, and she also knew that she had to climb the mountain today, so she changed into hiking shoes and tight clothes. However, after walking for a few hours on this rugged mountain road, she was obviously unable to eat much.
At eight in the morning, after walking for two hours, the four of them finally crossed the first mountain and crossed the river at the foot of the mountain.
Perhaps seeing Mao Xiaoting so tired that she was about to lie down, Xiang Anjie sighed: "A Wen, shall we take a rest?"
Hearing this, the two people in front stopped and said, "Hmm, alright then. Let's take a break!"
"Phew, I can finally rest!"
At this time, Mao Xiaoting took a deep breath, walked to the river and sat down on a large boulder: "I'm really going to die from exhaustion!"
"Aiyo, that's it? Aren't you from devotee?
Seeing that, Xiang Anjie walked over and smiled faintly.
"Tch!"
Mao Xiaoting rolled his eyes: "Can you not compare me to you? You are a zombie, and I am just an ordinary person.
"Here you go!"
With that, Xiang Anjie handed over a bottle of mineral water to Mao Xiaoting from his backpack. "But A Wen and A Jin are also ordinary people, why can't I feel tired?"
"Humph, people from the minority nationalities are good at sports. Who from the Mainland has the time to run up the mountain all day?"
With that, Mao Xiaoting received the bottle of mineral water, twisted the cap off and gulped down the entire bottle of water.
"Xiao Ting, eat something!"
A Jin walked over and gave a piece of glutinous rice dung to Mao Xiaoting: "We only walked one-third of the way, eat something to replenish your energy!"
"Mm, thank you."
After receiving the glutinous rice dung from Mao Xiaoting, she smiled and directly started to chew it. She no longer cared about his previous cold and proud goddess, after all, she had been thirsty and hungry after walking for two hours on the mountain road.
"Xiang Ge, you should come too. After walking for so long, you should be hungry, right?"
After walking to Xiang Anjie's side, A Jin gave Xiang Anjie two pieces of glutinous rice dung.
"Ugh …" "Thank you!"
Originally, Xiang Anjie did not want it, but after thinking about it, after walking on the mountain road for so long, if he did not feel hungry and did not want to eat, wouldn't it seem very strange? A Wen, who was at the side, was drinking cold water and eating, so it did not seem right for him to not eat at all.
Therefore, he took the rice dung and pretended to bite into it twice. Then, he found an opportunity to put the two pieces of glutinous rice dung into his bag.
"Alright, let's go!"
After resting for about twenty minutes, A Wen got up and said: "I know you guys might not be able to walk anymore, but no matter what, we must reach Baishamian by three in the afternoon, because once it is past three in the afternoon, the weather will become moist, if we walk on the mountain road while being wet, it will be very dangerous, not only will we encounter all kinds of poisonous snakes and insects, but it will also very likely cause damp energy to enter our bodies and cause diseases, so we cannot delay any longer, and we have to leave immediately!"
Just like this, everyone once again began to follow the rugged and difficult mountain road, and began to advance towards the Baishamian in front.
