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

Chapter 366: Enemies meet on a narrow road, and I meet Duan Qiuping!
Lingjiang County.

On a rare weekend, Chen Yang took Huang Ying to stroll around the county town. In the center of the old town, there was a pedestrian food street at Heping Bridge with countless snack stalls.

For Sichuan snacks, look to Luoshan, and for Luoshan snacks, look to Lingjiang. The snacks in Lingjiang do have their own unique flavor.

The two watched a movie in the cinema, and came out of the food street. It was almost noon, and they were too lazy to go out to eat, so they just strolled around the food street, eating at one restaurant after another.

Tofu brain, yerba, kabing, sanhe mud, cold skewers...

Chen Yang grew up in the provincial capital. Although he has eaten some snacks from his hometown, none of them are as complete as those in the food street.

Many of these things are also available in the provincial capital, but to be honest, the taste is far inferior to that here.

Huang Ying has been teaching here for more than a year, but she seldom comes to the county town. So, like Chen Yang, she finds many foods new to her.

“Winter vacation is coming soon!”

Huang Ying held a box of skewers in her hand, and she and Chen Yang took turns eating. "I can't stay with you for long during the winter vacation. I have to go home to spend the New Year with my parents. So, do you want to go back to the provincial capital with me?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment.

Yes, in a blink of an eye, the winter vacation is coming, and once the winter vacation comes, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner!

I have to sigh, time flies so fast.

Chen Yang said, "I will definitely go back for the New Year, but it may be a little later..."

Of course, celebrating the New Year should be done with family, that’s what it means to celebrate the New Year!

He hasn't been back to the provincial capital for a long time.

I have experienced so much during this period of time.

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Then we'll go together!"

Chen Yang nodded. "By the way, when the time comes, should I prepare some gifts and visit your house?"

Huang Ying blushed when she heard this, "Look at you, if you want to go, I can't stop you!"

Be timid!

Chen Yang was so happy, "Do you want me to go?"

"do not know!"

Huang Ying shyly took a few quick steps forward.

Chen Yang was even happier and chased after him, "By the way, are your parents fierce? If I go there and fail to show proper etiquette, will I be kicked out?"

Huang Ying said, "My parents are both teachers, and they are very nice people. I was able to come to Lingjiang to teach because of their influence, especially my mother. I originally had several choices. On the one hand, Yanan was in Lingjiang and suggested that I come here. On the other hand, my mother also supported me to come to Jiapigou, so that's how I met you..."

"Then I really have to thank my mother!"

"What is this, scoundrel!"

Huang Ying blushed and started laughing with Chen Yang.

White flakes were scattered in the sky, floating down on the tips of hair and eyebrows.

A hint of coolness!

"Oh, it's snowing!"

I don’t know who shouted.

The two stopped and looked up. The cold wind was blowing snowflakes slowly down.

Huang Ying reached out and held a flower in her hand, and the snow petals quickly melted.

The snow is not heavy, but it is the first snow in 2024.

It came a little earlier than in previous years.

I can’t remember how long it has been since I last saw snow!
"Xiaoying!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

Chen Yang looked back and saw a fat girl walking out of a snack bar on the street.

"Why is it her?"

When he saw this girl, Chen Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat and his face changed slightly.

Wang Pandi?
Chen Yang never expected that the two of them would meet in this way.

"Pandi?"

Huang Ying was also stunned. She didn't expect to meet Wang Pandi here.

After all, the two had a very unpleasant quarrel before. Although Wang Pandi apologized to her later, some estrangements, once created, are not so easy to erase.

What's more, Chen Yang had reminded her that Wang Pandi was on the wanted list of the Mountain Hunting Association and was an extremely dangerous person.

How dare she appear on Lingjiang Street so openly?
"What a coincidence, Xiaoying, meeting you!"

Wang Pandi had a smile on her face and she came up and held Huang Ying's hand, as if they were really good friends meeting each other.

"You, why are you here?"

Huang Ying subconsciously pulled her hand away, but failed.

Wang Pandi said, "I am traveling with my great-grandmother, and we just arrived in Lingjiang today!"

