Chapter 166 old acquaintance

It took him seven days to travel from Wangchuan City to Xujia Village. It originally didn't take so long. After all, for him who could fly in the air, if he didn't take the wrong path and went to the Xujia Village in Daping Township, he would have come to the village in front of him long ago.

They are also called Xujia Village, but there is no doubt that the village in front of him looks much more poor and down-to-earth than the village he had been to before. After all, Daping Township itself is better than Baoxi Township, and it is not so remote.

But what no one knew was that after the old man passed by there and did not get the news about the person he wanted to find, he was furious and massacred most of the villagers in Xujia Village, Daping Township. Until someone cried and knelt down in front of him and said that there were two Xujia villages in Jinxi Town, he stopped killing after hesitation, and then turned to the Xujia village in front of him.

Originally, according to his identity, he did not dare to kill these people in the city. You should know that in Xujia Village in Daping Township, there are hundreds of households, which is a typical large village with a population of nearly 300. Therefore, most of them were slaughtered by him in one breath, and nearly 200 people died tragically in his rage.

So many people died in the hands of a great practitioner for no reason. If this news spread, as Xing Guan, who was guarding this side, it would be impossible for him to ignore it. It could even be concluded that the old man would die, but he didn't care, because since he stepped out of that prosperous city, he never thought that he could go back alive.

When the old man entered the village where Xu Yan was, it was almost the seventh minute of the time. Although he could still see a large warm golden sunset on one side, Xujia Village, which was built in the valley, had no light at this moment.

In November, when the village loses light at night, the temperature in the air will undoubtedly fall quickly. Therefore, by the stream at the entrance of the village, the two old women whom Xu Yan saw when he returned to the village had already returned to their respective homes, which made the village look a little empty, as if there was no popularity at all. This made the old man who had just arrived here intuitively, and he thought to himself that this was a village that had long been deserted?

Fortunately, it was already evening, and the housewives also started to make fires and cook. Therefore, after the old man stood at the entrance of the village for a while, wisps of smoke from cooking rose from the air in the village, which dispelled his doubts. After learning that the village in front of him was not really an empty village, he no longer hesitated and began to walk into the village step by step.

The number of people in Xujia Village is not large, even when the entire village has the largest population, it is only more than 200 people. The people who are still in the village are all elderly people, so the total number of people is estimated to be only forty or fifty.

The old man shuttled through this empty village and never encountered a figure along the way. He even found that on the side of the road he was passing by, most of the houses on the left and right sides were tightly closed, which made him frown. However, he himself has lived for almost his whole life. As long as he thought about it carefully, he naturally understood the reason.

After a cup of tea.

The old man came to a wooden house with smoke from the chimney of the house, and wanted to step in and ask if Xu Yan had returned. However, before he could enter, a middle-aged man carrying a hoe on his shoulder and a hatchet on his waist was not far away. He shouted to him from a distance: "This father-in-law, I don't know who you are, where you come from, and what are you going to do in my house?"

When the old man heard someone asking him, he stopped immediately. When the other party walked to him, he replied: "Oh, it turns out that this is your family. I came from Shanwai Town. My surname is Yan. When I went to your house, I just saw smoke rising in your house, so I wanted to come to ask for some news. I had no other intentions. I guess you also know that it is not easy to meet someone in this village."

It was Xu Yuting, who had returned from the mountain labor service, who felt relieved when he heard that the other party was just asking for directions, and then he replied with a smile: "It turns out that my father-in-law is from the city. I wonder what news you are going to ask?"

When the old man surnamed Yan heard that the other party was easy to talk, he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "I want to ask, in your village, there is a young man named Xu Yan. Is he in the village now?"

After hearing this question, Xu Yuting immediately replied with a smile: "Yes, Xu's boy, but he is not in the village now. He left the village three years ago and went out to explore. He hasn't come back yet. I don't hide it from my father-in-law. Xu's boy was not very good when he was a child, and later his parents died. It can be said that he is no longer concerned about this place. It is really hard to say whether he will return to the village in the future."

Although Xu Yuting said this, in fact, he was still very firm in his heart that Xu Yan would come back one day because he always felt that Xu Yan was not the kind of person without a conscience. Even if the latter had no feelings for him, the latter had to come back and take a look at Xu Er, or give his deceased parents another incense stick.

Xu Yuting actually loved Xu Yan very much, and even had the idea of ​​giving his precious daughter a wife, but now he was a little far away. Xu Yuting suddenly thought of something in his heart, and then asked the old man surnamed Yan in front of him: "By the way, how did you know about Xu Boy Xu? Have you seen him? And you have traveled thousands of miles to come to us, but you have something to look for him?"

