Lu Ye nodded and said, "I've heard a little bit about it. Underground in Qingcheng, one tiger and one wolf divide the world into two parts."
Liu Chenghu showed a wry smile and said, "Where do I start? When I was young, I had a violent personality and was ruthless in killing. I almost suppressed Qin Tianlang."
"When I was about to kill Qin Tianlang, the child's mother gave birth to Xiangye, but she died on the spot due to dystocia."
"So I have always been indebted to Xiangye. It was only after she was born that I gradually calmed down my temper. I made an agreement with Qin Tianlang to divide the city into two parts. From now on, we will never touch the river."
"In recent years, Qin Tianlang has been ambitious and has been growing in strength. In the past two years, he has been slightly ready to make a move. But he has never been able to find a suitable reason to start a war."
"A while ago, a man named Liu Fanke approached my subordinate Xiao Kuang. You should still remember Xiao Kuang."
Lu Ye nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Liu Chenghu sighed, "After all, Xiaokuang has just arrived in Qingcheng and doesn't know the ways inside. He broke the rules. He took away Tianlang's business and gave Tianlang a reason to start a war."
"So, these days, I have been fighting with Sirius, and my injury was also caused by the villain of Sirius."
After Lu Ye heard this, he had no other expression.
He is not very interested in this kind of Jianghu disputes.
He suddenly changed the topic and said: "Now that we have finished talking about Sirius, there is another matter that interests me more."
"What's going on?" Liu Chenghu asked.
"Xiangdeng Village." Lu Ye spit out these three words.
Liu Chenghu's face changed on the spot, "How do you know Xiangdeng Village!"
Lu Ye couldn't deny it.
He heard the name of this village from Liu Xiangye just now.
This name naturally reminded him of another thing.
At the new meeting of the Pharmaceutical Association, the room was filled with red lanterns.
That red lantern is interesting.
Seeing that Lu Ye did not explain the reason, Liu Chenghu shook his head bitterly, "I don't know where you heard it from, but since you already know it, I won't hide it from you anymore. Are you free tomorrow?"
Lu Ye nodded, "Yeah."
"Tomorrow, I will take you to Xiangdeng Village before it is destroyed." When Liu Chenghu said this, there was indescribable sadness in his eyes.
Lu Ye made an appointment with him and left Liu Chenghu.
And when he returned, he learned from Feng Xue the final result of the Bai family's farce.
Before Chen Shuyun went to the bureau, she had been looking for connections all over the world, but she actually found a connection.
So the Bai family were only fined and educated, and no one went to jail.
Lu Ye had already guessed that there would be such a result and didn't take it to heart.
Early the next morning, Liu Chenghu's car parked in front of Lu Ye's house.
After Lu Ye got in the car, he found that Liu Xiangye was driving.
Liu Xiangye was obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Ye and didn't even say hello.
She was not taboo about Lu Ye's presence, and said to Liu Chenghu with an unhappy look on her face: "Are you really going to take this kid to Xiangdeng Village?"
Liu Chenghu said gently: "Well, this is the first time I have brought guests back in these years since I left the village."
Lu Ye was stunned.
It turns out that Liu Chenghu came from this village.
There was no talking all the way, and the car drove on the mountain road for a full five hours.
It was around noon when we arrived at a small fork in the road.
The car couldn't be driven in, so Liu Chenghu asked Liu Xiangye to park the car on the side of the road, and the three of them walked in.
After a while, Lu Ye smelled a faint fragrance.
This fragrance was exactly what Lu Ye smelled on that cinnabar century-old lamp.
The village should not be far away.
Liu Chenghu obviously looks timid in his hometown, with sadness written all over his face.
Three minutes later, a small village appeared in front of Lu Ye.
Liu Chenghu led the way, followed by Lu Ye.
Walking into the village, Lu Ye immediately discovered how strange this village was.
This village is very small, with only about a hundred households, and all the houses they live in are thatched huts, which are very simple.
Bright red lanterns are hung at the door of every house, which are cinnabar century-old lanterns.
However, according to common sense, when a red lantern is hung at the door, the surname must be written on the lantern.
But no one wrote their last name.
What's even more weird is that under the lanterns at the door of every house, there is a coffin!
This makes people's skin crawl.
However, Liu Chenghu and Liu Xiangye were obviously used to it and turned a blind eye to it.
Liu Chenghu seemed to have read through Lu Ye's thoughts and explained calmly: "This village is Xiangdeng Village. The people living in it are all craftsman slaves who escaped from a place hundreds of years ago. They have an inferiority complex of being slaves for generations.
, is engraved in their bones, so they think they are not qualified to have a surname. Even my surname Liu was chosen casually after I left the village."
Lu Ye frowned. The world is so big and full of wonders, but there are still some craftsmen and slaves?
But, is it really okay to live in such a humble way?
"These coffins are what they prepared for themselves. They are a group of people who have nothing to do with the world." Liu Chenghu sighed.
At this time, an old man with gray hair and a skinny body appeared in front of him.
Liu Chenghu quickly stepped forward, helped the old man out, and called out gently: "Village Chief, why did you come out in person?"
The village chief's hands and feet were shaking badly. Judging from his age, he must be ninety-one hundred.
The village chief showed a kind smile, but said something that made Lu Ye dumbfounded, "When my brother comes back, the elder brother will naturally greet him personally."
Brother? Brother?
What seniority is this?
Liu Chenghu asked Xiang Ye to help the village chief, and then walked side by side with Lu Ye.
Seeing the confusion on Lu Ye's face, Liu Chenghu explained in a low voice: "This is the brother I have played with since childhood. Although he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old, in fact, he is only fifty years old."
Fifty years old!
Lu Ye's whole body felt bad.
Does fifty look like a hundred?
What happened to this village?
Liu Chenghu said bitterly: "Don't look at him like this when he is fifty, but in fact, being fifty years old in this village is considered a miracle of longevity. Logically speaking, the people here cannot live beyond the age of forty..."
Lu Ye was extremely shocked!
"Go in first, you will know later." Liu Chenghu said.
When we entered the village, it was quite peaceful.
Many people are basking in the sun and weaving lanterns in front of their homes.
It was just these people who made Lu Ye's hair stand on end.
All of them were skinny and skinny, with sunken eyes, as if they were born with malnutrition.
But when they saw Lu Ye, an outsider, they all showed kind smiles.
"I know you still have many questions in your mind. Stay and participate in the Eternal Life Festival tonight. You will know everything." Liu Chenghu suddenly said to Lu Ye.
