That night, when the moon was in the treetops, the Jiuniang ditch was already dark.

The people in the mountains have no entertainment at night, so they blow out the lamp and go to bed early.

There is a young couple living at the entrance of the village, and the creaking movement in the room is like showing off, spreading far and wide, and listening to Lao Liu's heart itching.

Lao Liu, whose big name is Liu Shunfu, is fifty-six years old this year, and he is the second-generation envoy of the Dragon King in Waixinganling.

The first generation of Dragon King envoys, his father Liu Dechang, died fifteen years ago.

The family learning and the son inheriting the father's business are normal in the eyes of the mountain people.

Lao Liu was holding a gray donkey at the moment, carrying a comatose starling in his arms, walking on the village road in Jiunianggou.

This thousands of miles of mountain road, Jiunianggou is regarded as a foothold on the way when he presided over the dragon king festival in each village.

Here, there is a small cabin of his, which usually does not live in people, only during the Dragon King Festival, he will sleep for a night or two when he passes by.

Tie the donkey outside the door, and Lao Liu pushed the door into the house.

He didn't light the lamp, first, he was afraid that the light would shine out and attract people from outside the mountain, and second, the lamp oil was very expensive here, and he was a little reluctant.

Taking the starling out of his arms and gently placing it on the kang, Lao Liu got up and returned to the house again, and took out a handful of herbs from the blanket hanging on the donkey.

These herbs were picked by hand when he saw them when he was running on the mountain road before.

Back in the house, just as he was about to find the stone mortar and mash these herbs, Lao Liu glanced at the kang, and then was stunned for a moment.

Starlings are gone.

Lao Liu turned his head and found that the starling had just jumped on the windowsill and flapped his wings twice.

Unfortunately, it didn't fly and fell headlong on the windowsill.

"Why are you more stubborn than a donkey!" Lao Liu walked a few steps quickly, held the starling in the palm of his hand, and put it back in the quilt on the kang.

The starling bird didn't pass out this time, and looked at Lao Liu with blinking eyes.

Lao Liu found the stone mortar, sat on the kang with his buttocks, and looked at the bird on his bed.

"The eyes are like talking. Lao Liu smiled and began to pound the medicine in his hand, "I know you." ”

The starling bird was silent.

"The doorway of the Lin family is called 'Yufeng', which was as famous as our Liu family's 'Mulong' back then. You're the phoenix of the Lin family, right?"

The starling bird was stunned.

"The dragon and the phoenix sound so beautiful. But the dragon swims in shallow water and is played by shrimp, and the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Lao Liu stopped, shook his head, took out the medicinal mud in the stone mortar, and handed it to the starling bird, "Since you are also a fallen person at the end of the world, don't pretend to be garlic with me, I know you can understand people's words, lie down, I will give you medicine." ”

Starling stared at Lao Liu for a while, rolled over the quilt, and exposed his belly.

Lao Liu said while giving it medicine: "The bullet grazed along the belly, and the internal organs were injured, but it's okay, apply the medicine and sleep well, don't make a fuss, with your physique, you can go to heaven in a week." ”

After saying this, Lao Liu smiled self-deprecatingly: "Why doesn't this sound right?"

"Who are you?" Hachi finally spoke.

"Your master is the descendant of the Six Hunters. Lao Liu reported to his family, "My door is called Mumen." Mumen has water and drought, and I, Liu Shunfu, am the successor of the Liu family of water pasture. ”

"Haven't heard of it. Hachi said.

"Hehe, of course I haven't heard of it now. If it had been a hundred years ago, our Mumen would have been no worse than the Hunter Gate. Lao Liu shook his head and said with embarrassment, "It's just that the world has changed." ”

"Aren't you a dragon king's emissary?"

"It's just a part-time job. Lao Liu was a little embarrassed on his face, "You always have to eat with a mouthful of food." ”

......

Anne was so anxious that the two-kilometer mountain road was like walking on the ground, and soon she came to the river.

Rushing to the edge of the woods and seeing the sparkling river reflecting the moon in the sky, Anne finally calmed down.

She realized that there was a gunman lurking nearby.

Anne was trying to find a safe place to use "Listening Mountain" again to determine the Sniper's current location, when she suddenly changed her mind.

