The group rode up the hill, and soon came to a gentle slope surrounded by dark green trees and scattered with dozens of wooden houses. This is the Three Mountains Society.

Although the name of the Three Mountains Club is a cottage, it is better to say that it is a small mountain village. Zhang Fan saw from a distance that there was a slightly larger room in the middle of dozens of wooden houses in front of him, and there was a spacious open space in front of the house, where several children and teenagers were playing.

Seeing this, the bull demon said to Zhang Fan: "Sect leader, it's time to go to the village." Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this, and then everyone turned over and dismounted. At this time, several six or seven-year-old children who were playing saw Zhang Fan and his party coming, and they all shouted excitedly to this side: "Uncle Mo, Uncle Wang, are you back? Have you brought us a saber?" All the children showed a simple smile on their faces, and said loudly in unison: "Uncle Wang is the best for us." King Niu smiled: "Okay, as long as you are obedient, Uncle Wang will bring you things in the future." Let's go back to the house. Then the Ox King was surrounded by all the children and walked to the back of the wooden house.

At this time, two sturdy-looking swarthy young men came to the side of the bull demon and shouted, "Daddy (Uncle Demon)." Seeing this, the bull demon showed a faint smile on his black face, and ordered: "Hu'er, little leopard, you take the next few guests to the stable." The two young men nodded when they heard this, and then timidly said to the maidservants: "Sisters, please come with us, the stables are behind." As he spoke, he pointed to the back of the hut. The maidservants nodded when they heard this, and then led the horses and followed the two teenagers away.

Seeing this, the Bull Demon turned his head to Zhang Fan and the two and said, "Sect Master." Miss, let's go inside. Zhang Fan nodded when he heard this. Then the two followed the bull demon to the back of the house.

Zhang Fan and the three of them turned a corner along the right side of the wooden house and came to a large house that was somewhat old. The Bull Demon turned around and said, "Sect Master, this is my home. It's a little shabby, and I've wronged the sect leader. Zhang Fan smiled: "It's okay, let's go in." Immediately, Zhang Fan took the girl in the green dress and followed the bull demon into the wooden house, through the front hall and the patio, and came to the back hall.

As soon as Zhang Fan entered the house, he saw a girl in a green skirt coming up, she glanced at Zhang Fan and the girl in the green skirt timidly, and then shouted to the bull demon: "Daddy, are you back?" The bull demon stretched out his big hand and stroked her head. smiled and asked, "Qing'er, where is your mother?" Qing'er pointed to the side door next to the hall and said, "Mother and a few aunts are cooking in the house." Niu Mo smiled, pointed at Zhang Fan and said, "These two are our honored guests, Qing'er go and make them a cup of tea." Qing'er replied obediently: "Yes, Daddy." With that, he ran to the kitchen at the side door.

At this time, the bull demon turned his head and said to Zhang Fan: "Sect leader, miss, he is the youngest daughter of his subordinate, Qing'er." Come in and sit down. As he spoke, he pointed to the two chairs in the middle of the hall near where the fire was blazing. Zhang Fan smiled: "Okay." Then he took the girl in the green dress and sat down by the fire.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, Niu Mo immediately found a chair and sat down. However, he looked at his slightly old and humble room, and his face was a little embarrassed and restless, and he did not know what to do for a moment. Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Bull Demon." You don't have to care. When I was a child, I lived in a house that was even more modest than yours, what are you worried about. Hearing this, Niu Demon smiled reluctantly: "As long as the sect leader doesn't dislike it." After all, we have three mountain meetings because there are too few people. It's a bit far from the city, otherwise you can buy some good furniture. Zhang Fan smiled: "You don't have to worry. When we come back from the martial arts tournament this time, you will go to the church and get some silver taels. Fix this house. Hearing this, Niu Mo's face turned embarrassed, and he said: "Sect Master, it's not that our Sanshan Society doesn't have silver taels, but it's too far away from Sanshan Town, even if there are silver taels, it's difficult to use them." Besides, we rarely use gold and silver. ”

At this time, the girl in the green dress sitting next to Zhang Fan smiled: "Uncle, are you kidding? In this world, as long as you have silver taels, how can there be no reason." When I was at home, every time I went to the city to play, I had to spend nearly a thousand taels of silver. Hearing this, the Bull Demon smiled bitterly and said, "How dare the Bull Demon deceive Miss? Our ancestors of the Three Mountains Society have lived in this big mountain for generations, and except for going out to sell herbs and brute beasts, we basically don't go out at other times." The girl was even more surprised and asked, "Uncle, if you don't go to the city, where do you go to buy food and clothing?" We grow corn, sweet potatoes and hemp, feed chickens, ducks, pigs and cows, and go to the mountains from time to time to hunt some wild animals, so we don't have to spend a lot of money to buy things outside. The girl covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, and then said, "Uncle, do you learn from that brute beast and live an isolated life? Don't those children want toys, don't they eat rock sugar gourds, and girls won't buy jewelry?" The girl burst into laughter when she heard this, and then the bull demon said: "Your children are brave, I remember that our children there will never use kitchen knives as toys." ”

At this time, Qing'er came to Zhang Fan with two cups of tea, and said timidly: "Big brother, drink tea." Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you." Then she came to the girl in the green dress and said, "Sister, drink tea." When the girl in the green dress heard this, she waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Sister, sister, I'm not thirsty." Qing'er was stunned when she heard this. Seeing this, the old man blushed and said, "Miss, we only have these wild teas in our house." When the girl heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, uncle." I don't like tea. As he spoke, he waved his hand and said again that he really didn't know how to drink tea. Seeing this, Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Little sister, she doesn't like to drink tea, so you can bring it to your father." Qing'er had a look of disappointment on her face when she heard this, and then nodded and brought the tea to the Bull Demon.

