After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

Yan Shixun kept remembering the things about the small wooden building next door, so he was absent-minded about lunch, only Lu Xingxing saw that his chopsticks hadn't moved, and insisted on bringing sweet potatoes to him, so he ate a few bites casually.

Whether it was the chrysanthemum pattern that was carved everywhere before, or the old woman with a weird disability in her lower body, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But even stranger, was himself.

Yan Shixun asked himself that he was not a forgetful person, but just for a short while at lunch, he clearly remembered to go to the next door and ask the old lady again to find out what she hadn't said, but in the blink of an eye he would forget about it. Forget about this thought.

He could feel soberly and calmly that his whole body was as if soaked in hot water. The steam opened every pore on his body, and all the exhaustion and negative emotions accumulated in his body were completely removed.

Only happiness and pleasure remain.

What is man like when he is in bliss?

The brain stopped spinning, and the original vigilance was slack, except for lazily letting the time pass by, he would not bring up any thoughts that would make the brain suffer from fatigue.

Yan Shixun could sense that he was in such a state at the moment.

But it was precisely this emotion that made him feel funny.

There are very few places where he can really let go of all his defenses, so far there is only that small courtyard in Binhai City.

Since Li Chengyun's death, he has stood up to his own world, and his steel-like spine has never been bent by the burden on his shoulders.

But correspondingly...he has never let go of his vigilance against humans, gods and ghosts.

When Yan Shixun was on guard because of his state, he also found that he seemed unable to remember the things that made him vigilant.

Even if it is human nature to forget what you want to take when you enter the kitchen, it is still unreasonable if it happens more than a dozen times in a short period of time.

It seems that he has been inputting data into his mind, and a pair of invisible hands have been deleting the corresponding data.

Yan Shixun raised his eyes and calmly looked at the people around him.

The guests were still happily discussing what they saw just now, the scenery of the village and the kind old people. They were beaming with joy when they talked about it, and no one seemed to notice something was wrong.

Because the guests have to be filmed, they and the staff have the same food, and eat separately on both sides.

The guests here are still marveling at the pure sweet green of the crops, but the staff on the other side seem unmotivated when faced with the same food.

I don't know if it's because I'm too tired today, and several staff members have been drinking water.

Some even scratched their necks while drinking. The skin was already red with spots and red spots. It looked like it had been seriously damaged, and scratching it would definitely break the skin.

Yan Shixun originally wanted to see who else had similar feelings besides himself, but he didn't expect the staff over there to attract his attention first.

He got up and walked over, asking, "Are you allergic?"

The staff member was scratching his neck in annoyance, unaware that he had scratched himself.

At this moment, when he heard Yan Shixun's question, he raised his head in surprise, and then he took advantage of Yan Shixun's movement of tapping his neck from the air, and found that his neck was abnormal.

When he raised his hand to look, there was also a little blood in the nails, which was the scratched skin tissue.

The staff member was startled, and suddenly came back to his senses, not knowing what he had just done to cause this. It took him half a beat to realize that his entire skin seemed to be itching.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan."

Seeing that Yan Shixun came here during the filming, the staff worried that it would affect the normal shooting of the show, so they smiled apologetically and said, "I am indeed allergic to pollen, I probably got it accidentally."

pollen?

Spring and fall are the hardest times for people with pollen allergies, especially spring.But winter is relatively comfortable in the four seasons.

This person can get pollen in winter...

Yan Shixun thought of the chrysanthemums blooming in the small wooden building next door.

However, Yan Shixun was aware of the staff's movements. Although he didn't pay attention to what they did, when he checked the strange patterns in his room, he paid attention to the safety of the staff.

He remembered very clearly that the staff had a lot of work to be done before dark, so they stayed in the living room of the small building all the time, and went to shoot exterior scenes sporadically for later editing of travel promotional videos.

But this person with allergies has been in the living room all the time, so it stands to reason that he has no chance of encountering those chrysanthemums.

