The End Times as a Song

Chapter 224 Someone needs to go back and guard the area!

"Hurry up and say it! Stop dawdling! You stinky bear!" Tu Shanyan couldn't stand it anymore and urged Xiong Xi to speak quickly.

Tu Shan Yan disliked anyone even slightly good-looking around Huan Ru Ge, let alone Xiong Xi, whose delicate and fair appearance was the kind that girls especially liked.

Tu Shan Yan's dislike for Xiong Xi wasn't something that had just started a day or two ago. Whenever he saw Xiong Xi, Tu Shan Yan would get itchy and couldn't help but say a few words to vent his frustration.

Xiong Xi glanced at Tu Shan Yan, but didn't pay much attention to what Tu Shan Yan said. Instead, he politely bowed and explained the whole story to Zhe Yi and Tu Shan Yan: "Uncle Zhe, Brother Yan! Those two men in black were rescued by their accomplices!"

Before Xiong Xi could speak, Tu Shan Yan jumped up in surprise, grabbed Xiong Xi's collar, and said, "What? What happened? You big dummy bear, you can make someone disappear just by looking at them!"

Zheyi suddenly glanced at Tushan Yan, who then released Xiong Xi. Xiong Xi dusted himself off and continued, "I was delivering food when I overheard a conversation—something about the latest orders to slaughter all the 'fragrant grass'! A moment later, I was knocked unconscious! When I woke up, the man in black was gone!"

Tu Shanyan frowned: "Slaughter all the fragrant grass? What nonsense is this? What do you mean by that?"

Zheyi was also completely baffled. He stroked his beard, paced back and forth, and pondered the man in black's words: "Slaughter all the fragrant grass?" He suddenly stopped, frowning: "Slaughter all... fragrant grass? Oh no, is this... going to attack Fragrant Grass Village?"

Zheyi's words shocked Tu Shanyan and Xiong Xi. Xiong Xi stood there speechless, while Tu Shanyan walked to Zheyi's side to confirm again: "Uncle Zhe, do you mean to massacre Fangcao Village? Could this be a coincidence?"

Tu Shanyan's words angered Zheyi, who angrily retorted, "Where do you get so many coincidences? Little Fire, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're a fox too. Don't you know what it means to rather miss an opportunity than let it go?"

"Whether it is or not, I've made up my mind to rush back to Fangcao Village immediately! With Aran gone, the barrier around Fangcao Village is already very weak! If some villains were to massacre the village, and they were no ordinary people, the villagers might not be able to defend it! I can't gamble with the Fangcao Village that Aran worked so hard to build!"

Tu Shanyan thought about it and still felt that it wasn't cautious enough. He needed to wait for Huanruge to return so they could discuss it again from scratch. So Tu Shanyan suggested to Zheyi: "Uncle Zhe, what about Ran's mother? Why don't we wait for Huanhuan to come back and then discuss it again!"

Zheyi said to Tushan Yan with great worry, "It's too late! Someone must go back to guard Fangcao Village now! Otherwise, something terrible could happen. Aran's matter can only be left to Huanhuan and Xiong Xi!"

Zheyi understood perfectly well that Tushan Yan was also worried about a trap, and Tushan Yan's caution was understandable, but he couldn't take the risk.

Tu Shanyan kicked a stone under his feet to vent his emotions: "What a mess this is!"

Zheyi glanced at the small stone below, then looked at Tushan Yan and comforted him, "Little Fire! Don't worry, I understand your difficulties! You should focus on finding your divine source, resolve your mother's matter, and then come back to Fangcao Village to find us!"

"Uncle Zhe, I...!" Tu Shanyan wanted to explain, but felt powerless. Indeed, if anything major happened in Fangcao Village, Tu Shanyan would be completely helpless at this moment. These words expressed Tu Shanyan's helplessness.

Xiong Xi stood there stunned for a long time before finally stepping forward and saying, "Brother Ayan, let's listen to Uncle Zhe! Leave the matter of finding Mother Ran to me and Sister Huanhuan!"

Xiong Xi's good intentions were used as a punching bag by Tu Shan Yan, who pushed Xiong Xi away and yelled, "Get out of here! Who's your brother! I'm not Huan Huan! I'm not buying your act!"

Broken Wing shook his head: "Little campfire! Stop bullying Xiong Xi like that! Business is important! I'm going back to Fangcao Village first! Please pass on a message to Huanhuan for me, tell her that if you find A Ran, come back to the village immediately! I'll be waiting for you in Fangcao Village!"

Tu Shanyan pouted: "Okay, Uncle Zhe! Be careful on the road...!"

Honest and simple Xiong Xi responded to Zhe Yi: "Uncle Zhe, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Huanhuan!"

Zheyi stroked his beard, nodded, and then turned and disappeared.
