Fanghua Village was located outside the western city gate of Yangzhou City. It was about a mile away from the city gate.
Fanghua Village was a small village with a population of only 200 people. Its main source of income was the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain. The villagers in the village weaved the bamboo they dug into bamboo baskets and then sold them in the city for money to make a living. Therefore, their lives were not very rich. However, relying on the self-reliance of the villagers, they could still eat their fill.
However, the villagers in this village were worried all day long. Why? Just a few days ago, some children in the village had mysteriously disappeared one after another. The villagers did not know the reason, so they had to live in fear every day.
At this moment, at the entrance of Fanghua Village stood two young men, both around 22 or 23 years old. They were wearing grey cloth clothes and another young man dressed in scholarly clothes were slowly walking into the village.
These two people were naturally Carefree and Xu Fei, who had just found out about Fang Hua Village's whereabouts in the restaurant.
Carefree and Xu Fei walked into the village and looked around. The residential houses in Fanghua Village were all built with bamboo, and they were well-arranged. It was morning, and the sun was shining brightly. The villagers sat in groups of three to five, weaving bamboo baskets and chatting. The folk customs were very simple. Occasionally, smoke would slowly float out from the chimneys above the bamboo houses. It was a peaceful scene, but the peaceful life could not hide the worries of the villagers.
Carefree looked at the peaceful living environment and felt calm.
"Big Brother Li, it's so strange!" Xu Fei suddenly said. Why are they all adults and not children?”
Carefree came back to his senses and nodded." It's very strange. I think the villagers must be scared by that monster!" I don't dare to let the child come out."
Carefree had guessed it right. The village chief had gathered all the children in a large wooden house in order to prevent them from disappearing mysteriously again. He had even sent a few burly men to protect them. Although this restricted the children's freedom, there was nothing they could do.
Carefree and Xu Fei continued to walk forward. When they were not far away from the villagers, all of them suddenly stopped what they were doing, stopped talking and laughing, and looked at Carefree and Xu Fei at the same time.
More than 160 eyes of the 70 to 80 villagers landed on Carefree and Xu Fei at the same time. This was not the most important thing. What was important was that Carefree and Xu Fei found that the villagers 'eyes were filled with hostility.
Carefree was still expressionless, but Xu Fei was different. He sensed the unfriendly gazes from the crowd and felt a little nervous. He looked at Carefree and asked in a low voice,"Big Brother Li, I see that these villagers have ill intentions in their eyes. They treat us as bad people. What should we do?”
Li Xiaoyao crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a smile,"What do you mean what to do? Let's go up and understand the situation.”
" Well, Big Brother Li, I'll go to the village gate to guard it and see if the monster has come." Before Xu Fei finished, he was pulled over by Carefree.
Carefree pulled Xu Fei and walked forward. Suddenly, two strong men appeared from the side and blocked Carefree's path.
Carefree looked at the two strong men in front of him. They looked 70% similar. They had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a sturdy body. Their trembling muscles made it impossible for people to doubt the amazing strength contained in their arms. The man's arm was probably as thick as Carefree's thigh.
The two of them looked at Carefree and Xu Fei unkindly. One of the burly men looked at them and said,"You two, what are you doing here in Fanghua Village? If there's nothing else, please leave! Our Fanghua Village does not welcome outsiders."
Carefree frowned. After a while, he smiled and said,""Brothers, I heard that recently, there have been children in your village who go missing for no reason.”
After the two men heard this, they stared at Carefree with their tiger eyes. Their faces turned cold. One of them said,"Who are you? How do you know about my Fanghua Village? Could it be that this matter is related to you?"
Carefree shook his head and smiled bitterly." No, but we're here because of this. We want to understand the cause and effect of this matter. If you can cooperate actively, I think we can help you solve this matter."”
The two men looked at each other. One of them continued,"This what?" The big man's eyes suddenly widened, and the other big man did the same. His mouth was so big that it could fit an egg.
