A few of the young people in the village rushed to say yes.
Bo Wen was very tactful, and seeing that his counterpart was giving him a way out, he rushed to keep up.
His eyes were shining, since that place was really rich!
He quickly calculated in his mind that if he could establish trade with the village, then the profits would be..
The old man's expression didn't change, as though he hadn't heard that cold snort.
He turned to Chen Mu with a smile, "There aren't many rules in the village, and although this is called a party, it's really messy. Please forgive us."
Sorting out the genealogies and files was a very dry matter, but Kitt never got tired of it.
He never played with the other children in the village, and although he was young, he had developed a rare calm temperament, which was very much liked by the clan elder.
He was also known as the most knowledgeable person in the village, though not everyone liked him.
In an atmosphere where power was revered and pursued, no one apart from Kitt wanted to spend time on things like genealogies and files that couldn't increase power.
The other one looked a little gloomy, with a sinister look in his eyes. His eyes were long and narrow, and his gaze was like a thorn when he opened and closed, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Conrad was mainly in charge of discipline, and if there was any dispute in the village, he would be the final judge. The clan elder wouldn't get involved in that.
The people around him were rather afraid of Conrad, and even Li Duhong was well-behaved in front of him.
There were all kinds of defensive card appliances distributed all around the small auditorium, which could almost be called a card appliance exhibition.
Chen Mu was carefully sizing up the card appliances, having never seen so many before.
The shapes of these card appliances were all different. The most common one was a card appliance made up of countless cannon barrels.
A neat row of gun barrels formed an array, pointing toward the sky.
Since he couldn't see their internal composition, Chen Mu had no way of determining how they would attack.
But those thick metal barrels were enough to make anyone's heart palpitate.
With a cursory glance, there were at least hundreds of card appliances piled up around the auditorium.
Wei-ah's expression didn't change, as though he hadn't heard.
Chen Mu tactfully didn't respond, not caring if Wei-ah was the number one ace in the village.
But if it was because of that matter that many people were disgusted with him, then it wouldn't be worth it.
Unlike the country bumpkin Chen Mu, Bo Wen's gaze was a lot more sinister.
After just a little while, his expression became a little strange.
How was this a remote and desolate place?
The hall was noisy. Apart from the curious gazes that floated over from time to time, basically no one came up to disturb them.
Once he saw Chen Mu, the dream he'd had when he'd been unconscious involuntarily floated before his eyes, and his gaze immediately evaded.
"This is little San.
That day, he coincidentally met all of you, so he wanted to observe them in secret. He didn't expect that it would cause a misunderstanding between the two sides, and he was extremely regretful.
Today, I specially asked him to apologize to all of you, "the old man said with a pained expression.
For example, a grill that could adjust the temperature was a typical card appliance.
Making ice buckets was also very interesting.
It looked no different from an ordinary bucket. It only took three minutes for the water inside to freeze into ice cubes.
Then, the villagers poured the ice cubes in the bucket onto a piece of felt. Then, they used a slender light knife to cut the big ice cubes into small pieces.
"Hehe, sorry for the poor hospitality. I can't believe I let Mr. Chen starve. I'm ashamed.
The old man had an apologetic look on his face.
To the side, Alphonso looked unhappy, having just been scolded by the clan elder, and of course he wasn't happy.
He didn't understand why the clan elder was so nice to such an ordinary young man.
"Oh." The old man's eyes lit up, "Mr. Chen and Wei-ah get along well?
That's great.
Wei-ah is the number one ace in our village, and the two of you are both young talents, so of course you should get along well. "
Chen Mu smiled, "You're too polite.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to taste Wei-ah's cooking, which would have been a real pity. "
Since he'd just gnawed on a deer leg from Wei-ah, Chen Mu didn't have much of an appetite.
He casually ate some fruits. The sweetness of the fruits here couldn't be compared to those sold in Eastern Shang-Wei City.
He was more interested in some of the little things there.
Wei-ah's expression was calm, without the slightest unnaturalness.
He led Chen Mu through the crowd, and they quickly arrived at the deepest part of the hall.
Some of the important people in the village were waiting for them. Chen Mu saw the old man he'd met at the entrance of the village, standing impressively in the middle of the crowd.
Even someone as slow as Chen Mu understood the old man's position in the village.
Bo Wen and Cheng Ying had already arrived, while Li Duhong stayed obediently by Bo Wen's side.
