Chapter 242: The Story Of Qing Zhu Village

Hearing what the old man said, Mu Yucheng watched the old man’s hostile behavior thoughtfully. Because of the loud voice of the old woman, more and more villagers came with hoes, sickles, and sticks. Not long after, Mu Yucheng was surrounded by villagers who were equipped with all kinds of farm tools.

Just as Mu Yucheng was thinking about how to explain to the villagers that he came here without any malice, a middle-aged man came forward.

The middle-aged man looked at Mu Yucheng for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "I am the village chief of Shi Wu Village. May I ask, why are you asking about Lady Hu?"

Mu Yucheng looked at the village chief and said, "My name is Mu Yucheng. I am the chief disciple of the Tian Jian Sect. I came here to investigate the fox demons."

The village chief thought for a while and asked, "Why do you want to investigate the fox demons?"

"They kidnapped my companions before, and I want to know what they want to do by kidnapping my companions." Mu Yucheng replied calmly.

After speaking, Mu Yucheng observed the expressions of the villagers. He noticed that when he mentioned the fox demons, the villagers looked at him with hostility.

Mu Yucheng thought for a while, and said, "I’m just curious when I heard the old man talk about Lady Hu. From what I heard, this Lady Hu is their benefactor. Because she is kind-hearted, I want to be friends with her."

Although the village chief didn’t believe Mu Yucheng’s words, he couldn’t tell whether Mu Yucheng was lying or not, because Mu Yucheng didn’t have any expression on his face. His voice was too calm, and his eyes looked cold. Of course, what Mu Yucheng said about being friends with Lady Hu just now was a lie.

Since the village chief doesn’t know if My Yucheng is lying or not, the village chief can only smile at Mu Yucheng and say, "So that is the reason."

After the village chief finished speaking, Mu Yucheng just silently looked at him. The village chief coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "Since Young Master Mu wants to be friends with Lady Hu, then I will take you to find her."

Mu Yucheng shook his head and said, "Before that, can the village chief answer one of my questions?"

The village chief nodded and said, "Please feel free to ask."

"Is this Lady Hu a fox demon?" Mu Yucheng asked calmly.

The village chief looked at Mu Yucheng, thought for a while, and said, "Yes."

The village chief thought that Mu Yucheng might want to kill Lady Hu, and quickly said, "Although Lady Hu is a fox demon, she has a kind heart. Three years ago, she saved everyone and helped us live here under her protection. If it wasn’t for her, everyone here would have been turned into a corpse a long time ago."

This is the second time Mu Yucheng has heard that Lady Hu helped these villagers. He was a little curious and asked, "Has anything happened before? Can you tell me about it?"

The village chief smiled and said, "Of course. It’s not something I can’t tell others."

As if recalling the past, the village chief looked up at the sky from the hole on top of the farmland and said, "Five years ago, we lived in Qing Zhu Village. Although life was hard and we were always hungry, we were happy. One day, a man came to our village, saying that he can restore the land for us, as long as we let him live in our village for a few days."

The village chief sighed and continued: "At that time, although our village chief had doubts about what he said, the village chief was also moved by his words. In order to recover the land, everyone agreed to let that person stay in our village. What we didn’t know was, this is the beginning of a tragedy."

The village chief looked at Mu Yucheng and said, "After we agreed to his request, the man took out a bottle of red liquid and said that with the red liquid, the soil can be restored and replanted with crops. Our village chief expressed his doubt to him, and asked the man to prove his words. The man agreed to our request and poured the red liquid on the soil in front of everyone."

"The moment the red liquid was absorbed by the soil, the dry and cracked land slowly turned into fertile soil, and the grass began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. At that time, we only knew that this person was a disciple of some Immortal Sect, who left his sect to practice and save common people. That person stayed in our village for two years. Afterwards, more and more people came to our village wearing the same clothes as him. Everything looks good and we are living a good life." Said the village chief, with a hint of longing in his tone.

After being silent for a few seconds, the village chief continued with a terrified expression. His voice trembled slightly when he said, "Until one day, I accidentally discovered that the red liquid was actually made of fox demon’s blood. After I found out, I immediately informed the village chief. But the village chief not only did not stop those people, instead, he warned me to keep it a secret."

The village chief took a few deep breaths, and then tremblingly said, "At that time, I just wanted to spread the news, let the villagers know the truth, and save the fox demons from those people. Unfortunately, in the face of interest, most villagers did not agree to my plea and turned a blind eye to this matter. Only a handful of villagers are willing to go with me to rescue those fox demons and drive those people out of our village. Seeing that everyone knows the origin of the red liquid, those people are even more emboldened."

The village chief shook his head and said, "Before long, everyone here and I were caught, and we were almost burned to death after being locked for a few months. Fortunately, when those people were away, Lady Hu came and saved us. Unfortunately, when she came, it was already too late to save the fox demons. They had all died of blood loss, and their bodies were mutilated."
