Cheng Xiaohu rode a wind-chasing horse and walked forward slowly, looking leisurely on the surface, but in his heart he was already overturned.

In less than a month, he actually encountered a magic weapon that moved the Three Realms: the Demon Binding Rope, and it was in a situation where he could easily obtain it as long as he wanted to.

However, in the end, Cheng Xiaohu still did not choose to snatch the demon rope.

Although he knew that as long as he could get the Demon Binding Rope, his strength would definitely be able to rise a lot, and he would never be at the bottom of the elite competition of the Tang Dynasty Mansion again.

But he is frank, and he grew up in the Tang Dynasty Mansion, since he was a child, he has been influenced by the rich atmosphere of serving the country and the people and doing chivalrous righteousness in the Tang Dynasty Mansion, so although he is not very old, he will never do such a moral thing as harming others and benefiting himself.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to snatch the demon rope in order to improve his strength. Although he felt a little pity in his heart, he did not regret it.

And since the Demon Binding Rope is in the hands of the red clothes, then she is very likely to have some kind of connection with the Swordsman, the Swordsman is the most respected person in their Tang Dynasty Mansion, and he is the idol of his life, so it is naturally impossible for him to snatch the Demon Binding Rope.

After riding a wind-chasing horse for a few miles, it was already getting dusk, and Cheng Xiaohu couldn't help but feel worried, because he found that there seemed to be no place to live near this trail.

"Huh?" Cheng Xiaohu's heart suddenly flashed a throbbing, and he looked at the woods next to him, as if something was calling him.

"What's wrong with me!?" Cheng Xiaohu shook his head and said.

But soon he was stunned, for he saw a few wisps of smoke rising from the sky behind the woods.

Cheng Xiaohu was immediately overjoyed, since there was cooking smoke, it meant that there must be people living behind the woods, Cheng Xiaohu hurriedly pulled the wind chasing horse and walked towards the place where the cooking smoke rose, preparing to go there for a night.

Through the thick woods, there is a field of cultivated land and open meadows, and in the middle there is a path that leads to the valley behind, from which the smoke rises.

Cheng Xiaohu walked along the path into the valley, and there was indeed a hole in the valley. I saw that in the valley, a stone village fell from the mountain.

The stone village is not big, there are probably only dozens of households, the stone wall of the stone village is low, there is a stone plaque on the gate of the wall, and there are three big red characters on the book: "Mountain Village!" The door under the stone plaque was wide open, and several children were playing, and the children laughed from time to time, and drifted far away with the smoke of the cooking, while several women were picking rice in the open space next to them.

Cheng Xiaohu led the horse and walked over slowly, looking at everyone: "Aunts and aunts, I am Cheng Xiaohu, a disciple of the Tang Dynasty Mansion, I was ordered by my master to go to Jianye City to deliver a letter, passing through here, seeing that it was getting late but still not finding a place to live, so I bothered so far, and I also asked the aunts and aunts to be able to take me in for one night!"

Seeing that he had an extraordinary bearing, all the women had a sense of arrogance between their eyebrows, not like a sinister person, and they muttered for a while, and said, "We have no problem, but you still need to ask for the consent of the owner of the village!"

"Then I don't know where the owner is?" Cheng Xiaohu bowed slightly and asked politely.

"The owner of the village went out at noon today! But look at this hour, come back quickly, you can sit next to you and wait for a while! ”

"Well, then thank you aunts and aunts!"

Cheng Xiaohu first led the wind-chasing horse to the grass next to him, loosened the horse's rope, and let it find some grass to eat. Then he went under the stone wall and sat down against it.

The wind chasing horse is extremely handsome, with cold eyes, dark red mane, round waist and back, and big round hooves.

"Big brother, can we touch your horse?" One of the children asked timidly.

Cheng Xiaohu smiled slightly and said, "Of course you can!"

When the children got Cheng Xiaohu's permission, they were immediately overjoyed, and a small hand kept touching the wind chasing the horse.

The chasing horses didn't mind, they let them touch it at will, just lowered their heads to eat grass, and occasionally raised their heads to eat a bite of the grass fed by the children, which made several children happy for a while, and laughter came out from time to time.

Cheng Xiaohu took off the dog tail grass next to him, held it in his mouth casually, and looked up, but saw that the cooking smoke was ethereal in front of him, the sun was setting on the mountain, and a faint afterglow was sprinkled, like a layer of dark red tulle, scattered throughout the mountain with the cooking smoke.

Cheng Xiaohu was in a trance for a moment, he seemed to have seen this scene, but he couldn't remember when he saw it.

It seems like 10 years ago, it feels like 20 years ago...... Even fifty years ago.

Cheng Xiaohu couldn't tell why he felt this way, but after he arrived here, his heart was unprecedentedly calm, as if no matter how much pride he had, he would be calmed down.

