It started with being betrayed by my ex-boyfriend
Chapter 178 There's Something Strange Here
"Why did you come down? Didn't I tell you to wait in the car?" Ji Hanmo quickly supported her. The ground in this damn place was not even flat. What if she accidentally fell? !
After trying for a long time, it was still useless. Ji Hanmo's patience had already reached its limit. Seeing Bai Yunxi walking around in this uneven place without even street lights with a bulging belly, he became even more angry!
After all, he is the president of Ji Group. He is not afraid of the hardship and has come from afar, but these guys don’t even give him this little face!
Do you really think he wants to waste time here? At worst, he can just get in touch with the government and ask them to drive these people away!
Anyway, the Tao family has such a strong background, and his Ji family is no pushover either. How could this matter be difficult for them?
Just as he had this thought, the village chief suddenly stared at Bai Yunxi and shouted in horror: "Oh, you...you...you are..."
He shouted, and was so excited that he rushed forward shouting!
Ji Hanmo and Tao Jingchen were both shocked and stood in front of Bai Yunxi at the same time, blocking her behind them!
Li Ling, who had been protecting Ji Hanmo, saw that the situation was not right and took action directly, pinning the village chief to the ground with one move!
The village chief was followed by several young and strong villagers who had come to fight him. When they saw that the old village chief had suffered a loss, who would be willing to give in? They rushed over and were about to attack. The village chief was still lying on the ground with his face, waving his hands and shouting, "Everyone, step back! Everyone, step back! Let's see who dares to mess with us!"
The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Ji Hanmo waved his hand, and Li Ling let go of the village chief.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too excited." The village chief changed his tough attitude and said in a surprisingly friendly way, "I'll make arrangements right away and vacate a few empty houses for you. Just stay there and feel at ease."
The expression changed so quickly! Ji Hanmo and Tao Jingchen looked at each other, and both turned back to look at Bai Yunxi in confusion.
Bai Yunxi was even more confused. What did this have to do with her? She just got off the car. She didn't do anything!
As soon as the village chief agreed, the group quickly settled down. They were allocated two houses that looked like they had been newly built and were very clean inside.
"Our place is not as convenient as the city. I'm sorry to have troubled you." After accompanying them and settling them down, the village chief kept apologizing.
"You're too polite, village chief." For some reason, Ji Hanmo and Tao Jingchen both looked worried, so Bai Yunxi had to answer for them.
When the village chief saw that she was talking to him, he suddenly became excited again: "I'll have someone bring dinner over later, you guys take a rest first." Then he walked out.
Ji Hanmo glanced at Tao Jingchen and said, "There's something strange here!"
Tao Jingchen nodded and looked worriedly at Bai Yunxi who was excitedly dragging Jin Yunlu around to visit.
"Are there people here who know witchcraft or cast spells?" Ji Hanmo asked. He was really unfamiliar with this haunted place.
Tao Jingchen laughed and said, "This is Jiangnan, not Yunnan! What era is it now?"
He paused and said seriously, "Don't jump to conclusions before you figure things out. Just pay special attention to Yunxi's safety."
Ji Hanmo didn't say anything. He had made a rash conclusion about Bai Yunxi's mistaken entry into his room, so he was very rude to Bai Yunxi at the beginning, which caused her great harm. He would not make the same mistake again!
So he held Bai Yunxi tightly all night, with his ears perked up. If he heard the slightest noise, he would open his eyes to check until he was sure that she was safe.
The next morning, the village chief came.
He brought a breakfast with local characteristics. In the deep mountains and dense forests, they had no car and could not frequently contact the outside world, so they still retained the primitive state of farming and weaving, and the food they ate was all grown in the mountains.
While eating with everyone, he introduced to Bai Yunxi: "This is autumn bamboo shoots that grow naturally in the mountains. It tastes very refreshing. You can't eat it in the city. This thing is especially good for pregnant women. You can eat more."
"Thank you." Bai Yunxi said with a smile.
"You're welcome. May I ask your name, young lady?" The village chief chatted with Bai Yunxi in a friendly manner.
Ji Hanmo glanced at Tao Jingchen: Here it comes!
Tao Jingchen was calm and composed: Wait and see, the fox will always show its tail.
Bai Yunxi didn't feel the strange atmosphere between the two of them, and said directly: "My last name is Bai, and my name is Bai Yunxi."
The village chief frowned immediately: "Bai?"
The village chief seemed a little disappointed, which made Bai Yunxi feel a little embarrassed.
Is there anything wrong with her last name?
The village chief thought for a moment and suddenly said, "The girl's surname is indeed Bai, not Murong, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people at the table changed.
Bai Yunxi looked confused. She really couldn't understand what the difference was between her last name Bai and her last name Murong.
Ji Hanmo quickly glanced between her and Tao Jingchen. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
Tao Jingchen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Yunxi's surname is indeed Bai, but she has some connections with the Murong family. Before we set out, she stayed at the Murong family for a few days."
He Cheng did not say that Bai Yunxi was from Murong's family, but between the lines, he vaguely pointed it in that direction. Ji Hanmo could not find any fault with it, so he said nothing. The village chief kept saying "Oh" and looked very happy.
After a while, a young man ran in from outside, looked at the people in the room, and said timidly, "Village Chief!"
The village chief waved at him and said, "Awu, come here."
He pointed at the young man named Awu and said to Bai Yunxi with a smile: "Girl, I should be the one to show you around, but it's not convenient for me to do so now that I'm old. You young people don't have much to talk about with an old man like me. This Awu is my nephew, who went to school for a few years. From now on, he will be your guide, and he will take you around."
When Jin Yunlu looked at the village from a bird's eye view on the online map before coming, it seemed that the village was not that big. When he heard that there was a guide to take them around, he felt that the village seemed a bit too grand. But at a glance, the guide looked pretty good, although he was young, so he reluctantly said, "Thank you!"
Anyway, looking at their attitude yesterday, they were anti-natal and xenophobic, so having a local person with them would make them feel a little more at ease. Although Ji Hanmo brought bodyguards, it is better to be safe than sorry!
