28, strange mother and son

It is certainly good to have a place to stay. It's much safer and more comfortable than living in a tent outside.

Again, when they came to Jiang Ping and others, they also needed to find someone to inquire.

The two parties met and exchanged, and Mao Yuanliang handed them some food in the middle, which caused the green light in the eyes of those people to bubble up, and he also set up a lot of information.

For example, the place where they live is the only village on Hongyang Peak, called Hongyang Village. The people of the village have lived here for generations, and the people are simple.

Because it is guarded by a phantom bridge on one side, and mutated plants on the other side, a group of people are here, unable to get out, and the people in the village have not eaten meat for a long time. You have to be careful to save some food.

It's no wonder that when they look at the food in Mao Yuanliang's hands, their eyes glow green and they salivate.

Xia Zhi, who was brushing his hair on the other side, always felt that their eyes were not quite right, but he couldn't say it. I tried to perceive it, but I found that I was inexplicably restrained.

Xia Zhi quietly retreated into the crowd and quietly reminded the others, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.

For Xia Zhi's reminder, adhering to the principle that it is better to believe it than not. On the surface, everyone greeted each other with a smile, but secretly they all stretched a string.

Hongyang Village is not far from the Phantom Bridge, five or six kilometers away.

With the help of the fire, under the leadership of Zisang Gaojie (the leader of Hongyang Village), everyone walked through the barren land, through a thorn, and finally relied on ropes to climb the rock, and finally arrived at the destination - Hongyang Village.

Hongyang Village is blessed with a unique foundation and is built on the only flat land at the top of Hongyang Peak. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, easy to descend the mountain, and difficult to go up the mountain.

To survive by the mountains, it is also the gain, and it is also the loss. It is precisely because of this that after the end of the world, the people in the village are trapped by the mutated animals and plants around them, and they cannot go down the mountain, so they can only live in a corner.

The houses in Hongyang Village are built towards the sun, unlike the houses under the mountain, most of the houses in Xiangyang Village are connected together with pavilions and pavilions built the day after tomorrow.

I saw the amazing appearance of a "hillbilly" from outsiders. There was a mockery in the eyes of the villagers - this group of people had no idea how painful it was to be trapped here!

If the villagers were proud of it before the end of the world, and made money from tourists who came to visit it, then after the end of the world, they hated it.

"You live there. The single-family house in the southeast is not allowed for you outsiders to enter without our permission! Zisang Gaojie allocated a place for everyone, and reminded him loudly.

After that, he led his subordinates on behalf of the villagers, dispersed the others who came to see the excitement, said hello and left.

Inside the house.

After this period of fatigue, everyone was so tired that they wanted to lie down immediately. Where do you pay attention to listen to each other's words, get your own room, tasks, and fall asleep.

The first night in Hongyang Village was spent so peacefully.

Early the next morning.

Xia Zhi, as usual, after cultivating, took a walk outside with Qi in his arms, and by the way, learned about the customs of Hongyang Village, as well as the surrounding terrain.

If they don't find out about it, they need to leave as soon as possible and explore somewhere else.

Unconsciously, Xia Zhi walked away with Qi.

Because it was late last night, by the light of the fire, the range that could be seen was not large.

Accidentally walked away, Xia Zhi, who was a little disoriented, was not in a hurry, and walked leisurely in the jungle.

Suddenly, I vaguely saw a small house in the woods not far away, with clean clothes hanging in front of the house. It shows that there are people living here.

How can it be inhabited? Do the people of Hongyang Village know? Why live alone outside? Not worried about security?

Xia Zhi thought as he walked in the direction of the house. While walking, he didn't forget to throw away the credit account and buy a purple bamboo, put it into the fluffy limbs, and signaled it not to make a sound.

"Naa. Hmm~" Qi was holding Zizhu, which was half his body tall, and his small front paws wanted to hug Xia Zhi's neck. As a result, he found that his claws were too short, so he hugged Zizhu instead, rubbed his head against her collarbone, and screamed coquettishly twice. Then I concentrated on gnawing on the bamboo.

Xia Zhi had no choice but to hold his forehead, why did he forget what Qi did before he loved to be a coquette?

I don't know if the people in the house heard the movement here. I hope not.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

The immature and crisp voice broke Xia Zhi's luck psychology.

With the action of stroking Qi, the goosebumps that came out of his hands were suppressed. Xia Zhi then looked in the direction where the voice came from.

"Sister, what kind of animal are you holding? So cute! Can I touch it? ”

Looking at the innocent face of the little boy in front of her, Xia Zhi hesitated, half-squatted down, and said in a soft tone: "You can ask if it is willing to touch you." It's called Odd. ”

"Little Kiki, can I touch you?" After listening to Xia Zhi's words, the boy opened his big round eyes, glanced at Qi, and asked seriously.

"Na~" Since he started eating "stones", Qi's IQ has been getting higher and higher.

Faced with the request of the same cute little boy on the other side, he let out a milky "na" and agreed, but he could only touch it~

"It agreed, but only for a moment." Xia Zhi translated Qi seriously, and when the boy carefully stroked Qi, he opened his mouth as if chatting, "What's your name?" Do you want to stay here? ”

"Yes, sister. My name is Zi Sangyang, and my mother and I have always lived here~"

Zi Sangyang obediently stretched out his hand back, his eyes were shining, and there was a hint of reluctance.

"Yangyang, can I call you that?" As he spoke, Xia Zhi pretended to take out some candy from his pocket and handed it to the cute and loving Zi Sangyang in front of him.

The boy didn't know where he had gone before, so he had some mud on his body, he rubbed his hands on the corners of his clothes a few times, and looked at Xia Zhi with watery eyes several times before he took it under her signal.

