Chapter 205 [The Brave Who Poses the Honeycomb's Neck]

Chen Xue appeared in Zhang Yang's field of vision wearing a light gray T-shirt, light blue jeans, and a red backpack. She took a temporary leave from school and hurried back to Chunyang. She did not expect to meet Zhang Yang here. Her bright eyes like autumn water were still calm, just like a completely stranger in front of her.

Zhang Yang was already used to her gaze and smiled and said, "Chen Xue, I'll come to see your grandpa!"

Chen Xue nodded: "Where is my grandfather?"

"I'm looking for him too!"

Chen Xue came to the stone house and found that the door was locked. She opened the door and saw that her grandfather's hunting rifle was not on the wall. It seemed that he might have gone hunting. The desk was also very messy. The ink traces in the inkstone had already dried up. It was obvious that Chen Chongshan had not written for a while. Zhang Yang picked up a piece of rice paper from the ground, but saw it saying: "Ten years of life and death are vast, and I will never forget it if I don't think about it..."

Although Zhang Yang had no research on Song Ci, he had heard of Su Dongpo's poem. He knew that it was written by Su Dahushou's bearded man to mourn his deceased wife. When he recalled the conversation between Chen Chongshan and Chu Zhennan, it is not difficult to infer Chen Chongshan's mood to write this calligraphy.

Chen Xue bit her pink soft lips and walked out the door.

Zhang Yang followed her out. In the evening, the mountain wind was gusts, and there were fogs of rain and mist floating in the air. When the rain and mist were blown by the mountain wind, it not only did not dissipate, but gathered more and more. As night fell, the visibility on the top of the mountain became lower and lower. Zhang Yang followed Chen Xue among the wet rocks. He was skilled in martial arts and naturally walked easily under such road conditions. However, what made Zhang Yang strange was that Chen Xue was walking in such a steep environment was better than walking in the garden, and her breath was stable. He had already noticed this incident when Zhang Yang first came to Qingtai Mountain. At that time, he used Chen Xue's long-term living in the mountainous area and familiarity with the environment here to explain it. But now he found that Chen Xue had been searching in the mountains for nearly an hour, but there was no sign of fatigue, and her face was not blushing or breathing. If he had not had a certain level of cultivation, he would never have shown such a performance.

The night had completely fallen, and the entire Qingyun Peak was shrouded in a vast night. Chen Xue's voice constantly calling for her grandfather echoed in the valley, but she never received any response.

Zhang Yang saw that the night fog became thicker and thicker, and it was not a solution to continue looking like this. He reminded Chen Xue: "Would we go back first? Maybe your grandfather has already gone back."

Chen Xue shook her head and continued to walk forward. With her familiarity with the terrain, she knew that there was Xianyun Valley ahead. In the past, my grandfather often came here to hunt. This place was already the back mountain of Qingyun Peak. It was rarely visited by people and there were many animals, and the mountain became more and more steep.

Zhang Yang saw Chen Xue walking lightly in front of him without any sign of fatigue, and he secretly praised in his heart. The two of them groped in the valley for half an hour, but Chen Xue's shouting still received no response. She lost her confidence at this moment and sighed, "Grandpa is not here!"

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He reached out to protect Chen Xue behind him. In the night fog, two green light spots flashed. Zhang Yang heard the tiny steps first, but the light spot he saw later was a green wolf appeared in front of them.

With his angsty martial arts, he naturally would not see a wild wolf. He whispered to Chen Xue: "Stand behind me and don't leave me!" The green wolf was not in a hurry to approach them.

Chen Xue whispered: "These wild wolves often do not act alone!"

Zhang Yang nodded, and as expected, the green wolf was waiting for his companion. Not long after, four wild wolves appeared around him. They were surrounded and slowly approaching the middle.

Zhang Yang shouted loudly: "Follow me!" As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his toes and kicked a stone the size of a fist. The stone was kicked by Zhang Yang, like a crossbow thrown out, and shot towards a green wolf at high speed. The green wolf had just made the action of rushing out of the air. The stone hit the bridge of the middle nose, and blood flew everywhere. The calf-like body swelled in the air and fell heavily to the ground. Once the wild wolf launched an attack speed, two wild wolves rushed towards Zhang Yang from the front at the same time. Zhang Yang waved his hands and slapped their heads one foot away from him. The heads of the two wild wolves collided heavily. Zhang Yang's slapped the bones and his brain burst out.

