Chapter 318 Staying in a silent village and encountering a white fox

After taking a group photo with a group of people at the police station and writing a postcard to the old policeman called Brother Liu and signing his name, Qin Yuan left as if running away.

Because if he didn't leave, he probably wouldn't be able to leave. The news of his appearance at the police station had already spread, and other police officers had already arrived from other offices.

If the time drags on a little longer, it is estimated that there will be many people from other bureaus coming to take photos and autographs with him. This kind of thing is naturally not what he wants to see. After all, he only rode 50 kilometers today. There is still half the journey not completed!

After leaving the police station, Qin Yuan turned on the action camera with lingering fear, and then continued to shoot.

"The group of police comrades just now were so enthusiastic that I almost couldn't get away. It was so thrilling. It seems that it would be better to do less of the good thing of being invited to dinner in the future.

Firstly, it will cause trouble for others, and secondly, it is indeed inconvenient. If I had left a little later, there would probably be a lot of people gathering at the police station, and it would be bad if something went wrong. "Qin Yuan said to himself.

"But I am still very grateful to the two policemen who kindly took me to a delicious lunch. The taste was really great. Now that I am full and full of strength, it is time to continue on my way.

However, it is definitely impossible to reach my intended destination directly today. That place is still more than 150 kilometers away from my current location.

With this road condition, I will be satisfied if I can ride another 50 kilometers before dark. Then I will be able to ride another 100 kilometers tomorrow.

So I have to look for a campsite tonight, hoping to find an abandoned house with a fire pit like before, so that I can have a good rest tonight. "

Qin Yuan looked at the lens of the action camera and muttered to himself while riding. He didn't feel bored at all. He had ridden for thousands of kilometers and he had long been accustomed to this kind of life.

Cycling is a lonely process. The beautiful scenery and interesting things he photographed only accounted for a small part of the cycling, and what he showed was only this small part.

So this will give people the illusion that riding is very fun, but in fact it is not. Most people cannot bear this kind of long-term loneliness and will eventually choose to give up.

As for the reason why Qin Yuan was able to persist for so long, it was because he had enjoyed everything he should have enjoyed in his previous life. He was tired of living a colorful life.

Secondly, it is because his current riding is not just a kind of riding, but also an evolutionary path that can make him stronger. Therefore, he will naturally not give up easily.

"I didn't expect that the road conditions on this road were okay. At least I don't have to get down to push the cart. It seems that I can complete the planned plan today." Qin Yuan said with satisfaction looking at the snow-free road.

With no one around him, he felt very relaxed and at ease. His whole mood was much happier. He had been riding alone for a long time. Now, instead of being afraid of loneliness, he really enjoyed his time alone.

He was humming a song while riding, and he was as cheerful as a little bird. Time flowed by in such a relaxed and comfortable state, and it was afternoon before he knew it.

"It's getting late, so it's time to look for a campsite tonight. Because the road conditions were good this afternoon, we accomplished the set goal ahead of schedule, so we can start looking for a campsite now."

While searching around, Qin Yuan looked at the camera and said. He looked very busy. After all, a good campsite was related to whether he could have a good night's sleep tonight, so he was very concerned about it.

"I couldn't find a suitable campsite as far as I could see, but it doesn't matter. I just saw a small village five kilometers ahead on the satellite map. I might be able to find a suitable place to stay in that place. No more nonsense. Say, just ride over there and talk.”

Qin Yuan speeded up his riding speed as he spoke, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the small village he saw on the satellite map.

But what surprised him was that this village was not popular at all. It was eerily quiet, as if there were no residents at all.

In order to verify his conjecture, he parked his bicycle at the entrance of the village, and then walked into the village while taking pictures with a sports camera.

This village in the mountains and forests was not big, with only seven or eight houses. However, when he looked over, he did not see any smoking ones, which meant that no one lived in it.

You must know that winter in the Northeast is very cold, and central heating is naturally impossible to happen in a small village in the mountains and forests.

In the countryside of the Northeast, there is only one way to keep warm, and that is to burn firewood or charcoal by yourself, so it is actually very simple to tell whether someone lives in a house. Just look at whether there is smoke from the chimney. Just know.

Of course, it was okay to check whether there were lights on at home at night, but now he could see at a glance that almost all the chimneys were not emitting smoke, which meant that there were basically no villagers in this village.

Looking at the cold village, Qin Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

“This village seems to be deserted and deserted. To be honest, I can’t help but feel sad when I see such a scene.

I remember that when I was a child, the village in my hometown was very lively, with chickens crowing and dogs barking every day. Unless it was evening and noon, there was no quiet time at all.

At that time, the countryside was like a paradise. Traffic was everywhere, chickens and dogs heard each other, and people were planting crops. Men and women were dressed like outsiders, with yellow hair hanging down, and they were enjoying themselves.

That has been the living conditions of our people in the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years. However, with the continuous advancement of industrialization, the traditional way of life of our people in the Dragon Kingdom has disappeared. Many villages have disappeared in name only, and some have turned into ruins. .

Of course, I'm not saying this is a mistake or anything. After all, this is a stage that the development of the times must go through.

I just feel sad and sad. Every time I see this kind of deserted countryside, I feel a little sad.

For me, I am just a passerby in this village, but for some people, this is their hometown, or their childhood that they can never go back to!

