The few men did not have time to care about Wang Ye, at this time, a villager walked over.

"Mr. Wang, our Village Head invites you over." A villager spoke up.

Wang Ye felt that he was already quite close to Chen Jian and the rest, maybe they were kidnapped.

As long as they could solve the mystery of the Ge Family Village, they might be able to save Chen Jian.

There were two large round tables placed in the chief's courtyard. Li Heng and his party had also come, and Zeng Qingyu's group of gold diggers were rushing over as well.

Zeng Qingyu curled his lips and said, "Village Head, didn't they say that only those who have helped the village a lot will be invited for a meal today?"

"It's like this, Mr. Wang is a special case, I must thank him today." The village chief laughed as he spoke.

It had to be known that when the two groups of people entered the village to search for gold, they brought a lot of benefits. Although he knew that those Gold Sand were fake, he still earned a lot of money, which was also true.

The village chief laughed and invited Wang Ye to sit, then Wang Ye took out the photo of Chen Jian and said: "Village Chief, have you seen the person in the photo before?"

He took the photo, and his expression changed. "There's no need to look for them. They've never been to our village."

Previously, Wang Ye had asked Li Heng about it, but they had only been searching for gold and sand by the river the entire time, so they did not notice that there were a few extra people in the village.

On the other hand, Zeng Qingyu walked up with a smile and said, "I've seen this guy before. There's also a bald guy who always wears a wig."

He had actually seen Chen Jian before! Wang Ye panicked, and asked: "Do you know where they went?"

"Take your dirty hands away first!" With Zeng Qingyu's aloof attitude, Wang Ye was extremely unhappy.

"Will you tell me?" Wang Ye grabbed his collar.

Zhou Runwei and the rest stood up, the atmosphere became tense, but Zhou Runwei and the others did not want to fight, because they knew that Wang Ye was not an easy opponent to deal with.

"If you don't say it, I'll cripple you!" Wang Ye twisted his arm.

"Ah, it hurts!" Ceng Qingyu's hands were pressed back by Wang Ye.

Zhou Runwei and the others knew that they could not afford to offend Wang Ye, but there were a few other people who stood up after picking up the things in their hands to show their loyalty.

Ah Sheng took out his handgun, and shot into the sky: All of you sit down, you want to eat this spear, right?

Spear! In this world, a tough fist is a god! People with guns should not be offended!

They were all people that valued their lives, so how could they dare to show off? They all sat back down.

"Speak, where did they go?" Wang Ye asked.

He simply could not resist. If Wang Ye used even a little more force, both of his arms would have been twisted out of joint.

"I'll say it, I'll say it!" "They went to the temple at the back of the village and we didn't see them come back after that."

"That's not a mountain temple!" The Village Chief asked, "Why didn't you stop them?"

When the two teams came to the village, the village head had instructed them not to go to the back of the mountain. When the two teams came to the village, he had told them not to go to the back mountain.

Furthermore, strange things would often happen at the back of the mountain, but Wang Ye felt that this Village Chief was hiding many things from him.

"How many days have you been gone?" Wang Ye asked.

"The day you guys came, they went to the back mountain." Zeng Qingyu explained honestly.

Wang Ye looked at the village chief and asked, "Do you know where the mountain temple is?"

"I advise you not to go. Perhaps your friend has already died there." The village chief sighed and said.

"Why can't we go there?" Wang Ye was very curious.

What could be strange about this mountain?

In his mind, he could see some of the Daoist priest's memories. The more remote the mountain village, the easier it was for strange things to happen. There were many things that the Daoist priest himself didn't know how to explain.

"Because the mountain behind the mountain is not a temple at all, but actually a Snake Essence Temple." The village chief raised his head and said, "Forty years ago, this Snake Temple was there to protect our village. However, a group of bandits suddenly appeared."

The robbers had nowhere to go, so they stayed at the Serpent Temple. At first they didn't do anything to us, but then their boss was killed.

The bandits didn't have anything to eat in the back mountains, so they came to our village in the winter to steal food and women.

It was said that in the back of the mountain, there was a snake spirit that had taken human form. She was at the critical point of her cultivation, but was found out by bandits and they took her away because they coveted her beauty.

The Devil Snakes were killed by the bandits, but the bandits they encountered all died from poisoning, and the Devil Snakes died as well.

After the Snake Demon died, the Snake Ancestor became furious. This entire mountain was filled with poisonous snakes that searched everywhere for the remaining bandits.

As long as a person reached the back of the mountain, they would easily encounter a large number of poisonous snakes surrounding them. Thus, the villagers didn't dare to go up the mountain anymore.

"And you didn't tell my friend?" Wang Ye asked.

The village chief told him that he was busy the entire time and was not even in the village at all. He did not even know that Wang Ye's friend had come to the village.

This is impossible! Wang Ye remembered that they came to help the village get rid of the Evil Realm.

Monk was just trying to earn some money, how could he not know the Village Chief?

Wang Ye stopped thinking about it, and the more he thought about it, the more troubled he became. He said: "Let's go to the back of the mountain early in the morning to take a look, can you find someone to lead the way?"

The village chief hesitated. The back of the mountain was filled with poisonous snakes. Who would dare to risk going up?

"I'll take you there, but the price can't be low!" Aunt said as she walked over with a pot of local specialties.

Not far away, the voiceless sister-in-law made a gesture towards Wang Ye, as if she wanted him to bring her along.

Was A Xia being held hostage? Wang Ye felt that A Xia was not like a child born into a poor family.

Maybe he was kidnapped by someone, so Wang Ye did not have a good impression of the villagers here. He glanced at his aunt, thought for a bit, and still agreed.

When he came back, he would come back to rescue A Xia. Right now, he definitely had to go to the back mountain and search for Chen Jian's whereabouts.

If Big Aunt was a bad person, she could have just left her behind in the rear mountains if she met any danger. But if this A Xia followed her, it would be a burden.

The corners of A Xia's eyes were a little disappointed, but that was only for an instant. She and her aunt hurriedly brought the dishes to the table.

There were many villagers who were helping the village chief, and everyone even began to cook the suckling pigs. It was as lively as a festival.

Wang Ye made Ah Sheng buy some wine, he planned to practice wine with Li Heng, and he did not know when they would meet again.

There were also a few young ladies in beautiful clothes in the village. They moved closer to Wang Ye's table and poured the rice wine they brewed out for him.

At this time, the village chief walked up and said, "Our village's young lady has taken a fancy to you. This is a way of expressing her love. Whichever clan you like, just drink her wine."

Of course, Wang Ye did not know about the customs here. He glanced at the girls, and saw that they all looked pretty good.

He drank a few cups of rice wine, and the village chief was shocked. This wine could only be drunk for one cup, and if he drank it all, wouldn't he get drunk for three days?
