Xiao Guo asked Gu Zilong: "Brother, who are you?" Is it a singing troupe? Isn't it hot on this kind of hot day, wearing a mask? ”

"Hehe," Gu Zilong smiled a little embarrassedly, "We were originally a theater troupe, but then we suffered an accident, so we changed careers, but occasionally we also sang one or two performances, and some brothers, who were unwilling to reveal their identities anyway, have always had the habit of wearing masks." ”

There must be a reason for not wanting to reveal their identities, Shi Suo and others all thought that this group of people was either thieves or bandits, if they were ordinary people, where would they be afraid of revealing their identities?

Su Xiaotong looked at Gu Zilong twice, and asked with some suspicion, "Are you...... A wise way? ”

"Hmm...... This, no, no, haha...... We're not. Gu Zilong's face showed an embarrassed look again, this one didn't make people hear the flaws, Shi Suo and the others thought that Su Xiaotong must have asked correctly, Gu Zilong Bacheng was the "Yihui Dao", so he was said and hesitated to deny it. But everyone doesn't know what this "Yihui Dao" is, and it is estimated that it is also a gang of rivers and lakes, but in front of Gu Zilong, it is not good to ask Su Xiaotong carefully.

Su Xiaotong's face showed a look of disgust, and he stayed away from Gu Zilong.

Xiao Guo played a round and said: "Xiaotong, does your second uncle live in the big village?" Take us now, you're hungry. ”

"Okay."

Everyone got up, followed Su Xiaotong did not take the main road, bypassed an osmanthus forest, turned a corner, forked a path, and walked up the hill.

The so-called small road, in fact, is not a road, just a slightly gentle slope on the hillside, the child is familiar with geography, take everyone over the cliff, climb the slope and cross the stream, from the mountain to look down on the manor of Su Xiaotong's family below, only to see the laurel tree under the shade, it is still quiet, neither see anyone moving, nor cooking smoke and sound. Everyone waded through the grass, bypassed the cliff, grabbed the stone ridge and walked over a mountain beam, found a sheep intestine path on the mountain, bypassed the manor below, and came to the front of the big village behind.

This big village is not too big, from the hillside, there are about 200 households, also hidden in the osmanthus forest, the road in front of the small village, stretching over, all the way into the big village. Between the small village and the large village, there is a stream that crosses it, forming a natural dividing line.

"There are mountains and rivers, laurel trees everywhere, and the scenery is really good." Da Gang exclaimed.

"Of course," Su Xiaotong said proudly: "We have the best scenery here, and everyone says that it is where the immortals live, so the township group formed by my father is called the Immortal Association." ”

"Then why did it change to the Creation Society again?" Stone Lock asked.

"I don't know, anyway, Dad must have listened to Uncle Tan's words before he changed it, because of this, Uncle Tan and Ling Haibo quarreled a few more words."

In the big village, there are farmers walking around on the streets from time to time, some people's homes, cooking smoke rises from the roof, chickens and dogs bark in the streets and alleys, this kind of scene is the normal phenomenon that should be in the village, everyone has just experienced the strange and oppressive quiet in the small village, the crisis is full of tension, into this normal world, all feel comfortable, breathe a sigh of relief.

An old farmer, leading an old cow, walked slowly from the front, the old farmer had a cigarette pouch pot on his shoulder, his back was bent, his face was full of wrinkles, and his face was purple after years of wind and sun.

The little boy ran up and shouted, "Uncle Wu." ”

The old farmer wiped his eyes and asked in surprise, "Little boy?" What are you doing here? ”

"I'm coming to my second uncle."

The old farmer glanced up at Shi Suo and the others, and said to Su Xiaotong slowly: "Your second uncle's whole family has gone to the field, you go to my house first and wait for a while, and I will call them." ”

"Okay." Su Xiaotong nodded. Shi Suo came up and said to the old farmer, "Brother, don't tell people that the child is here. Su Xiaotong also said: "Yes, Uncle Wu, our family has suffered an accident, I escaped, you just quietly tell my second uncle, don't tell others." ”

"Really?" When the old farmer heard this, his face showed an anxious look, "Change? What happened? Okay, okay, you wait, I'll go right away. He turned around, led everyone to the door of a farmer's house, tied the old ox to the big tree at the door, let the boy lead him into the courtyard, and then hurried out of the village.

The courtyard wall of the small courtyard is made of mountain stones, very short, you can see the fruit trees and vegetables in the courtyard from the outside, a furrow and a ridge, full of greenery, a fragrance of melons and fruits, float to the outside, walk into the courtyard, only feel refreshed.

An old lady with gray hair, greeting guests in the courtyard, treating people warmly in the countryside, and treating them as guests from afar, the old lady took the child's hand and said with some complaints: "Look at it, since your family moved out, there has been less contact, in fact, your second uncle is really a good person, why should you ...... Don't talk about that, you're going to eat with me today. Listening to the old lady's tone, it seems that Xiaotong's second uncle and Xiaotong's family still have something.

Next to the firewood shed against the wall, there were two leafy laurel trees, everyone sat under the trees, and Shi Suo asked the little boy: "Are your father's immortals in the small village?" Is there any here? ”

"No," Xiao Tong shook his head, "Originally, many people in the big village joined the Immortal Society, also known as the Township Group, to protect the village against bandits, and later, Dad and Second Uncle ...... After the quarrel, we moved out to live, and the people in the big village also quit the fairy society, and only a few families were left, and they moved to the small village with us. ”

"That's not right," Shi Suo remembered that in Luojiazhuang and Wuchang, the Immortal Guild congregation he encountered was often one or two hundred people, and most of them were fierce and domineering, which did not match Xiao Tong's description. He asked, "What about Fan Ye and Lao Bai?" It seems that there are quite a lot of people in the Immortal Society, but who are those people? ”

"Uncle Bai and they moved in with their father, and Uncle Fan is an outsider who came to my father. As for Fu Heizi, it was Ling Haibo's subordinates, and Ling Haibo brought more than 200 people to join us and join the Immortal Society. Now that I think about it, what kind of defection, they simply want to occupy the territory here and turn Osmanthus Villa into their own. The boy said, his tone becoming more and more angry.

There was a sound of footsteps, and several peasants came in from the door, led by a middle-aged man, with a strong and sturdy figure, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, his face was dark, and the little boy greeted him and shouted, "Second uncle." "The circles under my eyes turned red first.

The peasant took Xiao Tong's hand, put down the hoe, and nodded to Shi Suo and the others: "My name is Su Shichang." ”

The peasants, who seemed to be very enthusiastic and simple, sat under the tree with Shi Suo and others, and the benches were not enough, so everyone sat on the ground, Su Shichang anxiously asked Xiao Tong, "What happened?" ”

When the child saw his relatives, his tears couldn't help but fall straight down like a pearl with a broken thread, and he was caught by an unknown person after returning to the village, and said hastily, "Second uncle, my father must have been poisoned by them, you should think of a way to save them."