Okay, I’ve said a bit too much, and I’m a bit off topic. I won’t go into details anymore. I’ll see if there are any habitable houses in this village. I’ll spend the night here tonight! "

Qin Yuan adjusted his mentality and continued to wander around the small village. At this moment, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a house at the back of the village, because he found that there was smoke coming from the chimney of that house. out, which means that there are people living in that house.

This couldn't help but make him feel inexplicably excited. After all, he had just thought that the entire village had been abandoned, but now he discovered that there were still residents in the village. Such unexpected discoveries are always more surprising!

"Did you see that there is smoke coming out of the last house in the village, which means there are people living in the house. I will go over and visit and see if I can borrow a useless house to live in." Qin Yuan said as he spoke , while walking towards the house, I saw that the house was about 100 meters away from the entrance of the village, which was still quite far.

But just as he was about to approach the house, there was a rapid barking of a dog, which immediately made Qin Yuan energetic.

Listening to the barking of the dog, Qin Yuan not only did not look impatient at all, but instead showed a happy smile on his face, with a hint of intoxication between his eyebrows.

"The barking of the dog is so friendly! This is the countryside in my impression! Yes, that's the feeling. It's really great."

Qin Yuan was talking to himself as he came to the door of the house, and the barking was made by an old yellow dog, which is what people often call a native dog.

At this moment, the old yellow dog looked at Qin Yuan with a wary look, and stood on the snow in the yard at the door of the house, barking fiercely at him, as if to harass him, the uninvited guest.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan smiled and did not leave. Instead, he stood quietly outside the fence at the entrance of the yard, preparing to ask the owner of the house.

But before he opened the door, the door of the room was opened from the inside, and then a stooped old woman stuck her head out and looked at him.

At the same time, a white furry creature quickly jumped out of the house, came to the old yellow dog, and then bared its teeth at Qin Yuan with the same vigilance.

Looking at the white plush creature that suddenly appeared in front of him, Qin Yuan couldn't help but show shock on his face, because he found that the white plush creature turned out to be a white fox.

You must know that there are no white foxes in the Dragon Kingdom, because white foxes mainly live in some cold areas and are more common in coastal areas around the Arctic Circle. This small animal can live well in ice fields with temperatures of more than minus 50 degrees. .

The reason why there are white foxes in the Dragon Kingdom now is that most of them are artificially raised and domesticated arctic foxes, imported from outside.

However, it was precisely because the white fox was artificially raised that Qin Yuan was even more surprised to appear in such a remote mountain village at this moment.

In addition to being shocked, he was even more surprised by the scene in front of him. He did not expect that the person who opened the door would be an elderly grandmother.

Just looking at the old woman's stooped back, he felt that she was at least 80 years old.

It is really strange that at such an old age, he still lives in a village with few people.

In addition, the sky was slowly getting dark now, which made the scene in front of me feel like a thriller.

The quiet countryside, the old woman, the white fox, and the old yellow dog. If you were an ordinary person, you would probably be sweating all over the place.

Let alone an ordinary person, even Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

However, as a materialistic warrior, he didn't really believe in the so-called ghost theory, so he adjusted after a while.

Then he said very politely: "Grandma, I rode here from a very far away place. I want to stay here tonight. I will come over in advance to say hello to you to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Qin Yuan originally came here to borrow a house to live in. After all, the countryside is a big place. Generally, a family has many houses. Some houses are unoccupied and will be used as firewood sheds or utility rooms, so as long as With one room, he could save setting up a tent tonight.

But now that the old woman in front of me is so old, her ears may not work well, and her legs and feet may not be convenient either.

In this way, he thought about it and decided to forget it and not bother the old lady in front of him. He would just find a place to set up his tent against the wall later, which could block the wind.

He has a stove anyway, so it doesn't matter if he continues to sleep in the wild tonight.

But what he didn't expect was that when he said that he was from far away, the old woman immediately walked out of the house on crutches.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan was startled. It was winter and the yard was full of snow. It would be terrible if he accidentally fell.

So, he immediately opened the fence door, and then walked quickly over, saying as he walked: "Grandma, be careful, don't fall, otherwise I will be guilty."

When Qin Yuan opened the door and came in, the old yellow dog and white fox rushed towards him fiercely, as if they wanted to bite him.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yuan immediately activated his animal communication skills and used his consciousness to convey a voice in their minds.

"I don't mean any harm to you two. You don't need to treat me as an enemy. I was just worried about the old lady falling. If you don't welcome me, I will leave later. Please be quiet now, okay?"

Hearing the sudden voice in their minds, the old yellow dog and the white fox felt as if they were struck by lightning. Their faces could not help but have anthropomorphic looks of shock. For a while, they didn't know what to do, so they looked at Qin Yuan quietly. , actually really stopped barking.

At this time, the old woman muttered: "Little doll, there is no one in the village this winter, and I am the only one who still lives here. I have a vacant room at home, so you can live here with me!"

Qin Yuan did not expect that this elderly grandmother's ears were still very good and she could hear him.

Only then did he realize why the old lady in front of him had come out. She was treating herself as a guest and was planning to welcome him!

After understanding this, he couldn't help but feel very moved. He didn't expect that the old man in front of him would be so hospitable to him after meeting by chance. This kindness was really precious.
