Ren Feng saw an extrely vast valley before him, which could even be considered a plain, and across this plain, a large river flowed through.
Taijiang Village was built along this river.
The nearly entire plain was Taijiang Village.
From his horse, Ren Feng looked down at the enormous Taijiang Village and was sowhat in awe. It was like a city revealed after a sudden enlightennt; the whole village was very orderly, resembling a symtrical eight-trigram formation.
Moreover, the entire Taijiang Village was built from wood. Seen from above, it looked like stacks of wooden platforms winding upward, with great layers and beauty.
"Giddyup!"
Liang Keqing gently shouted, and the horse beneath her slowly headed downward.
Not far along, suddenly a dozen or so figures ran towards them.
"Keqing!"
A man shouted loudly.
"Hey, I'm here!"
Liang Keqing waved her hands happily, her face full of excitent.
Ren Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, finally reaching Taijiang Village. It indeed wasn't easy, having spent so much ti on the road.
In this village, could he find what he was looking for?
Ren Feng pondered internally, while the man who shouted, along with others, hurried over.
"I'm here."
Liang Keqing smiled happily as she saw them approaching.
Those who ca were a few n from Taijiang Village, all Miao race, dressed in Miao attire, also holding so handmade ironware.
"Miao Wei, did you co to pick up?" Liang Keqing was quite pleased, "Just in ti, I've been really exhausted lately."
Miao Wei's face was originally very happy, but upon seeing Ren Feng on horseback, his expression imdiately turned gloomy, and he frowned.
"Keqing, who is he?"
Miao Wei pointed at Ren Feng and said.
"Oh, he's a friend I t outside. He helped and wanted to co to Miaojiang for dical treatnt, so I brought him along," Liang Keqing said with a smile.
"Keqing, don't you know the village's rules? The elders once said, no outsiders are allowed in our village! What you're doing will have you punished under village rules."
Seeing this, Ren Feng grinned and said, "Friend, I'm sorry, you might have misunderstood sothing."
With that, he dismounted from the horse.
Liang Keqing frowned slightly: "He's my friend. He helped , so I should help him in return. What's wrong with that? If there's any punishnt needed, I'll take it."
"Oh, Keqing, you!"
Miao Wei seed to be angered.
"Fine, considering you ca to pick up, I won't get mad. But Ren Feng is my friend, and you're not allowed to make a fuss about it," said Liang Keqing.
Ren Feng felt a sense of warmth inside. Liang Keqing truly had a chivalrous spirit, was very righteous, and was remarkably innocent, as if untouched by the Jianghu, inexperienced in the world.
"Keqing, you know about the incidents that happened in our village before, no outsider man can be trusted."
"Miao Wei, those were decades ago, and besides, it's not fair to generalize. If Ren Feng hadn't helped , I might have taken several more days to return."
Miao Wei was visibly anxious, as a man beside him tugged at him and then asked with a smile: "Sister Keqing, why did you go out again?"
"Just went for a bit of fun, and to buy so things to keep up with the outside world," Liang Keqing said, taking out a beautiful bracelet and handing it to that man.
"Mr. Jiang, here, consider this a gift for your wife."
"Sister Keqing, you're too kind."
Mr. Jiang smiled and accepted the gift without much refusal.
"Alright, let's go back. I've been out for over a month," Liang Keqing said, with a trace of excitent on her face.
The group headed towards the village, and Ren Feng followed, with Miao Wei beside him.
"Your na is Ren Feng, right?" Miao Wei said coldly.
"Hello," Ren Feng replied with a smile.
"Enough with the 'hello, hello', I don't want to play your insincere gas," Miao Wei suddenly grabbed Ren Feng's collar. "I need to tell you sothing!"
"Miao Wei, what are you doing?" suddenly called Liang Keqing from the front, turning her head.
"Oh, I saw your friend looking a bit frail and wanted to check if I could get him so herbs as a welco gift," Miao Wei said with a smile, holding Ren Feng's shoulder.
"Oh, don't bully him, he's just an ordinary person."
"Don't worry, Keqing," Miao Wei said with a smile, but when Liang Keqing turned back, his expression beca extrely cold again.
"As an outsider, intruding into Miaojiang, you are to be punished,"
Ren Feng said calmly: "Is that so?"
Now he understood, Miao Wei seed to have feelings for Liang Keqing, thus targeting him. Initially, he considered resolving this, but seeing Miao Wei's attitude, he must have been resented.
An undeserved disaster.
"I will report your matter to the elders, and they will deal with it then," Miao Wei sneered, "and one more thing!"
Miao Wei suddenly lifted Ren Feng's collar again, speaking nacingly in close range, "Stay away from Keqing, or I'll make sure you regret it."
Ren Feng calmly looked at him, Miao Wei snorted coldly and released him, then followed the group.
The group walked into Taijiang Village, and Ren Feng glanced around, extrely amazed at the well-paved ground of the village, made from top-quality stones.
There were various people of the Miao Race around, won washing vegetables by the river, old people wearing headgear and walking with sticks leisurely, and also children playing pranks together.
The entire Taijiang Village was full of vitality.
"Sister Keqing, did you bring any gifts?"
A little girl saw Liang Keqing on horseback and imdiately ran over with a smile, showing her two little canine teeth.
"Of course, look, this is called chocolate, it's very tasty,"
Liang Keqing took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to the little girl.
"Sister Keqing, you're the best."
The little girl happily left, followed by a group of exuberant children.
"Sister Keqing, I want so too."
" too."
"Go away, you all, stay aside."
Miao Wei frowned and said.
"It's okay, there's enough for everyone,"
Liang Keqing smiled and took out all the chocolate, distributing it to the children.
Ren Feng watched from behind, seeing Liang Keqing smiling sweetly; she was indeed kind-hearted and very rare.
After distributing, the group continued forward, with Ren Feng observing the village along the way.
Before long, they reached a stone bridge, and Liang Keqing dismounted, walking ahead, followed by Miao Wei and the group, when suddenly, over a dozen youths appeared on the opposite side of the bridge.
"Miao Wei, why don't you stay on your side of the village and co to ours?" a Miao race man, arms crossed, said coldly.
