Chapter 51: The Mountain Keeper (2-in-1)

It's about noon.

Xia Fan and Shi Xiaofei finally arrived at Tanjiagou with difficulty.

Halfway through their journey, they found that there was no way out, and they ended up leading their horses on foot through the narrow and rugged mountain roads.

Tanjiagou is a fairly closed village, and even the local villagers have only a few hundred people.

When the villagers of Tanjiagou discovered the traces of Xia Fan and Shi Xiaofei, more than a dozen young men holding straw forks and sickles immediately poured out at the entrance of the village, putting on a vigilant posture.

"Stop, who are you, why are you in our Tanjiagou?"

As Xia Fan and Shi Xiaofei were less than a hundred steps away from the village gate, a person who was suspected of being the leader of the young man suddenly raised a bow and arrow to aim at them, and shouted at the same time.

"Don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions!"

Seeing this, Shi Xiaofei immediately stopped and explained loudly.

"The purpose of our coming to Tanjiagou this time is just to find someone!"

"Looking for someone?" The leader on the other side was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed. "We don't have the person you are looking for in Tanjiagou, if you don't leave here again, don't blame us for being polite!"

"No, the person I'm looking for is in Tanjiagou!"

How could Shi Xiaofei listen to the other party's words, and his stubborn temperament suddenly jumped up.

"I'll warn you one last time, get out of here immediately! Tanjiagou doesn't have the person you're looking for!"

The leader on the opposite side said even more viciously.

"We won't leave until we find the person we're looking for!"

Shi Xiaofei raised his neck and said.

"You can't go!"

"Don't go!"

"We're really going to get our hands dirty!"

"Come on, is the master really afraid of you? The one who doesn't do it is the grandson!"

"Don't think we don't dare to do it!"

"If it weren't for the master's sake, would you believe it or not, will the master beat you people out of the?"

Alas, how did it get the same quarrel as Erha.

If you don't agree with each other, you are threatened to do it over there, and you are shouting that you have the ability to do it.

As a result, no one dared to do anything.

Xia Fan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, and directly took the horse and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Shi Xiaofei had concerns, but he didn't!

"Stop! I said you stop!"

When the leader on the opposite side found out about Xia Fan's abnormal movements, he couldn't care about arguing with Shi Xiaofei anymore, and hurriedly aimed his bow and arrow at Xia Fan, and said in a slightly panicked tone.

However, Xia Fan turned a deaf ear and continued to walk forward.

Phew-

An arrow suddenly shot at Xia Fan.

Xia Fan didn't dodge or dodge, because the arrow was missed, and it was ridiculously off!

"You, don't come here, I'm really going to target you next time!"

The leader hurriedly took out an arrow again and aimed it at Xia Fandao again.

"Come, come, shoot me in the head. ”

Xia Fan was a little speechless.

Who knew that Xia Fan had walked to the entrance of the village, but the leader still didn't shoot the arrow, and the surrounding villagers took the initiative to disperse.

"It's really a chance for you, and you won't be useless!"

Xia Fan stopped, looked at the man holding the bow and arrow, rolled his eyes, and said.

"Say, why do you deliberately prevent us from going to the village to find someone!"

At this time, Shi Xiaofei hurriedly rushed up, stared at the leading man with an unkind face and asked.

He's not stupid.

I can't see it now, if the other party really wanted to expel them, they would have done it a long time ago.

After all, in Shi Xiaofei's cognition, people in the countryside have always been fierce, and there are often fights between different villages over water sources, and dead people are used to it.

Therefore, the villagers in front of them did not dare to do it because they were afraid of them, but there was definitely another reason.

"Take your things and go back, and I'll do the rest." ”

The leading man put down his bow and arrows and sighed, he ignored Shi Xiaofei, and instead said something to the surrounding villagers.

"Dashan, you're all right?"

"Dashan, you can't just leave it at that!"

"Big Mountain ......"

As soon as the words came out, the villagers were immediately excited.

"Okay, have you forgotten all the things that the gentleman has told you? Go back!"

The leading man who was called the mountain immediately scolded with a cold face.

Only then did the villagers reluctantly disperse.

It made the two of them laugh. ”

Not long after the villagers left, Dashan suddenly and solemnly arched towards Xia Fan and Shi Xiaofei.

"What you just did was really offensive. ”

"You know us?"

Xia Fan looked at the big mountain road in front of him, which had changed in style.

