Chapter 43: Old Friends?
The closer he got to Laowa Village, the more excited Ah Hei became. Along the way, Ah Hei was telling Ma Fan about his hometown. He is a group of people with a more active mind in his hometown, he came out to work in his teens, and later earned some money, took out a loan to buy a small car and started to run transportation. Ah Hei, who is in his thirties, got married early, got married at the age of eighteen, and now his son is fourteen years old, studying in junior high school in Changning County, and his parents and wife are also farming in his hometown. In recent years, the national policy has been good, and his hometown has realized the road connecting every village, and he also drives back to his hometown from time to time to visit his family.
"That... Ah Hei hesitated, "Brother Ma, it's noon now, I see you haven't had lunch yet, I haven't eaten either, if you don't dislike it, I'll ask my cousin to get a few dishes, and I'll have a meal at my house!" Ah Hei proposed. This brother looks like a talent, his appearance is extraordinary, and he looks like a big city, I don't know if he will dislike the farmer's diet.
Ma Fan's heart couldn't help but warm. Although this Ah Hei looks thin and dark, he is very simple and straightforward, and Ma Fan admires it very much.
"Okay, just go home and see your parents and wife!" Ma Fan agreed, looking at the smiling Ah Hei, but he had an idea in his heart, and he would definitely not let the honest man suffer at that time.
Ah Hei was overjoyed, and immediately picked up the phone and called his wife back, asking the cousin to get a few dishes, saying that there would be a distinguished guest at home immediately.
The mountain road was winding, but the cement road was smooth, and two hours later, the car stopped in a rural courtyard dam.
Ah Hei got out of the car and greeted Ma Fan enthusiastically.
Hei's family had already come out, Hei's parents were thin, gray-haired, and bent, and his wife was in her thirties, dressed plainly, looking at Ma Fan with an enthusiastic face, and then her eyes fell on Hei. Several people stood in the courtyard in restraint, smiling innocently.
"Brother Ma, this is my parents, this is my cousin... Hei introduced to Ma Fan.
"Yo, such a handsome offspring, I'm afraid he just came out of the TV!" "Ah Hei's father is the head of the family after all, and he talks a little more and is a little bolder.
Ma Fan smiled and nodded at a few people: "Uncle, aunt, sister-in-law, I'm bothering you!"
"Where, where, a distinguished guest like you is willing to come to us, it is a great joy for our family!" Ah Hei's father stretched out his hand to Ma Fan, and quickly retracted it.
Ma Fan smiled and took the initiative to stretch out his hands to Abo: "Abo, I'm here to play for a while, and I'm going to rush back to Changning County today." As he spoke, he reached out and shook the old man's hands.
There was a hint of emotion in the old man's eyes. The world is hot and cold, he has also gone out of the mountains to work for others, and has tasted the ups and downs of the world, and even his identity is the object of contempt in the eyes of many big city people. Now seeing that Ma Fan didn't have the slightest dislike, he couldn't help but look at this young posterior a little higher.
"Little brother, you wait a while, you can start the meal soon!" said the old man to Ma Fan.
The family warmly welcomed Ma Fan into the house, and then went to the kitchen to get busy, leaving Ah Hei to accompany Ma Fan.
Ma Fan stood in front of a picture frame in the hall and looked at the family portrait on it.
In addition to the few people he saw just now, Ma Fan also saw a thin boy, grinning, standing in the middle of the front. Although the little boy is thin and dark, his eyes are full of cleverness. This kid must be Ahei's son.
After a while, the family brought a few dishes and beckoned Ma Fan to sit down.
Farmhouse bacon, stewed local chicken, plus a few side dishes, it has a unique flavor. The simplest ingredient makes a different taste. Ma Fan was eating and playing with the family, and Ah Hei and the others quickly relaxed, feeling that this young man was not only handsome, but also very modest, without a shelf at all, and did not dislike the farmer's earthen pot and earthen stove.
After eating, Ma Fan asked Ah Hei to take him and go in the direction of Black Dragon Pond.
