"It brings death."

Huai Zui and Yue Jin wanted to ask something, but the sturdy men stood in front of the old man, staring at the two of them with their fists.

If they do not leave, I am afraid they will be expelled by violent means.

Yue Jin tugged at Huai's drunken sleeve and signaled him not to get into a conflict with the villagers, after all, what they were looking for was probably here.

"Drive people out indiscriminately, this group of people is really ......" out of the village, Huai drunk punch on the tree.

The snow fell from the trees one after another, staining his green silk white.

Yue Jin walked over, brushed the snow off his shoulders and said, "He's talking about me, why are you so atmospheric?" ”

"It's just ......" empathizes.

Huai Zui sighed, and suddenly said, "Suspicious? What about kittens? ”

The two looked at each other, and it seemed that they had to go to the village.

At this time, a young man in short brown walked towards the village with a bamboo basket humming a small tune, and Yue Jin gave him a piece of broken silver and asked him to help go to the village to see if there was a little black cat.

The young man put away the broken silver and wondered, "Why don't you go find it yourself?" ”

"That ......," Yue Jin rolled her eyes, "We had a little misunderstanding with the people in the village just now. ”

"It must be the village chief, he's just an old-fashioned man, don't take it to heart." The boy laughed and jumped into the village.

After a while, the boy appeared again with a bamboo basket on his back.

He mysteriously pulled Yue Jin to a more remote place and opened the bamboo basket to show her.

The little black cat sat in the bamboo basket, staring at them with big round eyes like black grapes, and raised its head to look at them.

Yue Jin thanked her, and was about to stretch out her hand, but saw the young man slam the lid of the bamboo basket slammed shut.

The young man shook his head and said solemnly, "Where did you come from this cat?" Where are you going to take it? ”

"What are you doing so much?" Huai Zui didn't know what medicine the young man wanted to buy in the gourd, so he held his hand and asked rhetorically.

"To put it another way, is this cat yours?" The young man's face was full of determination, "If you don't say it, I won't give it to you." ”

"Of course it is, why is there so much nonsense."

Huai Zui reached out to pull the bamboo basket, but the young man held on to the bamboo basket and didn't let go, and then simply pounced on it.

Huai drunk let go of his hand suddenly, and the young man's original center of gravity was all behind him, and this time he fell backwards and fell to the ground.

He got up, patted the snow on his clothes and said, "The village chief is right, you are really not good people!" ”

"Hey, you little hairy kid here......" Huai drunk rolled up his sleeves and waved his fist, pretending to hit the boy.

The young man swallowed nervously, took a few steps back, and said, "You have robbed the cattle and sheep in the village, and now you don't even let go of the cats." ”

"Wait!" Hearing the young man say this, Yue Jin realized that it was no wonder that she always felt that something was wrong with the village, and it turned out that she didn't hear a trace of the sound of livestock.

She asked, "Has anyone been here before?" ”

"Aren't you all in the same group?" There was a look of confusion in the boy's eyes.

"Is it from Beili?" Yue Jin asked again.

The boy nodded, thinking.

While Yue Jin was talking to the young man, the little black cat squeezed open the bamboo basket cover and got out.

It raised its little paws and washed its face, shivering in the cold wind, meowing and squeezing to Yuejin's feet to keep warm.

"Now I'm sure it's your cat." The boy grinned, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Huai Zui took out a small dagger from his arms, shook it in front of the young man, and asked: "Sharpening iron is like clay, blowing hair can be broken, do you want such a high-quality weapon?" ”

The young man nodded desperately, and the light in his eyes shone brightly, but the light soon dimmed again, and he said softly, "It must be expensive, right?" ”

"I can send you."

"Really?" The young man's face was happy, but he still said vigilantly, "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, you must want me to do something." ”

"yes." Huai Zui did not deny it, he showed two fingers, "Answer me two questions, and I will send you." ”

"I don't know everything." The boy muttered.

"Choose what you can say, we won't force you." Yue Jin added on the side.

"Yes, but you have to be honest." Huai Zui nodded, "If I let me know that you lied, not only would I not give it to you, but I would also send you away." ”

Is it really good to threaten a little kid like this? Yue Jin couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The young man patted his chest and said, "You go to the village to inquire, and there is no one more honest than me." ”

"Okay, first question: What did you say about the Beili people robbing your cattle and sheep?" Huai asked drunk.

The young man folded his fingers and calculated, and said, "Just in autumn, a group of Beili people came to our village to live temporarily. They gave us a lot of gold bars and helped us catch snakes.

"And then, just a few days ago, all of a sudden they disappeared overnight, and they took all the cattle and sheep from the village.

"Originally, the villagers said that they should buy it, but when they took the gold bars to the gold shop in the city, they found out that the gold bars were all fake!"

"Turning stones into alchemy, those are all stones." Yue Jin said.

The young man nodded, sighed, and continued: "The village chief sent people to find these Beili people, but all the people who were sent out to see the Beili people died within two days of returning. ”

No wonder the hostility of the villagers is so great.

Yue Jin nodded thoughtfully, if she didn't guess wrong, the young man was talking about the group of people in Younan, it seemed that they had been lurking here for a much longer than expected.

I don't know how far they have studied Gu poison? Yue Jin was faintly worried.

"Let's ask a second question." The boy urged, "If I go back late, I will be punished by my father." ”

"The second question is-" Huai Zui deliberately lengthened his voice, and he didn't go on.

Seeing that the young man was so anxious that he stomped his feet, he took out a piece of paper and showed it to the young man: "Have you ever seen this kind of snake in the village?" ”

The young man was illiterate, frowned at the pattern on the paper, and suddenly said proudly: "You are asking the right person." This snake is very venomous, and there is a risk of death if you are not careful when catching, and ordinary people should not dare to catch it. But I dare to go, it's worth it. ”

Huai Zui put the dagger in the young man's hand, took out a handful of broken silver and said, "You go back and ask your family if you can sell us one." ”

The young man glanced at the silver and said, "These are definitely not enough. ”

"Just your errand fee." Huai drunk paused, "By the way, don't you care about the dead people in your village?" ”

"I didn't report to the official, the body is still in Yizhuang, because the village chief said that then we will be considered an accomplice of Beili."

"Got it." Huai drunk patted the young man on the back, "Go and help us ask the price, I'll be waiting for you here." ”

Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Huai was drunk and distressed to touch the place where the dagger was originally placed.

Yue Jin wrapped the little black cat in her cloak and sat on the stone, while the latter was already asleep.

Huai Zui also sat down beside her, as if to say to her, and as if talking to himself: "This village chief is a little wrong." ”
