Before Yan Gang finished speaking, I felt the hand he was holding my hand tightening slightly.

Then, he slowly stood up and looked behind me. I also turned around and saw that Mr. Ma slowly walked down the slope and walked all the way to these people.

He was still dressed in short clothes, wearing straw sandals on his feet, and even his toes were exposed. Fortunately, the weather was clear today and all the mud was dried, so he was not as embarrassed as the mud that had been covered with legs before. But even so, standing in front of such a group of people wearing gorgeous clothes and riding tall horses, his appearance made people feel a little inappropriate.

I subconsciously frowned.

Mr. Ma seemed to have no idea that his clothes would be despised. He stood there calmly. Although he was hunched over, his expression was very natural. He bent his eyes and looked at Yan Gang with a smile.

When Yan Gang saw him, a moment of stiffness suddenly flashed across his face.

But he immediately laughed: "Old Ma."

"Mr. Fifth Master, it's been a long time since we met."

"Yes, we're really, long time no see."

His tone was still the same as when he was talking to me just now, both intimate and enthusiastic, and it was the tone of seeing his old friend. However, he didn't even understand how to move on his horse, and even straightened his back a little straightened, deliberately creating a condescending feeling: "Are you okay over the years?"

"Okay, OK, OK."

Mr. Ma said three "goods" in a row and said with a smile: "You can eat and sleep, there is no better life in the world than such."

"Haha, that's good."

Yan Gang laughed dryly. Although he was still trying his best to maintain his "Fifth Master" airs, his absent-minded conversation and flashing eyes clearly made him feel that he couldn't hold on. He didn't say anything more, and just beat the horse and walked over to the side of the old man Ma and entered the village.

I stood there, motionless.

Pei Yuanxiu passed by me and beat the horse.

My eyes were staring straight ahead, and I didn't look at him, and I think he probably didn't look at me either.

But when he passed by me, I felt his horse still restless, and he kept sniffing while walking, his steps were messy, as if he was about to break free at any time.

It was not until he completely walked past me that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, I knew he would not hurt me. After all, this place is still Gantang Village, and most of the people here are still mine. But that day, Butu led people to snipe all the way, and almost fell into the river. It was too terrifying and too deeply imprinted in my mind. It was not the closest time I had to die, but the time I faced it alone and was hurt the most.

I can't say I'm afraid of him, but I don't have the ability to completely defeat this man.

Just as I stood there, feeling the wind blowing through my back, a chilling feeling made me shivering slightly, I patted my shoulder with one hand. When I looked back, I saw that it was Mr. Ma’s wrinkled and smiling face. He looked at me and smiled and said, “Miss, what are you thinking?”

I hurriedly cheered up and looked back at the group of people. I was about to enter Gantang Village. I smiled and said, "Old man, why do I think my fifth uncle seems to be a little afraid of you?"

Hearing this, he immediately burst into laughter, looked back at the man's back, and said, "Of course he is afraid of me."

"Why?"

He reached out and patted my shoulder, grabbed my arm and walked back. I knew he was worried about the injury on my feet, so he came to support me and smiled gratefully, so he simply slapped his shoulder. He didn't seem to reject my closeness, and said with a smile: "You know I was following your great-grandfather at the beginning."

"Um."

"Your great-grandfather has five sons and one daughter in total. This youngest son is an old man, of course he is the most favored, and he is also the most arrogant and domineering."

"Yeah?"

"I have done a lot with your great grandfather, and he trusts him. Your fifth uncle can't stand it and will come and compete with me."

"he?"

Seeing me being a little surprised, Mr. Ma said seriously: "This, don't look down on your fifth uncle. His martial arts are not bad. He was in battle as a teenager, and he was also fighting one by one. He was a contribution to Xichuan being able to defend it at the time."

“…”

I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that Yan Gang would have such a past. If it weren't for Mr. Ma's words, I really wouldn't know.

I continued, "He won the competition with you, did he lose?"

Mr. Ma laughed and said, "Of course I lost. I have a unique skill - to seize the spear. He heard that, and he was going to try me. He had taken the spear head away because he was afraid of hurting me, so I told him not to use it. Then, we met."

