After speaking, Li Shan continued to speak, analyzing the pros and cons, "I know that there are many people who advocate leaving their homeland, although it is a way to avoid the fierce beasts that attack the village due to lack of food in winter. But if it is a migration, not to mention how many people are unwilling to leave this native homeland, every family has a junior, how can they bear the pain of migration.

Also, who can guarantee that you will not encounter the attack of fierce beasts on the way to migrate, and how can you guarantee that you will find a suitable migration place for survival. ”

The variables of migration are too great, and you have to fight with the sky, the earth, and the fierce beasts, and you are more likely to fight with people. Among them, it is dangerous and abnormal, and if you are not careful, you will end up with the destruction of the whole village. Moreover, a suitable place to live will always attract a lot of people to compete for. Their ancestors went through a struggle of blood and fire before they took root here, how could they say that they would let go.

How can the fertile land that our ancestors have won by overcoming obstacles and thorns be given to others like this?

"Na Li Shan, what do you think we should do?" a villager spoke.

"First of all, consign the corpses of those dead beasts in the mountain, although those beasts have no divine essence in their bodies, they can finally fill their stomachs. The women and children smoked bacon at home, and all the able-bodied laborers were sent out to lay bricks and stones around the village and build defenses, the stronger the better, and all this must be done before winter. Wait until next year, and we'll look for another Xuanling!" Li Shan issued an order in an orderly manner.

Although the blood-sucking beast in the mountains may be lurking somewhere, in order to survive, they have no choice but to take this risk.

Li Shan led a group of people into the mountains, firstly, to consign back those dead fierce beasts, and secondly, if there were many people, maybe the blood-sucking beasts hiding in the shadows would not dare to move. Even if the vampire beast did strike at everyone, it might be able to repel it if there were too many people. The third is to take Jiang You back to the village.

Everyone understood that this crisis was not child's play, and they mobilized one by one.

At the request of the middle-aged man, the girl could only return home with Long Yin in her arms.

"Xiaoqing, you said that Daddy, they and Brother Jiang You will be fine, and they won't really run into that blood-sucking beast. The girl was worried about everyone's safety and seemed listless. just kept playing with Long Yin's ears.

Long Yin couldn't help but roll his eyes, how can there be any blood-sucking beasts in the mountains, and the blood-sucking ones are being scratched by your ears.

"Tiantian, what's going on in the village?" the girl's mother walked in.

For the girl's mother, the feeling brought to Long Yin is very different from that of other women. Whether it is clothing or conversation, it does not look like the style of a mountain woman. On the contrary, her behavior gave people a very gentle feeling, originally he thought that the girl's mother was an arrogant and unreasonable woman, but the result was the opposite.

He finally knew why the middle-aged man would come home regularly every day to light a fire and cook, because the girl and her mother didn't know how to do housework at all.

Her skin is well maintained, even if she is thirty or forty years old, she is still white and smooth, and has not experienced any wind and frost. And even if she was wearing the simple clothes in the mountains, she couldn't hide her appearance at all.

If it weren't for so many days of getting along, Long Yin would have felt that the girl and her mother had been robbed by a middle-aged man out of nowhere and used as Mrs. Zhai. How can a good flower be covered with a pile of cow dung?

It seems that the girl's father and mother have an unusual story.

Seeing her mother ask herself, the girl relayed everything that had just happened.

Whether it was the disappearance of the vampire beast or the mysterious spirit, it didn't make the woman's expression change much, and she was very calm from beginning to end. This made Long Yin a little surprised.

"Don't worry, your father will be fine, we'll just wait for them here. After listening to the girl's description, the woman touched her daughter's head and laughed softly.

Until it was almost sunset, the people who had rushed to the mountains rushed back, each carrying a fierce beast that had lost its essence and blood.

"That's a celestial elephant!" the people who stayed in the village said in surprise when they saw a huge elephant corpse.

"That's the Xuan Python!"

"Giant Cow!"

......

One by one, the beasts were carried back, and everyone looked at the huge corpses, and many of them were recognized at a glance.

No matter which one of them is, it is an existence that is difficult to resist in the hearts of everyone, and without the joint efforts of a few adults, it cannot be subdued at all.

Li Shan directed the people to carry the corpses and placed them in a large open space. Looking at the huge corpses of these fierce beasts, Li Shan was full of heaviness.

In one night, more than thirty fierce beasts were killed, and the strength of that vampire beast was simply not something they could compete with. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart, fortunately he didn't meet the blood-sucking beast in the mountains, otherwise they would all have been lost in it.

Needless to say, everyone had their own business, with the men beginning to chop the flesh with great bone, and the women skilfully separating the huge pieces of flesh and hanging them with ropes that had been prepared in advance.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the huge beasts were gradually separated and skinned. Until the evening, there were still about twenty corpses that had not been divided. The big guy lit a huge bonfire and roasted some cut pieces of meat on it, and in a short time, the smell of meat spread.

