Chihe Village, a remote village with a history of only 200 years, is much smaller than Qianfeng Town, with only 300 households, most of whom make a living from farming, and can be said to be a place away from the hustle and bustle.

Most of the small villages are bungalows, and there are only a few houses with fenced courtyard walls, and there are only a few brick houses. It was noon, and the smoke rose from the village, and the picture was quiet and peaceful.

When Jiang Ling and a few people approached the village with the convoy, they saw more than a dozen people guarding the village, including adults and children. They were all overjoyed when they saw the safe return of the convoy, and it seemed that they had all come to welcome the convoy back.

"Village Chief~" Some children had already run over quickly, quickly gathered around the village chief, and shouted: "Do you bring sugar!" ”

"Yes, yes." The village chief smiled and took a small bag of jelly beans and handed it to the children, causing a burst of cheers.

The adults also gathered, some helped carry the goods, and some greeted the village chief, but everyone invariably looked at Jiang Ling's three strangers with different clothes.

The village chief explained: "These are my benefactors, and I need to go into the village to eat something and take a rest. The village chief briefly recounted what had happened on the road.

Everyone first cared about the village chief's body, and then thanked Jiang Ling and the others one after another.

The village chief said to his daughter: "Cang Yuejiu, go back with the little eagle first, ask your mother to clean up the house, prepare a few more dishes, and I will take the benefactor back for dinner in a while." The woman got out of the car with the child in her arms.

A middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Kitty hasn't been back for half a year, right?" It seems that she has grown taller again, and Jiu'er is still so beautiful. ”

Cang Yuejiu greeted with a smile, and then went back first with the child in her arms.

Everyone also returned to the village with the goods, and Jiang Ling also took a hand and followed the village with a package.

At the entrance of the village, Jiang Ling saw the stele mentioned by the village chief. There is a poem written on the stele, "The fire phoenix Guanghua descends to the gods, leaving the pure land Chihe Village in vain".

"This is the inscription that remembers that the man of God saved the village, written by an old gentleman who has taken the exam before." The village chief introduced it.

Jiang Ling nodded, looking at the tablet, it was just ordinary, and there was no way. Then he said: "Village chief, you don't have to be too polite, just eat some food." ”

"How's that going to work?" The village chief said, "Besides, there are no good things in the village, so it's good if you don't dislike it." ”

"No, it won't." Jiang Ling thought for a while, glanced at Leia, made eye contact with her, and then said, "We are not hungry and can't eat anything, but we want to meet the president of the triad." ”

"Oh?" The village chief asked suspiciously, "Why do you have to see him?" ”

Jiang Ling had already thought of his words and said, "After all, we are cultivators, since we have entered the village, it is better to say hello to the local gang." Besides, you also know that we are from other places, and we are not familiar with the two cities of Fang Yuan and Puyue, so finding some cultivators to find some information will always be helpful for the darts in the future, especially about the Black Sheep Mountain bandits, we all want to ask the people of the Triad. ”

"This..."The village chief thought for a moment and said in embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to help a few adults, it's just that the current triad may not even be able to move me." ”

"Naturally, you don't have to force it, it's best to see each other, and it doesn't hurt if you can't see it." Jiang Ling could only speak like this.

The three of them followed the village chief into the village, where there was a wide dirt road in the middle of the village, flanked by houses, and the sound of roosters and dogs barking from time to time.

In a few moments, they came to a house not far from the village, which was surrounded by a simple fence, and a large part of the yard was their own vegetable field, in which some vegetables and fruits were grown. There was also a chicken coop in the corner of the yard where seven or eight chickens were hanging out. There was also a yellow dog leashed in another corner, and when he saw an outsider coming, he immediately stood up and began to bark. On the north side of the vegetable field is a house made of stone billets, and the area is not very large, which is the village chief's house. Although it is not shabby, it is similar to other villagers, which is enough to see that this village chief is indeed a simple and kind person.

The little boy who arrived home one step earlier, Kitty Hawk, trotted two steps, came to the yellow dog, patted the yellow dog gently, and said in a milky voice: "Huang Huang don't bark, yes... It's a guest. ”

Hearing that the big yellow dog really didn't bite, he wagged his tail flatteringly, turned his head and rubbed it against the eaglet, and the eaglet giggled.

The village chief looked at him lovingly and said, "Little Eagle, don't play with it, we'll eat in a while, go wash your hands." ”

"Hey." Xiaoying responded obediently, then glanced at Leia wryly, waved her hand, and said, "Sister, let's go wash our hands." ”

"Okay." Léa walked over and took Kitty by the hand and walked into the house with him.

Jiang Ling said: "Village chief, don't bother, we really won't stay to eat, just drink saliva and leave." ”

"You look like you're here, and the meal is ready." The village hurriedly saluted.

Jiang Ling shook his head and said, "We've eaten, so we have to hurry up." ”

Seeing that Jiang Ling was so persistent, the village chief was not reluctant, nodded and said, "Then you sit down first, and I'll go talk to Mu'an." ”

Saying that, the village chief turned around and left, Jiang Ling was anxious to inquire about the triad, so he didn't say anything. Jiang Ling didn't rush into the house and looked around. Then Hull said, "Do you need me to go around the village?" ”

Jiang Ling nodded and said, "Don't go too far, just take a look around." ”

Hull turned and walked out of the courtyard, while Jiang Ling sat on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, with a grape trellis on it, and there were already some green grapes on it.

