The small mountain village is not big.

Built on a hillside, all the houses are stone bungalows.

Perhaps because of its age, the houses look a little dilapidated.

"Cough, cough, cough ......" Yang Pojia coughed dryly a few times, and his pale face was already a little bloody.

"Are you alright?" Li Ning glanced at him.

Fortunately, this kid is strong and strong, and Liao Sanming didn't kill him.

Otherwise, it will not only hurt the internal organs, but it is estimated that the corpse will already be raised.

But even if you swallow the Rejuvenation Pill, it will take a while to fully recover.

"I... I didn't... I'm fine......" Yang Pojia shook his head with difficulty.

"It seems that we can only let Niu San and them go first. Li Ning frowned.

"I can carry it, young master. Yang Pojia didn't want to delay his time because of himself.

"It's okay, I'll ......," Li Ning waved his hand indifferently.

Suddenly.

The doors of the village in front of me opened one by one.

Accompanied by the sound of 'da-da' footsteps.

Old men in their sixties and seventies came out of the house.

After a while, it seemed that the whole village came.

And all eyes stared directly at the two of them, and there was some kind of inexplicable look in their eyes.

"I'm the village chief here, do you have anything to do with the two young men coming to us?" At this time, an old man about fifty or sixty years old came from behind, and asked with a smile.

"Just passing by, I want to take a break here, don't mind. Li Ning replied as he put his hand down.

"Of course I don't mind, it's been a long time since we've been young people in Shicun, please come with me. The old village chief smiled and nodded.

"What do you mean, don't you have any young people here?" Li Ning asked in surprise as he walked beside Yang Pojia, but his attention was always focused on the old people around him.

Somehow, it always feels weird.

The old people around, both men and women, were laughing, but none of them spoke.

But although he didn't speak, he hugged the three people and walked towards the house at the top of the hillside.

It's as if ...... I'm afraid that the two of them will run away.

"Young people choose to live in the city, and no one wants to live with us in the middle of nowhere. The old village chief shook his head, and then pointed to the stone house in front of him: "This is my home." ”

"Understood. Li Ning nodded.

"Please come in, just rest at my house, the room is still enough. The old village chief led the way in.

Enter the house.

Li Ning glanced at it and found that it was very simple, and there were no trendy things, all of them were old things.

There was even a musty smell in the house, as if something was moldy.

At this time, he glanced outside the door and found that these old men who did not speak were standing in the doorway, crowded with people, staring at them all the time.

It's weird and confusing.

"Don't they have to go home for dinner?" asked Li Ning, pointing to them at the door.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone, and I'm a little excited and curious. The village chief explained and walked to the door.

"Let's all go back. ”

"Look no further. ”

"What do you do if you scare people away?"

"Let's go!"

He waved his hands to drive away, and the old men reluctantly looked away and turned to walk back.

However, one step at a time, three times back.

Looked and looked.

Those who see it are hairy.

"Are you hungry? I've just made a meal!" asked the old village chief, smiling apologetically.

"Are you hungry?" Li Ning looked at Yang Pojia.

"Sort of. Yang Pojia stretched out his hand and scratched his head, saying embarrassedly.

"I'm not hungry, just prepare one for him. Li Ning said to the village chief.

"It's okay, it's not enough for me to cook again, although it's not as good as you in the city, but it's full. The old village chief waved his hand very warmly, and then smiled and lifted the curtain made of black cloth and entered the kitchen.

"Young master, how do I feel weird and uncomfortable here. Yang Pojia couldn't help but whisper after waiting for him to leave.

"Be careful, I don't think something is right too. Li Ning bowed slightly.

An ordinary small mountain village.

A lonely old man in a village.

However, there was no one who spoke, as if all the people in a village were dumb.

But the village chief can speak.

It can even be said that the village chief is the most normal-looking person in the entire village.

Not one of them.

"Come on, come on...... Cornmeal porridge. After a while, the village chief came out with two bowls of polenta in his hands.

The porcelain bowl is the size of a palm, filled with pale yellow sticky cornmeal, and the aroma of the heat is overwhelming.

One left and one right were placed in front of Li Ning and Yang Pojia.

Then the old village chief took out a plate of blackened pickled radishes and placed them in the middle of the table.

"It's so fragrant!" Yang Pojia's eyes straightened, and he couldn't help swallowing.

"Eat, eat whatever you want, the countryside is like this, don't dislike it. The old village chief looked at the two with a smile and shook his rough right hand.

"You're welcome. Yang Pojia couldn't bear it first, so he took the chopsticks and pulled them into his mouth, and drank loudly.

"Why don't you eat it?" The old village chief was happy to eat when he saw him, but Li Ning remained motionless and looked at him suspiciously.

"Didn't I say that I'm not hungry. Li Ning said lightly.

