Chapter 18 Mr. Chen

A few days ago, Huyuan Sun and a idler from the village died at the entrance of a mountain road.

Suspected of being killed in a collision.

Although the Chen family is a gentry family, they are only a branch of the Chen family in Linhe. The cost of losing a warrior is not low.

In order to fill the gap in military force, the Chen family hired Gao Liehu as an instructor.

No one expected that in just two days, Gao Liehu's house was burned to ruins, and no one was found alive or dead.

Their initial investment was wasted again!

Moreover, the Chen family had been in trouble one after another, which dealt a heavy blow to their authority in the village.

"How is this going?"

A 14 or 15-year-old boy in a tight-fitting shirt growled, "Another ghost?"

The cunning lawyer next to him shrank his head and dared not speak.

Because this young man is Chen Mingjie, the eldest son of the Chen family and the future head of the family.

Since Mr. Chen is not in the village, he is the head of the family.

"Why don't you speak?"

Chen Mingjie's saliva sprayed all over the face of Master Zhangtou.

This young master had a very bad temper, and at the same time he was venting his inner fear.

He had been living in the county town, leading a life of luxury.

Suddenly, the whole family moved to this remote mountain village, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and I had been feeling very depressed.

I didn't expect that such a place would have so many unexpected things happening. Several people died in just a few days.

Including two warriors.

You can imagine how much pressure Chen Mingjie is under!

The head of the deer replied with a bitter face: "Master, I have sent someone to the county to report to you. Please go back to the ancestral home to rest first, and leave the matters here to me."

"never mind."

Chen Mingjie waved his hands irritably.

He actually didn't care much about Gao Liehu's life or death, he just felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people.

The eldest son of the Chen family left angrily with his two younger brothers.

"Let's go, let's go!"

As soon as the three young masters left, Master Zhang asked his servants to disperse the crowd: "There's nothing to see!"

The villagers immediately dispersed.

Wang Wang!

At this moment, a big yellow dog suddenly jumped out from the nearby bushes and barked loudly at the monk.

The deer-headed master was immediately startled: "Where did this beast come from?"

A villager recognized the dog and said, "This is the dog raised by Hunter Gao!"

"Big Tiger!"

Zhang Yuan, who had been in the crowd watching the excitement, called out in time: "Come over here!"

He was worried that if he didn't speak up, Da Hu would be beaten to death by the Chen family's servants.

That would be a shame.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's call, Dahu immediately ran towards him and wagged his tail affectionately.

The surrounding villagers witnessed this scene, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Everyone knows that Zhang Yuan has been working for Gao the Hunter in the past few years, so he is naturally very familiar with this guard dog.

Now Gao the Hunter’s home is destroyed, and most likely his people are also gone.

If Da Hu doesn't follow Zhang Yuan, he will have no way to survive.

Master Zhangtou came back to his senses and gave Zhang Yuan a sinister look.

He snorted coldly.

He really didn't have the heart to cause trouble for Zhang Yuan right now. Anyway, when Mr. Chen came back to take charge of the situation, he would have plenty of time and opportunity to deal with another little peasant.

Zhang Yuan was able to successfully bring Dahu back to his home. When Zhang Yuan came back with the big yellow dog, his mother was very surprised: "Yuan, what happened?"

"Master Gao is in trouble."

Zhang Yuan had to explain, and then said: "I raised Dahu, and now he has no home, so I brought him back to raise him myself. He is good at guarding the house."

Mother Zhang sighed, "I didn't expect that Master Gao would get into trouble. He was a very good person."

Zhang Yuan always reported good news to his mother but not bad news. In the past, when he was wronged by Hunter Gao, he never told his family about it even when he returned home.

And Hunter Gao did teach him a lot of hunting skills.

So in Zhang's mother's heart, she was very grateful to Gao the Hunter: "Then let's keep the dog."

"Ah."

Zhang Yuan took a piece of smoked meat hanging under the eaves, cut half of it and threw it to Dahu to eat.

Da Hu was shaking his head and was very happy.

Zhang Yuan stroked its furry head and said, "Mom, I plan to buy a house in the county town. Let's leave the village and live in the city."

Zhang's mother was shocked: "Moving to the city?"

She was not an ignorant and dull village woman. She knew very well how difficult it was to buy a house and settle down in the county town, so she asked in disbelief, "Yuanwaer, how much silver will it cost?"

"I can earn money."

Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Mom, Mr. Chen's family just moved here, and our village has been in trouble one after another. Besides, the Chen family is not a good family. If we continue to live here, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid he didn't say anything, but these words easily aroused the fear in Zhang's mother's heart.

Zhang's mother doesn't care much about her own safety, but when it comes to Zhang Yuan, it's completely different.

"Since you have made your decision, I support you."

She said resolutely: "But you must pay attention to safety and never take risks."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

He stroked the big yellow dog that was feasting and said, "I won't go deep into the mountains. Da Hu can help me hunt. As long as we spend more time, we will definitely be able to save enough money to buy a house."

In fact, it was impossible, but Zhang's mother didn't understand: "That's good!"

Da Hu woofed.

Zhang Yuan patted its head, but his mind flew to Qianfeng Mountain.

The amount of money he has saved now is still far from enough to settle down in the county.

If you want to make more money, besides the bloody windfall, you can only take it from the mountains.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan had already found a way out.

What he didn't expect was.

At noon that day, Mr. Chen Deping returned to the village and gathered villagers from each household in the ancestral hall!

After receiving the notice from the village chief, Zhang Yuan rushed over as the representative of the Zhang family.

The ancestral hall of Chenjia Village is located in the center of the village and was expanded on the basis of the ancestral hall of the Linhe Chen family.

The two are inseparable.

The ancestral hall is undoubtedly an indispensable existence for the hundreds of households in Chenjia Village.

The villagers worship their ancestors and burn incense in order to seek the blessing of the ancestral hall and protect everyone from strange attacks.

Here, Zhang Yuan met Chen Deping for the first time.

This gentleman seemed to be in his thirties or forties, well-dressed and with a sinister look, his eyes narrowed from time to time.

It gives people a feeling of being unpredictable.

Next to Mr. Chen, there stood a man in tight clothes with a strong build and a tough temperament.

Zhang Yuan's heart trembled.

He could tell at a glance that the other party was a high-level warrior who was not easy to deal with, and the aura he displayed was stronger than that of Guardian Sun!

There is no doubt that these were the helpers that Mr. Chen brought from the county town after receiving the news.

This also shows his determination to take control of Chenjia Village.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan really couldn't understand why this gentleman had to settle down in Chenjia Village.

Even if it costs a high price, I will not waver!
