The structure of Qingyang Village is actually very simple. The thatched house they are staying in is at the back of the village, which is relatively close to the back mountain.
The back mountain of Qingyang Village is also said to be an inaccessible place by the people in the village. Countless people in Qingyang Village have died because of the back mountain.
For the villagers of Qingyang Village, the back mountain is a place where people can eat people.
Looking at the lush green mountains not far away, Ying Qingci's eyes were a little complicated. With such lush green mountains, there must be a lot of edible food in the mountains.
However, people here have a lot of scruples, so the resources on the mountain are still abundant.
Along the way, Ying Qingci met many people, including young women, strong men, and some elderly people.
Obviously, there are many times more elderly people here than young adults.
Ying Qingci saw them, and they naturally saw Ying Qingci, but the people here looked at Ying Qingci with a hint of vigilance.
There is still a trace of doubt.
Ying Qingci's family arrived at Qingyang Village yesterday afternoon near dusk. At that time, many people in the village had already closed their doors and were staying at home to rest.
At this time, they did not have any entertainment games, so they would close the door early and prepare to rest, so they did not know that Ying Qingci and the others were coming.
"Who is that person? He's not from our village, is he?"
"You're not here for the back mountain again, are you?"
I don’t know who said such a sentence. As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the people around him instantly became ugly.
"No, I have to go to the village chief and ask. Sooner or later, I will crush those people's minds!"
…
Ying Qingci heard their words in fragments and did not understand many of them, but she still got a rough idea of the main meaning.
Could there be any secrets in the back hill of Qingyang Village? Otherwise, why would these people have expressions of hatred on their faces whenever they mention Houshan?
"Hello, uncle, I just moved here yesterday..."
She walked up to an elderly man. As soon as she opened her mouth, before she finished speaking, the uncle glanced at her and left the place without even giving her a spare look.
"Aunt..."
I asked several people in succession, and their attitudes were all the same. Before she finished speaking, those people turned and left. It seemed that they didn't want to see her at all?
No, Ying Qingci felt that their indifference only appeared after seeing her and listening to her words. In other words, they were most likely because they were outsiders in the village.
In other words, Qingyang Village actually does not welcome outsiders.
But if that's the case, why didn't the patriarch make it clear yesterday? Or is there something hidden in this?
Ying Qingci prefers the latter.
As for the exact reason, we can only tell after she comes back.
Now she should solve the breakfast problem first.
Although there is still enough food in her space, it will easily arouse the suspicion of her family after she takes it out. After all, she has not left Qingyang Village, and conjuring pork out of thin air is really suspicious.
As for the polished rice, she could just take it out at some time. It could be said that she exchanged it with others.
Unknowingly, Ying Qingci had reached the foot of the mountain and saw a piece of barren land at the foot of the mountain. It should be the land where grandpa and dad were going to the Yamen to transfer ownership today. This place was really big, but it was also desolate enough.
Moreover, there are rubbles on these wastelands. It would be a waste of time to clean them up. With their family alone, it should be impossible in a short time.
Going further, she discovered that there was a semi-dry lake at the foot of the mountain. It looked like it was old. The water in the lake was also very dirty, with thick dirt floating on the surface. There should be a very thick layer of dirt in this lake. sludge.
In the center of this wasteland is the path up the mountain. It is winding and circuitous, and there are a lot of weeds growing on the ground. But looking at the footprints on the ground, it seems that the villagers of Qingyang Village occasionally go up the mountain. of.
If no one walks on a road, then the ground will not be so hard. There will be lush weeds all around. Only the weeds here are crooked. You can tell at a glance who is passing by.
She walked straight up the road.
The scenery on the mountain was different from what she had imagined. It looked lush and green from a distance. When she came up, what she saw was not green trees, but withered and yellow weeds.
Even the surrounding trees were faintly dead.
The way they died seemed unusual.
Following the traces of scattered dead trees, Ying Qingci walked all the way. At the end of the road were green trees. It seemed that only the place where she had just walked showed signs of withering.
What's the reason for this?
There are indeed many doubts here, but she doesn't know the reason now.
The doubts will be solved later. Ying Qingci did not forget the purpose of going up the mountain. Her eyes searched everywhere for a moment, and finally found traces of pheasants in a place not far away.
There were also a few pheasants in her space, and the face of the mountain was only faintly visible.
The range of the pheasant's activities is not small, but it is not large either. There are only dead weeds around it. In order to allow the pheasants to take the bait better, Ying Qingci used the energy of life to directly re-energize the surrounding weeds and trap them. shrouded in it.
In this way, the trap will be very hidden and interfere with the prey's vision.
After setting up the trap, Ying Qingci didn't want to be idle and walked towards the mountains.
Ying Qingci had heard about the existence of ferocious beasts on this mountain early in the morning, but there must be more prey in the deep mountains than outside, and she wanted to take a look.
Moreover, if she encounters danger, she can hide in her own space. In this way, her life is at least guaranteed.
She glanced at the space out of habit, but this glance also made her freeze in place.
The mountain in space has changed again.
The fog on the mountain, visible to the naked eye, has dispersed a lot.
Something flashed in Ying Qingci's mind. She wanted to catch it, but it seemed like there was nothing.
Her gaze fell on the mountain in the space. The fog had dispersed three times, revealing most of the surrounding areas. Most of them were wild vegetables.
When she was in Yingjia Village, the villagers often went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, just outside the mountain. Now that the mountain appeared in her space, there were still plenty of wild vegetables on the outside. At least, there were no traces of being dug. .
It seems that this mountain is really just a replica of the mountain behind Yingjia Village?
After exiting the space, her eyes fell on a dead weed on the ground. An idea flashed in her mind. She seemed to know the reason for unlocking the space...
