Chapter 32 Big Trouble

Liu Wei looked at Wu Chang in confusion and asked, "Have you seen me, Master Wu?"

Wu Chang smiled and said, "I haven't met you before. I just saw you for the first time yesterday and I felt that you looked kind, but I couldn't remember who you were. Only when I heard you talking just now did I remember which old friend of mine you looked like."

Liu Wei muttered that all the capable guys were abnormal, and then he suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

In order to prevent Liu Wei from continuing to pester him, Wu Chang asked first:

"I heard from the village chief that you all came here to discuss the matter of holding the New Year's Eve Festival in advance?"

Liu Wei nodded and said, "That's right, Uncle Shan said that Master Wu also agrees to bring forward the New Year's Eve celebration."

"At the moment, the seal of the evil spirit is still there. If we delay for another month, the evil spirit will completely escape, and it will be difficult to subdue it again." Wu Chang said.

"Hero Wu has extraordinary knowledge, and is worthy of being a young hero." Liu Wei said with a bow.

"Thank you very much." Wu Chang responded with a smile.

Liu Wei changed the subject and said very naturally: "I have something else to trouble you with, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Forehead……"

The corners of Wu Chang's fake smile twitched slightly, and he knew that Liu Wei was up to no good.

"But it doesn't matter."

Liu Wei and Liu Shan exchanged glances, and after confirming each other's intentions, Liu Wei said:
"Uncle Shan should have told you that a scholar passed by a year ago and improved the New Year's Eve ceremony."

"Indeed."

"When the scholar left, he left behind a palace lantern. The palace lantern is the core of the improved New Year's Eve Festival. Without the palace lantern, the festival cannot begin."

Wu Chang understood what Liu Wei meant, "Isn't that palace lantern in the village?"

Liu Wei's face showed worry, and he said:
"We lent it to the neighboring Chenjia Village. According to the agreement, the people of Chenjia Village should have returned the palace lantern the day before yesterday, but there is no news until now."

"We would like to ask Mr. Wu to go to Chenjia Village to see if they are in danger. If everything is normal, please bring the palace lantern back."

Wu Chang asked: "Is it possible that the people of Chenjia Village escaped with the palace lanterns?"

"That's impossible." Liu Wei denied.

"The four-sided palace lanterns are integrated with the village's Chusui formation. The Chusui formation can replenish the lamp oil for the palace lanterns. Without the formation, the palace lanterns will become ineffective after half a month."

If it was Liu Shan who requested it, he might not have thought too much about it, but since it was Liu Wei who issued the task to him, he had to ask clearly, lest Liu Wei had any bad intentions and wanted to take action against him in advance.

"Since they don't have a New Year's Elimination Formation, why do they need to borrow the lamp?"

"The square lantern can control fire and drive away monsters. Chenjia Village uses it to escort women and children in the village to a safe place for refuge. Just like us, only the young and strong are left to guard the village."

Wu Chang was silent for a moment, thought it over for a while, and finally decided to agree to Liu Wei's request.

At this moment, he suddenly understood the protagonists in various RPG games.

In the past, when he played games, he could not understand why he, a great hero in the game, was driven around like a grandson by all kinds of NPCs, asking them to fetch water from the mountains, chop wood, and run errands for him.

He had wanted to ask before, don’t those NPCs have hands?

Now he understood that when the protagonist had to rely on NPCs to achieve a certain goal, he would not dare to let these NPCs do the chores themselves, even if they wanted to do it themselves.

For example, right now, even if Liu Wei wanted to bring the young and strong people in the village with him, he was still worried that these ordinary people would attract monsters for him along the way.

In order to reduce variables when passing the level, the hero must do all the errands himself.

After asking Liu Wei for the map, Wu Chang said, "In that case, let's leave now without further delay."

Wu Chang had just come down the mountain after getting his horse back. Before he started on his journey, he heard a commotion coming from the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Following the sound, we found that it was a group of young men from Huaigu Village.

Most of the boys were 11 or 12 years old. They formed a circle and threw a rabbit back and forth.

