Chapter 51: Wangjia Village
When Zhang An was chatting with an old man in the village who came forward to toast, a group of villagers came back from the village.
When they found a ruined scene in the village and knew what had happened, the villagers who had gone out to return to the village angrily pulled out their swords, and the villagers led by them even burst out with a momentum that shocked Zhang An.
The old man who was drinking with Zhang An took them away, probably to appease the angry villagers.
Zhang An's curiosity was aroused, and he hurriedly pulled Wang Hangju to inquire, only to know the horror of this Wangjia Village.
There are less than 100 households in Wangjia Village, and the population is only about 200 people.
But in such a small village, there are actually two celestial masters, thirty Gang Qi masters in the prime of life, and the rest of the teenagers are more or less cultivated.
The strength of the village made Zhang An stunned, and secretly thought, could this be the legendary hermit mountain village?
It's just such a mountain village, in the face of only one Gang Qi master leading the team, nine martial artists who are less than Gang Qi, will there be heavy casualties?
When Zhang An asked this question, Wang Hangju smiled bitterly and said the reason.
The ancestors of Wangjia Village can be traced back to the famous general Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty.
It's just that the ancestors of Wangjia Village were a little unhappy with the people in the same lineage, so they moved their own line out of the Wang family.
After Qin destroyed the Han Dynasty, Wangjiacun settled in the area of today's Yecheng.
At the time of Yuan Cao's war, many people in Wangjia Village left the village to join the Yuan army, who knew that Yuan Shao's army was defeated, and those Wang family members who joined the army failed to return from the battlefield.
Then someone in Wangjia Village joined the army, and some people sued Cao Jun, so Wangjia Village was liquidated by Cao Cao and sent an army to encircle and suppress.
After slaughtering the few remaining masters of Wangjia Village, the generals of the Cao Army spared the old and young women, but forcibly moved Wangjia Village to its current location.
It's not that the people of Wangjia Village haven't thought about revenge, but the clan elders at that time thought that after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, it was the general trend to dominate the world, so it was better to endure this revenge.
After coming here to Cao Cao's territory, an outsider in Wangjia Village naturally suffered a lot of hardships, fortunately, there were still many Wang masters who traveled abroad, when they knew the bad news, the masters of Wangjia Village who traveled abroad returned to the village to guard, and after a few years of recuperation, some people got a breakthrough, and there was a terrifying lineup of thirty gangqi masters.
As for those two celestial masters, they are really an outlier.
The people in Wangjia Village are not prosperous, but as long as they are boys, nine out of ten are martial arts wizards, and the two who have become masters of heaven and man have even more earth-shattering qualifications, but they have reached the realm of heaven and man in their twenties.
It's a pity that these two celestial masters, their hearts and IQs are just the same as those of five or six-year-old children.
Three days before the accident in the village, some of the Gangqi masters went to Yang Zhai to purchase the things that the village needed, and by the way, they brought the boys who practiced in the village, so that they could relax their minds after cultivating weekdays.
And as soon as these people left on their front feet, the two child-minded masters of heaven and man sneaked out of the village.
For fear that they would cause some trouble outside, in order to find them and bring them back to the village as soon as possible, all the remaining masters left the village to search for the two celestial masters, and there was only a group of old and weak women and children left in the village who had not cultivated.
I thought that Cao Cao's rule was quite peaceful, but I didn't expect to be attacked by the evil star.
On the one hand, Wang Hangju and they went out of the village to find the enemy, and on the other hand, it was also to inform the villagers who had gone to Yangzhai and hurried back to the village to sit down.
"It's a pity that although I am a master of medicine, I am not skilled in force. Wang Hangju sighed and said, "Otherwise, that day... Alas. ”
After sighing, Wang Hangju continued: "The masters who went out in my village will all return in this time, Brother Zhang, you can stay in peace." ”
Then Wang Hangju showed a cruel smile: "If someone really comes to seek revenge, it would be the best, just capture them all, and ask which family is behind them." ”
Looking at the bitter hatred in Wang Hangju's eyes, Zhang An smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of which, Brother Wang, you are still implicated by me. ”
Then Zhang An told about his assassination of Guo Xianling.
Wang Hangju shook his head and said, "What kind of implication is this? That dog official surnamed Guo wants to grab a sword and kill people, you should do it if you kill him." ”
While the two were talking, the villagers who had been taken away by the old man returned.
It should have been the old man who played a role in their persuasion, and compared to the meeting when they first knew what was going on, although they still had anger and sadness on their faces, their emotions had stabilized.
A big man walked up to Zhang An, first saluted three bowls of wine in a row, and then said, "Brother Zhang, my name is Wang Wu, thank you for avenging our relatives, you can rest assured that you can recuperate in the village, and everything is with us." ”
Zhang An hurriedly said, "Then I'll disturb you." ”
"Treat our village as your own home, and say what you want directly, no need to be polite. Wang Wu wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "When my brother is healed, let's have a fight." ”
Zhang An smiled and nodded.
The rest of the villagers stepped forward to toast in turn, thanking Zhang An for avenging their loved ones.
Zhang An returned the salute one by one, and the guests and hosts were happy.
After a meal, Zhang An changed his mind of leaving, settled in the village steadily, and prepared to repair his body in Wangjia Village, and then go out to look for stones.