Two wild wolves attacked Chen Xue from behind. Zhang Yang grabbed Chen Xue's arm, pulled her behind, and raised her foot to kick a wild wolf out. The green wolf in the head screamed shrillly, jumped into the air, and grabbed Zhang Yang's face with a pair of sharp claws. Zhang Yang was about to punch when he suddenly heard a dull gunshot.

The green wolf was hit on the head and fell heavily to the ground. Blood burst out from Zhang Yang's head and face. Chen Xue hid behind him before she was spared from being attacked by the blood rain.

Zhang Yang looked up and saw a blurry figure standing on the rock on the right.

Chen Xue said excitedly: "Grandpa!"

The figure was indeed Chen Chongshan. He didn't say anything, and walked down the mountain rock silently, came to Zhang Yang and Chen Xue, and shot the head of the wild wolf that was still not dead on the ground. There was no smile on his cold face: "It's so late, why are you here to Xianyun Valley?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, I heard you are sick, so come and see you!"

Chen Chongshan nodded, he pulled out an iron tube from his waist and pried off several wolf teeth very quickly. These wolf teeth are precious souvenirs.

Chen Xue whispered: "How come there are so many wild wolves in Qingyun Peak?"

Chen Chongshan narrowed his eyes and looked to the west and said, "Heijing Mountain has come over. I have been watching for some days. Now Qingtai Mountain is doing tourism, and there are many tourists. I am worried that these beasts will affect the safety of tourists."

"But you shouldn't come out alone!" Chen Xue complained.

Chen Chongshan's face showed a smile again, and he said to Zhang Yang: "Help me drag this wolf into the cave in front of him. It's late at night, we won't go back tonight!"

Zhang Yang looks really embarrassed now, with his head and face bursting with wolf blood. In fact, Chen Chongshan's shot was a bit unnecessary. Zhang Daren could take down the evil wolf as if he was bare-handed and empty-handed.

Zhang Yang, with blood-headed and blood-faced, carried a wild wolf and followed Chen Chongshan and his grandson to the valley. The night fog was too strong. Although he had strong eyesight, he could not see the road ahead. Fortunately, Chen Chongshan, the old horse who knew the way, walked for fifteen minutes and came to a cave blocked by vines. Entering it, Chen Chongshan turned on the flashlight. The entrance of the cave was narrow, but the more you walked, the more spacious it became. After walking for more than 20 meters, his eyes suddenly became clear. There was dry firewood piled up in the middle. Chen Chongshan lit the bonfire and asked Zhang Yang to throw the wild wolf around the bonfire. Looking at Zhang Yang's appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "Go and wash!" There is a stream in the northwest of the cave. Xiaoxue, take him over.

Chen Xue nodded and took Zhang Yang out of the cave and came to the clear stream in the northwest. If it weren't for Chen Xue's guidance, Zhang Yang would have lost his way in this misty valley. He leaned over and scooped up the stream water and washed his face well. If Chen Xue was not by his side, this guy would definitely take off his clothes and jump in and take a shower.

Chen Xue picked some wild strawberries by the stream and washed them in the stream. At this time, a sensational aroma of barbecue wafted with the night wind. It was Chen Chongshan who peeled the wild wolf and roasted it.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Now I don't need you to lead the way, I can get it back."

Chen Xue showed a rare smile. In the faint mist, her pretty face was so beautiful that it was suffocating. The charm of her smile made everything around her lose its eyes, and Zhang Yang watched it so hard that she stayed there.

Chen Xue said calmly: "Since you can get it back, I'll leave first!" After that, she turned around and walked towards the cave.

Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly, and suddenly felt a little restless. He simply took off his clothes and jumped into the stream, letting the clear stream water wash his body and calm his mind gradually. He suddenly found that he had an inexplicable feeling for Chen Xue. This feeling was as hazy as night fog, but it was real. Zhang Daren buried his head in the cold stream water. He caused too much love debt. It would be better for him to be less cold and frosty girls like Chen Xue.

After taking a shower, Zhang Yang returned to the cave. Chen Chongshan had already roasted wolf meat and cut off a wolf leg with a dagger and handed it to Zhang Yang: "The wolf meat is not delicious, so you can fill your stomach!"

