It was already noon in Qingtan Village.
The winter sun shines down on this land.
In the distance, the water in the pool, shimmering in the sunlight, was a beautiful light blue-green.
Ah Chen and Ah Mo did not come from the front village, but came directly from the back village through the narrow and steep mountain path.
Houzhai is a Miao village. As the future Miao king, Achen and the current holy maiden, Amo, could easily enter.
The poisonous creatures on the mountain road were unstoppable, and the young woman responsible for guarding this area was too busy to even greet them respectfully, let alone obstruct them.
now--
Achen and Amo, who were already on the steep slope of the side of Zhongzhai, were followed by Ayong, Azhen, and Ashi's personal guards, as well as two guards of Amei.
From this vantage point, one can not only see the Miao people in the rear village on the right, but also clearly observe the densely packed scene in the front village.
The scene of hundreds of Gelao people resisting Shi Xiang and Yun Kai in Qianzhai was somewhat unexpected.
Gunshots rang out every now and then, and there were even sounds of detonators exploding.
However, Shi Xiang and Yun Kai did not resort to the most forceful methods to suppress the situation, as that would harm innocent people.
“Ah Chen, Shi Xiang and Yun Kai could have won this operation with minimal cost, but they still gave up the credit that was within their grasp.”
“That’s right, Amo, look at their current movement. It’s obvious that they are taking care of the safety of the women among the Gelao people who are resisting.”
Ah Chen pointed out the location and said to Ah Mo beside him, "Look, just now, Shi Xiang and Yun Kai could have easily shot and killed the two women on the side with one shot, and then taken the opportunity to attack. As long as they controlled those with torches, they could have basically controlled that row of detonators and explosives."
"Yes! You always argue with these two the moment you open your mouth. Try to be less confrontational in the future. After all, they care about the people in their community, and for that reason alone, they deserve respect."
"I know."
Ah Chen didn't mean any disrespect, but he got angry whenever he saw Shi Xiang and Yun Kai. He just couldn't stand being nice to anyone without having to argue with them.
Today, having witnessed Shi Xiang and Yun Kai's character firsthand, Achen has his own judgment.
"Ah Chen, look over there."
Suddenly, Ah Yong walked over from the side and pointed to the mountains to the left of Qingtanhu, saying to Ah Chen.
"A dark mass of people. Judging from this, it must be the people from the largest Gelao village."
On the way here, Siwei Amei, who has been secretly investigating here these past few days, has already told Achen and Amo about the situation.
Over there lies the largest village of the Gelao ethnic group, and also the site of a thousand-acre orchard invested in by the "Chasing the Wind" company.
Now, a large number of Gelao people are coming this way; they probably aren't here for leisure.
"Ah Zhen."
Achen turned around and ordered, "Immediately send someone down to inform the Miao people in the back village not to act rashly, and even less to interfere in the affairs of the Gelao people."
"In addition, tell the people in Houzhai to keep an eye on the safety of Yun Kai and Shi Xiang, so they don't get ambushed by the Gelao people."
Yes. I'll arrange it right away!
Ah Zhen turned around and ordered the strong Miao people behind him to hurry up and do it.
Ah Chen looked around at the scenery once more.
This Qingtan Village is truly an isolated island hidden in the mountains!
From this vantage point, the three villages on the island—front, middle, and rear—are interconnected by stone alleys, linked walls, and linked by ancient paths, forming an organic whole.
"Ah Chen, stop looking!"
Amo told Achen that the old woman from the Gelao clan didn't have much time left, and if Achen wanted to get to the bottom of things, he had to hurry.
Because this Gelao woman practiced a very diverse array of secret techniques, which seemed to go against the grain of traditional Gelao folk arts, therefore--
Amo never expected that her small action would destroy the vital energy that the old woman was using to raise insects.
Those are life-saving insects.
Insects destroy, people die!
Ah Chen didn't understand the secret technique Ah Mo mentioned. He hadn't seen Ah Mo make a move, so how did she manage to make this old woman so arrogant?
"By the way! According to Siwei Amei's investigation, this old woman is the husband of the youngest member of the Mu family, who disappeared without a trace decades ago."
ah--
Mu Laoyao's wife?
Achen was taken aback, and his gaze naturally shifted to the dying old woman from a dozen meters away.
So, this old woman is the youngest wife of the Mu family!
At this moment, the old woman was so weak from the destruction of her life-giving insect that she seemed on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
She leaned against the stone wall, her gray hair disheveled, and her sunken eyes were almost closed.
Ah Chen glanced at it, his expression somewhat somber, and it was unclear what he was thinking. After a few seconds, he asked Ah Mo, "How many children does this old woman and that old man have?"
"According to our investigation, there are none!"
"How is that possible? That old bastard has been here for decades, how could he not have a single descendant?"
"There must be something else going on here. If we want to know, we'll have to go up and ask."
ask?
Ah Chen really didn't want to get involved in this mess!
Although they are blood relatives, this kind of kinship is very weak to Mu Achen!
It was so bland that I couldn't taste it at all.
But there are some things that you'll regret if you don't ask about them.
Because that old monster from the Mu family is a wicked son who murdered his father and mother.
so--
Mu Achen immediately had the old woman from the Gelao tribe brought up, and then pulled Amo along as they continued upwards.
On this side of the steep mountainside, there is a flat area of about ten square meters.
There was a dilapidated wooden table on the flat ground, and a small vegetable garden.
There is a cave entrance near the cliff.
At that moment, there was a clanging sound coming from inside the cave, as if something was being struck.
