When Wu Fan followed Fang Wei into Fang's house, he never noticed the servant sweeping the floor. Just after being greeted by Sister Fang Wei, everyone turned their attention to the old man, and Wu Fan had just come into contact with this old man. People were shocked.
"Uncle the village chief?"
"Huh?" Uncle Chen didn't expect anyone to recognize him. He looked at Wu Fan in surprise and said, "You...are you...are you Xiaofan?"
Unexpectedly, these two unrelated people actually knew each other, and everyone in the hall was surprised.
"Uncle Village Chief, wasn't Woxi Village... burned down? How did you get here?"
"Alas..." The old man's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up: "Maybe this is God's will! I can survive the catastrophe only because of the life-saving pill your mother gave me!"
It turns out that in those years, the village chief received many gifts of elixirs from Wu Fan's mother, and because the village chief was alone, he drank all the elixirs for himself without rejecting anyone who came to him. He was already very old and in poor health. But it seemed like a young guy lived inside, and he became very lively.
That day, a group of people came to Woxi Village and said they were looking for something, but the simple villagers had never heard of it. After several exchanges of words, those people went on a killing spree, killing all the villagers.
This group of people was not only ruthless but also thoughtful. In order to prevent others from being caught, they actually burned the entire village to the ground and then left. But he didn't expect that someone actually regained some vitality, rolled down from the pile of corpses, fell into the river, and drifted away.
Although he survived by luck, most of the skin on his body was burned. If he did not get timely treatment, he would not live long.
It happened that the Fang family was doing a routine inspection that day and saw a "corpse" by the river, so they went to check and found that the man was dying and hanging. The head of the Fang family was kind-hearted, so he sent someone to revive him and heal him. At that time, there was a shortage of a supervisor in the family. He saw that although this person was quite old, he had a strong body and was very organized in speaking and doing things, so he kept him.
"I originally planned to go to the Jade Pot Sect to look for you, but I heard from others that the Jade Pot Sect has been..." Uncle Chen held Wu Fan's hand tightly with both hands, and said with sadness and joy: "Fortunately, you came back safely! That’s good, that’s good!”
"Uncle Village Chief, do you remember who the murderer is?" Wu Fan calmed the village chief's mood and asked nervously.
"Of course I remember! But those people were all dressed in black and masked, so I couldn't identify them..." The village chief frowned, narrowed his eyes in thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, I remember The leader is wearing a dark green robe, and the black scarves on the faces of his followers are embroidered with the words "arms and feet"..."
"Sure enough, it's these beasts!" The village chief's words confirmed Wu Fan's suspicion that day. But I don’t know who the person named Laoshan Zun was later. It sounds like he came here for something. Anyway, he must be in the same group.
While Wu Fan was thinking, his mind suddenly moved. He stood up and smiled at Fang Wei: "Brother Fang Wei, two sisters, I'm afraid I have to go to someone else's house to eat this meal."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a gentle knock on the door. When Uncle Chen opened the door and took a look, his expression suddenly changed and he almost fell to the ground: "You...what are you doing back here again!"
When the loser saw this, he hurriedly supported Uncle Chen gently, with a pleasant look on his face: "Uncle Chen, I was rude just now. I apologize for this."
Then he bowed his hands, bowed and walked into the room step by step, and said very politely: "These distinguished guests were so blind just now that they spoke arrogantly and offended everyone. After we returned, our adults were furious and asked me Come to atone for your sins. So in order to make amends for your sins, I would also like to ask you to come to the alms house. We have prepared a sumptuous banquet to entertain you all!"
"Oh? You're not trying to play another trick, are you?" The second sister of the Fang family squinted at his hypocritical appearance.
"Absolutely not."
"Well, it just so happens that none of us have eaten yet, so how about we go together?"
"Second Miss Fang, my master said that several friends of the Fang family will entertain us separately. Today we mainly want to meet Miss Shi's friends."
When Wu Fan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Shi Yurou was back too? He glanced at Fang Wei and saw him shaking his head. He also had a sense of proportion in his heart and said: "Since City Master Shi sincerely invites me, I really can't shirk it. You two sisters are too tired today, so you should have a good rest first. Don't worry about us. Xiaofan will bother you again in the future, so say goodbye!"
After saying that, he motioned to the man to lead the way, saluted Yuan Hua and Huang Qilin, then turned and left.
Cang Lao City is not small, but it is not big either. After a while, a few people arrived in front of the magnificent building. Although there are several big families in Cang Lao City, the Shi family is rich and powerful. Even the mosquitoes that fly into the house are coated with a layer of gold.
In the hall, the jewels and jewels were even more dazzling than the sun in the sky. For a while, several people were dizzy and uncomfortable. On a chair inlaid with gold and jade above the hall, a rude-looking man was lazily leaning on it. Wu Fan couldn't help but rub his eyes.
