Chapter 13: Homecoming
Yuan Qiong spent a whole day collecting heavenly treasures with Crazy Mountain, and during this time, he also discovered an even rarer hundred-year-old spirit fruit-Yanyan Spirit Fruit.
However, it is guarded by a white-winged tiger with a ten-fold refining body, which is extremely fierce and has wings, which is extremely difficult to deal with.
The two tried to lure it away and then turn back to pick it, but the animal grew two wings, fluttered a few times and flew back.
In the end, the two had to give up the hundred-year-old spirit fruit and go directly to Cangshan Township.
During this period, Yuan Qiong took a detour to the cave where Qian Juan's body was abandoned, and there were traces of a fight in the cave.
Two huge saber-toothed pigs were chopped to death by their heads, their entire heads were blown out, and Qian Juan's body was nowhere to be found.
Yuan Qiong found footprints outside the cave, and the number of them was no less than ten, and it seemed that someone had found Qian Juan's body, but I don't know if it was Qian Fu or someone else.
Crazy Mountain saw that Yuan Qiong's face was a little gloomy, and asked, "Boy, did you kill someone and be discovered?"
Yuan Qiong looked down at him: "How do you know?"
"You have an expression on your face that I am a murderer, and anyone who looks at it will suspect you, and if I were you, I would never show this expression. ”
Yuan Qiong's heart was shocked, and he was still a little too nervous.
With a long sigh of relief and adjusting his mentality, Yuan Qiong walked out of the Apocalypse Forest with a bag of heavenly materials and earth treasures on his back and went home.
As the sun set, the beasts dormant in the forest watched the young man with the package on his back from afar, and finally chose to give up the attack.
On the side of the boy's departure, a large white bear, once the king of the area, fell in the bushes.
"Isn't there any reward for me to remind you so zealously?" said Wild Mountain, walking beside him on his short legs.
Yuan Qiong didn't say much, and directly took out a fifty-year-old Chilian Fruit from the snakeskin package and threw it to the other party.
Wild Mountain jumped up and grabbed Chilian Fruit, swallowed it whole in three or two bites, and then licked his mouth with satisfaction.
......
Walking to the township, Yuan Qiong met three of Qian Juan's followers, who were squatting on the side of the road, checking the passers-by, with a fierce look.
Occasionally, a few young women in good looks passed by, and the three of them pointed at them with evil smiles, and even foul language.
The villagers passing by saw it in their eyes, and a trace of anger flashed in their hearts, but they finally left silently.
Just as they were surrounding a young girl to flirt, Yuan Qiong kicked up a stone and hit the groping pig in the hand of the money turtle.
"Rub, what bastard dares to meddle?"
Qian Gui painfully loosened the girl's waist, and the three of them turned back angrily, only to see that it was the target they had been looking for a few days, Yuan Qiong!
On that day, the three of them saw that Qian Zuo had not returned for a long time, and looked for the direction where Qian Zuo and Yuan Qiong had left, and the three of them were too timid to enter the Apocalypse Forest, so they went back to report to Squire Qian.
Squire Qian led more than a dozen martial artists who refined the body into the forest to search, and finally found two saber-toothed pigs snatching a broken arm in a sabertooth cave.
Only then did Qian find out that his precious grandson had died. Enraged, Squire Qian killed two beasts on the spot and ordered the search for his grandson's body.
But there are countless beasts in the Apocalypse Great Forest, and even ants and insects are mostly carnivores, not to mention that several hours have passed, so naturally no trace has been found.
The grief-stricken Squire Qian hung up the three followers and punished them severely, if it weren't for the same clan, the three of them would have been killed.
The three people who cried and called their mothers who were beaten told the story of Qian Juan's private fight with Yuan Qiong.
Although Squire Qian didn't believe in a waste in the township, the weakest student in Wutang was able to kill his precious grandson, but he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, Squire Qian immediately sent someone to the Yuan family to find someone.
