The cold wind of midwinter roared the earth, rolling up layers of snow, and shrouded Liuzhangjia Village, a small village in the north.

Zhangjia Village is located in the north of the Great Demon Country, adjacent to the ice field in the north, and there are more than 100 people in the village, who live by hunting.

Xiaozhu held a jar of wine and hurriedly ran around the village, and the little feet stepped fast in the snow, and the whole person was happy.

The little girl was fifteen years old, her eyes were clear and her face was full of bright smiles.

In the past few days, there has been a handsome son in the family, who is very good-looking, and carries a giant sword on his back, he must be a great hero.

After running for a while, she finally arrived home, and as soon as she pushed open the wooden door, she excitedly shouted, "Childe, look what I brought back." ”

In the house, a handsome young man was adding firewood to the stove, it was Zhu Yanjin.

That day, he took the white cat to walk for a day against the wind and snow, and finally walked out of the ice field and came to Zhangjia Village, where he was taken in by the hunter Zhang Laoweng, and Xiaozhu was Zhang Laoweng's granddaughter.

Today is the third day, and Zhu Yanjin's body has almost recovered.

He looked up at Xiaozhu at the door and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, it must be a good wine." ”

"Childe is so smart, this is given by the third aunt in the village, drink it to ward off the cold, I will heat the wine first. ”

As he spoke, Xiaozhu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white little hands, carefully set up the wine jar in his arms on the stove, and then roasted the fire by the fire by the way.

"Childe, where are you from?"

"Pingzhou people. Zhu Yanjin was silent for a moment and replied.

The Xinwang Mansion is located in Pingzhou. Zhuyan Jin is now the illegitimate son of King Xin, and he originally wanted to rush directly to Pingzhou City and contact King Xin's mansion.

However, in the winter in the northern region, the road was closed by heavy snow, and he could not go to Pingzhou City at all, so he could only stay in Zhangjia Village and wait for the next spring to set off again.

"Grandpa said that Pingzhou City is the largest city in our northern region, much larger than our village, and there are endless rock sugar gourds, I really want to see it in the future. ”

Xiaozhu smirked, immersed in the fantasy of Pingzhou City, for her, a little girl who had never left the village, the prosperous Pingzhou City was the most beautiful dream.

Looking at this innocent little girl, Zhu Yanjin smiled, he was really touched.

"If you have a chance in the future, I will take you to Pingzhou City to play, and invite you to eat rock sugar gourd. ”

"Really, Childe is so nice. ”

Xiaozhu was so excited that he grabbed Zhu Yanjin's hand and danced around, like a rabbit who saw a radish.

Zhu Yanjin smiled and nodded, a simple sentence can make an innocent little girl happy for several days, anyway, it will be in the future, why not?

"Childe, you can walk through the ice field unscathed, you must not be an ordinary person, have you ever encountered a demon beast in the ice field on the road?"

Xiaozhu changed the subject, blinked the pair of watery eyes, and looked at Zhu Yanjin curiously, a little girl of her age especially likes to listen to some stories of heroes slaying demons and eliminating demons.

"Of course I've encountered it, that demon beast is very big, and it looks a little good. ”

Zhu Yan Jin gushed endlessly: "However, I have seen a lot of this kind of demon beast, and I have experience in dealing with it. ”

"And then, is the monster dead?"

Xiao Zhu's eyes widened, and he grabbed Zhu Yan Jindi's sleeve and asked impatiently.

"Then I ran, and in my experience, the bigger the monster, the slower it moved, so I easily shook it off. ”

In the past few days, Zhu Yanjin has found fun in his boring life, that is, to tease the little girl.

"Poof. ”

Xiao Zhu was disappointed, this was not the hero he imagined to defeat the bad demon beast, she lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head again and looked at Zhu Yanjin's sword.

"Childe, your sword is very peculiar, it must be a divine weapon. ”

"The vision is good, this is made of Nine Heavens Meteorite, the only one in the Three Realms. ”

Zhu Yanjin stood up triumphantly, grasped the hilt of the sword, and introduced it to Xiao Zhu.

