Chapter 52 An inch of grass is difficult to report three Chunhui
The combat power of the two Ming Dao Realm cultivators is indeed very different from that of the mountain jackals whose spiritual wisdom has not yet been fully civilized. Except for the unconscious and the dead, the rest of the jackals limped into the twilight.
The little brother wiped his hands on his clothes, and he lost the interest in continuing to play, and a pair of eyebrows that had not yet fully grown frowned tightly, looking at the baby who had fallen asleep in his arms, and he didn't know what to think.
The sun sets in the distance, the light in the mountains gradually blurs, and the temperature becomes cold and humid. Xing Xie confirmed that there was no abnormality in his arms because of the battle just now, and then said to the little junior brother, "It should be the children of the people in the village, send them back." β
It seems that from the very beginning, the little junior brother felt that the baby was a trouble, and he expressed his thoughts with a complicated expression that should not be at this age, "Maybe others can't afford to raise it and deliberately put it here, if there is no one in the village to claim it, wouldn't it be a burden." β
"Probably not, this child has a ruddy complexion, and the cotton cloth used to wrap it is also a good material, and the family who gave birth to him must be okay, not the appearance of a poor family. Even if it is really an abandoned baby, we can't ignore it, they are all fatherless and motherless orphans, and we should do something for him. β
The little junior brother expected that the Star Evil would say this, so he was noncommittal and sighed slightly.
The village in the mountain nest is not as good as the city, about to touch the dinner, everyone has nothing to do, and they are reluctant to light the lamp, so they all go to bed early, only a few families have charcoal fires, the papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows are red, the star evil led the little brother, along the faintly recognizable dirt road, gently knocked on the door of one of the houses.
The one who opened the door was a middle-aged village woman, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, who slept in a daze, and it took a long time to open her already small eyes. Xu is the village has not been in the village for a long time, she stared at the two star evil in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while. At this time, a man's scolding voice came from the house: "What are you crazy about at night, hurry up and close the door, the cold wind will pour in in the winter and kill people!"
"Someone's coming......" The village woman suppressed her voice, as if she was afraid of arguing with someone at night.
"Who's here?" the man asked.
"There is an afterlife. β
"What are you talking about?" There was a churning sound in the room, and after a while, a man's face appeared in the door, and the man looked at Xing Xie and the little junior brother carefully, and did not speak for a long time.
In the cold winter, the couple blocked the door with a ghostly expression, and it was not impossible to enter, if it was according to the temper in Shuanglian Town, the little junior brother would have already crossed his waist and scolded people, but it is a pity that the senior brother is beside him, it is better to restrain himself.
Xing Xie raised his hand and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry to disturb the two of you at night, I just picked up an abandoned baby on the mountain, it should be a child left by a family in this village, please tell one of you that someone in the village has lost a child in the past two days?"
The couple noticed the baby being held by the younger brother and looked at each other.
"I've never heard of anyone who has lost a child, don't ask us. The man waved his hand and slammed the door shut.
"You fucking ......" the little junior brother screamed strangely, and was about to knock on the door again, but was stopped by the star evil, who made a silent gesture and signaled the little junior brother to be quiet.
The village at night was not absolutely silent, and from time to time there were sounds such as the cracking of firewood, the snoring of reckless men, the clatter of rats knocking over pots and pans, and beneath these ordinary sounds, there was something even more unusual: the faint sobbing of a woman could be heard in another lighted room not far from the two of them.
"Go to that house. β
Xing Xie carefully tidied up the sleeves of himself and his little brother, and within a few steps came to the house where the cry came from, this house has a regular structure, the steps are neat, and the paint color of the door post is also bright and intact, at first glance, it is a new house that has just been built, and there are two eye-catching "Xi" characters pasted on the wooden door, it seems that the residents are newly married couples.
Maybe it's the right time, and the star demon gently knocks on the door.
The door was unlocked from the inside, so it opened quickly, but unexpectedly an old man leaned out inside. The old man glanced at Xing Xie and the little junior brother a few times, and then his eyes were quickly attracted by the child in the arms of the little junior brother, he stared at the baby carefully, and then made a gesture of "please" towards the house, and said gratefully: "The two nobles are really timely rain, I am the village chief of this village, and the couple inside went up the mountain to chop wood and lost the child yesterday, and the whole village searched for a night and did not find it, this will not be discussing the way again." We are famous for many wolves here, and the villagers feel that the child is more auspicious and less auspicious, and I don't want this doll to have a great fortune, and I met two nobles who saved my life, please come in quickly. β
The village chief was polite. The star evil saluted, and the village chief led the way into the house.
As Xing Xie guessed, this family's family background is indeed good, the hall is brightly lit, and the warm flame makes people want to sleep, if it weren't for the loss of the child, what a happy and warm family of three it would be.
Compared to the comfortable environment, the people in the house are a different scene. The first thing that caught their eye was a young woman with a disheveled head, slumped on the ground, her face covered with tears, while the man beside her sat on a chair, hanging his head and smoking a dry cigarette without saying a word.
