In the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang, there is a huge Zhuangzi built by the mountains at this time, and the lights in this Zhuangzi are brilliant at this time, and there is no difference between it and the daytime. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Dad, our Zhuangzi has already selected the personnel to leave the station!" In the main hall of a large mansion in the middle of Zhuangzi, a middle-aged man whispered to the old man sitting on the Taishi chair.
"Well, nothing will happen, right?" said the old man, opening his eyes.
"Don't worry, Dad, no, this kid Chen Chong has already cultivated the Tiger Fist to the realm of entering the house, you must know that although the Tiger Fist is only a crippled third-rate martial art, the power is also good. The middle-aged man said proudly.
"That's good, let's go down and prepare, tomorrow the people from Jiuzhuang and Eighteen Villages will come here, and we can't lose face. The old man nodded and said.
"Yes, Dad!" the middle-aged man bowed and withdrew.
From the conversation between the two, it can be seen that they are the real owners of this Crouching Tiger Village, the Chen family, at the helm.

On a wide avenue, an old man with a white beard and five teenagers walked slowly in front, followed by a team of young adults pushing two carts of goods.
"Grandpa the village chief, when will we get to Crouching Tiger Village?"
"Hahahaha, little cow, don't worry, there are still three days before the New Year's Festival, we will definitely arrive at Crouching Tiger Village on time!" the old man touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile.
"Hehehehe, don't I want to meet people from other villages soon. The boy said embarrassedly.
This old man and five teenagers are Niu Xiaoniu who set off from Niujia Village to Crouching Tiger Village to participate in the New Year's Festival, and they have been walking along the avenue for half a day under the leadership of the village chief, so Niu Xiaoniu couldn't help but ask. Behind them was a procession of people carrying goods to Crouching Tiger Village and other villages to trade goods.
"Little Niu, don't worry, Crouching Tiger Village is far away from us, you will be able to see it then, Crouching Tiger Village is much more meat than our Niujia Village!" Niu Dalei patted Niu Xiaoniu's shoulder and said. Last year, Niu Dalei also came to participate in this annual festival, but he was brushed off in the first round.
"Hehehehehehe, I know," Niu Xiaoniu said with a smile: "But the village chief, grandpa, why is this Crouching Tiger Village called Crouching Tiger Village?
The first time he left the village and saw the outside world, Niu Xiaoniu was more curious about everything, and asked this and that, but fortunately, his performance was like the performance of a child, and everyone was happy to explain to him to relieve the boredom of hurrying.
"Silly boy, the reason why Crouching Tiger Village is called Crouching Tiger Village is because it is built on the mountain, and the mountain he relies on looks like a lying tiger from a distance, and secondly, because when the Crouching Tiger Village was built, it encountered a fierce tiger attack, and the ancestor of the Chen family just stood forward, and the fierce tiger obediently lay down in front of it. The village chief explained to Niu Xiaocalf.
"Oh, so that's the case" Niu Xiaoniu suddenly realized, although no matter how much water there is, Niu Xiaoniu knows that some strong people can really rely on their momentum to reach the point of making the beast succumb,
In the previous life, Niu Xiaoniu had seen it, and it was the grandfather who picked him up, although his grandfather only made a Tibetan mastiff succumb, but this also reflected from the side that it was not impossible to do.
"Grandpa the village chief, there is someone ahead!" After coming to an intersection, Niu Xiaoniu suddenly shouted loudly, and the others heard Niu Xiaoniu's words, and immediately took out some iron forks and stood in front of the two carts to guard against it.
"Don't worry, it's okay, it's from Lijia Village!" the village chief hurriedly said after seeing it clearly.
Hearing the words of the village chief, everyone put away the iron fork in their hands.
And the village chief also walked up quickly at this time, and laughed when he was far away: "Hahahaha, Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a year, and my body is still so tough!"
"Hahahaha Brother Niu, you're not bad," the old man opposite the village chief also replied with a laugh, but after seeing Niu Xiaoniu and the others walking over, he continued: "Yo, this is the person you are participating in the New Year's Festival this time? And such a young child? I said Brother Niu, he shouldn't be too old, right?"
The village chief of Lijia Village directly didn't believe the true age of Niu Xiaoniu, so he thought of a reason that people themselves were convinced of.
"Hahahaha Brother Li, you can't say much about this, anyway, you'll know when the time comes," After that, the village chief looked at the few young men and women following behind Village Chief Li, and said with a smile: "Your little girl is, and she is getting more and more smart, how about it, do you want to get married?"
The words of the village chief directly made a little girl behind the old man on the opposite side blush, although she was wearing animal skin clothes, but she couldn't hide her slender figure, only twelve or thirteen years old, Niu Xiaoniu couldn't believe that it would develop so well.
However, Niu Xiaoniu noticed more than this, he also noticed that when walking, the other four people would unconsciously lag behind the girl, which made Niu Xiaoniu instantly know that this girl was the leader of these people.
"Hahahaha Brother Niu, your abacus is really good, but I promised my granddaughter to let her choose her husband by herself and will not force her. The old man said with a kind face.
Then the two groups of people came together and slowly walked towards Crouching Tiger Village, Lijia Village, like Niujia Village, there are Qingzhuang escorting two carts of goods, it seems that they are also exchanging some items, because at this time of year, some merchants will come to Zhuangzi, who holds the New Year's Festival, to buy animal skins and other goods.
Two days later, everyone came to Crouching Tiger Village, where the mountain peak is really like a lying tiger, looking at the eyes of several juniors.
The two-day itinerary also made the juniors of the two villages familiar with it, the granddaughter of the village chief Li is named Li Wan, although she is wearing animal skins, but she does not have a little fierce spirit, but shows a small jasper temperament, and several people in Niujia Village are watering, of course, Niu Xiaoniu is not among them.
"Welcome to Old Man Niu and Old Man Li to Crouching Tiger Village!"
Just as they came to the door of Crouching Tiger Village, the person who was probably in charge of the reception greeted them loudly.
"Hahahaha, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to be polite, I don't know how Brother Chen is?" said the village chief with a smile.
"Old man Niu, my father is talking to Old Man Tie in the main hall of the village, but the little nephew is still here to greet other old men, and he can't lead you over, so he can only let others lead the way!"
