Chapter 7: The Mysterious Village
The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Tianxin and Bu Jinghong, on the way to the famous sword villa, were intercepted and killed, and learned from the killer that the head of the Qianshan faction, Ram Yushu, issued a wanted warrant to the world, and Tianxin, who did not know the truth, was resentful of it. Bu Jinghong wiped out the killer in an instant, so that Tianxin couldn't help but be stunned, and asked about Bu Jinghong's identity, but he was perfunctory, he only said that the time had come, and he would tell him. After that, the master and apprentice continued to hurry. So it led to the mysterious village to avoid the dust, and stay in it to enjoy leisure, but it can't be avoided, and there is no umbrella when the mountain rain is coming.
Here, Tianxin and Bu Jinghong rushed for a day, because of the lessons of the previous car, they avoided the crowded road as much as possible, and took the relatively remote and quiet path instead. Before they knew it, it was getting late, and just as the two of them had just lit the fire and planned to spend the night here, they heard some noise not far away. Li Tianxin's nerves suddenly tensed, and she glanced at Bu Jinghong, who was also alert, and the two of them performed light skills, instantly hiding in the night. As the minutes passed, I saw a woman dressed as a villager, carrying a bucket of water, walking from the side of the path. When the woman had gone away, they both jumped down from the tree.
"It seems that there is a village around here, why don't we go and have a look, maybe we can borrow a night?"
"Everything is up to Master's arrangement." Although Bu Jinghong did not object, he still had some concerns in his heart. After all, in the dead of night, how could there be a woman from a normal family in this remote forest, and the woman did not hold a lamp, and there was an aura that did not belong to mortals all over her body, which really made people wonder. But since Li Tianxin wanted to go, he naturally had no reason to object, it was a big deal that people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha! He's not afraid!
So the two packed up and got on the horse, and chased in the direction where the village woman disappeared just now, to say that the woman's foot strength is really not with ordinary people, they chased for a while, and then saw the woman's figure. Seeing this, Tianxin hurriedly dismounted, and chased after him in three steps and two steps. "Hello sister-in-law, we are..."
Before she could finish speaking, the woman screamed, dropped the bucket in her hand, turned around and ran, leaving Li Tianxin with a dazed face and water flowing all over the ground. This made Tianxin very embarrassed, she turned her head and looked at Bu Jinghong innocently, "Little step, do you have a mirror..."
“...”
After that, they followed the direction of the woman's disappearance and came to this village with a strange atmosphere, and to Tianxin's surprise, the villagers here either turned around and ran away when they saw them, or closed the doors and windows. Don't give Tianxin a chance to talk at all, Tianxin thinks that although he is not a shy flower in the moon, but he doesn't cry for a long time! This... This is despising her appearance! Bu Jinghong, who was following her, did not speak, a pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, it seemed that he and Tianxin had indeed arrived in a very interesting place.
Just when the two of them were "disturbing the people" around the village, a boy in white led a little girl with a white lantern in his hand, appeared in front of them.
"Daddy, they broke into the village." The little girl obviously didn't welcome them, and she pointed at Li Tianxin and Bu Jinghong angrily.
"I wonder why you two are here?" The man called Daddy, dressed as a scholar, was different from the obvious rejection of the little girl, he just looked at them carefully.
"We passed by Guibaodi, just to spend the night, and for some reason disturbed the villagers... I'm so sorry..."Tianxin arched his hand in apology.
The man in front of him, judging from his appearance, is in his early twenties, and he really doesn't look like this little girl's father. How do you think this little girl is also eleven or twelve years old, could it be that ancient people were so precocious? When she was Li Tianxin's age, she was still stupid and pinched mud, and all the children were in junior high school... Just as Tianxin was thinking nonsense, the man in white opened his mouth. "Outsiders are not welcome in our village, please leave quickly!"
"In that case, we won't bother." Li Tianxin saw that he had touched his nose, smiled awkwardly and turned around, stretched out his hand to pull the reins of the horse, and prepared to leave with Bu Jinghong.
However, when the white-clothed boy saw the silver bell bracelet on Tianxin's wrist holding the reins, a trace of fleeting killing intent flashed in his eyes, and the killing intent seemed to carry a bitter hatred, and he suddenly stepped forward and said. "If the two of you are just staying overnight, you are willing to make an exception."
Li Tianxin, who was a little discouraged and sighed, saw that things had taken a turn for the better, so he hurriedly turned around and thanked the man who claimed to be innocent. "Then thank you Immortal Son! We'll leave early tomorrow morning, and we won't disturb everyone in the village again!"
And in the face of the sudden change, Bu Jinghong was not as happy as Li Tianxin. Because he has taken in the eyes full of murderous intent, it seems that things are really getting more and more interesting. And what's even more interesting is that this innocent son, like those villagers just now, does not have the slightest popularity, this village is really not simple!
"Daddy, do you really want to take them in? This sister she..."The little girl's expression of reluctance was replaced by a puzzled expression, obviously she didn't understand why her father suddenly changed his mind and broke the rules here.
"Don't be unreasonable!" Nian Jiao saw that her father had made up her mind, and she didn't dare to make another move, so she honestly stood aside, but still looked at Li Tianxin with unfriendly eyes.
"The little girl is negligent in disciplining, don't blame the two, please come with me." After speaking, Wu Yan pulled Nian Jiao and walked towards a small road in the village.
