The sky gradually brightened, and the morning glow filled the sky. Su Su felt that although she was not fast, she didn't feel tired at all after walking for so long, and the Space Spirit Lake had indeed improved her physique, and it seemed that she would bubble more when she was free in the future. She glanced at a certain Ah Piao who was silently following her, and was secretly refreshed in her heart, well, her decision was good. Leaving the cold wind behind, not only can you be a bodyguard, but also a laborer if necessary. In addition to not being able to drive away, she said that he really didn't go west, let him not speak, he could really keep his mouth shut.

Soon after they walked further, a large dense forest appeared in front of them, and as far as the eye could see, they could only pass through the forest. After entering the forest, Su Su was playful, chasing colorful butterflies for a while, scaring passing animals for a while, and the cold wind silently followed behind. The morning mist has not yet dissipated, and the forest scenery is like a dream. Su Su followed his instincts and walked forward, and after passing through a small field of wild vines, a tree-lined path appeared in front of him.

The trail can only accommodate two people in parallel, and there seems to be a large lake in the distance. The water is like a morning glow, and Lin is suspicious of the colorful phoenix. Su Su and his entourage approached and saw so many delicate scenes. Behind the lake, I faintly saw scattered houses, and the sound of children playing in my ears could be heard.

Su Su walked to the lake, only to see that the lake was still and there were no waves, and a breeze blew, and a circle of ripples rippled on the sparkling surface of the lake. She picked up the pebbles from the ground and threw them into the lake, the reeds on the shore startling a few kingfishers.

Others get the space spiritual spring, it's like using a fork to show off, how can they get this space, or a pouty face and bucket waist? Su Su looked at the lake with a puzzled face, touched her face, it felt soft and elastic, her skin was smooth and delicate, and she looked like a girl. These are good, but when they become big beauties will be better. She pinched the fat on her stomach again, and gave up this idea, as a foodie, she probably can't be hooked with My Fair Lady in this life.

"Oops, which bastard stoned me." Su Su was looking at the shadow and felt a pain in his head, as if he had been hit by something, and then a small pebble fell, and the bone rolled to the side. Su Su glared angrily at the cold wind not far away, and said in his heart.

The cold wind indicated that it was not him, and raised his hand to swing at the reeds next to him. There was a mischievous little boy hiding there, and he ignored it when he was in no danger. Who knew that if he was not careful, the child threw stones at Su Su to play. Without waiting for Su Su's command, the cold wind grabbed the little boy out.

"Let go of me, bad guy, let go of me quickly." The little boy was caught by the cold wind, hanging in the air and struggling and cursing. Su Su saw that he was just a little kid of five or six years old, so he beckoned the cold wind to let him down. As soon as the boy's feet hit the ground, he ran towards the village behind the lake, and before he could take a few steps, he tripped over a stone on the ground. Su Su hurriedly walked over to help him up and patted off the dirt on his clothes for him.

"Does it hurt? We're not bad guys. My name is Susu, what's your name? Su Su slowed down her speech and spoke softly, this was the most gentle and friendly appearance she could show, I don't know if it had any effect. The boy's home should be in a nearby village, and she needs to find a doctor to save Ling Huxuan.

The little boy pouted and burst into tears, pushed Su Su away, and continued to walk forward.

"Do you think this bird is pretty?" The cold wind caught a bird with blue-green feathers and spread out his hands in front of the little boy.

"Mmmm, it's so beautiful, big brother, can you give it to me?" The little boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at the cold wind with pleading eyes. I just thought that this big brother was so powerful, although it looked foggy, but he was very good at catching birds. The cold wind carried him in mid-air, and he didn't remember the villain, forget it.

After Leng Hanfeng asked him, he learned that his name was Xiao Ming, and he was from the nearby Danyang Village. Just now he wanted to go to the lake to catch kingfishers, but he was frightened away by the chubby sister, so he got angry and hit her with a stone. When Su Su learned that this was the case, his expression was stunned, and his face was colorful, red and white and white.

