Chapter 6: The Strange Village
On this day, the sun was hanging high, so hot that the void looked distorted, the earth was burned, and Luo Bai and Tang Xun'er were already sweating profusely, and their clothes were soaked with sweat inside and out, and even breathing was a little difficult.
Luo Luo's white eyes swept towards Tang Xun'er from time to time, and the other party found that his small movements were only rolled in return, and he didn't have the strength to worry about him at all.
"Luobai, is there still water?" asked Tang Xun'er in a faint voice.
After many days of getting along, Tang Xun'er slowly got used to the title of Luo Bai, which sounded a little ambiguous, but she also had the right to be required by the task.
Luo Bai shook his head, the hose that was filled last time was already empty, and he was also thirsty at this time.
It's so desolate that there's not even a tree, and the ground is covered with wrist-thick cracks, and it looks like it's been a long time since it's rained.
"I couldn't walk, my body was going to collapse. Tang Xun'er staggered, looking like she was going to fall down at any moment.
Luo Bai stretched out his hand to help her, "Hold on a little longer, you see there is smoke in front, there should be someone's house." ”
But as soon as the words fell, Tang Xun'er suddenly collapsed on the ground, panting constantly.
Luo Luo Bai pulled her up and put her on her back with difficulty, originally he walked alone was a little swinging, but now it was even more difficult to carry Tang Xun'er on his back, moving forward like a snail.
With every step he took, there was a muffled sound under his feet!
The oxygen content in the air became very thin due to the high temperature, causing her white face to turn red, as if it had been roasted.
It didn't take long for his consciousness to begin to blur, he could no longer keep walking in a straight line, sweat kept sliding down his cheeks, Tang Xun'er felt pity, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat flowing into the corners of his eyes for Luo Bai.
"Whew...... Almost there, there's a village ahead, hold on. ”
Luo Bai gritted his teeth, even he couldn't hold on anymore, and he was still cheering Tang Xun'er up.
"You...... Is it okay?" Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Tang Xun'er's heart was sour.
"Whatever you say, a man can't say no!"
Luo Bai grinned and forced a smile, saying this, but her legs were trembling......
In order to keep Luo Bai awake, Tang Xun'er has been looking for topics to chat with him.
"It stands to reason that you have a lot more vitality than me, shouldn't it be exhausted so quickly, right?" Although this was a deliberate attempt to find fault, it was indeed a doubt in Tang Xun'er's heart.
Luo Bai smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Hmm!" Tang Xun'er nodded.
"I can't cultivate Yuan Qi at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Xun'er's originally sleepy eyes suddenly enlarged!
How can you explain the battle with the bandit leader before? Could it be ...... Tang Xun'er didn't dare to think about it anymore, if it was really what she thought, Luo Luobai would be too perverted!
"Uh...... You ......" Tang Xun'er's mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say.
"Hehe, my bloodline has been sealed, and I can't gather vitality. Luo Bai smiled, "You should have also discovered in the previous battles, I didn't use the Yuan Qi at all. ”
"But......" Tang Xun'er asked with wide eyes, "but the robber's arm ......"
"I have cultivated the physical arts, since the path of cultivating vitality cannot be followed, then choose another path, this is life! A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine!"
Although Qi Luobai's words don't sound very elegant, they imply the truth!
In the process of chatting, Luo Bai's footsteps did not stop, and he walked for nearly an hour and finally arrived at the village village, and his body finally couldn't hold on, and one leg "plopped" and knelt on the ground.
Tang Xun'er was carried for so long, and her physical strength recovered, and when she saw Luo Luobai falling to the ground, she hurriedly jumped off his back and helped him.
The two of them helped each other to walk towards the village, and the moment they just entered the village, the cool air suddenly enveloped them, and they felt breathing more smoothly than ever!
"Huh?" Tang Xun'er was suspicious, looking at Luo Bai beside her, "Do you feel it?"
Luo Bai nodded, although the other party didn't say what it was, he could guess that the sudden changes around him also surprised him.
He stretched his arms back with suspicion, and strange things happened again. The air was crisp and cool where he was standing, and his outstretched arm was like fire!
"This place is a little weird, be careful!" he withdrew his arm, his eyes rolling to look at his surroundings, "This situation is similar to an enchantment, but it shouldn't be an enchantment, after all, if the enchantment is not approved by the caster, outsiders can't enter and exit at will, but if it's an enchantment......"
Luo Bai suddenly paused and frowned, "If it's an enchantment, then we must be within the caster's line of sight now, and he deliberately let us in!"
"Ah...... Will it be dangerous?"
"Don't panic, and don't look for him. Luo Bai lowered his voice, "Now we are in the light, the other party is in the dark, if he doesn't come to provoke us, then treat it as if nothing happened, we don't have the physical strength to fight now, let's find a place to settle down first." ”
Xun'er nodded, pretending to be nothing as Luo Bai said, this has always been her usual skill, and it is not difficult for her to do it.
