Chapter 161 Visiting the Village

After crossing a dense jungle, Ouyang Mengmian, Susan and the tour guide finally arrived at the mysterious village hidden at the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, they crossed low bushes, stepped on exotic flowers and plants that they could not name, and crossed several clear gurgling streams, trudging through them with difficulty.

The moment you step into the village, it feels like you have entered a fairyland isolated from the world. The roads here are narrow and winding, like a maze.

Along the road, the green bamboo forest swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds; the colorful wild flowers competed with each other in beauty, emitting bursts of fragrance. The whole village was filled with an indescribable atmosphere of tranquility and peace, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

As soon as Ouyang Mengmian and Susan stepped into the village, they were immediately attracted by the unique buildings around them.

Most of these houses are made of traditional wooden structures with roofs covered with thick thatch or tiles, and have withstood the test of time and wind.

They are scattered among the mountains in an orderly manner, blending into the natural environment. From a distance, these houses are like a beautiful painting.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan strolled through the villages with great interest, immersed in the quaint beauty.

They carefully looked at each house and marveled at its exquisite carvings. Every door and window seemed to contain a long history and tell stories that had happened in the past.

These stories may have been gradually forgotten with the passage of time, but through these ancient buildings, we can still feel the profound cultural heritage.

As the exploration progressed, the footprints of Ouyang Mengmian, Susan and the tour guide attracted the attention of more and more villagers.

They stopped what they were doing and gathered around curiously, their eyes filled with curiosity and friendliness towards the visitors from afar.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan also looked at the villagers in traditional ethnic costumes with curiosity. Their faces were simple, and their clothes were colorful and had unique patterns, as if telling the story of the ancient village.

Not long after, a group of lively and cute children rushed out from the crowd, surrounding an elder - the village chief.

The village chief looked old but in good spirits. He was dressed in traditional clothes and had an exquisite headdress on his head. He looked solemn and majestic.

The village chief walked up to Ouyang Mengmian, Susan and the tour guide, and speaking Mandarin with a strong local accent, he smiled and expressed a warm welcome to them.

He learned in advance the purpose of Ouyang Mengmian and her friends' visit, so he specially arranged a girl named Anniu, about 17 or 18 years old, as a guide to take them around the village and get a deeper understanding of the village's customs and culture.

With Anniu's company, Ouyang Mengmian and her friends traveled more freely in the village. Anniu was not only familiar with every corner of the village, but also knew a lot about the local culture and traditions.

She enthusiastically introduced the village's history, customs and daily life of the villagers, allowing Ouyang Mengmian and Susan to feel the unique charm of this village.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan admired the customs and culture of the village while taking photos and keeping records.

In the village, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan also saw many exquisite handicrafts. Most of these handicrafts are made of local natural resources and processed by the villagers. For example, bamboo handicrafts, embroidery, silver jewelry, etc., each of which is full of unique artistic charm. Ouyang Mengmian and Susan praised these handicrafts and bought some as souvenirs.

Anniu also took them to the center of the village, where there was a wide square. In the square, villagers were doing daily activities such as drying grains and chatting about family matters, exuding a strong sense of life.

What attracted Ouyang Mengmian and Susan were some ancient musical instruments such as drums, cymbals, Hulusi and Sanxian placed in the square, which are important tools used by villagers to celebrate festivals and hold ceremonies.

Under Anniu's guidance, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan both tried these instruments themselves. Although their skills were unfamiliar, they both felt the unique charm and joy brought by the instruments.

Soon, the morning was over. Anniu warmly invited Ouyang Mengmian and the others to visit her home.

Anniu's warm invitation made Ouyang Mengmian and Susan feel very cordial. Under Anniu's leadership, they followed the tour guide into the traditional and warm farmyard.

Although the courtyard is not big, it is well-organized and full of life. In the courtyard, various plants are lush and green, and flowers are blooming, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Entering the house, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan were attracted by the decoration and furnishings inside. Exquisite embroidery works were hung on the wall, and handmade ceramic utensils were placed on the table. Each of them revealed the owner's love for life and pursuit of beauty.

Anniu's family was also very hospitable. They served local delicacies, including fragrant rice, delicious fish, homemade pickles and special snacks. Ouyang Mengmian and Susan tasted these delicacies and felt the simplicity and sincerity of this place.

At Anniu's home, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan also heard many stories about the village and local culture. Anniu and her family told them the history, legends and customs of the village, which gave them a deeper understanding of the place.

After lunch, Anniu took Ouyang Mengmian and Susan to visit other rooms in the house. They saw the warehouses used by villagers to store grain, the places for drying crops, and the handmade crafts. All these made them feel the simplicity and hard work of this village.

During their time at Anniu's home, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan spent a pleasant and unforgettable afternoon. Not only did they taste delicious food and learn about culture, but they also made friends with this warm and friendly friend. This experience will become a wonderful memory in their lives.

Anniu said that there would be a bonfire party in the evening to welcome them.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan were very surprised and excited when Anniu mentioned that there would be a bonfire party specially held for them in the evening. They excitedly imagined the lively scene at the party, and their hearts were full of curiosity and yearning for the unknown.

As night fell, the bonfire party was held as scheduled in the village square. The villagers sat around the bonfire early, their faces filled with joy and anticipation. The bonfire was burning, and the firelight illuminated everyone's face, warm and bright.

The party started, and the villagers showed their talents one after another. Some sang melodious songs, some played musical instruments, and some danced happily. Their dance moves were graceful, the rhythm was brisk, and full of the breath of life.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan were deeply attracted and took up their cameras to record these wonderful moments. Later, Anniu also joined in. Her performance was particularly eye-catching. Both her dancing and singing were full of vitality and appeal.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan were also infected by the joyful atmosphere. They sang, danced, and tasted local wine with the villagers, enjoying this rare happy time. They also tried to learn some local dance moves and songs from the villagers. Although they were a little clumsy at first, they soon integrated into it.

The bonfire party lasted until late at night, but everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. Ouyang Mengmian and Susan shared laughter and stories with the villagers, feeling the warmth and friendliness of the village. They were deeply moved by the people here and felt fortunate to be able to come here.

This bonfire party became one of the most unforgettable experiences for Ouyang Mengmian and Susan in this village. They treasured this wonderful memory in their hearts and looked forward to having the opportunity to return to this beautiful place again in the future.

As it was already late, Ouyang Mengmian and Susan decided to stay overnight at Anniu's home. With Anniu's enthusiastic arrangement, they and the tour guide stayed in a spacious and warm guest room. The guest room was simply and comfortably decorated, and the bed was soft and clean, making people feel at home.

Under the cover of night, the village gradually became quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and barking of dogs in the distance breaking the tranquility.

Ouyang Mengmian and Susan lay on the bed, their hearts full of gratitude and satisfaction. They recalled the experience of the day, from visiting the village's handicrafts to tasting food, to interacting with the villagers, every moment made them feel the charm and warmth of this village.

The next morning, the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows. After a hearty breakfast, Ouyang Mengmian, with a heart full of attachment and reluctance, said goodbye to the kind and simple villagers one by one, and set out on the previously arranged itinerary again.