Tianxin didn't expect that he was so annoying, so he stuck out his tongue helplessly, and led the horse with Bu Jinghong and followed behind them. The bright moon in the sky flickered in the clouds, the night breeze was slightly cool, and the light in Nian Jiao's hand flickered slightly. After passing through dense forests, they came to a house at the end of the village. The dwellings sit in the north and face south, and behind them are the dark mountains and old forests, except for the remoteness, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. After opening the fence gate of the courtyard and signaling them to arrive, Tianxin and Bu Jinghong led the horse into the courtyard and looked around. Although this house is a little simple, it is also well-equipped, and it is better than sleeping in the open air.
"The original owner here went to visit relatives in a foreign country two days ago, so the two of you can rest here tonight. There are ingredients in the kitchen, firewood in the back of the house, and two people can pick it up by themselves. ”
"May I ask the innocent son, this village..."Li Tianxin was about to ask about the situation in the village, but was interrupted by Bu Jinghong.
"Thank you so much!" Bu Jinghong didn't ignore it, the slight mockery on the corner of Wuxian's mouth, he didn't say it, but he was looking forward to it more and more, what would happen next.
Wuxian didn't say anything after that, and pulled Nianjiao away. After Tianxin and Bu watched them disappear at the end of the night, the two entered the house one after the other. Tianxin couldn't wait to run into the back room, put on the earthen kang on his buttocks, and lay down directly. "Finally got a bed to sleep in! Comfortable! Xiaobuzi, why didn't you let me speak just now, I also want to ask the villagers here, why when they see us, it's like seeing a ghost! ”
"Just passing by." Bu Jinghong leaned against the door frame of the inner room, and saw Li Tianxin rolling on the bed regardless of his image, and his eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of softness. "I'll go to the kitchen and wait for me to call you."
"Then it's bothering the apprentice!" Tianxin's heart is beautiful, and it is good to have an apprentice.
After Bu Jinghong walked out of the house, he did not go to the kitchen, but carefully inspected every part of the courtyard. Although there are no traps and ambushes, this house is not as simple as Wu Wu said. Looks like the show is about to begin! Soon, the aroma of roast rabbit meat in the house was overflowing, and Tianxin put a piece of meat in his mouth, revealing a satisfied expression.
"Little step, I didn't expect you to have a good skill in roasting game. Now I am reluctant to let go of the teacher, this meat will be roasted for a lifetime. Hahahaha! ”
"Master likes it." Bu Jinghong took another piece of meat, put it in her bowl, and then lowered his head and took a sip of wine, his ears were slightly red.
"You eat too!" Tianxin didn't notice that Bu Jinghong's ears were slightly red, and she also sandwiched a piece of meat for Bu Jinghong. "Our master and apprentice have meat to eat together, and we are blessed to share it!"
Such a picture reminded her of the scene when she had dinner with Hongying and Uncle Xiao in the Medicine Pavilion, but now they are dead and fleeing... I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to that time in the past, and it's a little sad to think about it. It's not that she doesn't want to know who the black hand who killed Hongying and Jinhong and blamed herself was, but after going through so much, she felt physically and mentally exhausted. If right now, she is desperate to find out the truth, then all that awaits her is endless darkness. She doesn't think that is the rivers and lakes in her heart, so this time, she will be selfish and let the past things be buried in her heart forever, which may be the best result.
Bu Jinghong saw Tianxin's face suddenly sad, and guessed that she remembered the old things of the Qianshan Sect. "Master, there is a hot spring in the forest behind the courtyard."
Tianxin, who was pulled back to his thoughts, was overjoyed when he heard that there was a hot spring. In the past few days, I have been walking on the path, basically spending the night in the forest, and I haven't taken a comfortable bath for a long time. But she didn't want to be honest with Bu Jinghong, after all, she was still dressed as a man. "Apprentice, go wash it, I want to rest early when I'm tired of the teacher."
Bu Jinghong didn't say anything, nodded and continued to eat.
In the middle of the night, a dark shadow tiptoed off the kang and secretly left the back room. And this black shadow is Li Tianxin, she used the sound of eggplant in her mouth, whispered a few words in Bu Jinghong's ear, and saw that he was breathing evenly and did not wake up, so she took his clothes out of the house like a thief, and walked towards the hot spring behind the courtyard.
The moonlight is long, the white smoke curls, and the breeze stirs up the light waves in the water. At this moment, Tianxin is soaking in the hot springs, thinking about the days ahead. In terms of the geographical location here, settling here and opening a hot spring hotel should make a lot of money. It's just that the people here are like seeing ghosts when they see outsiders, it's a pity that they have such a good resource.
Tianxin gestured with his hand to the half-missing moon path in the sky. "Who first saw the moon in the sky? When does the bright moon shine at the beginning of the year? Life is infinite from generation to generation, and the bright moon is only similar every year. ”
The silver bell bracelet on her wrist, in the quiet moonlight, did not show any brilliance, it was still tattered and lifeless. Speaking of this rusty bracelet, it is the last connection between the ram feather book and her, not only is there a bell missing from the bracelet, but the remaining bells have long been broken, I am afraid that in this life, there will be no sound. It's really thanks to the head of his dignified Thousand Mountains Sect that he used such a shabby thing as a master-apprentice ceremony. But then again, this shabby is also aimed at her Li Tianxin alone.
The night breeze was no longer slightly drunk, and the leaves around him began to rustle, and Tianxin couldn't help but shiver. Just when she wanted to get dressed up, she raised her eyes to meet a pair of eyes that emitted a strange ghostly light, and the owner of these eyes was not a beast in the mountains, but the innocent boy who had suddenly changed his mind just now, and at this moment he exuded a terrifying murderous aura. Li Tianxin was startled, she suddenly hid in the water and cursed indignantly. "Your sister! Peeking at the old lady taking a bath! ”