Xiao Ming invited them to play at home, he wanted Brother Leng to tell him how to catch the bird just now, but as soon as he grabbed the bird with his hand, the bird fell into Brother Leng's hands unscathed, and he didn't run away without a rope, it was too powerful. Xiao Ming's invitation was in Su Su's arms, she nodded, and the cold wind had no objection, so they went to the village together.

As we walked, the trees thinned out and smoke rose over the nearby village. When I walked to the entrance of the village, a cold air followed. Su Su felt a little uncomfortable, and gathered his clothes, but he was very comfortable in the cold wind. A few steps further, the cold air was fleeting, as if it was her illusion.

Xiao Ming's family is in the third house at the end of the village, and when they arrived, Xiao Ming's mother, Aunt Niu, was cooking breakfast. Seeing that Xiao Ming brought a few strangers, she was very surprised and asked Xiao Ming, and Xiao Ming told his mother the reason.

Xiao Ming's father is a hunter in the village, the eldest in the family, the villagers call him Niu Da, usually hunting for a living, this will be in the backyard to prepare hunting tools. He heard the conversation in the house, washed his hands and walked into the house.

After Niu Da and Su Su and his party greeted each other, they asked and went back to the backyard, and when they came out again, they carried hunting tools on their shoulders. On the wooden table in the hall were freshly steamed steamed buns, and the cow put a few in a cloth bag around his waist and walked out.

"Eat while it's hot, we're just farmers in the mountains, that's all we can eat." After Aunt Niu finished her work in the kitchen, she walked to the table with a few bowls of porridge and pickles.

"Aunt Niu, you're too polite, we're not hungry." Su Su looked at the gruel like a clear soup and little water, and then looked at the steamed buns that were as hard as stones, without a little appetite.

"Eat a little bit, or you'll be hungry when you get on the road, and it's still far from the next town." Aunt Niu said gently.

The average farmer is very hospitable, but the villagers here don't seem to want anyone to come. Su Su muttered in her heart. It doesn't matter if you don't stay overnight, the key is to find a doctor to treat Ling Huxuan's injuries.

"Uh, Aunt Niu, you're welcome, we ate on the way here, not long, hehe. Well, my friend was seriously injured, and I just wanted to come to the village to find a doctor. After Su Su finished speaking to Aunt Niu, he turned his head to look at Ling Huxuan. He was still unconscious, and his face was as pale as paper. It's better to find the doctor first and then say, I can go to the Taibai space to eat casually, the cold wind over there is sitting with his eyes closed, and he doesn't seem to need to eat.

Aunt Niu thought about it, beckoned Xiao Ming, and asked him to call Xu Langzhong in the village to take a look, and Xiao Ming left in response.

After a while, Xiao Ming came back in a hurry, followed by a white-bearded old man, about sixty or seventy years old, wearing a white-washed medical robe, with a red face and a sassy spirit.

"Mother, Xu Langzhong is here." Xiao Ming said happily with big eyes, his black grape-like eyes flashing with a sparkling light. On weekdays, my father went hunting in the forest, and he was the only one at home with his mother, and he always felt very happy to be able to help his mother.

"Hey, hey! I...... I'm an old ...... Old bones, all ...... It's going to fall apart. Xu Langzhong gasped and said, Xiao Ming, the little rabbit cub, pulled him all the way and ran wildly, pitying him for his old bones.

"Xiao Ming, don't be so naughty in the future." Aunt Niu glared back at Xiao Ming, and said angrily. Xiao Ming stuck out his tongue, picked up the porridge on the table and drank it.

"Xu Langzhong, this girl's friend is injured, you can take a look." Aunt Niu got up to introduce Su Su and his party, and then pointed out Ling Huxuan to Xu Langzhong.

"yes, he's badly injured, take a look." Su Su felt that this old man was very bullish, and the so-called mountains and fields were so high.

Xu Langzhong stroked his beard and stretched out his hand to check Ling Huxuan's pulse. Sure enough, after about a tea time, he picked up a brush and wrote the prescription on the paper.

