Chapter 282: Gujiazhai
The baggage that the merchant held in his hands was not very large, and it contained fragments of gold and silver, as well as silver tickets, elixirs, and even daggers and other weapons, many of which were stained with blood, and were obviously taken from the corpse.
Although Wei Changfeng has no spiritual cleanliness, and it is not that he has not taken the spoils of war from the enemy, he really doesn't like this thing, and said: "I don't want it, you can take it and divide it, half of it will be given to this old man." ”
After a pause, he added: "Leave a little more for the store." ”
The merchant originally thought that it was to please Wei Changfeng, but he didn't expect Wei Changfeng to appreciate it at all, and he was stunned.
The old man in cloth from Gujiazhai was sincerely afraid, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare"
"What is there to dare"
Wei Changfeng said with a smile: "It's a convulsive fee, you may not know how difficult it is to live in Yunhai City, and this money is not enough for a long time, but at least it can ensure food and clothing when you first go, so you don't have to be polite." ”
These mountain people are very simple, they don't understand the difficulties of living in the city, Yunhai City is not comparable to ordinary cities, and it took a lot of effort to gain a foothold when he first came.
is the so-called helping people to the end, so he simply borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.
The merchant reacted and hurriedly divided the silver and silver tickets and gave them to the old man.
The old man was naturally grateful.
He pulled the beautiful girl, who was his own granddaughter, and said, "Master, let my granddaughter Xiu'er take you to Gujiazhai, the conditions in the village are not good, let her stay by your side and serve conveniently." ”
"Ahh
The girl snorted softly, and a faint flush immediately appeared on her pretty face.
She bowed her head shyly. Then he raised it again and secretly glanced at Wei Changfeng. His eyes became watery.
Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, "The old man's kindness is understood. Or change someone else, after all, it's inconvenient. ”
Hearing his refusal, the girl's little face suddenly turned pale.
The old man in cloth clothes smiled and said: "Master, my Xiu'er is very sensible, and her hands and feet are very diligent, you should help her, let her serve by your side, and I will let her come back when I return to Yunhai City." What do you think?"
This old man tried his best to promote his granddaughter, naturally selfishly.
Wei Changfeng is a disciple of Yunhaimen at a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future, and it is rare that he is chivalrous and kind, not the kind of arrogant and domineering person.
The most important thing is that the old man is very confident in his granddaughter, you must know that in the entire Gujiazhai, she is the most beautiful flower, otherwise she would not have attracted the coveted of the thief before.
If you can let your granddaughter follow Wei Changfeng, even if it is to be a maid. It's also much better than working in the shop in Yunhai City, and if you are lucky enough to become Wei Changfeng's concubine in the future. That's really flying on the branches!
What kind of character Wei Changfeng is, how could he not understand the other party's thoughts.
But it's just a trivial matter, anyway, I want a guide, so I nodded and agreed.
It's a big deal to wait for the mission to be over, and then take it to Yunhai City and send it back.
The old man in cloth was very happy, and hurriedly pulled his granddaughter aside and said a lot of things, probably asking her to serve Wei Changfeng well.
The wind and rain outside gradually subsided, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sun shone on the earth through the gaps in the clouds.
After Wei Changfeng said goodbye to the people in Gujiazhai, he returned to the road.
It's just that there is one more person on the same mount.
This beautiful girl's name is Gu Xiu'er, and she has just turned fifteen years old this year, one year younger than Wei Changfeng.
It was the first time she had ridden a horse, and although it was controlled by Wei Changfeng, who was sitting behind her, when the horse began to gallop forward, she couldn't help but feel scared, and instinctively leaned back into Wei Changfeng's arms.
Wei Changfeng smelled a faint girlish fragrance, could feel the other party's strong heartbeat, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you won't fall with me, I still count on you to help me show the way!"
Gu Xiu'er's little face was so ashamed that she was about to drip blood, but she still bravely opened her eyes.
After gradually getting used to it, she became much bolder and began to guide Wei Changfeng.
It's not very far from Gujiazhai, and Wei Changfeng's horse is very fast, although it is carrying two people at the same time, and the road has become muddy, but the speed has not slowed down much.
Approaching dusk, at the end of the mountain road not far ahead, a village located in a mountain col appeared in Wei Changfeng's sight.
"Brother Wei"
Gu Xiu'er pointed to the village and said, "The front is the Gujia Village!"
She originally followed her grandfather and called Wei Changfeng "Master", but at the latter's insistence, she changed her name.
Gujiazhai is not very large, there are a total of more than 100 families of four or five hundred people, but the environment is good by the mountains and rivers, and the villagers usually rely on planting, gathering, fishing and hunting for a living, and their lives are peaceful.
However, the appearance of the demon beast has changed a qiē.
There are a few empty fishing boats docked next to the river, the large terraced fields on the hillside in front of the village are uncultivated, and there is not even half a figure around in broad daylight, revealing a bleak atmosphere.