"Any divine soldier will be cut off when he touches this sword, this is definitely the nemesis of the divine soldier, the sword is a good sword, however, there is a shortcoming. ”

"What are the drawbacks?"

Xiao Zhu put his little face close to the giant sword and asked eagerly.

Zhu Yanjin carried the sword body and said seriously: "It's too heavy, it's a bit laborious to escape with it." ”

“......”

"Hahahaha, Xiaozhu, I'm not a hero, it's so tiring to be a hero to save people, it's better to find a place to eat comfortably and wait for death......"

"Childe is talking nonsense again, ignore you!"

The two chatted in the room for a while and took a few sips of hot wine. Soon, Xiaozhu was drunk and fell asleep by the fire with a flushed face.

Zhu Yanjin put away the smile on his face and took a cotton coat to cover Xiaozhu.

He picked up the jar and drank it alone, looking lost.

After experiencing that incident, his cultivation was completely lost, and he didn't have a trace of spiritual power in his body, just a wasted person.

used to be the leader of this generation, and he was proud of the spring breeze, but now he struggled to even lift his sword, and he created people to chase and kill, and he had no power to fight back.

Zhu Yanjin took another sip of hot wine, looked at his hands, and thought thoughtfully.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and at the same time, they have gained a kind of strength while cultivating to the end.

Thanks to that mysterious power, he was "killed" many times and was still alive.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and three people walked in. The leader is a hunchbacked old man, who is Xiaozhu's grandfather Zhang Laoweng, and behind him is an old man and a red-faced man.

Zhang Laoweng nodded to Zhu Yanjin first, and then introduced Zhu Yanjin to the two people behind him:

"This is the son who came to the village to spend the night a few days ago. ”

The old man hurriedly complimented Zhu Yanjin: "The son is extraordinary, he must be from a famous family in Pingzhou, can you tell the old man?"

Zhu Yanjin probably guessed the identity of this old man, he was the village chief of Zhangjia Village, he had met him when he first came to the village, and he was a relatively peaceful old man.

"It's not a famous family, it's just a small family, and some family backgrounds. ”

At present, the situation is unclear, and Zhu Yanjin does not dare to reveal his identity, so as not to attract the pursuit of the killer again, so he has to cover up the past with two random sentences.

The village chief obviously didn't believe Zhu Yanjin's words, but he didn't ask any further.

Zhu Yanjin noticed the red-faced man next to the village chief, looking at his appearance, he didn't look like a native of the Central Plains, he should be a wizard from the Western Regions mentioned by Xiaozhu.

Zhu Yanjin sensed that there was a strange spiritual power on the wizard's body, and with a bloody aura, he instantly became alert.

But the wizard didn't care too much about Zhu Yanjin, but paid more attention to the sleeping Xiaozhu on the side.

At this time, Zhang Laoweng woke up Xiaozhu and introduced to the wizard: "This is the old granddaughter, beautiful and clever, hahahaha." ”

Zhang Laoweng was proud of his tone, proud of having such a granddaughter.

The village chief also followed suit: "Lord Wizard, you see, this kid looks so smart." ”

The wizard looked at Xiao Zhu carefully a few times, and showed a satisfied smile: "It's really good, that's how it is." ”

After listening, Zhang Laoweng smiled, the folds at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together, and he thanked the wizard again and again, and the whole person seemed to be a few years younger.

After a few pleasantries, the village chief and the wizard left.

Zhang Laoweng held Xiaozhu's hand and said excitedly: "Our family has winter food, and the wizard said that as long as you go and cooperate with him to complete a ritual, he will give us winter food, plus ten taels of silver." ”

Ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money for ordinary people, enough for them to live for several years.

Xiaozhu rubbed her sleepy eyes, she was not fully awake, and looked at Zhang Laoweng blankly, although she didn't understand, but when she saw her grandfather smiling happily, she also laughed.

Zhu Yanjin on the side was thoughtful, he always felt that things were not so simple, was it really just a simple ceremony?

Seeing the smirking grandson, he sighed softly, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

Let's hope it really turns out to be what they want.
