Chapter 957: Chapter 0957: There are Demons in the Mountains

Wang Xiaoya turned her head to look at the siblings busily working inside the house and whispered to Long Fei, "I’ve noticed that Xu Wei’s body seems to be different from that of a normal person. His meridians and flesh seem as if they’ve been forged."

Long Fei, sipping on his beverage, nodded, "That’s right, if I’m not mistaken, he must be a Demonizer."

"Ah?"

Wang Xiaoya was stunned. She had seen demons before.

"What’s a Demonizer?"

She asked.

Long Fei explained Liu Mang’s situation to Wang Xiaoya.

Wang Xiaoya listened intently, her brows furrowed, and pondered, "You mean, Xu Wei’s bloodline has been infected by the Demon Race?"

"That should be the case!"

Long Fei nodded, looking at the silhouettes inside, "Each Demonizer’s ability is different, some have bodily functions that mutate, others mutate in different ways. To clear this up, we’ll need to get answers from Liuu Wenhan."

Wang Xiaoya widened her eyes, somewhat confused.

Long Fei smiled as he explained, "Xu Wei clearly hasn’t discovered his own body’s special abilities yet. This stuff must have been brought back by Liuu Wenhan. The malevolent energy on Liuu Wenhan is also found only in those unclean places."

Wang Xiaoya suddenly understood, "You’re suggesting Liuu Wenhan has been to the Magic Cave?"

Long Fei nodded, "These are all guesses; we need to ask him to be sure."

Wang Xiaoya took a sip of her drink, never expecting such secrets to be hidden in this small mountain village.

Long Fei asked her, "The place your mother found, could it be related to the Magic Cave?"

"How could that be!"

Wang Xiaoya exclaimed.

Long Fei frowned, "I’ve been thinking, in this world besides these demons, what else could withstand the power of Mount Shu? What made your mother go through such great lengths, leaving you behind to seek help here?"

Wang Xiaoya fell silent and looked at him to ask, "If my mother has done something against the heavens, would you choose to be her enemy?"

Long Fei gently patted her head and didn’t say anything.

There was no choice in the matter; for whatever reason, Long Fei had no reason to sit by and do nothing.

Wang Xiaoya hung her head; every time, she faced such difficult choices.

Soon after, a commotion of a crowd was heard from outside.

Er Gouzi had called the village chief and a bunch of village officials over, leading a big fuss with a crowd of villagers following behind.

A group of people, about five or six, came in; the rest of the crowd gathered outside to watch the excitement.

Some village women fixed their gaze on Wang Xiaoya, evaluating her from head to toe, whispering among themselves, "Wow, this city bride is pretty!"

"This bride must be from Mizhi; people always say, ’the ladies of Mizhi, the men of Suide.’ Only the women of Mizhi can be this fair!"

The crowd laughed and cheered, eyeing Wang Xiaoya’s porcelain-white skin with envy.

Er Gouzi introduced the village chief and Long Fei to each other and moved some chairs out of the house to seat everyone.

The village chief dressed formally, in a shirt and army pants with a pen tucked into his pocket.

"My name is Xu Mancang, the village chief of Xu Family Gully. Er Gouzi tells me you want to build a road for our Xu Family Gully?"

He was of an advanced age, his white beard poking out, yet he seemed very energetic.

Long Fei smiled and said, "Yes, that’s right, I have such an intention."

The village chief, excited by the confirmation of the news, exclaimed, "Good, good man! Our Xu Family Gully really has been blessed. The villagers have long wanted to fix this road, but we’ve suffered from lack of funds!"

Long Fei asked, "Have you estimated the cost to build this road?"

The village chief nodded and said, "We’ve calculated it before, and contacted a construction team from the city before the New Year. Fixing the mountain road at Five-Mile Slope will cost at least five to six hundred thousand yuan. Our village isn’t wealthy, and everyone could only gather around fifty to sixty thousand yuan, which is far less than what is needed, so the road construction has always been put on hold."

Long Fei had built roads in Longjiawan Village and knew that the village chief’s quote wasn’t high.

The road up the Five-Mile Slope might not be long, but the cost on the mountain is quite high.

A bid of five hundred thousand yuan was already quite low.

He said to the village chief, "Village Chief Xu, go ahead and contact the construction team with this budget, and have them send me the quote. I’ll make the payment for them, and if there’s any money left, I’ll drill a few wells for our village and refurbish wherever needed."

Xu Mancang said excitedly, "That will cost you quite a bit of money, won’t it?"

Er Gouzi laughed from behind and called out, "Village Chief, he originally planned to invest a million, and this is only five hundred thousand! There’s plenty left over!"

Xu Mancang turned and scolded, "Er Gouzi, don’t talk nonsense. We people of Xu Family Gully may be poor, but we have to have some integrity. It’s his good will to do a charitable deed, we can’t use our poverty to hostage him."

Er Gouzi obediently shut his mouth, looking at Long Fei with an embarrassed hehehe and just laughed.

After a while, Xu Wei and Liuu Ruyan helped Liuu Wenhan walk out.

The villagers were all startled, exclaiming, "Look, the outsider can walk now."

"My god, how is this possible!"

"What’s going on? Hasn’t he been paralyzed for over a decade?"

Village Chief Xu Mancang was also full of surprise, standing up with a group of village officials, looking incredulously at this scene.

Liuu Ruyan said to Long Fei in a panic, "My dad insisted on coming out, and couldn’t be persuaded not to. This won’t cause any trouble, will it?"

Long Fei smiled and shook his head, exchanging glances with Liuu Wenhan.

Liuu Wenhan let go of both their hands and went down on his knees before Long Fei, his body trembling and not knowing what to say.

"A life-saving grace, unforgettable forever!"

He hadn’t spoken for many years, and it was very difficult for him to say even a sentence.

After all, he was a descendant of a prestigious family; even his speech was literary.

Today, Long Fei had already been knelt to by two people and quickly went to help him sit back down.

"It’s great that you can stand up and walk!"

Xu Mancang was extremely excited, pulling Xu Wei along and saying, "Xu Wei, your uncle is so happy for you, you’ve finally made it through."

Xu Wei nodded with a smile, having carried this burden for years without having been involved with anyone.

Young people in the village were already holding their own children by now.

Now, the poorest family in the village had suddenly become the phoenix’s nest.

No one expected that Xu Wei’s relatives were so wealthy, casually speaking of a million!

The village officials immediately brought over dried dates and walnuts, inviting everyone to start eating in the courtyard.

Xu Mancang grabbed a handful for Long Fei, incessantly praising Xu Wei, saying the boy had been impressive since childhood.

At the age of nine, going up the mountain and into the river, he was more fierce than the adults.

Xu Wei, being praised this way, felt embarrassed, scratching his head and just laughing awkwardly.

Long Fei still had some questions he needed to verify with Liuu Wenhan, so after chatting with the village chief for a while, he asked him to go back and compile a list of projects the village needed to rebuild.

Xu Mancang knew there must be important things to discuss.

Since Long Fei had readily promised, he had no more worries.

He called the villagers to say goodbye to Long Fei, saying they would visit tomorrow and make a pot of lamb stew to treat him well.

Long Fei smiled as he saw them off, and the lively courtyard quieted down after a while.