"I don't know the two of them, but someone has told the village that if someone comes to Tanjiagou one day to find someone, be sure to ask them to meet him. Dashan hesitated for a moment.

"In that case, why do you want to bring someone to stop us?" Shi Xiaofei beside him couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this.

"Because...... I was worried that after the other party saw the two of them, he would not stay in the village from now on. ”

Dashan said with a bitter face.

"???" Shi Xiaofei was confused. "Does it matter?"

"Well, let's take two of them with me now, for the day will come sooner or later. ”

But Dashan shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked towards the village.

Not much.

Dashan led the two to the largest earthen house in the village, and in the distance they heard the sound of babbling from the house.

"Wait a moment, and then go and inform the gentleman now. ”

In front of the courtyard outside the house, Dashan arched his hand towards Xia Fan and them, and walked to the earthen house alone.

Soon after Dashan entered the earthen house, the sound of reading in the house stopped abruptly, and after a while, Xia Fan and the others saw children jumping out of the house.

Seeing Xia Fan and Shi Xiaofei outside the courtyard, they would inevitably be curious to take a look, but the interesting thing was that none of the children stopped to stay, and they quickly dissipated after coming out of the courtyard.

"Come in, both of you, sir. ”

Daisen appeared outside the Tsuchiya door and shouted.

"A village teacher?"

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and walked to the earth house without hesitation.

Inside the earthen house.

They saw an ordinary man with dark skin and the shape of an old peasant.

"You're here for me?"

As soon as he entered the door, the man asked directly.

"Dare to ask the old man if he is a mountain guard?"

Shi Xiaofei immediately stepped forward and arched his hand.

"The wildflowers in the mountains are blooming. ”

The man said something inexplicably.

"But I'll never see it in my life. ”

Shi Xiaofei subconsciously replied.

"Who are you?"

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Shi Xiaofeidao.

"He was the adoptive father of the younger generation. ”

"Adoptive father?!" the man glanced at the burden behind Shi Xiaofei intentionally or unintentionally, and shook his head. "He's still dead after all. ”

“...... How did the old man know that the younger adoptive father had passed away?" Shi Xiaofei wondered.

"Because he told me that if he didn't come to see me in person, he would be dead. ”

The man waved his hand in anticipation.

"I already know your intentions, so get ready, and I'll take you back to the mountain now. ”

"Dare to ask my father-in-law?"

Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but ask.

"My name is Dai Xingheng, speaking of which, I can be regarded as your adoptive father's former senior brother. ”

"The senior is the senior brother of the younger generation's adoptive father?"

Shi Xiaofei's eyes widened in disbelief instantly.

"It used to be. Dai Xingheng deliberately emphasized.

"But why is the senior here?" Shi Xiaofei asked.

"Naturally, I was implicated by your adoptive father and sent here to think about it. ”

As he spoke, Dai Xingheng's gaze inadvertently fell on Xia Fan.

"Who are you......?

"Senior, he is the life-saving benefactor of the junior, and thanks to this senior, the junior can come here safe and sound. ”

Without waiting for Dai Xingheng to finish speaking, Shi Xiaofei was so frightened that he quickly interrupted the introduction.

"Senpai?"

Dai Xingheng looked at the ordinary Xia Fan Dao in front of him.

On the one hand, he was too young, and on the other hand, Dai Xingheng couldn't see anything special about him.

"You are Cui Xingping's senior brother?"

Xia Fan looked at each other calmly.

"Do you know my former junior brother?" said Dai Xingheng with a slight frown.

"I don't know him, but I have something I want to ask you for. Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"What's the matter?" Dai Xingheng said.

"May I ask if you remember a man named Wei Anshan?" Xia Fan asked without answering.

"Wei Anshan?!"

Hearing this name, Dai Xingheng's face changed slightly.

"Perhaps, we need a suitable occasion to talk about it. ”

Xia Fan glanced at Shi Xiaofeidao, who was confused beside him.

"I will. ”

Dai Xingheng glanced at Xia Fandao deeply.

"Two seniors, what kind of dumb riddles are you playing, is it related to my adoptive father?" Shi Xiaofei finally couldn't help asking.

"Let's go. ”

However, Dai Xingheng ignored Shi Xiaofei and walked out of the earthen house.

"Will you ever come back, sir?"

Seeing that Dai Xingheng and Xia Fan were about to leave the village, Dashan, who was left in the cold, suddenly said anxiously and loudly.

