Chapter 98
As soon as you enter the village, you can detect several unfriendly looks.
Lan Yi certainly couldn't hide the fact that he went down the mountain from the villagers, so it was expected that he brought people back.
Then some people came and some left.
Needless to say, those who left must have gone to inform the village chief.
"Village Chief! Village Chief!"
"What are you rushing for?!"
The village chief and several elders were eating and drinking. The big problem of clan inheritance had been solved, and it was during the Spring Festival, so it was naturally worth celebrating.
"Lan Yi is back, and he brought other people back with him!"
Their clan has always lived on the Jinye Mountain, with no access to information and not knowing many things about the outside world.
If it wasn't for the purpose of investigating what Lan Yi had done outside and what his identity was now, the village chief Lan Shahai would not have sent anyone out.
Lan Yi is studying at some secret school of supernatural powers. I heard from the people who reported back that it is the best school of supernatural powers in the country. It seems that he also received some kind of year-end bonus?
But other than that there's nothing special.
"You brought someone back? What kind of person?"
"Two boys, about his age."
The village chief chuckled. Aren't they exactly the same as he guessed? But they are all children.
If Lan Yi had brought back his teacher, the village chief might have been a little wary.
The expressions of several elders also relaxed, which coincided with the village chief's idea.
They are just children, easy to deal with, anyway.
Besides, Lan Yi originally came from their village and was a member of their tribe. The blood relationship was not so easy to sever.
Isn't it natural to help your family?
"Let the villagers entertain you well. After a while, Lan Yi will figure it out himself."
Lan Shahai was still thinking about "taking the long-term view" and did not take the people brought by Lan Yi seriously.
The person who came to report the news saw it and knew that the village chief had an idea, so he was no longer panicked.
"Okay, Village Chief, I'll go right away!"
After the people left, the village chief and several elders started toasting each other, making the place very lively.
Without the order from the village chief, the villagers did not dare to get close to Lan Yi and the other two. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when Lan San, who had gone to report the news, came back and told them the village chief's decision.
They have also seen Lan Yi's ability. How can someone who can inherit the legacy be easy to bully? The village chief dares to be tough, but they don't dare.
But since the village chief said to treat them well first, there is no need to worry.
Lan slid out in three steps.
"Ayi, you're back! You..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw three pairs of eyes looking at him.
There is hostility, coming from Lan Yi.
There is disgust, which comes from Li Ke.
What made him feel most uneasy and scrutinizing came from Xi Siling.
Lan Yi tried his best to be patient and not take action, but his voice was still unusually cold.
"Who allowed you to call me Ayi, Lan San? Don't try to get close to me."
Everyone in the village knew what he did at the New Year's Eve dinner, so trying to get close to him now was just to show off to outsiders.
Kind of funny.
Lan San is of the same generation as him and sat at the same table with Lan Yi on New Year's Eve.
Lan Yi overturned the table. If he hadn't dodged in time, the soup would have spilled on him.
They are also people from the village. There is no etiquette or etiquette for them. There are only a few dozen people walking around all day long.
This seems clumsy.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault." Lan San quickly lowered his head and apologized. "It's just that I saw that you brought guests with you, and it's not good to let you wait outside all the time. You should go inside first."
Lan Yi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and turned to look at Xi Siling and Li Ke.
Seeing that the two had no objections, he nodded.
"I'll go find them myself, don't follow me."
Lan San complained in his heart that he didn't want to follow, and then slipped away.
After all, Lan Yi didn't dare to take action because of his sister. So what if he brought helpers?
It was no longer possible for him to take the Lanling Bird away.
Thinking of this, Lan San felt even more refreshed.
So what if he got the inheritance by luck? He asked for it, he deserved it!
Without caring what the person behind him was going to do, Lan San ran away briskly.
“Come on, I’ll take you to where I live now. My sister lived there with me the day she first arrived.”
The road halfway up the mountain is not easy to walk on. There are not many flat lands as they are all used to build houses. The inferior lands are used for farming. The rest are all small paths that are not easy for even a person to walk on.
The place they were heading to was almost at the edge of the entire village.
The people in this village wanted to curry favor with Lan Yi and were eyeing his inheritance, but they couldn't even save their appearance.
“This is also where my parents lived a long time ago, they have moved away now.”
The door was not locked. Lan Yi put all his things in the space ring he brought out from the secret forbidden area, not giving the villagers any chance to inquire about him.
Who could have thought that they would actually take my sister away.
He didn't believe a word of what his sister said was her will.
The house is very simple. It can be seen at first glance that it was built many years ago using suitable wood found nearby. Spider webs can be seen in the corners of the house.
Liu Huaqi was not around, and they did not start discussing anything right away. If the villagers heard it, no matter what it was, it couldn't be a good thing.
"Wait a minute."
Wait for Liu Huaqi and Lin Zhipei to contact them and see if they have any discoveries before making a decision.
From small tasks entrusted to people with special abilities to large-scale wars between countries, information is the most important thing.
