Chapter 200: The Old Woman in White

A few people stopped and stopped, and soon left the plain, standing at the edge of the plain, Xiang Ling and the others saw the smoke in the distance.

I haven't had this feeling for a long time, in the city, there are many reinforced concrete, even in the restaurant, it is also the pungent smell of oil smoke, after arriving in this fantasy world, Xiang Ling is in the Aris Imperial Capital, and the Aris Imperial Capital, just like a luxurious city, except for the luxurious pavilions, it is a luxurious cultivator, and the cooking smoke is something that can't be on the table, naturally it can't be seen.

Therefore, standing on the plain, looking at those low and scattered houses, and feeling the breeze blowing in his ears, Xiang Ling's heart moved unconsciously.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, sniffing hard, feeling the rare freshness of the countryside.

Du Kang saw Xiang Ling stunned, stepped forward, and gently touched her arm, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiang Ling withdrew his greedy gaze at those smokers, turned his head, and let out a long sigh. "It's nothing, it's just a little emotional."

With a nostalgic gaze, he looked at the plain behind him again, and Xiang Ling turned his gaze to Zhou Su, "Hall Master Zhou, did you pass from here?" ”

Zhou Su nodded, "After passing through this village and climbing over a mountain, you should be able to reach Wulong Pond." It's just that it's getting late, so we might as well go to the village in front of us for the night. ”

The rest of the people raised their heads, subconsciously glanced at the sky above, and found that the afterglow of the sunset had long since disappeared, so they all nodded one by one.

Having made up their minds, several people stood side by side and marched towards the village.

The small mountain village arrived soon, but the first time they saw the small mountain village, several people were slightly stunned.

This mountain village seems to be a bit dilapidated, with less than 100 households living there, all of which are houses rescued by yellow mud. On the roof, there are some yellow muddy straws scattered around, which looks so dilapidated and decadent.

Xiang Ling and the others walked along the only dirt road in the village, while frowning at the mud and tile houses on both sides, "This village seems to be very poor. Xiang Ling said, "It's not good, there's not even a place for us to stay." ”

"Let's go ask first, if we really don't, we'll go camping at the foot of the mountain tonight." Zhou Su didn't mind if there was a place to stay.

For some reason, he always felt weird when he walked into this village.

A feeling that I can't tell the truth.

"I'll try!" Hearing Xiang Ling say that he wanted to spend the night, Du Kang volunteered, turned around and walked to a low room on the left hand side with great interest.

"Buckle button, buckle button---" Du Kang knocked on the door, but there seemed to be no movement inside.

"It's weird." Xiang Ling raised his head and clearly saw that the roof of the low house was smoky at the moment. "Obviously there is smoke, the host's house should be cooking, how can no one come to open the door!"

"Forget it." Du Kang sighed, "Maybe this family doesn't like outsiders to come, I'll try another one." ”

Du Kang turned around and walked towards the family on the other side of the low house again.

"Buckle button, buckle buckle ----buckle" This time, Du Kang knocked on the door harder.

It's just the same, after the door knocks, no one comes out.

At this moment, several people began to wonder.

They turned their heads again to look at the small village and saw that there was hardly a single person to be seen on the road. Although the smoke was rising from many homes, the rooms were all silent.

"What a strange village." Xiang Ling sighed, her gaze looked at Du Kang with some uncertainty, "What should I do?" Shall we try it? ”

"Try again!" Du Kang still didn't give up, this time, he ran forward for some distance, then turned to the side of the family, and knocked on the knocker again.

"Knock knock, knock knock----" The sound of the knocker hitting the wooden door sounded for the third time, but as everyone expected, there was still no response in the house.

"It seems that this village is not very welcoming to outsiders." Zhou Su frowned slightly, "If that's the case, we can only sleep open." ”

"Well, what kind of village is this? One portal after another was shut, as if we were some kind of flood beast. Xiang Ling muttered.

"Perhaps, this village has been harassed by outsiders, so with the experience of the past, the door is closed and no outsiders are seen." Qing Ling's eyebrows also frowned slightly.

"Possibly." Zhou Su's smile was faint, "We don't have to force others, it's not cold these days, let's go to the foot of the mountain to find a vacant place to sleep." ”

This village is weird! When Zhou Su spoke, he spoke to Qingling in ventriloquism.

Not bad. Qing Ling looked at Zhou Su, even if the village didn't like outsiders, it should come directly to the village gate to intercept it, instead of closing the door.

The two men nodded at each other, and their eyes looked into the depths of the road.

