The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Although Old Man He took the initiative to invite, but when Shen Fan readily agreed, he was stunned for a moment.

People who are away from home are more or less defensive. When most people encounter warm invitations from strangers for no reason, they will politely decline. Shen Fan doesn't even want to agree directly, and he has no vigilance. So many times, It was also the first time seeing old man He.

But that's good too, after all, it's not bandits, if they can't be rough, old man He and the others don't want to be rough.

The old man He winked at his son He Zhu and several young people who were of the same generation as He Zhu, and He Zhu and the others quietly put away the sacks and ropes they were going to use.

"My lord, let's go, I'll show you the way." Old man He said cheerfully, looking very kind-hearted.

Shen Fan didn't move, he sighed and said, "I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore."

"Then..." Old Man He called He Zhu over, "Please carry this young master on your back."

He Zhu grinned, with a simple and honest look, he squatted in front of Shen Fan, motioning for Shen Fan to come up.

Shen Fan still didn't move, sighed again and said: "Being carried by someone is too painful, it's uncomfortable."

This kid is stupid, but there are many things.Old man He thought for a while and thought of a good thing.

"Young master, there is a bamboo sedan chair in our village. Let them carry the bamboo sedan chair over for you. How about you go on the bamboo sedan chair?"

Shen Fan readily agreed: "Okay."

Old man He sent two young people to carry it, he looked at Shen Fan's innocent expression, and thought to himself that you brought this to the door.

There are generally no sedan chairs in the countryside, and it is not the big families in the city who have to take a sedan chair when they go out. The bamboo sedan chair in their village is used to carry the groom when sending off the wedding. The previous grooms were all tied up on it. Shen Fan is now I took the initiative to sit on it and threw myself into the trap, no wonder others.

After a stick of incense, the person who carried the sedan chair came back.

"My lord, please." Old man He said with a smile.

Shen Fan got up, but seemed to think of something again, he sat back again, and regretfully said to the sedan chair, "Someone asked me to wait for him here."

"It's okay." Old man He said, "Let's leave a note here, tell him that you went to rest in the village, and let him come to look for it later."

good idea.Shen Fan gave old man He an appreciative look, and the two hit it off immediately. Old man He ordered someone to find a pair of paper and pens, and asked Shen Fan to write a note, put it on the side of the road, and held it down with a stone.

There was no problem with Shen Fan, he sat on the bamboo sedan chair, and after only a short while, the bamboo sedan chair was already scorched by the sun, so Shen Fan urged: "Let's go."

Several people in Hekou Village looked at each other, and some ridicule flashed in their eyes that Shen Fan didn't notice.

What a fool.

"Hey, let's go now." Old man He's expression became more and more kind. After all, Shen Fan can be said to be the most cooperative one of so many times.

Two strong young men came over and lifted the bamboo sedan chair one after the other, but they were not heading towards the village, but toward the river.

But Shen Fan didn't know his way when he first came here, and he didn't find anything unusual. Similarly, he didn't notice either. After they left, He Zhu secretly ran back. He took away the note under the stone, and kicked the stone away. , Cleaned up the footprints and other traces at the scene, and made sure that Shen Fan's seemingly uncomfortable companion could not be traced before leaving.

Not long after they left, Shen Fan started making requests again. Sometimes he was thirsty, sometimes hungry, and sometimes he thought the sedan chair was too wobbly, so he asked them to use another person to carry it.

He is so troublesome that everyone finds it annoying. The most delicate girls in ten miles and eight villages are not as delicate as him, but old man He thinks about it, the death row prisoner has to eat a full meal before he goes on the road, and he is about to marry the God of the River. Let's have more, so I satisfied Shen Fan's request one by one, replaced him with a sedan chair, and even made a special trip to get some grapes for him.

Shen Fan was not very satisfied, because the grapes in the countryside were not very delicate, they were all picked in the mountains, they were not yet ripe, and had a sour taste, but the road was bitter, so in comparison, he reluctantly accepted it. up.

