In the orchard under the moonlight, Liu Xiu waved a hoe to plant peanuts one by one, and the two handfuls of peanuts he brought back were only planted on a few points at most, and it didn't take much time.

Although he had only been out for a few days, most of the flowers were gone, replaced by young leaves and fruits of the first buds.

The ground is covered with a layer of flowers, and soon these petals will become part of the earth, turning into nutrients to nourish all things.

Liu Xiu finished planting the peanuts he brought back, and went to fetch water to water them one by one.

Looking at the success of his labor at night, thinking of the joy of the autumn harvest, Liu Xiu was full of expectation.

Then he took a look at other crops, and the growth was not very satisfactory without fertilizer, which was also a helpless thing, but fortunately they were better than nature, and they tasted good after harvesting.

It is worth mentioning that there are almost no weeds in the field where Liu Xiu planted crops, and the crops will not be affected by the weeds absorbing nutrients and affecting their growth, which must be the credit of the bee colony, which faithfully performed the weeding task after Liu Xiu left.

"Hey, it's strange, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of bee colonies around here, but there aren't any of them, and the big tiger doesn't know where to go, so he said okay to show me home......"

I didn't think I was busy before, but now Liu Xiu finally found out that something was wrong.

However, he didn't dwell too much on this issue, this place is located in the mountains, there are neighbors not far away, and there is no abnormal situation, so naturally there is no need to think deeply about these small problems.

After confirming that everything was fine, and coming back with a delay of some time, Liu Xiu had to return to the place where the gold coins were placed to continue his travel.

When he returned to the house to put the hoe down, he thought that he had brought not much monkey wine, so he decided to bring another one.

When he went out and was about to leave, Liu Xiu stood at the door and scratched his head, he felt that the position of the books on his bookshelf seemed to be a little wrong, but he couldn't say why, no matter how good his memory was, he wouldn't specifically write down the trivial things of ordinary life.

Although there seemed to be something wrong, he just couldn't say it, and there was nothing wrong anyway, so he didn't bother about it, and left with monkey wine to continue the next journey.

After Liu Xiu left, the center of the calm lake in the distance rippled, and the huge python's head slowly appeared on the water, and his eyes glanced at the direction outside the mountain, as if he rolled his eyes and slowly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Calm returned to the west......

Back to the place where the basket was put away, the black light was blind, Liu Xiu got dressed and went to find firewood in the dark to make a fire, the night in early spring was still a little cold, although he was not afraid of the cold, but the warmth always made people more comfortable.

The fire is not mainly for heating, but for boiling medicine, this is a wilderness, there are no special tools, Liu Xiu can only drink the little wine left in the bamboo tube that was brought out last time to fill the monkey wine, and use the bamboo tube as a tool for boiling medicine, the problem is not big, as long as you pay attention to the bamboo tube not to be burned into charcoal by the fire.

"It is true that my physique is growing steadily by taking medicine every day to practice self-cultivation, but after so long, under the comparison of the huge base, in fact, the progress of each day has been relatively small, and it is impossible to feel the terrible progress at the beginning, and then it is the accumulation of days, but it doesn't matter, it is true that there is progress every day, gathering sand into a tower, and the medicine cannot be stopped if there is progress......

Muttering to himself, Liu Xiu was in a very calm mood, he didn't go too far in the pursuit of strength, taking medicine every day to practice self-cultivation has become a habit, even if he almost can't feel the daily progress now, he doesn't plan to stop.

He roasted some peanuts and fruits on the fire and ate them, and when the medicine in the bamboo tube boiled, he moved them away a little, so that they could still be heated but not burned by the fire, so he lay down by the fire and slept.

Woken up by the sound of insects and birds, Liu Xiu rubbed his eyes and got up, his body was very exposed, his hair was hanging with water droplets, and he let out a mouthful of mist, the fire had been extinguished, but the medicine was still warm.

After moving his body, Liu Xiu began to take medicine to practice self-cultivation, and after finishing facing the morning glow, he went to the creek not far away to wash, and caught a fat fish for breakfast by the way.

Re-lit the fire to grill the fish, Liu Xiu only smeared a little salt as a seasoning, and stuffed two pieces of wild ginger into the belly of the fish to remove the fish, the taste is light but also sweet, breakfast should not be too heavy, light and good.

Then put out the bonfire and continued the journey, since he didn't see any scenery worth lingering on this day, Liu Xiu walked more than two hundred miles in the afternoon, and was already close to the edge of the jurisdiction of Linjiang City.

The weather in spring is changing, the sun is still shining at noon, but the weather is gloomy and about to rain in the afternoon, so it is not suitable for camping, Liu Xiu has to quickly find a place to shelter from the rain for the night.

Although the ecology of this world is relatively primitive, and many big trees can completely shelter from the rain, Liu Xiu doesn't want to risk being split by spring thunder to go under the big trees.

After looking for a place to shelter from the rain for more than an hour, Liu Xiu finally braved the spring rain and found an abandoned building on a hill not far from the side of the road.

