Chapter 141 Clues

Yuan Changqing drove a carriage, took Catherine and Wang Yuyan with him, said goodbye to his family, and started heading towards Hanhai City.

Hanhai City is located in the west of the Tiandou Empire, close to the sea. It is also the only large city in the west of the Tiandou Empire that is close to the sea.

There were stops and starts along the way, because Yuan Changqing and the others did not know whether the scroll that Catherine took out was true or false, but they would still observe it on the road.

…

As night fell, Yuan Changqing and the other three also came to a village, where they planned to spend the night.

When Yuan Changqing drove the carriage into the village, someone in the village heard the sound of the carriage driving on the road, and some people came out to investigate.

A middle-aged man saw a carriage approaching and felt that Yuan Changqing was extraordinary. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, my lord, are you a soul master?"

Yuan Changqing stopped the carriage and said: "Yes, you too!"

After the middle-aged man confirmed that Yuan Changqing was a soul master, he became excited and asked: "Master soul master, do you come to our village to find someone, or do you have something to do?"

Yuan Changqing said: "No, my wife and I were going somewhere else. However, seeing that it was getting late and seeing the smoke coming from the kitchens here, I came over to see if I could find a place to stay overnight."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was relieved to hear that he came here to stay for the night and was not looking for trouble.

Then, the middle-aged man said: "Master Soul Master, you are welcome to our village. I am the village chief of this village. I happen to have an extra room in my house. If you don't mind, I will have to live with you for one night."

Yuan Changqing added: "Thank you very much to the village chief. I just need a place to live."

The village chief said: "Master Soul Master, please come with me. My home is not far ahead."

Then, the village chief led the way, and Yuan Changqing drove a carriage and followed the village chief to the front of his house.

After the carriage stopped, Catherine and Wang Yuyan also got off the carriage one after another.

Yuan Changqing asked the village chief again: "Village Chief, is there a place in your house where I can park my carriage?"

Hearing this, the village chief said: "Master Soul Master, there happens to be a place next to my house that is usually used to store some firewood. You can park your carriage there."

After Yuan Changqing parked the carriage, the village chief introduced Yuan Changqing and the others into his home and quickly poured tea for them.

The village chief said: "Master Soul Master, there is nothing good at home. It's all wild tea from the mountains. You just have to make do with it."

Yuan Changqing said: "Village Chief, it's okay. These are all very good. I have caused trouble to your family."

Hearing Yuan Changqing, a soul master, be so polite, the village chief was also a little overwhelmed, because some of the soul masters he usually saw were condescending to civilians like them.

After seeing Yuan Changqing and the others drinking tea, the village chief said, "You three adults, I will take you to see the room now."

After looking at the room, Yuan Changqing thought it was very good. Although it looked relatively simple, the room was also very clean.

Yuan Changqing said: "Village Chief, the room is nice. You don't have to stay with us all the time. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. Let's tidy it up first."

The village chief nodded quickly and said: "Okay, Master Soul Master, if you still need help, please call me at any time. I will leave first and call you again when dinner is served."

"Well, please excuse me, village chief."

After the village chief left, Yuan Changqing said: "Catherine, Yu Yan, we will rest here tonight and set off again tomorrow."

The two girls nodded, and Wang Yuyan said, "Okay, Brother Changqing, I'll make the bed with Sister Catherine first."

…

As night fell, the village chief came over and called Yuan Changqing and the three of them to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, the village chief said: "The three adults are just farm dishes. There is nothing good about them. Don't dislike them."

Yuan Changqing also said: "Village Chief, you are so polite. We are not that particular. We used to come from a small village. You are already rich, so you don't have to say whether you dislike it or not."

After eating, Yuan Changqing thought about the scroll again, so he asked the village chief, "Village Chief, has your family lived here for generations?"

The village chief said: "Yes, we commoners have no good way out outside. We can only work in the village for generations. Sometimes, when soul masters appear in the village, they all move to live in the city."

"Village chief, are there any stories or legends around here, or is there any special place?" Yuan Changqing heard the village chief say that his family has lived here for generations, and he thought he might know the area better.

The village chief didn't know what Yuan Changqing was looking for. He thought about it carefully and then said: "Master Soul Master, we are all ordinary people, not as powerful as soul masters. Therefore, we only move around the village, like those around the village." Except for the more experienced hunters, we rarely go into those big mountains, so I have never heard of any stories or legends or special places around here."

Yuan Changqing nodded, not disappointed. After all, if the scroll was true, how could it be found so easily.

However, accidents often happen inadvertently. At this time, the village chief's youngest son said that there was a place that might be the special place Yuan Changqing asked about.

"Uncle, I know there is a place. I don't know if it is the place you are asking about."

At this time, the village chief quickly scolded his youngest son and said, "You are so young, what do you know? You know how to be naughty all day long."

Then, he said to Yuan Changqing: "Master Soul Master, this is my youngest son Goudan. Don't listen to his nonsense. I have lived here for decades and don't even know what this kid knows!"

In fact, the village chief is also afraid that Goudan's nonsense will make Yuan Changqing unhappy, and then their family will be in misery.

Yuan Changqing said: "It's okay, village chief, let's just treat it as casual chat. It's okay to let Goudan talk."

So, Yuan Changqing looked at Goudan again and asked, "Goudan, you can say whatever you want. Even if you say something wrong, my uncle won't blame you."

Goudan looked at the village chief, and when he nodded, he said: "Uncle, I really didn't lie. My little friend told me these. He said he heard his father say it at home."

Hearing what Goudan said, Yuan Changqing became interested and asked again: "Goudan, please continue talking. If you agree, uncle will give you a reward."

When he heard that there was a reward, Goudan was even more happy and said happily: "My little friend's name is Shouhou. He said that his father once encountered a bare mountain when he was hunting in the mountains, and suddenly he was there. I fainted and almost encountered danger there. If it weren’t for Shouhou’s hunting dog, I might have died there. After I finished speaking, Shouhou only told me this.”

After Yuan Changqing saw that Goudan had finished speaking, he felt that there must be something weird there, so he said to the village chief: "Village Chief, I would like to ask you to take me to find the father named Shouhou tomorrow."

The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, Master Soul Master, I'll just call you here tomorrow."

Yuan Changqing said: "No, we can just go find him tomorrow. I also want to ask where he went and learn more about it."

"Well, okay, just listen to the adults."