The two of them left Ahei's house, walked about five or six miles into the jungle, and descended the mountain to a deep pool. The Black Dragon Pond is not large, with an area of only about ten acres. Different from ordinary lakes or reservoirs, the water of Black Dragon Pond is a dark black, and the calm water emits a chilly air outward. Standing on the edge of the pool, Ma Fan unfolded his divine sense and found that except for the deep water in the pool, he found nothing.
"This is it, how about it, this Black Dragon Pond is a little different!" Ah Hei cautiously took a few steps closer to the edge of the pool, turned his head and asked Ma Fan.
"Yes, this pool is very deep, and it is surrounded by cliffs, so it looks like the water is very dark. Marfan replied.
Ah Hei looked around for a while, nodded, and said to Ma Fan with certainty: "Brother Ma, that voice should have come from here a few days ago, I am too familiar with this piece!
Ma Fan's divine consciousness has been extending towards the bottom of the pool, and the current limit of his divine consciousness extension is about 200 meters, but under the extension of his divine consciousness, he still has not been able to perceive the bottom of the pool. It seems that this Black Dragon Pond is indeed too deep.
Will it be found at the bottom of the pool?
Marfan decided to go into the water to find out. He began to strip his pants.
"Brother Ma, you don't want to go into the water, do you?" Seeing that Ma Fan was about to take off his clothes and go into the water, Ah Hei hurriedly stopped. The strangeness and danger of the Black Dragon Pond had been heard of since he was a child.
When Ma Fan had just used his divine sense to perceive the Black Dragon Pool, he found that the water in the pool was relatively calm and did not notice any danger, so he decided to go into the water.
"It's okay, Hei, I'll be back soon. After Ma Fan finished speaking, without waiting for Ah Hei to react, he jumped into the water with a plop. Ah Hei was in a hurry on the shore, and the six gods were ownerless: "Oh my God, if something happens to Brother Ma, how can I be worthy of the people in his family!
Ma Fan quickly dived towards the bottom of the pool. Under the perception of the divine sense, Trouble knows everything around him well under the water. Except for some small fish and shrimp, I didn't see anything else.
When Ma Fan dived to a hundred meters, he still did not perceive the position of the bottom of the pool. You must know that when ordinary people dive with bare hands and do not rely on equipment, the limit depth of diving is about 100 meters. Ma Fan dived quickly to a depth of 100 meters, which has long reached the limit of ordinary people. But Ma Fan is no ordinary person. At this time, there was a faint silver light around his body, and his lungs had already stopped breathing, and now they were maintained by aura.
Ma Fan continued to dive towards the bottom of the pool. Finally, after continuing to dive for 50 meters, Ma Fan sensed the bottom of the pool.
At the bottom of the uneven pool, a huge pit emerges. Ma Fan sensed a familiar feeling from the deep pit.
“。。。 Is this Xiao Yuan?" Ma Fan couldn't help but be overjoyed. Xiao Yuan is Ma Fan's storage ring in Haotian Continent, and Ma Fan named it the Mixed Yuan Ring. In the thousands of years that accompanied Ma Fan's cultivation, the Mixed Yuan Ring gradually gave birth to spiritual wisdom, and Ma Fan called it Xiao Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, can you sense me?" Ma Fan tried to communicate with Xiao Yuan.
A faint divine thought came from the deep pit: "Master, it's great to finally see you again! I don't know what place this is, it doesn't seem to be Haotian Continent, what happened?"
"This is the Earth, not the Haotian Continent. How did you get here?" asked Marfan.
"After your accident, the Haotian Continent was in chaos, and several ladies, together with several wise men of the alliance and a few powerful powers, detected the direction and coordinates of your divine consciousness through the space detector, and then sent me in together. Xiao Yuan replied.
Yes, Ma Fan also knew that although the scientific and technological level of the Haotian Continent far exceeded that of the earth, it could not reach the level of sending people to other spaces in the universe in a short period of time. It must have been a few ladies who asked the alliance to send Xiao Yuan over.