When he lamented his hard work during this time, he subconsciously glanced around, and saw the river bank getting closer and closer. The Cangjiang River was mighty and surging.Looking at the front again, weeds are overgrown and deserted. It really doesn't look like a place with a village.

"Aren't you going to the village?" Shen Fan asked.

"It's going to the village, walk a little closer from this road." Old man He said with a smile, "You will be able to see the village in a while."

Shen Fan let out an "oh".

After a while, he still didn't see the village, but saw a pier and a temple-like building next to the pier from a distance.

"How much longer?" Shen Fan asked again.

"It's almost there." As the destination approached, Old Man He's tone was a little perfunctory.

"Really?" Shen Fan propped his face sideways with his hands, looking at old man He and said.

"Yes, my lord, just wait a little longer, it's almost here." Old man He glanced back, and met Shen Fan's gaze. Before, he only thought that this kid was stupid and easy to deceive, but at this moment, he felt that the eyes of those eyes were not good enough for no reason. It was dark and heavy, even deeper than the Cangjiang River.

Old man He muttered inwardly, thinking that it should be an illusion, this kid is obviously a fool.

There was someone chasing after them, it was He Zhu who had left traces of dealing with them. After He Zhu caught up with them, he walked to the old man He, and the father and son whispered a few words.

"It's been dealt with cleanly?" Old man He asked.

"It's clean, I can't find it anymore." He Zhu said, the note written by Shen Fan had been thrown into the river by him, and the traces had been cleaned up.

Shen Fan's dark eyes reflected their whispering backs, like a coast at low tide, after the things floating on the surface receded, the dark water below was exposed.

The bamboo sedan chair stopped at the side of the temple, and when I got closer, I found that there were many people gathered in the temple, including men and women, old and young, all of whom seemed to be from the same village as Old Man He and knew each other well.

The crowd looked at Shen Fan who was being carried over, with a bit of surprise on their faces. They were not only surprised by Shen Fan's rare appearance in this world, but also surprised that the groom this time was not kidnapped.

Old man He stepped forward to talk to several old men of similar age, who were his uncles and brothers.The rest of the younger generation came in and out of the temple, busy with offering sacrifices.The people carrying the sedan chair stood beside Shen Fan closely, staring closely, as if they were afraid that Shen Fan would run away.

It's all here, no matter how stupid people are, they should find out that something is wrong.

But Shen Fan's expression didn't seem to have changed. He was sitting on the bamboo palanquin, still idle and lazy, and there was an innocence of unknown circumstances.

"What is this place?" he asked.

"River God Temple." The people who carried the sedan chair had been ordered all the way by him, and they had long been dissatisfied. They were all on the left and right, and Shen Fan could not escape, so they threatened with malicious intentions, "You A face is worth a lot of money, right?"

"The girls in the building are not as beautiful as him. Selling him to Caiyunfang is worth at least this amount!" The speaker compared a number.

The rest of the people exclaimed, with greedy faces.

"Go, go! What nonsense!" He Zhu heard the conversation of several people, and stopped him.

"They're just joking, don't worry, they won't sell you." He Zhu smiled. He looks like a real countryman with dark and rough skin. He looks very simple and honest when he smiles, but what he said is: "Today is yours." Good day, we are going to have a happy event for you."

"That's right, I'm going to marry you a daughter-in-law!" The person next to him echoed.

"That's right, you don't need to pay a bride price to get a beautiful daughter-in-law for nothing. Others can't share such a good deed!"

Everyone said something to each other, making each other laugh.

Marry a wife?Shen Fan moved his eyes to the river temple, thoughtfully, and suddenly stood up from the bamboo sedan chair, wanting to go into the temple to have a look.

But several people around thought he was trying to run, and immediately surrounded him, and He Zhu went straight to catch him.

Four tall and burly men surrounded Shen Fan, wanting to do something wrong. When Xie Yunlan came, this was what he saw.

He didn't even think about it, and with an internal force, he shot out the stone bullets he had picked up on the side of the road, and hit He Zhu's overbearing palm.

