Major General Through the Upper Gate

"Didn't Uncle Zhang say that we have to wait for a while, what's the rush?" Wei Dong said after listening carefully.

"From the Wei family, you have to know that Brother Wei may not be able to keep him later. Look at Cheng Da's legs, they must be able to accommodate people!" The one who spoke was the Jiang family from the other side of the river. Tonghua Village is located on both sides of the river, and hundreds of households are distributed along the two banks, and everyone in the neighborhood is familiar with it.

"Cheng Da, have you reminded Brother Wei about this?" Feng Wu, the village head, raised his hand to signal everyone not to quarrel. He called Cheng Da's name and asked him to speak.

"I mentioned it to Gu Xiaozi when it rained in the first half of the month," Cheng Wei's uncle raised his drooping eyelids and said hoarsely, "But I don't think he took it to heart."

"You can't tell Brother Wei directly about this matter. You did the right thing by reminding Gu Xiaozi, but I'm afraid that this matter will be hidden sooner or later." The village chief sighed. Cheng Wei's uncompromising temperament really cannot be said.

"At the beginning, I said that it would be fine to forcefully assign him to the hunter in the neighboring village. I will bear the reputation of dominating the family property. If you had listened to me, there would be so many things today." Cheng Da coughed twice, That hoarse voice was really uncomfortable to hear.

"Although it's for his own good, we really can't do this. Whether it's good or not is a matter of a lifetime." Lizheng took a breath and frowned and said, "If it's not good, it's really I have ruined Brother Ren for the rest of my life, and now that some of our old fellows are dead, what are we going to do to meet Little Daddy?"

"Is life more important than reputation? He is the only one in my second brother's family." Cheng Da stopped and said something again, and the big guy stopped talking immediately.

"It's no use arguing about it now," the village head sighed again, "Old man Zhang, tell me, how is the mountain doing?"

"I took a dog to look carefully at the mountains near the village, and found two footprints in total, which were compared to those of the same orc. Looking at the animal prints, it was definitely a tiger clan, and only one came. "Old man Zhang is an old hunter in Tonghua Village. Cheng Wei learned the lock set of the little rabbit from him.

"The orcs in Yunjing Country always travel together when they have missions, and there is only one at present, and the situation is still unclear." Lizheng answered, and he said: "The Liu family, your house is near the mountain, and the fields are distributed far and near the mountain. If you find anything wrong, please come and let me know in time."

"My father has asked his servants to plant white flags around Zhuangzi and the fields. If there are new discoveries, he will come to tell you." The eldest son Liu Quan is from the Liu family. Although his father is not too old to leave the house However, in recent years, the internal and external affairs of Zhuangzi have gradually been handed over to him.

Planting a white flag means that the mountain of the Liu family has recently been infested by wild animals and the mountain will be closed, and no one in the village can enter the mountain from there.

"Couldn't that brother Wei be allowed to move out? What's the point of worrying all day long!" The atmosphere was dull, and suddenly someone said in a dark tone.The man who spoke was a man from Hewei Qi's family. His family had only moved in for a few years, and he had only vaguely heard about the things in Tonghua Village in those few years.

"The Qi family, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense!" The Jiang family who started talking frowned when they heard this, and he said in a bad tone: "If Cheng Wei's little father didn't exist back then, our group Why are you still sitting here?"

Three generations of Jiang's family have been helping the officials butcher pigs in the town. This man was born with a face full of flesh, and he can scare a timid child to tears without saying a word on weekdays.He had been resting for the past two days, and it happened that his family members sent him a letter asking him to come back, and now his face darkened, and the murderous arrogance suddenly appeared.

This cannot be blamed on him, 11 years ago, the Yi Clan of Yunjing Country almost mobilized and looted several villages in Linxian County.That year, if Cheng Wei's little father hadn't come back from the mountains covered in blood to inform them of several villages to evacuate ahead of time, we don't know what it would be like now.

In short, they have visited all the villages that were in trouble, and the smell of blood can be smelled all over the villages, as if it has penetrated into the land and is everywhere.No matter who saw the scene of utterly devastated houses, no one felt panicked. It was not until many years later that the government moved in again. I heard that the wells in those villages were still red every time there was a heavy rain.

The man from the Qi family was choked, and seeing that the man from the Jiang family seemed about to hit someone, the man from that family suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.As an outsider, although he didn't feel any embarrassment in the village, he was not close.The Jiang family had contacts with the officials, even the butchers were better than their farmers.

"Okay, okay." The village chief took a cold look at Qi's family. This family originally came here as a refugee. At that time, he saw that the two of them were bringing a three or four-year-old child, so he discussed with Li Zheng to take him in.Normally, he is not a bad person, but his heart is a little cold, but now his son has shown some cold and powerful temperament.

"According to me, you don't need to talk to Brother Wei about this." Li Zheng said, tapping his cigarette rod on the edge of the table.

"When you return home, you must explain to your family members that no one is allowed to go to the mountain until the white flag is pulled out. Especially the children, all families are looking after me. Those beasts in Yunjing Country want it. Not just children, but you strong adults."

"But it's not a problem if you don't go up the mountain all the time. Let alone people, tigers still have time to nap." Someone below said worriedly.

Li Zheng nodded and said, "That's the reason. I'll go to town tomorrow and tell the officials about it. According to the usual practice, the officials will send people down to patrol the mountains, but the officials will stay for a month at most. Let’s talk about the time.”

Li Zheng's words made everyone more or less relieved. It would be the best thing for someone from the official family to come down. He and the village head comforted everyone and let them go home.

"Cheng Da, wait a moment." Li Zheng stopped Cheng Da, he looked at his limping legs, and said after a while: "Cheng Er..."

Cheng Da shook his head, and he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You don't need to say these things, everyone knows what will happen if you are taken away. I just think that my second brother and his younger brother are dead."

"We were the ones who failed your family back then." The village chief also came over, and he couldn't help but sighed, his tone full of guilt.

"You have exhausted your benevolence. This is the fate of my second brother and the two of them. It is a blessing to be able to leave behind Cheng Wei." Cheng Da coughed twice, and then said: "The boy he is looking for now is also the two of you." Those who have seen it can only be said to be certain. He is born with that kind of root, and he must be different from us."

The village chief paused before saying, "I've seen Gu boy. Although he is tall and has short hair...but he is different from those people."

Li Zheng also nodded and said: "Although I don't know the reason, but he came to the door because of Brother Wei. The Wei family also said that Gu Xiaozi is good to Brother Wei, so we have to rest assured."

Cheng Da raised his eyelids, and he said hoarsely: "It's better that this matter has nothing to do with him. If he has any other plans for Cheng Wei or Tonghua Village, I, Cheng Fa, have to fight the other leg, and I have to do it." Kill him as a dog!"

Several people remained silent, and after Cheng Da finished speaking, he dragged his leg out while coughing deeply and shallowly.

But overnight, the entire Tonghua Village was shrouded in a layer of unease.

Cheng Wei and Gu Xizheng didn't know that the whole Tonghua Village was about to be turned upside down because of him. When they woke up the next day, Gu Xizheng found that the village was planted with flags tied with white cloth.

"There are wild beasts in the village. This is the flag of Shanban." Cheng Wei explained to Gu Xijiao. He looked up and saw that the road next to the mountain was planted with flags, and his brows frowned.

It seems that the set of footprints he and Wei Xiaodi found that day was much more serious than imagined.
