Chapter 173: The strong team up

I was stunned when I suddenly heard Ding Datong's voice ringing in my ears: "Sun Heng, you have no objection to what I just proposed to you, right?"

"What...what?" I just heard Ding Daneng talk about Ding Ling's virgin blood, worried that he would find out that I was related to this matter, so he was a little absent-minded and couldn't remember what he had said to me for a moment.

"Let me join forces with the village chief," Ding Datong said seriously: "Now the village chief is struggling our Ding family, you need help like you."

When I heard this, of course I would not know that Ding Datong was just using me. He could not agree that he would be with me and Ding Ling. As long as I help him through this difficulty, I would kick me out, just like before.

However, under the current circumstances, if I don’t take action to help the Ding family, Ding Ling’s situation is indeed very dangerous. I also see how the village chief was trying hard to deal with the Ding family and doing everything he can. So I can also deeply understand the pressure Ding Datong is under now.

What's more, I'm not going to Xiangxi from City B to help Ding Ling? So what reason do I have to refuse Ding Datong's request?

"Okay, I promise you and join forces with you to deal with the village chief." I said with a sigh, and added another sentence afterwards: "But I am not trying to help you, but to see Ding Ling's face."

I originally thought Ding Datong would be disgusted with my words, but he didn't expect that he didn't care after hearing this. Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Very very well, Sun Heng, I knew you would agree. Although we had some small holidays before, I can see that you are a sensible person."

When I heard Ding Datong's tone, it seemed as if I was begging to join forces with him. I couldn't help but feel annoyed. Fortunately, I was so calm that I would have scolded him with an MMP.

Ding Yunlong sat next to him, silently speaking, and joined forces with me and the Ding family, and seemed to have neither support nor objection. At this time, he suddenly heard him say, "Father, this bastard village chief, clearly dug a hole to let our Ding family jump. Father, how could you make such a bet with him?"

It seems that he is still resentful of Ding Datong and the village chief reaching an agreement.

"Yunlong, you don't know anything," Ding Datong frowned and said, "If I didn't give this old bastard some sweetness, would he let our Ding family go? That damn villagers are his supporters. As long as this old bastard stirs up a few words, these villagers will riot and besiege our Ding family. At that time, no one can guarantee that something terrible would happen."

Although Ding Datong said this from the perspective of the Ding family, I also think he made sense. There were no less than hundreds of villagers on the scene at that time. If the situation gets out of control, it may be really unfavorable to the Ding family.

After hearing this, Ding Yunlong showed a look of worry on his face and said, "But Father, I'm worried that in the next few days, if someone really dies in the village, wouldn't that bastard village chief have an excuse to put a detriment to our Ding family?"

When Ding Datong heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "If that is true, it only means that our Ding family cannot escape this disaster, and there is nothing we can do about it..."

As he said that, he suddenly turned his eyes to me and continued to raise his eyebrows and said, "Sun Heng, aren't you a Feng Shui master? Do you think the snake god who is angry about this old bastard is deliberately sensational, or is there any such thing?"

I was asked by Ding Datong's words, but I couldn't answer for a moment. I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Ding is a Miao family. I think the legend of the snake god should be better than me, a foreigner."

When Ding Datong heard this, he nodded silently and said, "Although I am a Miao person, everyone's legend about the snake god has always been like clouds and fog, and it is just a word of mouth. No one has really seen the snake god appear, nor has he experienced the incident of the snake god getting angry."

After pausing, Ding Datong looked at me and continued, "Nevertheless, we Miao people still have awe of the snake gods, and most people also believe in the existence of the snake gods. So this time Wu Dashu died at the door of our Ding family. The village chief, the old bastard, took advantage of the villagers' awe of the snake gods and put pressure on our Ding family. He is such a despicable and shameless villain!"

As he said that, Ding Datong clenched his fists angrily, his face showed an angry expression, and his face turned red because of his anger.

When I saw this scene, I thought to myself: After this, I am afraid that the relationship between the Ding family and the village chief will become even more incompatible and irreconcilable.

Seeing that his father was so angry, Ding Yunlong spoke to comfort Ding Datong: "Father, I just kept asking someone to secretly kill this bastard village chief. Wouldn't our Ding family be at peace forever?"