"Master, I was badly damaged during the space teleportation process, and I can't get back to you on my own. Xiao Yuan said.
"Then you are there, and I will come down. ”
Ma Fan continued to dive down while communicating with Xiao Yuan with his divine sense.
However, when Ma Fan dived to a depth of 300 meters, he still couldn't perceive the specific location of the Mixed Yuan Ring, and could only perceive its divine sense. At this time, Ma Fan only felt that his body had reached the limit of the water pressure and could not continue to dive. It seems that after all, the current body cultivation is too low.
With a long sigh in his heart, Ma Fan informed Xiao Yuan of the current situation. "Xiao Yuan, my recovery speed should be fast, you wait for me, I will be back soon!"
"Okay master, I'm waiting for you here!" Although Xiao Yuan was excited and disappointed, he had already made contact with the master again, and he was very satisfied.
Ma Fan had a plan in his heart, so he turned around and headed towards the water.
Soon, Ma Fan was out of the water.
On the shore, Hei was staring nervously at the water, with a crying look on his face. He saw that Ma Fan had been in the water for more than ten minutes and had not come out, thinking that Ma Fan had already drowned, and he had the heart to go into the water to save people, but he was tormented by the fear in his heart, so he was in a hurry on the shore. Who knew that when he suddenly saw Ma Fan emerging from the water again, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the change of expression on his face was particularly funny.
"Brother Ma, hahaha, it turns out that you are not dead, great, hahahaha... Hurry up, hurry up!" Ahei wept with joy and jumped and jumped on the shore.
Ma Fan quickly swam to the edge of the pool and went ashore.
Ah Hei hugged Ma Fan's clothes and pants and looked at Ma Fan in front of him with a blank eye.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Ma, you're all right! Hahaha! How the hell did you do that? I saw that you had been in the water for more than ten minutes, and I thought you were drowning!" Ah Hei asked with a puzzled face while watching Ma Fan put on his clothes.
While getting dressed, Ma Fan casually made up a reason: "Oh, I swam over there and came back later." Ma Fan casually pointed to a corner on the left, where there was a dead end, and it could not be seen from this side.
Ah Hei didn't doubt anything else, seeing that Ma Fan had finished getting dressed, he stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Ma Fan's clothes tightly, but saw that Ma Fan's face was as usual, as if he was not affected by the low-temperature pool water at all. Ah Hei couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Ma, you are indeed not an ordinary person! This pool of water is so cold that ordinary people don't even dare to go down to the water, you actually stayed in the water for more than ten minutes, awesome!"
Ma Fan didn't explain, only said that he had been practicing winter swimming since he was a child, so he was able to withstand the low temperature of this Black Dragon Pond.
"How is it, did you find anything in the water?" After being shocked and curious, Ah Hei finally remembered the purpose of coming to Black Dragon Pond today.
"I didn't find anything in the water, this Black Dragon Pool is too deep. Ma Fan didn't hide it.
A look of disappointment flashed in Ah Hei's eyes, but he quickly laughed again: "Brother, as long as you're okay." You don't know, I was scared just now, I'm afraid you have three long and two short!"
Ma Fan looked at this mountain man and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"Let's go, go back. Ma Fan looked back at the Black Dragon Pond and walked towards the way he came.
When I returned to Ah Hei's house, I saw that several people in Ah Hei's family were sitting in the courtyard dam, looking in the direction of Black Dragon Pond.
Ma Fan looked at these simple mountain people, took out five hundred yuan from his pocket, and prepared to give them to them. How do you know that a few people are sincerely afraid, desperately refusing to accept it no matter what. Ma Fan thought about it, changed his attention, put the money away, and said to a few people: "Okay, I won't give you money." But I owe you a favor, if you have any difficulties or need help in the future, call me, Ah Hei has my phone. After saying goodbye, Ma Fan did not stop any longer, and after saying goodbye to Ah Hei and his family, he began to rush back to Changning County.
