Tong Leren looked at Tan Manxing who ordered him to leave, and left after saying what was appropriate.
Soon the hour of You arrived.
After confirming some things, Tan Manxing jumped off the eaves of a house in a side alley and walked back to the inn.
A carriage was parked in front of the inn, and the old village chief was standing next to it.
Obviously, this ordinary ox cart was the best he could prepare.
"Miss Tan, now that you're here, do you need to go back to your room to rest for a while or leave right away?"
"Our village is poor, and these things have happened recently. I hope Miss Tan doesn't mind. The small fish inside have been cleaned up very well."
Tan Manxing looked at the village chief and Xiaoyu, who had big eyes but a thin body and skinny cheeks, and did not refuse. He directly lifted the curtain and jumped onto the ox cart.
"Let's go now. We have to go in before dark."
"Okay Miss Tan, I understand."
The village chief had wanted to leave for a long time, so he didn't waste any time and asked Xiaoyu to sit down and started driving the ox cart away.
She looked at Tong Le Ren who was already sitting on the ox cart and knew what he should be introducing, so she simply clasped her fists and leaned against the wall to rest.
After almost two hours, the ox cart slowly stopped.
"Miss Tan and Brother Tong are here."
The village chief waited for the two to come down and whispered again.
"Because some villagers are quite radical, we have no choice but to ask you two to go inside first."
"No problem."
Tan Manxing didn't mind and quickly followed him into the house.
"Village chief, can you tell us how you send off the mountain god?"
After entering the room, Tong Leren looked around and saw that there was no danger, so he sat on a chair and asked.
"Brother Tong, I was just about to say that..."
The old village chief saw that the two of them went straight to the point and couldn't help but blurt out what he was feeling.
Suddenly remembering that Xiaoyu was still beside him, he stopped talking in time.
----------------
"Xiaoyu, you two young heroes have been exhausted from the journey. Go and cook."
"I understand, Dad."
Xiaoyu knew that her father didn't want him to hear it, so she lowered her head obediently and left quickly.
Tan Manxing frowned slightly as he looked at her thin figure.
After sending the man away, the village chief began to tell the story with a bitter face.
"Only some uncles in the village know about this matter."
"Although he sent the girl up there to protect the villagers, I prefer to call him 'Marrying the Mountain God.'"
"We don't tie the girl up and send her directly to the mountain. Instead, at the time agreed by the mountain god, we need to use a sedan chair and let the girl sit in her wedding dress. When the sun rises, both the girl and the sedan chair disappear."
"The next day, the sedan returned intact, but the girl inside was gone."
The village chief seemed a little scared and kept speaking in a low voice.
It was the middle of the night and it was pitch black outside, which was quite scary when coupled with his old voice.
Fortunately, both Tan Manxing and others had experienced more terrifying things, so they did not panic.
Tong Leren was even curious and asked directly.
"Then you didn't try to track?"
"Yes! Of course not."
The village chief shouted angrily, then quickly lowered his voice when he came to his senses.
"I once took a few strong men and squatted in a house on the mountain. We had clearly gone to bed early in the day, but when the time came, we fell asleep in a daze and woke up at dawn."
He said this while swallowing in fear.
"After that, I didn't give up and continued squatting outside the yard. This time, I was alone, but I still fell asleep without any warning. Fortunately, I found myself asleep this time because of the sudden white fog that appeared around me."
"But even if I discovered this, there's no way to stop the villagers from sending the girl up the mountain. This white mist is colorless and odorless. I have no way to deconstruct it."
"Have you ever been up the mountain?"
Tan Manxing was analyzing the village chief's words while tapping his fingers.
Seeing that the question had hit the point again, the village chief hurriedly continued.
"We secretly went up from other paths during the day, but unfortunately we didn't find anything. At night, many people were afraid to go up. Finally, an old man whose daughter was sent away followed me up, but we lost consciousness before we got far. The next day, the old man and I slept in front of the mountain road."
"After this incident, the villagers were afraid that I would anger the mountain god, so they kept sending people to watch me. I had no choice but to calm down and plan to seek help from outside the village."
The village chief behind him didn't say anything else, but Tan Manxing and the others understood.
"Village Chief, please go out for a moment. I will discuss the next plan with Miss Tan."
Tong Le Ren had just sent the village chief away and spoke before asking Tan Manxing.
"Three days later I will go up the mountain disguised as a bride."
"!!!Isn't this too dangerous?"
Tong Leren didn't expect that Tan Manxing would rush forward without even confirming any danger.
"If you're scared, you can hide in the house."
"Miss Tan, I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about your safety."
Tan Manxing's face, which was originally cold, showed some emotion when she heard these words, but she didn't let him notice.
But in the end he said one more thing.
"This is the fastest way. Lingcun obviously has the biggest problem on the mountain. If we don't act soon and alert the enemy, it will only cause more trouble."
"How about this, I'll pretend and you'll follow behind secretly."
Tong Leren looked at Tan Manxing's persistent eyes, thought carefully and gave in.
He has been to so many places with his father, how could he let a little girl walk in front?
When Tan Manxing heard this, he refused directly.
"No, you're not as skilled as me, and if they find out you're a man, it will only cause more trouble."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Tong Leren wanted to say something else, so she stood up.
"That's settled."
Seeing how persistent she was, he had no choice but to compromise.
