"Who are you? No outsiders are allowed to enter Huodong Village without permission," the bearded village chief was always very majestic in front of outsiders.
The black-faced man looked at the bearded village chief and sneered, "Get out of here, you old man! This is none of your business!"
This really pissed off the bearded village chief. Was he unsophisticated? He didn't think so at all.
Seeing the support coming, Chu Beichen walked out of the yard, but Black Panther was still guarding the yard with his pack of dogs. They were Chu Beichen's first line of reinforcement.
"Are you here for me?" Chu Beichen looked at the black-faced man, then looked at Xie Na who was standing beside him with a smug look on her face.
"Xena said that there is a golden ball in your house. We lost it. You must hand it over to us immediately," the black-faced man said in a condescending manner.
"The things in my house are naturally mine." The golden ball is the hope for Chu Beichen and Su Nian to return, and he will definitely not hand it over.
At this time, the bearded village chief waved his hand, and the villagers he brought with him surrounded the black-faced man from behind. "You fool, you ran to Huodong Village to threaten our guests, are you tired of living?"
Normally the bearded village chief is very kind, but he is not so good-tempered when dealing with outsiders.
The dark-faced man turned to look at the bearded village chief. "This man named Chu isn't one of your villagers, is he? What's the point of you going to so much trouble to protect him? If you just hand him over honestly, we won't have to resort to violence!"
The village chief scoffed at the black-faced man's statement. Chu Beichen's arrival completely changed Huodong Village. Now the village has graphite, oil presses, and sugar radishes. Su Nian is also a skilled doctor who has cured many people.
The couple has been of great help to Huodong Village, which has greatly improved the living standards of the villagers.
The bearded village chief knew very well that if he could not protect Chu Beichen today, the villagers under him would also rebel.
"I don't know where you're from, but I can tell you clearly that the woman next to you was driven out of Huodong Village. She's a liar, lazy, and has many other flaws. Think about whether her words are trustworthy."
The bearded village chief was no fool. In a short time, he shifted the focus of the conflict to Xie Na.
The black-faced man narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Na. It was obvious that he had never expected that Xie Na would hide so many things from him. How serious a crime must it be to be kicked out of Huodong Village?
Xie Na didn't expect the village chief to trick her like this. She quickly defended herself, saying, "I was kicked out of the village, not for lying!"
The villagers of Huodong Village all started to make noises from behind, "Xie Na, stop lying!"
"Haha, Xie Na has become accustomed to lying!"
Seeing everyone saying this, the dark-faced man's face became even darker. People in this era rarely lie. If everyone thinks that a person has a bad reputation, then this person probably really has a problem.
For the first time, the dark-faced man felt a little regretful. He felt that he was a little impulsive. He should at least verify the character of this woman before deciding whether to believe her words.
Seeing the hesitation on the dark-faced man's face, Chu Beichen smiled and asked, "Where are you from?"
As soon as this person asked for the golden ball, Chu Beichen became curious, because he didn't know much about the golden ball, and he thought the black-faced man might know more.
At this time, the black-faced man no longer had the aggressiveness he had at the beginning. The people around him had clearly pointed out to him that Xie Na was a liar. In this situation, it would be very unwise for him to rashly start a war just because of Xie Na's words.
"I'm from Gangwa River!" The black-faced man was a little depressed and spoke in a much lower voice.
The bearded village chief laughed and said, "Then you shouldn't bother Chu. He's also from the south bank of the Gangwa River. Maybe you're from the same place!"
Seeing that the bearded village chief was willing to testify for him, Chu Beichen smiled and nodded.
The dark-faced man suddenly understood, "So we are brothers. No wonder you have the golden ball. I almost fell for that evil woman's trick!"
As he said this, he swung the iron knife in his hand and slashed at Xie Na. Xie Na screamed and hurriedly stepped back, but it was too late. Her vest was cut open by the knife, and her torn clothes trembled in the cold wind. She looked very embarrassed.
Xie Na screamed and turned to run.
The bearded village chief's face darkened. "Catch this troublemaker and punish him, or he won't bring people here to cause trouble again!"
Xie Na was so scared that she peed her pants. She knew what punishment meant, which was to make her unable to speak again.
Immediately, a villager who was responsible for this task dragged Xie Na away.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen also saw this scene, but they did not sympathize with Xie Na. This woman's talkativeness had caused them trouble several times.
When the black-faced man saw that the instigator had been dragged away, he felt very embarrassed and immediately lowered his posture and apologized to the bearded village chief and Chu Beichen.
"We came out specifically to look for the golden orb, so we were so excited when we heard the news about it that we didn't have time to verify the truth. We're so sorry for causing you any trouble!"
The bearded village chief was quite tactful. Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, he signaled his men to lay down their weapons. "I've heard that search teams are sent out from the south bank of the Gangwa River in winter, but I didn't know what they were looking for. Now that you've explained it, it makes sense!"
The black-faced man smiled helplessly. "To be honest, we rarely come here. It's just that too many golden orbs have been leaking out in the past two years, and this thing is particularly important to us, so we only venture out in winter!"
The more Chu Beichen listened, the more excited he became. Seeing that this black-faced man was not shy about the existence of the golden sphere and had already treated him as one of his own, Chu Beichen felt that he could find out more about the secrets of the golden sphere from this black-faced man.
"So what are your plans next? The current weather is not optimistic. There will definitely be heavy snowstorms in the next two days." Chu Beichen looked at the gray sky with a serious expression. In fact, he didn't know whether the weather would change or not. This expression was just to scare the black-faced man.
"Really? What should we do then?" The dark-faced man was worried. They were still two or three days away from their temporary residence.
The bearded village chief was very kind. Seeing the dark-faced man's worried look, he immediately stood up and said, "Why don't you stay in our village for a few days? We have an old wooden house that can provide you with shelter, but you'll have to find food on your own!"
