Zhang Tianduo said: "It seems that this matter is beyond the scope of what we can handle, I have a proposal, I don't know if it will work?" ”

"Tell me about it."

"If we still can't find the old patriarch tomorrow, let's let the villagers of Qijia Village hide in Lewen Town, and write a letter to tell me about the situation here by the way, I think my master and the seniors of the mountain are here, even if the old patriarch finds there, it won't be able to make much waves."

When the two heard this, they immediately clapped their hands, and Che Bifan smiled: "This is a good idea, so that we can also rest assured that we can go on the road." ”

"Yes, with my master uncle and Fu seniors here, what if the old patriarch becomes a sperm zombie, maybe my master uncle and they can still follow the vine and catch the feng shui gentleman behind the scenes."

In their opinion, as long as Fu Bowen and others are there, the old patriarch will not be able to make much trouble no matter what it becomes, but what they never expected was that the development of things later was far beyond their imagination, and the villagers of Qijia Village almost died overnight, but this is a later story, and I will not mention it for the time being.

Early the next morning, Qi Ying made a desperate bet to put his hopes on this last day, and he mobilized almost all the villagers who could mobilize, along with himself and Qi Qingqing, to go up the mountain to search for the whereabouts of the old patriarch.

So many people searched the mountain, not to mention a corpse, I was afraid that even a mouse would be difficult to escape people's sight, but unfortunately, seeing that dusk was approaching, everyone still found nothing.

Che Bifan saw that there was no play, and hurriedly came to Qi Ying's side and whispered: "Uncle Ying, I don't think this can be done, let's withdraw." ”

Qi Ying sighed when she heard this, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and waved her hand: "Everyone withdraw!" ”

After hurriedly returning to Qijia Village, Qi Ying immediately ordered to leave Qijia Village, the villagers are not stupid, after these days of observation, they also know more or less the inside story, so although the villagers are exhausted, they also began to pack up and prepare to evacuate Qijia Village.

In the evening, everything is ready.

Zhang Tianduo handed the prepared letter to Qi Ying and said: "Uncle Ying, we still have important things to do, so we won't accompany you, you must be cautious along the way, it is best to rest day and night, and do not delay for a moment." ”

"Your great kindness and great virtue are unforgettable in my Qijia Village, I wish you a smooth journey." Qi Ying said and hid the letter close to her.

Seeing Qi Qingqing's sad face, Han Jinyun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Qi, you don't have to worry too much, our masters are all great masters, as long as they take action, I believe the problem will be solved soon." ”

Qi Qingqing glanced up at him, barely showed a smile, and said, "You also have to take care of yourself along the way, we will wait for you to come back in Lewen Town." ”

After saying goodbye to the villagers of Qijia Village, the three of them returned to the road, but the mood of the three of them was quite heavy along the way, especially Han Jinyun, since he met Qi Qingqing, his heart was like being taken away by Qi Qingqing, and he didn't miss her all the time.

When the world was in turmoil, warlords from all sides continued to wage wars in order to compete for territory, resulting in the misery of the people's livelihood and misery.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the three of them did not use trains and horses, only took the small road instead of the avenue, and with a pair of feet, they finally arrived at their destination after leaving Yin Yang Mountain for fifty days.

According to Granny Yin-Yin, the Ten Innocent would occasionally go to a small fishing village called Jinggang to buy some daily necessities and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and sometimes he would buy too much, so he would hire an old local fisherman to deliver the goods to the vicinity of the isolated island, and then one of his attendants would carry them to the island, so in order to find the isolated island, he must first find the old fisherman.

There are hundreds of families in this small fishing village of Jinggang, most of the people in the village make a living from fishing, almost every household has a fishing boat, and most of the villagers here know how to use water, and even three-year-old children can dive into the sea to catch fish and crabs on their own.

As soon as the three of them entered the village, they smelled a pungent smell of sea, which was the smell of the fishermen's dried goods.

It was noon, it was the time to eat and sharpen, the three of them came all the way, they were already hungry and their hearts were close to their backs, Che Bifan suggested that they should fill their stomachs first, Zhang Tianduo and Han Jinyun also agreed, but they wandered around the village for most of the hour, but they didn't even see a restaurant.

In the end, he was so hungry that he had to knock on the door of a house.

A middle-aged man who came out of the door saw three strangers outside the door, and the middle-aged man asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Oh, this friend, the three of us have just arrived in your village, and I want to ask you where the food and sharpness are?"

