Xiao Qi likes this feeling very much, and can't help but sigh that the world is really good, mortals are really good, Li Jin understands Xiao Qi's thoughts, when she looks at the night of the world abnormally for the first time, she also feels like this.
It was also then that she understood that knowing everything is not necessarily the best, there is a task today, they can't do it, but from the moment she came out, Xiao Qi's mood seemed to be better, she instinctively took Li Jin's hand and leaned against her tightly and said, "Sister, we won't really encounter anything, right?" ”
Although Xiao Qi asked like this, but her tone could not hide her joy, Li Jin smiled slightly, Xiao Qi's mind is very similar to her, just a child, with child-like feelings, this is a good thing, if you are destined to face some things, it is always good to maintain an optimistic attitude.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong, with Xiao Qi here, they don't dare to make trouble." Li Jin said that he touched Xiao Qi's head.
Li Jin's hands are very light, and the movements are also gentle, Xiao Qi is very useful, she likes this feeling, it seems that such a thing happened in the deepest part of her memory, but those things have gradually faded away.
Xiao Qi glanced at Li Jin, her eyes were full of tenderness, from the moment she met Li Jin, Xiao Qi experienced what family affection is and what is home, this is what she should pursue.
The more she fell into this kind of feeling, the more Xiao Qi felt how meaningless the days of the past were, and she hoped that the scene at this moment could go on forever, "Where are we going to go sister." ”
Xiao Qi asked, this time it was just a problem, she really didn't know where to go. "Let's go up to the east end of the town first and see where the mountain is near."
Xiao Qi nodded and didn't say anything more, she understood what Li Jin meant, there are many monsters in the deep mountains, there may be something wrong there, the two didn't speak again, and walked quickly towards the east of the town, Xiao Qi held his breath and paid attention to everything around.
The topography of Longbow is east-west, with only one main road running through the middle of the town, and theoretically there is no essential difference between the east and west sides of the town.
As Li Jin said, the east end is closer to the mountain behind, and the chance of monsters appearing is relatively higher, but this is just Li Jin's idea, as for whether this is the case, they don't know.
Even they wondered if there were monsters in their hearts, after all, their conclusions were really a bit ridiculous, although Longbow Town was not a major town, the feng shui here was very good.
The popularity here is also very strong, and ordinary monsters don't dare to appear in this place, and the two from yesterday may just break in by chance, and there is nothing special about it.
Li Jin has been thinking about these problems in his heart, but he has never come to a satisfactory conclusion, so far they know very little, although the longbow is very long, Li Jin and the others are not mortals after all, and they will arrive soon.
Longbow Town is generally very rich, but it is inevitable that the more you go to both sides, the fewer people live here, although the residents here are more closely populated than the average village.
When he was about to arrive in town, Li Jin hadn't noticed anything abnormal, and subconsciously thought that today's trip was in vain, and at this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly grabbed her.
Li Jin stopped, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi glanced at her, pointed ahead, and followed the direction of Xiao Qi's finger, Li Jin saw two private houses, surrounded by a very low courtyard, which was already the last family.
Li Jin glanced at it and didn't find anything abnormal, but Xiao Qi must have a reason for stopping her, so the two of them hid their breath and quietly approached the courtyard.
Li Jin could see clearly that there were some vegetables planted in the yard, and there were some tools for working in the field at the door of the house, from which it was easy to see that this family should make a living from farming.
At least one-third of the population of Longbow Town is mainly engaged in farming, most of them are local residents, their ancestors have lived here for generations, they are not like those merchants, they live a good life, food and clothing are not worry-free.
They rarely have savings throughout the year, and naturally they don't have the capital to do business, but they are also happy to live such a life, working in the fields when the farm is busy, and staying at home when the farm is not working.
Many of them have never left this place for generations, and the farthest trip is to Kang County or Makuxian County and be satisfied, they are ordinary people, with no desires or worries.
Although they are a little helpless, on the whole, they are truly obedient to the destiny of heaven, and the development of Longbow Town is also very beneficial to them, at least they can take the surplus vegetables or poultry to those merchants to sell in exchange for some money.
Seeing so many outsiders every day, listening to them talk about some outside things is also very happy, if nothing accidents happen, their lives have passed like this, this is their life, whether others are used to seeing it or not, it has nothing to do with them.
