Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 652: Staying behind closed doors
Traveling through the mountains and forests is not the same as traveling on flat ground.

Physical exertion and the difficulty of walking on the road are secondary. It is humid, stuffy, and from time to time there are strange noises coming from invisible places, which may be from wild beasts or something else. The insects are obviously several sizes larger than those in the Central Plains, and often pop out suddenly without any warning.

However, when Yang Yiyi got up in the morning, she finally received good news, saying that they would be able to reach Qingzhu Village before dark today.

After eight days and seven nights in the mountains, Yang Yiyi was in urgent need of finding a real bed, and the small bamboo house with southern Xinjiang characteristics seemed quite interesting.

With this thought in mind, the group set off again.

I don’t know if it’s a matter of luck, but before there were always occasional heavy rains, but today there was not a single raindrop and the sky was cloudless. I felt more energetic when walking.

Although for Southern Xinjiang, everyone is currently just on the periphery, but looking at history, Yang Yiyi and his companions are already the Central Plains people who have penetrated the deepest into Southern Xinjiang.

The group climbed over mountains and crossed over one hill, and finally arrived at Qingzhu Village before the sun set at 3 p.m.

At this time, everyone was standing on the hillside going down the mountain. Through the thick vegetation, they saw very obvious traces of human activities not far away, as well as buildings with bamboo as the main body. That was Qingzhu Village.

At this time, Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone to stop, and she wanted to take people back to tell the clan leader first.

After all, Yang Yiyi and the others are all from the Central Plains, and no one from the Central Plains has ever entered Qingzhu Village before. If they go directly there, it will easily cause unnecessary unrest.

This is understandable. The people in the Central Plains and the people outside the Great Wall have been hostile to each other for a long time. If a group of people from the Central Plains suddenly appeared, it would be the same as if a group of people from southern Xinjiang suddenly appeared in the villages and towns in the Central Plains. The local people would definitely panic.

He asked Yang Yiyi and the others to wait on the hillside, and then Ran Xiaoyi led people back to Qingzhu Village.

Yang Yiyi was originally looking forward to trying the local specialties once she entered Qingzhu Village and staying in a small bamboo house with southern Xinjiang characteristics.

Then they saw from the hillside that after Ran Xiaoyi walked into Qingzhu Village, the village gate was immediately closed, and they could hear noisy sounds coming from the village in the distance. Because they were all speaking Southern Xinjiang dialect, the people present could hardly understand it.

Soon, the noisy sounds stopped and the gate of Qingzhu Village was reopened, but Yang Yiyi and the others waited and waited but Ran Xiaoyi did not come out again.

"Um...what happened?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't they say Qingzhu Village was safe? Was it an ambush?
No one present understood the affairs of the people in southern Xinjiang, nor did they know whether it was their folk customs. But as it was getting dark, Ran Xiaoyi still hadn't appeared again, and now Yang Yiyi and the others could no longer wait.

"I'm fast, I'll go take a look."

Yang Yiyi stood up and was about to take a big jump when Qin Yan grabbed her.

"Forget it, I'll go. If you go, I'm afraid you'll get into a fight with someone."

In terms of speed, Yang Yiyi is indeed very strong, but Qinggong is not only about speed. With her agility that destroyed the parking lot like a tornado, it is obvious that her going over to check is telling the people in the village, I'm here to do it!
"I'll go with Yan Zi, so we can take care of each other. You guys mustn't wander around here, we'll be back soon."

Brother Jin also jumped out. Although he looked fat, his movements were unexpectedly handsome. Together with Qin Yan, they disappeared into the depths of the woods in a few seconds, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

The Sixteenth Village is best at climbing walls and running on rooftops. Brother Jin is also considered to be the best in light skills among the heroes of the Sixteenth Village. Everyone is naturally relieved when he goes with Qin Yan.

The rest of the people also found a place to sit down and waited for new news. After waiting for less than a cup of tea, two figures appeared in the woods, and soon Qin Yan and Brother Jin came back.

But judging from the expression on his face, it doesn't seem like good news.

"Ran Xiaoyi was locked up by the people of Qingzhu Village. We saw several large cages in the northwest corner of the village."

Yang Yiyi was puzzled when she heard this:

"Ah? Why? Didn't Qingzhu Village say that it didn't want to stir up conflicts between Southern Xinjiang and Central Plains with Baofeng Village?" "Maybe Ran Xiaoyi is the only one who doesn't want to do that. Or maybe Qingzhu Village has to temporarily confine Ran Xiaoyi under pressure from Baofeng Village, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

Wu Shaoyi said at this time:
"What should we do now? Leave her behind and go directly to Baofeng Village. Maybe the missing Lady Ning and her companions are also near Baofeng Village."

Anyway, Ran Xiaoyi was only under house arrest. The status of witches in southern Xinjiang is very high, and even the clan leader can't do anything to her. She should be released in two days.

Moreover, Qingzhu Village is not far from Baofeng Village. If we keep going forward, we should be able to find it even without a guide.

"We are in southern Xinjiang and we are unfamiliar with the place. We really shouldn't ask too much about the locals, but..."

"But we in the Sixteenth Village don't have the habit of abandoning our friends."

Qin Yan continued with the second half of the sentence, which caused the thieves from the Sixteen Villages to cheer a little.

Indeed, the Sixteen Villages' policy in the underworld can be summed up in four words: great righteousness.

Although Ran Xiaoyi is not from the Central Plains, she has saved many lives after all. We cannot ignore her now.

"Okay, okay, let's just charge in, right?"

Yang Yiyi also excitedly drew out her steel mace. She had been traveling all the time in recent days and had no chance to fight, so she was already itching to fight.

Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi couldn't help but hold their foreheads, you'd better stay still...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The village structure of the southern Xinjiang people is very similar to a barrel, with a circle of bamboo walls on the outside and buildings built inside.

This is done to guard against wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Not only are the mosquitoes in this ghost place much bigger than in other places, the wild beasts are also much more cunning.

But the wall built to protect against wild animals obviously cannot stop a group of high-flying gangsters.

When the night deepened and became completely dark, everyone started to act.

These heroes from the Sixteenth Village were absolutely professional. In the dark, they bypassed the sentry post on the wall of Qingzhu Village and went around to the northwest corner of the village. Not far across the wall was the cage where Ran Xiaoyi was imprisoned.

A bamboo wall at least five or six meters high blocked the way, but there was an expert in light martial arts who climbed up by stepping on the bamboo joints in a few steps without making any sound. Some people even squatted on the wall and looked around. The bamboo was not even bent.

After making sure the surroundings were safe, he turned over and entered Qingzhu Village. Soon after, he threw out a rope to make it easier for the people behind to come up.

Due to Wu Shaoyi's disability, she and two other people from the Sixteen Villages were asked to watch the ropes here. The others grabbed the ropes and, faster than monkeys, lined up in a row and whooshed in more than ten people.

Only when Yang Yiyi went up there was a slightly louder noise, but it didn't attract any extra attention.

When I climbed over the wall, the first thing that hit my nose was a foul smell. There was a pigpen nearby and the smell was quite disgusting.

But the good thing is that no one put torches in the pigsty, and the darkness around here is the best cover.

And Ran Xiaoyi was in the open space on the other side, where the lights were on and the view was very clear.
