“Since there is such a great place, wouldn’t it be a pity not to experience it for yourself?”
"Brother, please take us there too."
I said to the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's easy to talk, as long as your girlfriend doesn't get angry!"
The middle-aged man glanced at Lonnie and said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, our relationship is relatively open and we won't interfere with him."
Lonnie glanced at me and said lightly.
I was the only one who noticed the warning in her eyes, so I quickly smiled and indicated that I just said that just to find Anjing, and had no other thoughts.
"Okay, let's set off together later."
When the middle-aged man saw this, he agreed.
After a while, the rain stopped and the sky cleared. We got out of the cave and, led by the middle-aged man, continued towards the middle of the mountain.
On the way, I learned that this middle-aged man’s surname was Cai, and he was the manager of a listed company in Kyoto. The young man next to him was called Xiao Ma, and he was his subordinate. Xiao Ma had just been dumped by his girlfriend recently, and he was depressed and had problems at work. Unable to cheer up, Manager Cai thought of such a place and took Xiao Ma here to relax.
"I see that Brother Xiao Ma is a talented person and he works in a listed company. Why did your girlfriend break up?"
I asked a little confused.
"well……"
Xiao Ma sighed, as if he didn't want to say more.
"What other reason could there be? It's either a house or a car."
Manager Cai was the first to say: "Xiao Ma is indeed very good, but he can't afford to buy a house in a place like Kyoto where land is so expensive. His girlfriend doesn't want to wait any longer and is seduced by a rich second generation. Xiao Ma is also attracted by It breaks my heart.”
"It just so happens that a friend of mine said a long time ago that there are mountains, water and beauties here, so I brought Pony here, hoping to relax here and maybe help him find true love!"
"Manager Cai, you are such a good person for helping your subordinates so enthusiastically."
I gave a thumbs up and praised Manager Cai.
"Hehe, I am his boss after all. If Xiao Ma is not in a good mood, it will also affect the performance of our department. This is what I should do."
Manager Cai was not modest either and said with a proud face.
However, it was obvious that this guy was pretending to help Xiao Ma relax, and that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to come and hunt for her.
I didn't expose him, so I responded with a smile and continued moving forward.
As we walked, a dense peach forest gradually appeared in our sight. Although the flowering period had passed, the remaining petals were piled all over the ground, and we could still see the prosperity of the place when it was in full bloom.
Along a path in the middle, passing through the peach grove, the view suddenly becomes wider. The slope of the mountain in front is gentle and downward. Several neatly repaired terraces are located among them. Crops such as potatoes are planted in the fields. The man is bending down and working hard.
Below the terraces, a stream meanders, and several women in costumes are washing clothes on the bank.
Each of these women was fair-skinned and beautiful, about 28 years old. They were laughing and playing while washing clothes, almost transfixing us.
"It's true that there are so many beauties, it seems we are in the right place!"
Manager Cai's eyes flashed with burning light, and he took the first step and walked towards the women.
Lonnie, Bai Ze, I looked at each other, followed closely behind, and walked to those women.
"Hello, beautiful ladies!"
Manager Cai said with a smile: "We are tourists from out of town and came here accidentally. I wonder if some ladies can find us a place to stay?"
The women chatted and discussed for a while, and then a woman wearing a silver hat came out and smiled charmingly at us.
"It turns out you are a guest from afar. Welcome to our old friend's village."
Manager Cai was immediately overjoyed: "Old Friends Village, it's really a good name. You and I really hit it off!"
After that, a few women stopped working and took us around the terraced fields to the village behind.
The village is built on the mountain. Dozens of stilted buildings are built in the mountain and spiral up. There is an open-air square in the middle with an altar placed on it, which must be the place where the villagers hold ceremonies.
At the top is a three-story building, surrounded by stars and the moon. It is luxurious and looks like the largest building in the entire village.
The woman in the silver hat took us to the open-air square, where dozens or hundreds of female villagers gathered. Everyone was dressed up and smiling, and they were busy setting up in the square.
There are countless flower baskets placed in the center of the square, filled with various kinds of chicken, duck and fish. The fragrance is so fragrant that it will make people drool.
Among the busy villagers, I suddenly spotted a few men sitting around a round table, eating and drinking.
At a rough glance, there were seven or eight people in this group, all of them men. They were tall and thick-set, with ferocious faces. They all had large tattoos on their arms. At first glance, they were not good people.
"They are also tourists from out of town. The village is organizing a bonfire dinner to entertain them. You came at the right time."
The woman in the silver hat pointed at the men and introduced them to us.
After Manager Cai saw those people, a look of fear suddenly appeared, and the pride he felt just now had long since disappeared.
At this time, those men also noticed us and immediately cast unkind glances at us.
"Sisters, we have a new guest in our village!"
The woman with the silver hat didn't notice the expressions of those people. She just waved to the women in the village and said solemnly.
"Today is a grand festival for our old friends' village. Everyone is ready to make sure that the guests come with joy and return with satisfaction!"
"good!"
The girls responded in unison, enthusiastically.
More and more delicacies are being delivered from the stilted building, the fruits are fragrant, and the wine is overflowing. The entire village is caught in a rhythmic busyness.
I didn't pay much attention to the men with flowery arms. I glanced around and quickly focused on the stilted building at the top.
Because I discovered that although this stilted building is magnificent, it is very sinister. It seems that there are countless black energies that are constantly emanating from the building and filling the village.
Maybe the secret of this village is hidden in that stilted building, I thought to myself.
"Brother Cheng, you must be careful."
At this time, Manager Cai suddenly touched me and said cautiously.
"Manager Cai, what's wrong?"
I couldn't help but ask.
"Those people are not good people!"
Manager Cai pointed at the men with flowery arms and said softly.
