Chapter 35: Taoyuan Village
"Yes, yes, yes, you can hit the target accurately from a distance of dozens of feet." A young man replied quickly. There was still a look of fear on his face, obviously he had never eaten such an attack.
"Little brother, I don't know if I can ask you to ......" Han Lin looked at Fang Yan with a worried face, and stopped talking. In the end, the second half of the sentence was said in the eager eyes of the young people behind him: "Little brother, can you help us and help us get rid of that person." Otherwise, we really won't be able to live. ”
"Helping you?" Fang Yan glanced at Han Lin, frowned slightly, and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Big brother, you can help us." Han Ke'er suddenly took two steps forward, pulling at his clothes in dialect and pleading, his small face full of pleading. made Fang Yan's slightly frowning brow unconsciously deepened a point.
Fang Yan reached out and touched Han Ke'er's little head, looking at her appearance, he couldn't help but think of his younger brother. If he didn't wait to rush back to Heavenly Bow City, he wouldn't mind making a move. Although he didn't know what kind of strength that person was, with the Golden Winged Demon Phoenix by his side, he was not afraid.
However, looking at Han Ke'er's eyes full of longing, he couldn't say anything when the words of rejection came to his lips, he thought about it slightly, and asked Han Lin, "Uncle Han, has that person been living in your village all along?" ”
Hearing that there was a meaning of helping in the dialect words, Han Lin's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "That person never lives in our village, we don't even know where he lives, but he comes to the village once a month to get medicinal herbs. Tomorrow is the day he comes to get the herbs. ”
"I don't know where he lives?" Fang Yan's heart froze slightly, it seems that this opponent who has not yet met is not simple. He was so cautious in the face of ordinary people in a village, and he didn't even let them know where he lived, which was enough to show that that person was not a simple-minded person.
"If it's tomorrow, then I'll go with you." Fang Yan nodded in response, he really couldn't bear to say the words of refusal, and it shouldn't be a big deal to delay for another day. On the other hand, he also deeply hated such bullies.
Han Ke'er was overjoyed and said, "It's so good, it's so good, thank you, big brother." ”
"Little brother, you are really our great benefactor. Thank you in advance. Han Lin was so excited that he burst into tears, and took the dozen or so young people behind him to make a big salute to Fang Yan.
"Uncle, you're welcome." Fang Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly replied, "I just did my best." Uncle, time is pressing, let's go. ”
"Okay, okay, okay." Han Lin didn't have a word, and after confirming the direction, he said to the dialect: "Great benefactor, go this way." ”
"Uncle, you still call me little brother." The dialect was a little crying and laughing, "Or call me by my name, my name is dialect." ”
"Okay, little brother in dialects, go this way." Han Lin led the way in front, and the dozen or so young men followed behind them carrying the slain demon beast.
Along the way, Fang Yan kept asking Han Lin about their lives, and became more and more curious about their isolated village. Han Lin also asked curiously about the origin of the dialect, and when he learned that his life had long been out of touch with the outside world, he only smiled slightly, but other than that, he didn't show any unusual emotions. Even when he learned that the dialect was so terrifying because he had practiced it, he was indifferent, and just showed a sudden expression. He doesn't seem to be interested in the world of smashing and killing.
The rugged mountain road seemed to be flat under the feet of these people, and after more than three hours, the dialect was brought to a canyon.
"You're there after this canyon." Han Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sky that was about to darken, and explained in the dialect: "Because our village is surrounded by unattainable cliffs on all sides, this canyon is the only place we must pass in and out of the village. There is no other route into our village. ”
Fang Yan nodded, did not speak, and looked around curiously.
The canyon is about 100 zhang long and about 3 zhang wide, and there are high cliffs on both sides, the cliffs are smooth and flat, even if it is a dialect, it is impossible to climb it with bare hands.
"Be careful, you can't step on it here." Han Lin pointed to a piece of flat ground not far in front of Fang Yan and said, "In order to prevent ferocious beasts from entering, we have set traps in this valley. Little brother, be careful. ”
Fang Yan nodded quietly and followed Han Lin's footprints forward.
After a hundred zhang, Fang Yan's eyes lit up, and he saw a picture that he would never forget.