Since he cultivated, he didn't have much interest in ordinary ingredients.

Unless it's the kind of food made by the genius earth treasure, which contains a lot of energy.

Otherwise, cultivation alone is enough for the body's needs.

"Young man, you don't dislike me, do you?" said the old village chief.

"I don't mean to be disgusted, I just don't want to be hungry. Li Ning patiently explained.

"If you don't dislike it, I'll be satisfied with even one bite, really. The old village chief looked at him directly and said seriously.

"Okay. Li Ning nodded after hesitation.

After all, in other people's homes, such enthusiasm can't make people's hot faces stick to cold butts.

Although it felt that something was not quite right in the village, it was just a feeling, and nothing else was discovered.

Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much.

Therefore, in the face of the old village chief's hot eyes, he had no choice but to pick up chopsticks and send the sticky cornmeal porridge into his mouth.

The hot porridge runs down the open thin lips and stuffs into the teeth, turning into a thin layer and lying on the taste buds.

The rich, sweet heat runs down the throat and into the body.

After taking a bite, Li Ning felt hot all over his body, which was very comfortable.

Pick up a piece of blackened pickled radish, although the color is not good, but when you bite into it, it is crunchy.

One piece is stuffed into three pieces and stuffed into the mouth, and the salty juice is mixed with the sweet polenta.

After chewing, the taste fills the whole mouth, the mouth is full of sweet and sour, and the appetite is opened.

I just want to take a bite.

As a result, within a few minutes, the bowl of hot cornmeal porridge was drunk by Li Ning.

It's incredibly satisfying.

"How's it going, does it taste good?" the old village chief watched the two of them drink it all in one go, and suddenly showed a satisfied smile.

"It tastes very good!" Yang Pojia gave a thumbs up.

"Yes!" Li Ning nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to clean up your room, and to be honest, it's been a long time since a young man has appeared. The old village chief got up and walked towards the room on the right.

Wait for him to come out again.

The pickled radish on the table is gone.

Most of them were eaten by Yang Pojia.

"Is it enough? If it's not enough, there's still it in the pot!" asked the old village chief, holding a thin stack of bedding.

"No need. Li Ning waved his hand.

"I... I'm not full yet. Yang Pojia raised his hand embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I'll go and serve you another bowl, young people should eat more, it's time to grow up. The old village chief put down the futon, picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of the two of them, and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, another bowl of hot cornmeal porridge was placed in front of Yang Pojia.

And, of course, a new plate of pickled radish.

Yang Pojia rubbed his hands excitedly and continued to lie on the table and eat happily.

Seeing him eat so happily, Li Ning couldn't help but smile.

"Young man, what are you two doing here, just the two of you?" asked the old village chief, wiping his wet hands, and then sat down on the bench.

"It's just passing by, it's just the two of us for the time being. Li Ning replied truthfully.

"How long will you stay?" asked the old village chief again.

"Maybe I'll leave in the afternoon. Li Ning is not so sure.

Yang Pojia was shocked and injured his internal organs, and he didn't know the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill, and he didn't know how long it would take to recover.

Basically, when he was better enough to walk normally, he would leave here.

That's what he intended.

After all, you can't leave the convoy for too long.

In case the people of the medicine gate chase and kill again, it may not be enough to rely on the same person.

For example, this time, if he hadn't been there, the convoy would have been stopped in Taro.

"I'd like to keep you for a few more days. The old village chief said with some regret.

"Hehe-" Li Ning laughed dryly a few times and didn't say much.

Wait for Yang Pojia to finish eating.

The two entered the cleaned room.

The room was not very large, with a wooden bed with a layer of bedding on top.

Not as soft and elastic as Simmons.

But it's also quite comfortable to sit on.

"This old man is much better than the one in my village. Yang Pojia's body of more than two meters was barely shrunk on the bed.

"Isn't this a normal thing, it's an instinct to be warm to outsiders. Li Ning said as he closed the door and climbed into bed.

"Young master, I'm a little sleepy. Yang Pojia yawned while lying on the other side of the bed.

"Sleep when you're sleepy. Li Ning sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate with his eyes closed.

Huhuhuhu-

However, as soon as the words fell, Yang Pojia really fell asleep.

Fall asleep.

Saliva flowed down the corners of his open mouth.

"This kid. Li Ning shook his head with a smile.

But at this time, a sudden sleepiness hit.

Originally, it was okay for a congenital master not to sleep for a week.

After all, cultivation has replaced rest.

But this sleepiness came inexplicably.

He even found that he couldn't even raise the spirit to resist.

It's like a mess in my head.

There was an invisible hand stirring, and his consciousness became more and more drowsy.

After a few struggles, he fell asleep with his head drooping.

Squeak.

The closed door slowly opened.

A rough palm came in from the outside.
