The strongest door-to-door son-in-law

Chapter 1628

In the end, the six people stopped a dilapidated van and paid double the price before the bus driver agreed to take the six people to the nearest village to Mantis Valley.

After the six people got on the bus, the van driver lit up his cigarette, took a puff in Mr. Shu's standard smoking posture, and then started the car.

Streams of black smoke came out from behind the back of the van, and it jumped on the spot a few times, and then it drove forward as if it had woken up.

According to the driver, it is more than 30 miles to the village, and then it takes [-] minutes to walk from the village to the excavation site of the Xixia Treasure House, which is the Mantis Valley.

If Ye Feng drove his BMW, it would probably take less than 10 minutes to travel more than [-] miles, but in this van, it would be as slow as a snail.

What made Ye Feng even more painful was not that the van was faster than an old man on a bicycle, but that it was bumpy, as if he was riding a boat and hit a big wave.

The butt of the van poked up and down, throwing Ye Feng off the seat again and again.

Whether it was due to the road surface or the van's own balancing system that was too good to drive, Ye Feng could remember losing weight twenty times.

Ye Feng frantically searched for the seat belt buckle on the rotten chair, but soon Ye Feng discovered miserably that except for the driver, Zeng Zhen and Cao Xiaoling, where were the seat belts?

Ye Feng could only comfort himself by saying that he didn't eat the in-flight meal on the plane.

The torture was finally over, and Ye Feng walked out of the car with trembling legs, holding on to the back of the chair.

Cao Xiaoling and Zeng Zhen were also tortured so much that they rested for a long time before they recovered.

Looking around, there are only a few low walls at the entrance of the village, and a shaky sign hanging: Black Wind Village.

According to the driver, it's still half an hour's walk from Mantis Valley.

But you still have to ask the local folks.

Zeng Zhen should be familiar with the roads, but in the past, she had a special driver to drive directly to Mantis Valley. This was her first time in Black Wind Village.

So she could only wait for Ye Feng to enter the village and ask for directions.

Ye Feng and Cao Xiaoling entered Heifeng Village together.

The village is not big. After walking for a few minutes, the two of them reached the end of the village, where there were only about a few dozen households.

But no one was seen.

At this time, Ye Feng turned around and saw a child walking out of a low room.

The child was probably only five or six years old. He was also wearing a tiger head hat and looked really cute.

Ye Feng walked over, knelt down and asked, "Children, do you know where the adults have gone?"

The child said something, but it was a local accent. Ye Feng couldn't understand it, so he could only ask Cao Xiaoling behind him for help.

Cao Xiaoling shrugged, saying she didn't understand either.

This is troublesome. He is a child again. He should not be able to understand anything he is told.

At this time, there was a noise not far away, and Ye Feng stood up and looked there.

"Go there and have a look?" Cao Xiaoling suggested.

Ye Feng said goodbye to the tiger-headed child and walked towards the noise.

As he got closer, Ye Feng heard a local accent, which sounded like several people.

After turning around another earthen wall, Ye Feng and Cao Xiaoling found a pond that was half an acre in size. There were dozens of villagers standing in twos and threes around the pond.

Just looking at the number of people, it seemed like the entire Black Wind Village had come out.The clothes of Ye Feng and Cao Xiaoling looked like foreigners, and the villagers cast curious glances at them one by one.

Because of the development of the Xixia Treasure House in Mantis Valley, their little village, which no one cares about, has recently seen a lot of second-rate dealers come to pick up missing cultural relics. However, the harvest is not much, so the number of people is gradually decreasing.

A middle-aged man walked up. He was wearing a light green old-fashioned military uniform. He looked very old. Many places had been patched, but he was quite clean.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Uncle, we are going to Mantis Valley and wanted to come over and ask for directions." Ye Feng said.

"Mantis Valley? Are you also going to dig up that Xixia treasure house?" The middle-aged man's face visibly darkened.

"Yes, we are going to the Xixia Treasure House..."

Before Cao Xiaoling finished speaking, the middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Come here, everyone! These people are also going to dig for treasures in the Xixia Treasure House!"

The villagers who had been standing aside and watching with cold eyes suddenly gathered around. Some of them were holding farm tools such as sickles and shovels in their hands, looking fierce.

Ye Feng immediately got close to Cao Xiaoling, not knowing how to offend this group of villagers from Heifeng Village who were meeting for the first time.

Thinking of the driver who seemed to be sending people to the crematorium, Ye Feng had more questions in his mind: Is there something wrong with this Black Wind Village?
"Can't we go to the Xixia Treasure House?" Ye Feng asked cautiously.

He thought it was the six of him who suddenly broke into the village and made the villagers unhappy.

"You can go wherever you like, but you have dug up the Xixia treasure house and caused the pond in our village to lose half of its water. This is not okay!"

The middle-aged man looked like the head of Black Wind Village. He pointed at the pond next to him and said bitterly.

The group of villagers also started making noises.

But they all spoke in a local accent, noisily and loudly, but I just couldn’t understand them.

As she spoke, a fat lady waved the grass-cutting sickle in her hand, as if to prove her words.

The sickle was dangling back and forth, very close to Ye Feng and Cao Xiaoling.

Cao Xiaoling shrank down, for fear of being carried away by the sickle.

Ye Feng and Cao Xiaoling looked at the pond at the same time. They could clearly see a circle of water around the pond, and the water level had dropped by a meter or two.

But the pond is quite deep, and the water is yellow. It’s hard to tell how many meters are left before we reach the bottom.

On the other side, three or four arch-like rocks were exposed, right on the edge of the pond. They were covered with moss. If the water level hadn't dropped this time, they probably wouldn't have been visible.

"Uncle, isn't it normal for the water in this pond to rise and fall? What does it have to do with our visit to the Xixia Treasure House?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.

The middle-aged man knew that outsiders did not understand the affairs of Black Wind Village, so he had to explain patiently: "This pond in our village is not an ordinary pond."

Having said this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a proud look on his face.

"Whether it's raining or drought, the water level in this pond never changes."

"Is there such a thing?" This was the first time Ye Feng had heard of such a pond.

"For generations in our village, this pond has been enshrined as a treasure left to us by our ancestors. Every household will come here to pay homage if they have any difficulties."

"But ever since the Tangut Treasure House was excavated in Mantis Valley, the water level in our pond has continued to drop. In just one month, it has dropped by almost two meters. If it continues like this, will it dry up?" the middle-aged man said angrily. .
