Obviously, the villagers regarded Chen Fan as something unclean.
Chen Fan gave a long laugh and said, "Lao Zhang is not afraid, I am a human, not a ghost. If you don't believe me, see, how can a ghost dare to walk under the big sun."
The old village chief stared wide-eyed for a while, then said with a sigh of relief: "This man has a shadow, not a ghost."
A young man reminded quietly: "The village chief, this person doesn't look like a good one, let's beware."
"Yeah." The old village head nodded calmly, and shouted at Chen Fan: "I don't know where is the immortal hometown of strong men? Why do they end up here?"
Seeing that the other party was so vigilant, Chen Fan gave up the idea of going ashore and replied: "I'm just a villager in the mountains, passing by the precious land and wanting to ask the village chief, I wonder if there are villages and towns downstream?"
The old village chief responded immediately: "Yes, some. For a strong man, you only have to walk down the river for another twenty miles and you will see a small river that meets the Taki River. This river is called Jinshui River. The strong man only needs to follow the Jinshui River south. After ten miles, there is an ancient town of Jinshui."
"Thank you Lao Zhang for pointing the way." Chen Fan arched his hands and let go of the speed to continue downstream.
The villagers on the shore still looked wary, and it was not until Chen Fan drifted away that they dragged their children back to the village in a curse, but they didn't know what opportunity they had missed.
After drifting with the crowd for half a day, the sunset has dyed half of the sky.
Chen Fan went south on a raft and heard the smoke and flames on the earth, so he went ashore ahead of time to avoid further misunderstanding.
Wading waist-deep weeds, Chen Fan found that the embankment had obvious signs of artificial heightening, but it was abandoned for some reason.
On the other side of the embankment is a vast farmland.
Although the embankment is abandoned, the ancient town is unusually prosperous.
Even at dusk, you can still see many sailboats coming in and out of the dock, and when you get closer, you can see many busy people on the dock.
Chen Fan leaped down the embankment with his straw hat and jumped onto a small country road to continue walking towards the ancient town. Not long ago, he saw an ox cart full of goods anchored by the roadside.
An old man was pushing the bullock cart desperately, but the wheel was stuck firmly in a cracked ground on the side of the road, making it hard to move.
Seeing that he couldn't move the cart, the old man took a pole from the cart and wanted to move the wheels, but how could he be able to move a bullock cart loaded with a cart of goods?
"Lao Zhang, do you want to help?" Chen Fan approached and said loudly.
The old man looked back when he heard the sound, and was taken aback by Chen Fan's burly and sturdy figure. He quickly arched his hands and said, "There are hard workers."
Chen Fan smiled, stepped forward and reached out to grab the protruding position of the axle, and lifted the bullock cart out of the pit with a slight lift.
The old man said with a look of exclamation: "The brave man, you are practicing family, right? The old man has a car worth three thousand catties!"
Chen Fan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "When I was young, I only practiced some superficial skills with brute force."
When the old man saw that he was reluctant to say more, he was not easy to ask, he started to ask, "The strong man, you also came to find the stars?"
"Looking for the stars?" Chen Fan was confused: "What does Lao Zhang mean?"
The old man picked up the ox cart and replied: "A few days ago, a star fell from the sky and fell on the Mang Mountain, and I saw it from all the villages in a radius of ten miles. Then many heroes from the rivers and lakes came to the mountains to find the star, listen. Say that even the immortals are here. No, several inns in the town are full. Old man, I also want to take this opportunity to bring a cart of melons to the town to sell, so I can make a little money, ha ha ha."
Chen Fan smiled and said: "So what happened, but I just passed by, not looking for the stars."
"That's the best." The old man said with emotion: "The stars fell from the sky. How can we ordinary people touch it? Unfortunately, some people just don't understand it. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
While talking, Chen Fan followed the old man to the outside of the ancient town.
I saw the mottled walls of the ancient town covered with vines, a big flag waving in the wind, and the four characters "Jiujiang Jinshui".
In front of the city gate were two old pawns, one dangling a pipe and the other eating bread.
The old man and the two old men seemed to know each other, they greeted me and were released easily.
As for Chen Fan, who was not easy to provoke at first glance, the two elders ignored him.
After entering the ancient town, a hustle and bustle came over.
Ten thousand lights, children crying, adults scolding, animals crowing and barking, can be heard everywhere.
There are also many people from the rivers and lakes walking in groups from the street, or in and out of a certain inn, or lingering in certain places of Yanliu Houlan.
Chen Fan separated from the old man, and was given a melon as a gift before leaving.
Chen Fan accepted with a smile, turned and left.
The old man set up a stall on the side of the road, and laid a straw mat beside the old scalper to sell melons until dawn. Suddenly he reached into his pocket and touched a heavy little bean. He took it out and took a look at the golden bean. It was scared that he hurriedly covered it!
Chen Fan was walking on Shitiao Street in the ancient town with a melon in his hand. He smelled it and came outside an inn. When he looked up, he saw three gilded characters on the inn's plaque—Food is Heaven.
"It's also called Shiweitian?!" Chen Fan looked darkly surprised. He turned to look at the nearby buildings but it didn't match what he remembered. It shouldn't be the world that he had crossed into the'love three'.
"Please from the guest officer!" At this moment, a shop assistant greeted him. First, he was surprised by Chen Fan's tall figure, but he immediately asked with a smile on his face: "Does the hero come to the top or stay in the shop? Chef ancestors have served immortals, and you are satisfied with the craftsmanship handed down."
Chen Fan asked with a smile: "Can you still go to the house?"
"Yes, yes, you are here at the right time, and our shop just vacated a room." Xiao Er immediately invited him in to the counter.
The lobby of the store is full, almost full of heroes, but there are not many ordinary townspeople.
These gangsters looked at Chen Fan for a while, and then whispered to each other to guess the origin of this big man.
"The hero is staying in the shop?" The round shopkeeper's abacus smiled kindly ~EbookFREE.me~ Obviously the skyrocketing turnover in the past few days made him very happy.
"Well, I want an upper room." Chen Fan touched a silver bean and put it on the counter.
The shopkeeper immediately took out a small scale to make an appointment with Yindou's weight, and smiled on his face: "Hero, you can live with Yindou for three days, do you have any other orders?"
Chen Fan said, "I only stay for one night, so let me have some wine and food."
"Okay, you go to the room, and the little one orders the chef to prepare wine and food for you." The shopkeeper immediately greeted Xiao Er and brought Chen Fan to the second floor, and opened the door into the upper room.
The furnishings in the room are antique, bed, table, chair and pot rack are all available.
Xiao Er first lit candles in the room, and then went to the back kitchen to bring a pot of boiling water for the guests to make drinks and rinse.
After seeing him so busy, Chen Fan casually rewarded him with a small silver bean, and almost called his ancestor so happy.
Chen Fan took the opportunity to ask: "Young man, I would like to ask you something."