But now is not the time to talk about it.

Yan Shixun directly raised his hand to hold the man's arm, lifted him up from the seat, and looked closely at the skin on his neck.

"You know you are allergic, so have you brought your medicine?"

Yan Shixun frowned and asked, "Don't scratch, it's hard to deal with broken skin."

In the wild, the worst fear is an open wound.

If there is no broken skin, with the protection of the skin, most of the bacteria can be avoided, and the injury can be slowly recovered by relying on the body's self-healing ability.

But once the skin is broken and the unprotected wound comes into contact with air and other unknown objects, it is likely to be infected and cause more serious complications.

After all, in the wild in the mountains, no one can say that there is any potential danger. If there is a big problem, it is difficult to get out of the mountain, and it is impossible to get timely and professional rescue.

At this moment, Yan Shixun held the man's hands tightly to prevent him from scratching his skin any further.

Although the staff still felt that his skin was itchy, he himself had followed many program groups and knew a lot about first aid and survival in the wild, so he understood that Yan Shixun was thinking of himself.

So he smiled gratefully at Yan Shixun: "I carry the medicine with me, it's upstairs, I can get it myself, Mr. Yan, go back quickly, don't delay the shooting."

The other party's expression was very sincere, and Yan Shixun would not forcibly disobey other people's wishes, especially if this was not a big deal, since the other party has been allergic all year round and brought medicine with him, he must have experience in dealing with it.

If he intervenes forcefully, it will delay the matter.

Yan Shixun stood where he was, frowning tightly, watching the staff creak the wooden stairs and went upstairs.

The audience in front of Yan Shixun's split screen did not understand why Yan Shixun paid attention to the staff here.

[In general variety shows, people behind the scenes will be avoided, right?Why did Brother Yan take the initiative to look for it? ]

[Hey, when did Brother Yan remember that he was on the live broadcast... Everyone else tried to perform as well as possible before the live broadcast, Brother Yan?It's good for him to care about the live broadcast. ]

[However, when we got close just now, the camera almost hit the opponent's body, which shocked me!That's too red, and the allergies are horrible. ]

[Although I am also allergic and have small bumps, but I was shocked just now. ]

[The scratches scratched out look a bit like chrysanthemums?What's the matter with being a little nice? ]

[Almost, there is a kind of chrysanthemum with long petals, and the one I scratched with my fingernails is also a long strip, it does look a bit like it if you don't look closely. ]

[Blood-red chrysanthemums, no wonder I just thought they were blood-red chrysanthemums. We use chrysanthemums to pay homage to the graves here.I feel uncomfortable seeing this flower. ]

[ah?Our customs are different. Chrysanthemums here represent longevity. Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums are actually very good. ]

Because the figure of the staff member quickly disappeared in front of the camera, the audience just chatted casually, and soon lost interest and moved to other topics.

It was Yan Shixun, who stood there for a long time, until An Nanyuan realized that someone was missing and came to him.

"Brother Yan, what are you looking at?"

With a sweet potato in his mouth, An Nanyuan crossed Yan Shixun's shoulder curiously, wanting to see what interesting things were attracting Yan Shixun's attention.

But only empty wooden stairs.

It seems that because the building has been built for a long time and is close to the water, the wooden structure swells and shrinks due to moisture, so even if no one walks by, the wooden stairs make a slight creaking sound under the breeze.

It seems that there is someone who can't see, grinning, standing on the stairs quietly watching the people who know nothing in the room.

Blood snaked from the man's feet, and the stairs were stained the color of mahogany.

There was light in his empty grinning mouth, like a layer of cardboard, turning into a black and white silhouette under the light.

An Nanyuan trembled from the shock of his brain, he quickly closed his eyes and looked again, there was clearly nothing on the stairs.

Only the wooden stairs were still creaking.

An Nan originally wanted to come to Yan Shixun, but he didn't expect that he seemed to have frightened himself, so he quickly grabbed Yan Shixun's arm to seek comfort.

