Chapter 140 I’ll teach you
At night, the village was completely dark.
The lights that were on in some houses were now turned off.
Xu Heng and the two of them worked in tandem and kept crawling back and forth in the village.
The route forward was very confusing. The man was leading the way. The sense of direction was clear, but it was strange. He had already reached a certain place, but the man walked around to the front and then walked back, and then returned to the same place again. .
Without saying a word, he continued to move forward.
Such an unnecessary roundabout route made Xu Heng suspicious for a while and felt that something was wrong.
Is this brother pretending to be stupid to fool me?
“Brother, walk faster, we will be there soon.” The man urged.
“Brother, do you feel that you are taking a detour?” Xu Heng asked slowly.
"Huh?" The man was stunned and scratched his head: "No, we have been walking like this since childhood, otherwise we will get lost."
"oh?"
Xu Heng was shocked when he heard this, and then his face became condensed.
interesting!
There are only two possibilities for this situation, either the eldest brother has been deceived since childhood, or there is a legendary formation in this place.
The formation...that's a very mysterious thing.
Is this village a place left by immortals? Could there really be some secret to becoming an immortal?
“Brother, I’m tired from walking. I’ll wait here for you.”
Xu Heng couldn't help but put himself to the test.
At a place where he needed to take a detour, he simply stood still and let his elder brother take the detour himself.
The eldest brother didn’t think much about it. He just stubbornly believed that he needed to go like this. He agreed and left on his own.
Within a moment, he came back, running towards Xu Heng with a naive smile on his face
“Brother, I’m back!”
“Okay big brother, big brother is awesome!”
Xu Heng said with a speechless face and curled his lips, not very interested and disappointed.
The two of them continued to move forward, but nothing unexpected happened.
This also made Xu Heng more convinced that there were a lot of wrongdoings ahead!
Why don’t you get lost if you don’t go that way!
fart!
Brother, you are definitely being deceived!
Shaking with anger and coldness!
Fools are all fooling you, do you still have a sense of public morality?
“Brother, the house in front is the old village owner’s house, but the road ahead is even more difficult and requires many laps.” The man said with a naive smile.
…”
Xu Heng said calmly: "Brother, believe me, there is no need to go around next time, we will go directly."
"Huh?" The man was startled: "Isn't this bad? My mother told me that we need to be more careful here..."
He hesitated a little, not knowing who to listen to.
Although I need to listen to what my mother says, what my brother said is certainly not wrong. What should I do?
"Okay, then you go around a bit, I'll wait for you here." Xu Heng said calmly, looking eagerly at the small courtyard in front of him.
"Okay, my brother is really smart, he can think of such a solution that has both ends." The man was very excited, ecstatic, and looked at Xu Heng with admiration.
Then he started to go around in circles again.
The direction and position of the walk were very weird. Sometimes it was like avoiding the air. Sometimes it was clearly a straight road, but it suddenly turned left towards the corner, and then turned around and walked in another direction.
He wanted to sneak in early, but he was a little unsure.
After all, I don’t know whether the old village owner is at home or not. What if I were at home and barged in alone, wouldn't I be falling into a trap?
So it’s best to be a little patient and let your elder brother carry you through.
This is definitely not to let the eldest brother be cannon fodder to explore the road, but as the ancients said, there is strength in numbers!
That’s right, that’s it!
So, Xu Heng sat on the roadside and watched his elder brother running around like a child not far away.
Taking advantage of this boring time, he also chatted a few words with his elder brother and learned some information about him.
The eldest brother’s name is Liu Haizhu. He is a native of Yaozi Village. Both his parents have died. Now he only lives with Liu Guifen.
At first glance, I didn’t think there was anything strange about this.
But while chatting, Xu Heng discovered something strange.
Liu Haizhu actually said that his parents had just passed away a while ago and were taken to become immortals by the old village master.
“Again becoming an immortal?” Xu Heng was stunned.
“That’s right, brother ruthless, many people in the village were taken by the old village owner to become immortals. Only a few of us didn’t want to become immortals, so we stayed here.”
Liu Haizhu responded seriously and explained smoothly: "Actually, I wanted to go with my parents to become immortals, but your sister-in-law said she didn't want to go and asked me to stay with her."
“You’re right not to go!” Xu Heng responded angrily.
As the two of them chatted like this, Xu Heng became quite familiar with Liu Haizhu.
He still called Liu Haizhu his eldest brother, but after Liu Haizhu knew his name, he called him "Brother Heng" instead.
I don’t know if it’s an accent problem or a brain problem, but I always call him “Ruthless Brother”!
Xu Heng corrected him several times and failed to correct it, so he gave up and could only pretend silently that what he heard was "Hard Emperor", which was much more domineering.
After a while, Liu Haizhu finally completed the detour and came to Xu Heng's side again.
Finally we can move on.
The two of them soon arrived at the door of the old village owner's house and stopped temporarily to observe.
This courtyard is probably the largest and most magnificent in Yaozi Village.
Other people's shabby houses are basically just a small room with only one floor.
The old village owner's house is two or three stories high and covers a large area, equivalent to seven or eight other people's small shabby houses, and there is a large yard outside.
There seemed to be several plots of land in the yard that had been cultivated and planted, but they were now abandoned and covered with withered grass.
The big three- and two-story house was also dark at the moment, eerily quiet, and exuded a sense of gloom and coldness.
“Brother, it seems that the old village leader is not at home. How about we come back next time?” Liu Haizhu took one look and was about to go home.
“Brother, what are you thinking about? It doesn’t matter if he’s not at home.”
Xu Heng hurriedly grabbed him: "After all, it was the old village leader who apologized to you first, so we went to the treasure house to get some things ourselves, even if we had to give an explanation. The old village master understands the righteousness and will definitely understand our intentions. "
“That makes sense!” Liu Haizhu nodded seriously.
“Let’s go, lead the way!” Xu Heng made a gesture to please leave.
“Okay ruthless brother.”
Liu Haizhu immediately stepped forward, but did not go to the main entrance. Instead, he took Xu Heng all the way to the other side of the yard and stopped at a corner of the wall.
He knelt down and pulled away a pile of straw, revealing a dog hole, and then he stuck his buttocks out and crawled in.
Looking at his appearance, it seems that he has been here many times before.
“Brother, can’t you climb over the wall?” Xu Heng was speechless.
You are such a tall person, you can't climb such a short courtyard wall, but you have to struggle through this shabby dog hole?
"I...I don't know how to climb over the wall." Liu Haizhu said with embarrassment after getting in hard.
“It’s okay, I’ll teach you.”
Xu Heng responded calmly, with his hands behind his back, as if he were a master: "Brother, I will only show it once, so you should keep an eye on it!"
