Yang Ling deserves to be a girl with a background in police affairs. When she knew that Ye Chen was going to find the village chief of Xiashanzhai, she felt that the villagers in Xiashanzhai were all suspects, and the village chief's suspects were also relatively large.

However, if you go to the village head right now, wouldn't it be a waste of effort, or even reveal the identity of the two?

"Miss Yang, what you said is right. But for the time being, I feel that the village chief’s motives for committing the crime are not great. Moreover, he is the patriarch, the village chief, who has the most power and interests in the lower cottage. In the lower cottage, he can do whatever he wants. But, he shouldn't need to kill people with Gu, what's more, he is still the most prestigious person in the cottage, why did he kill people with Gu?" Ye Chen asked.

It's like a person is doing well in all aspects, but why does he want to harm ordinary people? Unless this person is perverted.

"You are right." Yang Ling said.

The more the two went up the mountain, the steeper the road, but on both sides, and even farther, the houses were built along the slopes of the valley.

Maybe the soil here is relatively good in all aspects, and I am not afraid of mudslides and landslides when it rains heavily.

If it is in other places, under this kind of terrain, it is definitely not suitable for building a house.

Of course, the villagers’ drinking water problem here is because without electricity, it is impossible to draw water from the well below the valley, but directly through some simple bamboo pipes, from the spring water at the highest point on the mountain to people everywhere. From here, Ye Chen could see that the Miao people here are still very smart and can use the resources and advantages here to bring convenience to life.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived halfway up the mountain. With the help of the moonlight, standing on the mountainside, Ye Chen could see more clearly the scene in this quiet mountain village, and now he saw a large house outside. There is also a field of rapeseed under the valley, as well as in the distance, and further away, there are terraces that have been developed, and rice is planted on the terraces.

As for the area where Ye Chen came in from the entrance of the village, it was the mountains and trees. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is easy for outsiders to take the wrong path when they come in.

From this point of view, if it weren't for the Witch Gu death incident, the place was quiet and quiet, which could be regarded as a good peach blossom source.

"The scenery is good, it can be regarded as a peach blossom field." Ye Chen said.

Yang Ling didn't feel anything, because most of the poor and backward mountains are like this. When a person goes outside and gets used to the electricity, information, all kinds of conveniences and temptations outside, he will find that the enclosed scenery is beautiful, it is only suitable for watching for a period of time, but I feel tired after watching more, not as good as outside The world is wonderful.

The two of them continued to walk up the mountain. They walked for about twenty-five minutes, and finally came to a place with a house below the highest point. This should be the place where the family of the patriarch of Xiashanzhai lived.

Now that the two of them have just arrived here, Ye Chen has already seen a dark-skinned, not very tall, with a turban on his head, but he is a very energetic, kind-eyed, sixty or seventy year old. The old man was there looking at them.

This is the highest place in Xiashanzhai, and you can see the entrance of the village leading to the outside at a glance. If it is during the day, you can see the Xiashanzhai more clearly here.

Because it is dark now, I don't see much vision. However, the barking of dogs in the village sounded from time to time, and the patriarch's family had long heard it.

Patriarch Jin Dongdong had already seen the arrival of these two people here. Of course, as the moonlight was shining, he had just begun to see it clearly.

By the time these two people came over, they could see clearly. Especially Yang Ling next to Ye Chen, he could see that the appearance of the Miao people on their side was very similar.

"Hello, are you the Chief Jin here?" Ye Chen asked.

"I am." Jin Winter said.

When Yang Ling took out his work permit, Jin Dongdong already knew the origin of these two people. He knew that it was not for stealing things from the cottage, or other circumstances. It was naturally different, so Ye Chen and Yang Ling went to his house. .

After Ye Chen and Yang Ling followed in, he found that the house was really built against the mountain. The bottom of the house was supported and erected with stones and thick wood, and a floor was built on the top, and the bottom may be It is used to put firewood or make the kitchen, and on the upper floor, there is a small hall and three other rooms.

When Ye Chen and Yang Ling sat down, Ye Chen still saw a middle-aged man in his forties who looked somewhat similar to Jin Winter.

The middle-aged man's skin is also very dark, but his eyes are also very divine. At first, both Ye Chen and Yang Ling thought that the patriarch was the village head here.

Soon, Ye Chen and Yang Ling learned that Jin Dongdong’s Miao surname was Dajiu, and the Han surname was Jin, the Han surname was Jin Dongdong, and his son was Jin Tianbao.

The fathers and grandfathers before Jin Winter have always been the patriarchs of the Xiashanzhai and the patriarch of the ancestral hall. However, modern management is not as complicated as before. Patriarchs generally manage the ancestral halls and have long taken the place of the chiefs.

Before Jin Dongdong was 60 years old, he was the village head of the village. He usually attended meetings in Baidang Township.

However, after the age of 60, although the country does not stipulate that he must retire and be unable to serve as the village chief, he is already old after all, and he is not as energetic as before. Moreover, he can only go out after a trip. Meetings in Baidang Township were not easy, so he handed over the position of village head to his son Jin Tianbao, who became the village head of Xiashanzhai.

Of course, Jin Winter’s prestige in the village is still the highest, so before he had this world, he was still the patriarch of the village, managing the affairs of the ancestral hall, and worshiping the ancestor’s tombs. He was also responsible for him.

Therefore, it can be said that now Jin Winter and Jin Tianbao and his son, one is internal management, the other is external management.

Of course, the father and son jointly manage the affairs of the village, even, the father passes the son, the son passes the grandson. Ye Chen has seen a lot of this kind of thing long ago. It is no surprise that it is not surprising, not to mention, it is even more in the Miao Village. normal.

Jin Dongdong personally went to pour Ye Chen and Yang Ling a cup of spring tea picked from the Shanzhai Mountain. When they put it in front of Ye Chen and Yang Ling, Ye Chen smelled the tea, thanked Jin Dongdong, and then picked it up. drink.

However, Yang Ling hesitated. When she entered the Miao villages, she clearly remembered what her grandparents, grandparents, and even her parents had said to her. In those Miao villages, it’s better not to be the first time. Contact with strange Miao people, especially drinking tea and water, is the easiest way for others to get guts.

Obviously, Yang Ling’s hesitation and hesitation is all in Jin Winter’s eyes. Jin Winter asks: "Miss Yang, I think you look like our Miao people. Are you our Miao people?"

"Patriarch Jin, I am an authentic Miao, and I also grew up in Miao Village. My Miao surname is Du Wulaou." Yang Ling said.

At this point, she was not afraid of anything, as long as she was not known by others about her true birthday, she could not cast spells on her.
