Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The biggest reason why Linjia Village can survive here, besides some hunters, is that everyone here practices martial arts. Although we can't say how good they are, at least their physical fitness is much stronger.

Chen Xu had only heard of it, but had never seen it. The outside world knew very little about Linjia Village, except for a terrifying woman...

He remembered the other person's appearance, which he had seen in the commune that year. The woman, or girl, was called Lin Chan. She was very beautiful and very famous in the area. She would often carry her prey to the commune to exchange for some things.

A well-known tough guy in the area, he is said to be able to knock down a tiger with his bare hands...

Chen Xu certainly didn't believe it. Could it be a female version of Wu Song? Besides, he had seen her before. Compared with ordinary girls, apart from being more well-developed, there was nothing abnormal about her.

The biggest difference is probably that they are very strong. Chen Xu has seen this girl carrying a wild boar and walking around the commune casually.

Come to think of it, his previous life had some feelings for this girl.

After all, humans are visual animals, especially boys, who have little resistance to beautiful people of the opposite sex.

However, the two of them had no intersection, and it was just some confused feelings.

Chen Xu's arrival did not attract much attention from the people of Linjia Village. Firstly, there were many people trying to find some food in the mountains, and secondly, the people of Linjia Village still had some impression of Chen Xu.

The old man standing in front of him now is the village chief of Linjia Village and also the person with the highest seniority in Linjia Village.

"I remember you are from Chenjia Village, right?"

The old man asked uncertainly. Chen Xu's original body had indeed come here a few times, but that was several years ago.

"Yes, Grandpa Lin, my mother is Li Aizhen."

This is how Chen Xu remembered calling it, so it is naturally the same now.

"It's Aizhen's child. He's okay. He's a little thin, but at least he's alive... Alas."

Chen Xu came here with my mother that year, and my mother seemed to be very familiar with the village chief. Chen Xu decisively brought up the name of his deceased mother to increase his persuasiveness.

The old village chief seemed to recall something and said with a sigh.

"Someone saw your mother's grave when he was out of the mountains, and came back to tell me about it. I'm so sorry."

Chen Xu nodded slightly. He didn't want to say more about this matter. After all, he was not the original body and didn't have much feelings for Chenjia Village.

The old village chief looked him up and down and asked again.

"You don't want to go into the mountains?"

"No, Grandpa Lin, I'm a buyer for the Sijiu City Steel Mill now, and I want to see if I can exchange some prey or something like that."

To be honest, Chen Xu was not very good at chatting.

The old village chief's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again.

"If it was last year, there were still some prey in the village. This year, it's hard to say. Maybe there will be some if you are lucky. If you want to change prey, you can only go to Lin Chan and Lin Qing. Now they are the only ones who can go deep into the mountains to hunt."

Chen Xu had an impression of Lin Chan, but had no impression of Lin Qing at all, so he asked immediately.

"Grandpa Lin, which room does Lin Chan live in?"

The old man's mouth twitched, wondering if this kid was up to some weird idea.

"For Aizhen's sake, I still want to remind you that Chan is not someone that ordinary people can mess with."

Chen Xu's face was full of black lines. He really didn't think that much. He just felt that he had at least seen Lin Chan before. The memory of his original body was somewhat fuzzy, so he only had a rough idea of ​​what Lin Chan looked like.

"Grandpa Lin, I really just came here to exchange some things..."

"Okay, you decide..."

The old village chief obviously didn't believe it. It was difficult to persuade a person who was looking for death with kind words, so he just gave a reminder for the sake of the son of an acquaintance. It was up to Chen Xu whether to listen or not.

"I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Grandpa Lin."

The two walked towards the village. Chen Xu paid attention to the environment of Linjia Village from time to time. This place was indeed very poor. Most of the houses were built with stones and wood. It was not even as good as Chenjia Village before the famine. But now Linjia Village could still barely survive, while their Chenjia Village had already been disbanded. It was really unpredictable.

They came to a dilapidated farmhouse, which was similar to Chen Xu's hometown, with several rooms and a yard. The only difference was that Chen Xu's house was made of bricks and tiles.

"Is the third girl here?"

The old village chief didn't even knock on the door, but shouted directly outside the yard.

Chen Xu was still wondering if Lin Chan was the third child in the family, but then an old lady came out.

"Master is here, come in and sit down."

The aunt opened the door and welcomed the two of them in, but she kept looking at Chen Xu from time to time.

Chen Xu was inexplicably nervous. What the hell was that way the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law?

The two were asked to sit in the main room and a bowl of water was poured for them. Then the aunt also sat down, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her calloused hands, waiting for the village chief to speak. She seemed even more nervous than Chen Xu.

The old village chief's face was wrinkled into a ball. It was obvious that he felt that the atmosphere was not like doing business, but a blind date. Although the girl had not arrived yet, the boy and the girl's parents had already met...

"Ahem, ahem, Third Girl, Xiao Chen is looking for Lin Chan to buy prey, not here for a blind date..."

"Ah, that's it..."

The aunt was obviously a little disappointed. She finally got a man to come into her house, but it ended up being a misunderstanding.

"Cicada girl hasn't come back yet."

"No, I went out last night and I haven't come back yet."

Chen Xu was terrified. At night! How dare this girl go into the mountains at night?

You have to know that entering the mountains during the day and entering the mountains at night are completely different concepts. If entering the mountains during the day is very dangerous, then entering the mountains at night is at least several levels more dangerous. It will be basically difficult for people who are not particularly familiar with the mountains to come back.

"Then let's wait a little longer. It should be soon. Usually they come back around this time."

The old village chief was not in a hurry and simply waited. The purchasing agent had never been to their Linjia Village, but he had heard of this position. Their place was too remote and most people might not know that there was a village here. Even if they knew, they could not get in by bicycle.

Then Chen Xu's torment began. The aunt kept asking questions all over the place, almost digging out everything from Chen Xu's birth to the present. Obviously, she still hadn't given up.

Chen Xu was speechless. Based on the looks of Lin Chan in his memory, there was no reason why she couldn't get married. Why did she act like she was in such a hurry to give her daughter away?

The aunt was naturally very anxious. It was not that no one had come to her house before, but Lin Chan looked down on her. She punched her directly and even threatened her that unless she could beat her, she should forget about it.

But although this girl is only nineteen years old now, her fighting skills are no joke. Chen Xu thought it was an exaggeration to say that this girl could knock down a tiger, but in fact, this is the truth.

There were actually some large animals around the mountains, but they were either killed by this girl or they were scared and fled far away into the mountains.

Chen Xu had no idea how terrifying the other party was.