At the foot of the mountain hundreds of zhang away, the grass is green and the scenery is picturesque. Surrounded by plants he couldn't name, each with a bunch of bright and dazzling flowers. A flock of chirping birds chase through a green rice field with hard-working women. In a river that is not spacious, there are also comfortable girls who are washing, and not far away, a few children are playing happily. A mountain breeze blew, and their cheerful laughter could be heard.
Fang Yan looked at all this in front of him with a shocked face, his mood suddenly became calm, and his eyes finally fell on a patchwork of thatched huts not far from the field, and above the thatched huts, a line of cooking smoke that he was very familiar with was rising. Then slowly drift away with the wind......
Looking at the smoke of the cooking, Fang Yan's breathing suddenly became rapid, once upon a time, he could often see such a situation on the roof of his house, but think about it, he has not seen it since his father lost his freedom.
"Uncle Han, are you back? Hey? Behind a rock at the end of Shaanxi Road, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old elegant girl walked out with a smile, and when she saw the dialect standing beside Han Lin, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said strangely: "Uncle Han, this is?" ”
Han Lin said excitedly: "Bamboo girl, go and tell your grandfather, we are saved, this is the great benefactor who came to help us." He might have a way to get out of the man who had been threatening us. ”
"Can he help us?" The girl was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Fang Yan suspiciously.
"Bamboo girl, don't go yet." Seeing the girl's expression, Han Lin didn't know what she was thinking. immediately snorted coldly, for fear that she would anger this great benefactor who had been invited with great difficulty.
The girl stuck out her tongue and turned and walked up the hill.
"Sister Zhu, wait for me." Han Ke'er squeezed out of the crowd and chased after him.
"The boys over the age of ten in the village have been sent out to pick elixir. As a result, most of the people left in the village are elderly, women and children. Han Lin pointed to the women and children at the foot of the mountain and explained, his tone a little sluggish. But they'll be back tomorrow morning at the latest. Little brother, let's go inside. ”
Fang Yan nodded indifferently and walked up a long, sloping slope towards the foot of the mountain. After walking hundreds of feet, I finally came to this village. Watching Han Lin greet the old man working in the fields on the side while walking, and amusing some children who greeted him, his heart seemed to be touched by something, and there was an indescribable feeling.
"Sixth Uncle." Han Lin suddenly walked a few quick steps.
Fang Yan turned his head, and an old man walked quickly in his direction accompanied by the girl who was called a bamboo girl by Han Lin and Han Ke'er. The old man was in good spirits, with a stiff body and black hair, and he couldn't tell his specific age. Behind them, there were seventy or eighty people.
Han Lin walked up to the old man led by him, whispered a few words, and saw that the old man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked to Fang Yan's side, and said excitedly: "Old Han Changkong, on behalf of nearly 300 people in Taoyuan Village, thank the little brother for coming to the rescue. ”
After saying that, he led dozens of people behind him to bow in dialect. For them, this may be the only way they can show their gratitude.
Fang Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Uncle don't be polite, you can rest assured, after tomorrow, you can return to your original life, and that person will never appear in front of you again." ”
After seeing the true face of this village, Fang Yan wanted to protect this pure land from the bottom of his heart. Give these simple people a peaceful living environment.
"Little brother, that person is not simple." Han Changkong looked at Fang Yan with a worried expression: "All the prime people in our village are not his opponents combined, you must be careful." ”
"Don't worry, uncle, I have my own measure." Fang Yan smiled, full of confidence.
"Well, along the way, you must be tired too. Let's go and rest first. Whatever is commanded. With that, Han Changkong turned his head to the girl from before and said, "Bamboo girl, take this little benefactor to rest." ”
"Thank you, uncle." Fang Yan turned and followed the girl away.
After Han Changkong watched Fang Yan walk away, he turned his head and said, "Everyone disperse." Han Lin stayed. ”
"Sixth Uncle......" Han Lin took two steps forward, he knew that the sixth uncle naturally had something to ask him if he left him.
"Tell me about the whole thing." Han Changkong said in a complicated tone: "Although I don't want to splash you with cold water, this kid is too young." ”
"Sixth Uncle, here's how it happened......" Han Lin explained in detail what he had encountered in the dialect.
"He can emit that white light, too? Kill a beast with one blow? Han Changkong's face showed surprise, and said, "Then I can rest assured." Even if he loses, he should have the ability to protect himself. Later you pass on the message and don't bother the kid. Let him rest well. ”
"I see."
