Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times
Chapter 55 Stockade
After everyone had rested, Wang Zeting led them toward the direction of the Yang Gang.
On the way, Ye Yu looked at the wounds on Wang Zeting's body and asked, "Have you used up all the protective charms your family gave you?"
Wang Zeting shook his head: "I didn't bring it with me."
"Why not use it? Your family spent a lot of money on it." Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
"I can't become dependent on amulets. Although they can save my life in a crisis, they will eventually run out of power."
"You have great perseverance."
Wang Zeting shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't let myself get carried away."
Then, he changed the subject: "However, the amulets you make are quite famous in our unit. If my grandfather hadn't emphasized that you must not be exposed, I guess many people would have come to you by now."
"How did you become famous in your unit?" Ye Yu asked.
"It's all because of Li Dashu's big mouth. We were on a very dangerous mission before, and I gave everyone a talisman. After we got back from the mission, he went around telling everyone about it. Our leader took it very seriously when he found out. He talked to me and asked me to contact my family after the mission was completed to see if I could arrange a meeting with our leader."
Ye Yu chuckled and said, "Your leader thinks too highly of me."
Although Ye Yu spoke modestly, what she was thinking was: This is a ready-made relationship. With the country backing her, her family can be better protected.
"I hope you will seriously consider this," Wang Zeting continued.
Ye Yu nodded: "Let's see after things are resolved here."
As they talked, they walked for more than an hour before stopping at a mountain hollow.
Wang Zeting observed the surrounding environment: "It should be around here."
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to scatter and search in all directions.
A moment later, A-Jie's voice came from not far away. He shouted, "Come and look ahead!"
The group walked over to him and looked in the direction he was pointing. There was a village at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Zeting carefully examined the terrain: "That should be Yangbang's territory."
From the direction Ye Yu and the others were looking, the village was built right on the border line.
"Is Yangbang in the village?" Liu Jiamu asked, somewhat puzzled.
“This is too strange. This village looks like a place where ethnic minorities live. How could the Yangbang be established in this village?” A-Jie said.
"Let's go down and take a look first."
Ye Yu turned to look at Wang Zeting and the other three: "You guys rest here and wait for me. I'll come find you after I've taken care of things."
Wang Zeting looked steadily at Ye Yu and said, "We'll go with you. But we won't go into the village; we'll wait for you outside. If anything unexpected happens, we can come to your aid."
Knowing they wanted to help, Ye Yu didn't refuse anymore and nodded, saying, "Okay."
So the group headed straight for the village at the foot of the mountain.
The village where Yangbang is located is not large, but it looks very distinctive.
The village gate was tightly closed, with a bull's head hanging above it, giving it an air of mystery.
There were two people dressed in ethnic minority costumes patrolling outside the gate, each carrying a gun.
They were quite surprised to see Ye Yu walking forward alone. After all, this place was deep in the jungle, and few people could find it. Moreover, Ye Yu was a girl who had actually come here alone.
The two men, guns drawn and highly alert, pointed at Ye Yu and asked, "Who are you? How did you find this place?"
Ye Yu said expressionlessly, "Hasn't your boss been looking for me? Now I've delivered myself to your doorstep."
The two exchanged a glance, seemingly unaware of what was going on.
The next second, as they turned to look at Ye Yu, they saw her wave her right hand, and two beams of white light shot towards them.
Ye Yu waved his hand to retrieve the two bone needles that had been thrown out, then spread his divine sense and realized that there was no one behind the gate. So he pushed the gate open and went inside.
Upon entering the village gate, you can see some stilted bamboo and wood houses, mainly built with grass, bamboo and wood as the main building materials.
The first floor consists of some pillars, which contain miscellaneous items and firewood. The second floor is probably where the people live.
Ye Yu walked past several rows of houses and suddenly noticed that there were people in one of them. She walked downstairs and listened to their conversation.
An aged voice asked, "How is the priest's health?"
"Sigh, not good. I've only had a little water so far," the other person replied.
They were speaking in dialect, but thankfully Ye Yu had been in Hong City for so long that she could understand them.
Then the old voice said again, "This won't do. If the priest doesn't eat, his body will soon give out."
“But when I asked Yue Yong for some medicine, he said he didn’t have any. I asked him to let me go up the mountain to pick some herbs, but he wouldn’t let me leave the village. I had no choice.”
"That damned bastard! If we had known he was such a heartless scoundrel, the priest should never have saved him in the first place. He should have just let him fend for himself. Our village wouldn't be suffering the consequences of his gang's actions now."
"Sigh, no, I have to think of a way."
Ye Yu listened to their conversation from downstairs, thought for a moment, then flew up to the roof and gently knocked on the door.
"Who?"
The two people inside immediately became alert.
"I'm here to help you?"
They didn't open the door immediately. They looked at each other, and the middle-aged man, following the old man's instructions, carefully stepped forward and opened the door.
Seeing Ye Yu standing casually at the door with a backpack, he asked in confusion, "You're not from here, how did you get in?"
"I'm here to find the Yang Gang? They tried to kill me and steal my things. Of course I'm coming back to take revenge."
The man turned and glanced at the old man inside the house. Seeing the old man nod, he turned back to Ye Yu and said, "Come in first."
Ye Yu entered the room, and the man immediately closed the door.
He asked Ye Yu, "How can we trust that you're here to help us?"
"I've already killed the two guards at the gate. They both have two bloody holes in their heads. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves."
Ye Yu pointed to her brow and said.
The old man stood up, pushed open a window behind him, and stretched his cane out to knock on the window opposite.
The window was opened by a boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
The old man whispered to him, "Aye, go outside the village gate and see if those two guards are dead. Be quiet and don't let anyone find out."
The boy named Aye nodded, quietly closed the window, and disappeared.
The old man turned around and looked Ye Yu up and down without saying a word.
Ye Yu knew he was waiting for news of the boy from earlier, and looked down at the charcoal fire in the room.
A short while later, a soft knock sounded at the door. The middle-aged man stepped forward and opened the door, and A-Ye slipped into the room.
The old man looked up at him, and A-Ye didn't say anything, only nodded.
Seeing him nod, the old man and the middle-aged man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The old man looked at Ye Yu and asked, "You're all alone, how can you help us?"
