Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

Looking at the human body sketch book in his hand, Zhang Mingming nodded with satisfaction. This sketch is still clearer. The previous book was really useless. Not only did he not understand anything in the end, but it also wasted his time.

This picture album is clearer and you can tell the structure of the human body and the distribution of its various parts at a glance.

Unfortunately, the direction of the bones and muscles is still a little unclear. I heard that when drawing, one must draw bones and the direction of muscles, etc. I don’t know if it is true or not. Why not learn to draw for a while?

Zhang Mingming was thinking while eating breakfast.

……

Looking at his companions standing under the tree, the boy wearing glasses quickly ran over and greeted them.

"Big brother, third brother, and sister-in-law, you are here so soon."

"Second brother, why are you so slow?" the sturdy boy complained impatiently.

"Sorry, boss, I live too far away, and I was late because of something this morning." The boy with glasses explained, "How were you guys yesterday?"

"Fortunately, the family I live with is pretty good. Although the yard is not very big, it is big enough for the two of us to live in, and the other party is also very nice." The most handsome boy thought for a few seconds and spoke first.

"We are both fine. One of the sisters is lively and the other is quiet. They seem easy to talk to. We have similar personalities, so we get along well. It's just that the younger sister is too lively and asks a lot of questions. She keeps asking questions and never stops." The lively girl with short hair frowned and said.

"But after chatting with them yesterday, I learned a lot about the village." The girl with a ponytail nodded and added.

"I have a little trouble here, but it's not a big problem. I can only say that our habits are too different." The sturdy boy shrugged and said indifferently.

"That's good. I don't have any problems here. The village chief lives with only his grandson. Now it's just me and his grandson living together.

The place they live in is quite spacious and the environment is not bad, but the village chief's grandson is a little uneducated. The village chief's family has a lot of books, some of which are rare books, but he doesn't even look at them. He only looks at those human body sketches, nude paintings, etc." The boy with glasses said, with contempt in his eyes.

The other people were not surprised to hear him say this. After all, although the boy with glasses usually had a good personality and could be said to be a good guy, he loved reading the most and was thirsty for all kinds of knowledge, even to the point of being crazy.

Now that I meet such a person who does not value knowledge and is even short-sighted, I naturally look down on him.

"It's okay. We're just passing through. We'll leave after we finish investigating."

"Yes! If he doesn't want to watch it, then don't watch it. It's his loss." The others comforted him.

The boy with glasses nodded, and stopped talking about Zhang Mingming. Instead, he asked about other things.

"Yesterday, it was already dark when I packed my things, so I didn't go out. Did you go out yesterday?"

"I don't have much stuff, so I packed quickly, so I went outside for a walk, but I didn't stay outside for long before I went back." The most handsome boy nodded.

"We have a lot of luggage, and it was dark when we finished packing the room." The two girls shook their heads. Although the place they lived in looked clean, they were afraid that the house was not clean, so they couldn't help but clean it again. By the time they finished packing, it was already dark.

"It was similar over there. Although there wasn't much stuff, I didn't know how to clean it up. It took me a long time to finish. By the time I finished, it was already dark." The sturdy boy shook his head.

"Honey, you can ask the family you live with to help you. They usually do it themselves, so they should be very skilled." The lively girl hugged the other's arm and said with a smile.

"Yes, boss. Although they are not well educated, the people in the village are quite easy to talk to in other aspects. Boss, you can't do these things, so why not pay the family you live with to do it for you? Then you can enjoy the service and they can make money. It's the best of both worlds." The boy with glasses also nodded.

"No, all yours are easy to deal with. He's the only one in the family I live with. He's so reckless and spends all day feeding his dog. If I ask him to help me pack my things, I'm afraid he'll damage them. Even though they're not worth much, I only brought a few pieces of clothes with me. If they get damaged, they'll be gone." The sturdy boy waved his hand, with a hint of disgust in his voice.

Although he doesn't hate small animals, he doesn't like to come into contact with strange cats and dogs. As soon as he entered, the dog circled around him, licked his ankles, and even wanted to lick his hands and face. It was really dirty!

But the other party held the dog all day long, and was unwilling to let the dog go into the yard. He even slept in the same room with the dog. It was really unbearable to think about it.

Even if the other party is willing to help him clean up, he is still unwilling! Who knows if the other party has dog saliva on him.

"Then let's just hold on for a few days! We won't be out for too long anyway." The girl with a ponytail said gently.

"If it doesn't work, just give me your clothes and I'll wash them for you." said the lively girl.

"All right!"

"It's getting late, let's go for a walk around the village first! Otherwise, we won't have enough time soon." The most handsome boy looked at his watch.

Everyone nodded, only to realize that they had been chatting for too long and had not yet gotten down to business.

"Third brother, did you find anything when you went to the village yesterday?" The sturdy boy looked at the most handsome boy among them.

"I walked around the village yesterday, and it's really quite comprehensive. Although I didn't look closely, there was everything from food to daily necessities, coffins, ironwork, tea, and cosmetics.

It’s just that there don’t seem to be many young people in the village. Yesterday, apart from the few people we saw, I didn’t see anyone else in their twenties or thirties. Of course, there were no children either. They were all around 60 years old or even older.”

"So there are only five young people?" asked the lively girl.