I couldn't help but become nervous. I must know that even if I don't know how to do it, I know that when I go to the battlefield, I will definitely sweep the army. It is difficult for ordinary people to use spears, and as an enemy, it is even more difficult to avoid them. If you want to seize the spear from people, it is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Mr. Ma said, "Old man, I will win three battles and three victories."

“…”

"Not only that, in the last game, I snatched his spear and broke him, and injured his horse. He fell from the horse's back, his ribs were broken, and he kept them for several months. Since then, he has been afraid of me, and although he doesn't say it, everyone knows it."

I was stunned.

After a while, I smiled and said, "Old man, then I'm here to find you this time, I'm really looking for the right person."

He laughed twice and said, "But we are all old and we don't have to do anything. He is not afraid of me anymore. Miss, if you want to accomplish something, you have to plan things first."

This is really very true.

I smiled and nodded, then held his arm and the two of them entered the village together.

This quiet small village in Gantang Village suddenly became lively.

Suddenly, so many people came. Although Mr. Ma and Aunt Hong were prepared for a long time, they still caused a lot of waves. Many people in the village came out to watch, especially those children, who had never seen so many strangers since they were born, and even broke the corners of the wall.

They lived in the largest house in the middle of the village.

The house should have been built where the ancestral hall was built, and this Gantang Village was built. Therefore, it is located in the center of the entire Gantang Village. All other houses spread in all directions with this house as the center. In the past two days, I probably walked through all the alleys in this village, so I also had a general understanding of the terrain of the village.

This house is in the center of Gantang Village, and the Yan Family Ancestral Hall is located directly north of the house. The small courtyard I lived in before is located in the northeast corner of the village, and the distance to both sides is about the same.

The check-in was almost a whole day, and everything was settled until the evening.

I returned to Aunt Hong's yard. As soon as I sat down, I wanted to take apart the bandage on my ankle and see if the wound was cracked, someone informed me that Yan Ruoyu and others came.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was indeed her, and she was still holding the embroidered cloth bag in her hand, standing gracefully at the door, and behind her were Su Su and Wuwei Monk.

When Yan Ruoyu saw me, he immediately smiled and said, "Cousin."

"Suit foolish."

I nodded, and before I could say anything, Su Su had already rushed over from her and hugged me: "Miss, are you okay, Miss? I heard from Aunt Hong say you were injured? Where? Does it hurt?"

The fearless monk also walked in and grabbed me and asked questions. Although I felt a little pain in my ankle, in order not to worry, I could only grit my teeth and smile, saying that I had just had a little skin trauma on my face and body, and it would be fine if I applied medicine.

Even so, Susu still felt so distressed that her eyes were red.

The fearless monk was even more furious, and even blamed me: "Miss, what do you mean by saying you? I had agreed to let the Sa family protect you, but what about you? You actually ran away secretly. If you really hurt there, how would you let the Sa family meet your wife in the future?!"

I was scolded so timidly that I coaxed them for a long time before I finally coaxed them.

After talking, I realized that on the day I left, Xue Qian really barely got up until noon. Their spirit was also very depressed. They kept helping me hide it from her, and she had no energy to pay attention. Until Pei Yuanxiu and Yan Gang returned to the Yan family together, I did not go out to greet me. Yan Ruoyu even lied for me and said that I was not feeling well, and not many people noticed it.

The fearless monk said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that the eldest lady of Pei Yuanxiu was no longer in the Yan family, the old witch broke into the eldest lady's room directly, and she could have been hiding it for a while!"

“…”

When I heard him say this, I just smiled faintly.

From those things before, I already understood that I was at a disadvantage in front of Pei Yuanxiu. He could even ask Butu and the others to come here to intercept me in advance, which proves that he could guess my behavior. It is not surprising.

But next, we have to spend some time.

The two of them, as well as the guards under me, came with Yan Ruoyu's people. After Yan Ruoyu brought them to my room, he said goodbye. Before leaving, she smiled and said to me: "Cousin, go to bed early. There may be a tough battle tomorrow."

I thanked her and said, "Thank you for your reminder."

I closed the door until she left and looked back at Susu and Wuwei Monk. Susu was still worried that I was injured, but I didn't care about these things at all. She just grabbed her and asked, "Susu, have you informed me before I left?"

"The notice has arrived."

"Where are people?"