But at that time, only Chuyue was at home, and the Qian family kicked open the courtyard door, and when he saw that Yuan Qiong could not be found, he wanted to kidnap Chuyue.
happened to bump into the returning rescue team, and Yuan Zhiyuan clashed with the Qian family on the spot.
In normal times, the villagers would be afraid of the Qian family and dare not express their position, after all, the Qian family controls most of the hunting business in the township, but Yuan Zhiyuan is the biggest hero who saved the hunting team this time, no matter how powerful your Qian family is, you can't treat heroes like this!
So it immediately aroused public indignation, especially the members of the hunting team who were rescued by Yuan Zhiyuan, who pulled their necks, held knives, bows and arrows, and the two sides faced each other with swords, and they were about to break out.
If it weren't for the township chief coming forward in time and proposing that no matter what, everything would wait for Yuan Qiong to come back and then discuss and decide, I am afraid that there would be a death on the spot.
Seeing that this matter was a big problem, the Qian family had to temporarily stop and let Chuyue go.
So there were three followers squatting at the entrance of the countryside looking for people.
Other places in the township also have Qian's family members patrolling. The Qian family was worried that the Yuan family would protect him, and he was also worried that Yuan Qiong would secretly return to his hometown from the trail, so there were people in the entire township, and he just waited for the other party to appear and immediately arrested and sent to the Qian Mansion.
As long as you interrogate and determine that Yuan Qiong is the murderer, you can solve it directly with one knife, even if the Yuan family comes to make trouble afterwards, it is not too much of a problem.
Although Yuan Zhiyuan is a good hand in the hunting team of Cangshan Township, he has a certain connection, and his wife Xuan Ruyi is also a senior herbalist, but it is just a small family without backing.
Not only do they have hundreds of warriors in their Qian family, but the Qian squire is also a strong man with ten levels of body refinement, and they are also a side branch of the five major families in the imperial capital.
Even if you kill a few people, what if you don't say that they are the township heads, even the county magistrate doesn't dare to do anything to them!
They thought that Yuan Qiong would secretly return to their hometown to reunite with their families, so they guarded several important good hands on several other sheep intestine paths, but they missed the township entrance avenue.
The three of the little followers arranged to stay at the entrance of the township just to make up the numbers, and they didn't expect that Yuan Qiong would go home from the avenue.
"Yuan Qiong!" Qian Gui was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and the place on his body where he was beaten seemed to be in a faint pain.
Qian Zi on the side scolded: "Okay! You dare to come back! Big brother, I'll report to the old lady......"
Qian Sun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and ran away: "Brother, you hold on first, I'll report to Mrs.!"
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!" Qian Zi and Qian Gui looked at each other, not losing the eldest brother, and they were the fastest to escape.
Yuan Qiong couldn't cry or laugh, these three living treasures!
The girl who was molested also took the opportunity to escape from the two and hid behind Yuan Qiong, who looked up at Yuan Qiong crying.
Seeing Yuan Qiong's resolute and bright eyes, and the side face that smiled gently at herself, the girl's eyes widened, and she even stopped choking.
The girl asked with tears in her eyes, "Are you really Yuan Qiong...... Brother?"
"Who else can I be, little girl Li Mei. ”
Li Mei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and remembered that the Qian Mansion was looking for people everywhere in the township in the past few days: "Brother Yuanqiong, you have to be careful, there are many people in the township who want to arrest you, and they say that you killed the little bully......"
"Stinky girl, shut up!Can you insult Brother Qian Xuan!" Qian Gui, who was used to being arrogant on weekdays, subconsciously scolded when he heard his young master being called a "little bully".
Li Mei was originally a weak woman, but she cried again when she was so frightened by him, clutching the corner of Yuan Qiong's clothes.
Yuan Qiong suddenly raised his head and glared at the other party, his eyes full of menace.
Qian Gui and Qian Zi thought that the other party was going to attack them, and the two were so frightened that they fled.
Even Squire Qian's order: When he saw Yuan Qiong, he must not be let go.