The middle-aged man looked the three of them up and down and said, "Our village is small and there are no restaurants. ”

Che Bifan frowned when he heard this, and saw that the middle-aged man was about to retreat into the house, and hurriedly said: "This friend, the three of us haven't eaten since last night, and now we are hungry, can you please think of a way to arrange some food and drink for us, you can rest assured, we will give more money, and we will leave after eating, and we will never bother you for too long." ”

As soon as he heard the word "money", the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much do you give?" ”

Zhang Tianduo took out three silver dollars and said, "These are enough, right?" ”

In some poor places, two silver dollars is enough for a family of five to live for a month, and there is even a surplus, this middle-aged man has been fishing all his life, and the little money he usually earns can only barely survive, who has ever seen so much money, for a while, he can't even speak.

"What? Not enough? Zhang Tianduo saw the middle-aged man's face stiff, thinking that he had given less, and was about to take out two more silver dollars, but the middle-aged man finally came back to his senses and grabbed the three silver dollars in Zhang Tianduo's hand, and was so happy that he could barely close his mouth: "Enough, enough." ”

The three of them were invited into the house, and the middle-aged man arranged some tea for the three of them, and hurried to the village to buy food and drink.

There was not much time, and I saw a middle-aged man walking in with a few big bags of things: "Hahaha, it just happened that the old king at the edge of the village came back with a net, all of them are good things, wait a minute, I'll make food for you." ”

The three of them watched the middle-aged man busy boiling water and cooking, chatting with him, and when the dishes were served, the three of them also knew the middle-aged man's life experience.

This middle-aged man's name is Du Feng, it turned out to be a good hand at fishing in Jinggang Village, every time he goes to sea he can return with a full load, so he has a good life, and later married his daughter-in-law and gave birth to a few children, his burden suddenly became heavy, in order to support his family, he often went to some dangerous sea areas to fish, and then the child grew up, Du Feng often took the child out to sea to fish, one is to let them beat down, and the other is to let them learn the skills of fishing.

One year, Du Feng took his daughter-in-law and children to a dangerous sea area to fish, that day the wind and the sun were beautiful, judging by Du Feng's many years of experience, that day should be a good day for a bumper harvest, but who would have thought that when they just walked to that sea area, the originally clear blue sky suddenly seemed to be covered by a huge quilt, and the dark clouds like thick ink covered the entire sky at once.

On that day, his fishing boat was capsized by a storm, and his children and daughter-in-law were swept away by the raging waves, leaving him alone to swim back with decades of experience in the water.

Since then, Du Feng has been sluggish, fishing is no longer as sharp as before, often ten days and a half without harvest, life is not as good as day by day.

The meals prepared by Du Feng are extremely sumptuous, including scrambled eggs with fish fillets, fried shrimp, steamed large yellow croaker, steamed mussels in wine, pan-fried mackerel, squid fillets in sauce, stir-fried razor clams, sea bass in sauce, etc., and at the end there are a few big crabs with the size of a palm.

Just this meal, the three of them almost didn't break their bellies.

After a full meal, the three of them drank tea while reminiscing about the meal at the right time.

"Brother Du, let me ask you something." After resting for a while, Zhang Tianduo said.

Du Feng smiled: "Ask, as long as I know, I will tell the truth." ”

"Do you know the person of the Ten Unlay? Oh, and he also has a nickname, the Stone Man. ”

Du Feng's face changed when he heard this: "This ...... This ......"

Seeing that Du Feng's face was embarrassed, Zhang Tianduo took out two silver dollars without hesitation, put them on the table and pushed them to Du Feng, and said, "If you can tell us what you know, these two silver dollars are yours." ”

"Oh, what is this, the money you gave just now hasn't been spent, how can I take your money again." Speaking of which, he paused and asked, "Are you looking for that stone man?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Che Bifan nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Du, we came here this time to find the stone man." ”

"Alas, the Stone Man is famous in our country, and almost everyone knows it, but ...... I advised the three of them to give up. ”

Zhang Tianduo was puzzled: "How do you say this? ”

"I won't hide it from you, the small island where the stone man is located happens to be in the rapids, and the bottom of the sea around the island is full of reefs, which ordinary ships can't approach at all, and there are not a few people like you over the years, but almost all of them who venture out to sea to find the stone man have never returned."

The three of them were stunned, listening to Du Feng's meaning, he also knew the location of the island, which was a little different from what Granny Yin and Yang said.

Zhang Tianduo said: "I heard that the stone man will come to the village every once in a while to buy some daily necessities, and since he can pass unimpeded, there must be some safe route to the island." ”

"Perhaps, but no one in our village knew there was such a route, so maybe the stone man flew over."

"Flying here? Hahaha, Brother Du, it's not unusual for you to say this. Han Jinyun said with a smile.

Du Feng poured a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "I'm not a liar, once I went out to sea to fish, and suddenly saw a person flying in the air, although the distance was too far to see clearly, but from the figure of that person, it seemed to be a stone man." ”
