Chapter 761 -761: Chu Family Village
“Chu Family Village?” Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts stirred slightly. “Ah, it seems that Tingting’s grandfather is celebrating his eightieth birthday this time, not only holding a banquet in the city, but also returning to Chu Family Village to hold another feast for the villagers…”
In short, Huang Xiaolong would have to make a trip to Chu Family Village, so he had become somewhat interested in the “earth-shattering event” that the mangy dog demon mentioned.
“It seems that when you first encountered Jing Xiaoxi in Ma City, it wasn’t a coincidence. You’ve been lurking in Ma City, or more accurately, in Chu Family Village, together with your accomplices, to plan out a big event,” Huang Xiaolong said with a slight smile.
At this point, the mangy dog had run out of time to speak human language. He barked twice and nodded his head.
“Okay. You can come with me for now,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “Chu Family Village, here I come.”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong say this, a complex expression appeared in the dog’s human-like eyes, as if looking forward to something.
...
Huang Xiaolong didn’t ask further. When they arrived at Chu Family Village, he would naturally conduct a thorough investigation of this so-called earth-shattering event.
Immediately, Huang Xiaolong and the others returned to the feast.
The mangy dog trotted behind them, looking like a pet trained by Huang Xiaolong.
After the luncheon, Mayor Yu, Mayor Ding, and Mayor Fang, all chatted with Huang Xiaolong for a moment before excusing themselves. Ding Qinxue and Fang Zhaoyue both looked reluctant to leave.
Other people, such as the Binhai Four Great Families, the Binhai wealthy groups, the Jin Family, Ji Zhengyu, and Huang Xiaolong’s wives, all tacitly stayed behind, ready to accompany Huang Xiaolong in Ma City for a few days.
As the host, the Chu Family was overawed and carefully arranged the accommodations for everyone.
Chu Tingting told Huang Xiaolong that early the next morning, Old Master Chu would lead the family back to Chu Family Village to celebrate with the villagers. This was the birthplace of the Chu Family and held great significance for Old Master Chu and every member of the Chu Family.
Worth mentioning was the fact that Old Master Chu hadn’t been back to Chu Family Village in ten years. He didn’t go back every year but usually once every ten years, during his decennial birthdays.
That night, Huang Xiaolong gathered all his wives, with the mangy dog crouching at his feet.
“Tomorrow we’re going to Chu Family Village. However, according to this mangy dog, an earth-shattering event is supposed to happen there,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.
The mangy dog whined a few times.
“Little Long, I visited Chu Family Village when I was little. It’s a picturesque village nestled against rolling mountains, perfect for a vacation,” Chu Tingting said somewhat uncertainly. “I can’t imagine what could possibly happen in Chu Family Village. It’s practically cut off from the world.”
Seeing Huang Xiaolong surrounded by numerous beautiful women, Chu Tingting felt somewhat perturbed. However, after some time spent with the beautiful women like Ma Chuxia, she gradually became accustomed to it.
“Why don’t we just go and see?” Huang Xiaolong said, full of interest.
The next morning, a large convoy set out for Chu Family Village.
Old Master Chu was in tears on the carriage. “This year, Tingting’s boyfriend Little Long has actually invited so many distinguished guests to return to Chu Family Village with me… This is such a great honor… Binhai Four Great Families, Jiangnan City’s Jin Family… these are all important guests that I couldn’t invite under normal circumstances! Their presence will bring glory to the entire Chu Family Village!”
As noon approached, the convoy entered the mountains.
Sure enough, there was a sizable village nestled in the mountains.
Ancient trees shadowed the cottages, the setting sun sparkled off distant mountains, smoke wafted from the treetops, and a river ran outside the village.
“We’re here! Little Long, we’re here! That should be Chu Family Village, right?” Song Yuru, Huang Xiaolong’s first wife, was sitting in a car with Huang Xiaolong. Lin Jing was driving.

“Little Long, the scenery in this village is really beautiful. Look at those green mountains and rivers, and so many birds flying freely in the sky,” Song Yuru said with a delighted smile on her face.
