"No problem,"

I nodded, took off my coat and handed it over, and at the same time asked, "By the way, eldest sister, why didn't I see my eldest brother coming over for dinner, isn't he at home?" ”

"Alas!"

The eldest sister sighed and looked at the hut in front of her: "My husband is sick and is still sleeping in the house." ”

I pretended to be curious and asked, "What disease does my eldest brother have?" Yan is not serious, have you seen a doctor? ”

The eldest sister shook her head: "My husband's illness is not good for the doctor." ”

I wanted to continue asking, but the eldest sister waved her hand: "Don't worry, when I go to the wedding banquet tomorrow and eat meat, his illness will be alleviated." ”

What is the strange disease that needs to be alleviated by eating meat? I wondered more and more.

However, seeing that the eldest sister was reluctant to say more, I did not continue to ask, and when I finished eating, the eldest sister entered the hut with a bowl of white porridge, and I quietly walked out, intending to walk around the village.

At this time, it was only seven o'clock in the evening, and the night had just fallen, but the entire Heishui Village was silent, and the thatched huts were hidden in the shadows, like scattered graves, which was terrifying.

The village was not big, and soon I walked from the west to the east, and at the T-junction at the east end, I saw an old locust tree.

This old locust tree looks very old, with lush branches and leaves, nearly 20 meters high, and the main pole is stout, I estimate that it takes at least three people to hug it.

As soon as I walked under the old locust tree, I felt an extremely cold breath, enveloping me from all directions, my body trembled, and I couldn't help but look up.

The dense branches and leaves, woven into a fine net, made a rustling sound under the night breeze, and between the branches and leaves, there seemed to be something, flashing from time to time.

Just as I was looking upwards, a cold hand was placed on my shoulder.

My heart sank, and the Martial King whip flung backwards violently, and at the same time quickly retreated a few steps, maintaining a vigilant posture.

It's just that when I saw the person in front of me clearly, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

"Mr. Liao!"

What appeared in front of me was Liao Xian'er and the five bodyguards who followed her!

"Mr. Cheng, we meet again,"

Liao Xian'er smiled faintly: "It seems that we are really destined." ”

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect to see Mr. Liao here, it's so unexpected."

I quickly put away the Martial King Whip and arched my hand.

"Boy, how did you get here?"

The big tiger next to Liao Xian'er shouted coldly: "This Heishui Village is not something that anyone can find, are you following us?" ”

Although what Dahu said was right, I did find this place by following them, but in front of Liao Xian'er, I naturally couldn't admit it.

"Friend, it's rude for you to say this, you can find Blackwater Village, why can't I?"

Dahu asked, "Then how did you find here?" ”

I sneered, "I naturally have my own channels, why should I report to you?" ”

"You!"

The big tiger was about to get angry, but Liao Xian'er had already stretched out his hand and blocked him behind him.

"Big Tiger, don't make trouble for no reason!"

Under Liao Xian'er's reprimand, Dahu could only glare at me fiercely and retreated to the back.

"Mr. Cheng, since you're here, let's not talk in secret, and your goal is also characterless, right?"

Under Liao Xian'er's gaze, I nodded, which was considered a default.

"Okay, since we all have a common goal, why don't we work together first?"

Liao Xian'er looked at me and said with a smile.

"Oh? What is the cooperation law? ”

I asked, puzzled.

"This Blackwater Village is full of weirdness, and I think, sneaking here, there must be people from other sects, and after the characters appear, there will definitely be fierce competition."

"I think we can work together to find the characters first, and as for how to distribute them in the end, then it will be up to each of us to do it."

This Liao Xian'er is a straightforward person, she didn't hide it, and directly said her thoughts.

When I think about it, I think she has a point.

Now that Lonnie and the others have not arrived, I have no chance of winning by myself and fighting with those people from the Hidden Sect who have not yet appeared.

What's more, this Blackwater Village is indeed quite weird, maybe something terrible exists, and it is best to find an ally at this time.

I have a good impression of this Liao Xian'er, at least judging from her previous actions, she is not a sinister and cunning person, and there is no harm in choosing to cooperate with her for the time being.

"Okay, I promise you, let's look for no characters together!"

I nodded, and agreed to Liao Xian'er's proposal.

"Mr. Cheng, I don't know what your plans are next?"

Seeing that I had agreed to the request for an alliance, Liao Xian'er continued to ask.

"Tomorrow the village chief's son gets married, a wedding banquet will be held, and there should be clues at that time."

This clue is not a secret, so I shared it without reservation, so that I could better gain Liao Xian'er's trust.

"There will indeed be clues at tomorrow's wedding banquet, but when the time comes, people from other sects will definitely appear, we may not be able to seize the opportunity, I do have an idea......"

Liao Xian'er said with a mysterious expression: "We can go to the village chief's house now to investigate." ”

I was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted to Liao Xian'er's intentions.

Since the clue will appear in the village chief's house, there must be some secret hidden in his home, and taking this opportunity to find out that secret first will definitely help us find the characterless.

"Okay, let's go now!"

The discussion was decided, so I went with Liao Xian'er and groped along the path outside the village, because I had asked the eldest sister before, so soon, we came to the door of the village chief's house.

Taking advantage of the dark night, a few people easily climbed over the fence, rolled on the ground, and came to the courtyard of the village chief's house.

It was pitch black in the hut in front of it, but in the side room next to it, there was still a candlelight, and two figures were reflected in the papier-mâché window, looking like they were talking about something.

Liao Xian'er and I glanced at each other, and at the same time groped through, lying in the corner of the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

"Xiao Shu, I get married tomorrow, and in a year and a half, I will have a big fat boy, and we can live a stable life as a family."

An old voice said with great anticipation.

Needless to say, this should be the village chief.

"Dad, I don't want to get married, why are you forcing me!"

Immediately, a young man's voice came, full of resentment.

This should be the son of the village chief, that is, the protagonist of tomorrow's wedding banquet, Xiao Shu.

But why did the father and son quarrel at this time?