Zhang Yang took a bite and felt that it was fragrant and tasted very good. Perhaps because he had walked so many times tonight and was hungry, Chen Chongshan handed him the army in a kettle. It was made of Li Xinyi's own liquor. Zhang Yang drank two mouthfuls and sighed: "It feels so comfortable!"

Chen Chongshan whispered: "Everyone has a different definition of happiness."

Zhang Yang said: "My definition of happiness is constantly changing with the environment. Now, eating meat and drinking wine is the greatest happiness." He handed Chen Chongshan the military kettle, and Chen Chongshan also took a sip and bite the wolf meat and said: "Being able to feel happiness is a kind of happiness in itself."

Zhang Yang and Chen Xue chewed his words silently. Chen Xue ate some strawberries. She was a vegetarian and had no interest in wolf meat. She yawned and said, "I'm tired and go to bed first!"

She went to a corner of the cave, wrapped herself in a blanket and fell asleep on her back.

Zhang Yang saw the melancholy in Chen Chongshan's eyes and whispered: "Uncle Chen, I heard you went to Jing'an?"

Chen Chongshan did not deny it and nodded.

Zhang Yang said: "I saw that letter in your stone house!"

"What?"

"Ten years of life and death are all in vain!"

Chen Chongshan's eyes became empty and ethereal, and he said calmly: "It's just a simple hand-to-hand graffiti, and there's no special meaning."

Zhang Yang said: "But this letter seems to be written by Su Dongpo for mourning his deceased wife!" He said this sentence to half-explaining the matter. Don't be with me, I know what's going on.

Chen Chongshan's eyes sterned, he pursed his lips, and suddenly stood up and walked out of the cave.

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned and followed his steps out of the cave.

When Chen Chongshan saw Zhang Yang following him, he couldn't help but frown and said, "I want to be alone and quiet!"

Zhang Yang said: "I don't hide it from you. It was Director Geng who called me and asked me to come and see you. I heard that you were sick after returning from Jing'an. She was worried that something would happen to you!"

Chen Chongshan snorted coldly: "It's a big deal!" He was talking about Geng Xiuju and Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang said: "Uncle Chen, in the past, I thought you gave up fame and fortune alone, hid on this Qingyun Peak, took things lightly, and had a superior mind. But now it seems that you are the one who is the one who is most unspoken."

Chen Chongshan's thick eyebrows were furrowed together. He knew that Zhang Yang was using provocation, but these words really sounded unpleasant.

"To put it bluntly, you have been escaping reality, thinking that hiding here, no one can find you, and what has happened can be regarded as never happened, but you are just deceiving yourself!"

Chen Chongshan turned to Zhang Yang with some anger: "What do you know?"

Zhang Yang said: "I don't know what you are thinking, but I know that you are not the only one who suffers in this world. Speaking of misfortune, I think of a good friend of mine. His fiancée became a vegetable due to an accident eleven years ago. For this relationship, he has been protecting this until now. But when his fiancée woke up, he thought he had finally waited for the dawn, but found that he was no longer in her heart. Ten years of waiting were in exchange for such disappointment. If it were you, would you go crazy? You might not, but you would run into the mountains and hide alone, and you dare not face the reality!"

Chen Chongshan was speechless.

Zhang Yang said again: "And my friend doesn't have it. He is still waiting. He hopes to wait until the day when the dawn appears. So, there are many people in this world who are unfortunate than you, and there are many people who are braver to face reality than you!" After Zhang Yang said that, he turned around and left.

Chen Chongshan's low voice suddenly rang: "Who is your friend's name?"

Zhang Yang stopped and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Du Tianye!"

Du Tianye's name hit Chen Chongshan's heart like a heavy hammer. He felt his breathing become embarrassing and difficult. Du Tianye! That's right, that's his son! Zhang Yang did not mention this matter by chance in front of him. He should have noticed something. Chen Chongshan took two steps powerlessly, sat down on a rock, closed his eyes, as if he heard his wife's desperate and painful moan when she was about to give birth. His rough big hand held up his face and silently shouted in his heart: "Qiu Min... Tell me... what I should do..."

The reason why Zhang Yang revealed Du Tianye's misfortune to Chen Chongshan was because he understood that the only way to cheer Chen Chongshan up from his sluggishness was to make him realize his responsibilities. A real man would never choose to escape in the face of responsibility. Since Du Tianye was born until now, Chen Chongshan has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for a day. Zhang Yang believes that father and son are in love, and Chen Chongshan will cheer up again because of this.

