"It's okay." Su Anran smiled, "It's much better than where we lived earlier."
"That's good, that's good."
A burly young bald man couldn't help but reveal a simple and honest smile on his face.
Su Anran and Song Jue also smiled back.
The picture looks quite harmonious.
But in fact, Su Anran and Song Jue have already passed the period of judging each other's emotions by the expressions on each other's faces - there are a lot of old foxes in the mysterious world, if they can judge each other simply by their expressions
His true thoughts have long been eaten to the point where no bones are left.
This is the second day after Su Anran and Song Jue arrived in Hailong Village.
The burly bald man in front of him is now the village chief of Hailong Village.
Because of the special nature of the demon world, the leader of the gathering place here is not an ancestral system, but the one who is capable.
Zhang Hai is the thirteenth generation village chief of Hailong Village. His great-grandfather and father were also the village chiefs of Hailong Village. Strictly speaking, he is still a standard yamen.
It's just that there are not many such yamen status in Hailong Village. In addition to Zhang Hai's Zhang family, there are also Xu family, Zeng family, Zhao family, etc., all of whom have ancestors who have served as the head of Hailong Village.
As time went by, these families had their ups and downs, but eventually they gradually developed into a large-scale family, which naturally contributed to the prosperity and strength of Hailong Village.
In the Hailong Shrine in Hailong Village, there are four treasure halls, respectively dedicated to the famous weapons used by the ancestors of the Zhang family, the Xu family, the Zeng family, and the Zhao family - the world of demons. There are only nine magic weapons in total.
This naturally leads to the preciousness of famous weapons, so usually in some big families, famous weapons are like magical weapons that suppress the fate of a family and cannot be used lightly.
"By the way, why didn't you see Brother Cheng?"
"He is still waiting for a reply in Xinfang." Zhang Hai said with a smile.
"That's it." Su Anran nodded and did not ask any more questions about this question.
Although he wasn't sure why he had to wait in the letter shop for a reply after sending the letter, he knew that Zhang Hai had set a trap here and was planning to lure him into asking relevant questions in depth, so Su Anran would naturally not do what the other party wanted.
Seeing that Su Anran didn't seem to want to ask any more questions, Zhang Hai's face remained as calm as ever, but there was still a hint of regret in his eyes.
Song Jue on the side watched the whole process. Only when Zhang Hai changed the topic to her, she would answer a few words, but the topic would end soon, without giving the other party a chance to communicate in depth - this is true.
It is quite in line with Song Jue’s identity and personality at this time: as a younger sister, she naturally
It was not her turn to speak too much; even if her second identity was revealed, as a samurai, she naturally had no qualifications to say much; similarly, in her third identity, she was the great shrine maiden, and such social issues
Naturally, she was not qualified to bother her with the inquiry, or at least Zhang Hai was not qualified to talk to her on an equal footing.
The character Su Anran designed for Song Jue was not something that came up out of the blue, but was designed in full compliance with Song Jue's character traits, striving to avoid making anyone suspicious no matter what level of identity is exposed.
.
But this way, the atmosphere naturally becomes quite awkward.
So Zhang Hai didn't stay too long. After chatting with each other for a while, he chose to say goodbye and leave.
As the temporary owner of this temporary residence, Su Anran stood up to see her off. After the two parties said goodbye at the door, Su Anran quickly turned around and returned.
However, when both parties turned their backs to each other at the same time, the expressions of both Zhang Hai and Su Anran instantly became gloomy.
"He is testing us." After returning to the room, Song Jue was the first to speak, "I guess Cheng Zhong didn't come out to see us this time, so he must be doubting us."
"It's normal." Su Anran nodded, "But I blame myself for being careless. I didn't pay much attention to Cheng Zhong's performance at Tianyuan Shrine before. It turns out that guy has been acting since then."
Su Anran hadn't reacted before, but now he suddenly woke up after seeing Zhang Hai's performance.
The message transmission of the messenger bird is naturally not slow. After all, it is the only means of communication in the world, especially since the messenger bird also has a certain demon blood. This also allows the messenger bird to continue on its way at nightfall, and will not be like humans.
You must find shelter.
But Cheng Zhong is already the commander of the army. If he rushes on at all costs, except that he has to find a shelter to rest at night, his speed will not necessarily be much slower than that of the messenger bird.
According to Su Anran's estimation, it is probably the time difference between the front and back legs of the messenger bird.
In this way, after Cheng Zhong rushed to Hailong Village to deliver the news to Zhang Hai, they should continue their journey instead of staying here and wasting time.
Even to the extreme, Cheng Zhong could have taken them to Chunfeng Village as originally planned, and then told the owner of Chunfeng Village about the shepherd's following and sneak attack, and he would have sent people to Hailong Village, and then Cheng Zhong would have continued to take Su
An Ran and Song Jue moved forward together. In this way, they could even join the Jun Wu Mountain meeting when he and others arrived at Jun Wu Mountain - Su Anran didn't believe that such a big thing would happen, and the Jun Wu Mountain meeting would not even hold a discussion meeting.
No.
However, Cheng Zhong did not choose this approach.
Instead, they are wasting time here in Hailong Village.
Su Anran and Song Jue are not stupid people. It's okay if they didn't pay attention before. Now they are suspicious. How could they not find the inconsistency.
"What should I do?" Song Jue asked.
Su Anran did not reply immediately.
He frowned in thought.
"If we don't follow the original plan, we will go directly to Cheng Zhong for a showdown."
"Showdown?" Song Jue was a little surprised.