"Grandma?"

Chen Yang's heart tightened. No way, could it be such a coincidence?
Duan Qiuping came to Lingjiang? How unlucky that I ran into her?
He looked towards the snack bar that Wang Pandi had just come out of, as if a ferocious monster was lurking inside.

Wang Pandi looked at Chen Yang and said, "Xiaoying, is this your boyfriend?"

Huang Ying nodded.

"Cough cough!"

Chen Yang coughed twice and deliberately made his voice hoarse, "Hello, my name is Chen Yang, and I'm Xiaoying's boyfriend!"

Ok?
Huang Ying was a little surprised. She was fine just now, why did her voice suddenly become hoarse?
"My name is Wang Pandi, Xiaoying's classmate and best friend!"

Wang Pandi also introduced herself, but in fact she didn't recognize Chen Yang.

Although the two had met and fought more than once, it was always at night, and Wang Panddi had never seen what Chen Yang looked like.

Especially that time at the Snake King Temple, only Chen Yang's voice was heard.

At this time, Chen Yang deliberately changed his voice. Although she felt it was a bit strange, she didn't think much about it.

She didn't even realize that it was the man in front of her who almost took her life several times.

"I have a cold, sorry!"

As Chen Yang spoke, he coughed twice again.

Wang Pandi frowned slightly.

She subconsciously held her breath, as if she was afraid of being infected by Chen Yang.

"Pandi, we still..."

Huang Ying didn't want to have too much contact with Wang Pandi now, so she immediately wanted to find an excuse to leave.

At this time, a woman came out from the snack bar next door, "Pandi, settle the bill and let's go!"

Wang Pandi was immediately nervous, "Yes, Grandma!"

He didn't bother to be polite with Huang Ying and hurried to pay the bill.

Is this person Duan Qiuping?
Chen Yang glanced at it casually and didn't dare to look closely.

This woman looks to be no more than fifty years old, and she still has some charm. How can she look like an eighty or ninety-year-old, frail old woman?

It is said that after entering the realm of creation, one will be reborn and one's life span will be greatly extended. It seems to be true.

Chen Yang didn't dare to look at her for too long, for fear that she would notice something and arouse her suspicion.

But my heart was not at peace.

He had simulated this scenario many times in his mind, but he had never expected to meet this woman in this way.

As soon as Wang Pandi left, Huang Ying took Chen Yang and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

However, at this moment, the middle-aged woman stopped them.

The sound is not loud, but the power is great.

It was like an order, the kind that could not be refuted.

Both of them stopped almost instinctively.

The middle-aged woman walked towards them slowly, about one or two meters away, and just looked at Chen Yang.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

Chen Yang looked at the woman with confusion.

Although this woman looks relatively young, her deep and restrained eyes are full of the vicissitudes of life, giving people a feeling that she can see through everything.

The word "Auntie" brought the middle-aged woman who was looking at Chen Yang back to reality.

She smiled. Perhaps she hadn't heard such a name for a long time.

The middle-aged woman asked, "Young man, what's your name? Where are you from? I feel like you look familiar, like an old friend of mine!"

Chen Yang said, "My name is Chen Yang, from Pingqiang Town. Auntie, we should have never met before, right?"

"Pingqiang Town?"

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and said, "There is a Heping Commune in Pingqiang Town..."

Chen Yang said, "Yes, it's our commune. I'm from Heping Commune, Jiapigou Village!"

The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows slightly, "Who is Chen Jingzhi to you?"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, "Auntie, do you know my grandfather?"

"Ha!" The middle-aged woman laughed, "So, you are his grandson. No wonder you look so familiar!"

"Auntie, who are you?"

Chen Yang looked at her with confusion.

The middle-aged woman smiled slightly, "Your name is Chen Yang, right? Even your grandfather has to call me aunt, but you can't call me auntie..."

"Ok?"

Chen Yang looked at her strangely.

The middle-aged woman said, "Your grandfather may not have told you that my last name is Duan. I used to be married in Jiapigou, so I can be considered a Jiapigou person. So, you should call me great aunt!"

