The two parties agreed that if they did not see their car return by 4 o'clock, they would return to the hotel on their own.
Yang Xiao, Qingshui Cangjie, and Heize Lin set off on their journey again. Without a clear route, they asked as they traveled, combining the road signs along the way. The path became more and more off the beaten track until they drove onto a mountain road. After a bumpy ride along the way, they finally reached a small village nestled at the foot of the mountain by noon.
Looking around, the village is not very small, there are at least a hundred houses, but most are abandoned. At a glance, the village looks dead and lifeless.
But Yang Xiao knew there must be people in the village because he had paid special attention on the way here and noticed tire marks left on some muddy road sections.