The person surrounded in the circle was the young village guard I saw last night. The boy had a silly smile on his face and kept running in the circle as the rabbit was thrown.

Every time the village guard was about to grab the rabbit, the tallest and strongest boy would kick him back to the center of the circle and continue playing.

A huge gunshot exploded in the forest, and the cotton hat on the child king's head exploded on the spot. The bullet grazed the child king's scalp, leaving a charred bald mark on the top of his head.

"What game is so fun? Let me join in." Wu Chang took a step forward and caught the rabbit that the child king threw away after being frightened, and said with a smile.

"Oh no, it's the hero, run!"

Someone said something, and the boys in the village scattered instantly, leaving only the child leader with a middle-parted hairstyle and a kicking posture.

Wu Chang glanced at him and said, "Are you still not leaving? Are you planning to continue playing?"

The child king hurriedly shook his head and ran towards the village while crying, leaving a trail of yellow water stains on the road.

Wu Chang shook his head. Why learn bullying when there are other things to learn? He thought that the copy plane also had a law to protect minors, right?

The young village guard didn't realize he was being bullied at all. He even grinned and shouted at the leader of the kids, "Why don't you want to play anymore? Don't leave."

Wu Chang handed the rabbit in his hand to the village guard and said, "They have something urgent to do. Let's play with them another day."

"Oh." The village guard responded softly, stroking the rabbit in his arms.

While caressing the child, the boy whispered, "Don't be afraid, they are just playing with you."

The frightened rabbit curled up into a ball, but recovered quickly after being comforted by the village guard.

There was a flash of surprise in Wu Chang's eyes. This young man is a druid?

Looking at the young man who was wearing tattered clothes, had frostbite on his hands and feet, and could only rely on wrapping himself in straw to keep warm, Wu Chang untied the package on the horse's back and put the thick cotton coat that Liu Shan had prepared for him on the young man.

"It's not safe recently, find a place to hide."

The village guard stared at Wu Chang, "Can you play with me?"

"Not today. I have to go out for something." Wu Chang said perfunctorily.

The village guard pointed to the mountain at the edge of Huaigu Village and said, "I live there. You can come and visit me there."

"Definitely next time."

After a brief episode, Wu Chang left Huaigu Village and headed straight for Chenjia Village on the map.

Huaigu Village is twenty miles away from Chenjia Village, but these twenty miles are mountain roads with several dangerous mountainous areas in between, so you have to take a detour.

According to the normal walking speed of the villagers in Huaigu Village, it takes three days to reach Chenjia Village, which is nearly a week for the round trip.

The roads in Bailihuai Mountain are complicated, and it is easy for outsiders to get lost in the mountains. Without a detailed route map, it is easy to get lost in the mountains.

Once you get lost, you don’t know where you are going.

The resentment of the players, almost evenly scattered across various dangerous points in Baili Huaishan, shows the price of getting lost in Baili Huaishan.

However, it is precisely because of these resentments that no matter where Wu Chang goes, there are resentments leading him.

Through his resentment, he could see that his predecessors had obtained information through trial and error using their physical bodies. With this information, he could understand the monsters' activity patterns in advance and did not have to waste time avoiding dangerous areas.

After rushing all the way, he arrived at the area where Chenjia Village was located at 3 p.m., just as the sun was setting.

Chenjia Village is built on the mountain, near the intersection of two mountain roads.

Although it does not have a valley and large tracts of arable land like Huaigu Village, it is a trade hub of Baili Huaishan due to its convenient transportation, and the conditions in the village are no less than those of Huaigu Village.

The two villages have complementary geographical advantages and are of similar size, so they have always had a close relationship, so close that they can even lend each other ritual instruments and palace lanterns.

Despite their close relationship, Chenjia Village has been slow to return the palace lanterns, which makes everyone in Huaigu Village worry that something has happened to Chenjia Village.

Wu Chang stood on a high place, checking the route map Liu Wei gave him.

The area where Chenjia Village was supposed to be located was now shrouded in gray-white smoke, and even the outline of the village could not be seen clearly.

Liu Wei and others guessed correctly. Chenjia Village was indeed in trouble, big trouble.