"This little brother's injury is indeed very serious, but it can be cured, but it is difficult to find the few medicinal herbs needed. At least we don't have one in Danyang Village, you can go to other towns and look for it. Xu Langzhong sighed to Su Su, and then turned to Aunt Niu, "They are strangers, let's advise them to leave early before dark." ”

Su Su felt that his head was big, what happened to the outsiders, the people here don't want to see the outsiders. Just go, it's not uncommon for her to stay here. Su Su looked down at the prescription sullenly, and she was happy after reading it. These medicinal herbs are too white to have space, and she will take out two more ginseng trees later, Xu Langzhong's consultation fee is it, and the other one will improve Aunt Niu's life.

"What a coincidence, we all have the medicine in the prescription, but the wealth is not exposed, those medicinal materials are more precious and rare, I hid them in the woods outside the village." Su Su said very calmly.

Leng Hanfeng felt strange, as if they didn't have medicinal materials, and before he could figure out why, he was called out by Su Su to get the medicine together.

There is no way to do this, Su Su thought about it, and could only find this reason. Otherwise, with so many eyes staring, it's not fun to change into a living person, and she is very embarrassed to think that she is so impatient.

After a while, Su Su and Leng Hanfeng returned to the hall with a bunch of medicinal herbs, took out the prepared ginseng and handed it to Xu Langzhong.

"This ginseng is too valuable, look at this year, it's a thousand years, it's almost fine. If you put it in the city, you can exchange it for a city. Xu Langzhong was amazed, and after some shirk, he gladly accepted it, and left with the medicine box on his back.

"Aunt Niu, this is for you, buy a few new sets of clothes for Xiao Ming, and add some necessities to the family." Su Su looked at Xiao Ming's patched old clothes and stuffed the ginseng into Aunt Niu's hand, Aunt Niu refused to ask for it, Su Su secretly handed the ginseng to Xiao Ming and told him to give it to his mother after she left.

"Aunt Niu, why did we leave before dark?" Su Su was puzzled, so she asked Aunt Niu.

"This has to start a long time ago, originally our Danyang Village has a large population, has been living in this mountain forest, Danyang Forest Road is also together with Wadang Town and Baihua Valley must pass, in the past there are many chivalrous people from here to borrow the road, most of the villagers open wine stalls and tea sheds for a living, Danyang Village is also very rich. Until one day, a crocodile spirit came to the lake near the village, and it often went to the forest road to harass passers-by, and sometimes hurt people. The village chief had no choice but to negotiate with it one day, and he proposed to ask the villagers to sacrifice every once in a while. Aunt Niu remembered the past and couldn't help sighing, and many villagers were sacrificed because of it.

"Aunt Niu, does that mean that most of the villagers have been eaten by crocodile essence?" Su Su showed a frightened expression, this crocodile essence is too scary, it has a really good appetite.

"The people who were eaten by the crocodile spirit were in the minority, and most of the villagers who had relatives in other towns moved away." Aunt Niu said with emotion, I don't know when Danyang Village will disappear completely.

"Then why don't you leave?" Su Su felt very curious, that crocodile spirit wanted the villagers to sacrifice regularly, wouldn't it be a dead end to stay here.

"It's not that we won't go, Xiao Ming's father is a native of Orion here, and he has an elderly father, and Uncle Niu Er was still there at that time, and his life was okay." Aunt Niu lowered her eyes and fell into memory.

She told Su Su that the good times didn't last long, and one day, Niu Da and Niu Er went out hunting, and when they came back, only Niu Da was covered in blood. After learning that Niu's father couldn't afford to fall ill, they took out all their savings and looked for medical advice everywhere, but Niu's father still didn't get any better, and finally went a year ago.

As a result, they were in debt and living in poverty, so they could only stay with the villagers who were also poor.

After listening to it, Su Su realized that he had no money to move. Thinking of Aunt Niu's refusal of the ginseng she gave just now, Su Su felt that these villagers were too simple, and if she was poor like this, she would immediately accept it happily. Anyway, she needs logistics to explore the rivers and lakes in the future, and if Aunt Niu's family is willing to go together, it will be good.

"Aunt Niu, can you borrow me for your kitchen? I'm going to decoct that guy. Su Su took out the prepared medicinal herbs and put them on the table.

