Chapter 97
The enthusiasm of the villagers was beyond expectations. After Qin Yu and others stayed at the village chief's house, a group of people gathered around the village chief's house, listening to Qin Yu and others talk about what was going on outside.
The women in the village rushed home to cook meals, saying they wanted to entertain Qin Yu and others.
But it was this enthusiasm that made Qin Yu and Gongsun Qi feel that something was wrong.
In this war-torn era, even in a village deep in the mountains, villagers should be extremely wary of outsiders. After all, outsiders are likely to break the peace here.
But here, the villagers are extremely enthusiastic, as if they are not afraid of causing trouble.
When Qin Yu talked about the outside world, he was honest. But when the villagers asked Qin Yu to talk about his own affairs, Qin Yu could only talk nonsense.
When telling his story to the villagers, Qin Yu directly adapted and applied Shen Wansan's story to himself, listening to the villagers' continuous admiration.
After talking continuously for an hour and a half, the villagers' meals were also prepared, and dishes were served on the huge table at the village chief's house, with more than a dozen dishes.
The village chief sat on the main seat, squinted his eyes and smiled: "There is nothing good in the village, so just make do with it. Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."
Qin Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "You're welcome, village chief. This is already the best meal we have had in these days. But there are so many dishes and we can't finish them all, so let's enjoy them together."
"We can't do it." A villager said hurriedly, "These are for entertaining distinguished guests. According to the rules of the village, we can't do it, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the guests."
"There are still rules. If this is the case, then we won't be polite." Qin Yu said and picked up the chopsticks.
Just when Qin Yu was about to pick up the food, Qin Yu suddenly stopped using his chopsticks, and the faces of several villagers also changed slightly.
Qin Yu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Everyone, I suddenly remembered something, I want to teach you, so that you will not be harmed by traitors when you go out in the future."
Several villagers looked at each other, and finally looked at Qin Yu in confusion.
Qin Yu smiled and took off the shining silver hairpin from his head, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"Silver hairpin?" a villager asked doubtfully.
"It's the silver hairpin." Qin Yu continued to ask: "Do you know what the usefulness of this silver hairpin is when you go out?"
The villagers looked at each other, then shook their heads.
Qin Yu introduced with a smile: "This silver has a property. It turns black when exposed to poison. No poison in the world can escape this method."
"Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to do it." Qin Yu said and pierced the silver hairpin into a dish, "It's that simple, just put it into the dish, wait a moment and take it out. .”
The expressions of several villagers changed again and again. When they saw Qin Yu put the silver hairpin into the dish in front of him, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yu took out the silver hairpin, which was still shining with silver light without any change.
"Look, everyone, this silver hairpin has not changed, which means it is non-toxic. Of course, I don't distrust you, I just want to teach you how to survive." Qin Yu said to the villagers with an apologetic face.
"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you very much for teaching us this, otherwise we wouldn't know." The villagers smiled and tried to look as natural as possible.
At this moment, a villager yelled angrily: "What's going on, you women, these dishes are all burnt, and these dishes are served before they are even cooked. You are going to make the whole village look bad." Disgraced?"
Amidst the scolding, half of the dishes on the table were removed, and the table was immediately empty.
Qin Yu and Gongsun Qi looked at each other. Sure enough, there was something wrong. There seemed to be nothing wrong with those dishes. On the contrary, they looked much better than the dishes on the table now.
The old village chief took Qin Yu's hand and said with a smile: "I made your distinguished guest laugh, so please forgive me."
Qin Yu was stunned and looked up at the old village chief. He saw a smile on his face, nothing strange at all.
"You're welcome, old village chief. No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong." Qin Yu smiled and patted the old village chief's hand.
The old village chief's eyes flashed, "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. Good! Good! Well said!"
"You're welcome, old village chief, you're welcome..."
Amidst the polite greetings, Qin Yu and others finished the meal safely.
When the meal was finished, some of the villagers also went back.
Qin Yu said that he had eaten too much and wanted to walk around to eat, but there were still a few villagers following Qin Yu and others, as if they were afraid that Qin Yu and others would run away.
Fortunately, these people were still some distance away from Qin Yu and the others, so they did not affect their quiet communication.
"Sir, there is indeed a problem in this village. Could it be the Chu army?" Gongsun Qi whispered.
"Can there be women among the Chu army? They still go to the trouble of building such a village."
"That's the bandit." Gongsun Qi asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
"Find an opportunity to ask Qin Yuan, the brother who is responding outside, to defeat these bandits tonight!" Qin Yu looked outside the village and said.
Qin Yu and others walked around the village and then walked out of the village.
Seeing this, a villager hurriedly ran up and stopped in front of Qin Yu and others.
"Did we not entertain these distinguished guests well? Why do you want to leave?"
Qin Yu smiled and said: "You misunderstood, we are not leaving, but after walking around the village, we felt that your village is best seen from outside the village, so we went out to have a look."
"Don't worry, we won't go far, just a few dozen steps ahead."
"Well..." the villagers thought for a moment, "Okay, otherwise, if you leave, the people in the village will scold us for not entertaining you well."
"Hahaha, how come? Your hospitality made us feel at home, and we were reluctant to leave." Qin Yu smiled and patted the villager on the shoulder.
When a few people left the village, the villagers were still following them, just like guards. They did not speak to Qin Yu and others, and just followed quietly.
After arriving at a similar location, Qin Yu and the others stood on a small slope and looked at the village that looked like something out of a painting.
The peach blossoms are in full bloom, the smoke is curling up, and under the red light of dusk, it looks even more calm and peaceful.
However, Gongsun Qi suddenly had untimely diarrhea.
"There should be something wrong with the wild fruits I ate this morning. You should find a place to fix it quickly. Don't get yourself into trouble. Hurry!" Qin Yu pinched his nose and scolded.
"Yes, President!" Gongsun Qi's face turned red from holding back his words, as if he was about to pull out his pants pockets at the next moment.
Gongsun Qi quickly slipped into the bushes nearby. The few villagers who followed him hesitated, but in the end they made no move.
After Gongsun Qi got into the bushes, he lay down on the ground and crawled on his hands and knees in the bushes.
It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that he emerged from the bushes.
After Qin Yu scolded Gongsun Qi a few times, he followed several villagers back to the village.