Yuan Qiong didn't chase these two guys, patted the girl's head and said, "Be good, don't cry, I'll send you home." ”
The girl nodded obediently, and her little hand tugged at the corner of Yuan Qiong's clothes and refused to let go.
This girl is the neighbor of Yuan Qiong's family, the daughter of Li Hunter, one year younger than Yuan Qiong, and usually follows her father to Yuan Qiong's house.
The relationship with the first moon is quite close.,Although I like to tease Yuan Qiong on weekdays.,But it's kind and simple-hearted.。
After comforting, Yuan Qiong took Li Mei and walked home.
Yuan Qiong's house to the township to turn three forks, before and after it takes three to five minutes away.
Li Mei curiously stared at the snakeskin package of the basin and asked, "Brother Yuanqiong, you are almost unrecognizable to me now." By the way, what's in there?"
Yuan Qiong opened the package and inserted a blue firefly flower into Li Mei's hair: "It's nothing, it's just some herbs." ”
Li Mei blushed shyly: "Thank you, Brother Yuanqiong! Wow! All of them are good things for decades, more than my mother picked in a whole year!"
Yuan Qiong smiled slightly, a little proud in his heart.
Crazy Mountain, who followed behind, muttered disdainfully, "I haven't found it yet. Damn, I'm getting more and more used to this body, and even my habits have been led astray by this body!"
Yuan Qiong frowned slightly, and kicked him, does this stinky dog want to be treated as a monster by the villagers to light a sky lantern and talk in front of others!
Just when they passed the second fork, Yuan Qiong and the others were blocked by more than a dozen people in the alley.
Qian Sun was in the corner of the crowd, and proudly said to Yuan Qiong: "Stinky boy, look where you are running, I must arrest you back this time and teach you a lesson!"
Yuan Qiong ignored it and looked intently at the burly middle-aged man with scars in the crowd on the other side.
The middle-aged man's claw marks connected the upper and lower eyelids of his left eye, extending diagonally to the earlobe.
He blinked and the scar shook with it, a little hideous. This is the claw mark left by the attack of a toothed leopard, which almost scratched his left eye.
Yuan Qiong said in a deep voice: "Qian Jun, what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he handed the package to Li Mei again, and whispered to her to go back first and bring the package back to Chuyue.
"Hey, that girl took a detour!" exclaimed Qian Sun.
The middle-aged man glanced at Qian Sun in annoyance, and the latter was immediately so frightened that he stopped speaking.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Yuan Qiong, it seemed that the rumors that the Yuan family's strange child had recovered from his absence of consciousness was true.
He said loudly: "Kid of Yuan Zhiyuan's family, someone saw a private fight with you before Young Master Qian Zuo disappeared, do you know?"
After hearing this, Yuan Qiong thought about it, there were obvious traces of people going to the beast cave, and the Qian family should have known that Qian Zuo was dead, but at this moment, he deliberately told me that he was missing, this guy was not as big as he imagined, just five big and three coarse.
Yuan Qiong's words were a little more cautious: "I did have a personal fight with him, but then I was defeated by him, fled into the Apocalypse Forest, and made a detour to follow the rescue team, and I think the villagers know what happened after that." ”
"And how do you explain this short sword?"
As he spoke, the other party threw out the short sword that was similar to Yuan Qiong's previous and threw it on the ground, looking at Yuan Qiong coldly.
Yuan Qiong's whole body tightened, and he almost revealed a flaw. But after thinking about it, his short sword was damaged during a private fight with Zuo Shanren, how could it be intact.
Unhurriedly, he said, "What do you explain?" I'm very surprised that the head of the dignified Qian Mansion, a strong man with a ninefold body refining body, would actually bully a child and deliberately intimidate me!"
Qian Jun frowned slightly. Seeing that the other party did not show the panic as he imagined, he was a little surprised, and it seemed that this son was not suspicious.
But even so, the old man ordered to arrest him and go back for interrogation, so he couldn't let him go, and Cheng Yuanzhi hadn't arrived yet, so he must take this son!
