"Ah Chen, I heard about it three days ago, and I only verified the matter last night."
A-Kang observed Mu A-Chen's expression and, seeing that it hadn't changed much, said, "Someone is calling out to you, challenging you to a duel to the end to seize the Holy Maiden's Flower Ribbon."
Who is it?
"Yang Ze, the son of the chief of Balong Ancient Village!"
"Balong Ancient Village? From the Qingmiao branch?"
Although Mu Chen didn't know anything about Yang Ze, he had heard his grandfather mention the ancient village of Balong in his previous life.
The Miao people in southeastern Guizhou have twelve branches!
Mu Achen and his group belong to the Black Miao branch, while Balong Ancient Village belongs to the Green Miao branch.
Balong Ancient Village is located on the other side of Tianfeng County, about 50 to 60 kilometers away from Heiwu Village. Its scale is no less than that of Quedong Village, and may even be larger.
Balong Ancient Village was the last sought-after tribe of the Great Xia Dynasty, and almost every man in the village carried a musket.
If Mu Achen remembers correctly, the top leadership in Yanjing will officially grant special approval for the legal possession of firearms in Balong Ancient Village next year, which is 1996.
Just like the Miao men of their branch, they legally possess Miao knives, but they are not allowed to take them out of the designated area of use.
Even so, the fighting strength of Balong Ancient Village is in no way inferior to that of Heiwu Village.
Moreover, in the eyes of their Balong Ancient Village, Heiwu Village, though still the strongest opponent, has become a toothless tiger.
According to the genealogy, the previous holy maiden appeared hundreds of years ago, but she was a girl from their Balong Ancient Village.
Mu Achen was not afraid of Yang Aze from Balong Ancient Village, but Akang's expression made him somewhat uneasy.
Just then, Uncle Rong drove over. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the Land Rover SUV that had been missing for more than 20 days. He immediately went to look for it with Uncle Dong and Uncle Zhuang.
"Ah Chen, you little rascal, you're finally back."
Uncle Dong was incredibly excited, and A Zhuang hugged Mu Chen tightly.
Mu Achen grinned and said, "Relax, relax, my back isn't fully healed yet!"
"Is it still not fully healed?" Uncle Arong strode forward, his face full of worry.
"Ah Chen, things have been going well in the village lately..."
Mu Achen waved his hand, looking somewhat dejected: "We'll talk about the orchard when we get back to the village. I'm not in the mood to hear about this right now."
"What's wrong?"
Ah Rong and Uncle Ah Dong looked at each other, and Ah Kang said, "Please sit down, both of you uncles."
"Kang, what's wrong with Chen?"
A-Kang glanced at Uncle A-Rong, hesitated, but finally said, "I just told A-Chen about Yang A-Ze from Balong Ancient Village."
Upon hearing this, A-Dong and A-Zhuang's expressions turned somewhat serious.
Uncle Arong served himself rice and buried his head in his food, acting as if he didn't hear a word I said.
"Ah Chen, this matter is indeed difficult to handle." Uncle A Dong said helplessly.
A-Zhuang said, "We in Heiwu Village have been discussing this matter these past few days. A-Chen, we are the strongest Black Miao branch in terms of combat power!"
"Because of what happened a hundred years ago, our Black Crow Village has declined!"
“But now we have money, and my grandfather said that the entire Black Miao branch supports you. So we all unanimously decided to take out all the money we earned this year and give it a good thrashing to the Green Miao’s Balong Ancient Village.”
Ah Zhuang started speaking rapidly.
Uncle Dong really wanted to kick A Zhuang aside. "A Zhuang, shut up. This isn't about money."
Akang also said, "Because the previous Holy Maiden came from Balong Ancient Village, their branch of Miao people has been stronger than our branch in terms of overall strength over the past few hundred years!"
"besides..."
A-Kang hesitated for a moment and said, "Leaving aside the past, just talking about our generation, the Qingmiao branch in Balong has at least a hundred college students, but what about our side!"
"At most, there are only twenty or thirty branches combined."
"Although their strongest student, Yang Aze, is not as good as the Holy Maiden, he is still a top student at South China University of Technology and is a senior this year."
"Ah Chen, I'm not saying this to target you, I'm just a little worried."
After Ah Kang finished speaking, he comforted Mu Chen, because he was afraid of upsetting the little brother next to him.
But Mu Chen said, "If I were in a family like Yang Aze's, where you can have anything you want, I would be even better than him!"
"Besides, although South China University of Technology is strong, what use is it to me? I still prefer what Brother Zhuang just said: use money to buy it."
cough cough...
Uncle Arong was taken aback by Mu Achen's words.
Uncle Dong was also stunned.
Ah Zhuang slapped his thigh and said, "Look, even Ah Chen said so, so my words can still be taken into consideration."
"Vulgar, get out of here."
Uncle Dong kicked A Zhuang and said to Mu Chen, "A Chen, this really isn't about money. Yang Aze and his gang will definitely show up at the Drum Festival. You'll be under a lot of pressure then. You need to come up with a safe way."
"A solution? Do you expect me to defy custom and force myself on the Holy Maiden, thus completely cutting off Balongyang Aze's path forward?"
"Ah Chen, you... watch your mouth." Uncle Ah Rong couldn't take it anymore.
Mu Achen shrugged and looked at Uncle Arong, saying, "Because my old injury hasn't fully healed, I have no confidence in beating Yang Aze in the drum dance."
"Besides, everyone cares about education level. How can I, a junior high school graduate, be compared to a college student?"
"If we're talking about age, I'm actually holding a gold brick."
"As for the money, when I ever don't want to live anymore, I'll donate half to Da Xia and use the other half to kill Qingmiao Yang Aze."
Although A-Kang and A-Zhuang saw Mu Chen smile, why did that smile make them feel a little sad?
Uncle Dong asked, "So you want to give up?"
