It was just past noon and the sun was already slightly westerly.

He Fang fell on the side of the road and saw an old farmer who was farming in the field, so he stepped forward and saluted, "Hello old man." ”

When the old farmer heard the voice, he straightened up and took off the hat that shaded the sun, turned to look at Hefang, squinted his eyes because of the dazzling sunlight, and said to Hefang: "This son shouts that the old man doesn't know what's going on." ”

He Fang asked: "May I ask the old man if you know a person named Xie Ziming in the village, he just came back a few days ago, and I came to look for him." ”

The old farmer shook his head and said, "Xie Ziming, but I don't know this person, outsiders often come to the village, and I don't pay attention to it." However, Childe can go to the village chief for help, and there is basically nothing he doesn't know about the big and small situations in the village. ”

He was stunned for a moment, but outsiders often came to such a remote mountain village? After asking the old peasant where the village chief's house was, he thanked him and turned to leave.

Liu Manrou and Di Xiangtong had already caught up, and after He Fang told them the news they had just gotten, Di Xiangtong immediately said excitedly: "Those outsiders must have come to find Shenshui! ”

Of course, He Fang would not naively have an idea with Di Xiangtong, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he could only put aside his doubts and walk to the village chief first.

After the old farmer in the field left, he also took up his farm tools and walked towards the village as if he had just finished the work in the field. It was only in the place where he had just worked that a human finger peeked out of the soil beneath the farm, still trembling slightly.

He Fang walked on the village road, and there was always an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. When the villagers he met along the way saw them, their eyes kept falling on them, and even after turning a certain corner, it gave him the feeling that their gaze was seeing themselves through the wall.

He lowered his voice and said to the second daughter, "Do you think this village is a little weird?"

Liu Manrou replied: "No, it's just a very ordinary remote mountain village, what's weird?"

He Fang frowned and said, "As soon as we came in, everyone stared at us non-stop, don't you think it's strange." ”

Di Xiangtong said indifferently: "Senior Brother He, you think too much, if outsiders come to a remote mountain village like this, it will generally cause the villagers to watch, which is normal." And all the way are ordinary people who don't know martial arts, what are you afraid of as a congenital master. ”

He Fang didn't say anything to them again, the old farmer at the entrance of the village had clearly said that outsiders often came to this village, and according to this, the villagers should have become accustomed to outsiders, not to mention that he felt that the villagers looked at them not just the feeling of looking at strangers.

After all, it was the first time for the two junior sisters to walk the rivers and lakes, and they had to be more careful.

The three of them soon arrived at the village chief's house, although Shenshui Village is located in a remote area and the transportation is inconvenient, but they have not seen a few poor families along the way, and the village chief's house is even more green bricks and tiles, and it looks quite magnificent in the whole village.

After He Fang shouted outside the door, a beautiful girl soon came out of the house and came to the door of the courtyard and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

He Fang saluted and said: "I've seen the girl, may I ask if this is the village chief's residence, we have something to come to the village chief." ”

The beautiful girl looked them up and down a few times, then turned around and shouted, "Grandpa, it's an outsider looking for you again." Soon, a wealthy old man who looked more like the village chief came out of the house and shouted, "Xiao Jia quickly invite a few guests into the house." ”

The three of them followed the girl named Xiaojia into the house, and the village chief said, "I don't know what the three young heroes are here?"

He Fang replied: "That's the case, I have a fellow disciple who is from your village, and he went back to the village to visit his relatives a few days ago, but he didn't return for ten days, so I don't have to worry about coming to see it." ”

The village chief sighed and said: "I don't know who the surname of the young man's junior brother is, but if he has an impression." ”

"My junior brother's name is Xie Ziming. He Fang said.

Xiao Jia brought a tea cup from the back of the house at this time and handed it to the three of them.

The three of them thanked them one by one, the village chief was still thinking hard, and Xiao Jia had already spoken: "You are here to find the brother of the Xie family." ”

He Fang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, does the girl know my junior brother?"

Xiao Jia nodded and said to the village chief: "Grandpa, you have such a memory, what a few guests are looking for is the third brother of the Xie family." ”

The village chief patted his head at this time, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that a few distinguished guests are looking for Xie Xiaosan, and there is no one else except Xie Xiaosan, who has just returned to the village and has the surname Jie, and his head is getting worse and worse when he is older." ”

He Fang had also heard Xie Ziming mention that he was the third in the family, and what the village chief said about Xie Xiaosan must be that he was correct, so he nodded and said, "It's him." ”

The village chief smiled bitterly: "It's really unfortunate, don't be surprised when it comes to young heroes, but Xie Xiaosan was delayed by things in the village." The village explained to the three of them.

In the mouth of the village chief, it turned out that a giant bear appeared in this mountain forest during this time, with rough skin and thick flesh, and it was extremely powerful, and it always attacked the people and animals in the village. In just half a month, it dragged away five villagers, plus more than a dozen pigs and sheep.

The people in the village were panicked, so they organized a few hunters to hunt it, but they didn't expect that ordinary weapons could not even pierce the fur of a giant bear. Just as he was about to organize people to go out of the mountain to report to the official to solve the problem, Xie Ziming came back, heard about the incident, and volunteered to help the village solve the matter, so he and several hunters went into the mountain forest to hunt the giant bear. The mountains and forests were too big, and the few of them went out to look for two days, but the dry food they brought was not enough, and they came back to replenish the dry food and burrowed into the mountains and forests, and they did not come back.

He Fang and the three of them relieved their doubts a little, but they were not worried about Xie Ziming's safety. Xie Ziming is already in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Day After Tomorrow, and he can only deal with a brute with rough scalp and thick flesh.

The village chief proposed: "Xie Xiaosan is going to eliminate harm for the village, and the village can be regarded as the light of your sect, so the three young heroes might as well stay in the old man's house at night, and wait until Xie Xiaosan comes back to make plans." ”

He Fang and the three of them did not refuse, and agreed after a bother.

Then the three of them went to clean up the guest room with Xiao Jia, leaving the village chief to sit alone in the lobby, and the village chief had a weird smile on his face at this time, sitting there smiling stupidly, and saliva was flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He Fang was talking to the village chief all afternoon, and when the villagers stared at them non-stop, the village waved his hand and said: "Every time outsiders come, it's like this, don't care about it." ”

In the huge courtyard, it seems that only the village chief and his granddaughter Xiaojia live. In the evening, Xiao Jia cooked a table of good dishes and entertained the three of them.

After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms, Di Xiangtong lay on the bed, but her mind was still full of the divine water of youth, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so she simply got up and walked towards Liu Manrou's house. When she walked outside Liu Manrou's house, she found that the lights were still on, and under the shadows of the lights, Di Xiangtong saw that there seemed to be other people in the house.

Curious, she leaned in and peeked through the crack in the window.
