Most of the people in Lintao Water Village have the surname Leng, and only a few have the surname of their in-laws, such as Dong Xiang and others. Therefore, there is no doubt that the clan leader is also surnamed Leng, and his name is "Lengpeng".
Chief Leng heard that Guan Heng and his men first sent a lot of giant black pomfret to the village, and then took action to kill the demon leech group. He knew that these distinguished guests were not trivial, so he immediately followed Dong Xiang to meet with everyone, and extended an earnest invitation.
Everyone went to Lintao Water Village to be guests.
Seeing that the clan leader was quite enthusiastic, Guan Heng and the others felt relieved and followed him and Dong Xiang into the village.
This Lintao Water Village is not very large, with six or seven hundred residents. As Guan Heng heard from Dong Xiang before, most of the locals are surnamed Leng, and they can be considered to be members of the Leng clan.
Clan village.
When entering the village, Guan Heng took a peek and realized that there was indeed something unusual in the village. The villagers were coming and going in a hurry, either taking the time to clean up the fish that had been dried outside, or taking fish bone forks to fish.
Bone Blade walked back and forth in the stronghold to inspect, and it was exactly what Tian Lin and Ruotao said, it seemed like he was facing a formidable enemy.
But everyone had just arrived, and they would leave after a night's rest and hit the road. Guan Heng and the others did not ask. After all, this was a private matter in the village, so it was better not to inquire. After a while, everyone came to the house of Chief Leng Peng.
at home.
As soon as Patriarch Leng entered the door, he asked his wife and daughter to quickly prepare delicious meals to entertain Guan Heng and others. In a short time, the food and wine were served, and Patriarch Leng's family and Dong Xiang who were accompanying them invited everyone to sit down and have a meal.
At this moment, Leng Peng suddenly frowned slightly and asked his wife: "Where is Jin'er? Where did this brat go to have fun again? I don't know if there are guests at home? There are no rules."
"Dad, that's not the case." Leng Peng's daughter explained at this time: "Ever since Jindi sneaked out of the village to play and was dragged back and beaten by you, he has become much more honest. I just heard that the family
When guests came, Jindi said he wanted to pick some fresh mountain mushrooms to make soup for the guests, so he went out."
"Oh, that's it." In front of guests like Guan Heng, Leng Peng was naturally embarrassed to talk too much about his son, but at the next moment, there was a sudden burst of birdsong outside the patriarch's house: "
Quack-quack-quack-"
"It sounds like a snake bird..." Guan Heng was suddenly startled at this moment, and he thought to himself: "Why don't this stupid bird get into any trouble again?"
Thinking of this, Guan Henghuo stood up and said to everyone: "You can do whatever you want for now. I have to find the elephant, snake and bird. Otherwise, I will really feel uneasy."
Agou waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, go early and come back early."
Since the guest is about to go out, Patriarch Leng, as the host, naturally has to take two steps out. But when he and Guan Heng stepped out of the door, the snake-like bird suddenly folded its wings and folded its feathers and landed on the steps. Guan Heng was slightly stunned at this moment.
He frowned and suddenly asked: "What is that you are grabbing on your paws?"
Upon hearing Guan Heng's question, the snake-like bird immediately threw the object in its claws to him. Guan Heng took it and took a look. It turned out to be a copper bracelet, very small in size, and seemed to be a child's ornament.
"Uh?! This, isn't this the copper bracelet that my son Leng Jin always wears?" Leng Peng immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly: "How did it appear under the claws of this monster bird?"
"Clan Chief Leng, don't worry. The snake-like bird is relatively honest. It will definitely not hurt any children."
When Guan Heng said this, he suddenly found something wet on the copper bracelet. He picked it up with his hand and whispered: "It's blood, like a snake or bird. Where did you find this thing? Where is the child at this time?"
?”
Hearing this, the elephant snake bird immediately quacked at the two of them, then fluttered its wings and fluttered its feathers, stood up, and flew to the northwest of the village, where are the endless mountains. "Chief Leng, Xiang
Snake Bird must have discovered something." Guan Heng immediately said to Leng Peng at this time: "But it is not easy to say anything until the specific situation is determined, so we two should go and take a look first."
"It makes sense, then I'll trouble Brother Guan." Worried about his son's safety, Leng Peng was a little impatient at this time, and immediately chased the snake-like bird with Guan Heng. In this way, the two of them worked hard under the leadership of the colorful strange bird.
He ran out of Lintao Water Village and plunged into the dense forest behind.
"Swish, swish, swish--"
While running, Leng Peng, a strong man in the Crimson Realm, saw that Guan Heng's speed was not inferior to his own, but was slightly better than him. He couldn't help but admire him: "In the beginning, Dong Xiang said that Brother Guan sneaked into the river to fight against the monster leeches alone.
I just thought it was an exaggeration, but looking at his agility, it's not impossible, that's all, it's true that a hero comes from a young age."
At this time, Guan Heng suddenly shouted: "Stop, like a snake or a bird, it has stopped."
The two of them had now run out of the village for nearly two miles and arrived at a hidden mountain col. The snake-like bird folded its wings and folded its feathers and landed there. It scratched the ground with its paws and dug out a small multi-eared hemp shoe.
"This, this is what Jin'er is wearing too..."
At this time, Leng Peng stumbled over and grabbed the shoes on the ground. In an instant, he felt like the world was spinning and his eyes were dark. You must know that he was a middle-aged child, so he naturally loved him like the apple of his eye. He felt extremely distressed. Suddenly, Leng Peng felt sad in his heart.
An ominous thought came to mind, and I felt that something unexpected had happened to my son.
At this time, Guan Heng put his hand on Leng Peng's shoulders and whispered: "Clan Chief Leng, don't be too upset for now. I'll take a look." After saying that, Guan Heng looked around repeatedly, then raised his head and said to Leng Peng: "There is nothing on the shoes.
There are blood stains, but there are some drops of blood on the copper plate and the ground here, which have solidified..."
Seeing that Leng Peng was a little nervous at this time, Guan Heng immediately continued: "Don't worry, such a little blood stain can't be a serious injury to the child. I guess it's just a little bruise on the flesh."
"Huh...listening to what you said, it does make sense." At this moment, Leng Peng breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, no one wants to believe that their relatives are like this unless they have no choice or have not seen the facts.
Encountered an unexpected event.
Guan Heng analyzed again: "There are a lot of footprints left on the ground of the mountain col here, from humans and monsters. What we need to know now is whether the person who took Leng Jin away was a human or a monster. Chief, I'm sorry.
I would venture to ask, do you have any enemies? The kind you hate so much."
"An enemy you hate so much?!" Leng Peng scratched his head, then frowned and said: "No, let alone me, even the entire Lintao Water Village lives in this remote place with mountains and rivers, isolated from the rest of the world.
Fighting, how can there be any enemies?"
"Really?" After hearing what the other party said, Guan Heng suddenly remembered what happened just now. (To be continued.)