Yan Shixun looked at the sweet potato residue that An Nanyuan rubbed onto his shirt cuff.

"........."

He raised his eyes and looked at An Nanyuan speechlessly, his eyes seemed to say: Have you been brought down by Zhang's serious illness?

I'm afraid that the people around him need to change their names. An Youbing, Lu Youbing, Zhang Youbing... Why do they all like to rub things on him?

Yan Shixun's forehead twitched, and even his commercial smirk became ferocious.

An Nanyuan reacted subconsciously when he was frightened just now. He didn't remember that he still had something in his hand, and smiled awkwardly for a moment, trying to raise his hand to erase the "evidence".

Yan Shixun gently raised his hand to avoid it, but asked about another matter.

"An Nanyuan, why do you look so happy?"

Yan Shixun stared fixedly at An Nanyuan, not letting go of any slight change in expression on his face, and asked calmly: "You are still in a lawsuit with the original company, and you still have to guard against the slander from the previous members of the group, and you have to stop Setting up a studio from scratch, with so many things piled up, even with Song Ci and the others helping you, it is by no means an easy solution.”

"But why have you never shown any worries about those trivial matters since you entered the mountain?"

Yan Shixun just doesn't care about the entertainment industry, but it doesn't mean he will ignore the voices in his ears.

On the way here, An Nanyuan had been talking to Lu Xingxing in the commercial vehicle, and would bring a few Song Ci from time to time, talking about his recent contract disputes.

After all, An Nanyuan is also top traffic now, and it is impossible for the original company to let go of it willingly and directly. Even if the Song family is on An Nanyuan's side, the original company has never done less in private.

Coupled with the establishment of a studio, An Nanyuan needs to switch from the original "managed" state to the "managed" state. Novices will always encounter various problems that they could not have imagined before.

Before he came to participate in the filming of this issue, An Nanyuan was almost crazy, with countless tasks piled up in his mind, not to mention happiness, he was almost oppressed and numb.

There is no suitable confidant for these pressures, because the promotion is too fast, and An Nanyuan has no friends in the circle, only colleagues and competitors, so the complaints are piled up in An Nanyuan's heart.

It wasn't until he saw Lu Xingxing and Song Ci that he happily dragged each other to pour out their bitterness.

Song Ci said so much that he wanted to hit someone.

But because of this, Yan Shixun listened to them chatting in the car, and also knew about An Nanyuan's recent experience.

But after entering the mountain, An Nanyuan didn't mention these things.

If An Nanyuan didn't care about it because the mountain road was difficult and dangerous when entering the mountain, that's understandable.

But now?

An Nanyuan was smiling all the time, with a relaxed and happy expression on his face. It was not a fake smile of the boy group's business nature, but a genuine one.

——He really felt very happy.

Yan Shixun didn't think that An Nan was a big-hearted person, he was different from Lu Xingxing, he always had a clear plan for himself, and he would not abandon his work just because he was just having fun.

It was also because of understanding that Yan Shixun felt that An Nanyuan's smile was wrong no matter how he looked at it.

"what?"

An Nanyuan was stunned for a moment by the question, and then he raised his head and tried to remember.

"Hmm...it seems so."

He scratched his head and was also a little confused: "But I don't know why, I always feel that as soon as I think about it, I will forget those things, and I just feel that I should focus on happier things."

An Nanyuan tried his best to recall, but the previous work that bothered him was still like a slippery fish, slipping away without being able to catch it.

He tried to express his feelings to Yan Shixun: "It's like a funnel that filters out all the things that make me unhappy, leaving only happy things. It's like there is a hole in my head, those things are not Can't catch it."

Seeing that An Nanyuan also had similar feelings to himself, Yan Shixun's face gradually became serious.

People have the instinct to protect themselves, and the brain will process unbearable things into acceptable images to prevent people from collapsing because they cannot accept the stimulus.

But Yan Shixun didn't think his situation at this time was because of this...they are fundamentally different.

