093 Enter the village
This time, Ah Jiu also went with him, because he wanted to refine a higher level of medicine, so he could only go to the Demon Beast Forest to find older herbs, and there was also a shortage of demon pills, so Ah Jiu suspended refining the elixir.
Lin Xu didn't fly there, because Lin Xi wanted to take a carriage, although the carriage was very bumpy, she still didn't want to be caught in the wind and rain.
The carriage staggered forward, because the carriage was running, so Lin Xi was very tired.
"Parking. Lin Xi was shaken and had a headache.
The fast-moving carriage slowly stopped.
"Sister, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Xu immediately jumped off the horse and hurriedly ran towards Lin Xi's carriage.
"How long are we going to sit in the carriage at the current speed?" Lin Xi asked as he jumped out of the carriage and moved his limbs.
"Three months. Xi Bingxuan walked over from behind.
"So long?" Lin Xi was speechless, three months, she had only been in the carriage for three days, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's still a continuous rush. ”
"You won't tell me that you have to travel even at night, right?" Lin Xi couldn't believe it.
"No, it's too dark at night to see the road. Xi Bingxuan said.
That is, if there are lights at night. They must have to travel even at night.
"System, if I go back to the original world and travel back over, can I set the coordinates?"
"Master, you have to scan all the topographic maps of this world into the system. ”
"Then you should hurry up and sweep it. Lin Xi said.
"The host, it takes 48 hours during which the system is unavailable. ”
"Then you hurry up and get started, I'll be patient for another two days. Lin Xi felt that he had such a golden finger as a system, how could he still be so wronged by himself.
"I just want to rest for a while, let's go now. "Lin Xi won't delay everyone's time because he wants to rest, that's hundreds of people.
All went for another day and spent the night in a village.
Because there were too many people for fear of scaring the villagers, the large army rested in the forest outside the village, and the team entered the village and asked the villagers to prepare food for them.
Lin Xi can't use the system for the time being, so he can only eat with him, and there must be no small stove or anything.
Without the system, Lin Xi knew how dependent she was on the system.
"Uncle, why is there only one grandson in your family at home?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
In ancient times, it was not common to pay attention to having more children and more blessings, and this family only had one grandson and two old people.
"Alas, don't mention it. The old man sighed and said.
When the old couple heard Lin Xi's words, their faces were sad.
"Is something wrong?" Lin Xi is not a nosy person, but when he saw that the grandson of the old couple was very well-behaved, only three or four years old, he was very polite to bring her water.
"There are monsters in the mountains behind our village, and they go down the mountain at night to eat people. Alas, the son and daughter-in-law ...... Alas......... Why is our life so miserable...... What the hell is this...... Right in front of us...... Eat them all right in front of us......" The old woman sat on the ground excitedly, pounding her hands on the ground, sad and painful.
Lin Xi suddenly asked about this matter with some regret, and stretched out his hand to help the person up, but he didn't know what to say.
Their three or four-year-old grandson didn't know why his grandmother was crying, so he ran over and took the old woman's hand: "Grandma...... Grandma ......"
The grandmother who screamed again and again made people feel sad.
"God-damned monster, my grandson has become a poor child without a father and mother...... What can I do in the future...... What will he do when we two old guys die......"
"Grandma...... Don't cry...... Grandma, Xiaojie will be very well-behaved in the future...... Grandma, don't you cry......"
The old man turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Uncle, can you tell me about the monsters?
"Alas, the monster looked a little like a wolf, but it had long fangs, and its body was several times larger than a wolf, and it came down from time to time to eat people, and this has happened no less than ten times this year.
The young and middle-aged people in the village, as long as they have some ability, have already left the village with their families, and the rest are either like our family and have no place to go, or they are old people who are reluctant to leave the village.
We used to have hundreds of people in Daxi Village, but now there are only about 100 left. Alas, the government sent people twice, saying that they had gone into the mountains to fight monsters, but in the end they did not come out, and since then the government has no longer cared about the life or death of our village. ”
Lin Xi listened to the old man's words, and always felt that what he said was not an ordinary wolf but a demon beast.
Could it be that in addition to the Demon Beast Forest, there are also demon beasts in other places?
The most important thing is why do monsters come down the mountain to attack people?
The larger the beast, the more likely it is to hide in the deep mountains and not get out of the forest easily, so as long as it is not deep in the forest, large beasts generally do not appear.
Lin Xi was here listening to the old man talking about things in the village, Xi Bingxuan was at the village chief's house, and the village chief knelt in front of him and cried for something.
It turned out that the village chief organized the people in the village to send food to those awakened people outside the village, and after learning that Xi Bingxuan had hundreds of people, he knew that Xi Bingxuan's identity was definitely not simple, so he knelt down and begged him to hope that he could go into the mountain to kill monsters.
Originally, the position of the village chief was given to his son, but later because of the monster incident, the village chief let his son and daughter-in-law's family leave the village, but the villagers in the village couldn't be left alone, so he could only stay.
If they can ask Xi Bingxuan to help them kill the monsters this time, then no one in their village will be eaten again, and his son and daughter-in-law can also move back from the county seat, and it is much more difficult to make a living in the city than in the village.
"Whew......"
Before the village chief could finish begging Xi Bingxuan, a wolf's howl sounded.
Then the remaining 100 or so people in the village let out cries of terror.
"Youkai has come down the mountain......"
"The monster has come down the mountain to eat people again. ”
"It's over...... it's over"
"The people of our village will definitely be eaten up, and sooner or later one day they will definitely be eaten up......"
The sound of all kinds of ghosts crying and howling wolves resounded in the night sky.
Lin Xi, who lived in the old couple's house, stood up abruptly and ran outside.
"Girl, don't go out, you'll leave when the monster is full, you'll definitely be eaten if you go out now." The old man shouted at Lin Xi's back.
The villagers have no power to resist the demon beast at all, so they can only wait for him to finish eating and leave, as for who will be eaten, no one can take care of anyone, because even the government doesn't care about them, they can only get by like this, resigned to fate.
"Thank you, uncle, I'll go out and have a look. Lin Xi thanked him gently and hurriedly ran out.
After walking out of the door, he found that Xi Bingxuan had already come over here.
"There are monsters in this village. Xi Bingxuan said to Lin Xi.
"I heard from the uncle of the house where I lived, it should be a wolf demon. Lin Xi said.
