Lingyan Village was really very close, Huang Xue and Long Xuhu walked around a small forest in front of them, and after walking for less than a cup of tea, they saw a building standing faintly in the night in the distance.

Looking closer, the style of this building is a little different from what I saw on the sea before, some of it is like a combination of the two architectural styles before, the shape is still round, but the height is already nearly three zhang, and under the eaves, a row of small windows is opened, it does not look like a tomb bag, but a bit like a bunker.

Around the village, there was a wall about a foot high, and in the middle of it was a gate open to their place, and under the door there were a dozen figures, as if they were waiting for them.

Huang Xue was a little apprehensive in her heart, pulled the dragon beard tiger to stand two feet in front of the gate, raised her eyes, and finally saw the legendary Shenmu clan and Nie Er clan.

Sure enough, as Wu Yao said, the people of the deep-eyed clan have deep eye sockets, and at first glance, they can't see their eyes at all, which makes people feel a little inexplicably weird. And the people of the Nie Er tribe have ears as big as a fan, and they are supported on both sides of the head, and at first glance, it seems that two small heads have been born on both sides of the head, how uncoordinated and uncoordinated.

Among the dozen or so people in front of them, the Shenmu Clan and the Nie Er Clan each accounted for half, and they all looked at them vigilantly. The five or six people in the front were all holding a large three-foot-long slingshot at this time, and they opened it to aim at them. This big slingshot can shoot a fist-sized stone projectile a mile away, but I'm afraid it's not ordinary.

Seeing the two approaching, two middle-aged people in their forties walked out of the crowd, a man and a woman, the male was from the Nie Er clan, and the female was from the Shenmu clan.

The two stood still, and the Nie Er man said to Huang Xue, "The girl is from the western continent?"

Huang Xue hurriedly replied: "Exactly, little woman Huang Xue, this is my friend Long Xuhu, I don't know if you are the village chief of this Lingyan Village?"

The man nodded and said, "That's right, my name is Takayanagi, this is my wife Eye Tao, and this village was indeed built by our husband and wife." Since the girl is from the western continent, why did she come to our Lingyan Island?"

Huang Xue saw that this Gao Liu spoke well and was a reasonable person, so she didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I've seen the virtuous couple." To tell the truth, the little woman was shipwrecked at sea, and inadvertently drifted to the sea in the east, in order to go home, she traveled all the way west, but was chased and killed by the water tiger, and she ended up here. The little woman is not a wicked person, and she asks the virtuous couple to forgive the little woman for her trespass on your island. ”

Gao Liu and Jing Tao listened to Huang Xue's speech in a clear and polite manner, and they both secretly had a good feeling, and Jing Tao said: "Huang girl, the water tiger has always been unharmful, why would you chase and kill you? We husbands and wives are not unreasonable people, and if the girl is indeed not a wicked person, we will naturally not embarrass the girl. ”

Huang Xue organized the wording and said: "The little girl was in the territory of the Diren Country before, but fortunately, there was no general in the Diren Country to help her and escort the little woman all the way west. didn't want to pass by the territory of the Water Tiger Country, but General Wu was mistaken for a strange fish by the Water Tiger and wanted to kill him. The little woman chased to Shuihu Island, and only then did she rescue General Wu with the help of the dragon bearded tiger mother and son on Shuihu Island, so she was chased and killed by Shuihu. As for the dragon-bearded tiger, he promised his mother that she would take him to the East China Sea to find his father. What the little woman said is true, and she also asks the virtuous couple to learn from it. ”

After all, she still concealed the killing of the second son of Water Tiger Island, and now that her fate hangs in the balance, she still has to be careful.

Hearing this, Jing Tao glanced at her husband, and Gao Liu nodded and said, "Her heartbeat and pulse are not abnormal, she shouldn't be lying." ”

Huang Xue was taken aback suddenly, she didn't expect that this person from the Nie Er clan was still a personal flesh polygraph. As soon as his words fell, the rest of the people around him also relaxed significantly, and the few people in the front row had already put away their big slingshots.

Gao Liu was surprised when he saw Huang Xue, and said with a faint smile: "Miss Huang, don't mind, after all, Gao is in danger of being a villager, and it is inevitable to be cautious." If Miss Huang doesn't dislike it, she can come into the village to make up for the fright she was subjected to. ”

Huang Xue wanted to find someone to find out the relationship between Qingshui Hu and this island, and when she heard this, she was immediately overjoyed: "Then it will disturb the virtuous couple." ”

Unexpectedly, Takayanagi said again: "But this dragon bearded tiger, please don't get close to us, after all, it's the body of a beast, and please don't blame the girl." ”

Huang Xue was stunned when she heard this, and looked towards the dragon bearded tiger. But seeing that the dragon bearded tiger was very aggrieved at this time, he hugged the six mud lumps wrapped in "rich chickens" like a baby, and muttered: "You don't like me, I just don't go in, who rarely enters your broken village." Huang Xue, you can go in by yourself, I'll eat my roast chicken here. ”

Huang Xue suddenly couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said to Gao Liu: "Mr. Gao, this dragon bearded tiger is innocent and romantic, and his IQ is like that of a child, and he will not hurt people, can you please be accommodating?"

Takayanagi frowned, but stopped talking.

Huang Xue knew that Gao Liu was still not worried about the dragon beard tiger at this time, and remembered in her heart what she said to the tiger aunt "Regard the dragon beard tiger as her own brother", and now she went into the village to rest, but she wanted to let the dragon beard tiger spend the night in this barren place alone, how could she feel a little sorry for him.