He Zhu said "Ouch" and retracted his hand in pain. The other three realized that something was wrong and looked in the direction where the stone was shot.

I saw a handsome, strange man with a bamboo pole in his hand, and a murderous look between his brows galloping towards this side, and he had already rushed forward in an instant.

And, without saying a word after coming over, he directly swiped the bamboo pole in his hand, swept over He Zhu who was still shaking his hands in pain, and then stabbed and picked the other three people to the ground.

After clearing the surroundings, he stood in front of Shen Fan, his eyes dangerously scanning the crowd who hadn't reacted yet.

"What are you still looking at? Someone is coming to smash the scene!" He Zhu, who fell on the ground, roared.

Only then did the crowd wake up, and the young and middle-aged people stepped forward one after another, trying to take Xie Yunlan down.

There were a large number of them, tens of hundreds, and Xie Yunlan was alone. He didn't even have a decent weapon in his hand. There was only such a bamboo pole that was folded by the roadside, but he didn't have the slightest fear on his face. He held the bamboo pole in his hand. , Go forward.

The two sides fought together, this ordinary bamboo pole was powerful in Xie Yunlan's hands like a magical weapon, dozens of hundreds of people couldn't even touch his side, but were constantly repelled.

"Who is this person?!" Old man He said in surprise.

He Zhu had already got up from the ground, and now he ran to his father and said, "I was with that kid, I don't know how I found it!"

"Where did they come from?" The old man He had never been out of Hekou Village in his life, so he didn't have a lot of knowledge, but he could also see that Xie Yunlan's neat skills were absolutely extraordinary.

That is to say, what he was holding was a bamboo pole. If it were a long spear, there would have been many casualties on the ground.

But even so, the current situation is not very good. People keep lying down and screaming in pain.The man on the horse was like an evil god, but half of the people in Hekou Village were lying down in half a stick of incense.

"I don't know!" He Zhu was also shocked. He happened to bump into these two people at the tea stand, and he didn't know where they came from.

After half a stick of incense, the remaining half of the people were also knocked to the ground. All the people in Hekou Village died, and some were lying on the ground in pain and couldn't get up. To old man He.

Not to mention continuing to fight forward, Xie Yunlan just glanced at them, and they were frightened by the fierce look between the opponent's brows and retreated a few steps.

This time I'm afraid I kicked the iron board.The old man He complained in his heart, but he reacted very quickly. Before Xie Yunlan attacked again, he shouted: "This good man, we have no grievances or enmity with you, why do you hurt people?"

"You abducted my cousin with the intention of murdering him, how dare you say you are innocent?" Xie Yunlan pointed a bamboo pole at Old Man He's throat. Although the bamboo pole did not have a sharp edge, Xie Yunlan had a strong wind when he swung it. man with sore skin.

Old man He was so frightened that sweat dripped from his forehead. He tried to calm down and replied: "I am wronged! We just kindly invited him to come to the village to rest and be a guest. There was no force at all. He promised to come! If you don't believe me, you can ask him!"

Xie Yunlan did not see any wounds on Shen Fan's body, nor was there any trace of being bound by ropes, so he asked, "Is what he said true?"

Shen Fan walked up to him and said, "Really."

Seeing this, He Zhu quickly echoed, "Yes, we were kind. He said he was tired from walking, so we found a sedan chair to carry him. He said he was thirsty and hungry, so we specially brought him fruit."

Everyone also responded one after another, they spoke sincerely, after all, they really didn't have time to do anything bad, instead they were always serving Shen Fan.

Xie Yunlan glanced at Shen Fan, Shen Fan nodded, and He Zhu's words proved it.

The evil spirit between Xie Yunlan's eyebrows dissipated, showing a bit of embarrassment, could it be that he misunderstood?Just when he doubted himself, Shen Fan added with a simple face: "They invited me to be a guest, and they also said they would marry me a wife."

Marry a wife by the pier?Xie Yunlan's eyes became sharp again, he kicked He Zhu's chest, and said angrily, "How dare you argue!"
