Taoyao Village is the last human village near Zhaoyao Mountain, it can also be said to be an isolated village, there are hundreds of peach trees planted in the village, the peach blossoms bloom in March and April every year, the scenery is very beautiful, Taoyao Village has a history of a hundred years, the people in the village are not very many, there are probably sixty or seventy households, the people in the valley take the peach as the surname, and most of the names are: peach blossoms, peach trees, peach pits, peach leaves, peach roots, peach skins and so on, after all, there are not many things around the peach, so there are often three or four peach blossoms in a generation, Five or six peach trees. Due to the proximity to the valley and the strict management of the demon clan in the valley, the two sides get along very well, and they often exchange things for things.

But today's village looks a little wrong, Aman and a few people stand at the entrance of the village, feeling that it is really quiet and strange, and there is no even the sound of chickens and dogs.

"I remember when we went out, wasn't it still very lively? Has the whole village moved away? ”

Li Muqing stretched his neck and looked around with his feet on his feet, as if he could see farther in this way

"There's smoke rising from the room in front, let's go in and ask."

Feng Chen pointed to the nearest room and said,

Although Aman didn't speak, she could feel a hint of uneasiness in the air, and the four of them walked to the courtyard with cooking smoke, but they still didn't find any trace of anyone, until a few coughs came from the house,

"Old man, old man..."

An old woman was sitting on a chaise longue with her eyes closed, and she didn't notice a few more uninvited guests in the house, and finally when she opened her eyes, she saw four strangers without the slightest panic.

"The neighbors of the demon clan are really not ordinary, and they are bold."

"I don't think the old lady has a good look in her eyes, so she sees us as family."

When Li Muqing and Shuoyue were whispering, the old grandmother suddenly stared at Aman and stood up excitedly,

"Little sister, are you back?"

was called a young lady by an old man with white hair, Aman was stunned, Li Muqing smiled and leaned back and forth, Shuoyue was also a little unable to hold back, only the Fengchen bandit was still plain as usual,

"Little sister, I'm Momoka, don't you remember? When I was twelve, fifty years ago, you saved me from a weasel. "The old grandmother remembers the appearance of her life-saving benefactor very clearly, the main Aman has not changed for decades, she never thought that she would be able to see Aman again, of course she also knew that Aman was from the valley, otherwise how could she beat the weasel demon to the ground at that time.

"Fifty years ago, I guess it was the last time I ran out of the valley."

However, it is really difficult for Aman to have an impression of this old grandmother, after all, she has changed too much.

"I didn't expect to see you again before I died, young lady, it's so good."

The old grandmother held Aman's hand, and the old tears were all over the place,

"That Momoxiang, don't call me little sister, why don't you just call me Aman."

"Hehehe, you see I'm a little old and confused, I'm not twelve years old anymore, and you're still the same person you used to be."

"Old man, are you alone at home?"

Hearing others talking, the grandmother looked at the other three, and when she saw the Fengchen bandits, she was a little shy.

"Aman, is this good-looking little boy your man?"

Aman immediately felt that how could Momoka say that she was old and confused, she was obviously smart and discerning.

Li Muqing now seriously suspects that this old lady is the person arranged by Aman, "Old man, you are wrong, our good-looking little boy has just reached the age of weak crown this year, and he is really out of reach of your young lady." ”

Aman's fist squeaked, and the Fengchen bandit stepped forward and held Aman's small fist in his hand, and patted it as if soothing, "Old man, what happened in the village?" ”

"Today is a big event, I heard that the hundred-year-old peach tree has become a fine tree, and it killed a family of three in the village, and the big guy decided to burn it, and I am really too lazy to move this old bone."

"Momoka, has anyone seen the Peach Tree Demon kill?"

"That's not true, it's just that when the peach pit was found, the corpse was under the peach tree, and the blood was flowing all over the ground, and everyone said that the peach tree demon drank human blood."

"Where is the body now?"

"Oh, it's still in Peach Skin's house, and I'm going to be buried tomorrow."

"Bandit, you stay here, I'll take a look."

"I'll go with you."

Feng Chen's bandit took Aman's hand and didn't let go, his insistence made Aman helpless, Aman didn't want him to feel that she saw him as a burden.

"You two go and see the corpse, Shuoyue and I will stay and accompany the old man to dinner."

Li Muqing suddenly smelled the smell of rice coming from the kitchen.

I don't know if it's because the family is dead, I always feel that the wind is gusting in the peach skin house, and Aman doesn't like this kind of house with a coffin the most.

"The first year of junior high school." With the order of the Fengchen bandits, the first day of the first year fell from the sky, and a palm wind swept over, and the three coffin boards fell to the ground.

After years of observation, she found that this secret guard was much better than the little demon under her, the key is to talk less and have the ability, "Ah Bandit, do you have any second or third junior high school there, give me one?" ”

Chu Yi, who flew into the air, heard this, and suddenly shook his body,

"There is no second and third junior high school, but if you like it, the first junior high school can give it to you."

The words of his own master made the first year of junior high fall completely.

The two walked to the coffin and looked at the corpse carefully, Aman did not smell the breath of the demon on them, and the Fengchen bandits also found that they had multiple knife wounds on their bodies, but the fatal wound was on the neck, and the knife edge was uneven, so the flawed killing method was more like an impulsive revenge.

