39. Oishi Village
Before Shao Yuan could say anything, Zhang Qiang's father continued: "Ah Yuan, I know, the people of your army usually don't have any spare time to come back.
If there is, Zhang Qiang will come back together.
I know the style of your army, just come back alone, Zhang Qiang ......"
Zhang Qiang's father didn't continue, but this young man who was not confused was already red-eyed.
Shao Yuan didn't reply, since the other party already had a rough guess, and the news that the entire Pingyang Town was filled in would return sooner or later, there was no need to continue to make up lies to comfort him.
"You don't know, I still carried back your father who only had half a life left. Zhang Qiang's father raised his rough hand and wiped his eyes, "I also have to thank you warriors for guarding our home and our roots." ”
Listening to these words, Shao Yuan felt that his heartbeat became heavier and heavier, "Pingyang Town, I didn't hold it, I didn't have it." ”
"How come?" Zhang Qiang's father was stunned.
"After dealing with the demons, an evil cultivator came and drained almost everyone's souls. Shao Yuan tilted his head and let his eyes escape from the open door of the house.
"Hehe, hehe. After Zhang Qiang's father was silent for a long time, he let out a series of wry smiles: "Demons attack our human race, they can destroy the body of the human race, but they can't destroy the heart of the human race. Where do you think, but there are always people in our human race who want to destroy that heart. ”
Shao Yuan finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, "That, where are the other people in the village hiding, now you can call them back." ”
"Well, they're all hiding in the Prancing Horse stream behind the mountain. You don't have to worry about the rest of the people here, I can take care of it. Zhang Qiang's father nodded.
"Good. In response, Shao Yuan stepped out of the door.
The village is backed by a large mountain, and behind the mountain there is a long and narrow valley sandwiched by stone walls on both sides, called the Prancing Horse Stream.
Walking down the valley, there is a clear lake.
It's a great place to hide.
Urging the blood qi, Shao Yuan spent half a day to find the entrance of the Prancing Horse Stream, and there was a stream flowing out.
The entrance of the Prancing Horse Stream can only accommodate one person to enter sideways, and Shao Yuan is still moving fast.
The stone walls on both sides of the inner wall were more and more separated, and when the width was wide enough for one person to gallop, I saw that there were rocks blocking the intersection.
Shao Yuan smiled, jumped slightly, and came to the top of the Prancing Horse Stream, and was about to jump down, when a few cold lights greeted him.
They were the spears and bows used by the village hunters for hunting.
Although those weapons came unexpectedly, Shao Yuan still easily avoided them with ghost steps.
"Stop! Stop! It seems to be Shao Yuan's baby!"
At the same time, human voices were heard from under the Prancing Horse Stream.
Seeing that no more weapons were thrown, Shao Yuan entered the Prancing Horse Stream again.
The eye catches the eye on a lake surrounded by mountains, where hundreds of people from the village gather.
A lit bonfire illuminated the faces of the embarrassed men who were guarding the entrance.
The rest of the people by the lake, young and old, as long as they could stand up, held their kitchen knives, pots and pans and waited with bated breath.
After seeing Shao Yuan, he finally relaxed.
"Ah Yuan!" a familiar voice sounded.
Looking for prestige, officially Shao Yuan's mother Lin ran towards him with tears on her face.
Holding Shao Yuan's younger brother in his arms, Shao Wangning.
Shao Wangning didn't cry either, and after being hugged in front of Shao Yuan by his mother, he laughed, and the corners of his mouth cracked, revealing the small gums that were still bare inside.
"Mother, I'm back. Shao Yuan said to Lin with a smile.
Then he reached out and gently squeezed Shao Wangning's soft little hand, "Xiao Wangning, I'm your brother." ”
Shao Yuan's father also walked over and patted Shao Yuan on the shoulder.
Father and son looked at each other and smiled.
After looking around at the surrounding villagers, Shao Yuan told them that the bandits had been resolved.
"You can go back!"
As soon as Shao Yuan's words fell, some children in the village cheered.
It made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed.
Due to the narrow exit of the Prancing Horse Stream, plus the food and furniture that were brought out.
The people of Oishi Village were not able to return to the village until late at night.
Looking at the mess in the village, the villagers were not busy cleaning up.
On the contrary, they all held a few pillars of incense and went to the big stone at the entrance of the village to worship with their heads.
It is said that Oishi Village has not been affected by demons since its founding.
This time, only a few people were injured by the mountain bandits.
Looking at the pious appearance of the villagers, for some reason, Shao Yuan dispelled the idea of persuading them to move to Qinghe Town.
When I returned home, I cleaned the floor and made the bed, and Shao Yuan's mother hugged Shao Wangning and prepared to rest.
Only Shao Yuan's father and son were left in the courtyard.
Shao Yuan's father was holding a pipe and smoking it, he didn't touch tobacco before.
The two sat in silence for a long time, and Shao Yuan finally told his father about his experience and the situation in Pingyang Town.
Of course, he didn't say anything about the fact that most of his muscles and veins were broken because of the blood explosion.
Shao's father took another deep puff of his pipe and exhaled a long puff of smoke.
"I've been a soldier for thirteen years, and I've only fought demons five times, but I didn't expect that you have only been a demon for less than half a year, and there will be two demon attacks. Shao's father knocked his pipe on the ground, "Child, what are your plans next?" ”
"I'm going to go to Xuanmu City next. Shao Yuan's tone was firm.
"Hmm. Shao Yuan's father stuffed a small handful of tobacco into his pipe and lit it, "When will you go?" ”
Shao Yuan glanced at the sky: "Tomorrow morning." ”
"Well, I'll go back to your mother. ”
"Good. Shao Yuan replied lightly, and then said no more.
The two of them sat until dawn.
Shao Yuan got up, nodded to his father, and left the village.
When he walked to the entrance of the village, Shao Yuan glanced back at the big stone erected at the entrance of the village.
The anxious heart is inexplicably much more steady.
He seemed to sense the boulder telling him not to worry about the village being attacked by demons.
I can't say why he felt that way, but he believed it.
was able to travel to this world because Shao Yuan's head hit this stone.
Shao Yuan stopped and bowed to the big stone.
When he was far away, the big stone shimmered.
But the early sun had already risen, and it couldn't be seen with the naked eye alone.
Another day passed, and people from Qinghe Town came up from Dashi Village.
The first person who came was to tell the villagers that Dashi Village would belong to Qinghe Town in the future.
The second is to reissue pensions to the soldiers who participated in the First Battle of Pingyang Town.
When Zhang Qiang's father learned about it, he went home and closed the door.
The clerks in Qinghe Town had to put Zhang Qiang's bereavement pension at his doorstep.
The people in the village didn't have any crooked thoughts.
As for Shao Yuan's family, after learning that Shao Yuan was gone, Shao Yuan's mother had ignored his father all day.
blamed her husband for not stopping his son, and also complained that his son didn't inform him before leaving.
At the same time, Shao Yuan had already entered a deep mountain somewhere, getting closer and closer to the headquarters of the Sandman Gang.
