Chapter 488: Mercenary

The group of people walked toward the outside of the village, naturally attracting the attention of many tribesmen.

Compared with the first time I came to Ruoye River, the situation this time was very different.

I still remember that as soon as I walked to the entrance of the village when I came back, the dogs in the village started barking, and some unleashed vicious dogs even bared their teeth at Chu Yang.

But it was different when they left. When the village vicious dogs saw Chu Yang and others, not only did they not dare to bark, they even got into the kennel with their tails between their legs. They only dared to watch them from a distance with their eyes. If they happened to be caught by Chu Yang, At first glance, these guys were like children who had made a mistake, carefully burying their heads in the doghouse, not daring to look at him again.

After discovering this phenomenon, Chu Yang was slightly surprised.

Although this Taotie was just a remnant soul, the residual power left on him was so strong that it made these usually vicious watchdogs tremble. It was really powerful.

It's a pity that the remnant soul of Taotie cannot be summoned on its own. If it could be produced, it might be of great use.

"Hello, miss."

"Hello, young master."

"Hello, Miss Zixi."

While Chu Yang was lost in thought, he suddenly heard voices in his ears. He turned around and saw that it was a middle-aged man who was greeting everyone respectfully.

Seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Chu Yang suddenly remembered that this person was the person Wei Yuxin called "Thirteenth Uncle" when he first entered the village.

I still remember that when Wei Yuxin greeted him, his attitude was very bad, as if he pretended not to hear, not even a nod.

But at this time, his attitude was completely different. There was even some flattery in his flattering eyes, which made Chu Yang feel a little creepy.

"Hello, Uncle Thirteen."

Wei Yuxin didn't care, she nodded with a smile and continued walking out of the village.

On the way, people kept saying hello, and without exception, these people's attitude towards Wei Yuxin changed drastically. Even those long-tongued women called her "Yuxin" with such enthusiasm that people could mistakenly think that they were a family.

The road across the village was only a kilometer long, but people kept saying hello while walking along this stretch. It took about twenty minutes for everyone to leave the village.

The most speechless thing is that the old man whom Wei Yuxin called his ninth uncle relied on his seniority to make Wei Yuxin and the others chat. During the conversation, he also mentioned his grandson from time to time, saying that his grandson had good qualifications and was also At the foundation-building stage of his cultivation, if Chu Yang lacks someone to help him, it would still be okay to take him to run errands.

Chu Yang secretly laughed. The last time he entered the village, he was seen by this old man, and he interrogated him carefully. He was very dissatisfied with Wei Yuxin for bringing a stranger back, as if he was interrogating a prisoner. But this time, he was as familiar with his own family as he was with him. Don't treat Chu Yang as an outsider.

Although the old man was sophisticated, his age and seniority made it difficult for Chu Yang to refuse him face to face. He only said that the manpower was enough for the time being, and if he needed more people next time, he would give priority to his grandson.

It wasn't until Wei Sizhe nodded in agreement that the old man let Chu Yang go without hesitation.

After walking onto the road in the fields, everyone completely relaxed. The philistine behavior of the tribe just now made the Wei family's faces burn. If Wei Sizhe hadn't stopped them, Wei Zirui couldn't help but laugh in front of them.

Everyone was in a good mood, talking and laughing all the way, and soon the water village was in sight.

When they arrived at the place where the boat was parked, Wei Sizhe said, "The helicopter is still waiting outside, so I won't send you there. If you need anything, call us. The contact point is always manned."

In order to isolate the inside and outside, there are no base stations around the village. There is only a communication point set up on a hilltop dozens of miles away, which can receive satellite calls. On weekdays, Wei Yuxin can only communicate with her family through the person on duty at the contact point.

"I know, big brother and second brother, take care of yourself, and you little ones, you must practice hard. If you have the chance to go to Jiangzhou, I will take you to play."

After waving goodbye, the four of them turned around and boarded the boat.

"Seventh Uncle, please excuse me."

Wei Sizhe clasped his fists at the old man standing on the bow of the boat.

The seventh uncle still wore the bamboo hat, shook his head and said: "This is what the old man does, no matter how hard it is."

After speaking, he said to the stone behind the boat: "Let's go."

The last time we came, it was Uncle Seven who was holding the boat at the stern, but this time he was using stones.

After hearing the order, Stone propped it up on the shore with bamboo poles, and the boat drifted downstream along the Ruoye River.

On the way back, the excitement was no longer there. Several people stood outside the cabin, looking at the gradually smaller village.

"Yu Xin, there's heavy fog on the stream today. You'd better go into the cabin to avoid getting caught in the dew steam."

The seventh uncle was silent for a moment and then took the initiative to remind a few people.

"It's out of the way."

Wei Yuxin heard him take the initiative to speak and started chatting: "Seventh uncle, you are over eighty this year. I heard that the clan wants to arrange someone else to take your place. Why don't you agree?"

The seventh uncle's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was reminiscing about something.

"The old man has never had any skills in his life. He just learned some skills in punting and sailing boats, and he is a welcome and transporter for the clan, just to supplement some family expenses."

Wei Yuxin asked curiously: "I heard from my eldest brother that the clan will provide support to those who have difficulties in life. It stands to reason that your life will not be so embarrassing, right?"

The seventh uncle was silent for a moment, and then said after a pause: "Since my son died in the war, the only seedling left in the family is Shitou. The two of us depend on each other, living on a few acres of thin farmland and subsidies from the clan, and on weekdays we go boating. By selling my strength, my life is pretty good.

However, Shitou is growing up, and I can't let my precious grandson become a farmer in the future, so I simply let him worship Wei Tuzi in the village as his teacher and learn some physical training. As the saying goes, poor people learn literature and rich people learn martial arts. This martial arts training is different from ordinary ones, so the cost is naturally much higher. In addition, I have to pay tribute to Wei Tuzi frequently, so life is a bit difficult..."

"I think this Wei Tuzi is teaching blindly, and what he learns is all a mess."

Originally, Chu Yang was leaning against the cabin door to listen to the conversation between the two, but later he couldn't help but interrupt.

After hearing this, the seventh uncle kept silent, but Shitou had a bad temper. He slapped the water with a bamboo pole and said angrily: "I am learning serious kung fu, and the master is also teaching very hard!"

"That means your master is also a half-baked one, and he probably hasn't built a foundation yet?"

Chu Yang looked back and said lightly.

"You...! "

Shitou was a little angry, but Chu Yang was telling the truth. Wei Tuzi had practiced martial arts for more than 30 years, but he was only in the middle stage of Qi training. He couldn't refute it, so he simply stopped rowing the boat and stared at Chu Yang.

"Shitou, keep rowing the boat."

Until the seventh uncle spoke, Shitou snorted coldly and went to get the bamboo pole.

The boat continued to move forward, and the seventh uncle asked hesitantly: "Young master, I wonder what you meant by what you said just now?"

Chu Yang stretched and said: "I'm tired of standing. If the uncle is interested, let's go into the cabin to talk?"

"Then, the old man will go and listen."

The seventh uncle hesitated for a moment and went into the cabin with a few people.