When Ding Datong heard this, he hurriedly rejected Ding Yunlong's proposal and said, "Yunlong, this is absolutely impossible. At this critical moment, if something happens to this old bastard, others will definitely suspect that it was our Ding family. Even if they want to kill this old bastard, they have to wait until the gust of storm has passed..."

Suddenly I remembered that I was right next to me, so I didn't continue talking. I turned to me and said, "Sun Heng, this old bastard is holding you. If I were you, I would definitely retaliate against this old guy."

I thought to myself that although the village chief locked me up in an underground prison, I didn’t make any embarrassment. Ding Datong said this just to provoke the relationship between me and the village chief so that I could cooperate with him.

So he smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Ding, tell me, what can I do?"

When Ding Datong heard this, his face calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Sun Heng, do you know why the village chief, the old bastard, is firmly in the village chief for so many years?"

When I heard Ding Datong's question, I immediately remembered what Alai said to me in prison. The reason why the village chief was able to firmly sit in the position of village chief for so many years was because he gave living people to the snake god every year as a sacrifice, so he was blessed by the snake god. Of course, this is just a rumor after all, and I would not say such words in front of Ding Datong.

When Ding Datong heard that I didn't speak, he explained himself: "That's because this old bastard understands wizards. He is a famous wizard in Xiangding's area, so no one dares to touch him. But..."

At this point, Ding Datong suddenly turned his eyes to me, grinned, revealing a jagged yellow teeth and said, "I know Sun Heng, you know supernatural arts, and you can use your skills to fight this old bastard to see if your supernatural arts are powerful or our Miao family's witchcraft is powerful."

I immediately remembered that my grandfather had faced similar problems back then. My grandfather and I came to Xiangxi, with the original purpose of learning the advantages of Miao witchcraft, but they were rejected by local wizards and almost had a fight with these wizards. In the end, my grandfather chose to leave Xiangxi, so there was no bloody conflict.

Unexpectedly, today, like my grandfather back then, I can't escape the situation of fighting against local wizards. Could it be that everything is really full of will?

So, my face felt awkward and said stutteringly: "My grandfather taught me the supernatural arts, not to be competitive. Besides, my skills may not be as good as you imagined..."

After hearing this, Ding Datong thought I was worried that I was not the village chief's opponent, and smiled and said, "Sun Heng, don't worry, a helper will come back soon and deal with this old bastard with you. I believe that if you two join forces, this old bastard will undoubtedly lose."

I was confused when I heard it. I didn't know who the helper Ding Datong was, so I heard Ding Yunlong beside him ask first: "Father, who is the helper you are talking about?"

Ding Datong glanced at Ding Yunlong, then said with a smile on his face: "I have received the news that your brother Yunpeng is about to come back, just in these few days."

"Really? That's great." Ding Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard this and cheered.

I know Ding Datong has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son is Ding Yunlong, the second son is Ding Yunpeng, and Ding Ling is his youngest daughter. However, Ding Yunpeng, I only know that he has been away from home and I don’t know what he is doing.

When Ding Datong saw me with a confused look on his face, he explained to me: "My young son learned art from a very famous wizard in Dulong Mountain, Xiangxi when he was very young. Because he was devoted to learning witchcraft, he rarely went home. Recently, he decided to come back to help me when he was a family. This child is so sensible, and I didn't waste my love for him so much when I was a child."

After hearing Ding Datong's words, I suddenly realized what he said, and began to understand why the village chief and the villagers made such a big noise at his house, and he could still maintain such a calm mind. It turned out that he knew that his youngest son Ding Yunpeng would come back to help.

Now, I am very interested in Ding Yunpeng. I want to know what kind of character he is, which makes Ding Datong feel as if he has taken a reassurance, and it is probably not that simple.

Although I promised to cooperate with the Ding family, since I entered the Ding family, I was focused on Ding Ling, and I wanted to say it to her, so when I talked to Ding Datong, I was not too positive about it.

I tried to speak in front of Ding Datong several times and asked him to agree to let Ding Ling and I meet each other, but Ding Datong used other topics to evade it. It was obvious that he deliberately did not want us to meet. I saw that there was no hope, so I came out of the Ding family.

When they came out, the villagers at the door of Ding's house had dispersed, Wu Dashu's body was taken away, and the bustling scene was restored on the road.