"Don't worry, I'll be back. ”

Dai Xingheng waved his hand without looking back.

"Senior, I don't think the people in the village are willing to let you leave. ”

When they left the village, almost every family came to bid farewell to Dai Xingheng, and until they all left the village, most of the villagers still stood at the entrance of the village and watched them go.

"After all, I have been in Tanjiagou for many years, and in my spare time, I will teach the villagers the art of farming and textile breeding, and later teach the children in the village to read and write. ”

Dai Xingheng said disapprerovitically.

"Senior, this can be regarded as an edifying party!" Shi Xiaofei said with sincere flattery.

"Do you think I like this?" Dai Xingheng said lightly. "When you stay alone in this kind of place for a long time, you will always find something to do for yourself when you are bored. ”

"Yes, I used to raise flowers and vegetables when I was bored in the mountains, and even domesticated tigers and leopards as companions, but unfortunately these cubs were not well raised, and they all ran away in the end. ”

Xia Fan felt the same way.

"Which sect are you from?"

Perhaps because he has been in a closed mountain village for a long time, Dai Xingheng's words and deeds have gradually assimilated the people in the countryside, and he has completely lost the demeanor of a child of the hidden sect.

"I don't have a sect, but I once nested in the mountains and practiced penance for ten years. Xia Fan said casually.

"I didn't expect you to endure this kind of loneliness at a young age, it's really rare......"

Dai Xingheng said in amazement.

"Senior, aren't you from the Hidden World Sect all the year round in the same way that you have been practicing in the world all year round?" Shi Xiaofei said curiously.

"Who said that. Dai Xingheng sneered. "In fact, every year or two, there are disciples in the sect who go down the mountain to break through, but the precepts of the sect do not allow the disciples to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, let alone expose themselves to the sect, so there are few rumors of our disciples picking up the stars on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Why?"

Shi Xiaofei was like a curious baby.

"Because the rivers and lakes have always been a place of right and wrong, until the time comes, the various hidden world sects will not lightly set foot in the rivers and lakes. ”

I don't know if it's for the sake of Cui Xingping being Shi Xiaofei's adoptive father, Dai Xingheng explained patiently.

"Besides, the people of the Demon Sect have always been inseparable from us Hidden World Sects, if we were as swaggering and prominent as the Divine Sword Villa a hundred years ago, we would have already ended up with the same fate as the Divine Sword Villa. ”

It turns out that these hidden sects are also the essence of Gou!

Xia Fan thought secretly in his heart.

Could the prestigious Divine Sword Villa be inferior to these hidden sects?

He was sometimes very curious about something.

What was the purpose of the Demon Sect when it was first established? Why did the Demon Sect repeatedly set off bloody storms in the rivers and lakes to slaughter sects and exterminate sects?

He didn't believe it was simply a matter of good and evil.

Well, in the future, it would be good to have a chance to catch a high-level of the Demon Sect and ask to see who will be this lucky person at that time.

"Xiaofei, I have something to talk to you alone in a moment. ”

When Xia Fan was wandering outside the world, Shi Xiaofei and Dai Xingheng gradually became acquainted, and even the intention of bringing Shi Xiaofei was clear.

After walking a long way in Da Min Mountain, Dai Xingheng suddenly said this to Shi Xiaofei.

"Okay, the juniors know. ”

Shi Xiaofei immediately said interestingly.

"Come with me. ”

As he spoke, Dai Xingheng motioned for Xia Fan to follow him into the distance.

"Who are you from Wei Anshan?"

After making sure that Shi Xiaofei did not follow quietly, Dai Xingheng said to Xia Fan with a gloomy face as if his face had changed.

"I'm not his person, even Wei Anshan died in my hands. Xia Fan said calmly. "It's just that he said something before the temporary moment that made me very concerned. ”

"You mean Xingping's business?" Dai Xingheng frowned.

"I want to know if Cui Xingping killed Wei Anshan and his little sister's family. Xia Fan said bluntly.

"No!" Dai Xingheng said flatly.

"Then why did Cui Xingping let the Star Picking Building abolish martial arts and expel him from the sect?" Xia Fan asked.

"Because...... The death of Wei Anshan and his little sister's family is indeed indirectly related to Xingping. Dai Xingheng was silent for a moment and said. If Xingping hadn't been involved with that woman at the beginning, Wei Anshan and his little junior sister would not have ended up ruined. ”

"Can you tell me the truth about that year?" Xia Fan said.

"Do you know the Thrush?"