After a little look, Liu Xiu found that this was actually a small courtyard, which was in disrepair and uninhabited at first glance, and most of the walls had collapsed, overgrown with weeds, mottled and rich in historical traces.

In fact, along the way, Liu Xiu has seen a lot of similar situations, this world is actually not so peaceful as imagined, there are bandits, bandits, bandits, robbers, and even warriors who kill people in anger, so there will always be abandoned buildings for one reason or another, and even Liu Xiu has seen an abandoned manor on the way before, which is full of dry bones, and I don't know what kind of enemy he has provoked.

"Although I have not encountered such a thing, but the world is so big, and the situation that can be called a massacre happens every day, just once a month, and the number of abandoned places over the years is also a very alarming number."

Thinking so in his heart, Liu Xiu pushed open the door of the abandoned building in the rain, and the dust fell in response to the sound and was blown away by the air flow controlled by him.

As far as the eye can see, the roof of this small hall is still intact, the ground is dry, but the cobwebs are dense, and it is approaching night, so it looks a little gloomy here, especially ......

"What once seemed to be a temple?" Liu Xiu looked at the front of the hall in surprise and muttered to herself.

There is a high platform there, on which stands a three-meter-high clay statue, the skin peels off the paint and it is impossible to distinguish, but Liu Xiu is sure that the statue enshrined on the high platform is definitely not a person, but a bit like a demon.

"The lower body looks like some kind of animal, with hooves, and actually has four hands, no, to be precise, two of them are claws, and they used to be holding weapons, but I don't know where they went, there are horns on their heads, and they are broken, and they are not people or Buddhas, they are actually a demon......"

Looking at Liu Xiu's thoughts, it stands to reason that this kind of temple-like place, where the things enshrined can be traced back to the prototype, fabricated out of thin air will have but absolutely rare, could it be that there are really humanoid creatures with animal bodies and four hands in this world?

Groaning slightly, Liu Xiu felt that he had even slapped a python dozens of feet long to death, even if there were such strange-shaped creatures in this world, it was not unacceptable.

Moreover, what can be enshrined in the temple is not a creature in the ordinary sense, but something extraordinary!

These are just imaginations, Liu Xiu didn't dare to jump to conclusions before seeing the real thing, and after a little look, he went to find wood to make a fire to ward off the cold.

I don't know how long this place has been deserted, and the useful things have been almost moved, but the firewood is not difficult to find, the doors and windows can be used to burn, and even Liu Xiu has seen many traces of human activities here, considering that this place is not far from the side of the road, I think there were people like him who came to shelter from the wind and rain.

The spring rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the dark sky is suddenly as bright as day, lightning pierces the sky, thunder roars, and the whole world seems to tremble.

The flickering electric light shone in the hall, and the statues on the altar seemed to be hideous.

Liu Xiu, who was bored and was about to pull an erhu, suddenly raised his head, and a person appeared outside the door.

This person is nearly two meters tall, burly, his clothes have been soaked by the rain, his beard gives people a sense of ferocity, and he has a two-foot-long triangular broadsword hanging from his waist.

He hurried over, and saw Liu Xiu in the middle of the house stunned for a moment, and then stood at the door and shook off the rain urn on his body and said angrily: "The kid over there, you are alone here?" You don't mind if I'm here to shelter from the rain? ”

Having said that, it seemed that they were discussing, but this person came directly to Liu Xiu's bonfire and sat down, and the rain on his body quickly soaked the ground.

His voice was very loud, and Liu Xiu could see clearly by the light of the fire that he was only wearing a sweatshirt in the cold spring season, and his burly body had dark skin, scars in many places, and he looked fierce and could scare crying children without speaking.

Seeing that he sat down directly, Liu Xiu could only twitch the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't mind"

It is convenient to go out and be convenient with others, and it is convenient for Liu Xiu to really don't mind him to roast the fire, although the other party doesn't seem to be so pleasing.

The vicious man on the opposite side took off his sweatshirt and twisted it, and said without raising his head: "You little doll has nothing to do and run around, this place is already on the edge of Linjiang City's jurisdiction, but it is very chaotic, if you meet a bad person, hehe......"

Liu Xiuxin said that you look like a bad person, and said with a smile: "There shouldn't be so many bad people, right?" I've had a pretty peaceful journey."

"The child knows a fart, uncle, I eat more pork than the pigs you see, will the bad guy have the word bad guy written on his face?" The strong man raised his head and grinned at Liu Xiu and said with a smile, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, and a lightning bolt happened to flash through the light and darkness outside, he gave people an extremely hideous feeling.

Liu Xiu was about to say something, when his eyes swept over the strong man and looked at the door, where two more people appeared in front of and behind him.

A man and a woman, who should not be together, are all wet by the rain and look very embarrassed, the woman is soft and weak and wears cloth clothes, and the man looks weak and can't help but carry a wooden stick.

They stood in the doorway and looked nervous, as if they were afraid of the strong man inside and did not dare to come in.

"What are you two bragging about, why don't you come in and bake the fire in this damn weather? Do you want me to bring you in? The strong man also noticed Liu Xiu's gaze, turned around and glared at the two people at the door and said fiercely......