When the old man surnamed Yan saw that the other party was not as if he was lying to him, and when he learned that Xu Yan had not returned here, he was not in the mood to talk about Xu Yan's affairs, he couldn't help but say a little stiffly: "I have never seen him with my own eyes, but this boy was flirting with his granddaughter when he was outside, and he got pregnant with his child. Now he is five months old, but he is fine, and finally he slipped away with a touch of oil on his feet, clearly not wanting to take responsibility for it. I also learned from her that this boy is from here after a harsh question to her granddaughter, and then I wonder if he would escape back here. Therefore, I came here to check it out in person, but from now on, he didn't even dare to go back to his hometown."

When Xu Yuting heard the other party say this, he was shocked and said in disbelief: "Ah! What my father-in-law said is true. Did Boy Xu really do such a traitor?"

Of course, what the old man surnamed Yan said was lies. He said this was nothing more than to test whether the man in front of him had lie to him. However, even so, the anger in his heart was real. Therefore, after hearing Xu Yuting's question, he snorted coldly and replied unhappily: "These are naturally true. How could I make such jokes when I am old? Moreover, this is related to my granddaughter's face. You said that she is only sixteen this year, but she has become a widow early. How can I bear it?"

Xu Yuting was an honest man in the mountains. When he saw the old man surnamed Yan say this, he naturally believed it all. He sighed repeatedly and said in pain: "Brother-in-law, don't be angry. This is indeed what Boy Xu did wrong. Hey, that is, he is not in the village. If he is there, I will definitely pull him in front of you immediately and let you do it."

When the old man said this, he had no expression on his face and still had a stern face. This made Xu Yuting even more ashamed. After all, before, he had the intention of treating Xu Yan as his son-in-law, but unexpectedly, the latter has now become such a morally corrupt and careless person.

Xu Yuting didn't know that he should continue to say more to the old man surnamed Yan in front of him. After all, the matter had already happened and Xu Yan was not in the village, so he couldn't help at all. Therefore, after some consideration, he could only invite the old man in front of him to take a rest at home.

The weather is getting late now, and the old man in front of him looks so old, it is absolutely impossible to leave here again. If he doesn't take the initiative to stay for one night, the other party will not be able to find a place to stay.

After receiving the invitation from the other party, the old man Yan did not refuse and followed Xu Yuting to the latter's home, because he was planning to wait here for a few days first. If he could never wait for Xu Yan to come back, there would be only two results. Either Xu Yan had already died on the road, or Xu Yan went directly to the county town.

If it was really the second situation, he would naturally get the news immediately. After all, the county town can also be regarded as his territory. He had long been full of spies in the areas of the city gates, and then he would turn around and rush back to the county town.

For the old man, as long as he can completely kill the latter before Xu Yan meets the envoy sent by the dynasty, it is considered a success. As for why he came to Xujia Village in person? The reason is very simple, that is, compared to taking action in the county town, he had much less worries when he was outside the city. After all, in a large county town, he wanted to kill Xu Yan but was not discovered by others, which was quite difficult.

After Xu Yuting brought the old man surnamed Yan into his home, his wife Wang, who was busy making dinner, naturally immediately discovered the old man's existence. He immediately asked his husband, "Is this..."

Xu Yuting still had a serious expression at this moment, but after hearing his wife's question, he still patiently explained: "This father-in-law is from the town and his surname is Yan. He came to us to find Xu Yan, but you also know that Xu hasn't come back for years... It's getting late today, so I asked him to stay at our house for a night. By the way, remember to cook more meals tonight."

When Wang heard his husband say this, he immediately said, "It's a coincidence that he came back today, but now he's going to burn incense for his parents, it probably will take a while before he comes back, but I told him before that he'll come to our house for dinner."

"What did you say!"

Just after Wang said this news, Xu Yuting and the old man surnamed Yan spoke in unison and immediately asked in a deep voice.

Seeing that their faces and tone were wrong, Wang couldn't help frowning and said, "I said Yan'er is just back to the village today. Husband, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Are you unhappy when Yan'er comes back? Don't you say that Yan'er looks polite now and looks more handsome than before. When he came to our house just now, he even sent us a lot of valuable gifts. When he comes back later, I promise you will be surprised when you see him."

Since Xu Yuting heard the old man's words before and now when he heard his wife say this, the joy of course disappeared. He even felt a little angry inexplicably, and immediately snorted coldly.

Seeing that his face was still ugly, Wang immediately noticed something was wrong and then asked, "Mr., what's wrong with you? Who are you angry with?"

