The mountain road was winding, and several off-road vehicles drove on it for about ten to twenty minutes before arriving at a small farmhouse.
"Is anyone there?"
Wuxie and Jie Yuchen walked up to the door and knocked on the door frame and asked. After knocking for a long time, no one answered, so they had to go into the house to take a look.
The room was decorated in a simple style. There was a stove in the hall, and the fire was burning brightly. Wu Xie slowly approached the fire, but was pulled back by Jie Yuchen, who said, "Stay away from the fire."
Wu Xie nodded, responded softly, straightened up and said, "You are too cautious. The people arranged by Mrs. Huo can set up a trap here."
"This is not an ordinary bonfire. The people here call it Ximi. Legend has it that it was left to them by the God of Fire tens of thousands of years ago. It has been burning for generations. If you are so close to it and do something disrespectful, it will be very tragic." Xie Yuchen explained.
Wu Xie was a little skeptical and asked, "Is it really that weird? This ten-thousand-year-old fire is indeed quite sacred. If someone accidentally touches it, they will be roasted on the fire."
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard a noise outside the door.
"Roast him! Roast him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
"No, no, I didn't want to run away..."
"If you don't want to run away, where do you want to go?"
"I'm just going to the bathroom."
Through the window, Xie Yuchen and Wuxie saw Hei Xia Zi being pushed by the villagers, and they went out one after another to check.
In the yard, Hei Xia Zi was still quibbling, "I'm such a kind person, how could I just run away like this, right?"
He spoke so sincerely that he even pulled a villager over and invited him to give him a massage.
"I have to show you my skills!" Hei Xia Zi stretched his arms and put his hands on the villagers' shoulders.
"This point is called Tianzong Point. People like you who work hard all year round are particularly prone to back damage. Pressing it will definitely give you an extremely sore feeling."
As he spoke, Hei Xia Zi exerted force on his fingers, which began to tremble. Then he heard the villager say, "Use a little more force."
Hei Xiazi looked at the big brother in disbelief. This is not right! Thinking of this, Hei Xiazi increased the strength of his hands and bared his teeth. "Big... Big brother, you are in good health. No need to press. Come on, let's change people!"
As he spoke, Hei Xia Zi called the next person over, but there was still no response. Just as he was worrying about how to deal with these people, he looked up and saw Xie Yuchen and the others who had just entered the room. He was so excited that he seemed to have seen a savior. He quickly pointed and said, "Hey, hey, hey, they have money!"
Wuxie and Jie Yuchen were still confused and had no idea what was going on. After getting a general idea, Jie Yuchen reluctantly helped Hei Xia Zi pay off his debt.
"I've turned it around for you." Xie Yuchen said expressionlessly. He really didn't expect that Hei Xia Zi could cause so much trouble.
Hei Xiazi smiled and put his arm around Li Yuchen's shoulder, saying flatteringly, "I knew that this mere thousand sheep wouldn't be enough to frustrate our kind-hearted Hua'er Ye."
Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes and ignored him. Hei Xia Zi took his backpack back from the villagers. He said thank you but his actions didn't show any expression. After dealing with these things, the three of them left the yard together.
