Wuyue Village is located in the south of the 100,000 Mountains.

It is rumored that the sky in this area is densely foggy, and every time the moon is full, the sky above the mountains and forests will be filled with a deep and thick fog, which will cover the moon, and when you look up, the moon seems to be black, so it is called "Wuyue Village".

When Li Changsheng arrived at Wuyue Village, it was afternoon, but the entire village still looked a little gloomy.

At the head of the village, there is a small tea shop, which is slightly renovated by the shopkeeper's own house, as a tea shop for people to drink tea and chat and rest on weekdays.

The business of this tea shop is actually more common to the villagers in their own village on weekdays.

The 100,000 mountains are remote and difficult to travel, the road is far away, and the trade caravans that cross the mountains and mountains to and from them are not much, and sometimes they will see a caravan after half a year.

Moreover, there are still a lot of people in these business trips, and they travel in groups.

The fewer people there are, the greater the danger in such an ancient mountain forest.

Therefore, as soon as Li Changsheng entered the village, he attracted the attention of the local villagers.

There are very few outsiders in the village, and even if there are, most of them may be villagers from the village not far from the next door, a strange face like Li Changsheng, and he is still walking alone, which is very special.

Li Changsheng found a table and sat down by himself.

The three villagers at the adjacent table glanced at Li Changsheng with a slightly surprised look.

Tea is tea made from tea foam, not even ordinary tea, and the bitter taste is very heavy.

Li Changsheng didn't dislike it, along the way, he kept rushing here, and the journey of two days and two nights forced him to finish in two days and one night.

"Huh...... You said...... How is Lao Ding now? ”

"Lao Ding? Alas...... I don't know, I guess I don't have a few days left to live......"

The three villagers on the side, drinking tea, had nothing to do, and chatted.

I only saw a villager, with a helpless look on his face, and said: "I offended someone who shouldn't be offended, this old man is also a hard life, and finally added a son, and the daughter-in-law went like this...... Now the son has been chosen to be sent to the Dark Witch Cult...... If it were me, I wouldn't ......."

"Won't?" Another villager smiled coldly and said, "What if you don't?" What can we do against the Dark Witch Cult? Look at Lao Ding now, everyone is not a ghost, and every villager is afraid of being implicated by him, and the relatives who walk around on weekdays don't even dare to take a look at their house now...... When he dies...... Do you think his youngest son can stay in the village? ”

"I think the most pitiful thing is his daughter, this trouble...... Without a father, not to mention, even a younger brother is gone...... Lonely and miserable, when it comes to the age of marriage, people are discouraged...... Don't dare to marry ......"

The three villagers drank tea and whispered to each other.

Although the voice was small, every word made Li Changsheng hear it clearly.

After a while, after listening to the chatter of these three people, Li Changsheng seemed to understand in his heart, but he still had some questions.

The three villagers, after drinking tea for a while, settled the bill and went home.

In the entire tea house, only Li Changsheng was left.

The shopkeeper was an old woman, hunched over and hobbled out of the house, and cleaned up the table where the three villagers had been sitting.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly, and said respectfully: "Old woman, your store has been open for some years, right?" ”

The old woman nodded kindly and said, "It's been some years...... It's been 20 years! I am not in good health, and I can't work in the fields like other people, so I have to grow some vegetables in the vegetable garden at home on weekdays, and rely on this small tea shop to let the villagers drink a few sips of tea...... The villagers saw me as a poor old man, so they often came to my place to drink tea and take care of my business. ”

After Li Changsheng heard this, he stood up and helped the old woman clean up together.

The old woman looked at Li Changsheng and said, "Young man, you're not from this village, are you?" ”

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "I'm a traveler passing through the mountains, and I saw a village, so I found a place to rest." ”

"Travelers passing through the mountains?" The old woman was suddenly a little surprised, stared at Li Changsheng, and asked, "Are you alone?" ”

"Yes." Li Changsheng responded.

The old woman said "oops" and said, "Then you have to be careful...... In this big mountain, there are many fierce beasts, snakes, insects, rats and ants, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. ”

At this, the old woman seemed to remember something, sighed, and said, "My poor child...... It was lost in the mountains and gnawed by wild beasts...... It was only one night, when the villagers found him...... All that's left is a pile of bones......"

The old woman's face showed a sad look.

When Li Changsheng heard this, his heart sank slightly, and he hurriedly comforted the old woman a few words.

After tidying up the table, the old woman asked, "Have you found a place to stay?" ”

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "I haven't been in the village for a long time, isn't this ...... Just stop for a cup of tea at your place, where to stay, I haven't found it yet. ”

The old woman said, "Then why don't you ...... You live with me! I still have a few empty rooms that I can pack up for your stay...... There are no hotels in this village, so if you want to stay, it is not convenient...... If you agree, then you only need to pay me, an old woman, a little spare money as accommodation money, and that's it. ”

Li Changsheng said: "Of course there is no problem. ”

The old woman said, "You can live with me for as long as you want...... But...... I advise you to pick a time early and get out of the mountain as soon as possible...... It's not safe in this mountain, especially if you're alone, it's easy to get into danger. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "By the way, old woman, I was sitting here drinking tea just now, and I heard a few villagers at the next table talking about something about Lao Ding's family, do you know what it is?" ”

The old woman's face changed slightly, and after looking around to make sure that there was no one, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "This village is not big...... How could I not know what was going on in the village? If you're idle and want to hear it, I can tell you about it. ”

"Come on...... Old woman, you sit ...... Sit down and talk slowly......"

Li Changsheng was interested, helped the old woman, sat down at the table, poured a bowl of tea for the old woman, and then sat down on the side and looked at the old man in front of him.
