Chapter 124 (2/2)

Perhaps seeing the fees, the youth driver continued to speak: “This Qiang village doesn’t engage in tourism development, so the people there don’t like outsiders. Not only that, the local people have the final say in this village, so in case something happens, the police won’t do anything. Since you want to travel, then travel, but only look at the village from outside and don’t enter it!”

“Alright, thank you.” Qin Lang said.

Broom!~

After a moment, the youth driver started his bike and disappeared down the road.

One couldn’t see any human habitation at the base of Mt. Baiping, but right at this time, an old Qiang person walked over, he was carrying a basket and looked to be about fifty, but his steps were healthy and strong. He approached Qin Lang and said: “Young man, it is going to be dark soon, what are you doing here?”

“I want to climb the mountain.” Qin Lang said.

“Climb the mountain? Such a coincidence, I am also going up the mountain to the village. Young man, let me accompany you.”

“Okay, thank you.” Qin Lang smiled.

Qin Lang started ascending the mountain with this Qiang old man. After exhausting themselves for nearly an hour, they finally saw the fortified village that was among the hillsides. The village was built on the mountain, there were streams of waterfalls all around the village, and many birds were flying over the woods. As one gazed at this scene from far away, it gave a feeling of Utopia.

Just then, the sun set at the horizon, dying the whole scene the color red, giving a feeling of indescribable uneasiness.

“Young man, our village is just ahead. It is getting dark, how about staying a night at the village? You can continue climbing tomorrow.” The old man said to Qin Lang.

“I say, old geezer, aren’t you tired of pretending for so long?” Qin Lang suddenly said, indifferently, “Your basket is actually empty but you have put leaves around the lid. Your purpose is to bring me to this village, right?”

Having been exposed by Qin Lang, the old man’s simple and honest appearance immediately changed to a malevolent expression: “Stinky kid, you are Qin Lang, right? Ahead is our village, if you have guts then follow me -----”

This old man then blew a sharp whistle, this whistle scared almost all the birds away.

Following the whistle, a desolate aura seemed to have pervaded the mountain.

“Lead the way! I will meet with Qing Heyun!”

Qin Lang then followed the old man towards the village.

The buildings in the village were made of tan colored stones, some were at higher level and some lower, there was a picturesque disorder to them. The terrain was very steep, the only way to enter was through the village gate. There were also two tall watch-posts which overlooked the whole village.

Qin Lang was not sure whether this was Qinghuan group’s main base or not, but no matter what, this place was really good, it wouldn’t have been a wrong choice if he had come here to travel. Unfortunately, this place had become a ‘bandits’ nest’.

The old man was leading the way, but when he reached the village gate, he felt something wrong, so he quickly turned around but Qin Lang was not there! When did he disappear? This old man didn’t have the slightest clue.

Wuuuuu!~

A horn sounded in the village and dozens of armed people rushed out of the village.
