After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 172 I feel that you are more honest!
"Chen Yang!"

Carrying a Mo Dao, he had not gone far when Huang Can caught up with him.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

Huang Can was three meters away from Chen Yang, afraid of being hit by the big knife on his shoulder.

"what?"

Chen Yang looked at him warily. Are there more plums to be picked?

He was exhausted this afternoon.

The skin was peeling due to the sun.

Huang Can said, "Didn't I tell you that I want to go to Centipede Ridge to broadcast live and catch some centipedes to sell. If you are free, do you want to come with me?"

Chen Yang was embarrassed.

There is still a chicken-feather centipede in Centipede Ridge, and it is almost wiped out by him.

He shook his head, looking at Huang Can's expectant expression, but couldn't bear to hit him, "Do you believe me?"

"Ok?"

Huang Can looked at him in surprise.

Chen Yang said, "If you believe me, don't go. I passed by there yesterday, and there were no centipedes in Centipede Ridge. Moreover, that place is deep in the mountains and very dangerous. Remember the Polygonum multiflorum I told you about? I encountered it in Centipede Ridge..."

Both coaxing and scaring.

After Huang Can heard this, a hint of fear flashed across his face.

Chen Yang had told him about the Polygonum multiflorum plant, and to go to Centipede Ridge, one had to pass through the Old Ghost Forest. To be honest, if Chen Yang didn't go, Huang Can would be really scared to go alone.

"Also, there's no signal in that place."

This last sentence made Huang Can completely give up.

There is no signal, so what's the point of going?

"Forget it, I'll just continue filming the Second Master repairing the Toad Temple."

Huang Can smiled bitterly.

In the past two days, Mr. Song's family has started to build a temple for the tourmaline toad near the pond.

The day before yesterday, Huang Can tried live streaming and edited some videos. He was full of expectations, but the actual effect was not as good as he had imagined.

However, a video of the snake cave battle shot by Chen Yang was uploaded at noon today, and the click rate has obviously increased a lot.

But unfortunately, it was blocked by the platform after being reported for its horrific and disturbing content.

That's why he thought of going into the mountains to look for materials.

……

-

At night, the moonlight is as cool as water.

There are lights on in the bamboo forest behind the old house.

Chen Yang stood tall with a Mo Dao in his hand, like a god of war.

In front of him, on a large bluestone millstone, lay a rusty safe.

Before entering the mountain, Chen Yang used a cutting machine to polish it from time to time.

A small hole has been cut in the safe, but it will probably take a lot of effort to cut it open completely.

I don't have the patience anymore.

The cutting machine makes a loud noise when it's grinding, so the neighbors can't help but be suspicious.

So, violent dismantling.

He raised the Mo Dao, swung it in a circle, and chopped directly at the safe.

"Boom!"

Fire immediately came out of the safe, and under the heavy blow, the box weighing more than 100 pounds bounced up.

Chen Yang's hands were numb from the shock and his Mo Dao almost slipped out of his hands.

A thud.

The safe landed on the grass nearby.

Chen Yang stuck the Mo Dao on the ground and walked over.

Violence is the only way to do it.

Under the heavy blow, the safe was somewhat deformed, a groove was cut out on the surface, the sturdy combination lock was directly broken, and the door of the box actually opened.

Chen Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed and carried him onto the bluestone slab.

I opened the door and looked inside with great anticipation.

The next second, his expression froze.

Inside, there was still a box.

He took out the thing, a cube-shaped metal box about twenty centimeters long, wide and high.

It weighs about twenty pounds.

The material should be similar to that of a safe.

Chen Yang took the box in his hands and looked through it carefully.

The surface of the box is smooth and dull in color, but there is no sign of rust.

Most importantly, there is no lid, no door, and no lock.

It is so natural that there is not a single crack visible. It looks more like a lump of iron.

Chen Yang shook it and there was a sound inside, obviously it was hollow.

"Mad, is it necessary to be so safe?"

Chen Yang was somewhat speechless. He put the box back on the bluestone slab and prepared to continue violently dismantling it.

"Wang..."

Just then, the roar of the black tiger was heard from the front yard.

somebody is coming?

Chen Yang frowned slightly. The black tiger would not bark for no reason. Most likely someone was coming.

It's already twelve o'clock in the evening, who will come?

Chen Yang quickly put the box, the safe and the Mo Dao into the system warehouse, clapped his hands and left the bamboo forest.

