Chapter 745 The Village Chief’s Invitation
Looking at these villagers who were obviously ready to fight at the slightest disagreement, Sun Wukong felt a little nervous.
He originally thought of finding a random village, integrating into it and building up some interpersonal relationships, so that he wouldn't be afraid of being discovered as not being a local resident.
But seeing how vigilant these villagers were, he could imagine that it was impossible for him, an outsider, to integrate into this place.
Come to think of it, villages and towns at this time were very wary of strangers.
Who knows, even if you really move in, they may appear to be happy and cheerful with you on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly wary of you.
Even if you have lived here for a few years, there is still a possibility that something is wrong and the authenticity of your identity will be questioned.
So, does that mean he is going to run to the demon tribe?
But if the human world is like this, will the demon race be any better than here?
Sun Wukong wasn't sure.
After all, to be honest, he had only been in the demon tribe for a short time.
That is, when he was in Huaguo Mountain, he had more contact with his fellow monkeys.
Even when Di Jun rebelled before, Sun Wukong just went to visit him and didn't get to know him in depth.
Sun Wukong was a little embarrassed and made small talk:
"You have to take good care of your child. Is this forest a place where that child can go as he pleases?"
"It's because I was kindhearted that he met me. Otherwise, he would have been eaten by the monster!"
After saying this, Sun Wukong handed the child to the villagers in front of him and planned to slip away without looking back.
The village chief walked slowly out from behind the crowd and spoke loudly to stop Sun Wukong from leaving.
The village chief with gray hair and beard smiled kindly: "Please wait a moment, young man, since you saved our children, how can we leave without thanking you?"
The couple who had checked that their child was indeed safe and sound heard the village chief's words. Although they were a little confused, they also expressed their agreement.
They said in unison, "Yes, benefactor! You saved our dog, so we can prepare some simple food to express our gratitude!"
Sun Wukong waved his hands, feeling a little wary. "That's not necessary... It was just a coincidence, no need to make such a big deal out of it!"
He was so defensive before, but now he is so enthusiastic. There is something wrong, there is definitely something wrong here!
Sun Wukong is not stupid, how could he step into this obvious trap?
The village chief was unconcerned: "Hey! My benefactor, don't dare say that. Your character is noble and upright, and there is nothing wrong with that."
"It's just that if everyone feels that they don't need to express gratitude after receiving help, they might even take it for granted."
"So, will anyone still be willing to donate generously in the future?"
That’s all for the sake of talking about it.
If Sun Wukong continued to shirk and refuse, it would seem that he did not understand the ways of the world.
If it's just a meal, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
After all, if someone is determined to express gratitude, it would be somewhat unkind of me to just walk away like that.
"In that case, I would be honored to receive your invitation!" Sun Wukong said with a bow.
The village chief's youngest son got a hint from his father's eyes, and immediately came forward to talk after hearing this.
He feigned curiosity and asked, "Is your surname Kong? It's a rather strange surname."
"It should be okay. Why is my surname so rare in your area?" Sun Wukong was a little uncertain.
The village chief's youngest son nodded: "Indeed, there are many people with the surnames Li and Chen in our area."
This is not a secret and you can find out by just asking.
But Sun Wukong acted very unfamiliar with this...
The village chief's youngest son's thoughts turned in a tizzy, but he remained expressionless.
He continued to chat with Sun Wukong, trying to get information from him.
As for Sun Wukong, of course he also heard the temptation in the words of the village chief's youngest son.
Not to mention, during the conversation, Sun Wukong felt that the constraints on him were getting deeper and deeper.
He knew very well that the group of villagers in front of him had doubts about his origins.
The reason why the props on him have not been damaged.
It's simply because these people in front of us don't have any concrete evidence.
It is even impossible to determine his identity, as he is not a local resident.
……
On the other side, the unfortunate child was also taken to the ancestral hall by his parents and questioned by the village chief.
Before starting to question, the village chief was particularly kind and comforted the child named Gou'er.
The village chief said cheerfully, "Don't be afraid, good boy. Just tell us your story honestly. It's okay."
Goudan, who still didn't understand what he was going through, nodded ignorantly, but soon shook his head.
The village chief was happy about Gou'er's cooperation, but then he saw the child shaking his head and frowning slightly.
Goudan's parents' breathing became rapid when they saw their unfortunate child nod and then shake his head.
"Village Chief, my dog is just joking with you! He...he is..."
"Yes, my dog must be scared. Let him think about it carefully, he will definitely be able to tell it..."
The couple sang in unison, pulling Gou Dan'er, who was standing beside them, and said, "You're really driving us crazy! Why are you shaking your head?"
"Since your village chief has said so, just tell us what happened before honestly, and don't do anything weird!"
When Gou'er heard this, he remained silent and shook his head. After a while, he said, "That immortal master won't let me say it!"
Hearing this name, Goudan's parents were deeply shocked.
The couple was about to open their mouths to scold them when they saw the village chief sitting above them with a serious expression, but his voice became softer and gentler.
The village chief half coaxed, "Since I, the immortal, won't let you tell me, then let's not tell me!"
"Just Goudon, why did you run out instead of staying in the village? Your parents are going crazy looking for you!"
Goudan, who had no doubts, really believed the village chief when he heard him say that he would not ask any further questions.
When the village chief asked him why he left the village, Gou Dan'er crossed his fingers and said, "Big Eyes said there's a good place to fish in the river outside, so I followed him."
"But as we were walking, Big Eyes disappeared. I was chased by the monster. I ran for a long time and was almost eaten!"
When Goudan's parents heard this, their hearts completely died: "Your big-eyed brother is still working in town and hasn't come back at all! You..."
When the village chief saw that Goudan’s parents were very emotional, he immediately asked the villagers nearby to stop them.
He continued, "It was so thrilling! My dear, Goudan, you must have been scared! That was a monster, and you were able to escape. You're so lucky!"
Goudan immediately became complacent when he heard this.