This man was drinking from a jug when he suddenly caught a glimpse of several people walking in. He quickly threw the jug away, wiped it casually on his body, jumped off the stage, laughed loudly and said: "Drink hahaha, this is it." My little friend Wu Fan? You are indeed pretty, no wonder my wild girl talks about you every three days when she is at home, come here and let me take a good look."
Wu Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could such a person with such a rude language and rough appearance give birth to a daughter as beautiful as a flower? But on the surface, he still managed to smile and said: "I have heard about the name of the city lord for a long time, and today I saw that he is indeed free and easy, bold and majestic!"
When City Master Shi heard this, he immediately felt that this boy was very to his liking. He became familiar with each other. The more they talked, the more they became more and more congenial. City Master Shi wanted to drag Wu Fan to become a brother with a different surname no matter what. Wu Fan was shocked. , I put this matter aside after some hard talk.
During this period, the food was also served on the table. Although several people had been hungry for a long time, they restrained themselves a little out of sympathy. When they saw City Master Shi's devouring the sky and the earth, several people also started devouring the food. It was like a speed competition was taking place at the banquet.
The banquet, which was originally a smooth flow, turned into a race. The servants were very nervous and extremely busy, but fortunately, it was finally solved perfectly, and everyone at the table and under the table let out a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wu Fan, hiccup, you have been very popular recently!"
"Uncle Shi, I don't know where to start from?" City Lord Shi originally wanted Wu Fan to call him Brother Shi, but Wu Fan thought that if Shi Yurou knew that he had become her elder brother for no reason, he would definitely kill him, so he said something They also refused to agree, so they took a compromise approach and asked everyone to do their own thing.
"I accidentally got a reward list, and I didn't expect it to be you. What else are you hiding from my brother?"
"This..." Wu Fan seemed to have sobered up after hearing this and didn't know how to explain it.
"Hahaha... Don't worry, brother! Your eldest brother is my favorite hero! As long as you are here, no one dares to touch you! And can you tell me how you got on the list? Can you let me also print it? Up there?"
Wu Fan had a black streak on his head. He didn't expect City Master Shi to have such a hobby. He smacked his lips and said nothing.
"That's right! Brother Wufan, be careful! Someone is inquiring about you. He said...he said..." Before City Master Shi could finish his words, he tilted his body and fell to the side.
"Brother...why am I dizzy..." Yuan Hua let go of the wine glass in his hand and lay down on the table.
"There's something in the food..." Although Huang Qilin didn't drink, his expression suddenly became condensed and he fell to the ground.
"What's wrong with you? Uncle! Yuan Hua! Brother Huang! Wake up... wake up..." Wu Fan was about to get up, tripped on his feet, fell to the ground, and never got up again.
Because the servants had been sent away after serving the dishes, the hall was very quiet except for the sound of snoring.
"Dang! Dang! Dang...dang!"
As a gold wine glass was kicked over, a man in a blue and white robe walked out. This man was quite old, but energetic, with a red face, mixed black and white hair, and a well-maintained black beard.
He held his long sword, hugged his sleeves, and while stroking his beard, he looked at the movements of several people. Seeing the unconscious appearance of several people, he couldn't help but snorted: "These few boys can actually lose their lives." We two disciples are really ridiculous! Come on! Kill these guys!"
"Elder Hanjiang! Is the person you wanted to kill too?"
"Nonsense! I told you that I don't care about life or death! Then I'd better kill him directly to avoid a long night of nightmares!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
At this moment, only three sounds of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" were heard, and there was no movement behind him.
"Can't you guys keep your voices down? Take that kid away and leave the rest of the mess to this idiot!"
"Elder, which boy are you talking about?"
"I said you guys don't have any brains. If that doesn't work, let people from outside come in. You are a bunch of losers!" Lu Hanjiang turned around and was about to curse, but when he saw the three people in front of him, he was stunned.
Wu Fan, Yuan Hua, and Huang Qilin could not be seen looking unconscious. The three of them stared at him with evil smiles on their faces. On the other hand, the three disciples of Jian Xingju had fallen to the ground unconscious.
"Damn it! How are you doing this? You can't figure it out even though you're under the influence of drugs?" Lu Hanjiang shouted to the room where food was being prepared next door with a sinister look on his face.
But no one spoke, and the curtain opened, and three men came out carrying a Jianxingju disciple, and then threw it in front of him with a few thumps.
"Brother, these people are sneaky and don't look like good people at first sight. They have been dealt with by a few of us."
Lu Hanjiang trembled with anger when he heard this, thinking where did this person come from?
"Jia Laoer, what's going on with you? Why did you make City Master Shi faint?" Yuan Hua complained quietly when he saw a few people coming out.
"That's not right, we have already disposed of all the poisoned drugs!" Jia Laoer scratched his head and hurriedly approached City Master Shi and poked him in the body.
"Here! Bring the wine! I want to get drunk with my brother!" City Master Shi suddenly muttered.
"It seems...he is just drunk..." Wufan had a headache.
