As Zhang Hao's evaluation of General Qin and Prime Minister Zhao increased, the value of the shadows also increased.

Seeing that Zhang Hao agreed to the agreement, Zhang Jichen and Wang Jiansong were so excited that they could not sleep.

Early the next morning, the two of them had just felt a little sleepy, but they saw Zhang Hao stretched, stood up, and urged the two of them to get on the road immediately.

Along the way, the two of them fell asleep carrying their things. After finally returning to the village, they saw that the village was quiet.

"Brother, is there an accident in the village?"

Zhang Jichen said cautiously.

When he and Wang Jiansong went out, they saw many old people sitting in the sun and falling asleep.

Those villagers had huge sarcomas on their backs, which looked very strange.

The two of them were shocked at the time and thought there was some infectious disease in the village.

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that these two people were not at the scene when he attacked the village.

"It's nothing, they are just recovering from their injuries."

Zhang Hao said calmly.

After hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, not sure what Zhang Hao's words about healing meant.

Did the eldest brother heal their injuries, or were some villagers trying to attack the eldest brother, but were injured by the eldest brother?

The two of them didn't dare to ask any more questions, and because they were so desperate, they went all the way back to the yard, threw down the glutinous rice, and immediately fled into the woodshed and fell asleep.

Seeing Zhang Hao come back, Shadow finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've been there all day, and I thought something had happened."

While sorting out the glutinous rice in the bag, he looked Zhang Hao up and down, but couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

There was nothing weird about Zhang Hao's appearance, but his temperament surprised Shadow.

After just one day of absence, he discovered that Zhang Hao's temperament had changed again.

Although Zhang Hao seemed very calm before, there seemed to be a suppressed fire in his chest.

When this flame burns, it can burn others to death, and it is also possible to burn Zhang Hao to death.

It's like a child holding explosives in his hand. Although it is scary, the child himself is also in danger. If he is not careful, he may harm others and himself.

But now, this child not only knows how to use explosives, but has even become a master of dismantling. Not only can he deal with various problems with explosives, he can even make explosives by himself.

Although it is still possible for this explosive to backfire on itself, the possibility is slim.

"What happened in the past two days?"

Shadow asked thoughtfully.

He doesn't need to eat, so even if he doesn't eat for a day or two, he won't feel much.

Zhang Hao told what happened in the woods, and then pointed to the white bones in the yard.

"I suspect that except for Wang Binshan, every village has a person who has sealed the village."

After hearing this, Shadow looked thoughtful.

"According to what you said, the villager in this village is Granny Liu, and the villager in the second village is Taoist Luoshang. According to this inference, there are at least thirty-four villagers in the thirty-six villages. Isn't that true?"

Shadow said.

Zhang Hao nodded.

"That doesn't make sense, does it?"

Shadow had other opinions.

"According to your idea, if each of the thirty-six villages supports one villager, how lively would Canglong Mountain be?"

Shadow pointed at the simplified map on the table.

While Zhang Hao was talking, he took a pen and paper and drew a sketch at random.

"Every village has villagers, and their strength is not weak. Judging from the strength you have now, if these thirty-six people can cooperate, even if they are not the best in the world, they will at least be ranked among the top three, right? "

Zhang Hao was thoughtful after hearing this.

Shadow has a point.

Thirty-six villages, if there are thirty-six people who have sealed the villages, the power of just one mountain of Hidden Dragon Mountain is enough to suppress all other inheritances.

And these people are just people who block the villages outside Hidden Dragon Mountain to prevent others from entering Hidden Dragon Mountain.

"If there are not thirty-six people who have closed the village, how many do you think there are?"

Zhang Hao asked with a frown, still struggling with the number of people in the village.

It's not that he's making a fuss out of a molehill, but it's because even he can't handle this trip to the market.

The strength of the Feng Villagers in the second village is already so terrifying. How can the next thirty-four villages fight against them?
Zhang Hao was still struggling. Shadow shook his head helplessly, pointed to the room and said:

"Why do you need to ask me? Don't we have a local here?"

Wang Binshan?
Zhang Hao was suddenly startled and suddenly said:

"He woke up?"

Without waiting for Shadow to reply, Zhang Hao entered the room.

Wang Binshan’s home is very small.

He had been paying attention to the outside just now, and had not paid attention to the bed in the room.

