Chapter 139 Guojia Village
Guojia Village is different from Gaojia Village. It is not large in scale. There is a circle of wooden fences around it, forming a village. Outsiders cannot enter at will, and people inside need to open the door.
There are thirty or fifty families in the village and more than one hundred people. Juren Guo is the well-deserved patriarch and village leader.
Back then, he was just a reckless young man in the village. With his strength, he started to cause trouble since he was a teenager and often ran out, saying that he wanted to travel all over the famous mountains and rivers and visit heroes all over the world.
He really went there, and no one in the village could stop him, and he was even a little happy with his trip.
Just a year later, Juren Guo returned, his temperament changed drastically, and he no longer caused trouble. He used all his strength to help others. He quickly gained the favor of the whole village, married and had children smoothly. He became the de facto leader of the village under the age of 30, and was in charge of the big and small affairs in the village.
The old patriarch in the village saw it and before he could die, he publicly passed the position to the rising star and never interfered in the affairs of the village.
Since ancient times, no one knows how ancient the rumors are. I only remember that the ancestors have said that there cannot be more than 121 people in Guojia Village. The reason has been forgotten long ago, but no one dared to disobey the ancestral teachings. Juren Guo has a strict abide by marriage and funerals, babies' births, elderly people's deaths, etc., all must be calculated and agreed by him.
He had a habit different from the previous clan leader. He always felt that Guojia Village was not safe enough. When he fully grasped power, he mobilized the entire village to move to a higher and more dangerous place. It took nearly twenty years to build a village near the old village that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
During the process, villagers inevitably complained. After the completion, everyone felt that the new village was better. At least they didn’t have to worry about the attack of wild animals and could sleep peacefully at night.
Not long ago, Gaojia Village was burned by fire. When the news came, the villagers of Guojia Village were even more grateful that the village had strict defenses and since then they have been more strict in control of outsiders.
Hu Guiyang and his group were blocked outside the village.
Lao Guoqi and Xiao Guohuo have blood relatives in the village. They have been free from contact before. This is the first time that they have been blocked. They are both accidental and embarrassed, and they keep apologizing to Hu Guiyang and others.
The village gate is built on a high place, and a steep hillside acts as a natural city wall. Outsiders can only stand on a narrow mountain road and speak upwards.
"I'm not an outsider! I'm Guo Laoqi's son Lao Guoqi, and I'm uncle and nephew of Guo Juren. You all know me. I recognize you. You are from whom you are. You have to call me Uncle Qi..."
"Uncle Qi, I recognize you. If you were alone, or Xiao Guohuo, I would have put it in, but you brought too many people and they were all strange faces, so I couldn't open the door."
Lao Guoqi turned around and smiled apologetically to Hu Guiyang and others, and said to the top: "What I brought is not an outsider. This one is named Hu Guiyang, and is the great benefactor of our Gaojia Village!"
"You have nothing in the village, what kind of benefactor do you want?"
This sentence annoyed Xiaocao. She kept listening, and then stepped forward and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, open the door!"
The person above looked over and looked at him, "Is this General Gao's sister? Isn't it possible to open the door. Juren Guo said that Gaojia Village was destroyed by General Gao. That woman was a big trouble, and her sister was a little trouble."
Xiaocao flew out a shot, and the people in the village quickly shrank their heads. The chain gun was too short and fell off without even touching the gate. Xiaocao had no choice.
Old Guo Qi and Xiao Guohuo were also helpless, so they could only look back at Hu Guiyang.
Everyone was watching him. He brought everyone all the way to Gaojia Village, but ended up eating a retreat. He could not move forward or retreat. The situation was quite embarrassing.
Hu Guiyang didn't expect that Juren Guo was so difficult to deal with, and said to Zhao Aqi beside him: "It's time for you to show off."
"Senior brother, what do you think of?"
"Can you climb up?"
Zhao Aqi took a look and found that the village was not particularly tall. The fence was steep and steep slopes were about six or seven feet high. The hillside was steep and slippery. The growing vines and trees were cut off, leaving only a piece of slippery moss, not even a starting point.
"If it were in the past, I would definitely not be able to do it, now" Zhao Aqi tightened his belt, "I can give it a try."
"I don't have to try, it will definitely work." As soon as He Wu said a word, Zhao Aqi had already run out, fearing that he would be robbed of credit.
Zhao Aqi walked along the road, avoided the steep slope, and came to the gate of the village. He looked up for a while, climbed up the wooden fence. When he was halfway through, the guards above noticed it. He was shocked and frightened, shouted loudly, and stabbed down with a spear in his hand.
Zhao Aqi paused for a moment, reached out and grabbed a spear that was stabbed, pulled it down and threw it on the ground.
The guards above almost fell out, and were even more frightened, shouting and calling for help.
Although Zhao Aqi had not learned exquisite light skills, he climbed very fast. Before the people above gathered, he had already crossed the village gate and stood upstairs, knocked the guards over with three punches and two kicks, and then shouted to Hu Guiyang outside: "Senior brother, what should I do next?"
"Come down!" Hu Guiyang also replied loudly.
Everyone was stunned, especially Zhao Aqi, "Just go on like this?"
"Yes, come down the same way."
Zhao Aqi was obedient and first defeated two villagers who went upstairs to help, then climbed over the fence and climbed down.
