351 Mass Producing Disabled People
After the village chief spoke, the tense atmosphere instantly beca relaxed.
The group of old n and won looked at each other and finally laughed loudly.
“Village chief, how many tis have you affixed your legs the wrong way around?”
“When Stutter still had hair, the village chief already affixed them wrongly!”
“Hey, stop talking about that. At least show the village chief so respect! There are outsiders here. Don’t let them know that the village chief will also wear his pants backward…”
The village chief: “…”
Feng Xia twitched his lips. Did he unintentionally… find out so big secret?
Then again, this big secret was really boring.
“Hehe, are you a little frightened?”
The old woman with the walking stick ca over from behind and sized Feng Xia up a few tis. Then, she chuckled and said, “However, old people are like this. Otherwise, after staying here for so many years without seeing any daylight or living beings, we would have gone crazy long ago.”
“Seniors, do you usually do…”
Looking at the group of elderly people joking around, Feng Xia pondered for a long ti before he finally found two words to describe his current mood.
“Just this?”
Just this?
Do you guys just stand guard here and pass the ti by counting the number of hairs on your legs?
“Naturally just this, of course.”
The old woman twitched the corners of her lips forcefully. She seed to be half-smiling and half-crying. After a long ti, she seed to be unable to find the right emotions. She could only sigh and say, “After all, we are old and only have these sets of old bones left.”
“Then don’t you know how to play mahjong?” Feng Xia could not help but ask.
“Mahjong?”
When they heard this word, all the old n and won present showed blank expressions. “Mahjong? What’s mahjong? Does it hurt your teeth when you eat it?”
“How about this, seniors?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xia knew what to do.
He paused for a mont and smiled mysteriously. “Why don’t I teach you sothing fun…”
“Kid, don’t try to play any tricks. We won’t get fooled!”
The old woman glared at Feng Xia and poked the ground with her walking stick before exhorting fiercely.
Half a day later.
“Ah—”
“This one doesn’t count!”
“Co, co, co. If you’re willing to bet, you have to admit defeat. If you’re willing to bet, you have to admit defeat!”
The old village chief waved his hands and laughed loudly, his face full of pride. “Look at how smug you were just now. Old woman, Stutter, Mindless, what did you bet just now? Be good and give it to …”
The old woman’s face darkened. After a mont of silence, she suddenly spoke.
“Don’t co back tonight. Go and keep watch outside the village!”
“No problem, no problem. Everything is negotiable. As long as you take out the things…”
The village chief was all smiles, as if he did not care at all.
Seeing this, the old woman’s face darkened even more. She said slowly, “A man’s mouth only tells lies. It changes the words without warning. As expected, none of you are any good!”
Stutter and Mindless at the side expressed that they were innocent parties.
At the sa ti, Feng Xia had already quietly brought Zhu Youniang and Qing Lin around the village a few tis. He more or less had an understanding of this mysterious oasis located in the dark wasteland.
In the end, he ca to a rather shocking conclusion.
This entire village might very well be a large-scale divine artifact!
Every blade of grass, tree, brick and tile here seed to be in tatters at first glance, but in reality, there was a strange Dao rhythm flowing in them, vaguely connecting everything into one.
Whether in terms of power or integrity, it was far superior to Patriarch Muchen’s true form. If it could unleash all its power, that would definitely be an earth-shattering and terrifying power.
Of course, Feng Xia also understood that this was almost impossible.
He already sensed that this terrifying divine artifact had long fused with the ground. Its power was contained but not released so as to resist the invasion of the strange outside world.
If it erupted with all its strength, that would definitely be an extrely terrifying scene. However, it would also an that the village had completely given up on defense.
If this village could not succeed in its attack in one try, then it would definitely be on the receiving end of a strange full-scale counterattack.
More importantly, most of the power in this village was concentrated deep in the ground, as if it was fighting against an extrely terrifying enemy in an invisible place.
Feng Xia more or less knew who the enemy was.
“There’s still one more thing…”
He slowly turned around and looked at the group of elderly people who were addicted to mahjong and a question mark appeared behind his head.
Where did these people co from?
A large group of mahjong-loving disabled people… Could they really guard this place?
“They shouldn’t be from Lingyun Kingdom. At the very least, they’re not from Lingyun imperial capital. Otherwise, I should have so impression of them…”
“Can they be from the even more ancient Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom? Most likely not. Otherwise, they should be able to recognize Patriarch Muchen.”
Feng Xia shook his head slightly. In fact, he had already co up with a few more guesses.
...
However, if he took the initiative to ask others for confirmation when he still did not know who the enemy was, it might bring about unknown danger. He might reveal his own background and even put himself in a passive situation.
“I have to think of a way to find out the identities of these people…” Feng Xia’s eyes darted around.
“We have to think of a way to find out this kid’s identity!”
At the sa ti, the group of old n and won playing mahjong exchanged glances and quickly ca up with a rough plan.
Feng Xia and the others ca from unknown origins. It was obviously not a good idea to keep them in the village.
They should either chase them out or make them confirm their identities.
“This matter…”
The old woman darted her eyes and finally looked at the village chief. “Damn old man, since you’ve won so many good things, I’ll leave this difficult mission to you!”
“Of course, of course…” The village chief counted his gains with a smile.
“Tonight, think of a way to trick this kid out of the village and find out his identity and background. If there’s no problem, give him so benefits and bring him back to the village safely.”
“Alright, alright… Wait!”
...
As the village chief spoke, his expression suddenly changed. “This kid is very cunning. If we give him benefits, who will pay for this benefit?”
Stares.
In an instant, everyone’s gaze fell on the village chief.
“Oh oh my…”
The old woman suddenly fell to the ground with a plop and let out a heart-wrenching cry, “I’ve already given you my coffin money. If you still want more from , I only have my old bones left. I don’t have money, I only have my life—”