Wang Binshan was lying on the hospital bed, half asleep and half awake.

Next to him, the bowl of boiled vegetables that Zhang Hao made yesterday had been eaten.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Binshan slowly opened his eyes and immediately sat up.

"Sir, are you back?"

Wang Binshan looked at Zhang Hao awkwardly, his eyes evasive, not daring to look at Zhang Hao.

He finally managed to survive, but his family was in such a mess that he couldn't afford anything to entertain Zhang Hao.

It's funny to say that he is a local, but since he came down from the mountain, he has been in need of Zhang Hao's care.

"You're injured, you don't need to get up."

Zhang Hao said calmly and asked him to sit down forcefully.

Later, Zhang Hao explained the situation of Hidden Dragon Thirty-Six Village.

"Hidden Dragon Thirty-Six Villages, each village does have an elder."

"However, over the years, each village has gradually become deserted due to its small population. There are probably only eight villages left with village guards."

Wang Binshan said cautiously, but when Zhang Hao asked again, he shook his head repeatedly.

"Sir, I really don't know anything more. If you ask again, I can only make up lies."

Seeing this, Zhang Hao could only stop asking further questions.

Wang Binshan didn't say much, but it was still of some use.

For example, the villagers of Canglong Thirty-Six Village are called elders. Another example is that over the years, as the number of people has become smaller and smaller, there are only eight villages left.

Thirty-six villages are indeed difficult to deal with, but if there are only eight villages, it is not impossible to challenge.

"Sir, why do you ask these questions?"

Wang Binshan asked curiously.

Zhang Hao looked outside the house, wondering if it was an illusion. Ever since he returned to the village, he felt that the village was too quiet.

The whole village seemed to fall into an eerie silence.

This gave him a bad feeling.

"Hurry up and recuperate. We can leave the village in three days at the latest."

Zhang Hao finished speaking in a hurry and immediately walked out. Wang Binshan looked at Zhang Hao's back with astonishment in his eyes.

Zhang Hao is a senior expert, and senior experts will not speak casually.

Something must have happened in the village, or rather in the other thirty-five villages!
Wang Binshan is not a fool. Although his family is poor, he is not stupid.

He thought for a moment and then reacted.

This matter may have something to do with the mountain.

He and Zhang Hao met on the mountain. If Zhang Hao hadn't rescued him, he and his two brothers would have died on the mountain.

Although Wang Binshan regained consciousness, his vitality was not restored.

Zhang Hao had a conversation, and he quickly fell asleep again. When he woke up again, the sky was already dark.

There was a burst of fragrance outside the house. Wang Binshan had eaten a bowl of boiled vegetables since yesterday.

The taste of boiled vegetables is not good, not to mention that when an adult is recovering from injuries, he will not be hungry even if he eats one meal every two days, no matter how little he consumes.

Wang Binshan struggled to get up and walked into the yard.

Under the dim sky, a stove was raised in the yard. Two large pots were placed on the stove. A strong aroma came from one pot, while the aroma of rice came from the other pot.

And his two good brothers, Zhang Jichen and Wang Jiansong, were sitting by the stove, grabbing their rice bowls.

"You two bastards didn't even bother to check on me when you came back. Instead, you ate alone."

Wang Binshan roared angrily and rushed forward.

Zhang Jichen and Wang Jiansong were eating. When they heard Wang Binshan's movements, they put down their rice bowls and looked back with a strange look on their faces.

"Brother, we have changed to the boss."

Just when Wang Binshan was about to take action, he was stunned on the spot when he heard these words.

He looked at the two of them carefully with wide eyes, and said cautiously:

"You're kidding me, right?"

Zhang Jichen served the rice and Wang Jiansong served the dishes. They each placed their rice bowls in front of Wang Binshan's small table, and then said seriously:

"Brother, this is the last time we call you brother. From today on, the two of us are Mr. Zhang's younger brothers.

We plan to go out with Mr. Zhang to make a living. There is nothing to eat in the mountains. If we continue to stay, we will all starve to death. "

When Wang Binshan heard this, he looked at the two of them and then at the fragrant food on the table, feeling suddenly sad.

Once upon a time, he also promised the two of them a big meal.

However, this sentence has been said for a long time, but it has never been fulfilled.

