When I arrived at the entrance of Peach Blossom Village, it was already white in the East, and all the old and young women and children in the village stood at the entrance of the village and looked forward to the return of their relatives. A few old people in the front row held torches, shining on the faces of the villagers, which made them look even more weathered. Seeing Zhan Wuxian appear, all the villagers gathered around, and saw that there were many soldiers and horses wearing armor behind him, they were stunned at first, and then saw that they were coming with Zhan Wuxian, and they all felt strange, I don't know where this Mr. Zhan borrowed the men and horses from. Looking at the unconscious villagers on horseback, they thought that what Zhan Wuxian brought back was a corpse, and his relatives were no longer alive. Some women saw their husbands lying on horseback, their clothes in tatters, their hair disheveled, their eyes closed, motionless, and they could not help but weep in grief. One of them wept bitterly, and the rest of the people began to cry too, and the cry shook the sky. The women wept, the men went to move the bodies of their loved ones, and the scene became chaotic.

Zhan Wuxian hurriedly said: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, your relatives are not dead, but they have fallen into an evil spell and are temporarily unconscious." ”

An old man said, "I just tried, and they all have no breath. Please sir, please do the magic and save them. ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "I don't have a way to save them, but when I chased the bandits, I caught one of their accomplices, I think he must know how to rescue the villagers." After speaking, Zhan Wuxian commanded the phantom warriors to help the villagers off their horses and lie down on the flat ground, and then took down the face cloth of the man in black who was caught. I saw that this person was handsome, with a square face and thick eyebrows, round tiger eyes, and resoluteness. Zhan Wuxian uncovered the man's dumb hole and asked, "Who are you, and why did you come here to kidnap the villagers?" ”

The man glared and said, "I was captured by you, and I will kill if I want to, so why ask?" ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "The big husband dares to act boldly, what dare not say." Besides, I didn't capture you. ”

The man's face was astonished, and he asked, "What?" Didn't you restrain me? ”

Zhan Wuxian said: "You were thrown by a snake-haired man in black and caught by me." You've fainted by then, so don't count you as I caught. ”

When the man heard this, his resolute eyes slowly faded, he lowered his head, pondered for a while, and said to himself, "They still treat me as a mustard." After saying that, the man raised his head sharply and said, "Okay, I say, I'll say it all!" I am Wu Zixu, a native of Chu, and I am forced to come here. …..”

"Let's not talk about this for now, let me ask you, why are these villagers unconscious, and what medicine have you given them?" Zhan Wuxian interrupted him.

"They've been given tasteless soul powder."

"How do you get rid of them?"

Wu Zixu pondered for a while and said, "If I solve the poison of the villagers, will you let me go?" The implication is that if he is not released, he would rather die with these poisoned villagers.

Zhan Wuxian smiled: "Listening to what you said just now, you were also forced to come here helplessly, as for why I don't know yet, but I see that you have a righteous face, not like a bad person." I promise you, as long as you wake up the villagers and explain the reason for coming, as long as you don't do the heinous thing, I will naturally let you go. ”

"You talk counts?"

"The eldest husband will believe his word, of course it counts."

"Okay!" Wu Zixu said: "There is a yellow clay bottle in my bag, and the façade antidote is washed with water, and the poison of the villagers' soul powder will be dissolved after a few hours." ”

Immediately, Zhan Wuxian got the antidote and asked the women in the village to take it for the unconscious villagers.

"Mr. Zhan, Youyi hasn't come back yet, have you seen him?" A voice that was about to cry shouted, it was Luo Ying. Yesterday was her wedding day, and she never thought that on the night of the candles in the cave room, the joy of being together and kneeling, and when the flowers sat together, suddenly a disaster came, and the newlyweds were taken away by a group of people in black. So far, everyone else has been rescued safely, but Sina Youyi has not been seen, leaving only the bride Luoying alone grief-stricken.

Zhan Wuxian stood aside, and was suddenly asked by Luo Ying, but he didn't know how to answer. He remembered saving everyone.

Grandpa Luo said at this time: "Youyi is the groom, my granddaughter Luoying is the bride, yesterday was when the two of them got married, who would have thought that such a disaster would fall from the sky.........." said and couldn't help crying.

