Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395: 393, Arrived in the village! Poor village!

"Is that a Cloud Leopard?"

Bai Lu was also stunned for a moment.

But as soon as Luofeng’s car stopped, the rare dots slipped into the forest; it was obvious that, even as large predators, they were still afraid of humans.

The fear imprinted in their genes is unchangeable.

After all, the ancestors of humans had conquered them.

In the food chain, during ancient times, these predators were the prey of humans.

"I suddenly feel that you were quite brave as a child!"

Luofeng sighed with emotion.

He also dismissed the idea of bringing Duanmu Yunji or Little Fairy here, to this uninhabited wilderness, to perform the ’hands on the hood’ maneuver.

After all, if a Leopard were to suddenly burst out? It would be too late...

COUGH. COUGH. COUGH.

Anyway, they’d probably have to make a run for it.

To think that even now, there were still leopards in the mountains. What else could have been here in the past? Were there tigers?

Bai Lu said sheepishly, "I’ve encountered a Cloud Leopard before, and it even made me cry. But it’s very timid. If it encounters people, it won’t dare approach if you shout loudly. That’s what my mother taught me when I was a child."

Luofeng couldn’t help but admire her.

How big-hearted must parents be? But then again, under such conditions, what else could they do? It was fortunate it was a Cloud Leopard. If it had been a tiger, would shouting loudly really scare it away?

"There used to be tigers in the mountains too, but only the older generation has seen them. I’ve never seen one. Oh, and there are black bears now, and of course, wild boars," Bai Lu said.

The two of them chatted as they continued.

Another half an hour went by.

When they rounded a hill, the view suddenly opened up before them.

Scattered houses were enveloped in clouds. Luofeng could only think, Are these people living in the heavens? Living here for long, the dampness would surely cause rheumatism, wouldn’t it?

According to Bai Lu, there were fewer than a hundred households in Bai Family Village, with a total of about 400 people. Their main sources of income were agricultural products and mountain produce.

These mountain people were an existence forgotten by the bustling world.

Their monthly income was just around 1,000 yuan.

Beyond the unstable electricity supply, there was no natural gas, nor any running water here.

Of course, if spring water channeled through pipes could be called tap water, then sometimes during heavy rainfall, their tap water would be yellow. Muddy and turbid.

This place seemed completely disconnected from the outside world.

The internet? Don’t be ridiculous. In such a place, they would be fortunate to have a 2G network.

In many of the wilderness areas Luofeng had passed through, there was no signal at all.

Watch short videos on a network like this? Impossible.

The lack of infrastructure made accessing the internet very difficult.

Some of the older mountain dwellers hadn’t even used a smartphone before. It wasn’t because they couldn’t afford one—smartphones were available for a few hundred yuan, or second-hand from shops—but due to their low education, they simply didn’t know how to use them.

When Luofeng arrived at Bai Family Village, some of the older villagers had already gathered on the slope to watch. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The Toyota Land Cruiser broke the tranquility of the mountain village.

For the vast majority of villagers, seeing such a car was rare, so they had all been waiting at the entrance of the village since spotting the vehicle from a distance.

"Yes, that’s right. How are your studies going?" Bai Lu replied with a question.

"I’m working hard. I want to go to university just like Sister Bai Lu!"

Luofeng remained silent. In the bustling world, it seems like anyone can go to university, right? But in their hearts, it was a very sacred thing.

Of course, they also knew that one could go to university even with low scores, but their parents said such colleges had expensive tuition and wouldn’t send them there. So, everyone understood that only for undergraduate programs or higher might the tuition be a bit lower.

"Why aren’t you eating?" Luofeng noticed that most children had started eating, but the brave boy was just holding his candy.

"He has two younger sisters!" Bai Lu hinted.

Luofeng smiled and took out two more. "Here, take these. Now you can try one yourself!"

The boy did not reach for the lollipops; instead, he looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu nodded. "Remember to say thank you!"

"Thank you, big brother!" the boy said as he took the candy and expressed his gratitude.

But at that moment, a worn voice called out.

"Bai Lu!"

Luofeng turned to look.

It was a woman with a sallow complexion and a frail figure, who appeared to be around fifty years old.

From her face, one could vaguely make out that this was Bai Yue’s mother.

"Mom!"

Bai Lu quickly walked over and embraced her tightly.