It seems that a certain existence does not want people to remember painful things, so people are happy even when they remember.

An Nanyuan also only recalled that he still had a lot of things to solve outside the mountain during the short time he talked with Yan Shixun.

Immediately, he immediately forgot about it, and asked Yan Shixun with a smile again if he wanted to eat more, the crops here are really delicious.

An Nanyuan also said with emotion: "The life outside the mountain was busy before, and I didn't know what I was living. Now thinking about it, it seems like a lifetime away, so far away that I almost can't think about it."

He raised the sweet potato in his hand and looked at the warm yellow light from the sun. He was also contaminated by the heat and sweetness of the sweet potato, and smiled unconsciously.

"It's so good, this is life... After a slow life, and delicious food, I'm so happy that I don't want to go back."

Yan Shixun has seen many people under great pressure, and they have said similar things, saying that they want to get out of city life and go to the pastoral life.

But many people who say this, even if they are sincere, will not really do it.

Adults have too many ties and responsibilities.

For example, if An Nanyuan really stayed in the mountains at this time and would not go out again, those who supported him to leave the company, as well as the assistant operation makeup artist and other personnel who were taken away by him from the original company, would have to face Severe economic and career crisis.

You can talk about it, but you can't actually do it.

But at this time Yan Shixun looked at An Nanyuan and suddenly felt that An Nanyuan was sincere.

Yan Shixun frowned, and wanted to ask something, but the guest over there found the two talking alone here, and immediately smiled and shouted: "What are you whispering over there? Let us listen too."

Lu Xingxing held up the food in his hand and booed: "Auntie is in the room, brother Yan, you actually did such a thing, it's really disgusting! Are you worthy of Auntie?"

Because Lu Xingxing's voice was intentionally funny, according to Lu Xingxing's usual personality, everyone thought he was joking, and was made to laugh out loud, but no one took it seriously.

An Nanyuan also scolded with a smile: "Lu Xingxing, let your fans see what you look like now. You are still an independent musician. I am afraid that you are not an independent three-year-old child?"

As he said that, An Nanyuan ran over to chase Lu Xingxing, and the two of them ran around the huge wooden table in the living room, like crazy dogs.

The laughter of everyone in the living room almost toppled the roof, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and there was no abnormality to be found.

Yan Shixun watched quietly for a moment, and wanted to go out to find a guide.

But when he raised his hand, he saw the sweet potato crumbs on his cuff.

On the black shirt fabric, the orange-red sweet potato pieces are so conspicuous, and they are still a little wet.

Yan Shixun: "..."

Gee.

Yan Shixun refused to wear such a dirty dress, so he went back to his room to change, but when he opened the door, he saw that Ye Li was not in the room.

He wondered in his heart, and after two quick steps, his field of vision changed, and he saw Ye Li standing on the balcony outside, his tall body standing silently, like a lifeless statue.

Yan Shixun felt strange.

No matter where he went before, whenever he turned around, he could see Ye Li by his side, but just now he wasn't there.

And since entering the mountain today, Ye Li's behavior is not quite right, his face has been gloomy, as if he is angry.

But, what else can't be solved by ghosts and gods?

In Yan Shixun's view, Ye Li should be similar to himself, both of them have the character of revenge on the spot.Especially Ye Li has such a huge power, if he is angry, how can he sulk in a place where no one is around?

No matter how you think about it, it's weird.

"Ye Li?"

Yan Shixun walked over strangely, stood beside Ye Li, and followed his gaze.

The river under the wooden balcony is rushing happily, and the water mist splashed when it hits the boulders in the river rushes over, bringing a cool and sweet atmosphere.

But there is nothing that can attract Ye Li's attention, or something abnormal.

Yan Shixun looked at it several times, but he didn't see any problem with the river water, instead it was full of vitality and full of spirituality.

Even though he was wary of Changshou Village because of some weird details, in all fairness, the environment of Changshou Village was indeed good.

