"..."
Pei Wende, who had already anticipated the completely different attitudes and reactions of the father and son, did not say much.
Pei Wende could clearly feel Zhao Mu's jealousy and determination from the first time he came into contact with him.
As for Ah Da’s indecision?
Some clues can be seen from the fact that he did not dare to contact the villagers for more than ten years and did not make much noise after learning the truth.
The contradiction between the father and son with very different personalities before them is not just a sense of strangeness that they have not seen for more than ten years.
Especially without the role of Zhu Nu, who can act as a "glue", it would be the best outcome for them to hate each other and not turn against each other.
"I happen to be going to your village, so let's go together!"
Walking directly to Zhao Mu, Pei Wende looked at the young man in front of him who was pretending to be calm, and then issued his invitation.
"You want to go to our village?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhao Mu raised his head in surprise, but also A Da on the side couldn't help but cast a surprised look.
"Yes, because the person I'm looking for is most likely in your village."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the village of mist, in a thatched house that is not too big.
"Oh, what a debt!"
As if she sensed something, the old woman, known as "Fish Woman" by the villagers, turned her head and glanced in the direction of the house, her eyes becoming even more miserable.
"Debts must be paid in the end. This is retribution!"
After Yu Po said these words, a silver needle slowly inserted into the "mirage statue" in her hand.
Then the third one, the third one...
As the silver needles were inserted into the statue one by one, the "mirage dragon statue", which was covered in red and half of its body had reverse scales, began to squirm like a living creature.
A roar that only the fish woman could hear reached her ears, but she remained unmoved and continued to insert the silver needle into the statue.
Chi!
When the last silver needle was inserted into the counter scale under the statue's jaw, a crisp sound spread throughout the entire sculpture.
The next moment, a crack visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared on the statue, and there was a faint tendency to split it into two.
"Fish woman?"
At this moment, a man who was as thin as a skeleton pushed open the door of the hut and looked at the fish woman who seemed to have exhausted most of her energy.
"There's nothing wrong with me here. The old man's side is the one who has trouble."
The cloudy eyes opened at this moment, and the fish woman sighed in a low voice with a tone that could not distinguish between sadness and joy.
"The old man is obviously old, but he still has to act like a young man."
"As a result, I met a more tyrannical character this time, and now I'm afraid it has become part of the fog."
Upon hearing this, the look of surprise in the man's eyes flashed, and then turned into a deeper darkness.
"Are you saying that our arrangements did not deceive the 'guests' He invited?"
Nodding her head in the affirmative, the fish lady said with great certainty.
"Although I don't know what went wrong, he is indeed walking towards the village now."
"Get those bastards in the village ready!"
"If we are unlucky, this could be our last day on this earth."
Her tone was still calm, and when Yu Po said this, it was as if she was just explaining what she should eat tomorrow.
"I see."
Slowly pulling the door open, the skeletal man quietly closed the door of the thatched house again just as he had appeared.
"Oh, I still refuse to give up after all!"
Watching the man leave, Yu Po, who had been filled with sadness and joy, finally raised her head, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Old man, you lost, and you lost completely."
"I have said it a long time ago. Mother Zhu and her son have strong personalities. Sooner or later they will die together after knowing the truth."
"You don't believe me. You insist on protecting mother and son in front of these idiots. That's why today's disaster happened."
As the fish woman talked to herself, this quiet thatched house seemed to be corrupted by some force, and began to dry up and decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Also, you are even willing to die for these stubborn idiots in the village."
"But after they heard the news of your death, they only cared about whether they could survive and didn't care about your sacrifice at all."
"Always trusting others, this will probably be your 'weakness' for the rest of your life."
"Fortunately, you still have me as your companion. You are not a complete loser in this life."
Sighing again, the fish woman's figure gradually disappeared along with the withered and declining thatched house, leaving only her last words.
"It's a pity that you and I don't have another life, otherwise I really want to reincarnate and see you again."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Boom...
Not far from the thatched house, the scrawny man heard a crashing sound behind him.
"The fish lady is gone too."
Without any intention of looking back, the man who heard the sound just whispered softly and walked towards the village on his own.
Because everyone in the village knows about Yu Po's affection for the village chief.
Even if he continues to "escape" in the misty village instead of venturing to the outside world to "reincarnate", it is purely because of the village chief's persuasion.
Now, since the old village chief is no longer here, it is natural for Yu Po to disappear.
The only thing the man didn't expect was that the fish lady didn't even have the idea of leaving the Mist Village, but chose to simply give up her obsession.
"Tell everyone, the 'outsiders' are coming back."
It didn't take long for the man to meet the first villager and tell him everything he knew.
"This is His counterattack. If we can't get through it, all of us will die today."
When he said this, the man hesitated briefly before continuing in a low voice.
"Also, remember to send the children in the village to the nearby hunting lodge."
"We may be hopeless, but the children may not be."
"After all, the children are His clones. Even if all of us die here today, it is possible for the children to continue to live."
After saying that, the skinny man seemed to have remembered something and emphasized again and again.
"I know some of you have other things on your mind."
"But now that we have reached this point, please still show your previous momentum."
"As the saying goes, ants can still survive. I don't want to have to kill two people to sacrifice the flag before the decisive battle."
