After a period of running, the three people who went to the village have already arrived at Huayuan Village. The whole Huayuan Village is not big, a wide road runs through the village, and you can walk from one end to the other in ten minutes, and walk out of the village.

The houses in Huayuan Village are all two-story wooden buildings, but these houses look a little dilapidated, as if they have been abandoned for a long time and have not been repaired. But even so, there are still many people living here, but these people are all gray-haired old men!

Fake Ye Cheng stood on the road, looked around, and saw that there were all old people around, and suddenly felt a strangeness. He approached Bai Yingping slightly and asked in a low voice, "Why are there some old people here?" ”

"I don't know, it's my first time here. Let's leave that alone, let's find a place to ask if any strangers have been here lately."

Bai Yingping also saw it, but he was also puzzled. Finally, his eyes stayed on a tavern on the left hand side of him, and then he said, "Let's go into the tavern and sit down and see if we can get some news."

Taverns are places to talk, and some people tend to confide in them when they get drunk, so it's easy to get news when you go there. This method is very effective no matter how it is used, and at that time in Xiao State, Bai Yingping also relied on this method to find out the situation of the Xiuwen Academy. And now he still needs to use this method to find out if Long Yin has been here.

The three of them walked forward, entered the tavern, and sat down in a corner to the left of the door.

After the three of them sat down, Bai Yingping looked around and saw that the guests in the tavern were also completely old people. Since entering the village, he has never seen a young and strong young man, Bai Yingping is very puzzled, why are all old people in Huayuan Village?

And just then, a slightly hunchbacked old man came to their table with a copper kettle. The old man wiped the table with the white rag in his hand, then unfolded the cup and placed one in front of each of the three people, and then he poured water into the quilt with a copper kettle. The brown water slowly entered the quilt, and the smell of tea came to the nostrils.

After pouring the water, the old man said very kindly: "The three guests have a cup of tea first, just ask for something and tell the old man."

Bai Yingping was not polite, he picked up the quilt and took a sip. The tea turned from astringent to sweet in his throat, and it tasted excellent. Bai Yingping praised in a row: "The tea in the old gentleman's shop is really fragrant"

The old man was also a little happy when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he replied: "The guest officer has won the award."

Bai Yingping also relaxed when he looked at the old man, so he was going to strike while the iron was hot and ask about the situation. Bai Yingping put the cup down, then turned his head to look at the old man, and asked, "By the way, old man, I want to ask why there are all old people in this village, where have the young people gone?" ”

"This one"

The old man shook for a moment, he turned his head to look at the drinkers, then looked back at Bai Yingping, and said with a smile: "That's right, this is close to the border, and beyond the border is a desolate borderland. As you know, there's nothing to make a living in the Borderlands, and no horse traders pass through here, so the village has to go to the inland towns to make a living. As soon as the young people go out, the old people stay here, and gradually only the old people are left in Huayuan Village."

"I see"

Bai Yingping understood. After the question just now, he was familiar with the old man, so Bai Yingping planned to continue to ask questions in depth. Bai Ying calmed down and continued to ask, "By the way, old man, have you seen some strange people come here recently?" ”

"Strange people?" The old man hesitated.

Seeing that the old man hesitated, Bai Yingping thought that there must be a clue, so he hurriedly reminded: "Those people are all bones, and they look like some kind of animal."

The old man said, "It seems that there is something you said about it."

"Really?" Hearing this, Bai Yingping's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at the old man, and he couldn't wait to get more news.

And the old man also said slowly at this time: "Actually, there are only two people, they are all bones, and they do look like something. One of them was very big and ate all the time. Judging by his size and the bones on his body, he looks very much like a pig. And the other one is a very handsome young man, the bones on his body look like animals, and the old man can't tell what kind of animal, but he looks majestic, exuding an airless atmosphere."

The news came at a timely time, and this is what they wanted.

Bai Yingping turned his head to look at False Leaf City and Ji Ji Lingshuang with a happy expression. Fake Ye Cheng was a little calm, and looked at Bai Yingping without saying anything. Ji Ji Lingshuang also smiled happily, looking very happy.

Then Bai Yingping looked back at the old man and said, "Old man, the tea in your shop is very good, but we don't have time to continue to enjoy it, we still have urgent matters to deal with, so we have to leave immediately."

After hearing this, the old man did not keep it, but continued to add tea to the quilt of the three people, and said: "The relatives of the year are actually busy, so the old man will not keep it, and drink tea again."

"Thank you, old man"

Bai Yingping thanked him, then picked up the wine glass and drank the tea in the cup.

The three of them drank the tea and left the tavern in a hurry, which was seen by the old man and the guest officer, and they said one after another:

"Are young people in such a hurry nowadays?"

"Do you just leave without eating?"

"Young people nowadays really don't care about their bodies"

……

In the voices of several old men, the three of them had already left the tavern and ran in the direction of the village entrance.

In the process of running, Bai Yingping looked excited, he didn't expect to get the news about Long Yin so easily. But soon his face sank and became much more solemn. This was because he thought of the next question to face, which was how they would climb to the top of Huatian Mountain. The steepness of Huatian Mountain is already obvious to all, and it is not so easy to reach the top.

Then Bai Yingping turned his head to look at the fake leaf city running side by side on the right side, and asked, "You also saw the situation of Huatian Mountain before, can you wait for the top of the mountain?" ”

Fake Ye Cheng heard the voice and knew that he was talking to himself, but he didn't turn his head to look over, but kept looking ahead. He pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I don't know, I can't know until I confirm it at the foot of the mountain." But if the ownerless can go up, so can I."

Ji Ji Lingshuang, who was on Bai Yingping's left, still didn't believe it when he heard this. He turned his head to look at False Leaf City and said, "Are you really sure that the cliff face is almost perpendicular to the ground, and it is smooth, and the height reaches above the clouds?" ”

Fake Ye Cheng didn't speak again this time, he continued to run.

Seeing this, Ji Ji Lingshuang couldn't continue to say anything. Bai Yingping also felt that it was not good to ask, so he turned his head to look at Ji Ji Lingshuang and shook his head to signal not to ask again.

In this way, the three of them continued to run in the direction of Huatian Mountain.
