Chapter five hundred and twentieth seventh meeting with the villagers
After Ji Ying said these words, she waved her arm quickly, then dodged and quickly hid behind the window, then raised her long knife and gently pushed the window open.
Although it was dark outside at this time, there were open fire lampstands everywhere. The firelight had already illuminated the villa brightly, and the view was very good.
Chen Zhi and Pang Wei also immediately extinguished the lights, retreated to both sides of the window, tried their best to hide their bodies, and looked out through the gap in the window.
Everything outside was empty, except for the wind blowing the flames on the brazier, crackling and crackling.
They stood behind the window for a long time, and it was still quiet outside.
At first, they didn't see anything wrong outside. Everything outside was empty. But when they looked more carefully, they suddenly discovered that there were several figures on the roof of the village house opposite.
Immediately afterwards, some vague shadows appeared behind several big trees around. Those shadows moved slowly. It was obvious that they wanted to come out, but they did not care.
"They are all hiding in the shadows...",
Ji Ying leaned against the window and whispered:
"These people are very light-footed and have great skills, but their steps are a bit messy. They obviously have not received professional training. They are still unable to resist me. Do you need me to catch them all?"
"No……"
Chen Zhi softly rejected Ji Ying's suggestion. He thought for a moment, then turned around and looked at Xiao Bai Shou sitting on the ground.
After Xiao Bai Shou said those words just now, he and Old Man Bai are now very excited, especially Old Man Bai, who is holding Bai Ren's spiritual tablet tightly at this time, and seems to have thousands of words to say to Xiao Bai Shou.
They had seen the current situation. Old Man Bai looked at Chen Zhi with blurred eyes, trying hard to hide Bai Shou behind him, as if he was afraid that Chen Zhi would do something unfavorable to them, desperately protecting the child.
"It's better you go!",
Chen Zhi pointed at Bai Shou and said,
"I just told you our general situation, please help me talk to them!
You are one of their people, and they will believe what you say. Go and tell the villagers here that the purpose of our visit is out of goodwill, and ask them not to reject me or cause any unnecessary conflicts.
I just saw that your people are very vigilant, and there should be ambushes around. Let's avoid these unnecessary sacrifices, call your village chief out, and let me talk to him face to face!"
Chen Zhi's words had clearly expressed his intention, but Bai Shou was very hesitant. He still sat there, his face a little purple, and kept staring at Chen Zhi, weighing what he just said.
At this time, the old man Bai next to him interjected:
"This child is too young, a little scared, and can't do anything!
Why don't I go with him? I have some connections with this village, so I should be able to convince him!"
"No need!",
Chen Zhi shook his head,
"He can, he is from here, and his words represent our last wishes.
It would be best if they are willing to accept us, but if they are not willing, it is helpless! We don’t have so much time to waste here!"
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he patted Pang Wei next to him. Pang Wei immediately understood, held the knife in one hand against the door, and gently pushed the door open through a gap.
Then, Ji Ying walked over, and in less than half a second, she connected Bai Shou's dislocated arm, then patted him and pushed him to the door.
Bai Shou's arm was obviously in pain just after it was connected, but he didn't shout out. Instead, he covered his left arm and moved a little bit out of the door. When he reached the door, he had obviously seen the people outside.
There was no one there, but he didn't rush over.
He looked back at Old Man Bai, then at the spiritual tablet in his hand, and finally turned his head again to look at Chen Zhi and others. With a final quick jump, he instantly disappeared into the black shadow in front of him, his movements very fast.
Then came the long wait...
This time was much longer than they expected. Everyone was waiting anxiously. The woman stayed by the bed, feeling the breath outside to prevent them from leaving suddenly~~~
Finally, when the sky dimly lit up, some figures finally appeared in front of the village houses.
These figures gathered together more and more, and they quickly gathered together. They were all teenagers in their fifteenth or sixteenth year. There were some shorter ones behind them, probably less than ten years old.
Their clothes are very simple. In fact, most of them are very shabby homespun cloth, which is full of patches. But everyone's body is strong, straight and neat, and very manly.
At the front of this group of people is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He is the strongest and tallest of them all. He has very short hair, shoulders full of muscles, and the lines on his face are very resolute, and that face
There is no longer any suspense, because it is basically carved from the same mold as Old Man Bai.
He took a few steps forward, walked under the fire plate on the high corner balcony, completely exposed his face to the light, and then shouted loudly into the room:
"Guests inside, please come out, I am Bai Ke, the village chief here.
I already know about your affairs, and I am willing to make friends with you!"
This young man's dialect is very strong. Although he is young, his tone has a masculine tone, he is strong and confident, and his voice is very open-minded, giving people a feeling of trust from the heart.
Chen Zhi and the others looked at each other, then opened the door and walked outside.
"You are Baike...",
Chen Zhi greeted the young man in front of him,
"I have taken the liberty to bother you this time. We have some things to do and would like to borrow your precious place to stay! Please make it convenient for you!"
"no problem!",
The young man clasped his fists openly, his movements and demeanor were exactly the same as those of ancient people.
“If there is anything you need to do down below, we’ll be happy to help!
Although I have never met foreigners, when I was a child, I often heard my uncle and uncle talk about things outside and friends outside.
My cousin told me just now that you are people who have connections with me in Wuhou Valley and are friends of our Bai family. Since we have a past fate, then I, Bai Ke, am your friend!