Wei-ah and Chen Mu walked into the small hall.
The domed ceiling made people feel that the space inside was even wider, and the white stone pillars were engraved with a lot of designs that Chen Mu couldn't understand.
The ceiling was inlaid with lamps that were like stars, illuminating the hall like snow.
Wei-ah was still expressionless, and Chen Mu very consciously followed him.
Wherever Wei-ah went, the villagers would automatically make way for him, and the frolicking children wouldn't bother him. The strangest thing was that no one actually dared to greet Wei-ah.
Chen Mu smiled bitterly to himself, since it looked like that guy wasn't very popular.
Instead, he received quite a few curious looks.
Someone in the crowd gave a light snort, clearly not satisfied with the old man saying that Wei-ah was the number one ace in the village.
Even the middle-aged men next to the old man had ugly expressions on their faces.
Bo Wen didn't know the taste of his food, and Chen Mu was already half full. Among the three of them, only Cheng Ying was eating happily.
The food there was delicious, and she had never eaten such delicious food.
Little Three wasn't very tall, only about five feet five, a little shorter than Cheng Ying, but he looked extremely lean, with long hands and feet, and a lively look in his eyes.
He was about to salute when Bo Wen rushed to stop him, saying with a smile, "Since it was a misunderstanding, then both sides are in the wrong.
What little brother Little Three is doing is making things more difficult for us.
Ha ha, no discord, no concord, and to be able to make so many friends, the few of us already feel extremely lucky. "
"Is this the guest who wounded little Three, the clan elder?" Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded out.
The little guy's eyes lit up when he saw Chen Mu and Wei-ah.
The hall was a boiling cauldron of voices, with the villagers in groups of three or four, relaxing and discussing, with cheerful music floating around, and the excited screams of the children.
"Ha ha, that makes sense!
That makes sense! "Only Ba Fu's clear voice could be heard," No discord, no concord!
You youngsters should be more affectionate to these little brothers.
There's always a higher mountain, and it's always a good thing for young people to see more of the world. "
The level of metal smelting there was very high, and all the tableware was made of metal, each of which was carved with a fine and beautiful pattern.
Looking around, almost every villager's neck would have a gem or something, which made Bo Wen's eyeballs fall out.
Those gems weren't that big of a deal, but if thousands of villagers all had one or more hanging around their necks, Bo Wen would feel like he was going crazy.
And then there was the flooring, each of which was completely polished from zebra stone.
The black and white stripes on the body of a zebra declared their expensive status.
Outside, each piece of such zebra stone flooring would have a sky-high price.
In his house, only a small place like the collection room would have that kind of expensive flooring.
But here, good lord, the entire great hall was made of that kind of flooring that was even more expensive than gold.
Only then did Chen Mu size up the few middle-aged men beside the old man. Each of them had a serious bearing, and one could see that they were people with real power.
What drew Chen Mu's attention the most were three people.
One was a white-haired old man with a very ruddy complexion, full of energy when he spoke, and looking very spirited.
His name was Ba Fu, and he was the village elder in charge of training the younger generation.
Every one of the younger generation would be taught by him when they were young.
Bo Wen and the others kept on saying what they were, and kept on praising the lively atmosphere.
"Let's go, we can't let our honored guests starve. You should also have a taste of what we have in the village, and see if you can get used to it." The clan elder joked with a smile.
Each of those card appliances was huge, and to a rookie like Chen Mu, they were still quite a deterrent.
It was quite a sight to put them all together.
The one who drew the least attention was a calm-looking young man, who was also the only one at the clan elder's side who didn't look over thirty.
His gaze was as calm as ever, and he gave people the feeling that he was easy to get along with.
Kit was the youth in charge of the genealogy archives in the village.
His family was the most special one in the village, and his ancestor had been appointed to be in charge of the genealogy archives.
From then on, that responsibility had been passed down, and the person in charge of the genealogy archives was bound to come from his family.
And Kit had been in charge of the genealogy since he was seven years old.
He was already twenty-five years old, a full eighteen years.
Little Three's gaze on Chen Mu was a little unnatural.
His injuries had worsened from his continuous running that day, and once he got back to the village, he fell into a coma.
In his coma, Chen Mu's ghostly figure was like a nightmare, following him like a shadow, chasing him until he was almost out of breath.