The woman saw the baby in the arms of the little junior brother at first sight, she staggered and pounced, almost trembling and put the child into her arms, howling and crying, the little junior brother looked at her like this, for fear that she would throw the child to the ground.
The man looked at the old village chief and then at his daughter-in-law, and he didn't know what to do for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself loudly, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Xing Xie and the little junior brother.
Star Demon stepped forward and held the man steadily, "Don't do this, we're happy to reunite your family." β
"It's just, crying, it's a good thing that the doll has found it. The old village chief smiled at the man and said, "You don't treat these two life-savers badly, you want to be entertained with good wine and meat tonight." β
"Definitely, definitely!" the man nodded vigorously, "Please let the two benefactors stay longer, don't dare to say anything else, my family is a first-class cooker, flying in the sky and running on the ground, and I have to get the two of them to have a good time by smashing pots and selling iron in the wilderness." β
"If I don't practice fake tricks, I'm going to starve to death. When the little junior brother heard that he was going to have a full meal, his mood improved a lot.
"Haha, good, good. The old village chief stroked his palms and laughed, "I'll go and cut off two pieces of marinated bacon at home, and a few pots of old wine that have been hidden for more than ten years. β
"Village Chief!" the man's face changed when he heard the village chief's words.
"What's wrong?" the old village chief was frightened by the man's voice, and glared at the man fiercely.
The man calmed down embarrassedly, and then said: "This is our family's business, I don't dare to let the village chief break the bank, the family has a lot of stockpiling, enough to entertain." β
"Nonsense, there are guests from afar, two young heroes are coming, I shrank in the house and let everyone see the joke?" the village chief scolded with a smile.
"It's not too early now, it's already disturbing for me and my junior brother to stay here, and I don't dare to trouble the village chief to entertain you. Star Evil said.
The village chief pretended to have an angry face, "What did the distinguished guest say, don't bother me, old man, wine and bacon will be brought tonight no matter what!"
"The village chief is gracious, so the two benefactors should not refuse. The man came out and played a round, "The village chief is this, you see that they have a long journey, and the time is not early, so they have to let people sleep peacefully, or do you want to bother the village chief to bring meat in the morning?"
The village chief gave the man a deep look, "That's up to you, I'll send you meat tomorrow morning, and that's it." β
"Okay. The man said dryly.
After some talking, the man had already instructed the woman to start cooking, and the village chief was about to say goodbye and go home, the little junior brother took off his shoes and socks at this time, and enjoyed the fire with his bare feet. β
The village chief, who had almost walked to the door, scratched his head with a smile when he heard this, "You said that they are like that, they are very cold, and no one in the village likes to take care of them, but there are very few people from outside our village, so don't blame them for being xenophobic." β
"There is food and drink here, so I don't care about them. The little junior brother waved his hand arrogantly, looking like a hero who scolded Fang Xuan.
The silent Star Evil sat down next to the little junior brother under the man's greeting, he looked at the little junior brother, and the little junior brother also noticed his gaze and made a grimace at him, looking very clever and cute.
Maybe a rough person is a little ashamed of himself in the face of a clean and gentle person like Xingxie, and the man who has been studying since he was a child can count the number of days he has studied with his fingers in addition to constantly pouring tea and water for Xingevil and his little junior brother, urging women to cook faster, he really can't think of any other place to communicate together, Xingxie saw the man's crampedness and spoke first.
"Your child was checked when we picked it up, and there was no major problem, but he had a little cold, and he could take some decoction. If there is no Langzhong in the village, I can also write you a few pairs of medicinal herbs. β
"What do you say, thank you for your kindness, I don't know how many generations of blessings our dolls have accumulated to meet a kind person like you. The man sighed, "The child was left in the mountains, and this area is full of jackals, tigers and leopards, although the villagers comfort us that there is still hope, but we know in our hearts that ......" Speaking of this, the man's throat choked, and he couldn't help himself.
"But isn't it, there are really a lot of wolves here, if it weren't for my senior brother's cultivation to the sky, I'm afraid he would have been divided by wolves in this mountain forest. The little junior brother said in a thoughtful manner.
"I really met a wolf!" the man exclaimed, "Seeing that you two are young, could it be that you two are legendary cultivators?"
"Not really. The little junior brother stood up from the ground, gestured with his hands, and was about to describe the sinister scene of the battle tonight, when the woman came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and made five dishes and one soup in a short time, all of which are good products with both color and flavor, especially the casserole duck soup in the middle, accompanied by winter melon and radish, which is fragrant, and is the best choice for warming up the body in winter.
Probably because the impact of these delicacies was so great that the little junior brother forgot what he was going to say, and froze in place staring at the plate motionlessly.
"What are you talking about, you have eaten, your benefactors are hungry, come and try my craft. The young woman took advantage of the cooking time to clean up her emotions and dress up a little, Ying Ying smiled a little bit more, but the little junior brother didn't have time to look around, he picked up the chopsticks and put a large piece of braised pork, and when he was about to eat, he suddenly stared at the smiling man next to him with a strange expression, and asked softly:
"Brother didn't poison the dish, did he?"
