Chapter 42: Doubt in the Heart

Wild Rose insisted again:

"No, absolutely not. I will also go to pay tribute to the 189 dead souls in Xiaoyao Village. They are the great heroes in my heart. I must go, and there is also Su Murong, the genius doctor of Qilin Village. Because he has a daughter Su Yunyun, who cured my mother's illness, he is also my indirect benefactor. How can I not go? That will make people feel that I am ungrateful."

Zhao Fan listened, what she said made some sense, so he stopped stopping and had to nod his head to agree.

Early the next morning, three fast horses appeared on the mountain road leading to Xiaoyao Mountain and Xiaoyao Village.

Qilin Village

When Su Yunyun saw her father's grave, two lines of tears rolled down and burst into tears. Zhao Fan and Ye Meigui stepped forward and pulled her up with all their might. The three men repaired the graves, put in incense and worshiped them, and kowtowed three respectfully.

Zhao Fan was about to get up when he found that there was a young girl beside him. He quickly turned his head and looked at her. He saw that she was focused and looked straight, and was also paying respectfully. He did not make any noise, but just stared at her silently.

Wild Rose discovered that Zhao Fan was strange and turned her head. She found that there was another person next to Zhao Fan. This person was Lu Xinlei, and she couldn't help but frowned, "Miss Lu, aren't you in Phoenix Ridge? Why did you get here without anyone knowing it?"

Lu Xinlei raised her mouth and said with a smile: "Whoever stipulates that you are allowed to worship me, I can't. She is my sister Yun's father. Should I come? What's more, if you leave Phoenix Ridge, who will I be an assistant for?"

Wild rose was speechless for a moment and couldn't answer. Zhao Fan saw the two girls talking and verbally as soon as they met, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Since you have come, it's meaningless to say anything, so I'd better comfort Su Yunyun."

The two girls also knew that this was not a place to argue, so they both kept silent and gently helped Su Yunyun up.

After worshiping the genius doctor, Su Murong, a man and three women continued to move forward. As noon approached, the four of them arrived at the foot of a magnificent mountain. Zhao Fan turned around to look at the three women.

Little beads of sweat had appeared on Wild Rose and Su Yunyun's forehead, but their steps were still steady.

Lu Xinlei grew up in a big city. She had no experience in walking on mountain roads and was not as physically as the two of them. She had already sweated profusely, her feet were slipping, and her clothes were half wet with sweat. Her originally thin clothes were now tightly pressing against her, making her look a little embarrassed.

Zhao Fan suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't explain what it was, so he had to say: "Let's go to the front to rest. There is a stream there, which can just wash your face and relieve fatigue."

Lu Xinlei said breathlessly: "Okay, this mountain road is indeed not as good as the official road. I can't walk a single step."

"Who asked you to follow me? No one forced you with a knife. You are just asking for trouble. If it really doesn't work, you should go back to Phoenix Ridge first." Wild Rose said sarcastically.

Lu Xinlei was about to refute, but when his feet slipped, he staggered and his body fell backwards.

Zhao Fan jumped, reached out to block her waist, pulled it into his arms, and then stabilized his body. Although the two did not fall, they hugged each other tightly.

Lu Xinlei's face turned red in an instant, she lowered her head shyly, and enjoyed this rare moment happily. How she hoped that this moment could last forever and always rely on his arms.

In desperation, Zhao Fan had no time to consider the difference between men and women. When he stood still, he realized that he was actually holding Lu Xinlei's soft waist, hurriedly retracted his hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, it was too dangerous just now. In desperation, there was so many offenses, please forgive me."

Before Lu Xinlei could open his mouth, Wild Rose had already rushed out, "Miss Lu, you did it on purpose."

Lu Xinlei's face turned redder and hesitated, "I was really accidentally, my feet slid a little while ago. Thank you, Brother Fan, I don't blame you. If it weren't for you, I might have fallen."

Wild Rose wanted to say something else, but Su Yunyun strode to Lu Xinlei, "Brother Fan, you lead the way, I'll take care of Sister Lu."

Wild rose had already seen that Su Yunyun was jealous, so she was not the same? So she stopped talking and walked to Lu Xinlei. The two of them were supporting her, but rather monitoring her, just in case she had any tricks.

Zhao Fan was meditating and silent, but his heart was ups and downs and turbulent. The moment he hugged Lu Xinlei's waist just now, he felt familiar, as if he felt like a person in that absurd dream that day.

Could it be that the person in bed that night was Lu Xinlei? This is impossible, but the feeling in his hands is not wrong. Zhao Fan was caught in a whirlpool of confusion for a moment and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Brother Fan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Su Yunyun looked at Zhao Fan without moving, stood in a daze, and asked worriedly.

Zhao Fan's thoughts were interrupted by Su Yunyun's voice, and he hurriedly raised his head, "It's okay, let's go quickly."

Before he could walk a few steps, Zhao Fan suddenly stopped and turned around to make a sound ban, returned to the three women, lowered his voice and said, "Come with me quickly, someone is talking in front of us, and he is walking towards us, as if the visitor is not good."

Wild rose listened carefully and felt that there were quite a few people coming. He hurriedly supported Lu Xinlei and followed Zhao Fan. The four of them hid in a bush not far away.

Soon, the visitor had approached and they heard them say:

"It's been more than a year. If there were clues, they would have disappeared long ago. It seems that our trip was in vain."

"It's useless to say this now. Why did you go long ago?"

"That's right, if you have the ability, go and talk to Du Dajia. Take our brothers to this place where birds don't poop, and there is not even a place to drink."

"Du Lao Geda, come down from Xiaoyao Village. This mountain road is the closest, and there is no other road."

"I can't blame me for this. Xiaoyao Village is remote. Who would have thought of coming here? I reminded the boss that as long as you catch Zhao Fan, you will definitely find what we need. But the boss didn't listen and insisted on asking me to take you to Xiaoyao Village to see. What can I do?"

...

Zhao Fan listened carefully to the conversation of the group of people in front of him. Wild rose patted his shoulder from behind, pointed at a person in front of him, and whispered:

"Look, the person walking behind is Huang Sanbiao, the head of Mopanshan, and the person in front of him seems to be Du Lisan's iron-core subordinate Du Lao Geda, so the others don't know him."

Zhao Fan looked along his finger and found that it was indeed Huang Sanbiao. He frowned. He defected to Du Lisan and gained trust so quickly. It was really not easy.

Wild Rose whispered, "They have more than thirty people, are we going to fight?"

"Let's avoid them for the time being. We don't need to turn against Du Lisan directly. He is now strong and can avoid his sharp edge first and make plans in the future."

Zhao Fan thought about it over and over again, feeling that he could not compete directly with Du Lisan at all. If he attacked rashly, it might put a huge pressure on Fenghuangling, but Huang Sanbiao in front of him still made him feel annoyed.

Wild rose said: "We just let Huang Sanbiao go like this. Isn't it a bit too cheap for him?"

"Not necessarily, you guys are here later, I'll come." After Zhao Fan said that, he had already sneaked out quietly

After about a cup of tea, he had retreated to a path that Huang Sanbiao must pass, which was four or five hundred meters away from Su Yunyun and the others. After determining the safe distance, he hurriedly hid next to a big tree, just covering his body, and secretly buckled three copper coins in his hand and stared at the front.