However, Huang Xiaolong slightly furrowed his brows.
Looking from afar, the village seemed shrouded in layers of eerie gray mists and a ghostly aura filled the air. The birds flying above the village, which Song Yuru mentioned, were all crows. Red-eyed crows. These were ill omen, usually indicative of corpses and death.
Additionally, there seemed to be some dangerous creatures lurking in the mountains behind the village.
These creatures appeared to be sleeping, yet still emanating an appalling malevolent aura, suggesting that their awakening would cause a great shock.
‘Could it be that the earth-shattering event the mangy dog mentioned is related to the monstrous creature sleeping in the mountains?’ Huang Xiaolong pondered in his heart.
“What’s in the mountains?” Huang Xiaolong looked at the mangy dog crouched at his feet.
“Woo woo~~ woo woo~~” The mangy dog let out a few whimpers, its eyes filled with an indescribable fear.
“Hehe, don’t tell me you lured us to this Chu Family Village, then you will summon some beast to capture us all? But, no matter what the beast is, it ends up with a dead end when it encounters me.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
The mangy dog shook its head and a disdainful look appeared in its eyes. It seemed to think that Huang Xiaolong was totally incapable of contending with that beast.
The convoy stopped.
A large parking lot had been set up outside the village.
Everyone parked their cars and got out.
But it was strange, on the parking lot, there were already many sedans and SUVs parked, although they were not luxury cars, there were Passats, Tighuans, Tuans, Mondeos, Malibus… of that kind.
Obviously, those private cars could not possibly be owned by the villagers of the Chu Family Village.
“Hmm?” After getting off the bus, Old Master Chu took a look at the cars in the parking lot and murmured. “Which people came to the Chu Family Village ahead of time?”
There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, with the three characters “Chu Family Village” written on it.
At this time, a large group of villagers, young and old, stood at the entrance of the village to greet them.
Moreover, there were also some people dressed like city dwellers, standing on the side, gazing at the hustle and bustle with grinning faces.
“Village chief, what’s going on with those people?” Old Master Chu strode toward the village entrance and asked a toothless old man in his seventies.
“Oh… Old Master, some time ago, a group of people from the city came to our village to shoot a TV show, saying they wanted to film a documentary in our Chu Family Village. See, those people are all actors and directors.” The village chief gave a gaping smile. “They gave our village quite a lot of money.”
“A documentary?” Old Master Chu was bewildered.
At this time, Huang Xiaolong looked at the villagers standing at the entrance of the village, then turned his gaze to the directors and actors. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.
Without making a sound, Ma Chuxia stepped forward and said by Huang Xiaolong’s side. “Little Long, something doesn’t seem right.”
“Cough cough…what’s not right? I don’t see anything unusual.” Chu Tingting also stood by Huang Xiaolong’s side.
“Yeah, teacher, please forgive my shortsighted disciple, I haven’t noticed anything inappropriate either.” Old Master Jin said from the side.
“Um… Nothing. Pay attention, those villagers and those so-called actors, some of them, don’t have shadows.” Huang Xiaolong said with a teasing smile.
“Huh?” Hearing this, Old Master Jin narrowed his eyes. Now that it was midday and the autumn sun was shining brightly, there should have been shadows in front of everyone’s feet. But some people’s area was perfectly clear, with no shadow to be seen!
“Teacher, what does it mean if there’s no shadow?” Old Master Jin asked shakily.
“What do you think?” Huang Xiaolong said with a laugh.
At this time, the village chief said to Old Master Chu. “Old Master, the feast is ready. Please, you and your guests, enter the village.”
“Okay.” Old Master Chu nodded, then turned around and beckoned to Huang Xiaolong and the others. “Everyone, let’s go into the village.”
Suddenly, gusts of cold wind blew out from the village, making people shiver to their bones.
“Let’s go, let’s go in.” Huang Xiaolong stepped forward indifferently, heading towards the gloomy Chu Family Village!