Ah Man and Feng Chen bandits secretly came to the peach grove at the end of the village again, and sure enough, they saw a large group of black people surrounding there, the old peach tree looked pitiful inexplicably, the bare branches of winter swayed with the cold wind, especially like it was shivering in fear.

"Bandit, the uneasiness I felt at the entrance of the village just now seems to be even stronger here, it seems that this peach tree does have divine sense, but its grievances and fears are also real."

"Why don't we get closer and hear what they're talking about?"

The two groped to the back of the crowd, and sure enough, they saw that they had piled up dry firewood around the roots of the peach tree, and seemed to be waiting for the village chief Taogen to give an order.

Village Chief Taogen: "Recently, something terrible happened in our Taoyao Village, Taopi's family of three died tragically under this old peach tree, in order to calm everyone's hearts, burning it is the best way." ”

"Burn it, burn the Peach Tree Demon."

The villagers seem to have decided that it was a demon.

"Wait a minute." Aman can't let a demon suffer such grievances,

"Who are you?" The angry villagers did not have a good impression of outsiders at this time, and the axes, kitchen knives, and spatulas in their hands were aimed at them.

Feng Chen bandit grabbed Aman again, "We are from Jingzhou, and we are from Nanshan Yi Wangfu. ”

"King Yi?" The village chief walked over very excitedly, "Are you really King Yi's people?" ”

Feng Chen bandit took out the token in his arms, and the Yi character on it made the village chief a little red-eyed,

"I didn't expect that thirteen years later, I would still be able to see King Yi's people again, if it weren't for King Yi, our village would have been destroyed by barbarians."

Some of the elderly people in the villagers still remember the events of that year, and they are all sighing,

Aman didn't expect that one day, he would be able to rely on the big tree of King Shangyi,

"Is King Yi okay? I remember when he was very badly injured? ”

"He's fine."

Thirteen years ago? Aman calculated that the time should be the time when King Yi was poisoned, no wonder the imperial doctors of Nanshan were helpless, the poison refined by the Southern Barbarians was strange and vicious, although it was nameless, but it was famous all over the world.

"That's good, by the way, what's the matter with you two here?"

"Since the village chief is the old time of our prince, I have something to say bluntly, the death of the Taopi family is not the work of the demon."

"How do you know? You've just arrived, what do you know? ”

A stunned boy suddenly jumped out, looking at the Fengchen bandit with resentment in his eyes, Aman stared at this kid, thinking that the rat's tail would be revealed so soon.

"Peach pit, shut up."

Under the coercion of the village chief, the stunned boy called the peach pit didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore,

"Why did Childe say that?"

"It's urgent, before we came here just now, we had already checked the corpses of the Taopi family under the guidance of Grandma Momoxiang, I know that everyone in the village is simple and kind, and I haven't seen many people who were killed, and that family was obviously hacked to death by a knife."

Feng Chen's words shocked the villagers and discussed a lot,

"You still want to run?"

At this moment, Aman grabbed the peach pit that wanted to sneak away, his legs were weak, and he collapsed all of a sudden, and his mouth was still shouting, "I didn't mean to, it's all to blame on Peach Skin, he obviously promised to marry Peach Blossom to me, and then he disliked me and had to withdraw from the marriage, I didn't mean to kill them, I was just too angry." ”

The village chief slapped the peach pit in the face, and the strength was so great that the peach pit and a young man rolled to the ground.

"Come on, take him down first, lock him up, and deal with it tomorrow according to the village rules."

The village chief invited the two of them to the village for a banquet, saying that King Yi's army was in a hurry and did not give them a chance to repay them, and today he helped them solve the murder incident, and he must thank them well.

After the villagers dispersed, Aman looked at the Fengchen bandit with a smile, "How did the bandit know that the people in the village had received the favor of your father?" ”

"The stone wall at the entrance of the village is engraved with the military flag of the father's army, and I heard the old housekeeper say that some towns or villages that the father led the army to rescue will regard the totem of the god of war on the military flag as a talisman."

"Oh, I see, the bandit is so smart."

Fengchen bandits sometimes feel that it is a good thing to be adored and liked by a person with full eyes, but the first year of junior high school thinks that his master has made this little girl "spoiled" so much.

"Thank you."

The sound from nowhere made Chu Yi tremble, how could anyone within a radius of fifty meters avoid his eyes, he had to move his attention to the peach tree, Aman said that it had a divine sense?

Aman obviously knew who said this, "Why did they do this to you?" Even if you don't hurt anyone, can you resist? ”

"I was here more than 200 years ago, I was the first peach tree here, and then someone came here, and it was because of me that I named this place Taoyao Village, and then their descendants took me as the surname to this day, I have witnessed the birth, growth, and death of everyone here, they are like my children, how can a father be beaten and killed because of his children's occasional mistakes?"

"What if they do burn you?"

"You see there are already hundreds of peach trees here, and even without me, people here can live well."

Two hundred years, the peach tree demon is still the peach tree demon, but the human race has changed generation after generation, is the demon too affectionate or ruthless, Aman only thinks that the peach demon is a little stupid, and these people today are no longer those who are willing to accompany him.

"There is only one bandit, and I will only be good to a bandit alone, and if a bandit marries a wife and has children in the future, I will not be good to your son."

Aman's words made Feng Chen's bandit stunned, marrying a wife and having children, he hadn't thought about it, his wife should be Siwan, at that time, would Aman still be by his side?
