Chapter 367 Water Village

"So it's a distinguished guest. How can we ask a guest to do such rough work as carrying a box?"

Seventh uncle took back the bamboo pole and said to the sturdy boy of fifteen or sixteen behind him: "Shitou, go help the young lady carry the box on the boat."

The boy at the stern had dark skin and was very strong. It was obvious that he had a set of horizontal training kung fu. Chu Yang took a look with his fiery eyes and found that the boy had good aptitude for cultivation. Unfortunately, I don't know if there was a problem with his training method or he didn't get the guidance of a famous teacher. Some parts of his body were overtrained, while others were lacking.

"Oh, I see."

Hearing the instructions of the seventh uncle, Shitou responded in a muffled voice and jumped off the boat to start moving the luggage.

Chu Yang stood aside and always felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle. Not to mention that the seventh uncle was cold to Wei Yuxin, this boy named Shitou also seemed to be very repulsive to them.

Although he didn't show it very obviously, the disgust he showed inadvertently was captured by Chu Yang sensitively.

After everyone got on the boat, Uncle Qi turned the boat around with a bamboo pole and headed in the direction they came from.

The boat looked small, but the space inside the cabin was quite spacious. Apart from a few boxes, Chu Yang and others had more than enough space to sit down.

The direction the boat was heading was the source of Ruoye Creek. This small stream was blocked by branches and bushes on both sides. When the boat moved forward, Uncle Qi had to use a bamboo pole to block the blocking bushes.

"It is so inconvenient to sail here, why don't you clear the branches on both sides?"

Chu Yang felt that this was a waste of time. In his opinion, if these obstructing branches were cut off, wouldn't the speed of travel be much faster?

Wei Yuxin was about to explain, and Shitou, who was closer to Chu Yang, pursed his lips and said, "What do you know as an outsider? This is the only way to enter the valley. With these trees blocking it, it won't be discovered by others!"

Shitou's tone was full of disdain, and he looked at Chu Yang while speaking.

"So that's how it is."

Chu Yang didn't care about Shitou's rudeness, thinking that the Wei family was really deliberate in order to hide their tracks. The helicopter sent them to the place and left, probably to prevent being discovered.

After what happened just now, Chu Yang secretly warned himself that from now on he should talk less and watch more, so as not to touch the nerves of the Wei family.

After about half an hour, the boat finally sailed out of the jungle and came to a bright place.

"Brother, we're almost there."

At this time, Wei Zixi leaned close to Chu Yang's ear and whispered.

Chu Yang looked up and found that Ruoye Creek was restrained by a valley mouth, only four or five meters wide. Above this valley mouth, there was a small water fort made of giant wood.

The appearance of this quaint water fort made Chu Yang think he had arrived at a film and television base.

"Xiao Liuzi, I've received the people, open the gate quickly."

Just as Chu Yang was watching, the seventh uncle shouted above the water fort.

After a while, a bald man appeared above the water fort, stared at the black-sailed boat below, and shouted: "Seventh Uncle, you know the rules. Strangers coming in need to be checked. Let everyone in the cabin come out to count the number?"

Seventh Uncle said angrily: "Asshole, you don't even trust Seventh Uncle? Could it be that I would let a wolf into the house?"

The bald man named Xiao Liuzi smiled and said: "Seventh Uncle, don't embarrass me. This is the rule set by the elders. If you have any objections, go and talk to them."

"Humph."

Seventh Uncle There was nothing he could do, so he turned to Wei Yuxin and said, "Miss, please come out and sign in. I can't do anything about it."

"It's my duty."

Wei Yuxin had no objection, and said to Yi Xue, "Let's go, we'll all go out of the cabin, we'll have to get off the ship anyway."

Yi Xue supported her and muttered, "They just want to make us unhappy. These people are really petty."

"Shut up."

Wei Yuxin rolled her eyes at Yi Xue, stopped her from complaining, and then pulled Wei Zixi out of the cabin.

When everyone stood at the bow and stern of the ship, Bald Xiaoliu counted them one by one, focusing on Chu Yang for a few times, and then nodded and said, "The number is correct."

After that, he walked aside and started turning a huge winch.

"Ka-ka-ka..."

Accompanied by a burst of mechanical sounds, a solid iron gate on the front of the water fort slowly rose, revealing the passage to the inside.

Following the passage into the water fort, there was an artificial pier in front, and several piers leading to the deep water.

In addition to the black-sailed boats, there were dozens of small boats moored at the pier, which should be the means of transportation for the Wei family to enter and exit.

When the boat docked on the pier, five people hurried over from a distance.

Chu Yang took a quick look and found that these five people were all in the late stage of foundation building.

According to Wei Yuxin, although the Wei family is a family of cultivators, there are not many foundation building masters in the family, only a few dozen people. These people walked from a distance with tiger steps and dragons, and their faces were solemn, and they seemed to be coming with great momentum.

Wei Yuxin also saw the people coming, so she stood on the shore with Chu Yang waiting.

"Miss."

Walking closer, the bearded man in the lead clasped his fists and saluted Wei Yuxin.

"Miss."

The remaining four also saluted and stood quietly aside.

"Thank you, Brother Min."

Wei Yuxin nodded slightly and said politely.

"Well, you are too polite, Miss."

The bearded man looked a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously turned his head to look to the side.

When he looked, he met Chu Yang's eyes.

"I guess this is the distinguished guest?"

The bearded man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked Chu Yang up and down.

Chu Yang didn't know what Wei Yuxin said, and it was difficult to answer this question, so he turned his head to look at his mother.

"Yes, the guest invited by my eldest brother is him."

The bearded man nodded, took out a black eye mask from his pocket, handed it to Chu Yang and said: "If outsiders want to enter the valley, they need to cover their eyes. Please bear with me."

After these words came out, Wei Yuxin and others' faces changed a little.

Wei Zixi said unconvinced: "When was this rule established? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Miss Sun, calm down. This is what the elders of the clan agreed on before. Now is a special period. Please forgive me."

The bearded man said neither servile nor arrogant.

Wei Zixi complained, "Elders..."

"Shut up!"

Wei Yuxin guessed what she was going to say and stopped her, saying, "Since it is a rule that was established before, it is not targeted at him alone. We should abide by it."

Taking the mask from the other party, Wei Yuxin walked in front of Chu Yang and apologized, "I didn't know there was such a rule before, so I have to put you in a difficult position."

Chu Yang frowned slightly. Since he got off the helicopter, he felt that the Wei family was a little cold, as if they were deliberately targeting them. Even Wei Yuxin, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, was ignored.

What's more annoying is that these people in front of him are obviously here to guard against him, and they even took out the blindfolds, just short of writing the three words "distrust" on their faces!