……

-

forecourt.

"Wang..."

When Chen Yang came to the front yard, he saw a figure squatting on the wall and a black tiger roaring at the wall.

In the moonlight, you can see that it is a man with a strong build.

"Who?"

Chen Yang shouted.

If a person doesn't go through the main gate but climbs over the wall, he is either a thief or a robber.

"It is indeed the Dog King."

The man was riding on the wall and was discovered, but he did not try to escape. Instead, he talked to Chen Yang, "Young man, is this dog yours?

Chen Yang turned on the lights in the yard, and under the light, he could see the other person's face clearly.

The man was in his forties, with a neat crew cut, a standard square face, and a conspicuous scar at the left corner of his eye.

Stranger, definitely not from the village.

"If you don't tell me your name, I'll think you're a thief!" Chen Yang said in a cold voice.

"Hey."

The man laughed and said, "Little brother, I have no ill intentions..."

Chen Yang interrupted him, "I don't have much patience. Tell me, who are you?"

The man's smile froze, and then he said, "Your name is Chen Yang, right? My name is Liu Henghu. I heard Chen Guoliang and his wife talk about you. They said that you are young but have a hot temper. You may have some kind of super male syndrome. I didn't really believe it at first..."

You have super male syndrome.

What did this Chen Guoliang plot against me behind my back?
Chen Yang's eyes changed when he looked at that person.

"Are you the helper that Chen Guoliang invited?"

Huang Can said that at noon today, Chen Guoliang and his wife brought someone back.

It seems that this is the person in front of me?

Chen Yang sneered in his heart.

You two old guys, I haven't even had time to look for you yet, but you're looking for me first?

"You can say yes, and you can say no." The man nodded, but denied it flatly, "I heard that a dog king appeared in Jiapiqiao, so I followed them to take a look..."

His eyes fell on Hei Hu, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

"Heard? From whom?"

"My junior fellow apprentice, Wang Yinsuo."

"Wang Yinsuo?"

There was a flash of surprise in Chen Yang's eyes. As far as he could remember, he had never heard of this name before.

"Don't you remember? He was bitten badly by your dog."

"The man who stole my car with Chen Guangjun?"

Chen Yang suddenly realized, and then sneered, "So it turns out that you are a family of snakes and rats. So, are you going to take revenge, or steal the dog, or both?"

"Little brother, don't say such harsh words."

The man said, "My junior fellow apprentice is indeed a bit bad by nature. It's also my master's fault that he died early. I was busy making a living and didn't discipline him, so he went astray. He's not very smart and is easily taken advantage of. It was wrong for him to steal the car. I apologize to you, but you did hit him too hard..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang sneered, "You said that as if you are a good person?"

"I may not be a good person, but I think I am upright and honest, and I do things in an open and aboveboard manner..."

"You climbed over my wall in the middle of the night. Is this what you call aboveboard?"

"This……"

The man paused after hearing this, as if he had lost some confidence. "Your dog is too fierce. I have nowhere to hide. I can only climb the wall!"

Then, he straightened his chest and said, "We, the Caravan, have always acted uprightly. Right is right and wrong is wrong. My junior brother did something wrong and was punished. Naturally, I have nothing to say..."

"and many more!"

Chen Yang looked at him in surprise, "What did you say? Horse caravan?"

But is that the caravan that Chen Jingyun mentioned?
Ma Bang, Chen Jingyun, Chen Guoliang?

Chen Yang seemed to understand something.

"What? Have you heard of our caravan?" the man was a little surprised.

“I’ve heard a little bit about it!”

Chen Yang didn't say much. What he knew about the caravan was limited to the description in the letter.

A group of horse racers walking among the mountains.

Strictly speaking, they are not a gang organization, but a group of poor people who gather together because of their profession and keep each other warm.

"Hey!"

The man smiled and said, "I never thought that in 2024, there are still young people who know about our caravan!"

I don't know if he was joking or expressing emotion.

"Do you have any connection with Chen Guoliang's family?" Chen Yang asked knowingly.

"That's it!"

The man nodded, "His father, Chen Jingyun, had some friendship with my master when he was alive!"

Chen Yang looked as if he had realized something. "So, in the final analysis, you are helping him to cause trouble for me?"

The man frowned, "If you insist on understanding it this way, it's not impossible. I have a problem. I like to stand up for the weak. Even if their son is wrong, the two elders didn't provoke you. I heard from them that you hate the whole family and beat them up without knowing right or wrong..."