"Yes, I like it. But my mother rarely calls me that, and usually calls me Xiaoxiaoyang. ”

The boy is so well-behaved that Xia Zhi will answer every question, and he likes to stare at people with his big watery eyes, like a furry little animal.

"Yangyang, why don't you live with the villagers over there? It's not safe for two people to live here. ”

"Because my mother doesn't like it. She didn't like me going over there. However......" Zi Sangyang tried hard to think about the reason, and his little head tilted, as if he thought of something.

At that moment, a quick, slightly shrill voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Zi Sangyang! Didn't Mom say that? Don't run around, are you going to play over there again? Don't let mom worry, okay?! ”

Zi Sangyang was suddenly frightened and took a small step back. Realizing that it was my mother who found me, he took a big step forward and retorted seriously: "But Mom, I'm not afraid." You know, I have ......."

"What do you have! Come back with me! At this time, Zi Sangyang's mother, a stout woman with fair skin but a little old appearance of about one meter six and five, had already approached and found Xia Zhi next to Zi Sangyang.

"Who are you?" The woman hurriedly ran over, took Zi Sangyang's hand, and gave him a look to go back and clean up again, and stared at Xia Zhi quite fiercely. Like a she-wolf guarding her cubs.

"Xia Zhi. I just went up the mountain last night and stayed in the village there for two days. Came here by chance. Xia Zhi explained the reason, hoping to lower the other party's vigilance.

"Oh." The woman responded indifferently, and pulled Zi Sangyang away without resistance.

After getting out of a distance, she began to educate Zi Sangyang for another round. Then, Zi Sangyang seemed to give her something, and then said something.

It's been a while since they came out, Xia Zhimu sent them a distance, and turned around to find the way back to Hongyang Village.

At this time, the two people who were walking away stopped and shouted at her: "Xia Zhi! ”

Seeing Xia Zhi stop and look at them suspiciously, the woman asked Zi Sangyang to wait there, sat down quickly, and left a sentence: "You'd better leave as soon as possible." The beasts have more feelings than they do" and left. I didn't even have any intention of leaving a name.

Just thank her for the candy she gave Xiao Xiaoyang. The woman thought to herself.

It was Zi Sangyang, who smiled sweetly at Xia Zhi, and said goodbye without pronouncing it.

On the way back, Xia Zhi thought for a moment.

Zi Sang ...... Yang, apparently the surname in Hongyang Village. Did you move out later? He seemed to have some special ability, which was why his mother was in a hurry to interrupt him.

Also, he seemed to know something, but unfortunately he was interrupted by his mother. It seems that it is necessary to find an opportunity to communicate with Yangyang again.

Finally, there is Hongyang Village, which is obviously problematic. Yangyang's mother's last look always felt full of pity? Abhor? Looks like we'll have to leave as soon as possible.

Xia Zhi thought silently in his heart.

The journey back took nearly half the time than it had been. As a blessing in disguise, Xia Zhi has a better understanding of the surrounding terrain and road sections.

As soon as he approached Hongyang Village, the villagers came to inspect.

After several inquiries, she was released.

Their eyes are so weird, like ...... It's like staring at its prey, but it's a little different.

This made Xia Zhi even more determined to leave as soon as possible.

"Xia Zhi! I didn't see you early in the morning, where did you go? One of your two men is a stuffy gourd, and one has a tight mouth like something, and he doesn't say anything. ”

From afar, Qin Ji, who was wandering at the entrance of the village, saw Xia Zhi who was being investigated, and when she just entered the village, she ran over to say hello.

"Qin ...... Big brother, I didn't do anything, just walked outside. Xia Zhi thought for a moment, and decided to tell Qin Ji about his guess first.

His eyes signaled that Qin Ji had something to say, just what he meant. The two hit it off and picked a hidden place.

"Sister smash, what are you, what did you find?"

Last night, Xia Zhi reminded them to pay more attention, they had something to say after going out for a walk this morning, and they had to avoid the people in the village. One look at it is that something is wrong.

Xia Zhi didn't talk nonsense politely, and immediately told his guesses and discoveries. Of course, there was certainly no mention of his special induction.

Qin Ji pondered for a moment before speaking: "Sister, my brother knows that you are powerful, and he also knows that you are kind-hearted. But you remember, people's hearts are unpredictable, and take care of yourself at critical times.

If you can, you can ask around, but you don't have to expose yourself, what if it's dangerous? We don't have other skills, but we still have the ability to escape.

Wang Ma's side, brother went and said, don't interfere. ”

Qin Ji's sincere words made Xia Zhi's heart warm. The original polite salutation was also shouted smoothly.

In the Phantom Bridge, Xia Zhi's behavior seemed to Qin Ji to be just vigilant. But after that, her series of behaviors, especially this reminder again and again, made Qin Ji feel that she was a kind-hearted, or soft-hearted person who was easy to be bullied. That's why I gave this advice.

"I know. Brother Qin, that phantom bridge, if you have a chance, you should go again, it will be beneficial to you. ”

This sentence was originally intended to be said to Qin Ji, the original intention of the Phantom Bridge was to provide people with such talents in the world to experience and learn.

Qin Ji is talented, as long as he proves that his character is okay later, Xia Zhi will tell him, but it will be none of her business whether he believes it or not.

And now, she really hopes that Qin Ji can go again.

Where can't Xia Zhi's sincerity Qin Ji see? The phantom bridge suddenly showed its name, how could he not guess that such an old fritter had something to do with her? Now it's even more confirmed.

Now I was even more worried about her. Too kind and soft-hearted. I'm really afraid that I will be sold and lose money, and in the end, I will praise people for their kindness. I can only stare more when I am there.
