Suburbs, thatched huts.

Outside the house, the wind was whistling with snowflakes.

"Who are you?"

Du Xuan raised his head and looked bravely at an old man standing by the window.

Why do you say brave, because the old man is so ugly, that face, the whole scene of a car accident.

His nose was collapsed, as if he didn't know that there was a nose called the bridge of the nose, making his whole face like a flat rag. There was an extra flesh mole on his forehead out of thin air, the size of a tail finger, and a few white hairs popped out of the flesh mole, and he was very disobedient and crooked.

In short, it's an ugly face that makes people feel hairy.

"I'm a secret. ”

The ugly-faced old man stared out the window at the snowstorm for a while, and then turned around, not at all surprised by the mature tone of the baby in front of him.

"Why save us?"

"Secrets, at least until the little boy has enough strength to protect himself, you can't know too much. ”

"Who wants to kill me, why do you want to kill me?"

"Because Childe is an accident, but also a hope. ”

"Whose hope? I'm just a kid. ”

"Don't say. ”

“...... Say what you can say, for example, how did you find the villa, and did the four people you killed have anything to do with some noble person in the palace?"

"No, a proud swordsman like Ximen Feixue would not make a move for the nobles in the palace. ”

"Who is Simon Feixue, is it amazing?"

"Ximen Feixue died in Qingfeng Gorge, and the real surprise was not his death, but that the person who killed him was not someone that the old man could think of. There are only five fingers in the world that can kill Simon Feixue, and the person who killed him is not among them, and the person who killed him is also dead. The four swordsmen who appeared in Tianhui Mountain Villa, from the way they came out, the old man could guess that they had something to do with Ximen Feixue. ”

"Who does Simon Feixue represent?"

This is exactly what the old man is worried about. It will take some time for the old man to find out the various causes...... Well, nice two little guys, the old man has a rough idea of your escape path from Qingfeng Gorge. The old man glanced at Yu'er lying on the improvised wooden plank.

After being hit in the carriage, Yu'er still hasn't woken up.

"You've been to a cave?"

"I believe that the old man is not the only one who discovered the cave. ”

"Who the hell is going to kill me?"

"This is the second time that the little boy has asked...... What does it make if you don't know it? Thinking about revenge? Don't even think about this kind of stupid thing. Don't be in a hurry to save the whole world, or the whole world will not save you in the end. ”

"Save the world? Don't, I don't have that big ideals, I can live to achieve it. Then, can you save Yu'er?"

"This girl's name is Yu'er, and the old man's mission is not to save her. ”

The old man replied simply and directly.

"Is it your mission to protect me, and what will happen to you if I kill myself?"

Du Xuan was silent for a while, staring at the old man.

"Do you want to blackmail the old man? The little boy is willing to kill himself? Didn't you just say that you want to live well?" The old man's cloudy eyes flashed with a bright color, and the white hair on the flesh mole trembled, staring at Du Xuan with interest, but he deliberately said with a straight face, "The little boy has to give me a reason to save her." ”

"She saved me, and if it were me now, she would do the same. Du Xuan said seriously.

"Interesting. The old man laughed, waved his hand, and said, "The old man has checked it, this little girl is fine, and she will wake up soon." Wait, don't get out of this hut. ”

The old man pushed open the wooden door and disappeared into the snowstorm outside.

......

At night, the wind and snow continue unabated.

A bonfire was lit in the middle of the hut, and a game that Du Xuan couldn't recognize was on the bonfire, bubbling with grease. Occasionally, grease drips onto the flames, and the fire instantly becomes a little more intense.

Yu'er woke up, put one hand around Du Xuan, and sat side by side around the bonfire.

The old man flipped the game on the grill, looking attentive and quiet.

The aroma of meat is overflowing.

"How about some salt?" Du Xuan swallowed unproductively.

The old man gave him a blank look, which means that this wilderness and mountains are full of snow, so I think too much.

Du Xuan smiled, ignored it, and pushed his elbow against Yu'er.

Yu'er understood, took out a cloth bag from her arms, carefully took out a small bag wrapped in leaves, and handed it to the old man.

