"Miss Ah Qing, let's come in. At this point, my mother probably has to make a living and cook. I just want her to pack more rice tonight!"

Ah Hao smiled boldly and greeted Yang Ruoqing to enter the village.

Yang Ruoqing nodded and followed A Hao into the village.

To put it bluntly, this village has a layout similar to the villages located in the mountains in the Mianniu Mountain area.

However, perhaps because of its geographical location, the climate here is also more humid.

Therefore, the layout and structure of the houses in the village are somewhat similar to those on stilts in Yunnan.

Thick and strong wooden pillars were erected on the mountain, and wooden boards were erected.

A house made of wood or bamboo is built on top of the wooden boards. This kind of house structure can isolate moisture and prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from crawling in and disturbing the life.

In front of and behind the house, there are large tracts of moso bamboo and huge banana trees, echoing these stilted buildings.

On the way into the village, Yang Ruoqing felt the customs of ethnic minorities.

If he hadn't shouldered a heavy responsibility on this trip, or if the two countries hadn't been at war.

Yang Ruoqing really wants to take her family here for sightseeing on a certain day of this year and month, in a prosperous and peaceful environment.

Alas, fate plays tricks on people.

When passing near the Yuanyang Well at the entrance of the village, several washing women saw Ah Hao and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Ah Hao, I went out hunting today and got a good harvest, both hare and pheasant. Your grandma will definitely be happy to see you later!"

"Ah Hao, let your grandma buy more rice. Can we all have a bite of rabbit meat?"

Faced with the women's teasing and joking, Ahao responded to them all with a bright smile.

This made Yang Ruoqing, who was following him, secretly sigh that this Ah Hao should usually be quite popular in the village.

You can tell by looking at how enthusiastic he is towards this person he met by chance.

At this time, a sharp-eyed woman by Yuanyang Well discovered Yang Ruoqing.

"Hey, whose girl is that? I'm unfamiliar with her. I've never seen her before. Which one of you recognizes her?"

The women whispered to each other.

A woman who had chatted with Ah Hao earlier smiled and asked Ah Hao: "Ah Hao, I see you guys came in together, who is this girl? Why don't you tell your sisters-in-law?"

When asked about this, Ahao turned around and looked in Yang Ruoqing's direction.'

Yang Ruoqing lowered her head, and her bangs fell covering most of her face.

Holding the corner of his clothes with one hand, he pulled a dirty and dusty bundle with the other hand.

This timid look made Ah Hao feel that she was really timid.

Ah Hao then turned around and said to the women by Yuanyang Well: "Her name is Ah Qing. She came from Baiyazhai and went to visit relatives in the mountains."

"She got lost in the mountains and met a wild boar again. She was so frightened that I took her back to the village to stay and then help her find relatives later."

The women in the mountains were also generous and enthusiastic. When they heard this, they all asked Ahona which village the relative lived in.

Ah Hao was stunned for a moment, which village are you from?

Ah Qing seemed to have said it before, but he had forgotten it now.

After a few perfunctory words to the women, Ah Hao took Yang Ruoqing and left quickly.

As soon as the two of them turned around, the women beside Yuanyang Well started talking in low voices.

"Ahao, this boy has gained quite a lot today. He went out hunting and brought back pheasants and rabbits. He also brought back a woman."

"Hahaha, this guy is already twenty and still single. Looks like he has something going for him now!"

"Hey, you are talking nonsense. I think Ahao is kind-hearted and helping that Ah Qing. Didn't you just see what that Ah Qing looks like? It's so ugly, not good-looking at all!"

"Ah? I really didn't look carefully. That A-Qing had her head lowered, her hair covering her face, and she looked afraid of people. It looked like she had never seen the world."

"I've seen it, and it's really not that good. There are still a lot of freckles on the face. It's not worthy of Ah Hao!"

"You said you're not worthy if you don't deserve it? Ugly people often make mischief, maybe that A-Qing will take a liking to A-Hao?"

"You guys, keep your voices down, they haven't gone far yet..."

"Hey, what are you afraid of? We didn't say anything unpleasant..."

"You've already said that I'm ugly, but do you think that's acceptable?"

"Oh, that Ah Qing is not good-looking to begin with, but the Ah Fang from our village is so good-looking!"

"No matter how good-looking Ah Fang is, what's the use if Ah Hao doesn't care about her? Stop talking about it and just wash the vegetables..."

Ah Hao and Yang Ruoqing had walked a long way, and Ah Hao didn't quite hear the conversation of the women behind him.

In addition, he had something on his mind and was thinking about how to entertain Yang Ruoqing later.

So I didn't pay any attention to what the women said behind their backs.

However, Yang Ruoqing has a good ear.

In addition, I understand some of the language of the Gaoshan people, so I was laughing secretly in my heart while walking.

Where there are women, there is gossip.

No matter which country you are from, what language you speak, whether you are a noble lady or a village girl.

Where there are women, there are rivers and lakes.

Is my sister really so ugly that no one wants her?

Yang Ruoqing murmured in her heart and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face.

Hehe, this shows that my disguise skills are very good, and I can hide the truth from others.

"Aqing, here we are!"

Ahead, Ahao stopped and said to Yang Ruoqing.

"Life in the mountains is hard, not as good as yours in the Baiyazhai area outside the mountain. My family is at the bottom of our village. I have wronged you, Miss Ah Qing!" Ah Hao said again.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "Brother Ahao, I'm very grateful that you can take me in."

Looking up to the front, this is the very back of Heiyan Village, quite far away from other houses in the village.

There is a solitary stilted building, which looks a bit dilapidated from the outside.

The dogs that Ah Hao took out for hunting all became excited when they saw this small stilt building.

Wagging their tails, they rushed to the vicinity of the stilted building like arrows, chasing each other and fighting.

The people inside the stilted building may have heard the movement outside. The wooden door creaked, and a haggard-looking woman with half-white hair came out.

"Is Ahao back?"

The woman looked towards the intersection.

Ahao's eyes lit up when he saw the woman.

He raised his hand and waved towards the stilted building: "Mom, it's me, I'm back!"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

The woman also saw Ah Hao here, with a joyful smile on her face, and then turned around and came down from the other side of the stilted building.

Here, Ah Hao also led Yang Ruoqing over.

The two armies met victoriously, and the woman was surprised when she saw Yang Ruoqing.

"Which girl is this from?" She looked at Yang Ruoqing and asked with a smile.

Just as Yang Ruoqing was about to speak out, Ahao answered for her first.
