Chapter Eighty-Five: Shut Out
The two children were as excited as if they had discovered a new continent.
However, because of Su Xiaoxian and Jiang Xiaonian, the group was not so boring along the way, and the atmosphere was still a lot more lively.
may have been too excited at first, so that Su Xiaoxian had been sleeping groggily for the second half of the day.
"Don Jr., how long do we have to get there?" Su Huanian was also a little tired, and glanced at Lin Xiaotang.
Lin Xiaotang calculated the homework he had done in advance here, and said, "Master, it will be less than half an hour away, if you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while."
Saying that, Yu Wenyi took the initiative to lean his shoulders over, wanting to let Su Huanian rest like that.
But Su Huanian pretended not to see it, and kept pretending to sleep and did not respond.
……
"Emperor Zun, I have already ordered someone to investigate, but that village is very strange, and the specific situation still needs to be visited by Emperor Zun himself." Xu Xuanlang said with a solemn face.
The matter of the barren mountain village was so spread that Xu Xuanlang had no choice but to ignore it.
Mu Bai nodded and said: "The deity is suspicious, I'm afraid it can't be separated from the Ghost Venerable faction, this time, you can go and have a look with the deity in casual clothes."
He wanted to see who it was, pretending to be a ghost there!
Xu Xuanlang nodded, since the Murong family completely fell into the Demon Dao, the Lanchuan Continent was no longer as peaceful as before.
It seems that this trip to the barren mountain village is a must-go.
……
By the time Su Huanian and his party arrived at the barren mountain village, the sun had already set, but in comparison, the sky was still quite bright.
"Master, be careful, this is the time for every family to eat, but not only is there no figure, not even the chimney is smoking." Lin Xiaotang nervously observed the movements around him.
Su Huashou looked at this village at a glance, and felt very strange, coupled with Lin Xiaotang's words just now, and the previous legend, it seems that this place really needs to be careful.
Walking all the way into the village, there was no one to see, there was no way, Su Huanian had to knock on the door, they couldn't sleep on the streets tonight.
"Hello! Excuse me, anyone? Excuse me, anyone? Su Huanian knocked politely on the door.
I knocked on the door and knocked on two of them, but there was no response.
Just when Su Huanian lost patience and wanted to break in, there was finally a family that opened the door for them.
The door was opened by a gray-haired old woman, with a trembling face, but cautiously poked out a small head and asked, "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”
"Hello, old man, we are passing by here, you see that it is getting late, can you take us in here for one night......" Su Huanian said politely while observing the old woman.
"You're outsiders? Girl, I advise you, it's better to get out of here quickly, I don't have a place for you to rest, you can go! Don't knock! ”
Smack-
The old woman no longer gave them a chance to speak, and simply closed the door.
"Hey, why don't you have any sympathy for this old man, it......'s so late," Lin Xiaotang said a little angrily.
As he spoke, Lin Xiaotang wanted to knock on the door again.
"Forget it, let's switch to another one." Su Huanian sighed and shook his head.
If they're unlucky, they might really have to live outside like this today, and depending on the situation, outsiders like them shouldn't be welcome here!
After being ruthlessly rejected several times in a row, Yu Wenyi said: "Why don't we go to the village in front of us to have a look, if we don't leave, it will really be dark in a while."
Su Huanian looked at Su Xiaoxian and Jiang Xiaonian, and thought, they adults can do anything, but now they still have two children with them.
As soon as he wanted to nod, the door in front of him opened.
Also sticking out a small head, it was a dark teenager, looking at it, he was about ten years old.
"You are ......" While looking at Su Huanian, there was a sense of fear and vigilance.
"Is there still a place in your house? It's getting late, we need a place to rest for a while, you can rest assured, we won't stay in vain. Su Huanian had a gentle smile on his face.
The young man's face was very embarrassed, but instead of closing the door directly like the old woman, he slowly opened the door and said, "Then you can come in."
The courtyard is very messy, there is a stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and it is covered with very thick dust, Su Huanian looked at this courtyard, and had a feeling that he had not lived here for a long time.
The strangest thing is that they came all the way in, but they didn't find anyone else, only this one child.
"Drink water." The boy poured a glass of water for each of them.
Su Huanian took a closer look at this young man, not only was he very dark, but he was also very thin.
The ten-year-old child doesn't look as chubby as Su Xiaoxian, and with his tall stature, he looks even weaker.
"What's your name, are you the only one living here?" Su Huanian still asked very carefully, and at the same time looked at the young man, not letting go of any expression on his face.
The young man seemed to have been poked in the heart, and the expression on his face was very painful, but he still replied to Su Huanian: "My name is Huzi, the people in the village call me that, my mother disappeared a month ago, I don't know where I went, the people in the village said that I was captured by the monsters in the river, and then my father went out to look for my mother, and I never came back......"
"Do you know where your father went?" Su Huanian looked at the young man's appearance of holding back tears, and felt distressed for no reason.
Huzi shook his head and said, "I don't know, my father didn't tell me, just let me wait at home, I believe that my father will definitely come back with my mother."
As soon as Su Huanian wanted to comfort him, he heard Huzi say again: "This sister, you are so beautiful, but the people in the village say that there are monsters in the village, and they specialize in catching beautiful women like my sister, so my sister should leave here quickly."
"It's okay, sister is not afraid, sister is going to see here if there are really ghosts, or if there are people who are pretending to be ghosts there!" After Su Huanian finished speaking, there was firmness in his eyes.
It seems that this village is even more interesting than I thought before.
"Boy, do you have anything to eat here?" Lin Xiaotang turned around and couldn't help asking.
They had been walking for almost a day, and they were already a little hungry.
Huzi looked embarrassed, scratched his little brain in embarrassment, and said, "There is ...... Merely...... It doesn't seem like there are enough people to eat......"
Later, I heard what he meant, since his parents disappeared, all the food he ate relied on the villagers, the east family, and the west family.
Sometimes people forget that he would go hungry for days.
It's normal for them to have so many people coming here at once, and not so much food.
