Chapter 153: Fooling around

Ji Yanxin followed the address told by the pillar, went around and found the inconspicuous small mountain village, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was blocked by a group of villagers outside the village. Everyone stared at him with fierce eyes, as if he was defending against the invasion of the outside world.

Ji Yanxin looked around vigilantly, thinking: Why are the people here full of hostility, is it possible, what is happening here?

"Who are you, what are you doing in the village?" An old man with gray hair and beard had sharp eyes, staring at Ji Yanxin deadly, and the others were holding sticks in their hands, protecting him.

Ji Yanxin bowed his hand: "Old man, I'm not here to stir up trouble, I'm here to find someone!"

"Who are you looking for? How do you know that he is in our village?" the old man looked Ji Yanxin up and down, his eyes full of distrust.

"I'm looking for Yang Zhijian, if I'm not mistaken, he's in this village! Please raise your noble hands and let me see him!" As soon as Ji Yanxin's words came out, everyone looked at each other, and immediately turned their heads to each other.

"Yang Zhijian, the people from outside the mountain are really unreliable, after so many years, there are still people looking for them!"

"Is this man friend or foe with him?"

"I said a long time ago that the kid from the pillar sneaked out of the mountains, and it will definitely bring disaster to the village......"

"It's only been a few years since Ansheng, and it looks like it's not peaceful again!"

“……”

Everyone was gossiping, and although the voice was small, Ji Yanxin still listened to it all. He was suspicious in his heart, and thought to himself: It seems that the people in this place are suspicious of the departure of the pillar, but fortunately I didn't say the name of the pillar, otherwise, it would have been even more difficult to enter the village!

"Don't make any noise!" the old man shouted angrily, and for a moment he was silent, and he continued to count: "Chirp, like a flock of black crows, the noise makes people upset!"

Ji Yanxin smiled and looked sincere: "Old man, I'm not a bad person, I'm a friend of Yang Zhijian, I finally found out his whereabouts and made a special trip to visit him!"

"Friend, Yang Zhijian has never been out of the village since he came to this village, where did you find out the news?" the old man was aggressive, forcing Ji Yanxin to look.

Ji Yanxin's mind turned around, and he thought: This place is closed, people must believe in ghosts and gods, why don't I make it up, not only can I put aside their suspicions about the pillar, but also enter the village to see Yang Zhijian smoothly!

Ji Yanxin took a step forward, and everyone couldn't help but take a step back as a whole, his face was full of mystery, and he said in a low voice: "Old man, don't hide it, I got the guidance of a master to get here!"

"Oh, is that really the case?" the old man's body trembled, his eyes were full of doubts, Ji Yanxin continued: "For more than ten years, I have been looking for Yang Zhijian's whereabouts, walked all over the mountains and rivers, and died without a problem;

"This ......" The old man was skeptical, Ji Yanxin continued: "Old man, if you don't believe it, let me into the village, I will definitely not run around the village and go straight to Yang Zhijian's home!"

Ji Yanxin said so mysteriously that everyone was extremely surprised, the old man frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Let go!"

"Thank you, old man, thank you, folks!" Ji Yanxin hurriedly thanked him, the old man had a gloomy face, and warned in a low voice: "If you dare to play tricks, you will definitely be able to get in, and you won't be able to get out!

"Don't worry, I won't mess around!" Everyone made a gap, Ji Yanxin walked straight into the village, walked straight forward, and thought as he walked: Yang Zhijian, I came all the way to find you, you kid can't move the nest, if you move the nest, Lao Tzu will be in prison!

Ji Yanxin walked in front, and the old man led the villagers and followed behind unhurriedly. Ji Yanxin didn't seem to squint, looking straight ahead, but he used his spare eyes to observe the terrain in the village, so that he could escape in case of an accident.

What makes Ji Yanxin worried in his heart is that the road he walks at this time is the only way out of the mountain, once an accident occurs, he will either go forward in one go, or return the same way, if the villagers seal the two ends, he will be blocked in the middle, and he will not be able to advance or retreat.

Looking at the endless mountains, Ji Yanxin felt a faint pain in his heart, Zhu Zi and Juan'er had actually lived in this poor and remote place for so long, and the sins and hardships they suffered could be imagined. All this is thanks to Him!

The low, dilapidated houses flashed in front of him, the further he went, the more barren he became, Ji Yanxin's footsteps did not stop, and after a while, a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but get nervous, thinking: It should be here, but I don't know, whether Yang Zhijian is inside!

The courtyard door was closed, and there was a child's giggling laughter in the courtyard, Ji Yanxin was excited in his heart, there were voices in the courtyard, proving that there were people living in it, but I don't know if it was Yang Zhijian?

Boom...... Knock Knock......

Ji Yanxin knocked on the courtyard door, and the laughter in the courtyard stopped abruptly, followed by a man's voice: "Lang Ying, open the door and see who is coming!"

With a creak, a crack opened in the courtyard door, and a baby face full of curiosity was revealed, tilting his head and staring at Ji Yanxin with big eyes: "Who are you?"

"Is Yang Zhijian at home?" Ji Yanxin's mind flashed through the pillar's narration, and he thought: This should be the baby who has eaten wolf milk-Lang Ying! This girl is so smart!

In an instant, Ji Yanxin's heart had an indescribable feeling, and he actually felt that the little girl in front of him was born to Yang Zhijian and Juan'er; even if the pillar told him the truth, but, at this moment, he still inevitably doubted the truth of what the pillar said.

Lang Ying held the door with both hands, turned his little head, and shouted into the yard: "Dad, looking for you!"