When Xu Yuting heard this question, he looked at the old man surnamed Yan with some embarrassment, and then he replied to his wife: "Who else is, of course, that boy Xu."

Wang said in surprise: "Why is this?"

Seeing that his wife repeatedly asked her, there was no way, so she had to repeat what the old man said to him before. As a result, there was no surprise. Wang was also shocked by this statement.

After a while, Wang said to her husband in disbelief: "Is this... what Yan'er did really?"

Xu Yuting was reluctant to admit it in his heart, but in the end he nodded with a serious expression.

Seeing him nodding, Wang's previous good impression of Xu Yan was instantly gone, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that he really couldn't change his shit. He was a person with a rude personality before, so how could he become a humble gentleman in just three years? But he didn't expect that he would pretend like this in front of him.

Without waiting for Wang to say anything more, the old man surnamed Yan, who was standing beside him, asked her in a deep voice: "You said Xu Yan is going to burn incense to his parents at this moment. I wonder where his parents' grave is built?"

When Wang heard this question, he did not answer directly, but just asked: "Brother-in-law, are you...?

The old man surnamed Yan couldn't wait to take Xu Yan's life in case of long nights of dreams, but he replied: "Since Xu Yan made my granddaughter pregnant with his child, I naturally had to have a good talk with him about this, so that he could make a decent decision in front of his parents."

When Xu Yuting and his wife heard him say this, they understood his anger, so they were not good to say more about this matter. However, when they thought of the problem along the way, Wang replied hesitantly: "That... it's okay to tell my father-in-law about this. It's just a long way from the village to Yan'er's parents' grave. My father-in-law, it's probably too late to go now..."

The old man surnamed Yan interrupted her and replied bluntly: "You don't need to worry about this. I have my own concerns. You just need to tell me the specific location."

Wang and her husband looked at each other, and saw that the latter nodded, and nodded anything. They replied: "His parents' grave is on the back mountain behind our village. You just need to walk straight along the mountain road. There is only one mountain path on the back mountain, so you shouldn't go wrong."

After hearing this, the old man surnamed Yan nodded with satisfaction, but then he suddenly stretched out his right hand, waved his sleeves in the air, and swept Xu Yuting and his wife out in an instant. It was not until the two of them hit the wooden wall hard and smashed two deep pits that he turned around and left angrily.

Just by gently brushing the sleeves, Xu Yuting and his wife's life and death were unknown. This is the difference between practitioners and ordinary people in the market. However, Xu Yuting and his wife did not understand why the old man wanted to kill them, and they could not understand why the other party just brushed his sleeves, and they seemed to be hit by a thousand kilograms of rock.

After leaving the house, the old man surnamed Yan did not stop at all, and strode directly in the direction he said. After he completely walked out of the village, he prepared to fly directly in the air, because it was much faster than walking the bends of the mountain trail with his feet.

However, before he could rise up in the air, an old man of his age was blocked in front of him.

The elderly are the same as the elderly.

One was wearing a rich and noble suit, while the other was wearing an extremely poor dress, which was a ragged sheepskin fur.

Xu Er looked at the old man in Jinyi in front of him, and said with a serious look: "Where you come from, go back, before I attack you."

After hearing this, the old man surnamed Yan couldn't help laughing, but his tone was extremely cold and replied: "Who are you? You dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me."

After hearing this, Xu Li thought for a moment before answering, "I am just a sinner, it's not worth mentioning, but I can't watch you kill my grandson."

After hearing Xu Li's dissuasion, the old man named Yan suddenly became murderous and then said coldly: "Is he your grandson? That's really great. I will kill you first and then kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man surnamed Yan raised his hand and used his fingers to make a sword, and gently stroked it in the air.

A wisp of white light flashed quietly from the tips of his fingers, like fireworks ignited in his hands. Then, the wisp of white light turned into a sharp sword energy, and suddenly shot towards Xu Li not far in front of him.

When Xu Qing saw that he had disagreement, he drew his sword to him, and his face turned cold, but the other party wanted to kill him with this casual sword, which was also a fool.

So, when Xu Er saw that the sword energy used by the old man Yan was about to reach him, he raised his hand without any fancy and easily transformed the other party's sword energy.

"Yan Fu, do you really want to be so stubborn and want to fight my life and death with me here?"

When the old man surnamed Yan heard that the other party revealed his identity directly, the shock in his heart was undoubtedly far greater than the other party raising his hand and turning his sword. He couldn't hide his shock and asked in a cold voice: "You actually recognize me, who are you?"

Xu Li replied in a deep voice: "I... Xu Li!"
