The wind blows along the mountain path, and the surrounding bamboo rustles as it sways.

The most lively Li Qiu jumped on a big rock on the side of the road, tried his best to tiptoe forward, and finally shook his head helplessly: "There is no trace of the valley yet, and it is still bamboo." ”

Seinfeld stuck out his tongue behind him: "It's not like you haven't walked this road, there is a stream in the valley, you must at least hear the sound of water before it means that the distance is not far." ”

The three guys in front of him were jumping up and down very quickly, Li Xinchen just looked around in the back, after all, his body was much stronger and more powerful than the original one, so Li Xinchen was afraid of climbing the mountain, it didn't mean that he couldn't climb the mountain, and it was very easy to walk down the way.

What really interests Li Xinchen is the surrounding environment. Even from the top of the mountain, there is no end in sight to the vast sea of bamboo, and the verdant bamboo leaves cover the sky in spring, so you can imagine that even in summer, you can feel the heat here.

The road ahead was getting narrower, and even Li Qiu had already drawn his machete. The ground beneath my feet became wet, and I could faintly hear the sound of the stream churning. I saw that in the pile of rubbles in front of me, a white Lian suddenly jumped out, fell heavily into the gravel under the boulder, and then swirled along the rugged river and went straight down the mountain.

Li Qiu and the others immediately cheered and quickly stepped forward. They are still young, and the family naturally does not dare to really let them go out to spread wild, it is rare to be able to go over the mountains and mountains, and when they see such a fun scene, they naturally can't suppress their childlike fun.

The children in the mountains have always been as simple in heart as the breeze and the blue sky overhead.

Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him, Li Xinchen couldn't help but stand up straight and take a deep breath, such a huge green bamboo sea, the turbulent swirling stream, and the faintly visible tile blue sky in the gap between the bamboo leaves made Li Xinchen fascinated.

After all, 1,500 years later, such a beautiful scenery and such a tiled blue sky are difficult to find.

In an instant, Li Xinchen felt as if he had inadvertently broken into a paradise that had been isolated from the outside world for 1,500 years.

Everything is beautiful like a big empty dream, which Li Xinchen can't bear to destroy.

"In the Jin Taiyuan Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for the industry, the edge of the stream, forgetting the distance of the road, suddenly met the peach blossom forest, and the bank was hundreds of steps ······" Li Xinchen muttered as he jumped over the stream in the footsteps of Li Qiu.

The bamboo sea I came to and the stream in front of me seem to have many similarities with Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source.

Just when Li Xinchen was thinking wildly, Li Qiu in front of him suddenly stopped.

Seinfeld and Zheng Qing were both stunned, and just wanted to speak, but Li Qiu squatted down suddenly. Although Li Xinchen didn't know what was going on, Li Qiu's posture still made him realize something, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Qing and Seinfeld's sleeves to let the two of them hide behind the rocks, and then squatted down and exhaled softly, carefully crawling to Li Qiu's side:

"What's wrong?"

Li Qiu's face, which had a hint of blush from running just now, turned pale at this moment, trembling and stretched out his fingers forward. Li Xinchen was slightly stunned, but still gritted his teeth and reached out to remove the bamboo branch in front of him that blocked the view, and the scene that caught his eye made Li Xinchen subconsciously take a step back.

The bamboos in front of them were cut down to make way for a clearing, and the bones of livestock and the scraps of food were scattered on the ground, and even traces of a fire could be seen. Apparently someone made a fire here, barbecued, ate the livestock, and left.

"Don't act rashly." Li Xinchen lowered his voice, at this moment he could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating, not only him, but Li Qiu beside him was also very nervous.

Except for Li Xinchen and their village, there are no people within a radius of seven or eight mountains. Except for a group of bandits that have just recently appeared. And these bandits have had several encounters with the village, but because they don't know what kind of power this village is, the bandits didn't act rashly. Now it seems that the only possibility is that the bandits are here.

No wonder Li Qiu felt nervous just now, because this group of bandits all had blades and even bows and crossbows in their hands, and once they provoked them, their lives would not be guaranteed.

"Don't panic, let the two of them come over too, let's not separate." Li Xinchen reluctantly calmed himself down, and said in a deep voice, "You see that this smoke has dissipated, and we haven't seen anyone lighting a fire in the mountain just now, which means that they should have been gone for a long time, and it may even be left yesterday." ”

"And what are they doing here?" Li Qiu's voice was still a little trembling.

After a moment of silence, Li Xinchen subconsciously looked back in the direction of the village.

This is already the bottom of the mountain where the village is located, and the surrounding bamboo forests are dense, so it is difficult to attract the attention of the people in the village even if you make a fire, so it can be said that it is a good hiding place. And these thieves go to the Three Treasures Hall all the time, and when they come here, nine times out of ten, they are to find out the situation in the village.

As for what it means for a group of bandits to be interested in a village, Li Xinchen and Li Qiu are very clear. The four of them glanced at each other in the wind, and they all saw the complicated looks in each other's eyes. No matter what, they are four young people who have not been crowned, and it is natural that there will be heartfelt fear and panic when facing death.

"Let's take a look." Li Xinchen patted Li Qiu's shoulder.

Li Qiu was suddenly a little frightened, and shrank back: "Brother Chen, this ······"

Frowning slightly, Li Xinchen said: "A few of us are middle-aged laborers in the village, if we all retreat in the face of this matter, then so many people in the village can wait to be killed." They all take their own knives, and they are as sharp as machetes, and they are still terrible when they cut at people! ”

Stimulated by Li Xinchen, Zheng Qing and Seinfeld had already slowly bent over and touched forward. Although they have not killed anyone, there are still a few wild beasts caught in the mountain, so the normal routine is very clear, and at this time it is more of a subconscious action.

Because Li Xinchen could even see the hands and feet of these two guys trembling.

"Let's go!" Li Xinchen pushed Li Qiu and took the lead in rushing out.

Li Qiu hummed and hurriedly followed Li Xinchen's figure.

The clearing, just behind the rocks by the creek, is a great place to hide from the top of the hill and the stream from the retreat. In an instant, Li Xinchen even had some doubts about the origin of these bandits, and it was more likely that a group of guerrillas would disperse than fleeing refugees.

"It's not going to be easy to deal with." Li Xinchen couldn't help but mutter.

Relying on a group of hunters to deal with the stragglers who had experienced the tempering of the war, Li Xinchen asked himself if he had this ability. And now it seems that these bandits really plan to attack the village.

"We have to figure out where they went!" Li Xinchen lowered his voice.

Seinfeld and the others were obviously more or less aware of the clues, and nodded their heads one after another.