Although he has traveled all over the country, this is the first time he has seen such clear water without impurities. It is sweet and refreshing, and most importantly, it has a vitality that is not found in other places.

If Wild Wolf Peak hadn't been destroyed by the evil god, under the blessing of the mountain god, the water there would have almost reached this level.

But the fact is that even places like Wild Wolf Peak where mountain gods survived are rare, not to mention that in recent years, the remaining divine power in the world has gradually faded, and such aura has long since disappeared.

Yan Shixun stood beside Ye Li and watched for a long time, but he couldn't find out what he was looking at, so he asked puzzledly, "Are you just looking at the scenery here?"

In his impression, Ye Li was not like this kind of person.

Ye Li's crow-like eyelashes trembled, and the moment he raised his eyes, he hid the deep dark light in his eyes deeper, and when he looked at Yan Shixun again, he had restored his usual smile.

"No, just remembering."

The presence of Yan Shixun made the coldness around Ye Li subside little by little, and restored the freshness of the human world.

"Have you been here?" Yan Shixun said in surprise, "Seeing that you don't like the world so much, I thought you would stay away."

"I have also walked the world before."

Ye Li didn't expect that his image in Yan Shixun's heart would be misunderstood like this, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but he smiled helplessly and tolerantly: "I have given the world opportunities... many times."

"It's the human world that can't catch it by itself."

Ye Li looked sideways slightly, looking at the mountains in the distance, his eyes became darker: "I don't have a good impression of the southern region...."

"But that was before I met you. After I met you, I also had a good impression of the world."

Ye Li smiled lightly: "If you are in the southern region, then I might like the southern region a little more because of this, it's not impossible."

Yan Shixun didn't expect Ye Li to talk about it just because he came back to change clothes, and he froze in place for a while, not knowing how to react.

He was just not sensitive to feelings, and he didn't care about his own feelings at all. He never thought that he would form such a causal relationship with others, so naturally he would not think about it.

However, Lan Ze's blunt statement before made Yan Shixun feel in a dilemma.

He didn't think what Lanze said was true, and even felt absurd and unreal.

But every time Yan Shixun felt that Lan Ze was wrong, and that Ye Li was not what Lan Ze said, Ye Li would always do something that broke his judgment.

Like now.

Ye Li's unabashed love for Wu and Wu is so obvious to Yan Shixun.

His lips moved, he didn't know how to answer this, it took him a long time to cough, and quickly pushed Ye Li outside as if evading.

Ye Li: "Huh?"

Yan Shixun said seriously: "I want to change clothes, you avoid it."

Ye Li laughed: "Didn't you change your clothes in front of me before? You don't need to hide from men, but you said it before."

Yan Shixun's face was calm, but the skin covered by the scattered hair on the sideburns had a tinge of red that could not be noticed by others.

"Now I feel the need." Yan Shixun's expression looked the same as usual, and his tone did not change: "Or you can change with Zhang Wubing, and I will share a room with him."

Ye Li helplessly raised his arms, signaling that he would go out now.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Yan Shixun let out a long breath, and raised his hand to touch his cheek with the cool back of his hand.

He thought it might be because the temperature of his palm was too low, otherwise why would he feel his cheeks were so hot.

He stood on the spot and took a few deep breaths before he calmed down and returned to normal. He quickly took out a spare shirt from his backpack and put it on.

Ye Li outside the door heard the faint sound of cloth rubbing from the room, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He shook his head lightly, ignored the laughter in the living room, and walked out from the small building door.

As the sun fell, Ye Li's thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a shadow under the eyes, making the already cold and sharp eyes even darker and more dangerous.

He looked at Changshou Village with a gloomy and cold gaze.

No matter whether it is a human being, a god or a ghost, they will run away in fear the moment they meet such eyes.

But in Changshou Village, the old people sitting outside basking in the sun are still smiling peacefully, as if the existence of Yeli itself is meaningless to them.

