Chapter 110: A chance encounter with a farmer
Zhao Fan was completely sleepless at this time, so he got up, slipped out quietly, and limped out of the yard. Ouyang Huixian was the only one left in the room who was still sleeping.
Zhao Fan listened to the chirping of birds in the mountains and felt the extremely fresh air. Unknowingly, he walked more than ten miles and looked around. Not far ahead, there was a farmhouse with a chimney sprouting smoke.
Silk green smoke.
Zhao Fan thought deeply for a moment, then moved towards the farmhouse.
Half an hour later, Zhao Fan knocked on the door of the farmhouse. The person who opened the door was an old man with silver hair. There was an old woman in the house who was cooking.
The old man opened the door and saw a handsome young stranger in front of him. He also saw a simple walking stick in his hand and asked doubtfully: "Who are you looking for?"
Zhao Fan smiled and said: "Old man, my name is Zhao Fan. I am a foreigner. I got lost in the mountains. I'm sorry to bother you. What is your name?"
The old man chuckled. It turned out that he was a lost man. The doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared and he said, "My surname is He. The person inside is my wife. If you are looking for us, you have found the right person."
The old man let Zhao Fan into the house and took out some wild fruits from the mountains. "Try the fruits from our mountains. They are very sweet. Most people can't eat them."
Zhao Fan saw that the old man was very enthusiastic, so he picked one up, took a bite, and nodded quickly: "Uncle He, this fruit is really different, it is indeed very sweet."
The two of them started chatting, and Zhao Fan asked doubtfully:
"How long have you been here? Are you familiar with this area?"
"Familiar, that's quite familiar. My wife and I have lived here all our lives. The mountains, rivers, plants and trees here are all engraved in our minds. If you are looking for me, you are looking for the right person."
Uncle He talks about the mountains and forests, and he talks about them all in great detail.
Zhao Fan asked again: "About ten miles from here, there is a small farmhouse. Do you know whose house it is?"
When Uncle He heard about the farmhouse, he immediately cursed, "It was built for his son. Fifteen years ago, Yi Tianba, the leader of the Flying Eagle Hall, took a fancy to that small courtyard, so he led a bunch of bastards and took me away."
My son was beaten to death and took over the past."
"I am incompetent and can only watch from a distance. I really hate that I was cowardly at that time. If I could have fought hard, I might have been able to save my son's life. Now, my wife and I are the only ones left, just to eat and wait to die."
It’s my share.”
The more Uncle He talked, the more excited he became, as if he was pouring out all the grievances he had suffered over the years. He was in tears and full of anger.
The wife on the side quickly persuaded, "Old man, stop talking. Yi Tianba is now the chief helmsman of the Flying Eagle Hall. We couldn't fight him before, and we can't fight him now. If they hear what you just said,
Yan has the fate of our old couple."
Zhao Fan also hurriedly tried to persuade him, "You need to calm down, there are evil people everywhere in this world, but no matter how happy they are, one day, someone will take care of them."
When Uncle He calmed down, Zhao Fan continued to ask: "Who does that small courtyard belong to now? Is it given to a girl named Xue?"
Uncle He shook his head repeatedly, "Five years ago, Yi Tianba gave the courtyard to Yang Lin, the deputy helmsman of Feiying Hall. A month ago, I saw him with my own eyes. As for the girl you are talking about, her surname is not Xue.
I don't know, she just came here in the past few days."
After Uncle He finished speaking, he hurriedly added, "You must stay away from that woman. She is also from Feiying Hall."
Zhao Fan nodded, "Thank you, Uncle He. It's getting late and I have to leave here."
When Uncle He heard this, his face was full of displeasure. He finally met a young man, and the conversation was quite friendly. He had not eaten yet, so he was about to leave. He was willing to let Zhao Fan leave.
Zhao Fan had no choice but to stay and have breakfast with Uncle He and his wife. He secretly left Da Yang with them and hurriedly left towards the farmyard.
Uncle He looked at his limping back and marveled in his heart. He was such a stubborn young man. If he wanted to take revenge, he had to be this person.
Zhao Fan walked forward slowly, his brain spinning rapidly. Xue Meijiao could already make a conclusion. Not only was she from Feiying Hall, but she also had a close relationship with Yang Lin, either as a relative or as a superior or subordinate.
Zhao Fan could not decide whether to expose her immediately or wait for her true colors to be exposed. If exposed, the two of them would inevitably turn against each other and fight with Feiyingtang, which would further worsen the situation.
If we wait for her to reveal her true colors, it will take too long. If something goes wrong in the middle, everyone will suffer together.
While he was thinking hard, there was a burst of noisy footsteps in the dense forest.
Zhao Fan stopped and ran into a dense bush, hiding his figure and looking in the direction of the source of the sound.
Not long after, three people appeared in front of them, all with serious faces. One of them, dressed as a scholar, was handsome and handsome. As he walked, he said to the two people around him:
"I think we're looking for a needle in a haystack this time. It's probably going to be difficult for us to get the food from the Escort Agency."
