Chapter 18: The Village Changes

The next morning, birds chirped in the forest and the mountain springs gurgled. The golden apes, Zheng Xiaolin, Yanran and Dazhuang all woke up slowly. After a night of rest, everyone's energy recovered.

Seeing that the Golden Ape Clan was nothing, Zheng Xiaolin called Yanran and said goodbye to the Ape King. Xiao Jin naturally wanted to follow them back to the village. The Red Pupil Golden Ape King was a little reluctant, and prepared a lot of various fruits and monkey wines for him, and they stopped until they could no longer take them.

Zheng Xiaolin and the other two took Xiaojin and waved goodbye to the Ape King, and embarked on a journey back to the village. Everyone talked and laughed along the way. Before they knew it, they were walking to the edge of the village. Zheng Xiaolin, the leader, suddenly realized that there seemed to be rolling smoke rising in the direction of the village. He quickly stopped and said, "Yanran, Dazhuang, come quickly, look at the direction of the smoke. The smoke seemed to rise from the village?" Yanran and Dazhuang also took two steps and walked forward to watch. Yanran had a very good eye. She confirmed after a closer look: "It was in the village. Could it be that something happened in the village in just one day?"

"Let's go back and see it." After Zheng Xiaolin said that, with Yanran, Dazhuang and Xiaojin, who were also anxious, ran back to the village quickly. When they arrived near the door, they found that their house was burned and thick smoke came out from here. Zheng Shi'an and his wife were extinguishing the fire and had just put out the fire. Zheng Xiaolin and Yanran hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Dad, mother, the child is back. What happened? Why did the fire fall at home?" Zheng Shi'an felt a little calm when he saw them coming back, and said to them: "Hey! Children, after you went to the forest yesterday, you were still safe during the day, but suddenly a group of thieves broke into the village at night. They entered the village.

After that, he robbed everywhere, and a few came to our house. The leader said that Xiao Jin, who heard that our family was a rare red-eyed golden ape, had to hand it over to them. He said that you and Xiao Jin were not at home, and even Xiao Jin was at home, we could not agree to the thieves to take him away. Your Uncle Guo and his fellow villagers were angry, so they fought with them. However, the thieves were numerous and powerful, and they also held weapons, and injured several of us in succession. Although your Uncle Guo was skilled in martial arts, they were surrounded by them and finally outnumbered, so the thieves caught them. Before leaving, the thieves said, let us hand over Xiao Jin and go to Heifeng Mountain 60 miles north of the village to replace people. If Xiao Jin is not handed over within three days, they will kill your Uncle Guo.”

Yanran and Dazhuang were very anxious when they heard this, and Dazhuang was even more angry and shouted: "The dog robber dared to capture my father, and wanted to steal Xiaojin. I won't smash your Black Wind Mountain!!!" Zheng Xiaolin was also angry with these bandits. He said to Yanran and Dazhuang: "Yanran, don't worry, Dazhuang, we must save Uncle Guo, but yesterday's battle was damaged, so we will prepare to replenish them quickly. It's not too late to set off." Bai also said: "Yes, there are many bandits, you can go there after you have enough. Moreover, after the bandits captured your Uncle Guo, your father asked Uncle Zhang to ride a horse to Yangling County to report to the official position. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have arrived at Yangling County."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiaolin said, "It's so good! With our own strength, it will take a lot of trouble to rescue Uncle Guo alone. If the government can send people to rescue him together, the chance will be great. Yanran, Dazhuang, without further ado, let's quickly replenish the weapons and then go and save Uncle Guo."

"Yes, let's prepare now." Yanran finished answering and turned around and returned to his home with Dazhuang. Yanran filled the ordinary arrows with quiver pots, and the sky-shaking arrows were also in the dark, and then brought the lancet. Dazhuang's whistle stick was slightly broken and cracked, but he was able to do it, so he repeatedly wrapped the linen strips and fixed them, and then brought them out.

Zheng Xiaolin's steel fork rod was bitten by Yinshan Wolf in a fierce battle yesterday, and only brought the iron fork head back. He found a hardwood stick that he usually practiced, and then matched it with the fork head to make a new steel fork in his hand. When he went out, he got along with Yanran and Dazhuang, and Xiao Jin was always following him.

When Zheng Shi'an and his wife and many villagers saw that they were going to save Guo Zhendong, they all came to see them off. Zheng Shi'an said to them earnestly: "Although you three are skilled in martial arts and are the highest in the village, there are many bandits. You should protect yourself more, act according to the opportunity, and take wisdom first."

Zheng Xiaolin replied: "Remember my father's teachings, please rest assured by parents and fellow villagers. We must find a way to rescue Uncle Guo and come back safely."

"It's so great, we're waiting for you to return safely." After Zheng Shi'an and his wife and fellow villagers sent Zheng Xiaolin and the others for a trip, Xiaolin, Yanran, Dazhuang and Xiaojin went down the direction of Heifeng Mountain 60 miles north of the village.

They had reached the Qisi Realm. It was no problem for them to run dozens of miles. Xiao Jin was even more quick and intelligent, and could follow him by running. The three of them were anxious, so they all ran away as fast as possible. In less than an hour, they had halfway through the journey and a three-way intersection was ahead. Zheng Xiaolin slowed down and stopped, saying to Yanran and Dazhuang: "According to our journey, we can reach Heifeng Mountain in a short time. It's not too late to take a break before leaving." After Yanran replied "Okay", they sat down in the bushes by the side of the road and drank water.

While resting, Zheng Xiaolin saw smoke and dust rolling on a fork in the distance, and there was a faint sound of people shouting at the neighing of horses. He hurriedly called Yanran and Dazhuang Xiaojin Invisible Tree behind. Dazhuang asked in a low voice: "It's not that the dog robber is back, right? If it's true, see how I deal with them, hum!"

"It depends on the situation and there are many people. Dazhuang, don't worry, wait until they get closer and see clearly before talking." Zheng Xiaolin comforted Dazhuang.

The people in the distance were closer, Yanran had good eyesight, and she saw that the person riding on the horse in front was like Uncle Zhang in the village. After taking a closer look, she said affirmatively: "Xiaolin, Dazhuang, Uncle Zhang is in front. It's really Uncle Zhang who has returned from reporting to the official."

"Let's go out and take a look. If the government rescuers brought by Uncle Zhang, then we will gather together to break the Black Wind Mountain and rescue Uncle Guo."
