Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 663 642: Taijiang Village

Ren Feng saw an extremely vast valley before him, which could even be considered a plain, and across this plain, a large river flowed through.

Taijiang Village was built along this river.

The nearly entire plain was Taijiang Village.

From his horse, Ren Feng looked down at the enormous Taijiang Village and was somewhat in awe. It was like a city revealed after a sudden enlightenment; the whole village was very orderly, resembling a symmetrical eight-trigram formation.

Moreover, the entire Taijiang Village was built from wood. Seen from above, it looked like stacks of wooden platforms winding upward, with great layers and beauty.

"Giddyup!"

Liang Keqing gently shouted, and the horse beneath her slowly headed downward.

Not far along, suddenly a dozen or so figures ran towards them.

"Keqing!"

A man shouted loudly.

"Hey, I'm here!"

Liang Keqing waved her hands happily, her face full of excitement.

Ren Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, finally reaching Taijiang Village. It indeed wasn't easy, having spent so much time on the road.

In this village, could he find what he was looking for?

Ren Feng pondered internally, while the man who shouted, along with others, hurried over.

"I'm here."

Liang Keqing smiled happily as she saw them approaching.

Those who came were a few men from Taijiang Village, all Miao race, dressed in Miao attire, also holding some handmade ironware.

"Miao Wei, did you come to pick me up?" Liang Keqing was quite pleased, "Just in time, I've been really exhausted lately."

Miao Wei's face was originally very happy, but upon seeing Ren Feng on horseback, his expression immediately turned gloomy, and he frowned.

"Keqing, who is he?"

Miao Wei pointed at Ren Feng and said.

"Oh, he's a friend I met outside. He helped me and wanted to come to Miaojiang for medical treatment, so I brought him along," Liang Keqing said with a smile.

"Keqing, don't you know the village's rules? The elders once said, no outsiders are allowed in our village! What you're doing will have you punished under village rules."

Seeing this, Ren Feng grinned and said, "Friend, I'm sorry, you might have misunderstood something."

With that, he dismounted from the horse.

Liang Keqing frowned slightly: "He's my friend. He helped me, so I should help him in return. What's wrong with that? If there's any punishment needed, I'll take it."

"Oh, Keqing, you!"

Miao Wei seemed to be angered.

"Fine, considering you came to pick me up, I won't get mad. But Ren Feng is my friend, and you're not allowed to make a fuss about it," said Liang Keqing.

Ren Feng felt a sense of warmth inside. Liang Keqing truly had a chivalrous spirit, was very righteous, and was remarkably innocent, as if untouched by the Jianghu, inexperienced in the world.

"Keqing, you know about the incidents that happened in our village before, no outsider man can be trusted."

"Miao Wei, those were decades ago, and besides, it's not fair to generalize. If Ren Feng hadn't helped me, I might have taken several more days to return."

Miao Wei was visibly anxious, as a man beside him tugged at him and then asked with a smile: "Sister Keqing, why did you go out again?"

"Just went for a bit of fun, and to buy some things to keep up with the outside world," Liang Keqing said, taking out a beautiful bracelet and handing it to that man.

"Mr. Jiang, here, consider this a gift for your wife."

"Sister Keqing, you're too kind."

Mr. Jiang smiled and accepted the gift without much refusal.

"Alright, let's go back. I've been out for over a month," Liang Keqing said, with a trace of excitement on her face.

The group headed towards the village, and Ren Feng followed, with Miao Wei beside him.

"Your name is Ren Feng, right?" Miao Wei said coldly.

"Hello," Ren Feng replied with a smile.

"Enough with the 'hello, hello', I don't want to play your insincere games," Miao Wei suddenly grabbed Ren Feng's collar. "I need to tell you something!"

"Miao Wei, what are you doing?" suddenly called Liang Keqing from the front, turning her head.

"Oh, I saw your friend looking a bit frail and wanted to check if I could get him some herbs as a welcome gift," Miao Wei said with a smile, holding Ren Feng's shoulder.

"Oh, don't bully him, he's just an ordinary person."

"Don't worry, Keqing," Miao Wei said with a smile, but when Liang Keqing turned back, his expression became extremely cold again.

"As an outsider, intruding into Miaojiang, you are to be punished,"

Ren Feng said calmly: "Is that so?"

Now he understood, Miao Wei seemed to have feelings for Liang Keqing, thus targeting him. Initially, he considered resolving this, but seeing Miao Wei's attitude, he must have been resented.

An undeserved disaster.

"I will report your matter to the elders, and they will deal with it then," Miao Wei sneered, "and one more thing!"

Miao Wei suddenly lifted Ren Feng's collar again, speaking menacingly in close range, "Stay away from Keqing, or I'll make sure you regret it."

Ren Feng calmly looked at him, Miao Wei snorted coldly and released him, then followed the group.

The group walked into Taijiang Village, and Ren Feng glanced around, extremely amazed at the well-paved ground of the village, made from top-quality stones.

There were various people of the Miao Race around, women washing vegetables by the river, old people wearing headgear and walking with sticks leisurely, and also children playing pranks together.

The entire Taijiang Village was full of vitality.

"Sister Keqing, did you bring me any gifts?"

A little girl saw Liang Keqing on horseback and immediately ran over with a smile, showing her two little canine teeth.

"Of course, look, this is called chocolate, it's very tasty,"

Liang Keqing took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to the little girl.

"Sister Keqing, you're the best."

The little girl happily left, followed by a group of exuberant children.

"Sister Keqing, I want some too."

"Me too."

"Go away, you all, stay aside."

Miao Wei frowned and said.

"It's okay, there's enough for everyone,"

Liang Keqing smiled and took out all the chocolate, distributing it to the children.

Ren Feng watched from behind, seeing Liang Keqing smiling sweetly; she was indeed kind-hearted and very rare.

After distributing, the group continued forward, with Ren Feng observing the village along the way.

Before long, they reached a stone bridge, and Liang Keqing dismounted, walking ahead, followed by Miao Wei and the group, when suddenly, over a dozen youths appeared on the opposite side of the bridge.

"Miao Wei, why don't you stay on your side of the village and come to ours?" a Miao race man, arms crossed, said coldly.
