Chapter 1: Strange Slope

The white sweater had been wet by the waves, and he and she felt guilty about the two Shiba Inu lost in Lijia Village, but they were in a hurry to get out, so they could only do so.

"How many people died in that village?"

"I don't know, but Li Suqing is dead, and those four people should have been taken over by the Shaodong family, so the slaughter should stop!"

"You've been seen in the face?"

"Nope! I can be sure. ”

"Did you see them, then? Is there a little girl in her early twenties with them? ”

"I didn't see it, there were only two people in front of me at the time, and if that little girl really came, she would definitely see her tonight."

"Little Ai ......"

……

Xu Tian and his party were led into a rugged mountain road by that young man, this island is still so high, although I have heard that there is high ground on the island before, but I didn't expect it to be a bit ridiculously high, after three hours of trekking, Xu Tian felt as if he had climbed on the clouds.

"How much longer? How do you feel more tired than climbing Mount Tai! Xu Tian complained.

"It's time for you to work out." Teacher Jin lit a cigarette and said.

"Isn't Mr. Jin also a little gasping? It's not a matter of exercising, is it? I feel a little hypoxic. Xu Tian said.

"The terrain here is a bit high, so it has not been opened to traffic so far, and only Caogang Village is the most backward of the five villages, there is no way, and the inconvenient transportation is a hard injury." The young man said.

"Who is that young owner you are talking about?" Xu Tian asked.

"Shaodong said that I will give you a surprise, but there seems to be something wrong with the person you came, this person named Yang Qi is not on the list." The young man said.

"What was the name of the person on the original list?" Xiao Ai asked.

"Called...... Chen Jingsheng. ”

"Old Chen?" Xu Tian said suspiciously.

"It's also reasonable, the people here shouldn't know that something happened to Lao Chen, but it was indeed an accident that Yang Qi came along." Teacher Jin said.

"Is that young owner a man or a woman, can this be revealed?" Xu Tian asked.

"Don't embarrass me, if the young owner doesn't show a surprised expression on your face when he sees you, I will be scolded." The young man said with a look of grievance.

"Okay, okay! So what's your name? Xu Tian asked.

"You can just call me Xiaodong."

"You said that the young owner won't be a famous family in the village, right?" Xiao Ai asked.

"I can't hide this, but you definitely won't know who the young owner is, but you will definitely be surprised." Xiaodong said.

"There was originally a family surnamed Chen in the village, the ancestor of the Chen family was a salt merchant in the interior, and he was a famous nouveau riche in the Qing Dynasty. Xiao Ai said.

"Big households are still big families when they go to a strange place, which is also a phenomenon of the old society!" Teacher Jin sighed.

"Surname Chen?" Xu Tian couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

"Our Chen family is not a big family now, after all, that kind of landlord thinking has long been gone, and now the old Chen family is only doing some seafood business, but the conditions in the village are still among the best." Xiaodong said.

"According to what you say, there should be a big family in the village that is as famous as the old Chen family?" Xu Tian asked.

"Of course, after all, the old Chen family is not the leader of the village, if you talk about financial resources, our Chen family is definitely this." Xiaodong said with a thumbs up. "But there is an old man surnamed Fang in the village, and he knows that against our Chen family, whether it is business or the election of the village head, Old Man Fang must participate."

"Fang?" Xu Tian asked.

"You don't have to doubt it, it's Commander Fang's descendant." Xiao Ai said. "Didn't Li Suqing say that Commander Fang's notes are in the five villages, and they are all in the hands of Commander Fang's descendants, there is no doubt that the notes of Caogang Village are in the hands of that old man Fang."

"I lost my notebook, and when I woke up in the afternoon, I forgot about it, and I don't know who took it." Xu Tian said.

"Don't worry, we all have electronic archives for notebooks, and Li Zhitong still has rubbings there, the important thing now is to get the notes in Old Man Fang's hands, does Xiao Ai feel hopeful?" Teacher Jin asked.

"I don't know, but listening to Xiaodong's description, that old man Fang shouldn't be a fuel-efficient lamp." Xiao Ai said.

"You want to ask for something from Old Man Fang?" Xiaodong said with a grin. "Don't daydream, and you were invited into the village by the Shaodong family, it stands to reason that you are the guests of the Shaodong family, and Old Man Fang is the sworn enemy of our old Chen family, he won't give you anything."

"So...... We must be in the wrong place. Xu Tian said.

As he was talking, Xu Tian suddenly felt that his steps had become much easier, just now he was still walking up the hill with difficulty, but now he felt like he was walking on flat ground, and it was becoming more and more effortless, and after walking a few steps, he actually had a feeling of going downhill.

"When you reach the strange slope, you will enter the village after walking about 300 meters." Xiao Ai said.

"Strange slope?" Xu Tian asked.

"Haven't you heard of it? There are also many scenic spots in the inland with strange slopes, that is, when you go uphill, you feel that you are going downhill, and when you go downhill, you feel that you are uphill, in fact, it is the reason for the magnetic field, I won't explain it more, you can check it on the Internet yourself. Xiao Ai said.

"It would be nice if it was a strange slope the whole time." Xu Tian complained.

The strange slope is about fifty meters, and you can see the entrance of the village after walking out of the strange slope, but Xu Tian feels that Caogang Village is not as poor as Xiaodong said, although there are no street lights, but there are dozens of lanterns lit at the entrance of the village, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as brightly lit.

"Are those lanterns full of light bulbs inside?" Xu Tian asked.

"That's right! The lantern of the Fang family is on the west side, the lantern of our Chen family is on the east side, and there is a village road in the middle, which is also the 38th line. Xiaodong said.

"Then we should go east, right?" Xu Tian said.

"Yes, yes, yes! To the east is the chassis of the Chen family, and to the west is the territory of the Fang family. Xiaodong said.

Xu Tian glanced around, and suddenly saw two white buildings not far ahead.

"What's that? Land Temple? Xu Tian asked.

"That's the Dog God Temple, the west side belongs to the Fang family, and the east side is our Chen family." Xiaodong said.

"Inujina? There is also a dog temple here? Xu Tian said in surprise.

As he was talking, a few people suddenly came out of the dog temple in the east, and the person who walked in front looked very familiar, and when that person approached, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin were suddenly taken aback.
