Chapter 235: Villagers are troublemakers

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

The Northern Mountain Village had a tradition. Whenever there was a celebration, all of the families would gather at the square for a meal. It always added color to their otherwise mundane lives.

As such, when he heard the loud noises from the square, Fang Zhengzhi's heart leapt. Which family is holding a wedding this time?

To think that I made it just in time.

Fang Zhengzhi was incredibly happy.

”There's meat to eat once I come home, home is the best!”

Fang Zhengzhi missed the dishes from his village. When he brought Chi Guyan to his home, the doors were locked and the lights were switched off.

Fang Zhengzhi was not surprised. If there was a wedding in the village, Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian were probably at the square too.

What am I going to do? The doors are locked...

Should I go over the wall? Fang Zhengzhi was not that uncouth. He chose to pry open a brick by the door. As he expected, there was a key there.

After opening the door and making sure the Snow Treading Dragon Stallion and the Scarlet Flame Snow Cloud were comfortable, Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan made a beeline for the assembly square.

Chi Guyan had spent some time in the Northern Mountain Village. She knew the rules here and did not question Fang Zhengzhi.

Before they arrived at the square, Fang Zhengzhi saw a few cauldrons and grills from afar. Meat was currently being grilled, its aroma filling the air.

There were dozens of tables next to the grills.

The sounds reverberated from the center.

”So many people?” Fang Zhengzhi was taken aback. There were only a hundred families in the Northern Mountain Village. After including all of the singles, there were usually no more than a dozen tables.

But today was different.

Was this marriage with someone from a neighboring village? Are they here too? Where is the red cloth?

Just as he was contemplating, Fang Zhengzhi's gaze froze. He realized that there were many weapons by the side of the square. The center table was occupied by soldiers.

All of the villagers stood to the side of the soldiers. Ladies and children stood behind them, waiting on them constantly.

”Why are there so many soldiers in the village?!” Fang Zhengzhi began to have his doubts. The soldiers seemed to be having their way.

They seemed to be used to this kind of treatment. They had clearly been staying here for some time.

Does this have something to do with the ferocious beast?

Is there a need for so many soldiers just to capture a beast? Furthermore, shouldn't these soldiers be at camp if they're trying to subdue the beast? Why are they here?

Questions filled Fang Zhengzhi's mind. He could not understand what was happening. He began brisk walking to the square.

He arrived at the square shortly.

The villagers were all busy serving and waiting on the soldiers. None of them noticed Fang Zhengzhi's and Chi Guyan's arrival. However, Chi Guyan's attire was too outstanding. It simply did not fit in with the villagers.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the square, they were finally noticed.

”Ayy? Why is there an academic... ah! This is... oh my god, Zhengzhi is back?!” A voice rang out in shock and joy.

The voice was rather soft considering the loud noises in the square. However, its impact was quite stunning. More and more people began to notice...

”It's Zhengzhi!”

”Why is Zhengzhi back all of a sudden?!”

”Oh my god, Zhengzhi is back!”

The voices overlapped and attracted the attention of all the villagers. Before long, all the villagers stopped what they were doing and looked at Fang Zhengzhi in surprise.

”Zheng Er, it's Zheng Er, Zheng Er is back!” Qin Xuelian, who was holding a pot of wine next to the center table, exclaimed.

Her body began to tremble as a smile broke out on her exquisite face.

During the past few months, Qin Xuelian had been looking forward to this moment. She had missed her son so much.

Excitement and surprise caused Qin Xuelian to flush.

So much so she forgot about the pot of wine she was holding in her hand.

”Smack!”
