Chapter 4 Pressing Forward
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed, during which Shangguan Feiyu has quietly come a few times, she seems to have forgotten her father's advice, every time they meet, the two chat very happily, as if they have endless words.
The weather is getting warmer, and although Shangguan Feiyu, who has lost his cotton clothes, is still young, he already looks slim. Walking around, the coarse cloth skirt moves with the wind, like a light and swaying lotus, it is conceivable that this girl will definitely be a big beauty when she grows up.
On this day, Luo Yan went to the mountain to refine his body as usual, and when he just started kicking the wooden stake, he suddenly saw billowing smoke rising from the place where he lived at the bottom of the mountain, and he immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly rushed down the mountain.
When he returned home, all he saw were burned-out wooden rafts and low walls, and all three huts had been reduced to ashes.
Outside the house, Shangguan Hong, Shangguan Feiyu and some villagers in the village were carrying wooden barrels, their faces were black, and they knew at a glance that they had been smoked during the firefighting.
Village Chief Huang Hanshan and his son Huang Yuntao were also in the crowd, not only did they have no traces of smoke on their faces, but they were also smiling with a gloating expression.
Luo Yan thought that the jade pendant was still in the secret compartment at the head of the bed, so he ran inside desperately.
Shangguan Hong, who was standing in front of him, was worried that the collapsed roof would hurt him, so he hurriedly grabbed it.
"Yan'er, don't go in yet, it's dangerous inside. ”
Luo Yan wiped a handful of tears, clenched his fists, glared at Huang Yuntao's father and son, and guessed the cause of the fire in his heart.
The villagers around him were afraid that he would do something stupid, so they hurriedly surrounded him and deliberately separated him from the village chief, in fact, they also understood what was going on in their hearts, and felt sad and indignant for Luo Yan.
But no one can do anything, everyone can only abuse in their hearts, but they dare not stand up and accuse. After all, the village chief is a monk in the foundation building period, and no one in the village is invincible.
In fact, everyone in the village knew that the village chief had long wanted the land of Luo Yan's family, and some people even saw that Huang Yuntao deliberately set the fire.
But even so, they didn't dare to say it explicitly, otherwise they would be enemies of the village chief, and they wouldn't want to live in peace in the village.
After a moment of silence, the village chief Huang Hanshan stepped forward and said, "Luo Yan, why are you so careless, you burned down the house with a fire." Now there is nothing, if you had listened to the old man a few years ago and gave me this land, what happened today would not have happened, right?
Now that the house is gone, and the land can't be left empty soon, you can see what is still burned out and cleaned up, and in three days, I will send someone to take over the place. ”
"Why! This is my land!"
"Do you have a title deed certificate? Show it to me. The village chief sneered.
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, remembering the title deed hidden under the bed, and instantly understood that the other party set fire to burn the title deed, so that he could justifiably take over the land.
"You...... Too much deception!" his hateful teeth clucked.
"I can't take it out, okay, see that your house has been burned down, and as the village chief, I have to do something. I see that you like to run back to the mountains, so I will allow you to build a thatched house on the mountain or something, and I will not charge you land rent. ”
After saying this, he didn't look at everyone's expressions, and led Huang Yuntao away.
"You ......"
"Forget it, Yan'er, don't say it. Shangguan Hong shook his head and sighed: "Let's go to my house first, I still have a side room, but it is broken, you will live first." ”
"Brother Luo Yan, don't be sad, go to our house. ”
Shangguan Feiyu heard his father's words and came over to grab Luo Yan's arm.
Luo Yan stopped his tears, looked at the blackened low wall, and then looked at Shangguan's father and daughter and the villagers who helped to put out the fire, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said:
"Thank you folks today, I have written down the kindness of the firefighting, and I will repay it in the future.
Uncle Shangguan, Sister Feiyu, I won't go to your house to disturb, I'll tidy up here first, and then accompany my adoptive father, and I'll talk about the rest in a few days!"
When everyone saw him say this, they couldn't say anything, and then everyone dispersed, and in the end, only Shangguan's father and daughter remained.
Shangguan Hong opened his mouth several times to say something more, but finally endured it again.
In the end, he comforted Luo Yan a few more words, saying that if you need anything, you can go to him for help, and then took Shangguan Feiyu's little hand and left.
Feiyu wanted to stay, but Shangguan Hong didn't let her, her crying eyes were red, and she was finally dragged away by her father.
After everyone left, Luo Yan stood in front of the burned house, thinking about everything that had happened in the past two years.
has been bullied by the village chief's father and son for such a long time, and he has endured it again and again, but he didn't expect them to be so vicious, and even burned his home to him for their own selfishness...
How can you be a person if you don't take revenge?
Looking at the house that had turned to ashes, Luo Yan, who had calmed down, held the broken sword left by his father tightly with his hand in his sleeve, thinking about how to step into the immortal gate?
He knows very well that he can't fight Huang Yuntao's father and son with his current self.
Only by stepping into the immortal gate and embarking on the immortal road that countless people dream of can there be the possibility of revenge.
......
On the other side, chasing the golden light emitted by the Swift Slash, Huyan Peiqing came all the way to the Wolong Ridge, and has been searching in this vast mountain for more than two months, and has not yet found what power echoes with the sword in his hand.
Just today, when she continued to search on the mountain, she suddenly saw a person running down the mountain in a hurry, and the thin back was somewhat similar to the calm young man in the linen rough clothes, thin body, wide forehead and straight nose that appeared in her previous dream.
So she hid her breath and quietly followed.
When she witnessed what happened in the village with her own eyes, her face was blue with anger, and her body trembled slightly, if it weren't for the agreement that people from the fairy realm could not interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, she would have already taken action to punish the evil.
Huyan Peiqing endured the anger in his heart and watched everything silently from a distance.
......
"Luo Yan, are you hungry? This is the porridge and rice that your mother brought you, you can eat it while it's hot. ”
Luo Yan looked up, and the person who came was a young man with a sleaked face, he was Li Xingwen of the village, and his mother was a well-known iron rooster in the village. At first glance, he knew that this meal was not given by his mother, but must have sent his own share.
"Brother Xingwen, I'm not hungry, you can eat. Luo Yan excused himself.
Li Xingwen didn't say anything, put the bowl on the ground, and sat next to him.
After a moment of silence, he glanced left and right, seemed to have a lot of courage, and whispered:
"Today I saw Huang Yuntao's bastard lighting a fire in your house, I was about to shout, but my mother covered my mouth and dragged me home, repeatedly warning me not to talk nonsense, brother I'm sorry, you won't blame me, right?"
Looking at Li Xingwen's guilty expression, Luo Yan's heart warmed and patted him on the shoulder:
"How can I blame you, your mother did the right thing, the village chief is powerful, if you really come out to help me speak, you will definitely be troubled by the village chief's family in the future, so don't blame your aunt. ”
Only when you are the most depressed do you know who is really good to you, and at this moment, he is really happy to have a good friend like Li Xingwen who cares about him.
Not long after, Li Xingwen also went back, and Luo Yan was left alone in the east of the entire village.
He walked into the ruins and pulled out the jade pendant from the ashes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
