Chapter 8698 Things I don’t know
Dalin Village.
Ouyang Heng took a sip of tea and asked his question.
Faced with Ouyang Heng's question, the old village chief Bashan was silent for a while and then wiped away his tears.
“The gang of thieves were so fierce that all the men in the village were killed before they had time to escape. My little son also died under the butcher’s knife of the thieves.”
"At that time, I saw the thieves wearing blue robes of the same style. There was nothing special about them, but they all had martial arts, and their martial arts were very high."
The old village chief recalled, while Wiping his tears with the back of his hand.
"Where did they go after they passed through the village?"
What puzzled Ouyang Heng the most was that since they killed many villagers in Dalin Village, the group of thieves were so He disappeared, and the bandits who came out to rob and kill no longer appeared nearby.
And from the words of the old village chief, it has been confirmed that the identities of the thieves are extraordinary, and they are not ordinary thieves.
"They went into the mountains. We don't know where they went." The old village chief, Bashan, shook his head.
Afterwards, Ouyang Heng talked with the old village chief Bashan for a while, and learned more about the situation in the village.
The youngest son of the old village chief Bashan was already in his twenties when he died last year. The old village chief is only fifty-nine years old this year, but he looks like a seventy-year-old man. .
The hard life in the countryside has brought his body and bones to the end of his life. Fortunately, his eldest son is a skilled clay worker and can earn a lot of money by working on building houses for others. .
The old village chief Bashan himself serves as the village chief only because he is older and has great prestige in the village. The position itself cannot bring him any money.
About half an hour later, Ouyang Heng saw Jian August walking in from outside with his head lowered.
"Brother Ouyang, my parents...are no longer alive." Jian August burst into tears.
He had been holding back when he learned about the current situation, but now after seeing Ouyang Heng, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Ouyang Heng said nothing, any words spoken now are pale.
Such pain can only be borne by oneself, others cannot share it.
"What are your plans for the future?" After a while, Ouyang Heng said slowly.
At this time, Jian August had adjusted.
"Brother Ouyang, my sister is raised in my uncle's house and is doing well. I want to go back to the mine to make money." Jian August wiped away her tears.
“Don’t you want to stay in the village and take care of your sister nearby?” Ouyang Heng frowned.
"I have thought about it seriously. If I stay in the village, it will be difficult for me to make money, and I will not be able to take care of my sister. I can't do anything except mining." Jian August said.
"Aren't you afraid that mining will cost you your life?" Ouyang Heng said.
"I'm afraid, but I can't help it. I can only dig, I can't even farm, and my family has no fields anymore." Jian August said.
"Old village chief, where is the fields of the August family?" Ouyang Heng turned his head and looked at the old village chief Ba Shan.
"It was distributed to other people last year, and part of it was given to his uncle to raise the children." The old village chief Bashan was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
These fields have been given out, and it is not that difficult to take them back.
"It's okay, Grandpa Eighth. I don't want the land anymore. Those few acres of thin farmland are not worth much money." Jian August said.
After meeting those big shots, Jian August actually didn’t want to stay in the village.
If his parents were still there, he would probably stay, but with his parents gone and only one little sister living a good life, he didn't have much reason to stay in Dalin Village.
"Okay, wait until I go back and take you with me." After thinking about it, Ouyang Heng decided to take Jian August back.
"Old village chief, take me to Orion's house. I want to go into the mountains and have a look." Ouyang Heng said.
Dalin Village is not far from Sixiang City. Near Dalin Village, there are continuous mountains that extend to the Hengduan Mountains.
At Orion's house, Ouyang Heng met the most powerful hunter in Dalin Village under the recommendation of the old village chief Bashan.
Hunter Lin Dong had a capable face and his eyes fell on Ouyang Heng.
He felt a breath of energy that the old village chief Bashan could not feel.
"This lord has very deep inner strength." Hunter Lin Dong said in astonishment.
“It’s just average, just enough.”
Ouyang Heng smiled slightly.
"There is no need to worry. Although the mountains are very dangerous, with such a high level of cultivation, as long as you are properly prepared, you will not be afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards." Hunter Lin Dong said with his fists in hand.
"Well, you should know the route that the thieves took into the mountain."
Ouyang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
If you can tell that he has high internal strength, he should have good internal strength himself.
Ouyang Heng did not make any cover-up, which is why he was so easy to see through. If he had used the Qi-condensing technique in advance, he could have concealed his internal strength.
"Sir, I know." Hunter Lin Dong nodded, he did not deny it.
"Okay, pack up, and then we will go into the mountain together." Ouyang Heng has already made up his mind and is preparing to go into the mountain this time.
Packing up the things that went into the mountain was very fast. Many of the things were ready-made by Hunter Lin Dong. As long as they speeded up, they could get it done.
In less than an hour, Ouyang Heng and hunter Lin Dong were already on the road into the mountain.
"Ahead is their route into the mountain." Hunter Lin Dong pointed to the road ahead.
"Strange, this road is very narrow. What can they do if they go in?"
Originally Ouyang Heng had an idea, but now, he felt that his idea might be a bit Whimsical.
"Sir, this mountain road is narrow, which means that it is very hidden inside."
"Look at the mountain over there. In the nearby villages of Shiliba, no one dares to enter. It is said that there are monsters and ghosts in there. But others don’t dare to enter, but I dare to enter.”
“So I know something that others don’t know.” Hunter Lin Dong raised his eyebrows.
"What don't others know?" Ouyang Heng said slowly.
"If others ask, I won't tell you, but your Excellency is different. You are a senior official of the imperial court. Let me tell you, your Excellency may be able to solve this matter." Hunter Lin Dong said.
"Is it a difficult matter?" Ouyang Heng frowned. It was probably an extremely difficult matter that could make hunter Lin Dong keep his mouth shut.
"Speaking of which, there is no secret. The thieves built a secret place in a cave in the mountain. They hide in it, and only occasionally do people come out to make purchases." Hunter Lin Dong said.
"They only entered last year. Could this hiding place be established so quickly?" Ouyang Heng asked doubtfully.
"They are all natural caves. Someone may have hidden in them before the previous dynasty. Now they can solve the problem with a little renovation. It is okay to live in them." Hunter Lin Dong said.