Fan Dajian kept looking at Zhao Aqi, and then whispered to Hu Guiyang: "Hey, you are really capable, you can actually conquer such a... strange man."
Hu Guiyang smiled but said nothing.
Zhao Aqi returned to Hu Guiyang, "That's what happened?"
"Well, Guojia Village has established a village and is the only one who wants to tell the villagers inside that no matter how high the fence is, it cannot stop real masters. If they understand this principle, they will let us enter the village. If they don't understand, it will be useless to say more, let's go to Lijia Village instead."
Zhao Aqi didn't hear anything else, but only noticed the words "real master" and grinned.
Hu Guiyang guessed it right. In less than a stick of incense, the gate of the village opened wide and more than ten people came out, each holding a spear. He was the tall and strong old man with gray hair and a shiny beard walking.
Old Guo Qi immediately whispered: "This is Juren Guo."
Hu Guiyang stepped forward to greet him. Juren Guo stopped and stood with a gun. His eyes swept around, but he just skipped Hu Guiyang who was closest to him and said aloud: "Which hero was crossing my village just now?"
Zhao Aqi couldn't stand the flattery of others the most, so he stepped forward and said, "I am the hero."
Juren Guo looked at Zhao Aqi several times, said nothing, turned his eyes to others, and soon fell on Lao Guoqi, "Do you know our rules, what's the intention of bringing outsiders on purpose?"
Old Guo Qi was afraid of Juren Guo, so he nodded and smiled and did not dare to say anything.
Juren Guo's eyes continued to turn, and then fell on Xiaocao, "Your sister not only killed herself, but also killed the entire Gaojia Village. I had expected this to happen, so I didn't allow your sister to enter my house at the beginning."
Xiaocao's face turned red with anger. She was a girl from the mountain and was not good at speaking. She wanted to throw a flying gun when she was angry. Hu Guiyang moved to her and smiled and said, "Ju Ren Guo sent someone to Gaojia Village to convey this prophecy in person, right? No wonder General Gao fought hard."
Juren Guo finally turned his attention to Hu Guiyang, "Guojia Village does not welcome outsiders, especially the government's manpower, please leave. Lao Guoqi and Xiao Guohuo can stay in this village if they are willing. We will not stay in the other people in Gaojia Village. If there is not enough quota, please go to Lijia Village."
Juren Guo turned out to have heard of Hu Guiyang's identity.
“Don’t Guojia Village welcome tolerants?”
"It's not just that we don't welcome you. We are willing to let you go, which is the greatest courtesy."
Juren Guo became more and more arrogant, and the more everyone listened, they became more and more angry. They all held back their anger. Only Hu Guiyang still smiled, "Okay, I'm not talking too much. More 'tolerance' will soon visit Guojia Village. If you want to 'let' them go, it will probably be very difficult. Let the fence be taller."
Hu Guiyang said to Lao Guoqi, Xiao Guohuo: "You can stay or follow me."
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Guohuo said, "I, I'll stay."
Lao Guo Qize said: "If you want to go to Lijia Village, I am willing to lead the way."
"Go to Lijia Village."
Hu Guiyang bowed his hand and said goodbye, holding the horse, leading everyone to turn and leave.
Not long after walking, He Wu Crazy Man finally couldn't help but, "Just leave like this? I worked hard to get here, without a single sip of water and a mouthful of rice. I was so angry that I didn't even let go of a fart when I left?"
"You go and put one, we'll wait for you here." Hu Guiyang didn't feel insulted.
"Bah, I've seen through it. You are just good at speaking and can deceive Zhao Aqi. You are bullied but you dare not take action."
"My name is Zhao Lixing."
Hu Guiyang continued to lead the horse forward and shouted: "If anyone wants to fight with me, it's been looking for the wrong person. My purpose is to make all of you not have to fight one day."
"What's the point of not fighting?" He Wu's madman was surprised. He turned his head and saw that his third sister was nodding. Yuan Mao, Fan Dajian, Zhang Wuchen and others seemed to agree. It was rare for Zhao Aqi to agree with him at one time and whispered: "How can you dominate the world if you don't fight?"
Hu Guiyang pointed to a mountain in the distance and said to Lao Guoqi: "Can we camp there?"
"Yes, but we can go further before dark."
"No need, find a dry place to rest early, so as to save some energy for Juren Guo and reduce his path."
Old Guo Qi was stunned. Most of the others didn't understand. After walking a while, He Wu's madman finally woke up, "You mean that Juren Guo will catch up?"
"Maybe." Hu Guiyang smiled, "Anyway, I'm tired, I must have a good rest."
After everyone camped on the mountain, it was not completely dark, and Hu Guiyang didn't eat, but fell to sleep, telling Yuan Mao: "Unless there are sneak attackers, don't wake me up until dawn."
The others were not so sleepy. They set up a bonfire, sat around them, and divided them into groups. They were not too familiar with each other. After chatting for a few words, they fell into silence. Everyone refused to fall asleep too early, and they all wanted to see if Juren Guo really knew how to chase him out.
The night became deeper and deeper, and everyone lay down one by one, only Zhao Aqi and He Wu were vigilant. The two despised each other, and one respected Hu Guiyang and the other hated him, so they persisted for a longer time.
Nearly midnight, no one was chasing him. He Wu Crazy stood on a high place, looking at the direction of Guojia Village, and said in surprise: "Hey, Guojia Village has also lit a fire, but it is still a big fire!"