Su Anran's original plan was to inquire about the location of Junwu Mountain and Plateau Mountain in Hailong Village. If Cheng Zhong was unwilling to accompany them, they would leave Cheng Zhong and go on their own. Although they did not have Cheng Zhong as a leader, they
It may be difficult to understand the inherited knowledge of Junwu Mountain, but Su Anran believes that there will be a way eventually. If it is not possible, it is okay to "borrow" it.
But now that Cheng Zhong has other plans, it is naturally impossible for Su Anran to continue to act according to the original plan.
He is not someone who sits still and waits for death.
Although Su Anran was quite happy to be a moron in the presence of the senior sisters from Taiyigu, but now that he is the person in charge, he should naturally take responsibility. What's more, in this operation, he also has
It was his own purpose, so helping Song Jue solve the problem of the subsequent inheritance of the sword-drawing technique was actually equivalent to helping himself.
Su Anran still understands this clearly.
"Remember our second-level identity, right?"
Song Jue nodded: "I am your warrior and you are the priest."
"Remember, we are the envoys of Izumo." After saying this, Su Anran got up and walked towards the door.
Although Song Jue was confused, she still followed closely behind Su Anran.
Compared with Linshan Village, Hailong Village is indeed much larger in scale. It is estimated that there are about 120 to 30 households, of which the four major families account for about 50 households - the human race in this world
Development is somewhat equivalent to the war-torn old times, which encourages more children and more nourishment. After all, there is no shortage of meat. What is really lacking is the harvest of fruits, vegetables, rice and other grains.
Therefore, this can easily lead to nutritional imbalances in people in this world.
It is true that people who practice martial arts need a lot of meat, but practicing martial arts is not about cultivating immortals - in the mysterious world, Su Anran can even supplement the various nutrients needed by the body by taking elixirs, but there is no concept of elixirs in the demon world
.As a result, it naturally makes it difficult to expand the scale of village development in the demon world, because it is restricted by rice grains. On the other hand, it is caused by nutritional imbalance: this problem is the most serious.
If nutrition is not balanced, the demon hunters in this world will develop many hidden diseases that they cannot understand as they continue to practice. In addition, when fighting demons, they also need to constantly overdraw their vitality, so demon hunters are often quite short-lived.
, few people can live beyond the age of fifty, unless they retreat to the second line and no longer need to take action.
Su Anran was walking on the road of Hailong Village. As he watched along the way, he found that there were no people over the age of fifty in the village.
Basically, they are all young adults in their twenties and thirties, and those over forty are quite rare.
But different from the age group, almost everyone in Hailong Village wears weapons and has strong blood and blood - almost everyone here has the strength to be a leader, and even the captain has two or three
Ten people, this scale can be said to be almost ten times that of Linshan Villa.
Song Jue's face looked a little ugly.
Because she had probably guessed the reason.
Su Anran also felt that this approach was a bit hurtful and too cruel, but he still didn't say anything. After all, he didn't plan to develop in this world, so he was naturally not qualified to comment.
After asking all the way, the two of them soon arrived at the Xinfang that Zhang Hai mentioned before.
Cheng Zhong and Zhang Hai are indeed here.
In addition to these two people, there are six other people in Xinfang. Four of them are as strong as commanders like Zhang Hai and Cheng Zhong. Although the other two are just squad commanders, their aura is stronger than that of Chen Jing.
More powerful and younger - Chen Jing may have reached the limit of being a soldier, but if these two people have enough opportunities, they may try to reach the realm of generals.
In the history of Hailong Village, there have been more than one generals.
The current head of Hailong Village is only half a step away from the general. This is why he can serve as the head of Hailong Village. Otherwise, under the premise that the heads of other families are also commanders, why should Zhang Hai be the head of the general?
Can you convince others?
"Brother Su, Miss Song, why are you here?" Cheng Zhong saw a look of surprise on his face when he saw Su Anran and Song Jue. He obviously didn't expect these two people to come over like this.
"Without further ado, I just want to ask Brother Cheng, when do you plan to set off again?" Su Anran didn't want to be polite to these people and said straight to the point.
Hearing Su Anran's words, everyone else was a little stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Su Anran to say that.
This already seems quite impolite.
"Haha, Brother Su." Seeing that the others were silent, Zhang Hai came out with a smile to smooth things over, "We have already sent a letter to Junwushan. According to the regulations, we must wait here for Junwushan's reply and arrangements.
So...Mr. Cheng cannot leave for the time being."
Cheng Zhong, who has been recognized by Thunder Sword, will definitely be a pillar of Zhuli in the future as long as he does not fall. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Zhang Hai to call him sir in advance. In the same way, he calls Su Anran little brother with some respect.
, but only he himself knows whether this respect is superficial or genuine.
"Okay." Su Anran nodded, "Give me some direction, and my sister and I will go there by ourselves."
"Well……"
Zhang Hai, who was smiling, suddenly felt choked up on his face.
The subtext in his words just now was naturally to appease Su Anran and wanted him to stay here for a few more days, so the polite tone was also to make each other look good. But at this moment, Su Anran completely put aside his domineering attitude.
He showed it vividly and without caring about human feelings at all. This naturally turned Zhang Hai's polite words into a groveling performance, which was deliberately embarrassing.
Thinking back to Zhang Hai's status as the head of Hailong Village, he is now embarrassed. It is not him alone, nor is it the Zhang family.
In an instant, the expressions of several other people in the Xinfang became ugly.
There was even one person among them who took one step and stood in front of Su Anran.
The expressions of Cheng Zhong and Zhang Hai changed drastically in an instant.
