"It's fine," Ye Kong interrupted him and said, "But you are wrong to say that you have no family and no one cares about you. You have a family now, and your mother, Bai Jie 'er, is still in Wu Country's Cloud Talisman Sect and misses you. Actually, your mother and I care about you very much. You can be at ease now that you have both your parents. "
"That's right." Patriarch Acheron immediately realized that something was wrong. What did he mean by having both his parents? Did he admit that this kid was his father?
Patriarch Acheron was instantly annoyed and said, "Kid, you're taking advantage of me again!"
Ye Kong laughed and said, "You're the one who's stupid." Seeing that Patriarch Acheron was about to explode again, Ye Kong quickly changed the topic and said, "Since Miss Xiao Ying knows my true identity, for her and our safety, we can't let her stay in Southern City."
Patriarch Acheron had already thought about this matter and said, "Originally, I extorted 10,000 taels of silver from the Zhao Family to give Xiao Ying some living expenses. Now, it seems that I can't keep her … But it's fine to bring her along. Anyway, we're wandering around, and it's more convenient for us to gather information with a woman."
Ye Kong said, "That's fine, but you can't make such a big noise every night in the future. Otherwise, I'll be unlucky along the way."
Patriarch Acheron said, "Didn't you say that I can't do it? I'm letting you know my power!"
Ye Kong was quite curious and asked, "Patriarch, tell me what tricks you have up your sleeves. I don't believe that your inch-long sparrow can make such a big noise."
Patriarch Acheron laughed proudly and said, "It's a secret."
That afternoon, Ye Kong and Patriarch Acheron set off with Xiao Ying. The old mammy gave her a sum of money, and she went away happily. Even the neighbor who let them stay received a good sum of money.
They hailed a car and left Southern City, heading north in the direction of Andu. There was no rush to find someone, and there was no fixed route. As long as they came across a town, they would stop and stay for a few days. After a few more days, they would ask around in the surrounding villages before continuing their journey.
Ye Kong's method was also very simple. If he went to the village, he would go and ask those children if there were any strangers in the past few years. In this world, the truth from the mouth of a child was much more than that of an adult. Especially when Ye Kong took out a bunch of sweets, those children would rush to answer.
If he arrived at the town, he would look for the martial arts gangs in the town. There were gangs in every town. As long as he used some tricks, those martial arts gangs would quickly inquire about it.
Moreover, Ye Kong believed that if the Lu brothers were still alive, they would definitely join these martial arts gangs. In this way, they would be able to find his mother and the Lu brothers.
Just like that, he searched village after village, city after city.
One month passed.
Two months passed.
Three months had passed.
…
Clear Canal Village was named after a clear canal in the village.
This place was located at the junction of Huangzhou and Yuan Zhou. It faced the mountains and was remote. It could be said to be a remote and desolate village, a place where even rabbits would not defecate.
Generally, Ye Kong would not miss these places. The more remote the village, the more likely it was a hiding place for people in distress.
On this day, a young man and woman walked into the village entrance, accompanied by a luxuriously dressed young master.
Ye Kong walked in front of them on the bluestone slabs. Behind him, Xiao Ying and Acheron held hands and followed.
"Hey, kid, I think it's better to let Xiao Ying walk side by side with you. I'll follow behind." Ancestor Acheron suddenly said.
Ye Kong slowed down and asked curiously, "Xiao Ying is your woman. If I walk side by side with her, won't people misunderstand that we are husband and wife?"
"Alas, that's still better than now." Ancestor Acheron sighed, "If I walk side by side with her hand in hand, people will misunderstand that she is my mother."
"Look at what you're saying." Xiao Ying could not help but chuckle, "Am I that old?"
Ye Kong also laughed and said, "If I walk side by side with Xiao Ying, it will be even worse. People will misunderstand that we are your parents."
"Go to hell!" Ancestor Acheron roared angrily.
The three laughed and joked as they walked into Clear Canal Village. They originally thought that this village was inaccessible and remote, so they thought that it must be very poor.
But after entering the village, they discovered that it was not so. The village's roads were paved with neat bluestone slabs. There were many shops on both sides of the road. Some of them looked quite imposing. It was as if this was not a village, but more prosperous than a small town.
"Is this Clear Canal Village?" Xiao Ying slowed down and asked doubtfully.
"Nonsense. It's not like you didn't see the boundary plate at the village entrance." Ancestor Acheron said.
Ye Kong also said, "It is indeed Clear Canal Village. But along the way, we have never seen such a rich village. It is close to the mountains, and there are no big cities around it. How can it be rich?"
Ancestor Acheron looked around and said, "En, it is a little strange. Look over there, there is actually a large brothel. Oh my god, there is such a big brothel in a small village."
Before Ancestor Acheron could finish his words, the back of his hand was pinched by Xiao Ying to the point of pain, "Hmph, so young and already so lecherous. You only have eyes for brothels."
Ancestor Acheron grinned from being pinched, but he looked very happy. He did not care that they were on the street and pinched Xiao Ying's plump buttocks.
Xiao Ying immediately scolded, "Are you courting death? This is the street!"
"Haha, there is no one on the street."
When Ancestor Acheron finished speaking, the three suddenly thought of something. Their expressions suddenly became nervous.
That's right, such a bustling village should be bustling with people at this moment. But why is there not even a shadow of a ghost?
"Could it be a ghost village?" Ancestor Acheron muttered.
"Ah!" Xiao Ying was so scared that her beautiful face turned pale. She cried out and hid behind Ancestor Acheron.
"What's so scary about ghosts? The scary ones are people!" Ye Kong said as he took the lead to walk into the village. He saw that the shops on both sides of the road were all closed.
Ye Kong leaned against the wooden door of a smithy and listened carefully. When he heard movement inside, he knocked on the door and shouted, "Hey, is there someone at home? Passerby, find some water to drink."
Someone immediately shouted from inside, "No water, no water, hurry up and get lost! Plague man! "
Ancestor Acheron was furious when he heard that, "Damn you, this father wants water to drink. Even if you don't give it to me, don't scold me!"
Ancestor Acheron took the artefact and wanted to smash the door open. But he was stopped by Ye Kong, "Forget it, there must be something strange here. Let's go forward and take a look."
They went to a few more shops and found that there were people inside, but they refused to open the door.
"Hey, the door in front is open." Xiao Ying said as she pointed to an open shop in front.
"Let's go and take a look."