Because she found that Lin Shuo was standing by the river.

Like standing in that river valley, Lin Shuo stood quietly by the water's edge.

This man is really not afraid of death!

Anne muttered to herself, but she hadn't rushed up to push him this time.

In addition to not being able to push it, Anne also knew that there must be a reason why Lin Shuo dared to stand like this.

Lin Shuo had apparently spotted her as well, and he turned around, beckoned at her, and motioned for her to come over.

Anne walked out of the woods, and only then did she see that there was a black mess at Lin Shuo's feet.

When she got closer, Anne felt her stomach churn, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose with her hand and looked away.

This mass on the ground is actually a corpse.

The way this corpse died was very strange, as if a person was just standing like this, and something fell on his head, slapping him flat at once.

It's such a thin layer on the ground, you can't recognize anything, and the smell is fishy.

Anne looked at Lin Shuo, and the faint affection for this man in her heart disappeared all of a sudden.

She finally remembered the man's prestige, and unconsciously took a small step back.

In her mind, Lin Shuo definitely has the ability to make a living person look like this.

Lin Shuo was originally thinking about something, but when he saw Anne's abnormal behavior, he was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You...... You killed him?" Anne asked softly, looking at him.

"The skills I learned are not used to deal with people, and I won't kill people easily. Lin Shuo looked at the sparkling water, "Something killed him before I arrived." ”

"Something?" Anne quickly looked around.

"Hmm. Lin Shuo twitched his nose and smelled the air, "It's the Black Water Dragon King." ”

"Huh?" Anne looked surprised, "Has the Black Water Dragon King been here?"

Lin Shuo nodded and said, "This Dragon Lord is doing things neatly, and when I arrive, this person has already become like this." ”

"Why did the Blackwater Dragon King kill him?" asked Anne.

"I don't know. Lin Shuo shook his head.

......

"Old man, I'm going back. Hachi lay on the kang and said in his mouth.

"Don't worry, that master of yours will stay in Xing'anling outside for a while. Lao Liu shook his head, "When you are healed, I will personally send you back." ”

"Send me back in person?" Xiao Ba stared at Lai Liu with straight eyes and asked, "Old man, do you have something to do with Brother Shuo." ”

Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the phoenix of the Lin family, and it is really smart." I have something to trouble your master. Originally, this matter was indeed a bit difficult to talk about, but now that I am lucky to save you, it should be easy to speak. ”

"Since you saved me, Brother Shuo will promise you general things. Hachi said, "However, if you make any unreasonable demands, old man, I advise you not to seek death." My brother Shuo has a bad temper, and he can't stand being coerced by others. ”

"You can rest assured. Lao Liu said, "I, Lao Liu, have lived for so many years, and I still know the proportions." ”

"That's good, but I'm still going back, right now. Xiaoba struggled to stand up, "Old man, don't worry, Eighth Master, I'm not an ungrateful person, you saved my life, I admit this account." This favor, I will let Brother Shuo pay you back when I go back. ”

"What's so anxious?" Lao Liu puzzled, "You're injured like this, how can you go back?"

"Even if you can't fly, you have to climb back. ”

Xiao Ba stumbled and jumped off the quilt, but was grabbed by Lao Liu.

"Old man, let go of me!" Hachi flapped his wings and struggled.

Lao Liu's hands, with Xiao Ba's struggle, continue to rise and fall, Xiao Ba stepped on his hands as if he was stepping on cotton, and he couldn't borrow strength at all.

"Okay, little phoenix, don't make trouble, otherwise the medicine will be in vain. Lao Liu kept his hand and said, "Let me guess, did you find out that there are some people in the Outer Xing'an Mountains who are wrong and want to go back to report to your master?"

Hachi stopped struggling and asked strangely, "How do you know?"

"I found out three days ago. Lao Liu smiled slightly, "If this is the case, don't worry about it, I'm already doing it." ”

"You're already doing it, what can you do?" Hachi asked.

Lao Liu said lightly: "Our water herding Liu family, although it is worse than the next generation, but we still know how to guard our own territory.

Your master is too powerful for me to provoke. But if other people use knives and guns here, and dare to chase me on the ten-mile mountain road, then my old Liu will not be so easy to speak. ”
