Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 144 Lost
Without much effort, many villagers came after hearing the news:
"What's going on? What happened?"

"My Yaowa said that a person who looks like a ghost has come!"

"What? Someone who looks like a ghost? How ugly is that?"

"Whether he is a man or a ghost, there are so many of us, why should we be afraid of him?"

"Yes! Let's check it carefully. If it's a bad guy, we'll send him to the police station!"

Mountain people are generally very tough, especially in their territory, the king of heaven and I have to walk with his head down, otherwise he is asking for trouble.Even if he is taught a lesson by the mountain people, there is no place to reason.

While Watson was driving away the dirt dogs, he saw a large group of villagers rushing towards him carrying farm tools.The crowd quickly surrounded him, and Watson turned pale with fright.

From the behavior of the other party, it can be seen that they are definitely not welcoming themselves, but are here to teach themselves.Watson was horrified to himself: I didn't do anything bad, why did they treat me like this?Is it because I accidentally scared the two children to tears?This is too ridiculous, right?

The villagers rushed forward aggressively, as if they wanted to fight the bad elements to the end, but when they saw Watson's appearance clearly, everyone on the scene was stunned.

After a while, an aunt with a broom in her hand asked in a low voice, "Seventh Master, is he an old man?"

"It looks a bit like..."

"Didn't we break up with the old man a long time ago? Why is there an old man who came to us now?"

"Who knows?"

Westerners basically look the same in the eyes of Chinese people, so it is no wonder that these people get it wrong.

As the head of Niupengwan Village, Seventh Uncle naturally couldn't back down at this time. He stepped forward and asked in a rough voice, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Watson couldn't understand Chinese with a strong local accent at all, but he could roughly guess what the other party was asking from the expression of the other party. In order to eliminate the misunderstanding as soon as possible, Watson immediately used the old method to speak clearly The place name Aoshan came into being.

Many villagers immediately understood what he meant, and the village head, the Seventh Uncle, was no exception. He said, "So you are going to Aoshan Town, then you are going the wrong way, Aoshan Town is in that direction."

The seventh uncle pointed to the southwest while speaking, and at the same time secretly heaved a sigh of relief.After all, the other party was a foreigner, so he didn't dare to act recklessly, otherwise it might lead to serious foreign-related incidents.As an official at the lowest level, the seventh uncle still knows these rules.

Seeing that the Seventh Master's expression softened and he pointed out a direction, Watson immediately understood what the Seventh Master meant.He let out a long breath, nodded his thanks again and again, and then pointed to the dozen or so dogs surrounding him, meaning that I would like to ask you to help me drive these dogs away.

Before the seventh uncle could speak, some villagers came forward to chase him away.It didn't take much effort, and the dirt dogs who were grinning at Watson were driven away.Watson nodded his thanks again, and then, under the collective gaze of the villagers, he walked in the direction indicated by the seventh uncle.

After waiting until his back disappeared, a young villager said, "Grandpa Seven, did we forget something?"

The seventh uncle was slightly taken aback: "What did you forget?"

"I forgot to check the letter of introduction. If he went to Aoshan for business, he would definitely bring a letter of introduction. If he didn't have a letter of introduction, it would be very suspicious."

If you want to travel far in this era, you must have a letter of introduction, otherwise the train station will not sell you a ticket, and you will not be able to stay in a hotel if you go to another place.A letter of introduction is equivalent to an ancient guide. Without this, it is absolutely difficult to move forward, and it is easy to be arrested as a suspicious person.

The Seventh Master slapped his head: "I forgot, but they have already left, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to catch up and ask to see the letter of introduction. In my opinion, let's just forget about it. Anyway, Aoshan Town is the same place." I'll check it out, it's not bad for our level."

The seventh uncle is mainly afraid of trouble, but also a little bit sad.He is naturally majestic in front of the villagers, but he is a little guilty when facing foreign guests.This mentality is in line with the general attitude of Chinese people towards foreigners.

Now that the village chief has said so, naturally there will be no uninterested people sticking to principles.The big guys chatted about today's adventures chattering, and carried the guys away.

Watson walked less than five miles in the direction pointed out by the seventh uncle, and found that there was no way to go.The direction pointed out by the seventh uncle is absolutely correct, and he did not deceive Watson.But Watson started from Niupengwan Village, not the main road leading to the county seat.

When he walked to the end, what he saw were fields that had been reclaimed in the mountains. He just walked the path that the villagers of Niupengwan led to their fields, not the main road leading to Aoshan Town.

Watson once wanted to go back and ask for clarification, but when he thought about what happened just now, he immediately dismissed the idea.

The experience of these days made him faintly feel that Chinese people seem to be very wary of foreigners. What should he do if he turns back and is misunderstood by those villagers?Even if there is no misunderstanding, but the language of the two sides is different, I can't ask clearly.

"Damn it, I wouldn't have sneaked out if I knew it earlier. If there was Li Translator, things wouldn't be so troublesome."

It's over, it's too late to regret.Watson chose to believe in the seventh uncle. He felt that the Chinese were still very honest and it was impossible to deceive him.Although there is no road ahead, as long as you walk unswervingly in this direction, you will definitely reach your destination.

After making up his mind, Watson strode across the mountains and ridges.Anyone who has walked the mountain road knows that there are lush forests in the mountains. If there is no road, the sight of the mountain will be blocked, and it is easy to deviate from the direction.

Watson encountered this situation. Although he is tall, can he be taller than trees?After walking through the woods for more than two hours, Watson finally realized that he was lost.

Even so, Watson wasn't all that flustered.He climbed to a big tree, looked up, and then continued towards the top of the hill.After repeating this several times, Watson finally reached a mountain.

Looking at it from a high place, Watson couldn't help being dumbfounded.Looking up, he didn't see any human habitation, but only towering mountains.Up to now, he has completely lost his way, and he has no idea which side is Aoshan Town.

"God, please show me a clear way!"

God may have been on vacation and hadn't heard Watson's plea.Watson sighed, and sat down on a big rock in frustration.After all, he is a university professor, and his psychological quality is still very strong.After sitting for a short time, Watson began to recall the details of this journey, trying to find some clues to get out of trouble.