It is said that relationships are sorted out. If you sort them out, won’t you have relatives?

Great aunt?
Chen Yang looked at her with some disbelief, "You look so young..."

"Haha, my husband's family ranks higher in the clan. There's nothing I can do about it. I'm always the elders wherever I go!" The middle-aged woman gave him a reasonable explanation.

"I met your grandfather in the provincial capital a few days ago. He mentioned you to me. I didn't expect to meet you here!"

The middle-aged woman looked Chen Yang up and down, her eyes seemed to see through him.

Chen Yang felt uncomfortable when she looked at him. He scratched his head and said, "Well, I've never heard my grandfather say that..."

How could he call her "great aunt"? "Old man, where are you from in the village? Maybe I know you..."

Calling him an elder is not a loss.

The woman shook her head when she heard this. "It's been many years. I'm afraid the person is long gone..."

Chen Yang was just about to say something when Wang Pandi came over after paying the bill.

"Goodbye, young man!"

The woman didn't say anything else and left with Wang Pandi.

Chen Yang stood there for a long time.

"call!"

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the two men disappeared at the street corner and out of his sight.

I felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. It was a very cold day and I was covered in sweat.

"what happened?"

Huang Ying noticed that his expression was not right and asked quickly.

Looking at Chen Yang's expression, he was obviously frightened.

Were you scared by that middle-aged woman just now?
Chen Yang waved his hand, and his expression quickly returned to normal, "It's okay, I'll talk about it when I get back!"

After saying that, he continued to stroll around the food street with Huang Ying as usual.

……

The snow is still falling, and it seems to be getting heavier.

Several children were chasing each other in the cold wind, and their laughter echoed around the street corners.

"Grandma, are we going to Pingqiang Town now?"

On the street, Wang Pandi took out her cell phone and prepared to call a taxi.

"No need!"

Duan Qiuping withdrew her gaze from the children and said, "Let's not go to Pingqiang Town. Let's go to Ya City!"

"Going to Ya City?"

Wang Pandi was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Grandma, didn't you say that we should go to Pingqiang Town first to meet him..."

"Already seen it!"

Duan Qiuping said lightly, she raised her head and looked at the flying snow in the sky with deep eyes.

Wang Pandi paused for a moment, then reacted, "Is it that person just now?"

She was really slow to realize things. Wasn’t the young man just now called Chen Yang?

Duan Qiuping nodded slightly.

Wang Pandi's face changed slightly. "I didn't feel any abnormal blood fluctuations from him. He seems to be just an ordinary person..."

"Ok!"

Duan Qiuping nodded.

She expressed helplessness, as things seemed to be different from what she had expected.

It seemed that the Chen family really kept their promise. None of their descendants had set foot on the Panshan Road. He also did not sense any trace of cultivation from Chen Yang.

Before this, various signs indicated that what had happened to the Ding family in the past six months was most likely related to Ling Jiang. Many things had traces that probably pointed to Daqishan.

Thinking of Daqishan, she naturally thought of the Chen family, so the Chen family naturally became her primary suspect.

However, she asked someone to check and found that among Chen Tongsheng's children, only Chen Jingzhi was still alive.

She had met him, and even met Chen Jingzhi's son, and they were all just ordinary people who couldn't be more ordinary.

The only person she suspected was Chen Jingzhi's grandson.

Because in terms of time, the time when the Ding family got into trouble was exactly the time when Chen Yang returned to his hometown.

It had been half a year since Chen Yang returned to Jiapigou, and the Ding family had also encountered a series of accidents during this period of time.

How could such a coincidence happen?

However, she had just met Chen Yang, and she did not sense any trace of cultivation from Chen Yang. Even his energy and blood were the same as those of ordinary people.

This is an ordinary person.

How could an ordinary person cause such a big commotion?

All previous assumptions are no longer valid in the face of such a reality!
So, is there any point in going to Jiapigou now?
She wanted to go to Ya City and visit Bamashan.

