Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

The roads in the village are very clean, and the land wet by rain exudes the most primitive smell and the fragrance of earth.

"Wow, the air here is so fresh!"

Qin Yaoyao held her boyfriend Jiang Shuo's hand and said happily.

Jiang Shuo agreed: "The air is nice, and there seems to be... a scent of flowers?"

He added hesitantly.

The air in the mountains is moist after the rain, and if you smell it carefully you can smell a hint of floral scent.

Qu Shenyi also smelled the fragrance of flowers, but for a moment he couldn't remember what kind of flower it was.

"There is a flower field behind the village, and the flowers will be blown here by the wind." said Village Chief Liu.

He said with a smile: "If you like, when the weather is fine tomorrow, let Li Guaizi take you to have a look."

"Really? Thank you, Village Chief!"

Qin Yaoyao has a very sweet voice.

Qu Shenyi smiled and said, "Then I'd better take a good look."

Qu Shenyi has outstanding looks and his dress makes him look either rich or noble, but he speaks in a friendly and even humorous way.

Village chief Liu soon started chatting with Qu Shenyi and enthusiastically introduced the characteristics of the mountain to Qu Shenyi.

Few outsiders come to this mountain all year round, and people in the village rarely go out. The family tree of each household can even be traced back hundreds of years.

There are more than a hundred households in the village, all of which have retained the most primitive living habits. Apart from basic material purchases, the villagers are not connected with information from the outside world.

However, in this situation, an obvious and strange problem emerges.

For hundreds of years, people in the village did not go out and people from outside did not come in, so how did the entire village survive from generation to generation?

Could it be that everyone in the entire village is engaged in incestuous marriages?

"Hot soup is here."

Village chief Liu brought the villagers to bring steaming hot soup to Qu Shenyi and others.

White mist rose from the hot soup in the bowl, and the off-white bone soup exuded an attractive color under the warm yellow incandescent bulb.

Qu Shenyi had been walking for a long time, and his throat had been dry and unbearable. After smelling the fragrance of the bone soup, the hunger in his stomach also became clear.

"Village Chief Liu, is there anything else?"

Jiang Shuo had finished a bowl of wine. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, raised the bowl and asked Village Chief Liu.

Village Chief Liu nodded: "Yes, yes, of course! I'll ask my son to serve you another bowl!"

Upon hearing this, the boy of about eleven or twelve years old standing behind the village chief took the bowl from Jiang Shuo's hand and poured another bowl back for him.

After handing the bowl to Jiang Shuo, the boy raised his hand and licked the soup on his hand.

"You bastard, who told you to drink this? This is for the guests!"

Village chief Liu took a wooden board as wide as two adult men's fingers and hit the boy on the buttocks.

The boy immediately covered his butt and cried out in pain, his eyes red.

Qin Yaoyao frowned when she saw this: "Village Chief Liu, if the child wants to drink, just let him drink. It would be a waste if we can't finish it."

Jiang Shuo also nodded.

"To be honest, we added wine brewed in the village to this bone soup to enhance the flavor. My son can't drink alcohol, and he breaks out in rashes all over his body if he touches it."

Village chief Liu rolled up the boy's sleeves, and sure enough, red rashes appeared on his thin arms.

"Don't drink anymore. Dad will make you something delicious when you get home."

Village chief Liu touched his son's head and comforted him softly.

The sobbing boy wiped his tears and nodded.

Qu Shenyi watched the interaction between the father and son and secretly called 001.

[Pour out this bowl of soup.]

001 responded: [Okay, just pretend to drink for a while.]

Qu Shenyi put the bowl to his lips and quickly drank the whole bowl of soup.

Wang Jianqi and the white-haired old man sitting next to them also started drinking it in sips.

Qu Shenyi ate one bowl after another, which made the others stare in amazement. They couldn't imagine that this thin-looking man could have such a big stomach.

"Village chief, your soup is really good. What kind of meat and bones are used? I will ask the chef to try it when I get back." Qu Shenyi said.

Village Chief Liu was very happy to see that Qu Shenyi liked it: "It's just ordinary wild boar meat, stewed with our local recipe. I didn't expect that Mr. Qu would like it so much. Wait for me to sort out the recipe and I will give it to you!"

Qu Shenyi: "Okay, I'll apply for a patent for this recipe when I get back, and then you, the village chief, will be my largest shareholder!"

After some conversations, Village Chief Liu was so pleased with Qu Shenyi that he was almost ready to sign the contract.

The people who came with Qu Shenyi were dumbfounded. If they didn't know what the other party was doing, they would have thought that Qu Shenyi was here to discuss business.

The rain outside the house gradually subsided and it was getting dark.

Village chief Liu gave Qu Shenyi and his companions the address of the house prepared for them, and asked other people in the village in the house to lead them there.

Jiang Shuo and Qin Yaoyao, a young couple, live together in the home of an older sister who raises sheep.

The white-haired old man didn't want to stay with Qu Shenyi and Wang Jianqi, so Village Chief Liu temporarily arranged for him to stay at his own home.

The family where Qu Shenyi and Wang Jianqi live is more interesting. This family is the Li Guaizi mentioned by Village Chief Liu.

Li Guaizi is as his name suggests. He has suffered from muscle atrophy in one of his legs since he was a child and needs a crutch to walk.

Qu Shenyi and Wang Jianqi followed Li Guaizi along the way and slowly walked to the destination.

"That house is where you two live."

Li Guaizi had a pair of triangular eyes. When he looked at people with his eyes slanted, he showed only the white of his eyes like a wolf.

Li Guaizi pointed to a small shabby house and said, "You can heat water there to take a bath, but you have to chop the firewood yourself. My legs... are not convenient."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

After getting Qu Shenyi's answer, Li Guaizi stared at the two people for a while, then returned to his room on crutches.

Wang Jianqi's face was not happy: "This old bald donkey doesn't welcome us."

Qu Shenyi shook his head: "Not only him, there are few people in the whole village who welcome him."

It was still drizzling from the sky, and the two men did not speed up their pace due to Li Guaizi's limited mobility, which resulted in both of them being soaked.

The hair is fine, but the clothes sticking to my body are really uncomfortable.

Wang Jianqi: "Do you want to take a shower first, or should I?"

"Go ahead, I have another set of clothes in my bag."

Wang Jianqi nodded and walked towards the dilapidated house.

Qu Shenyi returned to the room where he was temporarily living, took out the clothes from his backpack, felt them to make sure they were dry, wiped them briefly, and then changed into them.

He hung the clothes he had taken off next to the stove to dry.

At this time, the sky outside the window was already dark, but Wang Jianqi, who had gone to take a shower, had not returned yet.

Qu Shenyi frowned, thinking that something might have happened.

call--

A faint noise was heard outside the room, and Qu Shenyi pulled out a folding knife from his waist.

He walked lightly to the light cord in the room and turned off the lights.

Then he moved slowly along the wall.

creak-

Qu Shenyi pushed the door open heavily and swung the knife in his hand violently.

In the dim light, he saw a pair of eyes with clear black and white.

Qu Shenyi's hand movements suddenly paused.

He stared at those eyes and moved his lips: "You are..."

But the man suddenly moved.

The man covered Qu Shenyi's mouth and nose with his hands, and his voice with hot air sprayed on Qu Shenyi's face.

"Shh, don't talk, there's something."
