397 Magical Night
A group of yellow-skinned, tattered people rushed out of the stockade and rushed to this side, with a smile on their faces that were even grateful: "It's coming, it's finally here!"
As soon as he saw these people, Xu San subconsciously stepped forward and pulled Xu Wen behind his back to protect him.
Then when he saw the images and expressions of these people, he was a little stunned, thinking that he had misunderstood?
"We haven't shown our sights yet, how did they see us?" Xu Wen asked suddenly and softly.
He was right, they had just arrived at the pass, and they were still a little far from there, and theoretically they should be in the blind spot of these people's vision, how could they see them so quickly and come out?
This is obviously an eye on the outside!
"You're right!" Xu San was suddenly awe-struck, and pulled Xu Wen back again.
The group ran faster than they had imagined, and in the blink of an eye they were in front of them. There are too many people on the other side, and they are very experienced, blocking them from all directions, and this time, they can't run away if they want to.
"Careless. Xu San chuckled in his heart, feeling that it was not good.
It is clear that they have been brought here, and these people are indeed well prepared, and they are waiting here for them to enter the urn. Now it's troublesome, blocked here, and they're directly in crisis!
But how did the other party know about the candy wrapper? If it weren't for it, they wouldn't have been fooled.
"Don't be nervous. At this time, Xu Wen grabbed his elbow and said softly.
Even at such times, his voice remained steady and clear, and he didn't seem to be worried at all.
Then, he stepped forward, looked up and asked, "Is this Wuyao Village?"
"Yes, yes, it's Wuyao Village!" a loud voice preemptively said.
Xu San looked at him, and saw that this person was tall, with a beard and copper bell eyes, and he looked a little powerful. But because he was too thin, there was only a bone frame left in his body, and his tattered clothes were dangling on his body.
Xu San's mind suddenly had a name, but he couldn't believe it.
This man looked as poor and thin as the people around him, how could he be the leader of the robbers? And as a robber, was his expression too flattering?
"What do you call Your Excellency?" Xu asked.
"My surname is Hu, my name is Hu Zhenshan, you can just call me Lao/Hu!" said with a smile, very kind.
Old/Hu Tiger?
Hu Zhenshan: Isn't it Zhenshan Tiger upside down?
Xu San couldn't believe it.
"The owner of the Five Kiln Village?" Xu Wen immediately asked.
"Yes, yes, ah, no, no, what kind of village owner, is a village chief, right to the village chief!" Hu Zhenshan had a smile on his face and a very good temper.
However, halfway through the laugh, he suddenly covered his mouth, the light was too dim, and only after his reminder did Xu San notice that his chin was a little swollen, and the color around one eye was also a little dim.
Xu San looked at the people behind him, and found that it was not only Hu Zhenshan, but also the more than 20 people behind him, each of whom had some injuries on their bodies, and some of them even had branches tied to their arms, which were obviously broken bones.
What is going on? When I was in Longtou Village, I didn't hear that anyone was going to do anything to them?
However, thinking of the letter that lured them all the way, and the abnormal behavior of these people in front of him, Xu San couldn't help but have a bold guess.
"Is there any letter for us?" Xu Wen glanced at them and asked suddenly.
"Yes, yes!" Hu Zhenshan was obviously a little surprised and asked how he would know about the letter, but he quickly agreed, took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, and carefully handed it to him.
Xu Wen took it and hurriedly glanced at it, handed it to Xu San, Xu San opened it and saw that the content on it was very concise, with only one word.
"Look. ”
What does this mean......
Look, what to see?
Xu San was confused for a while, but when he saw that Xu Wen had understood, he nodded and said, "Then take us over." ”
"Yes!" Hu Zhenshan replied loudly, "It's a little dark, please be careful of your step!"
It's a little dark, but tonight's moonlight is exceptionally bright, and the surrounding area is silver, which doesn't affect their vision, and they don't feel like they need a special reminder.
Xu Wen nodded again and asked, "Is there a lamp?"
Hu Zhenshan smiled heartily and said loudly: "It's been prepared a long time ago!"
At this moment, a man trotted over from behind and handed over a torch.
The torch was obviously specially made, and the torch head was wrapped around the tarpaulin, so the flame burned extremely hot, instantly illuminating the people and scenery around it.
In this way, Xu San could see more clearly, everyone present had a blue nose and swollen face, and it was a new injury, obviously not long after being beaten. But it's also very strange that the smiles on their faces are shining brightly, without a hint of falsehood!
It's so weird to be beaten and still be so happy...... Xu San shuddered, but Xu Wen signaled very calmly: "Thank you, then please take the trouble to take the road again." ”
"No problem!" Hu Zhenshan readily agreed, took the torch, turned around and walked into the village.
Xu Wen immediately followed, Xu San wanted to stop it a little, but hesitated for a moment and still followed.
"Our village is called Wuyao Village, because the five caves connected together on the front, one main and four vices, are auspicious. ”
Hu Zhenshan walked in front with a torch, and he actually introduced them while lighting the road.
What's going on?
Xu San was a little stunned, and Xu Wen seemed to be a little surprised, but he still nodded very calmly and asked, "This cave looks like it has been very long, when was it built?"
"Then I don't know. Hu Zhenshan led them to the entrance of the cave in front of them, shook his head and said, "When my grandfather's grandfather was still there, this cave was there." At that time, this place was called Wuyao Village, and I don't know who dug this hole in the front, but the people in the back passed it down from generation to generation, and a new hole was dug next to this hole, and the small village expanded into a big village. ”
Xu San looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw that there were also caves on the mountain walls on both sides, stacked in two rows on top of each other, with an average size, dug very neatly.
If they all lived, this used to be a big village......
"Why did this Wuyao Village become a Wuyao Village later, did you do it?" Xu Wen asked lightly, but for some reason Xu San couldn't help but shudder.
"No, no, no, we Hu Laohu are notoriously not doing anything to their own family!" Hu Zhenshan obviously felt the same way, and hurriedly waved his hand, and the firelight flickered and flickered, "We went out when we were young, and we didn't come back until ten years later." When I came back, the village was gone, and I heard that there was an epidemic. Our father, our mother, our grandmother, our sister, all gone. ”
Xu San remembered that the people in Longtou Village said that Hu Zhenshan brought his younger brother back, which was also a glorious return for him. When I came back, my whole family was gone...... Or because of the epidemic, I can't blame others, I can only blame my own bad life.
Xu San knew that his hands were stained with blood, but he still felt a little empathy, and felt a sense of pity in his heart.
"What is the disease?" asked Xu Wen.
"An epidemic is an epidemic, is there any other disease?" Hu Zhenshan was at a loss.
After all, it was ten years ago, and the sadness on his face quickly disappeared, and he put on that flattering smile again, and said to Xu Wen, "There are steps ahead, go slowly, there is a kiln on it, dug against the mountain, and it is all bluestone, and it has been many years, and there ......is no crack at all."
He chattered and was very attentive, and Xu San suddenly felt a burst of wonder.
Is this really real?
In the middle of the night, in a place that has become a den of bandits due to the extinction of the epidemic, listen to a bandit leader explain the situation of the cave to them?
And this bandit was obviously subdued......
He glanced at Xu Wen, who listened and watched, very seriously, as if he was not surprised by this matter.
Does he know who did it?
This reaction made Xu San think of someone, so he was even more incredible-
Impossible!