Just as the burly man was hesitating, Carefree smiled and raised his right hand. A sword Qi burst out from his right finger and hit the ground. With a bang, dust flew up and a big hole about two feet in diameter and three feet in height appeared.
Carefree knew that only strength could completely convince the two of them.
As Carefree had expected, after the two of them saw Carefree's strength, one of the burly men looked at Carefree and said,""Brother, please wait a moment. I'll go report to our village chief.”After saying that, he shot a look at the burly man and hurriedly ran back.
Xu Fei laughed and said,""Big Brother Li, you're really something."
Carefree smiled but didn't say anything. After experiencing so many things, Carefree had truly matured. Of course, Carefree understood this little principle.
In less than ten minutes, the burly man who had rushed in earlier came back and came to Carefree. He grinned and said,""Hehe, our village chief said that he wanted me to bring the two of you over.”
"Lead the way, Big Brother!" Carefree nodded.”
"Let's go!" The burly man said straightforwardly. This way."
Carefree and Xu Fei followed at the same time.
Xu Fei was a little confused. How did this burly man's attitude change so quickly?
Xu Fei didn't know, but Carefree did. Farm men were the most honest. Although they looked fierce just now, they were like that because they felt that your appearance threatened their lives. Once they found out that you were a good person, they would treat you more sincerely. Now that he was with the farmers, Carefree felt very relaxed. At least they wouldn't think of any vicious tricks to harm him.
Along the way, Xiaoyao watched the busy figures of the villagers and the sound of laughter. Li Xiaoyao had a faint smile on his face. It was a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. It was a blessing to be calm! Carefree sighed in his heart. If I was like Ling 'er, an ordinary person, we wouldn't be in this state now. We should also live an ordinary and happy life like this, working at sunrise and resting at sunset! However, I will definitely save you. This kind of life won't be far from us.
Carefree's face was filled with happiness.
Xiaoyao Xufei followed the big man in front of him and made a few turns. The big man smiled and said to Xiaoyao Xufei,""Brothers, our village chief's residence is just ahead. We won't be going in.”
"Thank you, big brothers." Carefree said gratefully. "Xu Fei, let's go." After saying that, he called Xu Fei and walked towards the village chief's residence.
The bamboo house that the village chief lived in was slightly larger than the bamboo houses of ordinary residents. Moreover, the bamboo used was more sturdy.
Carefree could tell at a glance that the bamboo in Village Chief's bamboo house was extraordinary.
Ordinary bamboo would turn yellow and dry within a day after being picked. The better bamboo would always remain emerald green. This way, it could maintain its toughness and withstand greater pressure. However, the bamboo in the village chief's house could not turn yellow. It was enough to show how extraordinary it was.
Li Xiaoyao smiled and brought Xu Fei into the village chief's house.
As soon as the two of them entered the room, they were shocked by the furnishings in the room.
It was still alright if Xu Fei was stunned, because Xu Fei had no knowledge at all. However, even Carefree was shocked. It could be seen that there was something extraordinary in the house.
All kinds of tools and weapons made of bamboo were hung around the room. There were bows, arrows, crossbows, spears, catapults, and so on. There were also many things that Carefree and Xu Fei didn't recognize.
These tools and weapons were all very well-made, without any rough parts. It seemed that without the accumulation of time, it was impossible to make such fine things.
In the main hall of the house stood an old man. He was very short, as if he had dwarfism. He had a hunched back and was already over seventy years old. The wrinkles on his face were very serious, but his eyes were bright as he looked at Carefree and Xu Fei.
When the old man saw the two of them, he laughed and said,"Just now, I heard from Ah Shan that two very powerful experts had come to our village. I didn't expect it to be you. You're actually so young.”
Carefree didn't act arrogantly. He quickly entered and cupped his hands."Old man, we have come to your village without permission.”
Xu Fei cupped his hands and said.
The village chief laughed." It's nothing. You're here to help the village. Why would I need to trouble you?" Haha, sit down! I'll tell you everything I know! I hope you can help our village solve this problem. We will be eternally grateful.”