"Shouldn't it be seven? In addition to the families we're staying with, we also met two young ones when we came here. They're the two standing in the yard who seem to be on good terms." The girl with a ponytail shook her head and reminded.

"Yes." The most handsome boy nodded and glanced at the girl who had just spoken. The fourth child died so suddenly yesterday that they were a little dazed. Unexpectedly, besides himself, the other party also noticed other people.

"I remember now, it's the couple from yesterday." The sturdy boy nodded, recalling the figures in his mind.

After hearing this, the others wanted to retort, but they didn't know how to say it for a moment. It seemed that the two boys yesterday were indeed too close.

"It's normal to have few young people in the village. Maybe they have moved away, or are working or going to school outside. Of course, there shouldn't even be a child! Or are the children locked up at home and not going out?" The boy with glasses said to himself.

"I'm not sure about that. Although it wasn't dark yet, it was indeed late. Maybe the children were really locked up at home." The most handsome boy nodded. In fact, even if there were no children in the village, it would not be too surprising. After all, this village was very remote. Maybe the children had gone to study outside.

After all, there doesn’t seem to be any school in this village. If there are children who really want to go to school, they must go to a very far place. It is normal that there are no children on the streets at three or four o’clock in the afternoon.

“Is there anything special in the village?”

The most handsome boy smiled bitterly and looked at everyone helplessly.

“I don’t know about that. I just took a quick walk around and didn’t even know the roads in the village.

However, if there is anything strange, it is that it gets dark too early. Although the village is surrounded by trees and it gets dark earlier, it is almost summer vacation and the days will only get longer.

It gets dark at 18 or o'clock now. If it's winter, wouldn't it be dark after noon? Then people here won't be able to live, as it will be dark for hours a day."

"This is indeed a bit suspicious. You can make a note of it." The boy with glasses nodded.

"I think the mountains here are a little weird. I've climbed many mountains and been to many places before, and I've gotten lost before, but this is the first time I've seen something as strange as this one." The lively girl with short hair suddenly spoke up and expressed her doubts.

She can be considered an experienced traveler. She has visited various scenic spots across the country and has also been to many places with strange legends. It can be said that she is very experienced.

But in general, even if you get lost, it's either because something is blocking your vision, or because you accidentally inhale or touch something, such as a bug or mushroom, which causes hallucinations.

But their coming to the village did not fall into all of the above situations. She clearly remembered the road to the village. She had been there before, but she did not see the village at that time, nor even the big tree at the entrance of the village.

But after they turned around a few times, the village chief suddenly appeared, and he came from the place they had looked for before. This was really strange.

"In that case, after we finish looking at the village, let's go up the mountain to take a look. Didn't we want to bring some specimens back this time?" The most handsome boy made up his mind after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, but we've been walking for so long and we don't seem to see anything strange." The sturdy boy nodded and looked at the houses on both sides of the road in confusion.

They all looked like ordinary houses, just like where they lived, except that some of the doors were closed, and at the door of some of them there were one or two very old people sitting.

Seeing them passing by, most of them didn't react. They just looked at them occasionally, and then looked away and did their own thing.

Along the way, they even saw people drying tea leaves and making clothes.

"The people in this village really know so many things!" The girl with a ponytail couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes! And they did a pretty good job. The dress just now looked pretty nice." The lively girl nodded.

"Although the workmanship is a bit rough, the steps they just took to dry the tea are correct, and they are very ancient." The sturdy boy nodded. This ancient tea-making process is rarely seen nowadays. The last time he saw it was at his grandfather's friend's place.

"Although this method of making tea is slow, the tea will taste better when it is preserved. I heard that this kind of tea is not available to ordinary people." The boy with glasses also nodded. Although he had never drunk it, he had seen it in a book before. Making tea with this method is not only labor-intensive, but also time-consuming. It will take more than a month to make it.

As they were talking, they came to where Mu Qing lived and saw Mu Qing watering the flowers in the yard.

Mu Qing noticed them and greeted them with a smile.

"Good afternoon! Are you guys strolling around the village?"

The most handsome boy nodded and looked at the flowers of different colors in Mu Qing's yard with some curiosity.

"Yes! We just got here and don't know what to do, so we just wanted to take a look around. Are you watering the flowers? They look so beautiful!"

Mu Qing nodded and looked at the flowers in the yard with a very gentle look in his eyes.

"Do you like them? I found these flowers in the mountains. It took me a lot of time. If you like them, you can come in and take a look. But you can't pick them. Some flowers may be poisonous."

"Sorry to bother you." After hesitating for a few seconds, the few of them couldn't help but walk into the yard out of curiosity.

Because the flowers in this yard are really special, and the young man in front of me is the only invited person in the entire village, maybe I can get some information from him.

As soon as the boy with glasses walked into the yard, his eyes never left the various flowers. He thought he was knowledgeable, but he didn't recognize all the flowers in the yard. He could only barely tell what kind they were and whether they were poisonous.

The two girls didn't think too much about it. They preferred the beautiful flowers and took out their mobile phones and couldn't help taking a few photos.

The remaining two people walked around in the yard casually and chatted with Mu Qing.

"Is that an orchid? I remember that species is very difficult to grow. I didn't expect you to grow it so well. If our old man saw it, he would definitely be envious." The sturdy boy looked at the orchid in the corner and marveled.