Li Jin and the two walked in the corner of the wall and hidden, Li Jin and they had a good sense of hearing, and they were so close, it was easy for people to hear what the people inside said.
"Old man, I always feel that dogs are not the same as before." It was an old woman who said this, and as soon as the old woman had said a voice, she said again: "Well, I think something is different too, and it's a good thing." An old man's voice came out, and he coughed a few times.
When the old man finished coughing, the old woman spoke again, "I don't know if it's a good thing, after all, the child can come to see us, which shows that he is still very filial, but I always feel that it is different from the last time." ”
The old man smiled and said softly: "Old woman, don't say it, I always feel that I have returned to the way I was when I was a dog, and that feeling is so good." The old man seemed to be lost in thought.
Li Jinneng imagined that his expression must have been very happy, and then the woman laughed softly: "Who said it wasn't, think about it, it's been more than 20 years, time flies so fast." ”
"We must have thought too much, the dog is very filial, and the daughter-in-law is also very virtuous, what are we not satisfied with?"
"Where am I not satisfied, I just think they are more filial, you haven't seen my daughter-in-law talking to me like that today, her eyes are always looking at me, she is always smiling, she doesn't do anything, even if she is a daughter." The woman's voice was noticeably louder.
"It's just that we are too careful, although we are in the same town, after all, they are in the westernmost part, and it is good to come once every two days, isn't it still us who are more filial and happy?"
The woman sighed and said, "Yes, it's just that it came a little too suddenly, and I'm really not used to it." ”
"You're the one who suffers." The two laughed when they spoke, there was nothing wrong with these conversations, but it was different when combined with today's events.
From the conversation between the old couple, it can be heard that their son and daughter-in-law have suddenly become better, they live in the westernmost part of the town, if this thing is really done by the monsters, it means one thing, those monsters are from the west of the village, they should not have arrived here.
But if it weren't for why he would say something like that again, Li Jin hadn't figured it out yet, so Xiao Qi pulled her again and pointed to the sky in the north, Li Jin took advantage of the situation.
There was a burst of demon fog from the north, it seemed that they didn't want to alarm others, but there was no breath, and the demon fog soon came to the top of the courtyard, revealing two monsters from above, and one monster said: "It's all your fault, I know the news so late, and now there is only this one left." ”
The other youkai was obviously a little embarrassed and smiled, "Isn't there another one?" Besides, is it really useful for us to do this, why don't we just eat them, and we have to spend all this effort to collect any resentment. ”
Li Jin's heart moved when he heard this, it seemed that the information they got was true, and the monster before said: "What do you know, this can naturally greatly improve your cultivation, it is much stronger than eating a person, there will be no danger, and it will not cause panic, those immortals are not easy to mess with." ”
The monster in the back wanted to say something more, but was scolded by another, they jumped down the black fog and came to the courtyard, Li Jin and they were already hidden, and the monster naturally couldn't see them, but they could see the monster.
The two monsters had already been cultivated into human form, and they could not tell what kind they were from the outside, so they carefully landed in the courtyard and looked left and right, and tiptoed to the window.
Li Jin saw that they all had a burden on their backs, except that the color was different from the two yesterday, there was no difference between the others, and the moment he saw the burden, Li Jin was sure that what they had seen and analyzed so far was true.
The two monsters walked to the window, gently took out the baggage and put it on the window, and after a while, some black fog slowly floated out of the house and got into the baggage, and the two monsters were very excited when they saw the black fog, and almost made a sound.
When the monster took out the baggage, Xiao Qi was about to make a move, Li Jin stopped her, Li Jin knew what Xiao Qi meant, and was afraid that the two people in the house would be hurt.
However, from the dialogue of the monster, Li Jin has already heard that the monster does not mean to hurt the couple, first, Li Jin wants to know their specific methods, and secondly, it is also to verify it, after all, this matter is too weird.
Soon the two monsters were ready, picked up their baggage and prepared to leave, and one of them said, "Since we are here, why don't we eat them, isn't it useful?" ”
The other looked a little angry and said, "The things have been put away, and it is useless to eat them, and maybe they will cause trouble." ”
The previous monster nodded and said, "Since there is no more here, why don't we go to the county seat, aren't there more people there?" ”
"That's not good, the people there are useless, only the people here are useful at the moment." Later, the monster didn't say anything, and Xiao Qi was very worried about the people in the house.