The village was unusually quiet, and the doors of the houses were closed, and if they hadn't seen smoke rising from the stove everywhere, they would have thought it was a deserted village.
Luo Bai tried to knock on the doors of several houses, but no one responded.
"It's strange, there are obviously people cooking in the courtyard, why don't they open the door?" With questions, he looked for a few more targets, this time knocking on people who looked relatively wealthy, but the result was still no one agreed, lifeless.
At this moment, there was the sound of irregular footsteps behind them, and the two immediately looked back. I saw a drunken man staggering in their direction.
The man lowered his head, his face unkempt and his face could not be seen clearly, his body was in tattered clothes like a beggar, he carried a broken gourd in his hand, and he muttered something that he didn't know what he was muttering.
Luo Bai and Xun'er looked at each other helplessly, since they entered the village, they have always seen a living person, but ...... Can this man help them? I'm afraid he can't be considered a normal person like this.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the crazy beggar also noticed them, and immediately stopped walking forward, brushed his hair in front of him, and looked directly at the two of them.
Xun'er shivered at his sight, and hurriedly moved behind Luo Bai.
"Hahaha...... Talented women!" The mad beggar suddenly looked up and laughed, pointing at the two of them and saying madly.
When he looked up, his face leaked out. It was an old man over half a hundred years old, with a scruffy beard showing the vicissitudes of life.
There was not a trace of fat on his arm, only a piece of skin, covered with bones, to be exact.
The pair of black pupils are scary, they look bright, and compared to his lazy appearance, I always feel that those eyes should not grow on his face!
"Crazy!" Kaoru couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
"Hahaha......" Hearing Kaoru'er's scolding, he not only didn't get angry but laughed again, "Crazy...... Call me crazy, why don't you?"
"You ....." Tang Xun'er was about to speak when she heard this, but was stopped by Luo Bai.
Tang Xun'er looked at Yu Luobai with a puzzled face, the other party was just a crazy beggar, and it was already cheap for him not to beat him, but he didn't think about it, but he just wanted to scold him, but he was stopped by Luo Bai.
The next moment, Luo Luobai made a move that made Tang Xun'er even more puzzled. I saw that Yu Luobai hugged his fist at the crazy beggar, and said respectfully, "Please don't blame the senior, my friend is hot-tempered, I apologized to you on her behalf, I don't know what the predecessor said?"
Tang Xun'er looked at him with a shocked face, and said in her heart that you are too thick-skinned, what kind of courtesy do you do to a crazy beggar, your dignity is too worthless! However, the latter ignored her expression at all, and quietly waited for the crazy beggar's reply.
"Hehe, you're a little interesting! The mad beggar waved his hand and said.
After hearing this, Tang Xun'er's heart became even more angry, but she didn't attack under the forcible stop of Luo Luobai.
"Please also ask the seniors to make it clear!"
"Haha! Two strangers, do you know what this place is?" said the mad beggar, pouring a sip of wine into his mouth, and then continued, "I am indeed a madman, and not only me, but anyone who dares to walk down this street in broad daylight will be considered mad!"
"Why?" curiosity arose in her heart.
He also wondered why he had knocked on the doors of so many people and no one responded, and what the reason for this must have been.
"If you had come from somewhere else, you would have been surprised that the temperature in this village was very different from that outside the village, right?" the mad beggar asked rhetorically.
Luo Bai nodded, waiting for the mad beggar to continue.
"That's because Master Yang is going out. ”
These words made Luo Bai confused, "What does this mean?"
"Hey, it's hard to put it into words! To put it simply, as soon as the weather is cold, it means that Master Yang is going out, and Master Yang will make people cry when he goes out! You should also quickly find a place to hide, it is best not to let him meet, especially if you ....." The crazy beggar suddenly turned to Tang Xun'er and said.
"Neurotic!" Tang Xun'er rolled her eyes, ignoring what the mad beggar said.
"Kaoru...... Don't mess around!" Luo Bai reprimanded her in a low voice, but Tang Xun'er snorted coldly and even ignored him.
"Hehe, I've said enough, if you think I'm crazy, you don't have to listen, you can't blame me for suffering in the end!"
With that, the mad beggar staggered and prepared to leave.
"Senior, please stay!" Seeing that he was leaving, Luo Bai hurriedly shouted, "I just called the doors of several houses and no one opened them, I wonder if the seniors can make it convenient, how about we go to your mansion for a while?"
"I don't care where you go!" said the mad beggar without looking back.
Luo Bai smiled bitterly, this uncle is also a person with personality, although he is sloppy and sloppy, and he doesn't like to speak, but Luo Luobai is not disgusted with him, so he pulled Tang Xun'er to follow.
Tang Xun'er was unhappy, but she had no choice but to stalemate with Luo Bai, and finally followed.
I didn't go far before, and suddenly the sound of a bell came from the street, and the crazy beggar who was walking in front heard this sound like a different person, and he no longer had the previous calmness, and frantically pushed Luo Bai and Tang Xun'er!
"Let's go, get out of the way! Master Yang is coming!"