The old people are still doing their own things, or carrying poles to fetch water home, or walking like flying in the vegetable garden, or greeting each other with great vigor.

It is not at all obvious that they are actually over a hundred years old.

Some old people even saw a figure standing in front of the small building of the guests, and raised their hands with a smile, greeting them from a distance.

Ye Li's eyes swept over the old man who greeted him, his cold eyes couldn't reflect the figure of the other party.

His gaze passed through the wooden houses and turned to the mountain stream wrapped in mist in the distance.

……

Yan Shixun's slender and flexible fingers fastened the buttons of his shirt one by one, and his fluctuating mood returned to calm.

Just when he was about to open the door and go out to find the guide, he heard a voice from outside the balcony.

Two old men rolled up their trousers and were standing beside the river to fetch water. There were poles and wooden barrels at their feet. It seemed that they were fetching water home in the traditional way.

But before fetching water, the two old men squatted down and muttered something lightly and quickly into the river.

It was like some kind of ancient and mysterious rhythm, but all the syllables were mixed together, making Yan Shixun unable to tell what they were talking about.

The old man muttered for a long time before bowing to the river with a very solemn expression, like devout believers paying homage to the Buddha statue in a temple.

Then they picked up the wooden barrels and skillfully fetched water.

Because the old people turned their backs to Yan Shixun, he couldn't see what the old people were doing, so he could only walk a few steps closer, trying to judge from the old people's movements.

After fetching water, the old man got up together, and saw Yan Shixun on the balcony not far away, immediately put on a cheerful smile, and greeted Yan Shixun heartily.

"It's a guest, how about it, are you still used to it?"

The old man smiled and said: "There is no livestock like pigs in the village, so we have to prepare some dishes for you that we often eat. I don't know if you are used to eating them. I am afraid that it will make your life here uncomfortable." Glad, I scolded Ah Ye a few words just now."

Another old man answered, "That's right, you children have suffered a lot outside the mountain, and it's hard for you to relax a bit, so I'm afraid I'll neglect you."

Although they were also asking about eating, the two old people were different from the old lady Yan Shixun met next door.

The old lady gave Yan Shixun the feeling that she sincerely wanted to cook meals for the younger generation.And these two old people... their attitudes were as if they were asking if they were feeding the pigs.

Yan Shixun frowned, but because the person who was smiling all the time was an old man, he couldn't keep a cold face, so he nodded his head slightly as an answer.

Because there is a half-meter overhead floor below the first floor, it is inconvenient for the old man to talk to Yan Shixun while looking up.

Yan Shixun noticed this, and also wanted to see the old man fetching water up close, so he supported the wooden railing with his hand, and his slender body jumped directly from the balcony and landed firmly on the ground.

The old man didn't expect the guest to have such good skills this time, he couldn't control his expression for a while, showing a look of surprise.

But he quickly recovered his cheerful look: "The guest is very skilled."

When Yan Shixun took a closer look, he saw clear river water rippling in the opponent's wooden barrel.

"Old man, I see that there is a well in the yard. Why don't you use well water? It's much more convenient than carrying water like you do."

Yan Shixun raised his finger and pointed to the village behind him, and said, "Why has the well been abandoned for so long?"

The old man didn't expect Yan Shixun to notice the well, so he was caught off guard and froze for a long time before speaking again: "There's a reason for this, I don't want to use it..."

Halfway through the conversation, the old man next to him patted him on the shoulder, took the conversation with a smile, and said, "I don't know if the guest has heard the rumors about our village."

"Although many people say that the water and soil here are good, we actually think that the water quality of the river should be good."

The old man who answered the conversation said: "The well water is ground water, and the river water is the water flowing from the upstream mountains. Of course it is different. You have never tasted the well water. It is astringent and bitter, and it is difficult to drink. But this river water is different. "

The old man smiled and said, "Who likes bitter when you have sweet?"