At this moment, the voice of the old woman came from the room again: "My son's behavior is very normal, I really don't know what we are worried about." ”
"yes, it's a bit of a fuss to talk about such an ordinary thing." As they spoke, the lights in the room were turned off, and their attitudes changed significantly.
Now there is nothing to doubt, Li Jin originally wanted Xiao Qi to use his hands to catch the monster, but suddenly thought of one thing, those two monsters were killed by the black fog after they were caught yesterday, and it should be the same today, if you do it rashly, you won't get anything.
The two monsters flew up the black mist and flew towards the mountain again, and as soon as they left, Xiao Qi asked, "Sister, why don't you let me do it." ”
Li Jin shook his head and said, "You forgot about yesterday, it's useless to do something to them, it's better to keep them." Xiao Qi pondered slightly, and understood.
Yesterday, those two monsters died in front of her eyes, and when they were about to tell important news, it was because the owner of the black mist didn't want them to reveal a lot, so he killed them, and since that person had such a plan, even if he caught them, it would be useless.
"So what do we do?" Xiao Qi asked, Li Jin thought for a while and said: "Let's take a look around, maybe there will be any situation, and then go back to the inn to discuss with Li Yi and them, and then make plans, those two monsters should be in the mountains, and it is very easy to find them." ”
Xiao Qi smiled and nodded, Li Jin was right, it was really easy for Xiao Qi to find one within a radius of five hundred miles, as long as she shouted, those monsters would appear in front of her obediently.
Li Jin knew that she had such a ability to say this, so she would let the two monsters go, Xiao Qi couldn't help but think that Li Jin was different from her, she thought about everything very thoroughly, and her admiration for Li Jin in her heart increased again.
Li Jin and Xiao Qi made another round, but did not find anything suspicious, and as the inspection expanded, they also knew that what the two monsters said was not nonsense, and the entire people of Longbow Town had been sucked away by them.
Xiao Qi didn't have anything, Li Jin could clearly feel that the aura exuded by Longbow Town was the same as that of Rui Village, and even warmer than Rui Village, which was something worth paying attention to, and the two of them didn't find any traces of monsters, so they began to walk back.
At this moment, everything is normal back and forth to the inn, it is already late at night, and there is no one in the hall of the inn, but Li Yi and they don't dare to relax for a moment, for fear that they will miss something.
Ho Tian sat in front of the door, staring at the door without blinking, Li Yan went up and down the stairs to inspect back and forth, in short, everyone was highly vigilant, and when Li Jin came back, they dared to relax for a moment, Li Jin told all the situation.
After Li Jingang finished speaking, Li Yan said: "How can you let them go, they are arrested and have everything in the first trial." Qiu Li and Ho Tian also looked at Li Jin, and they seemed to agree with Li Yan's question.
Li Jin said: "Have you forgotten what happened yesterday, the black fog will not give them a chance to speak." Li Yan was stunned for a moment and understood, Li Jin's guess was likely to be correct.
If that's really the case, it's not a good idea to catch them, not only will you not get what you want, but you will also startle the snake, Qiu Li nodded and looked at Li Yi and asked, "What should we do now." ”
Li Yi lowered his head and muttered for a moment and said, "We still don't move, the master hasn't replied yet, it must be an investigation, it's better for us to wait for the results." The crowd was speechless for a moment.
Li Yi said that he glanced at everyone, and from everyone's expressions, Li Yi could see that everyone had something on their minds, and it was also a normal thing, what was happening in Longbow Town at the moment was very clear, and their guesses were all true, this is a fact.
What they know is just a fact, but it's not simple, and this fact can cause a lot of problems, whatever the problem is, it's enough to give them a headache, and this fact alone is enough to give them a headache.
Li Yi coughed lightly and said, "What we know so far is only these things, and there has been no response from Master's side, so I choose to stay put, but we still have to gather what we know so far to see if we want to report it again." ”
Li Yan nodded and said, "I think I'm going to report again." As he spoke, he began to be impatient and said, "Master's old man is really unreliable, and he always drops the chain at the most critical time. ”
Li Yan put his hands on his waist after saying that, his appearance was very funny, everyone couldn't help laughing when they looked at him, Li Yan also realized everyone's reaction, and laughed along, Li Yan made this time, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