Zhan Wuxian said: "Grandpa Luo, Miss Luo, don't be too sad. I was chasing the thieves, and when they fled, I saw that they did not take the others away, and I don't know if Youyi was hiding in the mountains. He turned to Wu Zixu and said, "Have you ever seen the two men in black who fled take away the villagers?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Wu Zixu said: "What's more, I already fainted at that time. The latter sentence was very quiet, but it was still heard by Zhan Wuxian, who glared at him angrily.

Luo Ying said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zhan, where did you save the villagers?" I'm going to go there to find memories. ”

Zhan Wuxian was stunned, "This ...... ...... this," he replied at a moment's notice.

At this time, Mo Wuya had also rushed over, and happened to hear what Luo Ying said. Mo Wuya said: "In the deep mountains and forests, it is extremely dangerous for a girl to go by herself, and Grandpa Luo will not rest assured." It's better for you to take a trip to the mountains again, and then look for the whereabouts of Youyi, maybe he got lost in the mountains. If they find him, bring him back so that they can be reunited. ”

Without waiting for Zhan Wuxian to speak, Luo Ying knelt down and said, "Mr. Zhan, please take me with you too, if you can find a memory, I will never forget your great kindness." Zhan Wuxian hurriedly helped Luo Ying up and said, "Little sister, get up, I promise you will try your best to find your groom." However, the forests in the mountains are deep and secluded, and there are often fierce beasts infested, which is very dangerous. You'd better wait at home for news from me. Luo Ying frowned, tears welled up, and shook her head with her teeth clenched.

Mo Wuya saw that Luo Ying insisted on entering the mountain, so he persuaded: "Sister Luo, I miss you who haven't rested all night, and my sister hasn't rested either, so tired." I think so, it's better for my sister to accompany my sister home to rest for a while, and let Brother Zhan go if you are looking for Youyi, he will escape from the technique, to get as fast as lightning, and take you to his side He is inconvenient to perform, what should I do if I delay looking for Youyi? Why don't we wait for his good news at home, and let Brother Zhan take the phantom warrior to find it, okay? After listening to Luoying, although she didn't know what the escape technique and the phantom martial arts were, she had seen Zhan Wuxian flying after the man in black, and his body was like lightning and wind, if she had to follow, she would definitely delay Zhan Wuxian's search and rescue Youyi, but a good thing turned into a bad thing, and it was really inconvenient. So he nodded, looked at Zhan Wuxian with expectant eyes, and slowly followed Mo Wuya back.

Zhan Wuxian looked at the people in the village, and saw the child who had fought yesterday, only to see him standing tall with his chest up, and his eyebrows were full of heroism. Zhan Wuxin said: Now that the young and middle-aged men in the village have been poisoned and unconscious, I have no one to take care of Wu Zixu, so I can only find children to do it.

So Zhan Wuxian said to Zhu Zhu: "Zhu Zhu Zhu, you come here." Lu Shizhu walked over, looked up at Zhan Wuxian and asked, "How do you know my name?" Zhan Wuxian smiled: "I naturally know that I have something for you to do, can you do it?" "You are the great benefactor of our village, I will do whatever you tell me to do, even if I fight for my life." Zhan Wuxian said: "Good boy." You take care of this Chu man for the time being, don't let him run away. Now we don't know if the antidote he gave can cure the poison of the villagers, and we can't let him escape until the villagers are poisoned, you know? "Got it." He nodded in agreement.

So Zhan Wuxian locked Wu Zixu in an uninhabited earthen house in the village, and was guarded by Zhu Shuzhu, and then said goodbye to Mo Wuya and the villagers in the village, and turned around to the mountains to find memories.

Dark clouds gradually covered the bright moon, and the night sky seemed even darker. The torches in Peach Blossom Village are bright, and each intersection is guarded by the elders of the village, first, if there are robbers entering the village, the whole village can be reported in time, and secondly, in case of Wu Zixu, if he wants to escape, he can be intercepted at the entrance of the village, and if Zhan Wuxian returns to the village, he must tell Luoying as soon as possible, which is Mo Wuya's special request.