Her two apprentices, plus Ding Liancheng from the Ding family, all disappeared in Bamianshan. She had to go there in person to find out whether these people were alive or dead.

Wang Pandi asked, "Could there be other people in the Chen family?"

other people?
Duan Qiuping took a deep breath and shook her head gently, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Wang Pandi didn't dare to ask any more questions.

……

-

In the afternoon, Jiapigou.

After sending Huang Ying back to school, Chen Yang returned to the old house.

The first thing Chen Yang did was to call Hu Kai to inquire about the situation.

Duan Qiuping came to Lingjiang without even notifying me, and I almost got caught in the crossfire.

On the phone, Hu Kai also expressed helplessness, as they had just received the news.

Moreover, when the news came, Duan Qiuping had already left Lingjiang, and her next stop seemed to be Ya City.

"gone?"

Chen Yang was a little surprised when he heard this, "Are you sure you're leaving?"

"She's confirmed to have left. She left Gong City early this morning and came directly to Lingjiang. We didn't react at all. After all, the Ding family and the Chen family from Hong Kong Island are still in conflict. She should be supporting the Ding family in Tianchi Mountain right now. No one expected that she would suddenly leave..."

Hu Kai said, "It seems that her coming to Lingjiang is just a feint. Her real purpose is probably to go to Bamianshan!"

"Well, please keep an eye on her movements, Brother Kai. If there is any unusual movement, please inform me in time!"

Chen Yang did not dare to take it lightly. What if Duan Qiuping's trip to Ya City was just a feint and she turned around and headed for Lingjiang? It was possible that she would go directly to Jiapiqiao one day.

"We have always been paying attention to her, but Duan Qiuping is an old and experienced person, and she is also a being in the realm of creation. It is difficult for our people to get close to her..."

"learn!"

Although Hu Kai is a staff member of the association, he does not just serve Chen Yang, a member alone. This is not his job. He is willing to help out of kindness, not his duty.

Therefore, Chen Yang has no right to make demands on others.

Now that Liu Henghu is in seclusion, Chen Yang is unable to obtain information from the caravan and can only rely on Hu Kai.

"What's the situation at the Ding family?" Chen Yang changed the subject.

Hu Kai smiled bitterly, "They are still arguing over negotiations. We all thought it would be a big fight, but it turned out to be just a war of words. Both parties should be wary of each other and know that fighting will not benefit anyone. Now they should be thinking of a way to deal with it without losing face for both sides!"

"Although the old man of the Chen family has been released, this matter is definitely not over yet. Let's see how they deal with it later. I think the Ding family seems to want our association to intervene and mediate. In this way, both sides can step down. However, the two presidents of the association don't seem to want to care about it!"

"After the Ding family detained the people, our association wanted to intervene, but we didn't expect the Ding family to ignore us and just sit back and watch the situation escalate without giving us any face. Now they want our president to mediate. Hey, our president has no temper. He comes when he's called and leaves when he's dismissed!"

……

Hu Kai complained on the phone.

It seems that the Ding family now wants to make a big deal out of a small matter and make a small matter disappear!
They might not have expected that the Chen family of Hong Kong Island would react so greatly. Chen Jingzong looked ordinary, just an ordinary old man. Who could find someone who could actually invite so many powerful people, including five spiritual realm masters!

Now, there is only Ding Lianyun in his Ding family.

Although the Ding family has creatures of the Creation Realm protecting them, they dare not take action easily. After the incident with Ding Huanchun, the authorities allowed the existence of these two creatures of the Creation Realm, but only gave them the right to self-defense and were not allowed to leave the Tianchi Mountain.

No matter how powerful the Ding family is, they dare not confront the authorities head-on. Otherwise, the only outcome that will greet Tianchi Mountain is probably artillery fire and plowing the land.

It is true that those masters from Hong Kong Island came to the Ding family, but so far, no conflict has occurred and the Ding family has not encountered any crisis.

If these two spirit beasts dare to take action unless it is a matter of life and death, it would be a violation of the rules.

Who knows, the Mountain-Ganning Association is waiting for the fate of these two spirit beasts!
