Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 668 647: The Twelve Clans of Miaojiang

Early the next morning, Ren Feng had already woken up.

Listening to the crowing of roosters outside the wooden window, the fresh air enveloped him.

In Miaojiang, the water is blue and the sky is clear, with excellent air quality.

Ren Feng took out his mobile phone, intending to send a text message to Xia Wenxue to report his safety, but he found that his phone had no signal.

"Indeed, Miaojiang is deep in the mountains, so it's normal not to have a signal."

Ren Feng put away his phone with some helplessness, then pushed open the door and walked out.

"Good morning, Mr. Liang."

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Liang Hongkuan practicing Tai Chi in the yard, just like those elderly people who practice square dancing.

"Young man, good morning. In the future, don't call me Mr. Liang, just call me Uncle Liang."

"Okay, Mr. Liang."

Liang Hongkuan couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, alright, as you youngsters like it. Let's have breakfast later."

Ren Feng walked up, hesitantly asking, "Uncle Liang, did Keqing talk to you yesterday?"

"Young man, never be in a hurry. Don't worry. Keqing has already spoken to me. There are certainly ways."

"Really?" Ren Feng became excited. To be honest, when faced with matters of life and death, no one can remain calm and leisurely.

There's a saying that, in this world, besides life and death, everything else is trivial. From this, it's clear that life and death are significant matters to anyone.

Ren Feng didn't want to die. Xia Wenxue was waiting for him, Liou Rumei was waiting for him, and Eleven was waiting for him. So many wonderful girls were waiting for him. Why should he die?

Following Liang Hongkuan into the house, Liang Keqing had already come over with some dishes.

"Come, come, let's eat."

Liang Keqing placed all the dishes on the table.

"It's just some simple congee and side dishes. Are you okay with this?" Liang Hongkuan asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm fine with it, and the food in Miaojiang has a special flavor." Ren Feng smiled.

Liang Hongkuan nodded, and the three of them began to eat with their chopsticks.

"Young man, do you know the status of Thunder Mountain in Miaojiang?"

"Cuo Damu mentioned it a little before, saying it's a sacred mountain." Ren Feng's attention immediately heightened.

"That's right." Liang Hongkuan nodded, "You could say the origin of all Miaojiang lies on Thunder Mountain. The ancient village on Thunder Mountain is the Origin Ancient Village of Miaojiang, with a long history. It's said that there are many miraculous places up there and some earth-shattering great sorcerers have appeared there.

Of course, legends are just legends. Thunder Mountain has prohibitions, and without an audience from above, one cannot go up casually. So, most people haven't been to Thunder Mountain and don't know the current situation up there."

"Then how do I get up there?" Ren Feng asked.

Liang Hongkuan smiled, "Before talking about this, we must first talk about the governance structure of Miaojiang. The Miao Race has twelve clans, that is, twelve major Miao surnames, all scattered from the ancient villages. A Miao clan is responsible for one area of Miao Village, and as the clan leader of this clan village, they are eligible to enter Thunder Mountain."

Ren Feng listened quietly, he hadn't expected Miaojiang's structure to be in such a form.

"Our Taijiang Village and nearby, a total of ten Miao Villages, belong to one of the clans. The previous clan leader was the village chief of Taijiang Village."

"Dad, but now the village chief is seriously ill in bed," Liang Keqing said from the side.

"That's right, but there's only one way. Through the recommendation of one of the twelve clan leaders, you can enter Thunder Mountain." Liang Hongkuan said unhurriedly.

Ren Feng winced, now he understood. Damn, this is another deadlock. He must enter Thunder Mountain, and the way to enter is through the recommendation of the Taijiang Village clan leader, but this clan leader is currently seriously ill in bed and unconscious.

How can he recommend me? Does the village chief have to get up from bed?

"Uncle Liang, this is a dead end," Ren Feng said helplessly.

"Who says it's a dead end? According to the rules, if a clan leader neglects duties for three years, others can compete for the clan leadership. Currently, the other Miao Villages have already started preparing."

Liang Hongkuan said, "What you need to do is very simple, which is to help Taijiang Village win in the upcoming competition for the clan leader of the Miao Village."

After going around such a big circle, I didn't expect to be caught up in this mess in the end.

Ren Feng sighed lightly in his heart. This really couldn't be avoided. He didn't actually intend to meddle in the competition for the village chief of Taijiang Village, but unexpectedly, fate decreed he couldn't avoid it.

"Alright, I'll help." Ren Feng nodded and said.

"If you help, I hope that Mr. Wu's faction wins." Liang Hongkuan put some greens into his bowl, "I am confident in my judgment; Mr. Wu is more suitable for the position of village chief than Mr. Miao."

Ren Feng nodded, he sorted things out in his mind. Now there are two factions within Taijiang Village competing for the position of village chief, and other Miao Villages are also competing for the clan leadership position.

This is, indeed, a bit tricky.

After finishing breakfast, Doudou came running in.

"Sister Keqing, let's go hunting. Brother Wu Meng and the others are all ready."

"Alright." Liang Keqing smiled, grabbing her bow and arrow.

"Young man, you should go with them too. Don't worry too much, things will work out as they come." Liang Hongkuan smiled and said.

"Thank you, Uncle Liang."

Ren Feng also went out with Liang Keqing. Outside, Wu Meng whom he met yesterday and many others were waiting.

"You're going too?" A young man of the Miao Race looked at Ren Feng with some curiosity.

"Yeah, I'm going to take a look." Ren Feng smiled.

"Alright, then I'll protect you." The young man said.

Ren Feng couldn't help but laugh, "No need, I don't need protection."

"How can that be? The forest outside the village is very dangerous, with many ferocious beasts. You, an ordinary person, might not even know when you're in danger."

The other men also laughed, "Just don't take him with you."

"Right, he's just a burden, he'll only reduce our prey count."

Wu Meng frowned slightly, "What are you saying? Since he's a guest of Keqing, there's no harm in taking him along. Do we not have the capability to protect one person? How will we protect the people of Miao Village in the future?"

Those men fell silent at these words.

Ren Feng smiled, "It's okay, I'll go with you and pay attention to my own safety."

"Mm, then let's go together."

Doudou immediately cheered up.

Everyone headed out of the Miao Village, and soon they reached a forest.

"There's a rabbit, we'll have rabbit stew tonight, watch me."

A young man saw a wild rabbit not far away, his eyes brightened immediately, he drew his bow and shot, and the arrow hit the rabbit.

"Alright, I hit it, I got the first point."

Everyone walked forward, and Doudou took out a small box.

"Doudou, you're not allowed to use the venomous insects." Wu Meng immediately scolded.
