In the dark night, the lanterns hanging on the long poles are so dazzling. The entire Donglu village loomed in the red light.

Zhao Zixuan seemed to remember something, and ran back to the bedroom. And Zhang Xiaohu took Li Yichen and many maids to sit in the Ming Hall on the first floor, and a middle-aged maid he had never seen was humming a song with everyone, with a tactful melody and a moving singing voice! He listened in fascination.

Later, I learned that this middle-aged maid was one of the two maids who specialized in serving the goddess. The name is very simple, it's called Ali! Of course, Ah Li is called by the goddess, and the younger maids call her "Granny Ali", and it is not obvious from the appearance that this Granny Ali is already in her 80s, but it is said that this Granny Ali was raised by the goddess, so no one dares to guess the age of the goddess.

This Ali mother-in-law was very enthusiastic about Li Yichen, and after singing the song, she walked to her side with a smile on her face, and was reluctant to let go of her hand, which scared some young maids, is this still the usual strict Ali mother-in-law.

Granny Ali also took Li Yichen to the third floor, opened several of the libraries to her, and allowed her to flip through the books and materials inside, which recorded a lot of historical content. Li Yichen took a few ancient books and hid in his bedroom to read them all day. In addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Zixuan are more proud of their classmates, after all, it is extremely rare to gain the trust of Granny Ali.

For three days, the entire Donglu village fell into complete silence, and there was no one on the road.

Zhang Xiaohu has nothing to do these days, he made a small invention in his bedroom, he used the remaining paper in his backpack, made a set of playing cards, and soon taught the rules of playing cards to a few familiar maids, since then he can hear the sound of poker from his house all day long. As an expert in playing cards, Zhao Zixuan simply didn't go back to his bedroom for the past few days, and stayed in Zhang Xiaohu's house.

After playing for most of the day, several maids left, and only Zhang Xiaohu and Zhao Zixuan were left in the room, and the two were bored on the bed.

After lying down for a long time, Zhao Zixuan suddenly said: "Lao Zhang, do you say that we are eating and waiting for death now!" ”

"I didn't expect you to say that, I thought this was the life you wanted to live!" Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You don't have to get up early to go to school every day, you don't have to stay up late to do questions, and you don't have to memorize words!" There are no exams, isn't this all what you wanted before! ”

"In the past, I went to school every day, and I lived a day of two o'clock and one line, which was very boring! I like to read the kind of adventure, time-traveling novels, imagine myself as the protagonist, live an exciting adventure life every day, and feel that that is my life. But now it's crossed over and adventured, but it's completely different from what I imagined before. Zhao Zixuan looked out the window.

"What's different, I see you're in a lot of interest." Zhang Xiaohu said.

"It's different anywhere! You see, every time there is a problem, you must be the one who comes up with the solution, and it is Yichen who helps you, so I can only play the drum on the side, and then you don't want to ask me, am I too stupid! ”

Zhang Xiaohu didn't expect Zhao Zixuan, who had always been arrogant, to say this, and hurriedly explained: "What are you talking about! We've been good friends for many years, how can I think you're stupid, but you specialize in art, and your strengths are somewhere else. ”

Zhao Zixuan sat up excitedly and said, "Say it quickly!" Say it! What is my strength? ”

Zhang Xiaohu forced a smile and said, "Dancing around the fire is your forte, haha!" Zhao Zixuan rode on his body and said angrily: "Lao Zhang, I just found out now that you are really bad." The two of them joked for a while, and then they heard a dull horn sound outside the window. Woohoo" was particularly harsh in the darkness.

The two of them lay on the window and looked out, only to see that in the endless darkness, a little spark kept moving towards Donglu Village.

In Donglu Village, after the horn sounded, many adult men with short swords and torches rushed to the outside of the village.

Zhang Xiaohu picked up his meteor hammer, put the knife on his waist, and said quickly to Zhao Zixuan: "Old Zhao, there seems to be a situation outside, let's go out to help." ”

When they came to the first floor of the temple, they found that except for Granny Ali and Li Yichen, everyone else was standing at the door, praying with their hands folded.

