Chapter 652 Staying indoors

Traveling through mountains and forests is not the same thing as traveling on flat ground.

Physical exertion and whether the road is easy to walk are secondary. It is humid and sultry, and from time to time there are strange noises coming from invisible places. I don’t know if they are wild beasts or other things. The size of the insects is obviously several sizes larger than that of the Central Plains, and they are often invisible. Suddenly popped out without warning.

But when Yang Yiyi got up in the morning, she finally got the good news, saying that she would be able to reach Qingzhu Village before dark today.

After eight days and seven nights of traveling in the mountains and forests, Yang Yiyi urgently needed to find a real bed, and the small bamboo house with southern Xinjiang characteristics seemed quite interesting.

With this idea in mind, the group set out on the road again.

I don’t know if it’s a matter of luck. In the past, there were always heavy rains occasionally, but today not a single raindrop fell. The sky was cloudless, and I felt more energetic when walking.

Although for Southern Xinjiang, everyone is only on the periphery, but throughout history, Yang Yiyi and the others are the Central Plains people who have penetrated most deeply into Southern Xinjiang.

The group of people climbed over mountains and ridges, and climbed another mountain top, and finally arrived at Qingzhu Village before the sun set at Shenshi.

At this time, everyone was standing on the hillside going down the mountain. Through the thick vegetation, they saw very obvious artificial traces not far away, as well as a building with bamboo as the main body, which was Qingzhu Village.

Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone to stop at this time. She wanted to take people back to talk to the clan leader first.

After all, Yang Yiyi and the others were all from the Central Plains. No Central Plains people had ever entered Qingzhu Village before. Going directly there would easily cause unnecessary commotion.

This is understandable. People from the Central Plains and people from outside the customs have been hostile to each other for a long time. Suddenly a group of Central Plains people came out. The logic is the same as a group of people from the Southern Xinjiang suddenly appearing in the villages and towns of the Central Plains. The local people will definitely be panicked.

Let Yang Yiyi and the others wait on the hillside, and then Ran Xiaoyi took the people back to Qingzhu Village.

Yang Yiyi was originally looking forward to tasting the local specialties and staying in a small bamboo house with southern Xinjiang characteristics when she entered Qingzhu Village.

Then they saw on the hillside that after Ran Xiaoyi walked into Qingzhu Village, the gate of the village was immediately closed, and they could hear noisy sounds coming from the village in the distance. Because they were all speaking in Southern Xinjiang dialect, everyone present was confused. I don’t quite understand.

Not long after, the noisy noise stopped and the gate of Qingzhu Village was reopened, but Yang Yiyi and the others waited, but Ran Xiaoyi did not come out again.

"Um...what happened?"

Everyone looked at each other, didn't they say that Qingzhu Village was safe? Was this an ambush?

No one present knew what happened to the people in southern Xinjiang, and they didn't know if it was their folk customs. But as it was getting dark, Ran Xiaoyi still didn't appear again. Now Yang Yiyi and the others finally couldn't wait any longer.

"I'm fast, I'll go take a look."

Yang Yiyi stood up and was about to make a big jump when Qin Yan grabbed her.

"Forget it, I'd better go. If you go, I'm afraid you'll get into a fight."

In terms of speed, Yang Yiyi is indeed powerful enough to fly bricks, but Qinggong is not just about speed. With her ability to destroy a parking lot with a tornado, if she went over to check it, it was obvious that she was telling the people in the village that I am hot on horseback!

"I'll go with Yanzi. We'll take care of each other. Don't wander around here. We'll come back as soon as we go."

Brother Jin also jumped out. Although he was fat, his body skills were unexpectedly handsome. Together with Qin Yan, the two of them disappeared deep into the woods in a few seconds, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

What the Sixteenth Village is best at is flying over eaves and walking over walls. Brother Jin is considered one of the best in Qinggong among the heroes of the Sixteenth Village. He goes with Qin Yan, so everyone can rest assured.

The remaining people also found a seat and sat down, waiting for new news. After waiting for less than a cup of tea, two figures appeared in the forest, and soon Qin Yan and Brother Jin came back.

But judging from the expression on his face, it doesn't look like good news.

"Then Ran Xiaoyi was imprisoned by the people from Qingzhu Village. We saw several large cages in the northwest corner of the village."

Yang Yiyi was puzzled after hearing this:

"Ah? Why? Doesn't it mean that Qingzhu Village doesn't want to stir up conflicts between Southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains with Baofeng Village?"

"Maybe Ran Xiaoyi is the only one who doesn't want to do this, or maybe Qingzhu Village has to temporarily ban Ran Xiaoyi under the pressure of Baofeng Village, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

Wu Shaoyi said at this time:

"What should we do now? Leave her behind and let's go directly to Baofeng Village to have a look? Maybe the missing Ning Nuxia and the others are also near Baofeng Village."

Anyway, Ran Xiaoyi was just banned. Wu Zhu's status in southern Xinjiang was very high. Even the clan leader couldn't do anything to her. She should be released in two days.

Moreover, Qingzhu Village is not far from Baofeng Village. If you keep going forward, you should be able to find it even if there is no guide.

"We are in southern Xinjiang and are not familiar with the place. We really shouldn't ask too much about the locals' affairs, but..."

"But our Sixteenth Village has no habit of leaving friends behind."

Qin Yan followed the second half of the sentence, which made the snitches from the Sixteenth Village cheer a little.

Indeed, the policy of the Sixteenth Village in the world is just four words: justice is as high as the sky.

Although Ran Xiaoyi was not from the Central Plains, she had saved everyone's lives before. It would not be feasible to ignore her at this time.

"Okay, okay, let's go straight in, right?"

Yang Yiyi was also very excited and took out the mace. She had been on the road in the past few days and had no chance to fight. Her hands were already itchy.

Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi couldn't help but hold their foreheads, you'd better just stay patient...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The structure of the village of the southern Xinjiang people is very similar to a barrel, with a circle of bamboo walls on the outside and buildings built inside.

This is done to prevent wild animals in the mountains and forests. In addition to the mosquitoes being much bigger than in other places, the wild animals are also much more cunning.

But the wall to prevent wild animals obviously cannot stop a group of high-flying people.

When the night deepened and it was completely dark, everyone started to act.

The heroes of the Sixteenth Village were absolutely professional. In the dark environment, they bypassed the sentry standing on the wall of Qingzhu Village and went around to the northwest corner of the village. At this time, not far away from the wall was the cage where Ran Xiaoyi was imprisoned.

A bamboo wall at least five or six meters high blocked the way, but there were masters with outstanding light skills who stepped on the bamboo joints a few times and climbed up without making any sound. They even squatted on the wall to observe. The bamboo was not even bent.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, they turned over and entered Qingzhu Village. Soon after, they threw out a rope to facilitate the people behind to come up.

Wu Shaoyi had difficulty walking, so she and the other two people from the Sixteen Villages watched the rope here. The others grabbed the rope and lined up faster than monkeys, and more than ten people went in.

Only when Yang Yiyi went up, the movement was a little loud, but it did not attract extra attention.

When I climbed over the wall, the first thing I smelled was a stench. There was a pigpen nearby, and the smell was quite touching.

But the good thing was that no one put torches in the pigpen, and the darkness nearby was the best cover.

And Ran Xiaoyi was on the open space on the other side, where the lights were bright and it was very clear.