The old man glanced at the two little monsters suspiciously, rubbed a small black thing, licked the tip of his tongue, and the wrinkles on his face and forehead suddenly stretched a lot.

This black thing is naturally the salt that the two of them refined from walnut tree roots in the valley, and it looks really ugly, and it looks like salt should be.

The old man lightly crushed the salt cubes, carefully sprinkled them on the game, and carefully flipped them.

The wind and snow kept coming in through the cracks in the fence wall, but fortunately, the roaring bonfire effectively resisted the cold, and the atmosphere in the thatched hut was warm and welcoming, and the old man's ugly face didn't look so unbearable.

The old man tore off the tender meat under the burnt meat skin and gave it to Du Xuan and Yu'er, while he ate the old wine in the gourd.

"There's movement!"

While eating, Du Xuan said suddenly.

"The little boy is really extraordinary. The old man nodded approvingly, although he had already felt the danger before Du Xuan, but considering that the other party was only a few months old baby, he was also very surprised.

"A four-legged animal, probably ......" Du Xuan concentrated his senses and paused for a moment to say, "...... There are eleven of them. ”

"It's a wolf. The old man nodded and said slowly, "The danger does not only come from the wolves, there are other masters lurking behind the wolves, using the wind and snow and the wolves to cover their breath...... Sure enough, someone chased here. ”

The old man got up, made a quiet gesture, and slid his thin body out of the window like a civet.

Du Xuan poked the induction out, and the old man was already lurking on the roof.

The wolves came from behind, and after being ten feet away from the hut, they stopped. After a while, the eleven wolf soldiers divided into three groups, three stayed behind, and the other eight divided into two groups, scattered left and right.

The cattle business is outflanking in a roundabout way, and the three wolves stay where they are in order to paralyze their opponents!

Du Xuan was horrified, he had seen a lot of documentaries in his previous life, and knew some tricks of wolves to round up their prey.

Du Xuan probed his divine consciousness to an extremely distant distance, and this time he really caught an extremely slight movement, and the breath from human beings was mixed in the wind and snow. If these breaths are there or not, they can't judge the direction, presumably the hidden master is trying his best to suppress the breath.

"There were four of them, divided into three groups, far behind the wolf. I don't know what means the old man used, Du Xuan heard the old man's reminder, as if the old man was talking in his ear.

The old man then slid off the roof and quickly lost his breath, and the old man's hidden methods were obviously better than his opponent's!

Whew!

Three feet to the left of the thatched hut, a wolf howl suddenly sounded.

Du Xuan's consciousness followed, and then he heard four plopping sounds, and the four wild wolves on the left side of the detour were killed instantly!

"Someone!"

Du Xuan suddenly blurted out subconsciously.

At the moment when the wolf fell to the ground, he caught the previous breath, and a thick killing machine attacked from the rear to the position where the wolves had just fallen.

Apparently, a killer was taking the opportunity to pounce on the old man.

Poof!

Thump!

As soon as Du Xuan's words fell, he heard two muffled sounds, and someone was attacked and fell to the ground.

Who died?

"Grandpa?" Du Xuan's heart tightened, and he didn't care if the other party could hear it, so he whispered carefully.

There was no response.

"Childe?" Yu'er didn't know the sinister outside, and when she saw Du Xuan's abnormal expression, she opened her mouth to call Du Xuan.

"Little boy, is you finally willing to call the old man grandpa? Grandpa didn't die so easily. Du Xuan was about to respond to Yu'er, but received a reply from the one-armed old man.

"Grandpa can hear me?" Du Xuan was overjoyed.

"Stay still and protect the little girl. The old man left a word, and his breath was instantly hidden in the wind and snow.

"Protect the little girl, thanks to the old man, I'm only five months old. Du Xuan thought secretly.

The danger remains.

The remaining three killers and seven wild wolves should be looking for an opportunity to attack.

At this time, the three wolves in the front were still in place, and the four wild wolves in the right rear who were about to outflank were only two feet away from the grass hut, and the sound of breathing became clearer and clearer.

And Du Xuan knew that the real crisis was not the wild wolf, but the killer who lurked behind the wolf pack and waited for the opportunity.
