C47 Barefooted Yellow

and Xue Yu both had a belly full of fire that they could not vent. Previously, they were still afraid because the Da Hui was too fierce, but now that the Da Hui had taken away the broken Hei Bao's body, the two of them immediately got angry.

The two of them chased after the Da Hui tirelessly for a long time. The Da Hui was in their line of sight the entire time, and there were a few times where it was almost knocked over by him and Xue Yu, but it was still just a little bit away. It was too nimble, turning around quickly, even with a dog head bigger than its head in its mouth. If they did not, Wen Que and Xue Yu would not even be able to touch his fart.

They chased the Da Hui all the way up the mountain from the riverbank. When Wen Que and Xue Yu climbed up the mountain, the had already disappeared.

The two of them rested for a moment. After recovering some energy, they both decided to search around the vicinity again. Only now did they realise that Chu Chi was not following them, and ran off to who knows where.

Chu Chi did not follow along the same path as Wen Que and the others from the start, and under the lead of Crow, they entered the forest.

With the advantage of Crow following him from above, he followed closely behind the Da Hui. Finally, when they arrived at a certain spot, the crow stopped. Chu Chi found some blood on a nearby grass and knew that the Da Hui was nearby.

The surroundings were empty and flat. A trail of blood extended to a dead tree stump the size of two people's arms. This dead tree had been burned before. Its exterior and inner wall were both black. It was probably the older tree, but its insides were already decayed.

Chu Chi carefully approached and peeked his head in. Sure enough, Da Hui was hiding in the pile and was eating the head of the Hei Bao, it bit open the skull and its scarlet tongue licked the white brain inside, bringing a fishy smell that made people want to puke.

This scene verified Chu Chi's deduction.

The Hei Bao was an old dog with intelligence. It had died not long ago and the heavenly Earthly Soul was still alive.

However, eating humans was more effective than eating dogs to develop one's intelligence. In the eyes of the demons, humans were the true nutrients. However, humans were still the beloved children of heaven and earth. They were born with the instinct to protect themselves, so it was not easy for the demons to eat humans.

But with the Da Hui's speed of growth, it wouldn't take long before it started eating people.

The Da Hui was engrossed in eating, and did not realize that there was someone right outside of the withered tree trunk. Chu Chi slowly reached his right hand into his chest to take the Blood-Stealing Bronze Blade, preparing to finish it right here.

Just as the fierce light in Chu Chi's eyes grew stronger, the crow that had landed on the lookout spot let out a warning and flew away with its wings flapping, Chu Chi had no choice but to run away quickly.

If Wen Que and Xue Yu came, Crow would not make a sound. Only if they were strangers would Crow warn them.

Chu Chi hid into the bushes and saw a weird-looking looking old man walk out from the woods. In the cold weather, he was actually barefooted and had no rules in walking, he was bouncing around like a child.

The barefoot old man walked over to the pile of trees and looked inside. He took out a bamboo tube from behind him and opened it, then bent down to pour his hand inside. He then poured the brown liquid into the tube for the Da Hui to drink.

The Da Hui raised its head and licked its lips.

"Drink obediently, eat obediently …" The barefoot old man continued to feed them as he smilingly reached out his hand to touch the Da Hui.

The Da Hui was only concerned with drinking, the smell of the thing seemed to be very good, it was not willing to waste a single drop, it licked and drank everything, it did not care about the petting of the barefoot old man at all.

Could it be that the barefoot old man was the true owner of the Da Hui?

Chu Chi calculated in his heart. If the Da Hui still had a master, then he would be facing a Monster Keeping Master. The danger level of a Monster Keeping Master was much greater than a mere Demon.

After the barefoot old man finished feeding the Da Hui, he brought it out from the hole in the dead tree. The Da Hui seemed to have no more strength left, its eyes were half closed and half awake, still being manipulated by the barefooted old man.

The barefoot old man carried it, his face revealing a happy expression, he started humming a dialect song that Chu Chi did not understand, and walked back the way he came.

Chu Chi slowly crept behind him, all the way to the river bank, where the barefoot old man found a shallow place in the river and started swimming towards the other side.

However, just as he reached the center, the Da Hui broke free from his embrace and jumped into the water. In a few steps, it dived into the deep water and the barefoot old man ran after it. The water had already reached his waist.

He looked around in the water, yet the Da Hui seemed to have disappeared in the water and didn't come out for a long time.

The barefoot old man pounded his chest and stomped his feet, he was so angry that he cried out. He walked to the shore and searched back and forth along the river, but did not find any traces of Da Hui.