Kitty Hawk ran out again and approached Jiang Ling a little shyly. Jiang Ling looked at him with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Little friend, what's the matter with you?" ”

Xiaoying got a little closer and said, "I heard my sister say, you put the spell at that time?" ”

"It's psychics." Jiang Ling smiled.

Kitty's immature eyes shimmered and said, "Can you show me another one?" ”

Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to urge spiritual power, and a small blue flower broke through the ground and appeared at the feet of the little eagle.

The little eagle jumped to her feet in surprise and joy, then squatted down to stare at the little flower, and grinned, "Uncle, you are so amazing." ”

"Maybe you can do it later." Jiang Ling then muttered, "Why do you call Leia my sister, but call me uncle?" ”

Xiaoying ignored the resentful question behind Jiang Ling, just looked at Jiang Ling with a hopeful face, and asked carefully, "Can I become so strong as you?" ”

"Possibly." Jiang Ling encouraged: "Maybe our eaglet is very talented, and it will be stronger than me in the future." ”

Xiaoying pursed his lips and smiled: "Great, I also want to become as strong as my uncle!" ”

Jiang Ling waved his hand away from the little flower, looked at the little boy and asked, "What are you doing when you become so strong?" ”

"Protect my mom!" Xiaoying pinched his waist with both hands, like an adult, and said with firmness in his immaturity: "And my grandfather, no one will dare to bully them in the future!" ”

Jiang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart that the child's nature was pure, and today's events also left a deep impression on the little boy whose memory was still a little unclear, but fortunately, this impression was not his shadow, but planted a seed in his heart that he wanted to become stronger. Jiang Ling touched his head and said softly: "Then the little eagle should listen to his mother's words, eat more, and be diligent in the future, study and study, grow up quickly, become a man who stands up to the sky, and protect his relatives." ”

"Hmm." Kitty nodded her head vigorously.

Lea leaned against the door, quietly looking at the man and boy under the vines, and couldn't help but provoke a smile on the corner of her mouth, the kind of smile that was rare for her, unconsciously, and heartfelt smile.

After a while, Hull walked back, just shook his head at Jiang Ling, indicating that he had not found anything. Then, after another two minutes, the village chief walked back, followed by a young man who seemed to be a little sleepy-eyed and had a reluctant expression.

The village chief looked at Jiang Ling and said, "This is the president of our triad, Mu An. ”

Jiang Ling first said to the village chief: "I'm sorry to trouble your old man." Then he looked at the young man.

Mu An looks older than Jiang Ling, he should be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his hair is a little long, and he doesn't have any shape in a mess, this person's appearance is okay, but because of his sloppy appearance, he can't make people feel good-looking. His whole person feels lazy, conceited, and vulgar, but when Jiang Ling saw this person's eyes, he suddenly felt that this person was not as simple as it seemed.

These eyes are like stars covered with a thin cloud, and there is a sharpness and gloom hidden in the depths, which is very different from their appearance.

Seeing that the other party also looked at him, Jiang Ling's expression was as usual, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, we are..."

"I know." Mu An directly interrupted Jiang Ling's words, and he didn't have the slightest intention of shaking hands, and said very impolitely: "You are the dart master you met on the road, and you want to ask me about this village and Black Sheep Mountain." ”

Jiang Ling withdrew his hand and said indifferently: "That's true." ”

Mu An chuckled, shook his head and said, "Let's leave after drinking water and eating, I have nothing to tell you." ”

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, he didn't know why this wooden shore came up with a cold attitude, or was this person really as idle and rude as he had heard before?

The village chief was suddenly anxious on the side, and wanted to persuade Mu An, but Mu An looked at Jiang Ling and continued to speak: "I have nothing to comment on the information of the village, as for the mountain bandits in Heiyang Mountain, I do know some, but there is no need to tell you." ”

Jiang Ling asked, "Why?" ”

Mu An raised his eyebrows and said, "Because the Black Sheep Village is about to disappear." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ling was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't show too much surprise on the surface, but just asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Mu An just said lightly, "Soon you will know." ”

Jiang Ling asked tentatively along the way: "It looks like the bandit team is coming." ”

"Heh, that's pretty smart." Mu An waved his hand and said: "So, let's leave after resting, I advise you not to stay in Fang Yuan City, as soon as the Black Sheep Village is destroyed, Fang Yuan City's dart business will probably be greatly reduced." ”

Jiang Ling was silent when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Leia and Hull.

Here, the village chief looked at Mu An excitedly and asked, "What you said is true?" Why didn't you tell me that the bandits were coming? ”

"What's the use of telling you, the bandit squad should come or come." Mu An snorted lightly, shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm going back, you can send these 'distinguished guests' away as soon as possible." By the way, I also want to tell you, the chickens in this house are slaughtered quickly, and they can have something to eat when the big man of the bandit squad comes over. ”

With that, Mu An left without saying a word.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, clasped his fists towards the village chief and said, "Village chief, we have to go too." ”

The village chief wanted to speak and stopped, but finally just nodded, sent Jiang Ling and the others out of the courtyard, and watched Jiang Ling and the three of them walk out of the village.

The little eagle trotted out after a while, a little gasping, he looked up at the village chief, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, uncle said that I can also become a strong man, and then I can protect grandpa and mother!" ”