"stop!"

Chen Yang couldn't bear to listen any more, so he quickly stopped her, "I don't know how they told you, and I'm not interested in explaining anything to you. Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

"How about you tie up your dog first?"

The man looked down at the black tiger, seeming to be a little afraid of the dog king.

"Black Tiger."

Chen Yang shouted.

Black Tiger growled at the man, then turned around and swaggered back to the firewood pile.

At this time, the man jumped down from the wall.

He clasped his fists towards Chen Yang and said loudly, "Meet Liu Henghu of the horse gang. Brothers, please give me some face. I am now the head of the Shunan horse gang."

Chen Yang's face twitched.

This kind of underworld etiquette made him a little uncomfortable.

What is a pot head?
Gang leader?
Liu Henghu grinned and said, "It's a bit abrupt to come to your house in the middle of the night. I wanted to come tomorrow, but something urgent happened in my gang and I had to leave in a hurry, so I came to your house late at night..."

Chen Yang raised his hand to interrupt, "Speak to the point."

Liu Henghu smiled awkwardly, "Two things. The first one is that I want to mediate the conflict between you and Chen Guoliang. After all, Chen Guoliang's father has some connection with our caravan. He invited me here this time with the intention of letting me teach you a lesson, but I always believe that violence cannot solve the problem..."

"hehe!"

Chen Yang suddenly laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Henghu looked at Chen Yang blankly.

Chen Yang stopped laughing, "You just said that your junior brother is stupid and can be easily taken advantage of. I think you, as his senior brother, are not that smart either."

"Uh……"

Liu Henghu paused. Is this kid scolding him?

Feeling a little angry for no reason?

"You mean, I was used as a pawn by the couple?"

"if not?"

"How is that possible? Those old couple look like honest people."

"Hahaha……"

When Chen Yang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "I feel like you're more honest."

Liu Henghu frowned, his solid square face turning blue and purple. He could tell that Chen Yang was implying something.

He took a deep breath and said, "I will not judge who is right or wrong. Anyway, their family has a connection with our caravan. Can you give me some face, little brother..."

"first……"

Chen Yang interrupted him directly, "Who their family is related to has nothing to do with me. Secondly, I don't know you. If I don't give you this face, what do you want to do? Teach me a lesson?"

"you……"

Liu Henghu was speechless and took a deep breath. "We have our own rules. One of them is that we cannot bully the weak. To me, you are weak, so of course I will not attack you. But to you, the old couple are also weak. If you bully them, I will attack you. That is helping the weak and suppressing the strong..."

Chen Yang opened his mouth slightly.

It turns out that this wooden guy is not stupid. Not only is he not stupid, he is also a nerd with weird logic?

"What should we do? How about a fight?"

Chen Yang spread his hands helplessly.

After learning that this man was from the caravan, he wanted to test his background.

Liu Henghu's expression froze for a moment.

Obviously he didn't expect Chen Yang to provoke him.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Okay, since you said so, I'm happy to accompany you. However, let me make it clear in advance that if I win, you can't cause trouble for the Chen Guoliang couple again..."

"What if you lose?"

"lose?"

Liu Henghu was stunned. He obviously had not thought that he would lose.

How could he, the head of a horse caravan, lose to a young cucumber?
"If I lose, I will no longer care about their family's affairs and will leave Jiapiqiao immediately. How about that?" Liu Henghu said.

"It doesn't seem like it's any loss to you."

Chen Yang shook his head, not satisfied. "Well, if you lose, I won't ask for much. You owe me a favor. If I need your caravan in the future, you can't refuse."

Liu Henghu paused for a moment.

"Why, you don't dare to answer it?" Chen Yang said.

"Why don't you dare?"

Liu Henghu puffed out his chest. How could he be afraid of a little kid?
A smile appeared on Chen Yang's lips.

Sure enough, when dealing with stubborn people, provocation is the most effective method.

Chen Yang took a few steps back and put some distance between himself and Liu Henghu.

"Ah."

Liu Henghu couldn't help but laugh and looked at Chen Yang with a bit of joking.

I have to say, this guy is really brave.

He stood in the yard, with one hand behind his back, his chest puffed out like an iron tower, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly at Chen Yang, "Come on, don't say I'm bullying you. I'll stand here and let you use one hand. If you can make me move a step, I lose..."