To this day, the two brothers have despaired of him and even plan to leave him.

And what about him?
The autumn wind is bleak and desolate.

Wang Binshan suddenly sighed, picked up his rice bowl and walked towards the house, not wanting the two of them to see him crying.

"Did this guy cry?"

"The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Sooner or later we will be separated from him. Do we really want to go to the mountains every day to find food? Or do we plan to dig graves and rob graves?"

"He has taken care of us for quite some time, so don't be so harsh."

"I'm telling the truth. He did give us a bowl of rice, but we also served him wholeheartedly and served him for many days. Are we just doing it to get a piece of rice?"

The argument between the two people echoed in his ears, and Wang Binshan felt a sharp pain that was as sharp as his heart.

"You go, I won't stop you. If you don't get along well and come back, although the life on the mountain will be difficult, at least you will have a mouthful of food. You can't eat enough to survive, but you won't starve to death."

Wang Binshan stood in front of the door, lingered for a long time, and suddenly said.

Zhang Jichen and Wang Jiansong were stunned for a moment. They looked up at Wang Binshan, only to see that the door was closed and Wang Binshan had returned to the house.

Under the corner on the other side, the shadow was like a ghost, quietly watching the three people arguing.

If you don't have the ability, you won't be able to take care of your brothers. Shadow can understand Wang Binshan's mentality.

He once had such an experience.

To this day, he still can't forget that time.

At the beginning, he was just a little beggar who got involved with a group of younger brothers. He thought he could do something big, but in the end he became a disciple of General Qin and General Qin by accident.

Just when he thought he had the ability to protect his brothers, General Qin asked him to sever ties with everyone.

He also asked angrily, and even begged that he only needed a mouthful of food, which did not require much resources.

However, General Qin did not give him any chance.

Eventually, he parted ways with his brothers.

The only difference is that Wang Binshan was broken up by his brothers, while he took the initiative to break up with his brothers.

Things in life are always full of all kinds of helplessness.

Zhang Hao walked back from outside, took two hurried bites of food, then asked Zhang Jichen and Wang Jiansong to close the door and walked out with a shadow.

"Brother, do you need us to follow you?"

Zhang Jichen and Wang Jiansong said cautiously.

After the two of them had eaten, they just stayed in the room in a daze. Instead of spending time here, they would rather stay with Zhang Hao and learn more.

However, Zhang Hao ignored the two of them and slammed the door.

"Keep an eye on the door for me!"

Zhang Hao's voice echoed in the courtyard, and Zhang Jichen and the two no longer dared to take any chances.

In the alley outside the courtyard, the shadow looked at the dim alley, a trace of curiosity flashed on his face.

"Zhang Hao, what happened?"

When Zhang Hao left in the morning, his expression was serious, but it was just normal. Nothing serious happened.

But it's different now.

From Zhang Hao's face, he saw a sense of oppression that was about to come.

Zhang Hao took him to a house at the end of the alley.

The alley is very rundown.

This courtyard wall is particularly dilapidated. Not only has almost all of the courtyard wall collapsed, but several rooms are also crumbling, as if they will collapse if a gust of wind blows.

In the southeast corner of the yard, there is a large vat.

At this time, there were strange gnawing sounds coming from the large tank, as if something was gnawing at the meat.

The shadow looked coldly at the water tank, and a gloomy cold light condensed between the palms of his hands.

When Zhang Hao saw this, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

As expected, Shadow still has methods that are of no use.

"In the water tank, get out when you hear what I say and don't let me do anything."

Shadow stood in front, not knowing that Zhang Hao was plotting against him. He stared at the water tank with all his attention, thinking that there was some danger in the water tank.

However, at this moment, a skinny hand stretched out from the water tank. In the trembling hand, there was a half-gnawed mouse.

"Don't kill me, I have nothing. If you want this mouse, I have more than a dozen and they are all for you to eat."

The old man's voice was extremely frightened and panicked.

The shadow looked shocked and rushed to the water tank and found an old man hiding in the water tank.

This old man was about 70 years old, and the sarcoma on his back had torn apart, as if something had come out of his back.

Blood continued to pour out from his back, but he didn't know anything and continued to bite the mouse.

Inside the water tank, half of the tank was filled with black and red blood. However, looking at the old man's condition, he didn't seem to be much hurt. (End of chapter)
