A sword light pierced the dust and smoke, and the sword blade shattered some stone monsters, and the sword qi swept violently, and those stone monsters were all turned into powder!

Seeing the corners of the brocade robe faintly exposed in the dust and smoke, Zhou Xuanqing's face slowed slightly, and he shouted tentatively: "Master Hou?"

The figure came closer, revealing a familiar handsome face—it was him.

Liu Yanshu looked at Zhou Xuanqing for a while, then nodded his head and said calmly: "It's okay." ”

Zhou Xuanqing didn't care about it, stepped forward and grabbed one of Liu Yanshu's arms, and said hurriedly: "Master Hou, you can't stay here for a long time, let's go inside first!"

Liu Yanshu, who was a head taller behind him, stared at the arm pulled by Zhou Xuanqing with lowered eyes, his eyes darkened, and there was a trace of confusion on his face. I don't know why, the corners of his lips pulled out a faint arc.

However, Zhou Xuanqing can't see this. As she walked, she thought: The stone monsters here are inexplicable, someone must have cast a spell, and only by going to the village can she solve all this. Anyway, Lu Shiyi and Mo Huaigu are both goblins, and they can hold on to the overall situation for a while, so naturally they don't have to worry too much......

The deeper they went, the cleaner the dust and smoke became. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a fairly clean house.

It's very quiet here, there is a fence around the outside of the house, and there should be some chickens and ducks next to the vegetable patch, which emit a foul smell.

Zhou Xuanqing pinched his nose and frowned repeatedly, and his voice changed and said, "Master Hou, I look at this room is weird, I have to go in and take a look." ”

Liu Yanshu was originally staring at her side face, but when he saw her turn around, he naturally looked away.

"Well, it's worth probing. ”

Zhou Xuanqing glanced at him, and suddenly heard a cat meow near and far away in his ears, and looked happily on the road when he came: "Ah Hua, Master Hou, did you hear Ah Hua calling?"

"No, did you hear the difference?" Liu Yanshu said, holding one hand behind his back and gently twisting between his fingers...... There seemed to be a call in the distance, and it disappeared.

When Zhou Xuanqing turned around, he looked at the dilapidated house casually and said, "Let's go." ”

The two entered the yard, carefully avoiding the and duck under their feet, and finally stood under the eaves with their feet on their feet, and Zhou Xuanqing raised his head and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?" No one responded, and Zhou Xuanqing knocked twice hard.

In the house, Granny Chang sat cross-legged on the couch, squinting her cloudy eyes and struggling to hold the soles of her shoes. When he heard the knock on the door, he was immediately distracted and pricked his fingers, oozing a little blood.

"Who's coming, wait. ”

As she gets older, her movements are a little sluggish.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Xuanqing heard the sound of shoes grinding on the ground, and approached the threshold. Just a "squeak" sound, the door finally opened from the inside.

Granny Chang rubbed her eyes and tried hard to identify them for a while before asking, "Who are you?"

A gust of wind suddenly blew down the broom at the door, making a muffled sound.

Zhou Xuanqing picked up the broom, showed a warm and warm smile and said: "Hello mother-in-law, we passed by Baizhuang today and saw that the village was badly destroyed everywhere, so we were curious, so we came in to take a look-but we met a mountain bandit?"

As soon as Granny Chang heard this, she beckoned them in, handed over another pot of water, and said with a bitter smile, "There are no mountain bandits, they are run by people from the government." ”

"Official?" Zhou Xuanqing pretended to be inadvertent, put the water cup between his nose and sniffed it, and nodded at Liu Yanshu when he felt fine.

Granny Chang's eyes were confused, and she groped and sat on the couch: "Yes, half a month ago, the government brought troops into the village, saying that we should move out by ourselves, so that this place can be filled in and renovated." ”

Zhou Xuanqing took a sip of water and asked, "Why doesn't my mother-in-law leave?" I see that there are no villagers along the way. ”

"Mother-in-law, I didn't leave because I was waiting for my grandson to come back. What if I leave and my grandson can't find a home when he comes back? The government doesn't care if you want it or not, and you will come to the door twice in three days to rush it. I don't know if God has opened his eyes, but I haven't been here for a few days recently......"

Previously, Zhou Xuanqing heard the commander talk about this matter, and he already felt that the government had gone too far, but now that he heard what happened to Granny Chang, he couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart. glanced at Liu Yanshu, got up and began to walk around.

The interior of the house is simply furnished, there are compartments in and out, there is only one bed in the innermost, and the utensils seem to be only for one person.

"Mother-in-law, are you living alone? You just said that you are waiting for your grandson to come back, where is the other person?"

Granny Chang wiped the moist corners of her eyes with her sleeve, sighed, and said, "My baby grandson, he was separated from me when he was a child... Now, I don't know where he is. ”

It seems that the grandson of the mother-in-law was lost when he was a child, so it is no wonder that he wants to stay here. Zhou Xuanqing paused for a moment, stared at the red koi swimming in the barrel, and paused: "Mother-in-law, do you still have a koi?"

"Oh, that fish was caught by the villagers from the river a few months ago. Later, the people in the village didn't want to burn it and eat it, so they sent me this fish to raise to relieve boredom. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the carp seemed to deliberately jump out of the air, 'poof', splashed water droplets with its tail, and hid deep in the bottom of the bucket.

Zhou Xuanqing tightened his gaze and stared at the koi fish, his expression a little solemn.

~

At that time, all the dust and smoke on the road in the village had dispersed, and there were countless broken stones on the ground, all of which were knocked down by those stone monsters.

Lu Shiyi and Mo Huaigu rested with their backs against their backs.

Taking a breath, Lu Shizhi directly threw away his blade and looked at Liu Yanshu.

"Master Hou, those stone monsters won't attack people anymore. However, Xiao Daogu is gone. ”

Liu Yanshu's jaw line is clear, and there is a faint anger brewing in his peach eyes. He looked at Governor Yang who was hiding behind the tree, and said in a heavy voice: "No matter what method you use, Benhou must gather a thousand soldiers and horses for me before dark." ”

Governor Yang wiped his sweat and his legs were weak. He just recovered from the panic, and the task given by the Hou Ye was very difficult.

"With so many soldiers and horses, how can the prefect of the Xiaguan District be mobilized? Moreover, there must be a reason for the private transfer of soldiers and horses, right? If this kind of thing reaches the ears of people with a heart in the capital, I am afraid that the lives of the Xiaguan family will not be guaranteed!"

As if he had expected it, Liu Yanshu glanced sideways: "Lu Shiyi, you take Governor Yang with you." ”

"Yes!"

A moment later, Lu Shiyi flew rapidly over the treetops with Governor Yang in his arms.

Yang Zhifu regretted it, for the first time in his life, he was so bumped that he almost vomited out. The strong wind came to my face, and my face was a little dry and painful. He closed his eyes and shouted in a trembling voice: "Brother~ Why don't we ride horses?"

Lu Shiyi replied while exerting his demonic power: "Lord Yang, there is no delay, you don't have to speak, just hold on to me." ”
