Chapter 1540: Netherworld, Other Shore Flower 15
So this snake definitely knows the direction.
Then why would it say such things?
Could it be intentionally testing it?
Snake Man looked at his own bruised body.
If he manages to escape, it won’t find that person named Su Yan.
Perhaps it might come looking for him for revenge again...
After thinking it through, Snake Man spoke up
"I can take you there."
Little Red wagged his tail, full of doubt
"How do I know the place you’re taking me to is correct or not?"
Snake Man hurriedly responded
"I can’t run away, if the place I take you is incorrect, you can kill me.
Your Dao Lineage is profound, killing me would be a piece of cake."
Little Red heard the word ’profound Dao Lineage’.
Was it praising him for being strong?
Thinking about it this way, Little Red got happy.
Indeed, it’s the first time someone has praised him for being strong.
Little Red happily wagged his tail.
To express the joy in his heart.
Then, Snake Man seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
He spoke up
"Alright, if you take me to find Yanyan, I won’t kill you."
Snake Man immediately nodded, taking Little Red toward Guling Village.
On the other side, let’s talk about Su Yan.
By about sunset, the two of them rode swiftly and arrived at Guling Village.
This village is surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Very secluded, the people here have lived here all their lives.
Few have ever left the mountains.
When Su Yan and Sang Ming arrived, they drew the villagers’ attention.
The two dismounted, tying their horses to a nearby tree.
They walked inward.
At this time, a villager curiously opened his mouth
"Are you people from outside the mountains?"
Sang Ming smiled and nodded
"Yes."
Following that, the villager’s gaze was scrutinizing
"Why have you come here?"
Sang Ming spoke up
"We’re looking to learn about someone named Hu Rou."
Upon hearing this name, the villager’s expression changed slightly, his brows furrowing
"Why are you asking about her? She’s been dead for several years."
Sang Ming reached into his pouch and pulled out a Silver Ingot, handing it to the villager.
He then said
"Does this matter trouble you?"
When the villager saw the Silver Ingot, his eyes lit up.
All his life, he had only heard of Silver Ingots, never seen one.
The villager bit into it to confirm it was indeed a Silver Ingot.
Then the reluctant look on his face about the inquiry vanished instantly.
He spoke up heartily
"What do you want to know, just ask."
Sang Ming pondered for a moment, then spoke
"I heard she was drowned, may I ask why?"
The villager sighed
"What other reason could there be? She was already married, yet spent her days entangled with several men in the village, and furthermore, it’s said she even consorted with outsiders.
This, this is simply a wanton woman.
A disgrace beyond compare!!"
When talking about this matter, the villager was filled with indignation.
Su Yan spoke up
"With which men was she involved?"
At this question, the villager scratched his head, smiling a bit
"Ah, well, the specifics, I don’t really know, this was a judgment made by the most respectable elder in our village.
When she was sentenced to drowning, I was also present.
Her official was also there, and it was said he was the one who testified, having seen it with his own eyes.
Caught in the act!
Tsk tsk tsk"
Saying this, the villager shook his head and sighed.
After finishing, the villager hurriedly added
"You two, the people in our village are all honest and simple, that, that Hu Rou is no longer one of us.
Please do not think that our villagers are also so shady."
