983 Let Them Ou (1/2)
”Is that true or false?”
”It's true, of course. It's a real video!”
”Where is this place?”
”Look, they even marked it out on the map.”
”Brothers, shall we go and have a look?”
”Yes!”
In the past couple of days, a place called the Valley of Thousands of Medicine had suddenly risen to fame on the internet.
It was located in the depths of the jungle. It was a real retreat from the world, a hidden paradise. The only way in and out was to cross a suspension bridge suspended above the turbulent river. From there, one had to follow a small path into a canyon.
This information was not just in written form. It was accompanied by pictures, which suddenly boosted its credibility.
Some people were always willing to venture into remote places, so more and more people began heading for the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. They encountered many strange things on the way there, such as their car's tires suddenly giving out, a person suddenly fainting, a strange blood-covered person falling from the sky, and so on. These abnormal events were posted on the internet by those who had wanted to go to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine but couldn't. It caused another bout of heated discussion.
Some speculated that it was a place protected by gods and a pure paradise, so it could not be disturbed by outsiders. Some said that these things were purely coincidental while others guessed that these things were the works of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine's villagers, who had deliberately done so to avoid being disturbed by outsiders.
The more this went on, the more it aroused some people's curiosity. The number of people exploring the Valley of Thousands of Medicine increased instead of lessening.
”What? The number of people is increasing?”
”Yes, I'm afraid continuing like this is not the way to go!”
”It must have made them more curious.” Miao Xihe sipped on a cup of clear tea.
”We can't stop them from coming in.”
”Shall we let them in?”
”Let them in,” Miao Xihe said.
”Huh?”
”Let them in so they can regret coming in,” Miao Xihe lightly said.
”Yes,” Miao Qingfeng replied.
He didn't know what the chief was going to do, but from his words, he seemed to have made up his mind.
”Have our people take a good look into this. There's something suspicious about this.”
”Yes, I'll leave now.”
”Alright.” Miao Xihe acknowledged him with a wave of his hands. ”Go on, go on.”
Under the glow of the setting sun, a group of five people overcame many difficulties and finally saw the suspension bridge over the river and the vaguely visible stockade at the other end of the bridge.
”It's the Valley of Thousands of Medicine! We've finally found it!”
They passed the rickety suspension bridge, stood at the mouth of the valley, and saw the scene inside.
”What a beautiful place!”
”Yeah, it's exactly like the one in the pictures.”
They didn't forget to immediately post it on their social media accounts.
”We found the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, a place of legends. It's as beautiful as a painting.”
”It's a hidden paradise.”
”Thousands of miles, a day's rush, and bumps all along the way were all worth it!”
”Let's go in and have a look together.”
The five of them passed through the valley and came to the stockade. They saw the people in the stockade, dressed in a pair of homespun cloth, leisurely walking.
”Hello.” They came forward to greet the people there.
After hearing their voices, a man in his 40s looked at the five of them and opened his mouth to say something, but they didn't understand.
”Well, what does he mean?”
”Could it be a local dialect?”
”It must be!”
The five of them were stunned. No one could understand what the man had said, and the man couldn't understand them either. There was no way to communicate.
”What should we do?”
”Well, let's go around and find a place to stay.”
”Wait, it's getting darker. Why don't we find a place to rest for the night first?”
”Yes, let's hurry up.”
The sun was about to set.