Families gathered around the huge bonfire and began to eat the roasted pieces of meat that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and they ate a kind of meat called Jumping Mountain, which was like an alpaca and a tiger and a leopard, and the meat was very tender, and they ate it with their mouths full of oil.

Long Yin was stained with the girl's light, and also got a piece of barbecue that was not too big or small, and only after taking a bite, Long Yin was deeply obsessed with this taste, and he couldn't wait to reel his tongue into his stomach.

After a short break after dinner, everyone gathered around the campfire and continued to work.

The adults dispose of the carcasses of the beasts, while the children are responsible for making the bonfires burn. The children were having fun and playing together, and from time to time there would be one or two scoldings from adults.

The whole village is bustling with activity.

The girl sat not far away with a small bench on her shoulder, quietly watching the adults dispose of the carcasses of the beasts. She didn't play with her peers, which made Long Yin very strange, he always felt that the girl was a little withdrawn. It seems that except for the young Jiang You, he doesn't talk to anyone else. She prefers to spend time with animals rather than play with other people her age.

After Long Yin glanced around, he found that the young Jiang You was not here, could it be that the girl would be lacking in interest.

He didn't bother to get involved in the matter of the boy and the girl, and he was watching with great interest as the men dismantled the corpses of the beasts.

The busy figures of those people reminded him of his childhood. I remember when I was a child, during the Chinese New Year, the village was also so lively when the pigs were killed.

Until late at night, the girl finally couldn't resist the tiredness and returned home with Long Yin in her arms.

After the girl fell asleep, Long Yin came to the boy's house as before.

As soon as he entered, Long Yin found that the boy had not fallen asleep as before, but had been sitting at the table, as if waiting for him to come.

"Those fierce beasts, did you kill them!" As soon as Long Yin came in, the young man asked straight to the point. He didn't believe in a blood-sucking beast running out of the mountains, and the first object of his suspicion was the mysterious fox in front of him.

He had already learned the news of Lord Xuanling's disappearance from the villagers, and he really regretted why he had rescued Long Yin in the first place, and from morning to now, he had been deeply blaming himself, feeling that it was because of his own reasons that Lord Xuanling no longer sheltered the village.

Looking at the young man's aggressive gaze, Long Yin obviously didn't expect the young man's intuition to be so accurate, and he guessed his head at once.

He nodded, there was nothing to hide about this matter anyway.

"Sure enough, it's you!" the boy waited until late at night, just to confirm his guess in person.

"Why are you forcing Master Xuanling back!" the young man's words were full of questioning tones.

This tone made Long Yin very unhappy, he shook his head, if it was someone else, he probably wouldn't have paid attention to it a long time ago. But the young man brought him back from the deep mountains, and absorbed so much yam essence to help him recover from his injuries, so it was reasonable, even if he was unhappy, he had to endure it.

"Lord Xuanling didn't leave because of you?" Seeing Long Yin shaking his head, the young man was stunned. Since the fox admitted that it was responsible for the dozens of fierce beasts, there was no reason not to admit it. Could it be that Lord Xuanling has long wanted to leave the village?

Long Yin shook his head again, he hadn't even seen Xuan Ling, how could he blame him. Isn't this a lying gun.

The young man was silent, and Long Yin saw that the young man did not speak, and absorbed all the essence of those yams on the table.

Just as Long Yin was about to leave, he saw the young man bring over a bunch of yams and put them in front of him, "Can I ask you for something?" the young man spoke.

Long Yin looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Can you become the Xuanling of our village?" the young man used an honorific title for Long Yin for the first time.

Long Yin looked at him suspiciously, could he have guessed wrong, Xuan Ling is not a person?

The young man didn't know what Long Yin was thinking, and continued to speak: "As long as you promise to become the guardian spirit of our village, I am willing to deliver all the yams I pick every day to you. ”

In order to convince Long Yin, the young man can be said to have made a bloody investment.

Long Yin looked at the young man's sincere expression and shook his head. Although he didn't know what this Xuan Ling was, but thinking of what those people said this morning, the Xuan Ling Lord in their mouths was obviously responsible for protecting their safety, in Long Yin's eyes, wasn't this just a security guard?

As for those yams, if Long Yin wasn't seriously injured at this time, he wouldn't have taken a look. These yams may be all he has in the eyes of the young man, but they are worthless in the eyes of Long Yin. Just these things made him sign a contract of sale, and he was not stupid.

When his injuries improve, he will also seek revenge from those people in Haotian's hometown. And then to find a way home, how could it be possible to stay here all the time.
