Xu Gang and they have walked out of the deep mountains and come to the hilly area, which is full of rolling hills, full of lush green trees and low bushes, the birds in the forest are fragrant, the climate is pleasant, small rabbits, squirrels and other small animals often haunt, they are very alert, after hearing Xu Gang's footsteps, they fled in a smoke!

The orange-red sun hung obliquely in the sky, and its light sprinkled through the dense foliage into the forest, reflecting many beautiful spots of different rules on the ground, and together with the grass, wild flowers, and fallen leaves on the ground, it drew a beautiful picture. They passed through the woods to the top of the hill, and saw a small village in the col ahead, and a small river flowed down from the distant mountain, and passed through the village, and flowed to the left, and in the village there seemed to be curling smoke wafting up, and all around them were golden wheat fields, and the ears of wheat swayed slightly with the breeze, and they fell together, like rippling water, and it was very beautiful.

"It's beautiful!" Liu Ziyi twisted his waist, kicked his legs, stretched out his hand, moved his body, and looked at the beautiful scenery in the mountain col, his face was full of longing.

"Brother Xu, do you have any money with you?" Wu Ling'er pulled Xu Gang's sleeve and said.

Xu Gang was puzzled when he heard her ask for money, but he still looked for it on his body, took out a handful of iron coins, about twenty or thirty pieces, and handed it to her: "I got rid of it during the fight, only so much, is it enough?" ”

Wu Ling'er waved her hand, didn't take the money, and pointed to the village below and said, "You can just take the money, I just want to eat rice!" ”

During this time, she either eats dry food or eats wild fruits, Xu Gang feels that it doesn't matter, just stutter, but Wu Ling'er has loved to eat rice since she was a child, and she hasn't tasted the fragrance of rice for so long, if she has been in the deep mountains and forests, she can bear it, and suddenly a village appeared, which immediately aroused her desire for rice.

Xu Gang looked at her, her face was obviously thinner than when she first met, her chin was sharper, she still looked so beautiful, but it was also distressing.

"Okay, let's go, it's getting dark." Xu Gang greeted the second daughter.

This small hill is close to the village, it is the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to draft, the people in the village usually go up the mountain to cut timber and hunt, so there is a zigzag and tactful path on the mountain leading directly to the bottom of the mountain, both sides of the trail are high weeds, Xu Gang when they go down to the foot of the mountain, the sun also hides behind the opposite mountain.

Following the field path, shuttling through the middle of the wheat field, inhaling the fragrance of wheat in their noses, Xu Gang and the others soon came to the intersection of the village, where the houses were all made of stone and wood, all surrounded by a small courtyard with a fence, the roof was covered with straw, and some chimneys were still emitting green smoke. They found a family near the intersection, his fence yard is not very big, a grass shed was built on the right side, some chickens and ducks and other livestock were raised in the shed, there was a well with carved stone well railings and derricks on the left side, there was a stone platform on the side of the well, there was a woman sitting on the edge of the well washing vegetables, Xu Gang stood outside the fence door, and shouted to the woman: "This little lady, the three of us passed through here, lost our way, and want to rest here with you, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

When the woman heard this, she looked up at the door, and when she saw Xu Gang and them, she immediately stood up, only to see her coarse linen clothes, a gray cloth towel wrapped around her head, her long hair parted from the middle, pulled to her ears and intersected with her temples, woven into two long braids, she looked delicate, slender, and her eyes looked at Xu Gang suspiciously, tilting her head and looking at them blankly.

Xu Gang saw that she was looking at herself and the others, but she didn't speak, so she hugged her fists and saluted, repeating what she had just said. The little lady finally reflected at this time, only to see her scream softly, drop the food in her hand, and run back to the house.

"Uh~" Xu Gang touched his head, his face full of doubts.

"Giggle~~" The laughter of Liu Ziyi and Wu Ling'er came from behind him.

Xu Gang turned his head with an embarrassed face, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he quipped: "Am I too ugly to scare away the little lady of everyone!" ”

"Hahaha~~" When Wu Ling'er heard him say this, she immediately burst out laughing, and said while laughing: "There is absolutely nothing, Xu Gongzi, you are so good-looking, she must have been fascinated by you and went in the wrong direction?" ”

Xu Gang glared at Wu Ling'er and laughed himself.

"Three guests, please come in!" Not long after the little lady entered the house, an old man came out of it, who looked to be fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair, walking with a vigorous pace, and it could be seen that he was in good health, he opened the fence door, and smiled and invited Xu Gang and them.

Xu Gang, as a representative, hugged his fist to the old man and saluted back: "Thank you, uncle." ”

The old man nodded, made a gesture of please, and walked ahead to lead them through the courtyard into the house.

The house is not very big, there is a stove in the innermost part on the right, there are two iron pots on it, one large and one small, the big pot is steaming, there is a kitchen cabinet next to the stove, there is a window next to the cabinet, and a square table for eating, three doors are opened on the left side of the house, the door is covered with a curtain, and behind the door is the bedroom.

Just now, the woman stood in the door in the left corner, lifted the curtain and looked at Xu Gang and them timidly.

Xu Gang learned from the old man that their village was called Shijia Village, because most of the people here were surnamed Shi. The woman was his granddaughter, who had lived in the village since she was a child and had never met strangers, so she was a little uncomfortable.

In order to entertain Xu Gang and them, the old man took out the bacon stored at home, and added three more people's rice to the pot.

After the old man was done, Xu Gang and Liu Ziyi sat on one side, Wu Linger sat on one side with the little lady, Xu Gang was not too embarrassed to eat too much, and quickly put down two large bowls of rice, then got off the table, and it didn't take long for everyone to finish eating. The old man saw that it was dark, so he forced Xu Gang and them to stay for one night, and then hurried tomorrow, and the little lady also went to clean up the room for Xu Gang and them under the instructions of the old man.

Suddenly, the dogs in the village barked, accompanied by crying, scolding, and shouting

When Xu Gang and the others heard the sound, they all came to the courtyard, only to see the fire in the middle of the village, and two black shadows quickly rushed towards the old man's house under the reflection of the firelight.

When they got closer, the two figures became clear, and they saw that one of them was holding a four or five-year-old child in his hand, and the child kept struggling on them, crying and crying, and constantly crying: "Mother! ”

Wu Ling'er recognized the identities of those two people at a glance, because they were both dressed in the costumes of Demon Sect disciples. Seeing the crying child in their arms, Xu Gang and the others were all angry, Wu Ling'er gritted her teeth and said hateful, and then greeted the two figures.

Xu Gang pressed Liu Ziyi, who was about to step forward, and said to him: "Sister Ziyi, your injuries are not healed, don't go, you just stay here and protect Uncle Shi and them." Seeing Liu Ziyi nodded, Xu Gang rushed forward with Wu Ling'er.
