Shi Bingzhi was somewhat surprised by the news.
This was already much higher than he had anticipated.
Six thirty in the afternoon.
The car stopped at the gate of a village.
The taxi driver turned to look at Yu Daohhen and the other person behind him and said, "Two young brothers, if you go further, it's Chen Family Village. Cars can't go in, so I can only take you this far."
Yu Daohhen nodded, smiled, and said, "Alright, here it is then. How much?"
The taxi driver said, "It's two hundred and fifteen in total, but I'll charge you two hundred."
"Then thank you, brother."
Saying that, Yu Daohhen took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them over.
After paying, Yu Daohhen and Shi Bingzhi prepared to get out of the car.
The taxi driver suddenly reminded them, "Two young brothers, I must remind you, the people in Chen Family Village can use Gu. Tourism is fine, but you'd better not provoke them. I'm not joking with you."
Yu Daohhen nodded, "Understood, brother. You go ahead and be busy."
Only then did the taxi driver sharply turn the steering wheel and drive away.
After the taxi left, the two looked at the village ahead.
Calling it a village was more like a hamlet.
The entire village was built on a small hill, surrounded by a river, with only one small bridge for entry and exit.
However, the scenery was exceptionally good.
Shi Bingzhi was a little confused, "Hey, didn't I hear that most older buildings in Yunnan are of the blockhouse type? Why isn't the Chen family like that?"
Yu Daohhen said with some helplessness, "Who told you that? Not all ancient architectural styles in Yunnan are blockhouse style."
Yu Daohhen had been to Yunnan once before.
And that was to give to Zhang...
Thinking of this, a bitter expression appeared on Yu Daohhen's face.
Shi Bingzhi looked at Yu Daohhen beside him and patted his shoulder, "Master Yu, what are you thinking about? Are you scared?"
Yu Daohhen put away his wandering thoughts and smiled, "Don't be ridiculous. How could I, Yu Daohhen, be afraid? Let's go."
As the two walked forward, Shi Bingzhi couldn't help but say, "Master Yu, there are at least over four hundred households in this village. Can we really contend with them?"
Yu Daohhen smiled faintly and introduced, "Old Shi, you still don't understand the Chen family."
Shi Bingzhi was slightly confused, "Master Yu, what do you mean?"
Yu Daohhen began to explain, "The Chen family is different from other prominent families. Although everyone in Chen Family Village surnamed Chen, they are not closely related to the Chen family of the Chen Kingdom."
The Chen family was also just a small family before, with a population of no more than fifty.
But their strength gradually grew, and their population slowly increased, until they reached the current over four hundred households.
However, after generations of development, the current Chen Family Village has long lost any blood ties; it is more about bearing the surname Chen.
Upon reaching the end of the bridge, a man in Miao ethnic attire suddenly walked forward and smiled, "Two young brothers, are you here for tourism?"
"Tourism?"
Shi Bingzhi was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer.
Yu Daohhen, on the other hand, reacted quickly and smiled, "Yes, my friend and I are here for tourism."
Hearing this, the man chuckled, "Young brothers, then you've come to the right place. Our village is a famous tourist attraction nearby. For just one hundred yuan, I'll take you around the entire mountain village."
"Uh..."
Shi Bingzhi did not answer but exchanged a look with Yu Daohhen beside him.
Yu Daohhen first glanced at the man's face to see if there was any hostility. Seeing none, he nodded.
Seeing Yu Daohhen's nod, Shi Bingzhi then looked at the man and said, "Alright, one hundred it is."
The man chuckled, "WeChat or Alipay?"
"WeChat!"
Shi Bingzhi was speechless. From this guy's demeanor, he knew he wasn't Chen Shanhe or someone from the Chen family.
After the money was transferred, the man immediately introduced himself, "My name is Chen Yanbo. You can call me Xiao Chen. Next, I'll introduce you to the entertainment facilities in this village."
"Two young brothers, follow me."
Saying that, Chen Yanbo walked towards the stone path ahead and began to introduce them one by one.
"Our Chen Family Mountain Village is famous for its beautiful scenery. During the day, you can go to the fields to catch field fish, in the afternoon you can go to the back mountain to pick some tea, after all, Yunnan is famous for its tea-producing regions. At night, you can set up a small table for barbecue, and there are many other things worth experiencing."
Yu Daohhen and the two were not focused on this throughout the tour.
However, they could confirm that this guy was not lying.
Along the way, people were taking pictures with their phones around them.
Judging by their attire, they were all tourists, but each group had a guide in front of them.
Their clothing and style were the same as Chen Yanbo's, Miao attire.
It seemed that Chen Family Village was indeed a tourist attraction.
Chen Yanbo, who was ahead, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yu Daohhen and the two behind him. His expression became serious, and he slowly said, "It doesn't matter if the two young brothers have heard the words above, but you must listen carefully to the following words!"
Yu Daohhen and Shi Bingzhi nodded.
Chen Yanbo then began to speak.
"First, you can take pictures anywhere in Chen Family Village, but only with the owner's permission."
"Second, we have our own ethnic culture. If you are men and a young girl from the village gives you red cloth, if you are married, say you are married. If not, you must return the red cloth. If you and the girl take a liking to each other, you can accept it, but don't think about playing around and not taking responsibility. This can be life-threatening, I'm not joking with you."
"Third, when picking tea in the back mountain, you must not go to the other side of the bridge. The Chen family there is very fierce and has a very bad temper."
Hearing this, Yu Daohhen and the two exchanged glances.
It seemed that Chen Shanhe's Chen family was across the bridge in the back mountain.
"And the most important point," Chen Yanbo continued.
Shi Bingzhi and the two looked at Chen Yanbo in front of them. Yu Daohhen couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?"
Chen Yanbo's expression became even more serious, and he slowly said, "Besides tea, we also have silver ornaments and jewelry. You must not buy these things if you see them outside!"
Yu Daohhen frowned. Did this also have some special significance?
"Why?"
Chen Yanbo's expression was serious, and he slowly uttered a few words: "Because they are very expensive!"
"This..."
Yu Daohhen and the two were instantly speechless.
This instantly exposed the true nature of a scalper.
Chen Yanbo put away his serious expression, chuckled, and said lewdly, "If you two want to buy tea or jewelry, you must find me. I guarantee you the best quality and the lowest price."
