Chapter 562 Entering the Village
There were a dozen teenagers, the oldest was no more than 30 years old and the youngest looked only 15 or 16.
They were all skinny men. Qian Qian hadn't seen such thin young men for a long time. There was confusion and heartache in his eyes.
A dozen people originally looked at Qian Qian with ferocious faces, but when they met the old man's sympathetic eyes, their ferocious faces could not be controlled.
Everyone's expressions softened, and the thirty-something man in the lead bowed to Qian Qian and said, "Old man."
He spoke in unstandard Daxia Mandarin, "If you don't mind, you can stay in the village for one night."
Zhou Zheng turned to look at the young man behind him, his eyes gloomy, "Zhou Hao, do you want to rebel?"
Zhou Hao ignored Zhou Zheng and only looked at the silver-haired old woman in front of him.
Qian Qian glanced at Zhou Zheng and sneered, "Your name is Zhou Hao? What a nice name."
"But," she changed the subject, "as you can see, I only have three guys around me to protect me."
"Since there are people in your village who don't welcome me," he gave Zhou Zheng a pointed look, "I don't dare to take the risk."
He looked at Zhou Hao and the other young villagers and sighed, "The people of Daxia are all living well, why do you live like this?"
Without waiting for Zhou Hao to answer, he said to Jiuer, "We have food and meat in the carriage. Let's share some with the villagers."
She paused again and looked at Zhou Hao, "You'd better not have any ideas about this old woman. She is not an ordinary person."
Zhou Hao looked at the old woman. She had silver hair, a youthful face and distant eyes.
She has an extraordinary demeanor, and judging from her figure, she must have some kung fu skills.
The old man was wearing a silver-grey short-sleeved shirt. I don’t know what the silver-grey material was that made it waterproof.
The old man in front of him really couldn't tell his age. Zhou Hao bowed again, "Old man, the weather in Haoshan is changeable."
"Even at the foot of the mountain, there are many dangers." He extended his hand towards the village. "In our village, apart from the men like us, the rest are the old, the sick, the disabled, and the weak women."
"No one will attack you here."
Qian Qian re-examined Zhou Hao and said, "Tongzi, this Zhou Hao seems quite upright."
[Hmm,] the system considered, [this young man is okay, don’t be fooled by his old appearance, he is actually only 25.]
Money money...
【25? 】
[This,] It's hard to explain. Looking at Zhou Hao, [I really can't tell.]
system……
[Hahahaha,] his tone suddenly became serious, [Qianqian, this village really has a big problem.]
【Yeah, I think so too.】 Qian Qian agrees with the system.
[The Zhou family is really cruel. They are so harsh to their own children. ]
[More than that,] the system said, [I'm a little unsure, you'd better meet the girls in the village.]
Qian Qian narrowed his eyes and had a bad feeling in his heart.
She looked at Zhou Hao and thought for a while, "Then I will stay in Zhoucun for one night. Please make the arrangements."
"Yes."
Zhou Hao bowed, his face showing no sign of joy or dislike.
Zhou Zheng, who had been standing nearby without saying a word, sneered and turned away with trembling steps.
Qian Qian looked at the man's back and said in a deep voice, "Sanqi, Jiu, you and Zhou Hao go over there and clean up the house we live in first."
"Yes."
Sanqi responded respectfully and left with Jiuer.
Jiuer looked back every few steps, Qianqian found it funny, [What is Jiuer thinking? ]
[The pitiful and reluctant look made me look like an irresponsible and heartless person. ]
system……
[Well, she just covets your money. ]
[You just offered twenty taels, this girl is so greedy. ]
Money money...
[Hehe, the little girl is really obsessed with money. ]
[I don’t hate it, though.]
Qian Qian looked at Bai Zhi again, "Drive the carriage to the entrance of the village," she turned around and asked the three or four teenage boys who stayed there, "Is there a place in your village where we can park the carriage?"
Several young men looked at each other, and after a long while, fifteen or sixteen young men spoke up, "There is room to park the carriage in the room we arranged for you."
Qian Qian nodded and gave Bai Zhi a look.
Bai Zhi immediately went to catch the car, and the boys watched eagerly.
[Qianqian,] the system said bitterly, [Did you see the boy with the smallest head?]
【Um. 】
Qianqian looked at the shortest boy, whose clothes were covered with patches.
The young man was skinny and his clear eyes were fixed on the carriage not far away.
【What happened to this boy? 】
The system sighed, [He has an older sister, who was chosen as the daughter-in-law of the God of Haoshan last month.]
[Wife of the Mountain God? ]
Qian Qian pursed her lips, [What the hell is going on again? ]
[It sounds wrong, right? ]
[What's the trick? ]
The system was helpless, [The so-called bride of the mountain god of Haoshan is just a lie. ]
[There are people from the Langyue Palace stationed in Haoshan to guard the dragon veins for a long time. Those people are not content. ]
[They would select a girl from Zhou Village regularly, and the villagers would cover the girl with a red veil and send her to a cave somewhere in Haoshan.]
[The cave was pitch black.] The system paused. [The girl thought she was the bride of the mountain god of Haoshan.]
[In fact, she is just a tool for the disciples of Langyue Palace in Haoshan to satisfy their sexual desires. ]
[Few of the "brides" sent to the mountains survived more than half a year. ]
Money money...
Looking up at the strange scene on Mount Hao, I felt a surge of anger with nowhere to vent.
[Tongzi,] she said in a low voice, [I want to kill Langyue Palace right now.]
[Yes,] the system was certain, [there are not many people from the Langyue Palace on Haoshan.]
【With your skills, it's not a problem to deal with them. 】
[If you think it's dirty, just use a pistol. ]
Qianqian thought of the latest pistol he had asked Ying'er for in his own space, and he made a decision in his heart.
She asked again, [Can this Zhou family dragon vein be destroyed? ]
The system was silent for a long time this time. [This involves what will happen in this small world hundreds of years later.]
[I need to be careful when eating melons, Qianqian, you have to give me more time. ]
【it is good. 】
Qian Qian nodded, and Bai Zhi had already driven the carriage to Qian Qian's side.
The roads in the village were muddy and difficult to travel on, so Qianqian got on a horse carriage directly.
Several young onlookers, with their big, bright, ignorant eyes, led Qian Qian in the right direction.
Arriving at the residence, Qian Qian looked at the adobe house from outside and said, "It looks okay."
"This is the best house in our village," a young man explained, "This is the house where the messenger of the Haoshan Mountain God can live when he comes down the mountain to pick up the Mountain God's bride."
Qian Qian felt even more upset, but she kept a smile on her face, "Bai Zhi, give some food to these children."
"Thank you for leading the way."
The boys' eyes became brighter, which made Qian Qian feel sad.
After waiting in the carriage for another half an hour, the adobe house was finally cleaned up.
Qian Qian was invited into the house by Sanqi. "This room looks OK." He looked around. "There's even a kang?"
Sanqi asked, "Madam, it's cold and damp today. Do you want to light up the kang?"
Qian Qian nodded, "Let's light the fire. The four of us can sleep together on the kang tonight."
"Yes."
The boys took their things and left happily, and Zhou Hao also bowed and said goodbye.
Qian Qian looked at the adobe house behind him. Before he could start to complain, the system spoke again, "Qian Qian, be careful. There is a tunnel in this house."
Money money...
