Chapter 138 Return To Gumu Village

Late at night, Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai walked on the rugged mountain road again.

But this time, Shi Jing led the way, which made the two of them feel much more at ease. However, the road was still difficult to walk. It was pitch dark in the forest, and it was very difficult to walk only by the light of a flashlight.

Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai subconsciously held hands. Two days ago, they were not very familiar with each other, but two days later, their relationship changed dramatically.

On the way, Shi Jing and his wife seemed to be in a very relaxed mood. The mountain road was a common experience for them and they did not find it difficult to walk. They even turned back to chat with Luo Chen and enjoyed their plans to become village chiefs in the future.

"The treasures of Gumu Village are always spied on by other mystic masters. In order to protect themselves, the village is always cautious when doing business with the outside world. No one can make money. Now with Jinyangye, we don't have to guard the poisonous insects to make money. , there is no need to be afraid of being discovered in the Chongshi Village, Jin Yangye is the savior of the Gumu Village."

At the end of the topic, it fell on Jin Yangye.

Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to answer the conversation. The hands they held together became sweaty.

Could it be that the two of us are Jin Yangye’s first experience customers...

Mu Rong, who was on the side, patted her husband and said angrily: "You should stop saying a few words and save some energy to compete with Xiao Wu."

"Honey, you have suffered all these years. I will take back the position of village chief and let you live a good life. We can finally have a child."

When Murong heard this, his heart warmed up and he held his husband's arm.

Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai saw the deep relationship between the couple and subconsciously pulled tighter.

Murong is not from Gumu Village. Her life experience is even worse. She is an orphan from another village in Dieyun Mountain. Her parents died suddenly of illness, leaving her family with no relatives and friends. She was forced to live alone for many years. Once, she went to the mountain to collect medicine. At that time, she lost her way in the mountains and was accidentally bitten by a poisonous insect. She almost died. She was rescued by Shi Jing in time. She had no family to begin with, so she stayed with Shi Jing. She was also treated by Shi Jing's justice and kindness. Touched by his character, he married him and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

I don’t know how far I walked when a faint light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Shi Jing stopped and said, "We're here."

"It seems quite far away..."

Although they saw the lights of Gumu Village, the four of them were standing on the hilltop opposite. They had to walk down the mountain for a while before reaching the village.

Shi Jing wiped his sweat and said, "You two don't show up now. If the situation changes, you can help me again."

"good."

After the discussion, the four of them walked down the mountain together. Because it was closer to Gumu Village, the normal mountain road was easy to walk, but there would be traps and other ambushes along the way. Shi Jing took a detour to go down the mountain, and met the villagers who had contacted him in advance on the way. , escorting Shi Jing into the village.

"Xiao Shi, your life has not been easy these years."

"Uncle Qi, my father did nothing wrong back then. It was the gangsters who were so abominable and angered everyone."

"Everyone was too anxious back then. Looking back now, your father is the village chief who cares for everyone. I have quietly inquired in the village. At least half of the people want you to come back. Everyone also knows that you are living in seclusion in the mountains. .”

"I will defeat Xiao Wu with my own hands in front of the whole village."

Uncle Qi's eyes were deep, "No one knows what Xiao Wu has practiced now, and why his appearance has not changed in fifteen years."

Getting closer and closer to Gumu Village, the lights became brighter and brighter. Uncle Qi hid Luo Chen and Lu Xiaobai in his house and told them that they could observe from the second floor. The location of his house was the best in the village.

After saying that, the old man sighed, "You two young lovers are really lucky. No magician has ever survived Xiao Wu's centipede poison."

"It was Shi Jing who helped us detoxify."

"Shi Jing's father is a great man."

Then, Shi Jing followed Uncle Qi and walked towards the open space in the center of the village. There was a big lamp there, which was the brightest place in the village at night. It was here that his father was driven away by everyone fifteen years ago.

The light pulled the figures into long shadows. Shi Jing and his wife walked to the open space, only to find that several villagers gradually walked out of the surroundings. They stared at Shi Jing with hostile faces.

"How dare you come back? I didn't kill you father and son back then. It's because our village has ancestral teachings that we must never hurt our own clan. But after you were kicked out of the village, you were no longer the same clan."

"So, you want to kill me tonight?"

Shi Jing didn't expect that Xiao Wu was waiting here in advance. He had a strong build and dark skin. He looked like a young and strong boy, but Xiao Wu looked like this fifteen years ago.

Xiao Wu stepped forward, followed by his loyal men, who were also the more powerful insect farmers in the village.

"Someone in the village contacted you secretly. Do you think I don't know? I know you are evil."

"I came back for the people in the village, not for myself."

"You are no longer from Gumu Village. Since you are not from the same clan, if I kill you tonight, the people in the village will not have any objections." Xiao Wu's tone was obviously not sparing any room.

But Shi Jing also came prepared. Over the years, he has kept in touch with many people in the village. After the excitement of the year passed, everyone remembered the good deeds of the former village chief Shi.

"Xiao Wu, you only think about yourself, don't you consider everyone else's thoughts?"

After saying that, more villagers appeared behind Shi Jing. Everyone knew that Shi Jing was coming back tonight, so they rushed to support him. They were not willing to let Xiao Wu become the village chief anymore, and they were not willing to throw those strangers into the poison pond. inside.

A villager shouted: "Xiao Wu, you have only been killing outsiders these years without considering everyone's mood. You are no longer worthy of being the village chief."

"Yes, are you crazy? You spend all day thinking about studying poison and how to deal with the mystical masters in the Central Plains. What will happen to all of us? Medicinal merchants lower prices every year. We don't seek wealth, and we shouldn't compete. There were worse times.”

The person behind Xiao Wu suddenly shouted: "Without the village chief protecting you, the outside mysticism masters might have killed you all long ago. If you can live a peaceful life, you have to thank the village chief."

The villagers immediately divided into two groups. No one was convinced by the other, and they supported Xiao Wu and Shi Jing respectively.

For a time, the crowd was divided into three and seven.

Seventy percent of the villagers support Shi Jing, because many people no longer want to harm others and just want to live a peaceful life.

Only three adults stood on Xiao Wu's side, but these three adults were all strong young men in the village, and all of them were powerful insect masters. If the two groups really fought, Xiao Wu's side would be stronger.

Shi Jing signaled everyone to calm down, "Our village has ancestral rules and we must never harm our own clan. We are not going to have a conflict today. Xiaowu, come out. You defeated my father here for fifteen years, and I will defeat you today." "
