Chapter Forty-Four—A Paradise in the Wilderness

As soon as the sky was bright, the hearts of the flowers were condensed with drops of dew, and there were two or three frogs chirping in the distance, as if announcing that the night was gone and the dawn was about to break!

At this moment, Xiao Ergou and Yu'er had already packed their bags, led the horses out of the Shifting Flower Valley, greeted the morning light, and continued to march towards the destination Luofeng Forest!

The mountains in the distance are reckless, the clouds and mist are shrouded, as if wearing a veil of mystery, the rising red sun is gently hanging on the mountainside, everything is so peaceful and quiet, it is a beautiful picture!

At noon, the sun gradually rose, becoming no longer gentle, dispelling the thick fog, when the clouds became thinner, revealing the vague peaks, layer upon layer, like a brute beast opened its huge mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs, wanting to choose people and devour, giving people a sense of oppression!

When the sun sets, the night comes again, and the mountains lose their color and return to calm.

Isn't this just like a person's life, full of vitality at the beginning, but also mysterious, so that others can't see the future changes!

At noon, like that young man, full of strength and awe-inspiring!

When the sun sets, like the trembling old man, sighing at the twilight of the hero!

Xiao Ergou and Yu'er walked and stopped in the sunset, enjoying the various scenery along the way, looking at the clear sky and the clouds, it was also very pleasant!

When you are hungry, you can make some wild game and let Xiao Ergou cook it! Or you can fill your hunger with the cooked food you have stored before, and when you are tired, you will set up a tent to sleep and practice! Before you know it, it has been more than half a month!

"Xi Ge'er, look, there's a small village in front!" Because the map routes marked by Xiao Wugeng are mostly wilderness, not official routes, so they have always walked in inaccessible places, and it is also very surprising to see a small village in the wilderness here!

Xiao Ergou was sitting on horseback, thinking about tonight's accommodation, and after hearing Yu'er's words, he looked in the direction of Yu'er's finger!

I saw that there were seven or eight yellow mud as the base in front of me, and the thatched courtyard was repaired on the top, looking simple and old, I think it should be some years!

At this moment, the smoke is rising faintly, and there is an old dry and thin cow tied to the big tree at the head of the village surrounded by the mud courtyard.

A few skinny big yellow dogs are wagging their tails and barking and being chased by a group of barefoot children! From time to time, there are old people chasing chickens and birds and scolding naughty children!

The courtyard is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a little farmland next to it! It shows their self-sufficient life! It is really a paradise that is indisputable with the world, and Xiao Ergou yearns for it!

"Anyway, it's getting dark, why don't we spend the night here tonight?" Xiao Ergou couldn't help but say as he looked at this simple little village!

"Okay, Yu'er listens to Brother Xi!" Yu'er said obediently beside Xiao Ergou!

After Yu'er agreed, Xiao Ergou turned over and dismounted, led the horse side by side with Yu'er, and walked towards the entrance of the village!

"Young man who has traveled far away, where are you going, it's getting late, why don't you come into the village to drink saliva and eat something hot!" The old man who drove the chickens and poultry in the village was very kind and hospitable, and when he saw Xiao Ergou and the two of them leading the horses to come away, they greeted him very warmly!

"Old man, we are going to Luofeng Forest to practice, passing through here, if it is late today, I want to bother you to spend the night, I don't know if it is convenient?" Xiao Ergou looked at the wrinkled face of the old man, but said very politely when he came up with a cane with a smile!

A group of children chasing the yellow dog and frolicking saw someone coming, and ran over happily, chattering around Yu'er, as if praising Yu'er's beauty!

Yu'er took out a few pieces of candy from the storage bag and handed them out to the children, making them smile innocently!

"Thank you, sister, is my sister a fairy in the sky, so beautiful, none of the sisters who passed by our village before are as beautiful as my sister!"

"This little guy really can talk!" made Yu'er purse her lips and chuckle, happy!

"Are there often outsiders here?" Xiao Ergou asked with a surprised face after listening to the child's words, he felt that this village was so remote, there should be few outsiders passing by!

"It's not all the time, it's just that someone occasionally passes by here! Because our village is not far from the Luofeng Forest. That's why some people pass by here from time to time to stay overnight, and this coming and going will be remembered by these children!"

"Let's go, young man, welcome to your arrival, let's go to the house to talk first, drink some water, quench your thirst, tiger baby, let's go, go home!"

I saw a little boy of six or seven years old, with slightly dark skin and a high nose bridge, running over with big eyes!

The old man led his grandson and walked in front of him, leading the way to his house for Xiao Ergou!

"Uncle Zhao, have any far-traveled people passing by here? I haven't seen a long-distance traveler for a long time!" At this time, many women walked out of the nearby houses and greeted the old man who led the way!

"Yes, these two far-away travelers are going to Luofeng Forest! By the way, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, you said that your big cow and my idiot and a few of them went out hunting, and they should come back, right? It's getting dark!" the old man asked a middle-aged woman who looked slightly chubby after answering the woman's words one by one!

"Maybe it should be soon, they should go out hunting on weekdays, and they should be ...... at this time Hey, they're back!" Xiao Ergou watched as several swarthy middle-aged strong men outside the village carried iron forks, bows and arrows and other iron tools, dragging a wild boar in!

"yes, Daddy is back!" Tiger Baby, a group of little boys, looked at the man who dragged the wild boar back, and pounced happily!

"Don't make trouble, tiger baby, we have a good harvest today, we hunted a big boar of four or five hundred catties, but it really took a lot of effort, enough for our village to eat a whole thing, get out of the way." Let's drag the wild boar in!" said the old man with a foolish laugh!

Xiao Ergou looked at this middle-aged man not only not stupid, but also very shrewd, but the people in the village were simple and deliberately modest, Xiao Ergou hurriedly handed the reins to Yu'er and said, "Uncle, I'll help you." ”

"Oh, there are guests in the village? Haha, hello little brother, my name is Zhao Wufu, let's have a sumptuous dinner together in the whole village tonight!" Zhao's son introduced himself while beckoning Xiao Ergou to say to the woman next to him and the big man behind him!

After hearing this, everyone responded with a smile and went to Zhang Luo!

When Yu'er returned with the horses tied up under the leadership of the old man who was looking for a family, Xiao Ergou and everyone were already wild boars pulled into the village!

Zhao Wufu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Xiao Ergou who was carrying a spear and said, "I don't know where the little brother came from and where he is going?"