After a few children touched the wind chasing horse for a long time, the novelty gradually subsided, and gradually gathered around Cheng Xiaohu, asking him all kinds of questions, and after learning that he was from the Tang Dynasty Mansion in Chang'an City, they asked him again and again.

Cheng Xiaohu was rarely patient, and in the face of all kinds of questions they asked, he gave them detailed answers one by one, and occasionally told some strange things about cultivation, and the children all gathered around Cheng Xiaohu, listening to it fascinated, and they didn't dare to gasp.

Time passed minute by minute, the sunset on the mountain had completely sunk, the night was shrouded, and the lights in the mountain village were gradually lit up.

"Sister, they're back!" Next to Cheng Xiaohu, a child named Stone suddenly shouted.

Everyone followed them, and in the hazy night, the group slowly walked back.

When the people in the stockade saw this, they all quickly ran over and gathered around the pedestrian to ask questions.

"How's it going?" Stone's mother, Aunt Liu, asked with concern.

When Shi Shan heard this, he looked at the owner of the village who was surrounded by a group of children next to him, sighed and said: It's hard to say! But it's finally saved! ”

After everyone heard Shi Shan's words, they were all relieved and happy.

"Sister, did you meet any bad people today?" Many children surrounded the woman and asked questions.

When the owner of the village heard this, he bit his red lips lightly and said, "I haven't met a bad guy, but I have met a disciple!"

"That's right, the owner of the village! Today, a young man came to the village, saying that he was going to Jianye City, but now it is getting late, and there is no other place to go nearby except us, so he wants to spend the night with us! Aunt Liu said to the woman.

The owner of the village frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "Where is that person?"

"There!" Aunt Liu pointed to Cheng Xiaohu under the stone wall.

The night was hazy, and the owner of the village couldn't see the person's face clearly, but he saw that the figure was indeed a young man, so he shouted: "Do you want to spend the night?"

When the man heard the words of the owner of the village, he was silent.

Seeing that the man was silent, the owner of the village said in his heart: This person doesn't know how to be polite, so he walked over and said, "Ask ...... you"

The owner of the village couldn't say anything more halfway through his words, and when she got closer, she saw the appearance of the young man clearly.

That young man is not the same disciple she said just now.

"What a coincidence!" Cheng Xiaohu smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he recognized her when he heard Hongyi speak, so when Hongyi asked him just now, he didn't know how to answer.

The red clothes were like frost and snow in an instant, and said coldly: "Why are you!"

Cheng Xiaohu snorted and said, "I didn't expect that the owner of this village would be you!"

When the red cloth heard this, his face was full of anger, and he said angrily: "You go!" You're not welcome here! ”

Cheng Xiaohu looked at the darkness around him, frowned slightly, and said, "It's so late, where are you letting me go?"

"That's none of my business!" The red cloth snorted angrily, and then turned to the people behind him: "Enter the village!"

In the crowd behind, except for a few, everyone else didn't understand why the red clothes suddenly changed their faces.

"Owner of the village, he ......" Shi Shan was just about to speak for Cheng Xiaohu, but he was glared back by the cold gaze of the red cloth.

"Close the door!" After the red clothes walked into the stockade, they shouted directly.

After a "crunch", the door closed tightly.

Cheng Xiaohu touched his nose and couldn't help but feel helpless, but seeing that it was already dark all around, he really had nowhere else to go, so he sat down next to the stone wall and prepared to spend the night here.

Cheng Xiaohu leaned against the stone wall and continued to look up at the night sky.

But when I saw the bright moon in the sky, the sky was full of stars.

I was at a loss for no reason, it has been more than 20 days since I came out, and he really misses the Tang Dynasty Mansion a little.

"I don't know how the master and sister are doing......"

I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden soft sound at the gate next to it, and two figures walked out of the village.

"Cheng Shaoxia, the owner of the village asked us to bring you something to eat!" Shi Shan handed the bowl full of food in his hand to Cheng Xiaohudao.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi!" Cheng Xiaohu was already exhausted after a day's journey, and now when he saw that food was delivered, he couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in his heart.

At the same time, I also know a little more about the red clothes in my heart, and the girl in my heart is not as unkind as she seems.

"Where, we have to thank you! Instead of blaming you for doing that to you this afternoon, you took the initiative to give us the silver two pills! Shi Shan said that he suddenly pulled the stone on the side and knelt down towards Cheng Xiaohu, kowtowed: "You are almost the one who saved our entire village, your great kindness, we really don't know how to repay it, please accept our father and son!"

Cheng Xiaohu was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Shi Shan and Cheng Xiaohu up, and said, "Uncle Shi, hurry up, this is a bit serious!"

Shi Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Cheng Shaoxia, you don't know the situation of our mountain village!"

Cheng Xiaohu put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said seriously: "What happened to Guizhai?"

Hearing this, Shi Shan said with a wry smile: "Our mountain village has been established for decades, and in the past few decades, we have lived here for several generations, although we are not rich but our lives are relatively stable, but I don't know why." Since last month, strange things have started to happen in the village......"