After a long night, the sun rises in the east, and Zhan Wuxian has not returned. Not only were Luo Ying and the others anxious, but Mo Wuqian was also gradually a little worried, hoping that the people they were worried about would come back safely as soon as possible.

Unconsciously, Wu Zixu only felt hungry in his stomach, his mouth was dry, the rope on his body was as tight as steel tongs, and his whole body was like a knife, which was extremely uncomfortable. "Little brother, can you give me a bowl of water?" Wu Zixu shouted to the slurs outside the house. When he entered the house, he stared at Wu Zixu with both eyes, only to see that his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and he kept opening his mouth and panting, looking extremely painful and embarrassed.

When Wu Zixu saw Zhu Zhu coming in, he begged: "Little brother, give me a bowl of water to drink." He stood there motionless, as if he had not heard him. Wu Zixu said in his heart: The peasant in the countryside is upright, and when Zhan Wuxian was leaving, he asked this kid to look at me, and it seemed that if he blindly begged him, he would not listen to me. So he said to him, "That gentleman asked you to look at me?" ”

He nodded.

"As long as I'm still there before he comes back, and it's okay, you'll complete the task and live up to the trust, right?"

He nodded again.

"I'm thirsty now, and I'm seriously wounded, and if you don't give me water to drink, I'll die soon, and then the gentleman will come and see what you do?"

When he heard this, he immediately became anxious and flustered: "That... That..."

"As long as you give me water to drink, I won't die, and you can explain when that gentleman comes back."

"You wait." Xue Shuzhu went outside the house and scooped a scoop of water back to feed Wu Zixu to drink: "I saw that you were pitiful, so I fetched water for you." ”

Wu Zixu finished drinking and said with a smile: "Thank you, little brother." I haven't eaten in two days, can you get me something to eat? Don't worry, with a rope tied, I won't run. ”

He set up all his hearts and said: I have already given him water to drink, and it will not be impossible to give him some food. If he really dies, Mr. Zhan will definitely blame me when he comes back. So he took out two rice balls and fed them to Wu Zixu, which his mother specially left for him for lunch. Wu Zixu thanked him repeatedly, and after a while, he said: "Little brother, the rope on my body is tied too tightly, it has seeped into the flesh, and it hurts badly, can you loosen it for me?" ”

"No way!" "What should I do if I let go of you and you run away?" Mr. Zhan will blame me when he comes back. ”

"You don't have to worry, I promised you you wouldn't run. Besides, Mr. Zhan's martial arts and spells are unfathomable, even if I can run, I will be caught by him. Besides, I've figured it out, you and Mr. Zhan are both good people, and I still have important things to wait for Mr. Zhan to come back and tell him, how can I leave? ”

"Really, you're not running?"

"Really. I can see that you admire a hero like Mr. Zhan very much, and I admire it too. The big heroes are all good at what they say, and their words count. Even if we're not big heroes, we have to learn from big heroes, don't we? ”

"Well, for your sake, I'll trust you for once." After speaking, he took out a knife and cut the rope on Wu Zixu's body.

Wu Zixu suddenly laughed, stood up and walked towards the door, and he didn't know what to do for a while. I saw Wu Zixu push open the door with both hands, and the scorching sun poured in from the doorway, illuminating the whole hut very brightly. Wu Zixu breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards Zhu Shizhu again. At this time, the six gods have no owner, and they look low and weak in front of Wu Zixu. Wu Zixu's eyes were fixed on the stingers, and the shadows of his body covered the whole sting, one seemed so powerful, and the other looked so small.

Suddenly, Wu Zixu smiled lightly, sat on the ground, and said, "Little brother, tie me up again." He was extremely shocked and said, "You don't run? ”

"I said I wouldn't run, so of course I won't run."

"I see that you are also a person who counts, I won't tie you up, let's wait for Mr. Zhan to come back here and see what he does with you."

