Speaking of this strange thing, the old woman was still very cautious, looked outside, and confirmed that no one lowered her voice and leaned into Muyang's ear to explain.

"Let me tell you, this strange thing started a few months ago, and some of the poultry in our village always disappeared in the middle of the night. At the beginning, it was just one or two, we didn't find it, and then one day, the ducks of the old Li family in the east of the village disappeared overnight, except for the duck feathers, there was nothing left, the big guy looked for several days, and he didn't find any of them!"

When Mu Yang heard this, isn't this the purpose of his trip? Instead of being afraid, he became more and more interested, "Then did you find the reason later?"

"No, not only did we not find the reason, but every few days, a family's poultry was swept away, and the key thing was that there was no movement at all, so that now, there are no more poultry in our village, and since the last one disappeared, strange things have never happened again, and everyone no longer raises them. Everyone said that the poultry was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. ”

Muyang almost didn't complain, the poultry is gone, isn't that not going to happen again?

He touched his chin, squinted his eyes, and thought about the question, always feeling that something was wrong, if it was a beast, it shouldn't have moved at all, someone would definitely find out, or leave footprints or something.

If it's a stronger demon beast, then there's no need to eat poultry, right? If it's really a demon beast entering the village, why didn't it attack people?

It doesn't seem to make sense.

"And what about later, is there anything stranger going on?"

The old woman thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, after that, the big guys won't raise poultry anymore, and no strange things will happen, but everyone doesn't dare to go up the mountain anymore at night, so I stopped you just now." ”

Muyang finished drinking the porridge and said to the old woman with a smile: "Thank you, otherwise I would definitely rush up recklessly." ”

"Hey, it's okay, it's not easy to go out, but you have to be careful, you said that your family is really good, how can you rest assured that you can come out alone and come to such a remote place." But if you want to go to the Imperial City, it must not be easy at home, such a person in the village, but he has never seen the Imperial City in his life. ”

As she spoke, the old woman's eyes still had some expectations, and at this time, the old man came over with a basin of water and took a relatively new towel, "It's winter now, it's cold, you can wash it at night, it's estimated that you're tired of traveling, our small place is not so comfortable, but it's still okay to block the cold wind at night." ”

Muyang hurriedly got up and helped the old man take the basin over, and thanked him repeatedly: "The second old man is polite, don't be so troublesome, I'll just sleep." If you hadn't let me spend the night, I'd have been living in a cave tonight, hahaha. ”

The old woman stood up and said with a smile: "It's not too early, you hurry up and wash and rest, we won't bother you." ”

Then, the two supported each other and walked outside the house, Muyang suddenly felt that the backs of the two of them looked very warm, "Old man, do you live with the two of you?"

The old man turned around and smiled proudly: "Yes, just the two of us live here, we also have a son, with a daughter-in-law and grandson living in the city, they want us to move in too, but we still like this rural environment, we have lived for a lifetime, we are used to it, we are too lazy to go to the city, too noisy, annoying, hahaha." ”

Muyang smiled knowingly, and from the old man's tone, he could also hear it, where is he disgusted with the noise in the city, and he obviously doesn't want to trouble his son, maybe this is the love from his parents.

Mu Yang didn't say anything more, just smiled and watched the second elder leave the room.

This room is not big, except for an old wooden table, which is a creaky bed, but Muyang is still quite satisfied, and even lived in a cave, such an environment is nothing.

After Muyang locked the deadbolt, he took Xiaoxue out of the bamboo basket, "Little thing, I wronged you, someone was there just now, it's not good to let you come out, go to bed and sleep well." ”

In the past few days with Muyang, except for today's conditions in the bamboo basket, the rest of the time is basically sleeping in the open air, and finally I have a bed today, and I can lie down well.

Muyang watched Xiaoxue roll happily on the quilt, and also smiled, "When Ming'er goes to the imperial city, let's find a good inn, rest comfortably, and then do the task slowly and leisurely, but it is strange to say, is the poultry incident an exception in this village, or is it common in the entire Frost Country? It seems that we will have to investigate it well tomorrow." ”’

After Muyang washed up briefly, he also lay on the bed, Xiaoxue lay quietly beside Muyang, and she didn't make any more noise, probably knowing that Muyang was tired now.

Muyang was lying on the bed, with his hands on the back of his head, as if he had something on his mind.

Xiaoxue turned over and stood up, staring at Muyang's face, Muyang stroked its hair, and a bitterness suddenly surged up in her heart, "Xiaoxue, do you know? I was really moved when I saw my grandparents' happy appearance just now, but when I heard that they still had a son to worry about, I felt very inferior again." ”

Xiaoxue tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand Muyang's words, but she was trying to make a very serious appearance and be Muyang's listener.

"I, ah, in this world, there are no relatives at all, I am just a person, like an orphan, no parents, no brothers and sisters, nothing, I have always been alone. Seeing their family affection, I was really a little envious, alas, it was sour. ”

"However, then I joined the Falling Moon Valley, where I really found a sense of belonging, Lao Xue treated me like a father, although he was a little stricter, but I knew that he was all for my good, every time I was in danger, he was the first person to panic, speaking of which, I am still very grateful to him, without his teaching, I would not be where I am today. There are also Senior Brother Luo Chen and Senior Sister Ling Yao, they are like relatives to me, and they make me feel the warmth of home. ”

Muyang just said to herself, Xiaoxue didn't interrupt, she listened quietly, and she didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, concentrating.

"Actually, I went to the Falling Moon Valley completely for the people I liked, otherwise I wouldn't do a good business, what would I do on the sinful road of cultivation. Originally, I had a marriage contract with her, but you have to know, she is so powerful, I am not worthy of her. ”