"Sleeping rough is easy!" When Qing Ling and Zhou Su were looking at the road not far away, Xiang Ling's voice suddenly sounded in their ears, "But my stomach can't be empty!" ”

"You're hungry again!" Du Kang saw Xiang Ling complaining and couldn't help but care.

"What do you mean I'm hungry again? After all, I've only eaten a few meals here, and I am not only frightened every day, but also have to deal with those fierce and vicious pavilion masters for a while, and I have to deal with those spirit beasts with teeth and claws, but I don't even have a full meal. ”

"Don't worry, Ling'er, when the time comes, I'll go hunt a prey for you and come back." Du Kang patted his chest and promised.

"Hunting? Still don't. Xiang Ling swallowed his saliva vigorously, "At your level, you can only fight small prey, those little white rabbits, lambs and the like, it's too cruel, I'm still hungry!" ”

"Among the spiritual weapons that Aaron gave you, there should also be some elixirs that can be used to satisfy your stomach, you can eat a little first." Yi saw Xiang Ling's expression of being hungry for hundreds of years, and stepped forward and said softly.

"Pills? What is the use of pills? It can only replenish stamina. Not only am I hungry, but I also need to let my own gut and mouth enjoy the delicious food, not just a pill. ”

"Isn't eating just to replenish your strength?" Yi was very puzzled by Xiang Ling's statement.

"Eating is not about quality but only quantity, it is a wild animal, we are human beings, we are advanced animals, eating is a kind of enjoyment, not just to fill the stomach." Xiang Ling Jianyi didn't understand the pursuit of a foodie at all, and he scoffed at it.

"Now that the conditions are difficult, you can overcome it!" Du Kang knew Xiang Ling's personality, so he had to say with a smile.

"But I really want to eat." Xiang Ling didn't know why, she knew that the conditions here were difficult, and she shouldn't be able to ask for so much, but suddenly she had an extraordinary stubbornness about eating.

"Little girl, do you want to eat?"

While a few people were talking, they suddenly heard an old voice in front of them.

Several people stood still, staring not far ahead.

There was an old woman in white, walking towards Xiang Ling and them on crutches, holding something in her hand, which was steaming hot.

Xiang Ling's gaze, the first thing he saw was not the old woman, but the bowl of things in her hand.

"If it's steaming, it's definitely going to be food." Xiang Ling seemed a little impatient.

The old woman trembled and walked down the muddy path, walked to a few people and stood still, and handed over the things in her hand, "Come, you're hungry, eat some, freshly boiled porridge." ”

"Wow! It smells so good! Xiang Ling stretched out his hand, fanned the hot air on the porridge bowl, and drove the heat into his nose.

"Just eat a little incense, there are many more at home, you can come with me." The old woman put the porridge bowl in the salivating hand of Xiang Ling, then turned around and continued to walk tremblingly on crutches.

Xiang Ling looked down at the bowl of steaming white porridge in his hand, the gluttonous worms in his stomach began to climb up one after another, and there was such an impulse that Xiang Ling wanted to pour the white porridge in his hand into his stomach in one go. But thinking that everyone was there, it seemed a little inauthentic if she swallowed this food alone, so she still tried her best to resist the gluttonous worms in her body that scratched her like a cat's paw.

"Don't you think that old woman is strange?" Yi expressed the doubts in his heart at this time, but although his words were skeptical, his tone was still very flat.

However, these calm words, in Xiang Ling's sound, were like a basin of cold water poured on his head, "Yi! Can you fix your fault? Always ruthlessly pouring cold water on us when we are happy about something, so what's wrong with the old woman? Isn't it just a kind old woman who knows that we are hungry and cooks white porridge for us? If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it! Take your own elixir, I'm going to fill my stomach." ”

Yi was choked by Xiang Ling's sudden choking, and then stopped talking or arguing.

His gaze looked suspiciously in the direction of the old woman's departure. His eyes were full of doubts.

Xiang Ling said that being hungry was just a matter of time, why did this old woman know?

This thing is definitely weird.

"Young Pavilion Master, what do you think?" This time, Zhou Su did not use ventriloquism, but directly confronted Qingling and asked questions. His eyes looked at the bowl of white porridge in Xiang Ling's hand, and then looked at the closed doors on both sides.

Qing Ling's brows were furrowed, he had never stretched, and his gaze was the same as Zhou Su's, and it also fell on the bowl of steaming white porridge in Xiang Ling's hand. "We asked several houses in this village one after another, but no one came to open the door, why did this old woman take the initiative to bring us food? And, how does he know we're hungry? ”

Qing Ling's words made Yi's originally lowered eyebrows suddenly move.

It turned out that their own suspicions, Qingling and they were also suspicious.