"Well, the pot for decocting the medicine hasn't been used for a long time, I'll go wash it for you." Aunt Niu took Su Su and walked towards the kitchen.

Su Su came to the kitchen and was dumbfounded, how could she forget that the stove was used in ancient times, not to mention the stove, in modern times she rarely even uses the gas stove, basically going out to eat fast food box lunches more. After she tried a few times and didn't light the fire, she still appointed Aunt Niu to help again. With the help of Aunt Niu, Su Su finally succeeded in decocting the first bowl of Chinese medicine in her life, and she just didn't have tears in her eyes. Su Su was startled when he turned around, and the cold wind Ah Piao was behind him, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there.

"Hey, I said cold wind, if you're so scary, get out of here! My sister finally boiled out a bowl of medicine, and I was almost scared by you. Su Su was furious, felt his teeth itching, and really wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

"Susu, you haven't given me any medicine." The cold wind looked at Su Su with great resentment, but he didn't bite a handkerchief to make a resentful woman.

Su Su really didn't bother to pay attention to him, a big man, oh, it's a male ghost, put on an expression of an abandoned little woman, what do you want to make trouble? She walked back to the hall with the medicine, and after the medicine cooled down a little, she fed it to Ling Huxuan one bite at a time, and on the way, the cold wind wanted to take the bowl to feed her, but Su Su threw it over with an eye knife, and hid in the corner of the wall in a circle.

By the time Su Su finished feeding Ling Huxuan a bowl of medicine, it was already noon. Su Su estimated that Ling Huxuan would not wake up for a while, so he wanted to go to the village to wander around twice. The cold wind was very happy, and Su Su surrounded Ling Huxuan all morning, and he was angry and didn't dare to say it.

Aunt Niu thought that the injured person hadn't woken up yet, and Su Su was bored in the house, so she nodded and took care of Ling Huxuan, and told Su Su not to run too far, there were wild beasts in the forest.

So one person and one ghost began to tour the deserted village, saying that it was a tour, the whole village was not big, and the few remaining families were only old and weak at home, and the strong laborers went to hunt.

"What are you going to do? Don't arrest my son, he's still young, if you want to arrest me. Aunt Niu's voice came from not far away, occasionally mixed with Xiao Ming's cry.

Su Su hurriedly gave Leng Hanfeng a look, and motioned for him to go over and take a look first, Ah Piao's speed was unparalleled. As soon as the cold wind flashed, he came to the source of the sound, and Su Su also ran over quickly.

From a distance, at the door of Xiao Ming's house, two middle-aged men were pulling Xiao Ming, and then the cold wind reached out to the two of them, and the two men were carried into the air by invisible hands, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah, youkai!" The two men were thrown into seven meat and eight vegetarian pieces, and their eyes were full of gold stars. The two shouted as they ran towards the village. One of the balding men cursed that they would not die well.

"The balding man just now is the village chief, and the one next to him is his son. Tonight is the day of sacrifice again, the crocodile spirit likes the villagers to sacrifice children, there are not many children in the village, they are going to take Xiao Ming as a sacrifice this time. Aunt Niu didn't wait for Su Su to ask questions and told the cause of the incident.

"Now that we have seen this, we will not stand idly by. Aunt Niu, Xiao Ming, you don't have to worry, I, Su Su, won't let you have anything to do. Su Su swore that not to mention the crocodile essence, those two people were not a piece of cake for her follower Ah Piao. Later, I will ask the cold wind if I can put down the greedy little crocodile, and if so, I will destroy it together.

Aunt Niu saw the super ability of the cold wind, let go of the burden in her heart, and only said that when Niu came back from hunting, she would discuss how to eliminate the crocodile essence together. Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Niu Da stepped on the twilight earth and walked to the door, and as soon as he entered the house, Aunt Niu told him what had happened before, and explained that she wanted to destroy the crocodile spirit.

Niu Da pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then Mr. and Mrs. Niu talked about the whole process of the previous sacrifice, and everyone carefully discussed the countermeasures and waited for the night to come.