Chu Chi could see everything clearly from the shore. He could not figure out why the Da Hui suddenly ran away, but logically speaking, it was impossible for a demon under his control to escape the control of the Monster Keeping Master.

Could it be that Monster Keeping Master is a newbie?

The barefoot old man was truly unable to find the Da Hui, so he gloomily went home. Chu Chi asked the crow to look around once more, and the Da Hui completely disappeared without a trace.

Just as they were about to follow the barefoot old man and get to the bottom of things, Wen Que and Xue Yu discovered him.

"I didn't go anywhere, I followed you guys to look for Da Hui, but I couldn't find them, so I waited by the river for you guys." Seeing that someone was worried, Chu Chi's heart felt warm.

"Don't wander around, there's no one in the vicinity of the village for dozens of miles. If you leave now, you'll lose yourself. Without the help of the Hei Bao, we wouldn't be able to find you …" Xue Yu choked as he spoke.

Chu Chi did not know how to comfort him, and patted his shoulder.

It was already late in the night, and all the families in the village were preparing dinner. Smoke was rising in the air. Wen Que told Chu Chi to follow him home for dinner. Chu Chi was not in a position to refuse. He would let Crow follow the barefoot old man, while he followed Wen Que home.

Wen Que instructed Chu Chi not to tell his family about what happened in the river today, so as not to worry his parents, Chu Chi agreed.

On the way back, Chu Chi asked Wen Que about whether there was any barefoot old man in the village.

Wen Que said that there was only a barefoot old man in the village who lived on the other side of the river. Everyone in the village called him Barefooted Huang.

Barefooted Huang was a village's Half Immortal, his divination was especially accurate. Even though he was drunk all year round, the moment he opened his mouth, the words he spoke would come out in gold. The things he said would definitely happen.

The reason he was called Barefooted Huang was because he did not wear shoes all year round. What was even more amazing was that he did not wash his feet at all.

He used to be a foreigner, but for some reason, he remained in the village. As for his past, the villagers knew very little about him.

Only now did Chu Chi remember that the name "Barefooted Huang" had already been heard several times, and was not unfamiliar with it.

The two of them chatted as they entered the room. Wen Que's mother had already prepared lunch, it was even more sumptuous than lunch.

When Chu Chi smelled the fragrance, he started drooling.

A middle aged man with a beard that looked similar to Wen Que, but had an additional vicissitudes of life sat down. Without needing to introduce him, Chu Chi could guess that this person was Wen Que's father, Wen Yi.

"Are you a classmate from Wen Que City?" In the seats, Wen Yi asked Chu Chi.

Chu Chi vaguely acknowledged.

"Your school allows you to have such long hair?" Wen Yi asked again.

Chu Chi raised his head and looked at Wen Que, "Let's go to our school, it is not very strict …"

"It's not easy to find our village, how did you find it alone?" Wen Yi continued to ask.

"Dad, I came here with great difficulty, is it fun to ask all sorts of questions?" Wen Que hurriedly saved him. Honestly speaking, Chu Chi's appearance was indeed rather strange, but he had helped him time and time again, so he trusted Chu Chi quite a bit.

"That's right, let's all hurry up and eat. The food is already cold." Wen Que's mother tried to smooth things over.

Wen Yi did not continue the line of questioning.

It wasn't until after they finished eating that Chu Chi finally heaved a sigh of relief. Everyone could see that Wen Yi wasn't friendly with him, but he couldn't leave now.

"Student, tomorrow morning, leave as you please. This place doesn't welcome you." Wen Yi said to Chu Chi the moment he put down the tableware.

Chu Chi was stunned for a moment. Everyone said that the villagers were diligent and honest, they treated their guests well, he had never seen a person like Wen Yi who directly chased people away.

"Dad, you …" Wen Que was also stunned.

"Follow me." Without waiting for Wen Que to say anything, Wen Yi headed towards the ancestral hall. When he walked, he limped, and only now did Chu Chi realize that he was actually a cripple.

"Don't take it to heart, I'll talk to my dad again." Wen Que softly said to Chu Chi, and then followed Wen Yi into the Ancestral Hall.

After that, Wen Yi closed the entrance to the ancestral hall.

Chu Chi didn't care about Wen Yi's attitude towards him. To him who had been wandering outside for a long time, he had received too many cold words.

Forget about the Flower Girl, another important reason was that the appearance of Monster Keeping Master in the village was definitely not a good thing for the entire village.

The crow that went to follow Barefooted Huang came back flapping its wings, Chu Chi's eyes turned and looked at the Wen Family Ancestral Temple.