So, he spoke again: "Mr. Gao, I regard the dragon and the tiger as my relatives, since Mr. has scruples, I won't go in, just rest in this wilderness." Tomorrow during the day, I will also ask the virtuous couple to go out of the village to talk about it, and the little woman still has some things to ask. ”

Long Xuhu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Huang Xue, aren't you going in too?" That's great, with you by your side, it won't be boring." ”

Gao Liu frowned and said, "Miss Huang, it may not be safe outside the village, if the girl stays outside, it may be dangerous tomorrow." ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she was even more worried about the dragon beard tiger, and resolutely said: "Since there is danger, I can't abandon the dragon beard tiger anymore." The little woman understood the good intentions of the gentleman. ”

Hearing this, Takayanagi sighed and stopped talking, and seemed to have some contradictions in his heart.

Seeing that the scene was embarrassed, his wife suddenly smiled and said: "My father-in-law is too careful after all, the water tiger has never hurt people, I think this dragon beard tiger has no scheming, and there is a yellow girl with him, what can be wrong?" However, Miss Huang still had to pay attention at night, so as not to let him run around and frighten the children in the village. ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and looked at Gao Liu, but saw that Gao Liu glanced at his wife, nodded reluctantly, but didn't say much. She hurriedly thanked: "In that case, thank you for the shelter of the idle couple." ”

Long Xuhu actually wanted to enter the village very much, and when he saw that the other party was willing to let him in, he was also overjoyed: "Did you let me in? That's great, you are good people, I invite you to eat my roast chicken." As he spoke, he took three of the lumps in his arms and handed them to the two of them, thought about it, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, so he secretly took back another one.

Everyone naturally saw the action of the dragon beard tiger, and they couldn't help but laugh dumbly, Gao Liu seemed to let go of his thoughts, and said to Huang Xue: "Two, please inside." ”

Huang Xue hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: "It's better to invite the virtuous couple first." ”

As everyone entered Lingyan Village, Huang Xue saw many residents in the village, all of whom were from the Shenmu clan and the Nie Er clan, and the villagers saw Huang Xue and Long Xuhu, all of them showed curious eyes, but fortunately, they were accompanied by Gao Liu and Jingtao, but they did not show any hostility.

Long Xuhu is a person who is crazy, and when he saw so many people looking around him, he didn't even show contempt, and he was suddenly a little happy, and greeted the people around him enthusiastically from time to time, which made the residents a little stunned.

Everyone came to a large stone house in the middle of the village, which was supposed to be the residence of Gao Liu and Jing Tao, Jing Tao asked people to get some wine and food, and invited Huang Xue and Long Xuhu to sit down, and the rest of the villagers dispersed on their own, except for the two young Shenmu and Nie Er, who remained.

According to the two of them, these two are their sons, the deep-eyed people are called Gao Ming, and the Nie Er people are called Gao Jue, a brother, not only are they of different races, but they are not similar in appearance, which is quite unusual.

The dragon beard and tiger knocked open the mud lump he was holding like a treasure, and the house was suddenly full of meat, which made Gao and Jing also moved. Eye Tao took a wooden plate, filled the chicken and shared it with everyone, and after a while, he had already let go of eating, drinking, and laughing. From the conversation between the two, Huang Xue learned that this Gao Yanagi and Eye Tao are not extraordinary.

Gao Liu was originally the third prince of Nie Er Kingdom, and Jing Tao was the eldest princess of Shenmu Kingdom, as for why the two established a village here, it has something to do with the war and chaos on this Lingyan Island over the years.

This Lingyan Island has been inhabited by the Shenmu people and the Nie Er people since ancient times, and the two ethnic groups are both peace-loving races, so since ancient times, the relationship between the two countries has also been very harmonious, and the people's lives are also solid.

I never thought that there were unforeseen circumstances, but about ten years ago, a war broke out between the two countries for some unknown reasons, and this war lasted for more than ten years and has not ended. War will kill people, this dead man, the national hatred will become a family hatred, the contradiction between the two races is becoming more and more intensified, as the war gets longer and longer, the Shenmu clan and the Nie Er clan finally became mortal enemies.

At this time, there is one kind of person who suffers, that is, the person who marries between the two races.

In fact, the two countries have never prohibited intermarriage, it is completely voluntary, and the attitude is very open. But there must still be a minority who are willing to intermarry, after all, the appearance of the Shenmu people and the Nie Er people are too different, the aesthetics are completely different, and the living habits are even more incompatible.

It is conceivable that such an intermarriage does not matter in peacetime, but because of the complementary abilities of the husband and wife, life is much more convenient than that of ordinary couples. But in times of war, they have become thorns in the side and flesh of ethnic groups, and they have been excluded by society to varying degrees, and many transnational couples have been forced to separate.

Gao Liu and Jing Tao are such people, as the royal family of the two countries, they are under pressure many times greater than ordinary people, but at that time, their sons Gao Ming and Gao Jue were born not long ago, and the two did not want to separate, so as soon as the two of them combined, they established a village in the middle of the two countries, which is the Lingyan Village in front of them.

Due to the special status of the two, the royal families of the two countries have acquiesced to the existence of this intermediate force, objectively speaking, this is actually a solution to some social problems in the two countries, therefore, the two countries have also consciously driven the intermarriage people to live here, and now over the years, the population of the village has exceeded 800 households, becoming a paradise outside the war.