Wu Zixu saw that he was so honest when he was so young, so he said: "Little brother, how about we make friends?" Lu Shizhu glanced at Wu Zixu and said, "If the antidote you give works, the uncles will wake up, and I will make friends with you." If your antidote is fake, I'll kill you. Wu Zixu said: "What a little hero, with clear grievances." My antidote is true, by noon, the folks will naturally wake up, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it then. ”

Look at the sun in the sky, it will be noon. At this time, a young boy came from the village, carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, and saw Yu Shi Zhudao: "Your mother asked me to give you something to eat." As he spoke, he handed over the basket.

"Where's my mother?"

"I'm taking care of my uncles."

"The uncles are awake, but they can't move yet. Oh, your mother said she brought food for the man, too. ”

He said in his heart: "That Wu Zixu didn't lie to me, his antidote is not fake. So he turned around and returned to the earthen house, and saw Wu Zixu still sitting on the ground.

"I've made friends with you." Set up all the ways.

"Good brother!" Wu Zixu said happily, took out a piece of jade pendant from his waist and said, "This piece of jade is given to you." ”

"I can't ask for anything from you." Set up all the hand-waving ways.

"Now that we're friends, we should be honest with each other." Wu Zixu said: "I gave you the jade pendant for nothing else, just because today, the princes are in dispute, and as a native of Chu, I should serve Chu." This time I came to Peach Blossom Village, although it was not my intention, but I was an accomplice when I came, and I was arrested. Even if Mr. Zhan doesn't kill me when he comes back, he will be killed by traitors when he returns to Chu State. The villagers are simple, not like the intrigue in the court, everyone is selfish, unscrupulous. As a brother, I am afraid that I will not be able to see my little brother again in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll take it." "If Mr. Zhan comes back and wants to kill you, I will desperately intercede for you; If Mr. Zhan doesn't kill you, you won't go back to Chu. ”

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "My parents and brothers are in Chu State, where can I go if I don't go back?" After saying that, it was difficult to send back thoughts. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what to worry about.

After a while, Wu Zixu said, "I don't want to do this." Is there alcohol? How about a few drinks with your brother? ”

"Good! The peach blossom wine brewed in our Peach Blossom Village is mellow and sweet, and it is the most delicious, you wait, I'll get it. "Lu Shizhu has now completely regarded Wu Zixu as a friend.

After a while, Zhu Zhu brought a jar of peach blossom wine and two large pottery bowls, and the two of them drank it. Wu Zixu told Zhu about the heroic deeds of the nations, and talked about Cao Mo's close capture of Duke Qi Huan; Speaking of the world's first swordsman Bo Ba chasing and killing Jin Wengong, who is still a son; talked about the Jin State God of War Xianzhen and the Chu State Cheng Dechen; said that Qin Guodu was brave and invincible, and in the end he could only kill him with the help of the power of the corpse demon; also told the story of the arrow god of the Yang clan of the Chu State Clan, raising Youji to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps. In the end, I only heard that Zhu Yixing Ruifei was yearning, and he couldn't stop pouring wine for Wu Zixu to let him talk again.

He asked, "How do those people you said compare to Mr. Zhan?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "In my opinion, Mr. Zhan is a master of the world, a figure like an unpredictable ghost. When it comes to martial arts, it's the highest I've ever seen. I heard that Childe's defeat was all Mr. Zhan's defeat. ”

"Who is Childe's enemy?"

"He is known as the number one warrior in the world, with the power of ghosts and gods, the son of the current King of Chu, the son of the enemy."

"One day, I will do something big and vigorous, and I will be like the heroes you said."

"If you have ambition, you can do it. Come, brother, drink. ”

He drank a bowl of wine, a little drunk, and said, "The people in the village say that I can only fight, and I have no interest. I don't believe it, if I have the opportunity, I will also break into the rivers and lakes, do a career, and let them see.

Wu Zixu said: "Although the rivers and lakes are sinister, aspiring men are to face difficulties and break through if they want to." If my brother can go back alive, I will definitely help my brother and help him fulfill his wish. ”

"Little brother, thank you here, big brother. The younger brother salutes the eldest brother again. ”

Before they knew it, the two of them had finished drinking a jar of wine, and they didn't feel happy, so they brought another jar and continued to drink, only to drink until the two of them were drunk and didn't wake up.
