Chapter 1132 Mountain God Punishment
1132
Ye Fan hurriedly asked: "Then do you know where their holy place is?"
Xiao Yu shook her head and said sorry, "I don't even have the qualifications to go to the Holy Spirit Church, how can I know where their holy place is."
"Really..." Ye Fan nodded regretfully, and asked, "What about your village, does anyone know?"
Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "My grandfather sometimes accompanied the village chief to pay tribute to the Holy Spirit's medicinal herbs. How about Mr. Ye, come back to the village with me and ask my grandfather?"
Ye Fan hesitated for a while, thinking about it for a while, feeling that it would be a waste of time to search so blindly, so he agreed.
Xiao Yu smiled sweetly, "Great, I can invite you to my house, thank you for saving me today, my grandpa will definitely be very happy."
After talking, the two walked towards Xijia Village.
On the way, Ye Fan asked casually, "Xiao Yu, how old are you this year?"
Xiao Yu turned back with a slight smile and said, "I just turned eighteen in the first half of the year."
"Oh...you look quite small, but you're really not that big," Ye Fan said.
"Eighteen years old is considered a big girl here. I have learned to gather herbs from my grandfather since I was eleven years old, but now there are fewer and fewer herbs, and they have to be found far away, so I can barely support my family.
In fact, I have long wanted to go out to the mountains to work and see the outside world, but my grandfather is old alone, and I am not at ease..." Xiao Yu said helplessly.
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, "You and grandpa are the only ones in your family? Where are your parents?"
There was a trace of sadness in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he said: "I was sold into the mountains, I don't know who my real parents are...
My adoptive mother ran away thirteen years ago. One year later, my adoptive father said he would go out to work, but he never came back...
In fact, everyone knows that they will not come back, so my grandfather and a few aunts in the village have always brought me up. "
Ye Fan could hear the girl's desolation that had been dried up after a long time of sadness.
At such a young age, she has experienced more ups and downs in life than ordinary girls.
Separated from her biological parents, abandoned by adoptive parents, and dependent on her grandfather since she was a child, it is not easy for a girl who collects medicine in this mountain to show that kind of bright and cheerful smile that infects others.
Originally, Ye Fan still had doubts about the identity of Xiaoyu from the Xi family. After all, the Holy Spirit Sect is haunted by ghosts, so it is hard to guarantee that they will set him some traps.
But now hearing the true emotion in Xiao Yu's words, most of Ye Fan's doubts dissipated.
This kind of feeling is not something you can have in a fake show...
While chatting, a small village appeared in front of me before I knew it.
There are about a dozen families, and the houses with bamboo and wood structures are scattered among the banana leaves.
There were no people in the village, and most of the young and middle-aged people had gone out to work. All the way in, Ye Fan saw a few grandma and old men with inconvenient legs and feet.
Walking to the door of a bamboo house, Xiao Yu said: "Mr. Ye, this is my house, please come in, it's relatively simple, I hope you don't dislike it."
Ye Fan smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I used to be an orphan, and I didn't even have a home when I was young, and I stayed in any poor place."
"Ah... Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be too..." Xiao Yu said guiltily.
"Hehe, there's nothing to be sorry about for a small matter," Ye Fan said.
At this time, an old voice came from the room, "Xiao Yu... who is outside?"
Ye Fan followed Xiao Yu into the house, and found an old man in gray and black old cloth, with white hair and a cataract in one eye, burning firewood behind a cooking stove.
"Grandpa, this is Mr. Ye. I met two poachers today. They wanted to bully me. Thanks to Mr. Ye, they saved me. He is our benefactor." Xiao Yu briefly explained the matter to the old man. .
Hearing this, the old man stood up tremblingly, and wanted to bow to Ye Fan, "Oh... thank you benefactor, my Xijia Rob, just such a dependent granddaughter, if something happens to her, I can't live anymore ..."
Ye Fan hurriedly helped Xi's Rob, and said: "Old man, don't be so polite, you should sit down."
"No, no...you are a guest, sit down, stay at our house for dinner tonight, although our family is poor, but our clansmen must definitely repay their kindness," Xijia Luobu said while grabbing Ye Fan's hand.
Ye Fan was not in the mood for eating, and said, "Old man, I actually came here with Xiao Yu to ask you, do you know where the Holy Spirit Sect's holy place is?"
Xijia Luobu was a little puzzled, "The benefactor is here to teach the Holy Spirit? What's the matter?"
Ye Fan nodded, "I'm in a hurry. I want to find the holy aunt or guardian, but I haven't found anyone from the Holy Spirit Cult. Xiao Yu said that they are holding the Gu God Ceremony, so I want to go directly to them."
After hearing this, Xijia Luobu said with some embarrassment: "Benefactor, I only know two strongholds of the Holy Spirit Cult, and I have gone to offer offerings with the village chief before.
But the Holy Land... I really don't understand it. It is a very mysterious place of the Holy Spirit Sect. Only important things will pass away. It has been like this since the time of the Gu God Sect. "
Ye Fan regretted for a while, but he didn't expect that there was still no clue, so he frowned and said, "That's disturbing the old man, I'll look for it again."
"Hey! Benefactor! Stop by!" Xijia Luobu hurriedly shouted: "Although I don't know, our village chief knows, because he once received the blessing of the holy lady in the Holy Land, you can ask him."
"Village head? Where is he?" Ye Fan asked hastily.
"The village chief and a few hunters in the village have gone hunting. They have been gone for six days. They will definitely come back tomorrow at the latest. Benefactor, you can have a simple meal at my house. After one night, you will definitely see the village chief tomorrow." Xijialuo Bu said.
"Tomorrow..." Ye Fan frowned, although he said that it was not easy for him to find the Holy Spirit Cult at night, most of those guys were in some underground caves.
But staying here for one night, he felt that it was a waste of time, and he was anxious after all.
Xiao Yu also hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Ye, you can stay. You saved me. If you don't even eat a meal, grandpa and I will be very sad."
Xijia Luobu begged: "Benefactor, please, if you don't give us a chance to repay your kindness, the mountain god will punish us..."
Seeing his grandfather and granddaughter begging him to keep him for dinner, Ye Fan couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, then I'll wait for dawn tomorrow," Ye Fan said.
He planned to look for it by himself when it was dawn, and if he couldn't find it, he would go back to the village and ask the village chief.
"Okay...thank you benefactor, Xiaoyu, quickly take out the bee pupae..." Xijia Rob said happily.
Bee chrysalis? When Ye Fan heard this, he couldn't help showing a stiff smile. Although it was high in protein, it was probably the only place to treat his benefactor with this dish.
