Mr. Lu's sky-high ex-wife
Chapter 565 Things Are Going Too Smoothly
The address of the small mountain village given by Huo Ye was very remote.
They flew to Yunnan Airport, took a bus to the county seat, rented a car and arrived at the township. On the way to the mountain village, the road became increasingly difficult to walk, and the rented car could no longer move forward.
Fortunately, Lu Nanchen sent someone to arrange a pick-up in advance. They took a simple ox cart and continued to move forward with a bumpy ride.
It took nearly five days from departure to arrival.
This village is surrounded by mountains, and the village is full of four- or five-story stilted buildings built of wood.
There is a three-meter-high stone tablet standing at the entrance of the village. It is carved with some strange insect patterns and some characters. Those characters are not traditional Chinese characters. Tang Qian does not recognize any of them. They should be the characters of ethnic minorities.
Next to the stone tablet, stood a tall man dressed in ethnic minority attire.
When he saw Tang Qian and others, he asked in less than standard Mandarin: "Were you introduced by Li Zheng?"
Li Zheng was the one who provided clues to Huo Ye, and it was he who helped contact the people here.
Lu Nanchen nodded and said, "Yes, my name is Lu Nanchen, this is my wife Tang Qian, and these three are my children."
The man said: "My name is Li Sen. Li Zheng has already told me your request. Come with me and I will take you to see the high priest."
Tang Qian and the others followed Li Sen into the village. The roads in the village were all paved with natural stones and were very clean and smooth.
There should be very few outsiders coming to this village. When they passed by, people from the surrounding houses poked their heads out to watch curiously.
Tang Qian found that the people in the entire village were very young, and no one was particularly old.
Generally, most of the people in mountain villages are elderly people, but this village was actually mostly populated by young people. This made her feel a little strange, but she didn't ask any more questions.
Many people greeted Li Sen on the road. Most of them used their minority language, but some children used Mandarin that was not fluent.
From their simple conversation, Tang Qian knew that Li Sen was the son of their village chief.
Soon, Tang Qian and others were taken into a courtyard, where a handsome-looking man in his prime was picking herbs.
"High Priest, people are here."
The high priest glanced up, and finally his eyes fell on Lu Nanchen for a few seconds, then looked at Xiao Momo, then withdrew his gaze, continued to fiddle with the herbs in the dustpan, and said: "I have understood all your problems. I can also help you solve it, but can you do what you promised?"
Lu Nanchen didn't expect that the other party would agree so easily. He didn't deliberately shirk it. He nodded seriously and said, "I will definitely do what I promised."
The high priest said: "You coming in from the outside should know how long the road is to our village. It takes a lot of money to repair such a long road."
"More than ten years ago, people from the government came to negotiate, saying that building roads was too expensive, and asked us to move out as a whole village. The cost of moving out and resettling the whole village was less than one-tenth of the cost of building roads."
The road leading from their village to the outside is not only a problem of distance, but also the problem of uneven ground and surrounded by mountains. There are many places that need to be cleared of mountains, so the cost is very high. Road construction is not cost-effective, so the government has not put in place provisions for road construction. Approved.
Their tribe has lived here for hundreds of years, and the inheritance of Gu magic also requires inheritance, so they are unwilling to move out and cannot move out.
But with the development of the times, after the signal tower was built in their village, young people used their mobile phones to see the outside world, and they were very yearning for the outside world. They also needed to communicate with the outside world and learn knowledge, so road construction became imminent.
Lu Nanchen said: "Money is not a problem. I am rich and building a road is not a problem."
"In addition to road construction, if the children in your village want to go to school, I can also make arrangements."
It was the first time that the high priest saw such a wealthy person, and he finally raised his eyes to look at Lu Nanchen again.
He was afraid that Lu Nanchen would regret it, so he immediately said: "I heard from Li Zheng that when people outside talk about cooperation, they have to sign a contract. If the contract is not fulfilled, you will be punished. Come and sign the contract."
Lu Nanchen had no objection, nodded, and asked the bodyguard behind him to take out paper and pen, and handed them to the high priest for him to write.
The high priest said: "I can't write Chinese characters. You write it and let Li Sen read it. If there is no problem, just press your fingerprints and sign it."
Lu Nanchen wrote the contract himself and asked Li Sen to read it to the high priest. After confirming that there was no problem, they signed and signed the contract.
The high priest collected the contract and asked: "Do you want to remove the poison immediately, or rest for a night and then remove it tomorrow?"
Lu Nanchen said: "Let's start now."
The high priest put down the herbs, stood up and walked into the building, "Follow me."
Tang Qian stayed in the yard with the three children.
Things were going so smoothly that she felt like she was in a dream.
When Huo Ye found them, he said that even if they came here, there might not be a way to cure the poison, so they should not have too much hope.
As a result, when they first arrived, they only took one look at them and immediately said they could solve the problem and agreed to help.
It went so well.
It went so smoothly that she couldn't believe it.
Lu Nanchen and the high priest walked out an hour after entering.
Lu Nanchen's face was dark and he was swaying a little when he walked.
Tang Qian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Nanchen opened his mouth, then turned around and retched.
The high priest said: "It's okay. I vomited some bugs out. I can't bear it. I can't bear it."
Tang Qian silently stepped back and put some distance between herself and him, "Do you want to rinse your mouth first?"
Lu Nanchen looked at Tang Qian with aggrieved expression.
He was already miserable enough, but she still disliked him!
Tang Qian touched his head and said awkwardly: "You know, I'm afraid of bugs..."
Lu Nanchen glanced at her faintly, then looked for water to rinse his mouth depressedly.
After handling the matter, Tang Qian and Lu Nanchen immediately prepared to leave with their three children.
The high priest suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute."
Everyone stopped and turned to look at the high priest in confusion.
The high priest looked at little Momo and said, "This child is born with a Gu body. Do you want to consider letting him learn Gu?"
Before Tang Qian and Lu Nanchen refused, the high priest hurriedly explained: "The outside world has misunderstandings about our Gu clan. They think that voodoo techniques are all harmful to people. In fact, voodoo techniques can also be divided into good and bad."
"For example, the longevity voodoo can increase lifespan, the beauty voodoo can keep the appearance, and the body strengthening voodoo can make the body strong. Some domestic voodoo can get rid of cockroaches, mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the house."
Tang Qian was surprised and said: "I see that the people in the whole village are very young. Is it because they used the beauty Gu?"
The high priest nodded: "There is this reason."
To be honest, Tang Qian was very moved by what the high priest said. Longevity, beauty, and physical fitness had been studied by people for thousands of years.
But she didn't trust Xiao Momo to learn Gu, and Xiao Momo's current situation meant that he couldn't even communicate, let alone learn anything.
Tang Qian said: "I'm afraid he won't be able to learn. He can't hear or speak now. He can't even communicate with others at basic levels, let alone learn anything."
The high priest smiled mysteriously: "That would be more appropriate!"
They flew to Yunnan Airport, took a bus to the county seat, rented a car and arrived at the township. On the way to the mountain village, the road became increasingly difficult to walk, and the rented car could no longer move forward.
