My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 183 My name is Jiang Zai

Shen Ming stood quietly at the back, wearing a hood and a plain black robe, looking simple and unpretentious.

A small person just mixed in here, looking unknown and like a marginal figure.

She raised her head slightly, revealing her ordinary-looking face, and looked at Li Qiaoer with a calm expression.

At this moment Li Qiaoer subtly withdrew her gaze.

'Is it really not Shen Ming? But why does it feel so familiar?'

She whispered in her mind, then turned her attention to the villagers in front of her.

"Dear foreigners~To be honest...we don't know where the exit is~"

A burly middle-aged man walked out from among the villagers. He had a long scar on his face and spoke fluent and strange Mandarin, as if it was left over from the previous dynasty.

He stood up and asked the rest of the villagers to disperse and do their own things.

Then he grinned at them and said:

"Hello, strangers. I am the chief of Wu Village."

The Jianghu guest nodded.

"Hello, Village Chief. You can just call me Wu Da~"

"I want to ask... why did you say you didn't know where the exit was? Could it be that even you can't get out?"

The village chief glanced at the dozen people and sighed:

"Yes... This foggy village is very strange. You can only enter but not leave. I don't know how many years have passed since ancient times, and no one has ever been able to walk out of here..."

"We have searched everywhere, but there is no exit..."

Wu Da's face changed when he heard this.

"This……"

"Is there any other way? Like asking someone else to look for us?"

"It's no use... We tried everything... We even tried to set the mountain on fire, but it still didn't work... The woods were wet and couldn't be ignited..."

"Aren't we going to be trapped here forever?! Damn it! If I had known this earlier I wouldn't have come out!"

Some people complained angrily, while others continued to ask questions without giving up, but the results they got were the same as before.

At this moment, Li Qiaoer suddenly spoke.

"Village Chief, are you also trapped inside?"

After hearing this, the village chief narrowed his eyes slightly and pretended to recall the past.

"Yeah, we are trapped here too~"

"So...how long have you been trapped?"

Li Qiaoer continued to ask, but the village chief stopped talking and looked dazed instead.

He said vaguely.

"It seems like... more than ten years? Or... twenty years?"

Li Qiaoer glanced at the village chief inconspicuously, and a hint of doubt and fear appeared in her eyes when she saw his still strong body.

At this time, Qin Xiangling quietly returned to the end of the team from somewhere, then slowly walked behind Li Qiaoer and grabbed her.

Li Qiaoer stepped aside and the middle-aged man took over the conversation with the village chief.

"Sister Qiaoer, I have already quietly toured this village. I found that almost all the villagers here are young and middle-aged, with no elderly people at all."

"Another thing is... they have almost no farming habits. There are no farm tools in their homes. Even the stoves are covered in dust and look like they haven't been used for a long time. Everything is very messy."

"But every statue in their house has been wiped clean? It seems that the villagers here all believe in a certain god?"

Li Qiaoer nodded gently: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiangling~ You didn't get discovered, did you?"

"Hehe~ We are no match for each other, how can you not trust my Kung Fu~"

…………

"Village Chief, is there really no way out?"

The middle-aged strong man asked again unwillingly, but the village chief still shook his head and sighed.

"No... If there was, we would have left long ago and would not have waited for you~"

"Well, I won't say any more. There is food here. You can cook it if you are hungry. I will go back to work first. You can call me if you need anything."

"it is good…"

After saying goodbye to the village chief, everyone returned to their original thatched hut.

They set up a relatively clean iron pot and cooked mushrooms in it, then sat around the fire.

At this time, there was another cry of grief.

Of course there are also optimistic people.

For example, the middle-aged strong man.

"Hey, don't be so depressed. It's not like you're going to die just because you can't get out. Besides, we still have food to eat."

As he spoke, he stirred the strange mushrooms at the bottom of the pot, then looked around and said:

"It was too dark yesterday, and I was so busy entering the village that I didn't have time to introduce myself. My name is Tieniu, and my family makes ramen~"

"Because I make ramen quickly and well, a passing immortal gave me a token of immortality. I thought making ramen had no future, so I followed him. What about you guys?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the others, and they all had different and strange expressions on their faces, but no one spoke first and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"My name is Wu Da. I have no money or property. I am just a wanderer. The Immortal Order belongs to my good friend. I am here to see him..."

The martial artist was the first to speak. His introduction served as a start and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"My name is Zhang Hao..."

"My name is Lu Shuang..."

"My name is Ding Yuan..."

When it was Li Qiao'er's turn, she spoke naturally: "My name is Qiao Yu, her name is Ling'er, and we came here together."

Qin Xiangling blinked but just smiled and said nothing more.

After Li Qiaoer finished speaking, everyone's attention was focused on the last little girl wearing a hood.

Tie Niu spoke with interest.

"Hey~ What's wrong with this little girl? Why is she out here making a living?"

Shen Ming blinked her clear eyes.

"As for me, I was thrown here by my family~"

"What?! Your family is so cruel? You were thrown into such a dangerous place before you even reached adulthood? What kind of vicious heart do they have?!"

"How miserable... I thought I was miserable enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more miserable..."

"Don't be afraid, little sister. We are here!"

For a moment, Zhang Hao and several other candidates spoke up for her.

But a few people like Wu Da and Tie Niu watched silently.

After Zhang Hao finished his moral condemnation, he asked her again.

"What's your name, sister?"

Shen Ming has curved eyes. Even though her face is ordinary, her eyes are particularly charming when she smiles.

"My name is Jiangzi~"

.........

Puff!!! Cough cough!!

Somewhere in an unknown corner of the world, a young man was sitting on a recliner, coughing so hard that tears and snot bubbles were about to come out.

The tea leaves sprayed all over Chi Xiaowen's face...

Chi Xiaowen: ………

"Traitor! Are you committing treason?"

"No! I'm just not used to drinking tea. Also, I just got off track in my Qigong. It was not intentional!"

.........

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, they each got a small bowl of stewed mushrooms.

Zhang Hao ate voraciously, saying it was delicious, but suddenly stood up and said he had to go to the bathroom.

As for the others, they didn't care about how delicious the food was. After all, they had been hungry for the whole day. At this moment, they would even eat a pile of fragrant shit, so they wouldn't care whether it was poisonous or not.

The same thing happened to Tie Niu and Wu Da, except that they only ate a little and then restrained themselves.

Li Qiaoer and Qin Xiangling looked at each other, and poured out all the mushrooms while no one else was paying attention.

On the other hand, Shen Ming drank the soup in small sips, as if she was reluctant to eat the mushrooms first, which made her look very well-behaved.