When Zhang Yang woke up, Chen Chongshan and his grandson had already washed up and waited for him to set off.

Walking out of the cave, the sun is shining outside, and the birds singing in the Yiyun Valley are full of vitality everywhere. Occasionally, you can see little squirrels jumping happily in the bushes.

Chen Chongshan walked forward with a hunting rifle in his back, Zhang Yang chased after him and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen! How to deal with those wolves?"

Chen Chongshan said calmly: "The best way is to let it go and let them die on their own." He handed Zhang Yang two wolf teeth: "Give it to you! I will grind this thing with a craftsman, and put it on with a red rope to ward off evil spirits!"

"Thank you Mr. Chen!"

"It was your prey, why would I thank me for..." Chen Chongshan paused for a moment and finally said: "One friend who is given to you is actually a person who lives in the world, not just for women!" After he said that, he immediately accelerated his pace and left Zhang Yang far behind.

Zhang Yang looked at Chen Chongshan's back and smiled knowingly.

Chen Xue came to him, looked at the two white wolf teeth in his hand, and whispered: "What did you say to my grandfather last night?"

Zhang Yang raised his head proudly: "My lord's affairs have nothing to do with you little girl!"

Chen Xue snorted, glanced at him with beautiful eyes, but realized that such behavior was not in line with his usual cold attitude. Her pretty face became a little hot and hurriedly chased forward.

When he returned to the stone house where Chen Chongshan was, he found that Hailan and Sky TV's crew had also arrived here and were filming at Zixia Temple. Zhang Yang said goodbye to Chen Chongshan and then arrived at Zixia Temple.

Hailan couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw the blood on Zhang Yang's body. She was sure that Zhang Yang was not injured and felt relieved. The filming of the film crew went very smoothly. She photographed several representative attractions on Qingyun Peak that day, and it was not until the evening that she returned to the villa built in Shangqinghe Village, the foot of the mountain to rest.

Because the villa has been taken over by Niu Wenqiang, he spent a lot of money to renovate it, and the guest rooms here have been improved, and Hong Kong guests are all satisfied with their accommodation conditions.

On the same day, Zhang Yang contacted the old branch secretary Liu Chuankui, who specially recruited his son Liu Dazhu from the county town and prepared the most authentic whole sheep feast in Qingtaishan for the film crew at the villa.

In the evening, Zhu Qingmin, Party Secretary of Heishanzi Township, and Yu Qiuling, Mayor of Heishanzi Township, all came to welcome the crew.

Zhang Yang is also an old man from Heishanzi Township. He is very familiar with these village cadres. However, when he was in Heishanzi Township, he was not even a formal clerk. Now he is a deputy department-level cadre, and his level has surpassed Zhu Qingmin and Yu Qiuling.

Yu Qiuling appeared here and had the same purpose as her husband Xu Zhaobin, both to get close to Zhang Yang. Zhu Qingmin, the township party secretary, is already a person who is almost there and is no longer very enthusiastic about the officialdom. His main energy is all about martial arts. But since he saw the battle between Zhang Yang and his master Liang Baichuan in Jiangcheng, Zhu Qingmin only knew that there is someone outside of the world. Zhang Yang is definitely not an ordinary person. He not only has unlimited potential in the officialdom, but also has unfathomable martial arts.

After dinner, Zhu Qingmin and Zhang Yang came to the fish pond in the yard. Zhu Qingmin said, "Director Zhang, I want to ask for help!"

Although Zhang Yang and Zhu Qingmin have known each other for a long time, they have not had a deep friendship with each other. He smiled and said, "Secretary Zhu, please say it!"

Zhu Qingmin is also a straightforward person. He whispered: "Do you still remember Diao Dezhi from Longxing Winery, Xilou Township?"

Zhang Yang nodded. Of course he remembered that he had no good impression of Diao Dezhi. This palace holiday incident was precisely because he wanted to deal with Hu Guanghai of the Comprehensive Management Office of the Scenic Area that he followed Diao Dezhi and Hu Guanghai and accidentally exposed a major case.

Zhu Qingmin said: "Longxing Winery is a key enterprise in Xilou Township and a key township enterprise in Chunyang County. Diao Dezhi's accident during the holiday in the palace has affected many contracts of the factory. Now many dealers are coming to return the goods, and the situation in the factory is very serious."