The village is surrounded by stone walls, but the walls made of rocks are not very high, and it may be useful to guard against ordinary beasts and low-level demon beasts, but there is definitely nothing that can be done when it comes to strong points.
The wooden gate was tightly closed, and there were still swaying figures on the wall.
"Who?"
When Wei Changfeng took Gu Xiu'er to ride to the gate of the village, someone immediately poked his head out from above and asked loudly: "What are you doing in our Gujiazhai?"
The other party held a hunting bow in his hand and looked very vigilant.
Gu Xiu'er hurriedly said, "Is it Uncle An? I'm Xiu'er!"
"Xiu'er?"
The person on the wall looked at it and said in surprise: "It's really Xiu'er, open the door quickly!"
Soon, the gate creaked open, and four or five villagers walked out.
Wei Changfeng turned over and dismounted, and then hugged Gu Xiu'er down.
The villagers, all of whom were sturdy hunters, were surprised to see such a scene, and one of the middle-aged men asked, "Xiu'er, why are you back? What about your grandfather, and what about the others?"
"Uncle Ann"
Gu Xiu'er was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "This is the guard master of Yunhaimen, he came to our village to deal with the demon beasts on the order of the master, we met thieves on the road, or he saved everyone!"
"My grandfather took the others to Yunhai City and asked me to bring Master Wei to the village. ”
"Master Yunhaimen?"
The middle-aged man and the others were all taken aback, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The little one has eyes and no beads, please don't blame the master!"
Wei Changfeng said: "You're welcome, let's go in and talk about it." ”
Through these villagers, he clearly realized how high the status and prestige of being a disciple of Yunhaimen, even if it is a disciple of the outer sect, although it cannot be said that he is respected as a god by the other party, but it is not far behind!
The Guru of Yunhaimen is here!
With the arrival of Wei Changfeng, the news spread quickly throughout the village like wings, and the villagers came out of their residences one after another, standing on both sides of the road to watch.
They were first excited and looking forward to it, and then when they saw Wei Changfeng in a blue shirt, they were very disappointed and surprised, and they inevitably looked suspicious and whispered constantly.
Wei Changfeng looked too young, and he was not the kind of warrior with a tall waist and a tall waist, so he inevitably lacked deterrence in their eyes.
A gray-haired old man, accompanied by two hunters, hurried over to greet him.
"Gu Ming, the old master of the ancient family, has seen the master!"
He leaned on crutches and saluted to Wei Changfeng with a slight tremble: "We have four hundred and seventy-six people in Gujiazhai, and we have finally come to look forward to you!"
Wei Changfeng clasped his fists and saluted back: "The ancient village master does not need to be polite, in Xia Wei Changfeng, he is a disciple of the outer door of Yunhai Gate, and he was ordered to come to investigate the harm caused by the demon beasts of the ancient village, and please ask the village master to support him!"
"Of course, that's of course!"
Gu Ming said in a loud voice: "Please go to the old man's house to rest first." ”
As the owner of the ancient family, Gu Ming's home is undoubtedly the largest and best building in the village, with two entrances before and after, a courtyard and a front hall, and the bluestone black tiles are also good houses in Yunhai City.
Gu Ming's family is prosperous, there are six or seven sons and daughters, plus more than 20 wives and daughters-in-law and grandchildren, all of whom are called out to give Wei Changfeng a salute.
After the politeness, Wei Changfeng asked about the demon beast.
Gu Ming's answer was basically the same as what Wei Changfeng had heard from Gu Xiu'er's grandfather before.
Because many of the villagers have disappeared, many people in the village are now panicking, and many people plan to escape for refuge temporarily, but they are reluctant to leave their homes where they have lived for generations.
Accompanying Gu Ming was his eldest son Gu Zhuang, who was in his thirties and nearly forty years old, five big and three thick, dark-skinned, and spoke in a rough voice: "Master, what do you say is going on?"
Gu Zhuang himself is a Qi refining martial artist, probably looking at Wei Changfeng's young face and tender face, he is a little unimpressed with Wei Changfeng, although the title is very polite, but there is a hint of doubt in his tone.
As soon as he came up, he gave Wei Changfeng a problem!
And for his father Gu Ming's anxious eyes, he still pretended not to see it.
Interestingly, a lot of his attention fell on Gu Xiu'er beside Wei Changfeng.
Wei Changfeng said quietly: "What's the matter, I have to see it, since I am here, I will definitely not go back empty-handed, but first of all, you must cooperate with me, at least you can't make trouble!"
His voice was not loud, but his tone was unusually tough, with an unshakable meaning.
Gu Zhuang's face was a little ugly, but he didn't refute it.
Gu Ming hurriedly said: "Then it's troublesome, Master, as long as you speak, our Gujiazhai will give full support, and we will do as much as we can, and promise not to cause you trouble!"