At this time, the girl in the green dress saw that Qing'er was fine, so she stood up and said to Qing'er: "Sister, sister and you will go outside to talk." Qing'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her face showed joy. Then he waved his hand again and said, "Sister." Qing'er is going to help her mother cook, and she can't accompany you for the time being. The girl in the green dress was shocked when she heard this. Said: "This ......" Seeing this, Niu Mo smiled and said: "Qing'er, since Miss wants to talk to you, you can go." Your mom is fine. When Qing'er heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Thank you, Daddy." ”

When the girl in the green dress heard this, she walked over, pulled Qing'er out, and said, "Sister Qing'er, let's go out to talk." Qing'er heard this. said, "Sister, it's getting dark outside, you can follow me to the room." The girl in the green dress smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the room and talk." Then the two men went out of the house and went to the wing room on the right.

As soon as Zhang Fan saw the two of them walk out, they talked endlessly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, the bull demon said: "Qing'er, this girl is a little scared, and she smiled. Zhang Fan didn't care when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Everyone has grown up from childhood to adulthood. It's nothing. ”

At this time, the boy named "Hu'er" walked in. The bull demon hurriedly asked: "Hu'er, are the horses closed, have the materials been fed, is there anyone watching?" The young man replied: "Daddy, don't worry, Grandpa Niu is in charge of the horses." He'll take care of it. The Bull Demon nodded, and then asked, "What about those guests, why didn't they come back?" The young man replied, "Daddy, don't worry." The sisters were all taken to the east wing by the younger sister. Hearing this, Niu Mo smiled and said, "Okay." The boy said, "Daddy is fine, I'll go to the backyard." Hearing this, Niu Mo's face twitched slightly. Then he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Go ahead. Then the boy hurried through the back door and went out.

The Bull Demon glanced at Zhang Fan and said, "Don't be surprised, sect leader, that little cub is a little scared of life." Zhang Fan smiled: "I know, don't care." At this moment, several footsteps came from outside the door. Zhang Fan turned around and saw King Niu and a beautiful woman in a green skirt walking in. Seeing this, King Niu hurriedly said, "My subordinates have seen the sect leader. Zhang Fan nodded, and then waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite. Immediately, the king of the cow pointed to the beautiful woman and said, "Sect leader, this is my daughter-in-law's camellia." Then he said to the beautiful woman: "Camellia, come and see the sect leader." When the beautiful woman heard this, she bowed to Zhang Fan Yingying and said, "The concubine Camellia has seen the sect leader. Zhang Fan smiled when he heard this: "No need to be polite." When the beautiful woman heard this, she thanked her, "Thank you, sect leader." ”

Seeing this, the Bull Demon stood up, took a few chairs and handed them to the Bull King and said, "Second brother, brother and sister, come and sit down." Seeing that there was only one handsome sect leader and two reckless men in the house, the beautiful woman pointed to the door of the side room and said to the king of the cow, "Husband, I will help my sister-in-law prepare dinner." Seeing this, the bull king said, "Okay, let's go." Then the beautiful woman departed, and the king of the ox sat down.

At this time, Zhang Fan saw that the Bull Demon and the Bull King were not talking, so he said to the Bull King: "Bull King, why don't you accompany your daughter-in-law more at home?" If we were to do something at this time, we would have made those boys laugh. Zhang Fan smiled slightly when he heard this, and didn't ask again. Seeing this, the Bull Demon said, "The sect leader doesn't need to be surprised. The king of the cow just married his daughter-in-law at the beginning of this year, and in the first few days, they disturbed the village night and night, and were laughed at by the children, so he was a little scared when you mentioned it. When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled again: "King Niu is so blessed, I didn't expect to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law." Hearing this, King Niu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the praise." My daughter-in-law was picked up by me from the road, and it didn't cost anything, so she was a little pretty. Zhang Fan smiled lightly when he heard this, and thought: "This barbarian, who said that the daughter-in-law who picked it up must be beautiful, it's really interesting." Hearing this, Niu Demon also smiled and said, "The sect leader may not know that because our Sanshan Society is far away from the town, girls from other villages rarely marry over. Therefore, the young people in the village generally have to go to the bottom of the mountain to fight the autumn breeze in the road when they marry their daughters-in-law. Sometimes the caravan is frightened by us, they will run away, and we will also get some supplies. If they are lucky, some rich people will leave their handmaidens behind, so that the young men in the village will have daughters-in-law. Zhang Fan was surprised when he heard this, and said: "According to what you say, a young man in your village can't marry many daughters-in-law." Hearing this, the Bull Demon smiled and said, "Sect Master, how can it be so simple. This happens, but it's rare. King Niu blocked the road for more than 20 years before he married his daughter-in-law. Zhang Fan laughed and said, "Haha, I see." The Bull Demon and the Bull King also laughed.

At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in from the side door and said, "Sect Master, husband, second brother, it's time to eat." Hearing this, the Bull Demon replied, "Okay." Then they got up and walked with the beautiful woman to the side door. (To be continued......)
