Without Chang Wenwen's harassment, Chang Lili excitedly took Yun Chu and the other three to wander around the village.

The Changshou Village is neither big nor small, with a total of several hundred people living there.

According to Chang Lili, except for a small number of outsiders, the rest of the villagers have the surname Chang, which also shows that the longevity village should be a place where close relatives marry and there is internal consumption.

The entire Changshou Village is located at the foot of a mountain. Behind the village is a quiet forest, and at a glance it is filled with lush and tall trees.

The five of them set out from Uncle Chang's house and walked towards the village exit, and they just happened to return to Uncle Chang's house.

As for Chang Wenwen? Never mind her.

Chang Lili pulled a piece of wild grass from the roadside and played with it in her hand. After walking for a while, she pointed to a house not far away and said,

"That's my cousin's grandfather. He's the only one left in his family. It's said that his daughter suddenly disappeared when she was a teenager."

"Suddenly disappeared? Without leaving any clues?" Wan Tingxin asked curiously.

The house not far away was a bit dilapidated, and the ground was even overgrown with weeds. It was hard to imagine that an old grandfather actually lived here.

"It's strange that there's nothing left. After his daughter disappeared, my great-grandmother fell ill and died not long after. For so many years, my great-grandfather has been living alone."

Chang Lili sighed, her words filled with sympathy and pity.

Yun Chu looked at the small house thoughtfully. A teenage girl suddenly disappeared from her home overnight. Either she ran away on her own or someone came in and kidnapped her, but either explanation was unclear.

From Chang Lili, we learned that the old couple loved their daughter very much, otherwise the mother would not have fallen ill after her daughter disappeared, and the father would not have even cared about anything and let the house remain in such a dilapidated state.

If the daughter left on her own, there is no reason for her not to come back to see her loving parents for decades.

But it would be even more strange if she was kidnapped at home. A teenage girl is quite strong, but the couple didn't hear any sound of someone breaking into the house?

Just as Yun Chu was thinking, a slovenly old man walked out of the small shabby house and walked towards them.

"It's Li girl." The old man smiled kindly at Chang Lili.

"Hello, cousin. By the way, these are the guests who came from outside the village yesterday. I am showing them around." Chang Lili seemed a little embarrassed in front of the old man.

"Outside guests..." The old man looked at Yun Chu and the others with complicated eyes, opened his mouth to say something, but finally looked at Chang Lili, sighed and walked away.

"Your great-grandfather looks a little strange." Miao Yuan stroked his chin. His sixth sense told him that this old man had a story.

Chang Lili said helplessly, "I'm also very afraid of him. Ever since his daughter disappeared, he has been depressed and has been doing nothing and running to the back mountain every day. Only the village chief has pity on him and sends him food and money."

Back mountain?

Yun Chu looked back at the old man's back as he walked towards the back mountain, and keenly felt that there must be something behind his daughter's disappearance.

The few of them continued walking forward while chatting, and soon they arrived at a very luxurious house. The three-story house was even more magnificent than the blue brick building of Uncle Chang and Uncle Chang II.

"This is the village chief's house. Let's go. Don't let that annoying Chang Zhenzhu see us."

Chang Lili pushed the others forward anxiously, but after a few steps, she met the village chief who had just returned from outside.

"Girl Li is here? Come in and sit down, don't be shy."

At the call of the village chief, the five people had no choice but to step into the yard.

Chang Lili followed Yun Chu with an unhappy look on her face. If the village chief hadn't spoken, she would have run away long ago.

A young woman was washing clothes in the yard, and a girl about thirteen or fourteen was lying on a bamboo rocking chair beside her.

"Lili is here?" The young woman stopped washing clothes and greeted Chang Lili.

"Sister Jingjing."

Chang Lili responded politely.

It turned out that the young woman washing clothes was Uncle Chang’s eldest daughter, Chang Jingjing.

At this time, the girl lying on the recliner stood up swiftly and walked towards Chang Lili fiercely: "Why are you in my house again! Who said last time that you would never come again!"

"I didn't want to come. It was the village chief who asked me to come in." Seeing Chang Zhenzhu, Chang Lili felt her head swelling.

Chang Zhenzhu wanted to say something else but was interrupted by the village chief: "Okay Zhenzhu! A guest is talking nonsense."

Chang Zhenzhu then noticed that there were four unfamiliar people nearby, especially the two men, who were much better looking than the boys in the village.

Yun Chu silently observed Chang Zhenzhu. She was not very old, and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. No wonder the village chief let Chen Yunfei and Miao Yuan live in Uncle Chang's house.

There is no way that an adult man in his twenties and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen will spark chemistry.

At this time, an old lady came out of the house. She must be the village chief's wife.

"Lili has brought guests to play, so please stay for lunch."

The kind-faced grandmother pulled Yun Chu and the others into the house.

"Before we left, my mother asked us to go back early to eat. If we go back late, she will be worried."

Chang Lili quickly refused. She didn't want to stay for dinner at Chang Zhenzhu's house, otherwise she would be nagged by her again.

"Go away, go away. Your pig stomach can eat my family into bankruptcy." Chang Zhenzhu said provocatively and made faces from behind.

Chang Lili suppressed her anger and didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Yun Chu and the others, so she could only walk out of the village chief's house with a sour face.

Yun Chu hadn't walked a few steps when he heard the village chief's wife scolding Chang Jingjing from behind.

"I haven't eaten yet. It's so late and I can't finish the laundry. I don't know what Junhao sees in you!"

Yun Chu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the village chief’s wife was not so gentle and kind. No wonder Chang Zhenzhu, the girl she taught, was so well-educated.

After walking for a while, Chang Lili kicked a stone on the roadside and angrily cursed at the weeds on the roadside.

"That damned girl Chang Zhenzhu has been scolded by her again. I have insisted on not going into the village chief's house for 21 days, but I didn't expect that I would fail today. Just wait, I will grab her pigtails and teach her a lesson sooner or later!"

Yun Chu and the others looked at the angry Chang Lili silently. It seemed that she was quite resentful.

It's no wonder. The village chief is highly respected and authoritative in Changshou Village, and Chang Zhenzhu has been pampered since she was a child. Adults don't bother with her, and children don't dare to mess with her, which leads to Chang Zhenzhu becoming more and more spoiled.

Although Chang Lili was not afraid of Chang Zhenzhu, she had no choice but to scold his granddaughter in front of him.

In addition, her family often warned her not to bully Chang Zhenzhu, so Chang Lili had to avoid Chang Zhenzhu. She would only say a few minor words to retort when she couldn't bear it anymore.

After venting her emotions, Chang Lili let out a long sigh of relief. Then she realized that there were four people behind her and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"I...I am usually very quiet. Just now was an exception. Just pretend you didn't see it."
