In fact, Zeng Jin and Diao Chan discussed this issue with Yu Yi. She found that Yu Yi's age change was not very obvious. They were obviously of the same period, but Diao Chan was much older than Yu Yi. The village chief glanced at the men and horses behind Yu Yi and asked, "I wonder what the purpose of your visit to our Huangpu Village is?"
Yu Yi cupped his hands and said, "To be honest with the village chief, one of my wives is in the sedan chair. She is very weak due to childbirth and needs to find a place to recuperate."
The village chief glanced at the sedan and said, "I wonder if you saw the situation in our village when you came in?"
Yuyi didn't know what the village chief wanted to express, so he replied: "Huangpu Village is close to the Yellow River. The people here make a living by fishing and work on the banks of the Yellow River all year round. It is normal for their skin to be darker!"
The village chief nodded and said, "It's an unfortunate time for you to come here. Are the villagers preparing to leave here recently?" After saying this, the village chief showed a sad expression, and other villagers expressed their intention to let Yu Yi leave.
Yu Yi was a little confused. Based on his first reaction, he asked, "Is it because there are bandits around?"
The village chief replied: "Not really?"
Seeing that the village chief seemed to have something to hide, Yu Yi glanced at the surrounding villagers and asked tentatively: "I don't know what's going on? Is there anything I can do to help?"
The village chief shook his head and said: "It's not that Huangpu Village doesn't welcome outsiders, it's really..." He swallowed his words halfway.
Lei Chunze walked out at this time, took out the spider stick, pointed at the village chief, and said: "You old man, we are kind enough to help you, but you are still hesitant!"
Yu Yi quickly stepped forward to scold him and said, "Don't be rude. Since Huangpu Village doesn't welcome us, let's leave." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and prepared to give the order to leave.
Mr. Zou in the sedan heard everything clearly, and felt a little happy when he thought that he didn't have to live in this place.
At this moment, a woman next to the village chief walked up to Yuyi and everyone, knelt down with a plop, and cried: "Please save our village!"
Yu Yi was very surprised. He quickly got off his horse and helped the woman up, asking, "What happened in the village?"
The village chief walked up to the woman and angrily said, "Come back with me. Our village is finished, so don't bring trouble to the adults!"
It turned out that the woman was the village chief's daughter. Yu Yi blocked the village chief and said with a smile: "I know the village chief must have something to hide. I, Yu Yi, have traveled all over the country and encountered many strange things and solved many of them. If The village chief is afraid of getting us involved, so there’s no need for that!”
Finally, the village chief's emotion was like that of a broken bank of earth, and he knelt down. When the villagers saw this, they all knelt down too.
Yu Yi glanced at everyone and said, "If you have any questions, please get up and talk!"
Through understanding, Yu Yi learned that not long ago, a strange thing happened in Huangpu Village. A big fish appeared on the river here. It was extremely brave. Although it never entered the village, it destroyed the fishing industry that the villagers relied on for their livelihood. The villagers lost their food source, and the rumors of fish monsters became more and more intense, so more and more people started to investigate, forming what Huangpu Village looks like today.
After Yu Yi found out, he stepped forward and patted the village chief on the shoulder, saying, "Send someone to take me to the river first to have a look!"
The village chief was very frightened after hearing this and said: "It's better not to go, that fish monster is very scary!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, no matter what kind of monster it is, if he encounters me, he must take a detour!"
When the villagers heard Yu Yi's words, they thought he was bragging, because before that, the village chief also went to find many talented people outside the village. They all set up altars by the river to practice, but they were sucked in by the fish monster. In the river, it was swallowed up on the spot.
Seeing the villagers' hesitation, Yu Yi took out the snake-cutting sword he was carrying and said: "This is the snake-cutting sword used by Emperor Gaozu to kill the White Snake Uprising. I have this sword in my hand and I am not afraid of any monsters!"
After all, the village chief is knowledgeable. He only saw the colorful beads and nine-flowered jade on the sword as decoration, and the miscellaneous five-color colored glaze as the sword box. It is no different from holding a sword. After twelve years of sharpening, the blade is always like frost and snow. After opening the box and unsheathing it, it looked graceful and shining. Knowing that it was not an ordinary object, he quickly made way out of the way and continued moving forward with Yu Yi and others.
Soon I arrived at the village chief's residence and saw only a very simple house, which was far different from the one in Daoxiang Village at that time.
The village chief and his wife brought some tea, and Yu Yi took it and took a sip. Huang Shumin and Lei Chunze stood aside. Zou had been temporarily arranged to live in the village chief's home.
The village chief was very polite and said with a smile: "My place is very simple, please don't dislike it!"
Yu Yi nodded and said: "Please don't mind the village chief bothering us for coming all the way!"
The village chief stood up and said: "If you can solve the fish monster problem in our village, then it is okay to let me be a cow and a horse!"
Yu Yi also stood up, patted the village chief on the shoulder, motioned for him to sit down, and said softly: "It's fate to be able to come to Huangpu Village. As Tang Linjun, our mission is to help the vulnerable and the poor, how can we just sit back and watch the fish monster? Doesn't it matter?"
The village chief slowly sat down and said: "The fish monster has a huge body, two eyes in front of it, and a big mouth on its belly with sharp teeth!" After saying this, his body was trembling, as if he was disappointed with what he saw. I still have lingering fears.
Yu Yi said: "I have a snake-killing sword in my hand, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
The village chief said: "The fish monster is huge and it's in the water, so I'm afraid you can't get close to it!"
Yu Yi thought about it and felt that this was the case. Even though the Snake Sword could kill the fish monster, the fish monster's territory was still in the water.
Seeing Yuyi's silence, the village chief's hopes that were instantly ignited were immediately dashed, and he asked, "Is it really God who wants to destroy our Huangpu Village?"
Yu Yi had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, I am here and I will definitely solve the problem of fish monsters in the village, but let me think about how to deal with it first."
After saying goodbye, Yu Yi went to Zou's room, which had been tidied up. Zou held Yu Daye in his arms and saw Yu Yi coming. She felt sad at the thought of being separated soon and couldn't stop crying. He stood down and said: "I don't know when I will meet my husband again after this separation!"
Infected by the atmosphere, Yu Yi couldn't help but shed tears and said: "I will establish a foothold in Xichuan as soon as possible, and then I will pick you up and live a good life with Yu Daye!"
Lei Chunze's wife and children were also among these people. He also faced such a problem. Only Huang Shumin was alone, but she was also infected by this atmosphere.
After leaving Zou's room, Yu Yi walked up to Huang Shumin and said, "The safety measures have been taken."
Huang Shumin nodded and said: "This time I selected 4 top-notch beings from the female soldiers and the male soldiers. My wife should be fine."
Yuyi considered that Huangpu Village has a special geographical location and it is difficult for ordinary administrative jurisdiction to penetrate, so he bet his family's safety on this place.