"Who?" Yang Zhijian dropped the work in his hand, patted the dust on his hands, and walked towards the door, Lang Ying said, "I don't know!"

"Lang Ying, let's play!" Yang Zhijian opened Lang Ying, opened the door, and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out: "You...... How are you?"

"I'm coming to see you!Don't you invite me in to sit?" Hearing Ji Yanxin's words, Yang Zhijian came back to his senses, looked at the crowd behind Ji Yanxin, and stepped out of the door involuntarily: "Uncle Nine, this is ...... He's my friend, what are you?"

Uncle Nine raised his hand and waved: "Lead it into the house, I and everyone are just following to take a look! Since you are your friend, you know the rules, so I don't need to say more!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I understand, I won't break the rules!" Even though Ji Yanxin heard the pillar say that Yang Zhijian suddenly could speak, listening to his fluent language, it was still incredible, and in his memory, Yang Zhijian, who was talking in sign language, was still shaking.

"Go back!" Uncle Nine waved his hand, and everyone immediately turned around and walked back, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Yanxin, and also turned around, walking away step by step, Ji Yanxin looked at his back, knowing that this person who was called 'Uncle Jiu' was a highly respected figure in the village.

"Big brother, go in and sit!" Yang Zhijian's face was worried, Ji Yanxin retracted his gaze, looked at him and smiled lightly, stepped into the door, Yang Zhijian reflexively closed the door and went to the latch.

Lang Ying stood in the middle of the courtyard, blinking with big eyes, staring at Ji Yanxin, Ji Yanxin looked at her with a smile, and called, "Lang Ying, come here!"

Lang Ying hesitated for a moment, and slowly walked towards Ji Yanxin, Yang Zhijian's heart trembled, and he took a step in front of Ji Yanxin, looking at him guiltily: "Big brother...... I—I'm sorry for you! Lang Ying, she's just a baby!"

Ji Yanxin smiled all over his face: "Don't worry, I'm not here to seek revenge from you, I like Lang Ying's girl! It's a pity that such a clever and cute baby grows up in this mountain!"

"Big brother, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't have ...... it at the beginning" Yang Zhijian looked confused, the past was vivid, and scene by scene flipped in his mind and shook in front of his eyes.

"I got together with Zhuzi and learned your whereabouts, brother, thank you for taking care of him for so many years!" Hearing Ji Yanxin's words, Yang Zhijian's eyes moistened, and he choked up: "Zhuzi, is he okay?"

"Daddy...... I want Brother Zhuzi, I want Brother Zhuzi!" "Lang Ying is talented and intelligent, as soon as he heard the name of the pillar, he grabbed Yang Zhijian's arm and made a fuss, Yang Zhijian stared down at her, and said seriously: "Lang Ying, don't make trouble, call uncle, he is your pillar brother's father!"

"Uncle!" Lang Ying looked at Ji Yanxin with a raised face, shouted obediently, and then asked, "Brother Zhuzi, why didn't you bring him with you to see me?"

Ji Yanxin leaned down and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Lang Ying's face, Lang Ying dodged to the side and looked at him in surprise, Yang Zhijian hurriedly explained: "Big brother, don't blame, Lang Ying, this little girl, refuses to let people touch her when she is young!"

Ji Yanxin nodded, stood up straight, and said, "Lang Ying, I'll take you and your father to see Brother Zhuzi when I turn around, okay?"

"Really, great, great!" Lang Ying danced happily, Yang Zhijian patted her little head, and said lovingly: "Lang Ying, while playing, I'll talk to my uncle for a while!"

"Hey!" Lang Ying responded, ran to the side, and played by himself, Yang Zhijian beckoned Ji Yanxin to enter the house and sit down, and said embarrassedly: "The conditions in the mountains are poor, snub big brother!"

Ji Yanxin raised his eyes and looked at Yang Zhijian: "Since you are still willing to call me big brother, then take Lang Ying and follow me back to the city!"

"Big brother...... This ......" Yang Zhijian was speechless, at the beginning, he took Juan'er and the pillar away, but he didn't take care of it, and now, Juan'er's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are uncertain, how can he have the face to go back with Ji Yanxin.

Ji Yanxin knew Yang Zhijian's concerns, sighed, and said: "I don't blame you, you don't have a burden in your heart! I think Juan'er has a spirit in the sky, and I also want to see you live well!"

"Juan'er, she ......" Yang Zhijian's tears burst out of his eyes, he didn't understand at all, why did Ji Yanxin say this, for many years, he often went into the mountains to find Juan'er's whereabouts, but to no avail, how could Ji Yanxin conclude that she was no longer alive?

"Juan'er is indeed dead, in this mountain, in my arms...... It's been a few years......" Ji Yanxin's face was solemn, this was the last thing he wanted to think of or mention, every time he thought about it, it was like cutting the flesh on his body with a sharp knife.

"Big brother, what the hell is going on, why did Juan'er die? How did you meet her in this mountain?" Yang Zhijian asked eagerly, his hatred for Brother Nizi's departure regained his heart, and he hated to rush into the mountain and break his body into pieces.

"It's all over, don't think about it, maybe, this is Juan'er's life, in just a few decades, she has suffered so much hardship and suffered so many crimes, perhaps, death is a real relief for her! In the final analysis, the real culprit is me, if Juan'er has nothing to do with me, she will definitely be able to live peacefully and live a good life...... Juan'er blames me for everything she has experienced!" Ji Yanxin's comforting words made Yang Zhijian more and more embarrassed, he cried bitterly and called Juan'er's name, Lang Ying heard the voice, ran over and stood at the door, looking at the house in fear.