Yan Shixun made a look of concern for the other party, and asked: "The old man can also let the juniors in the family carry water, instead of doing such a heavy work by himself. However, I didn't seem to see any young people along the way. ? Did they hang out?"

When Yan Shixun was at the old woman's place before, he wanted to ask this doubt, but the old woman repeatedly said "It's good to be alive", and refused to answer his question no matter what.

So at this time, Yan Shixun was trying to get the answer from the old man's reaction.

——What the other party said may be deceiving him, but the slightest reaction of the other party cannot deceive people, that is human instinct.

However, the old man didn't feel that this was a sensitive and offensive topic, and just sighed: "Young children, they have their own careers, don't need old people like us."

Another old man nodded: "Fortunately, our own bodies are still strong, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to survive this day."

He sighed and said: "The children have all gone out to work, and we just want to keep them around and we can't bear it. After a long time, they don't want to come back, so that's it."

There was a little loneliness and melancholy on the faces of the old people. One of the old people looked remorseful for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

Yan Shixun agreed with this statement.

Indeed, there are indeed situations where young people go out to work and the elderly in the village stay behind.In addition, Changshou Village is located in a remote place, so it is understandable that it is inconvenient for people who go out to come back.

"What about the people who came to settle here before?"

Yan Shixun keenly noticed that there were no outsiders in the village, and he didn't directly believe the other party's statement at this time, but pointed out the abnormality to the point.

You must know that the reason why Changshou Village is famous is due to the first batch of backpackers and settlers. Because of the photos and travel notes they sent out, everyone knew that there was such a village, and then they came here admiringly.

And those who are attracted are naturally people with similar tendencies.

For example, serious illness does not want to drag the family members down, such as people who are tired of city life and want to retire leisurely.

Those people were all middle-aged or even young people, but Yan Shixun still didn't see them in the village, and he didn't even find the houses where they settled down.

The old man calmly said, "Hey, there is nothing good in the mountains. Those people came to live for a while, but they couldn't last long and couldn't bear the boredom in the mountains, so they left."

The other old man nodded, a little regretful: "I quite like that photographer, it's a pity."

Yan Shixun frowned: "But the outside world has never heard of them going back."

Those who come to settle in Changshou Village usually live in Changshou Village for a few months first, and then return home to deal with everything, and then come to Changshou Village. There is no news of them from the outside world, whether they are wives, children, relatives or friends.

Everyone thought that Changshou Village was really a fairy place, which attracted so many people to live in seclusion.

But in the mouths of the old people, it turned into another story.

Faced with Yan Shixun's question, the old man shook his head calmly: "Then I don't know. After they left, I don't know what happened to them outside the village."

Another smiled and said, "It's no match for you young people. We don't use mobile phones or anything like that. Look at our terrain. It's difficult to get in and out of the mountains, and we have no contact with the outside world."

No matter what Yan Shixun asked, the old man could give an answer that seemed to have no questions. From the beginning to the end, there was no abnormal expression, sincere and kind, like an elder in the family who answered all questions.

But Yan Shixun just felt that something was wrong.

The old man quickly fetched water, waved goodbye to Yan Shixun with his shoulder pole, and invited Yan Shixun and others to visit their house when they had time.

Yan Shixun bid farewell to the old people politely, but did not respond to their words.

Because of the abnormality before, Yan Shixun was vigilant, and didn't want to form such a karma with the old man.

For ordinary people, perfunctory polite words are already common, but if the other party comes from a wrong way, they will rashly agree to the other party's invitation...

Yan Shixun's eyes dimmed, and he stood by the river sideways, watching the two old men walking together and walking back to the village.

It wasn't until he could no longer see the two old men that he strode towards the small wooden building next door, wanting to see the old woman again.

Because the old woman is different from all the old people he has seen so far, Yan Shixun concluded that if there is really an abnormality in the village, the only one who can tell him about the abnormality is the old woman.

However, the small wooden building next door was quiet and there was no one there.

The rocking chair behind the window was still rattling.

The old lady sitting on it was gone.