Zhang Xiaohu came to Han Xiaoyi's side and asked, "Sister Han, what's wrong?" That trumpet just now..."

Han Xiaoyi didn't wait for Zhang Xiaohu to finish speaking, she stretched out her hand to stop and said, "Holy Son, don't ask anything, don't go anywhere, you two stay in your room honestly, and leave the rest to us!" ”

"Sister Han, aren't you underestimating the two of us! Do you know that our Zhang Shengzi is very skilled! Zhao Zixuan said with a smile.

Han Xiaoyi said with a serious face: "Two Holy Sons, now I am really not in the mood to chat with you, you are obedient and obedient, hurry back to your room." ”

"Lao Zhao, what should I do? Zhang Xiaohu asked softly, "Zhao Zixuan glanced at Zhang Xiaohu, made a look, and shouted, "Run!" After saying that, the two of them took advantage of everyone's defenselessness and quickly ran out of the gate of the temple. Behind him, the cries of the women kept coming, "Holy Son! Come back! ”

The two people completely ignored the shouts behind them, only extended the faint light to the entrance of the village, and found that there were two groups of people who had already confronted each other, one was the men from Donglu Village, all wearing leather armor and holding short swords, the number of them was more than sixty, and the one who started was Lan Feng. On the other hand, there is a group of topless strong men, Zhang Xiaohu has never seen such a strong person, like steel and cast iron muscles, and the rough skin seems to be torn apart by muscles. A hideous-looking, weed-like long hair is scattered on the shoulders at will, the number is as high as 100 people, holding a stone axe in their hands, riding a fierce monster under their crotch, this monster has a long sharp mouth and fangs, and the eyes of the two beasts reveal a terrifying cold light. These strong men were surrounded by a mysterious man in a black robe and a skull mask. The mysterious man was also draped in hair, riding one of the strongest monsters, and holding a spear in his pale hand. looks like a bad comer.

The mysterious man looked around for a moment, and soon said in a hoarse voice: "I only need 10,000 catties of grain for this big change, and I won't be too verbose about anything else, I'm waiting for you here, you can take out the food after you think about it, otherwise we will do it ourselves in a while, and it will not be good to hurt anyone at that time." With that, the man got off his mount and sat down on the ground, with two strong men standing behind him with food.

"Lao Zhang, have you noticed that this group of people seems to be the people in the story that Ma Xiao said!" Zhao Zixuan laughed and said in Zhang Xiaohu's ear.

"It should be! It seems that Ma Xiao's story is not all made up out of thin air! Zhang Xiaohu replied.

"What shall we do?"

"Let's see, if we really want to do it, we won't be able to do anything." Zhang Xiaohu observed carefully and found that in the darkness behind these strange people, there seemed to be many people hidden in the shadows.

Many people in Donglu Village began to discuss, Zhang Xiaohu listened to it and found that Donglu Village had already prepared food, but he didn't expect the other party to ask for so much, so he was a little hesitant for a while. It's not the first time these weirdos have come to grab something. It's just that what Zhang Xiaohu doesn't understand is that Donglu Village is obviously holding a weapon made of metal, why don't he dare to resist these people who are obviously backward than him, there is no blood at all.

Soon, half of the villagers in Donglu Village left, and it seemed that they had gone back to prepare food, and the mysterious man sent out a "Hehe! He laughed and said, "That's right, what a bargain it is to exchange food for your peace." You have to thank me too, I'm in a good mood right now and I don't want to hurt you! ”

Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, this mysterious person reminded him of a person, "Ma Xiao"! The tone of the speech is exactly the same, especially the last few sentences. He wanted to see the mysterious man's face, so he slowly walked from behind the crowd to the front.

The mysterious man immediately spotted Zhang Xiaohu, jumped up all of a sudden, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, shouting in his mouth: "It's you!" You're here! The mysterious man made a strange sound from his mouth, and when those strong men heard the sound, they all raised their stone axes and rushed towards Zhang Xiaohu.