The other one said: "Yes, even you have no idea, and we have no choice. Why don't you take us to Fenghuang Ridge? I heard that Chang Yanzeng and the others followed the Black Iron Tower there, so we can resist together."
For the sake of Flying Eagle Hall, they should take us in."
The third person hurriedly added, "That's right, if you follow Ouyang Chuan, you will definitely have no future. You don't even know when you will lose your life."
The man dressed as a scholar said: "It is inappropriate to leave now. Ouyang Chuan is in charge of Lingji Temple, but he is confused by Li Anran and listens to her in everything. If we leave now, the Mighty Escort Agency will be left behind.
In her hand."
"Right now, we should stay calm and see what tricks she can pull off. As a last resort, we can contact other brothers and temporarily control the Mighty Escort Bureau. We must not fall into the hands of Li Anran."
Zhao Fan listened to the three people walking and discussing, and felt bad in his heart. Why were they looking for him? Could it be Ouyang Chuan's order to drive him away and then look for him back? Is there something fishy in this?
The more he thought about it, the less he understood it, so he had to wait for the three of them to go away before hurriedly returning to the farmyard.
When Zhao Fan walked into the room, he looked up and saw that Su Yunyun, Wild Rose, and Ouyang Huixian were staring at him blankly.
Just when Zhao Fan was about to ask, Wild Rose said angrily: "You are dishonest again. Where did you go without Ouyang Huixian?"
Su Yunyun and Ouyang Huixian remained silent, just watching his answer quietly.
Zhao Fan smiled and said: "After you and sister Yun left, I couldn't sleep. I went for a walk outside the hospital. I didn't expect to get lost. I came back late. How about you two asking about the situation?"
He did not tell the three of them that he had been to a farmhouse, met Uncle He and his wife, and met three people from the Mighty Escort Agency on the way.
Wild Rose listened to his explanation and thought it was okay, so she said: "Sister Yun and I entered Lingji Temple without any effort. It was empty. Then, we checked the rooms one by one. Only Senior Ouyang and Li Anran were in the room.
."
Zhao Fan opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't recover for a long time. How many people are there in Lingji Temple? Where are those treasures?
With doubts, Zhao Fan asked in a deep voice: "What are the two of them doing in the room? Did you hear what they were talking about?"
Wild Rose's face suddenly turned red and hesitantly said: "They seemed to be doing that. They listened for a long time without saying a word, and then we came back."
Zhao Fan asked in surprise: "What are you doing? Can you explain it clearly?"
Wild Rose said angrily: "It's the same thing you have to do every night, just think about it yourself."
Then he cursed in a low voice: "What good can a vixen do when he meets a thousand-year-old demon?"
Zhao Fan said expressionlessly: "Let's pack up and leave here. They don't want to stay in Lingji Temple, so we'll stay there. I want to ask, what do they plan to do with the treasure?"
Just as a few people were packing their things, Xue Meijiao knocked on the door and walked in with an unhappy look on her face.
"Zhao Fan, what have you been doing for four or five hours from morning to now? I have been looking for you to eat, but I can't find you. If you don't want to stay here, get out as soon as possible to save my aunt from waiting for you all day long."
Zhao Fan did not respond positively, but said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work these two days, we will leave now. I hope you stay. I will come back to find you after I finish handling the matters at hand."
Xue Meijiao scolded herself for being a bad mouthed person and not being able to say anything, but she let him take advantage of the loophole. It was too late to regret, so she had to make amends.
"You can leave if you want, but you have to take me with you. I can't cook these two days in vain, and you have to make up for it. Also, what will Ling Yijia do if you all leave? I can't serve him."
Zhao Fan said: "You're right, Ling Yijia hasn't woken up yet. Sister Yun has prepared medicine for him. With brothers Zhang Zong and Zhang Heng taking care of him, the most you can do is cook, which also reflects what you do.
The host’s hospitality is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, I’m sure you won’t refuse to agree!”
"Huh, don't bother me. You have three wives and one of them is left to cook for them. I have to go with you. If you run away, who will I look for?"
Xue Meijiao was unwilling to give up and resorted to cheating. No matter what Zhao Fan said, she just didn't agree to stay.
Zhao Fan shook his head helplessly, bringing a spy from Feiyingtang with him, putting himself in danger all the time. But leaving her behind, Ling Yijia might be even more dangerous. It seems that the only way to keep her is to keep her under control.
It’s okay to stay among them, but who is suitable to stay?
Just when he was in a dilemma, Zhang Heng knocked on the door and walked in.
"I'm sorry. I came to get the medicine. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. Don't make it difficult. I happen to know how to cook. With my brother and I here, I will definitely take good care of Brother Ling. You can go with ease."
Xue Meijiao spread her hands and said, "Look, someone has stepped forward voluntarily. Now that the cooking problem has been solved, can I go with you?"
Zhao Fan pretended to be relaxed and said: "In that case, let's go together. However, you are still responsible for our meal. We are not allowed to delay it any longer."
