The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 185 The Weird He Family Fort
Hejiabao is a small village at the foot of Weishan Mountain.

It is said to be a small village because it is a bit bigger than an ordinary village, but it is not as good as a real town.

The resident population of this town is only around a hundred households, and at its peak there were no more than 150 households, and most of them were people with the same surname as He.

And the most powerful in this He Family Fort is undoubtedly He Yuanwai's family.

It is said that He Yuanwai's family has settled here since the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be traced back to the blood of the Hu people outside the Great Wall.

This can also be seen from the appearance of their family. The high and protruding nose bridge is obviously not of Zhongyuan local blood, let alone the aborigines of Tanzhou, a land of Miao.

Of course, for the open Tang Dynasty, blood was not an important ethnic element.

On the contrary, He Yuanwai's family, who have settled in Tanzhou all year round, have long regarded themselves as orthodox Central Plains people, and their cultural customs are no different from real Tang people.

According to common sense, He Yuanwai's family must have a closer relationship with the people of Hejiabao than ordinary villagers, even if they are not blood relatives.

But from the moment Pei Wende stepped into Hejiabao, he keenly sensed the strange eyes of the villagers.

Or to be more precise, the eyes they looked at Steward He were full of fear and fear, which was not at all like the relationship between normal villagers.

"How is this going?"

Also aware of that strange look, Chihu didn't have so many scruples like Pei Wende, and immediately turned to look at Butler He next to him.

"hiss!"

The little green snake following behind also quietly poked its head out of its collar, staring at Butler He with frosty eyes.

"This……"

Being watched fiercely by two monsters at the same time, any normal person would be afraid, let alone the old Steward He.

"Little Master..."

So, Steward He looked tremblingly at Pei Wende who was walking in the front, as if asking him for help.

After all, Steward He has always noticed the red fox's striding steps along the way without taking a breath.

Although he still doesn't know the origin of the red fox, he also knows that she is definitely not an ordinary person.

Ask yourself, Steward He feels that even when he was young, he might not have the physical strength of this seemingly seductive woman.

"Actually, I really want to know this too. You must not have concealed some important information, right?"

Seeing this situation, Pei Wende turned his head in a timely manner, and asked in a rather puzzled tone.

"Why are the villagers so afraid? They can't possibly be afraid of me, right?"

When he said this, Pei Wende winked at the red fox calmly.

The red fox who knew it well immediately nodded tacitly, and then quietly disappeared from Butler He's sight.

At the same time, He Yuanwai's home in Hejiabao.

"Why hasn't Lao He come back yet? He has been away for two days!"

Anxiously walking back and forth in the courtyard, He Yuanwai, who was old but majestic, couldn't help lowering his head and sighing.

"Don't be so anxious, maybe he was just delayed on the road for a while."

Quietly by He Yuanwai's side, his married wife comforted him softly.

"Furthermore, Feng'er's illness has dragged on for such a long time, and it's not bad for a day or two."

She said so, but Mrs. He still couldn't help showing a worried look on her face.

After all, he is his own son. If there is no other way, who would give hope to the invisible and intangible gods and Buddhas.

"Everyone in the village knows about Feng'er's situation..."

"If this continues, they will burn Feng'er to death sooner or later!"

Yuanwai He glanced in the direction of the village worriedly, knowing that this should be his son's last chance.

If the "eminent monk" that Steward He found this time still couldn't help his son exorcise the evil spirits, those terrified villagers would rush in desperately and burn He Qinfeng to death.

Thinking about it differently, if He Yuanwai knew that someone else's son was He Qinfeng's current state, he would definitely try to get rid of him.

This is the instinctive reaction of all superstitious people to things they do not understand, and it is also the wisdom and experience left by our ancestors for thousands of years.

However, this time it was Yuanwai He's own son who hit the evil.

In the face of other people's sons, He Yuanwai can be ruthless, but in the face of his own son, like all fathers, he chose to shelter and tolerate.

Thanks to He Yuanwai's strength, he forcibly ignored the reaction of the village elders and insisted on keeping He Qinfeng until now.

Rao is so, it is already the limit to procrastinate until now.

Yuanwai He didn't doubt at all that if the "eminent monk" brought by Steward He this time could not cure Feng'er, people from the village would definitely break into the house.

By that time, the best outcome for the He family would be to be expelled from the village.

"In the end, don't you have to blame all of this!"

Seemingly thinking about the future fate of the family, Mrs. He gave her husband a helpless look.

"If you hadn't insisted on getting Feng'er to marry that vixen, how could he have ended up like this..."

As soon as this remark came out, Yuanwai He immediately showed guilt, but he still said stiffly.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Do you want to make this known to everyone?"

When he said this, Yuanwai He's tone paused for a moment, and then he sternly warned.

"What we have to do now is to firmly insist that Feng'er is simply hitting on evil..."

"As for the others? We don't know anything, are you clear?!"

"Especially in front of the eminent monks of Tongqing Temple, no matter what, you can't say anything wrong."

"They are much more troublesome than ordinary mages. At that time, please don't ask the gods to send the gods away."

Nodding helplessly, Mrs. He naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, she just couldn't control her emotions just now.

"Speaking of this, has Feng'er eaten today?"

Just when He Yuanwai asked his wife in this way, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the gate, and at the same time, there was a servant's cry of surprise.

"Master! Master! The steward is back! The steward is back!"

After hearing the servant's voice, Yuanwai He immediately looked happy, and ran towards the door without hesitation.

Naturally, Yuanwai He didn't see Mrs. He's gloomy expression the moment he turned around.

"..."

Silently staring at the back of her husband going away, Mrs. He no longer showed any emotion on her face, replaced by a wordless desolation and silence.