Doing things in the dark and unclearly is the most deadly.
They both gave him an OK sign.
——
On the other side, Liuhuaci and Linzhipei were walking very fast in the mountains. In less than half an hour, they almost finished walking the entire mountainside.
Because it is winter and the altitude here is about 3,000 meters, only cold-resistant plants grow here.
Lin Zhipei was able to use his special abilities to provide nutrients for the plants, promoting their growth, and building a wooden path for him and Liu Huaqi to walk on.
Liuhuaci opened the range of [Fog] to the maximum, including the wind blowing in from outside to bring him effective information, but the area of Jinye Mountain is very large, and no useful discoveries were made for the time being.
So the two of them stopped and let Lin Zhipei talk to the plants to see if they could get some clues.
"Tell me, please."
"Name? I know. Your name is Winter Wife Sasa. I have called out your name. Can you tell me now~"
"Yes! Yes! Thank you! I wish you and your tribe good growth~"
Whether in the past life or this life, Liuhuaqi was impressed by Lin Zhipei's ability to talk to plants like a Disney princess...
Hard to say.
It was fine when they were alone, and Liu Huaqi didn't mind, but Lin Chipei wouldn't mind talking to plants in any occasion.
According to Lin Zhipei, these plants also have their own tempers. If you pretend not to see them, it will be difficult to gain their trust again.
Although the power brought by Ju Mang's engraved heart could allow Lin Zhipei to force these plants to work for him, the young man did not want to do so.
In his previous life, he had always been under the control of Hua Hegu, and doing this would only remind him of his own experiences.
And Lin Zhipei never told him these things...
Liuhuacui waited patiently without showing any impatience on his face.
After Lin Zhipei finished talking to the plants, she quietly glanced at Liuhuaqi.
He actually knew that this behavior was embarrassing, but he still insisted on doing it to show respect to these plants that were the only ones who could communicate with him.
Fortunately, Liuhuacui didn't seem to be bored.
"Did you find out anything?"
"Yes, the Winter Wife Sasa grass is a very common kind of grass on this Jinye Mountain."
In order to control plants, one must know the characteristics of each plant. Hua Hegu's requirements for Lin Zhipei are also reflected in this, so he knows the names of these plants.
——Only plants that have been discovered and named by humans have "spirituality" and can communicate with Linzhipei, so there is no need to worry about the naming issue.
So the full version of that sentence is: Winter Wife Sassafras is a very common weed on Jinye Mountain. It has extremely strong vitality and reproduces very quickly. It can be seen everywhere except where the top is completely covered with ice and snow.
At the same time, the relationship between the winter wives and the Sasas is also very good. Like humans, they particularly like excitement and gossip.
"Anyway, they told me that Sister Spirit Bird was taken to the mountains by the villagers, at least to a place where their winter wife Sasa grass couldn't grow."
Liuhuaqi frowned slightly. Why go to such a remote place?
There is no doubt that Brother Lan's clansmen must have bad intentions, and they must be targeting Lan Yi.
Lin Zhipei was also a little undecided.
"Should we go to the top of the mountain first, or go back to find Brother Siling and the others?"
If it was before, or if Liuhuaqi was alone, he would definitely choose to go to the top of the mountain, but Lin Zhipei still followed...
"Let's go back and find Si Ling first."
If he said that he wanted to act alone, Pepe would definitely not agree, let alone keep it a secret for him. Although Si Ling would not be disappointed, she would worry about his safety, and might even blame herself for bringing him here.
Liu Huaqi didn't want to leave any impression in the minds of his seniors, that he needed special care and would get into trouble if he was not careful.
Lin Zhipei noticed Liu Huaqi's weird thoughts and felt that he actually thought the exact opposite, but there was no need to say it out loud at this time.
After all, 77 didn’t say it out loud either!
The two men followed their previous plan and did not alarm anyone in the village.
Just let the villagers mistakenly think that there are only three of them.
Liu Huaqi and Lin Cipei carefully walked around and then entered the room where Xi Siling and the other two were staying.
The three of them were not scared. After all, Liuhuaqi had already informed them through a fallen leaf that had been blown in earlier.
With 77 by my side, I don’t have to worry about people overhearing what I say.
"What did you find?"
Xi Siling and Li Ke pulled out the wooden stools next to the table for the two of them, along with the hot tea that Lan Yi had already prepared.
Lan Yi was not interested in drinking tea, all his attention was focused on the two of them.
Although he had prepared himself for not getting any information, he still hoped for some clues.
Even if it's just a vague possibility.
Fortunately, what they brought back was good news.
"The top of the mountain?! There's only snow up there."
In addition to the snow, there are also glaciers that never melt all year round. Even for people with special abilities, it would be difficult to live on them.
No wonder, no wonder I couldn’t find my sister’s whereabouts.
Lan Yi gradually clenched his fists.
"I'm going to find my sister."
"Let's go, then."
Xi Siling did not stop him, even though he knew it was getting dark.
