Chapter 18 Arrival

It was just after noon, and the sun was slightly westward.

He Fangluo was on the side of the road and saw an old farmer working in the field. He went forward and bowed, "Hello, old man."

When the old farmer heard the sound, he straightened up and took off his hat to protect the sun, turned around and looked at He Fang. He narrowed his eyes because of the dazzling sunlight and said to He Fang: "This young man called him "I don't know what happened."

He Fang asked: "Can you tell me that a man named Jie Ziming in the village just came back a few days ago, and I came to find him."

The old farmer shook his head and said, "Xie Ziming? I don't know this person. Outsiders often come to the village, and I have never paid attention to it. However, the young master can go to the village chief for help. There are basically no situations in the village, big or small, that he doesn't know."

He Fang was stunned. Outsiders often came to such a remote mountain village. After asking the old farmer for advice on where the village chief’s home was, he thanked him and turned around and left.

Liu Manrou and Di Xiangtong's two girls had already arrived. After He Fang told them the news they had just received, Di Xiangtong immediately said excitedly: "Those outsiders must be here to find Shenshui! Otherwise, who would like to come over such a small place far away?"

Of course, He Fang would not naively have the same idea as Di Xiangtong. He always felt something was wrong in his heart, but he could only let go of his doubts and walk towards the village chief.

After the old farmer in the field left, he was like he had just finished the work in the field and carried the farm tools and walked slowly towards the village. However, at the place where he had just worked, a human finger was exposed from the soil under the farm, and it was still trembling slightly.

He Fang walked on the small road in the village and always felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. After seeing them, his eyes were on them. Even after turning a corner, he gave him the feeling of their eyes passing through the wall and seeing themselves.

He lowered his voice and said to the two girls: "Do you think this village is a bit weird?"

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

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

Di Xiangtong said indifferently: "Senior Brother He, you have thought too much. If outsiders come to such remote mountain villages, they will generally attract the attention of villagers. This is normal. And they are ordinary people who know how to do martial arts along the way. What are you afraid of as a great master innate?"

He Fang didn't say anything to them anymore. The old farmer at the entrance of the village clearly said that outsiders often come to this village. According to this, the villagers should have become accustomed to outsiders, not to mention that the villagers' eyes at them are not just the simple feeling of looking at strangers.

It was the first time that the two junior sisters were walking around the world, so they had to be more careful.

The three of them quickly arrived at the village chief’s house. Although Shenshui Village is located in a remote and inconvenient transportation, they did not see many poor families along the way. The village chief’s house is even blue bricks and tiles, which looks quite grand in the entire village.

After He Fang shouted outside the door, a beautiful girl soon walked out of the house and came to the gate of the courtyard and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

He Fang Zuli said: "I have met a girl. Is this the village chief's residence? We have something to do to find the village chief."

The beautiful girl looked up and down at them for a few glances and turned around and shouted, "Grandpa, it's an outsider looking for you again." Soon a wealthy father-in-law who looked like a member of the house and walked out of the house and shouted, "Xiaojia, please invite several guests into the house."

The three of them followed the girl named Xiaojia into the house. The village chief bowed and said, "I wonder what the three young heroes are important to come?"

He Fang replied, "That's right. I have a junior brother from Guicun. I went back to the village to visit my relatives a few days ago, but I didn't go back for ten days. I'm worried about coming to take a look."

The village chief said, "I don't know who the young hero's junior brother is named? I see if I have any impression."

"My junior brother is Jie Ziming." He Fang said.

Xiaojia then brought a teacup from the back of the house and handed it to the three of them.

The three of them thanked each other, and the village chief was still thinking hard. Xiaojia had already said, "You are here to find Brother Jie."

He Fang was stunned and hurriedly said, "Yes, do the girl know my junior brother?"

Xiaojia nodded and said to the village chief: "Grandpa, you have a memory. What the guests are looking for is the third brother of the Jie family."

The village chief slapped his head and suddenly realized, "It turns out that the guests were looking for Jie Xiaosan. The surname Jie Xiaosan just returned to the village and was no longer the same as Jie Xiaosan. As he got older, his head became less and less effective."

He Fang had heard Jie Ziming mention that he was ranked third at home. The village chief said that Jie Xiaosan must be correct. He nodded and said, "It's him."

The village chief smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a coincidence. Young man said, don't be accustomed to it, but Jie Xiaosan was delayed by the matter in the village." The village explained to He Fang and the other two.

In the mouth of the village chief, it turned out that a giant bear appeared in this mountain forest during this period. It had a thick skin, thick flesh and strong strength, and was constantly attacking 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 village was panicked, so they organized several hunters to hunt them, but they didn't expect that ordinary weapons could not even pierce the fur of the giant bear. Just as they were about to organize people to come out to report to the officials to solve the problem, Jie Ziming came back. After hearing about this, he volunteered to help the village solve the problem, so he and several hunters entered the forest to hunt the giant bear. The forest was too big, and they went out to search for two days, but the dry food they brought was not enough. When they came back to replenish the dry food, they went into the forest, and had not come back yet.

He Fang and the other two then resolved their doubts, but they were not worried about Jie Ziming's safety. Jie Ziming was already in the state of great perfection, and they could only deal with a beast with thick skin.

The village chief suggested: "Xie Xiaosan is here to eliminate the harm to the village. The village has been regarded as the glory of the noble sect. The three young heroes might as well stay at the old man's house at night, and plan to go when Jie Xiaosan comes back."

He Fang and the other two did not refuse, and agreed after arguing.

Then the three of them went to clean up the guest room with Xiaojia, leaving the village chief sitting alone in the lobby. The village chief's face had already changed into a strange smile, and he was sitting there smiling foolishly, and saliva flowed down his mouth.

He Fang was talking to the village chief all afternoon, and when the villagers stared at them, the village waved, "Every time there is a foreigner like this, young hero, don't care."

In the huge courtyard, it seemed that only the village chief and his granddaughter Xiaojia lived. At night, Xiaojia made a table of good dishes to treat the three of them.

After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms. Di Xiangtong was lying on the bed, but her mind was still thinking about the youthful and immortal water. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. So she simply got up and put on her clothes to walk towards Liu Manrou's house. When she walked outside Liu Manrou's house, she found that there were still lights on. Under the shadow of the light, Di Xiangtong saw that there seemed to be other people in the house.

She walked up curiously and looked into the room through the crack by the window.