Unless the army comes to attack, there is absolutely no safer place in the world than Wangjia Village.
After living in Wangjia Village for two days, Zhang An fell in love with this small village.
Because the people here give Zhang An a sense of peace, calm, and warmth.
Even Xiao Hei, who was afraid of the living, lived in the village, did not run out to live alone, and every day children of the same age as the village ran around, and there was no one all day long.
After living in Wangjia Village, Zhang An was also thinking about whether he should absorb those stones, after all, his situation was very safe now, and there was no need to absorb stones in exchange for some possible abilities.
However, when he found that the injuries in his body still showed no signs of improvement, and the qi in his body still looked lifeless, Zhang An hit the stone again.
After thinking hard for a while, Zhang An made a decision, in three days, if the injury still did not improve, he would absorb a stone and try it to see if he could make the injury change.
After all, those stones that suddenly disappeared have always worried Zhang An, and Zhang An was afraid that he would be late, and he would really never find the slightest clue about the stones.
In addition to recuperating from his injuries, Zhang An would also practice the halberd method and the sword moves he had seen in Wang Yue's study every day.
When Zhang An was practicing, he did not shy away from the people in Wangjia Village, and directly found a vacant land to start practicing, but attracted all the people who were free in Wangjia Village.
After all, his halberd method comes from Lu Bu, and his sword technique comes from Wang Yue's collection, for the people of Wangjia Village, who is prevalent in martial arts and whose ancestors are Wang Qian, a general in the army, Zhang An's halberd and swordsmanship are full of attraction.
In the end, Wang Wu couldn't bear it anymore and carried a long knife to fight with Zhang An.
Because they knew that Zhang An was injured, the two of them were simply testing swordsmanship.
In the end, the two played to a draw.
Half of the reason for the tie is that Zhang An's swordsmanship is also a slight success, and the other part is because Wang Wu's swordsmanship is passed down from Wang Jian and is used for battlefield fighting, and the degree of refinement is naturally not as fine as the swordsmanship used for fighting in the rivers and lakes that Zhang An saw from Wang Yue's study.
"When my brother is healed, let's ride on the horse and learn the halberd technique again. After learning that Zhang An's halberd method came from Lu Bu, not only Wang Wu, but even several other onlookers from Wangjia Village also showed a fiery fighting spirit.
On the fourth day of Zhang An's stay, the villagers who went out to search for the masters of the celestials finally brought the two celestials back.
Knowing that after the master of heaven and man returned to the village, Zhang An couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and walked towards the entrance of the village among the villagers.
When Zhang An came to the entrance of the village, he saw two young people who seemed to be about the same age as him, thin and identical, bowing their heads with aggrieved faces, and being reprimanded by an old man.
The old man's name is Wang Quan, and he is one of the few old people left in Wangjia Village, because he can't cultivate, he escaped the catastrophe back then, but in recent years, the old man's health is not very good, so he didn't say a few words, and coughed violently.
The two young men hurriedly supported the old man, and one of them squeezed the old man's shoulders obediently.
Seeing this, the old man Wang Quan couldn't scold anymore, shook his head with a wry smile, and walked slowly behind his back.
Wang Quan left, and the villagers who watched the play also dispersed, Wang Hangju walked up, grabbed the two young people who wanted to run away, and said with a straight face, "Wang Dao, Wang Bandao, where do you want to go?
The two young men made bitter faces, lowered their heads and honestly followed behind Wang Hangju, and walked towards Zhang An.
"This is Uncle Zhang An, don't call people yet!" Wang Hangju pointed at Zhang An and said.
Zhang An was taken aback, people about the same age as me call me uncle?
"Uncle Zhang An is good. "The two young men were honest.
Zhang An stood in place at a loss, not knowing whether he should agree or not.
Wang Rou ran over and quietly pulled the corner of Wang Hangju's clothes.
"Go, take them to play, watch them well, don't let them run away again!" Wang Hangju understood, waved his big hand, and let Wang Rou and the three of them leave.
Looking at Zhang An, who was embarrassed, Wang Hangju smiled and explained the origin of the two young people.
The two young men are siblings, the elder brother is called Wang Dao, the younger brother is called Wang Bandao, and their father is Wang Hangju's cousin.
It's just that unlike Wang Hangju, the father of the two Wang Dao brothers is a martial arts wizard, but he went to join the army and failed to come back.
The mother of the two Wang Dao was sick from grief and death shortly after moving to Cao Cao's rule, and before her death, she entrusted the two brothers to Wang Hangju.
In the whole village, except for the old man Wang Quan, who is their uncle and grandfather, can control the two brothers, and only Wang Hangju can make the two brothers obedient.
"Don't look at them so well-behaved now, in fact, they have caused us a lot of trouble on weekdays. Wang Hangju smiled and said, "If they provoke Brother Zhang, you can reprimand them directly." ”
Reprimanding the two celestial masters? Zhang An's expression was strange, and he was afraid that he felt that he had lived too long.
"Don't worry, you and I are equal friends, I asked them to call you uncle today, and they knew that they would have to listen to you in the future. Wang Hangju glanced at the two Wang Dao brothers who were squatting not far away and playing with Wang Rou, his eyes were full of pampering and worry, "Alas, I don't know who else will be able to control the two brothers after Uncle Quan and I are a hundred years later?"
