Tang Xi sat on the wooden chair, looked at the five big characters, and showed a hint of sigh. Tang Xi remembered the scene when Han's mother was leaving. I thought I could leave with Han's mother, but the boy of Tianchi not only refused, but also brought himself to Tianchi.

After blowing out the oil lamp, Tang Xi walked out of the door with a bamboo sword and watched the heavy snow falling in the courtyard. I seemed to see a woman in the snow, holding a bamboo sword, swinging it, and occasionally smiling at herself. Tang Xi walked into the courtyard and danced the bamboo sword along his memory. The swordsmanship is light and the steps are graceful. Tang Xi even remembered where Han Ningzhu landed at every step.

After half a cup of tea, Tang Xi put away the bamboo sword and recovered from his memories. Walked outside the courtyard and looked at the peach blossom forest under the mountain. It's just that the peach blossom forest at this time, in the dark, seems to be nothing.

An hour later, Tang Xi returned to the empty courtyard. When I was about to go back to the house and go to the bottom of the lake, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums in Taoyuan Village. Tang Xi knew that this was a sign that something big had happened in the village. It's like when I was young, I burned down the peach blossom forest. Tang Xi held the bamboo sword and ran towards the sound source.

After a few jumps, Tang Xi appeared in front of Zhao San's house. I saw Zhao San crying and beating gongs and drums.

"Third uncle, what's going on?" Tang Xi was the first to come to the door of Zhao San's house, looked at the panicked Zhao San and asked.

Tang Xi looked at the corral where Zhao San pointed to the burning torches, and saw that there was no livestock in the corral, even the old ox tied to the stake was gone, and the only thing left was a thick hemp rope.

Tang Xi walked to the corral and looked around carefully, but found no trace, or more than ten years ago, and disappeared mysteriously. In all these years, there has been no such thing since torches were lit next to each corral. I didn't think that ten years later, it would appear again.

The villagers who got up gathered at Zhao San's house with torches, and after learning the answer, the villagers were panicked.

"Tang boy, have you found anything?" the old village chief's sturdy body looked at Tang Xi in a cotton jacket.

Ten years ago, it was Tang Xi who used the method of lighting torches to calm the villagers of Taoyuan Village, and now everyone is looking at Tang Xi. It seems that Tang Xi has become the savior of Taoyuan Village.

"Tang Xi, what do you think, my old scalper is gone, what should I do if I am called to start spring next year?" Zhao San grabbed Tang Xi's clothes.

Just when Tang Xi was about to comfort Zhao San, a roar came from the house where the old Xu Tou lived next door. Tang Xi left Zhao San and rushed towards Lao Xutou's house.

Tang Xi shook the door open, only to see that the house was empty, and even Lao Xu Tou disappeared into the house. Tang Xi lit the oil lamp on the wooden table, smelling a hint of blood in the cold air.

Old Xu Tou is now an old man in his eighties, and he is considered an old man in Taoyuan Village. Due to physical inconvenience, I have been in the room all the time. Lao Xutou's wife died early, and he had a son, who went out once and never came back. Fortunately, under the care of everyone in Taoyuan Village, Lao Xu Tou barely survived.

Tang Xi looked at the neat cotton shoes and the crutches at the head of the bed, so he put his hand into the futon, and the futon was still hot. Lao Xu Tou's room was not very big, and after Tang Xi searched around, he didn't see any foreign objects.

"What the hell is going on, old Xutou?" a few bold villagers walked into Lao Xutou's house, as if talking to themselves.

Tang Xi came to the old village chief, shook his head, and signaled that he hadn't found anything.

The cold wind is blowing, and the snow is falling.

The villagers gathered, no one spoke, and everything fell silent. Only the burning torches in the hands of the villagers made a "crackling" sound in the air.

"It's going to be dawn, you go back, I'll look around." After a while, Tang Xi broke his silence and said.

When the old village chief saw that Tang Xi had said it, he dispersed with everyone. Tang Xi's figure appeared next to the livestock pens, but he didn't find anything. After Tang Xi returned to Han's house, except for the burning torches in the backyard, the pheasants had long since disappeared cleanly. Tang Xi didn't know that when Han's mother was leaving, she had already given the family's livestock to the villagers.

Tang Xi returned to the room, opened the mechanism on the wall, and came to the bottom of the lake.

The Tianchi boy still sat on the futon as always, closing his eyes and recuperating. Tang Xi even had some doubts that the Tianchi boy and the Tianchi Xuangui were not the same person. Except for his hair, clothes, and appearance, he sat there motionless every day.

"Old liar, the livestock in Taoyuan Village disappeared inexplicably, and now even Lao Xu Tou has disappeared, you don't care. Tang Xi saw that the Tianchi boy was sitting there motionless, and said a little angrily.

In Tang Xi's opinion, this Taoyuan Village is the scope of Tianchi Boys, and if these villagers can live here, they will definitely not ignore it.

"Other people's life and death, what does the old man matter. Besides, Zhao San made you wronged because of his underwear, not only did you not get angry, but also helped him, if the old man had stabbed him to death with one finger. Tianchi Boy crooked his mouth and continued: "These fools, what else can they do besides farming, they have never paid attention to others, even if you have disappeared for so long, they have ever cared. The mother and son of the Han family have been away for many days, but they don't know that there are few people in the village. ”

Tianchi Boy didn't say it, Tang Xi didn't think it either. Tang Xi also felt strange about this.

"Okay, if you want to be a hero, go find the whole story, don't bother the old man. Tianchi Boy said softly.

After Tang Xi left the bottom of the lake, he returned to his room, sat on the bed, and recalled the words of the Tianchi boy.

Tang Xi remembered that when he was in the ancestral hall of heaven and earth, those Tang clothes, every time they went out, returned late or did not return, they would ask long and short questions, showing concern. And the people here seem to have nothing to do with your appearance or disappearance.

But when he thought of Lao Xutou, Tang Xi didn't think what Tianchi Boy said was reasonable. Old Xu Tou is old and frail, but the villagers take care of him like children.

"Hey!" Tang Xi sighed and shook his head, suppressing his chaotic thoughts.

Tang Xi wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, but he heard the sound of "bang" from outside the courtyard. The sound is so thin that if you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear it in the cold wind. If it weren't for Tang Xi's soaring power now, he wouldn't have heard such a small voice.

Tang Xi got out of bed, walked to the corner of the courtyard, jumped over the courtyard wall, and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw that less than three zhang away from Tangxi, on the white snow, there was movement, and the speed was fast.

Tang Creek followed, following the moving snow. Tang Xi was already sure at this time that this thing was under the snow. Tang Xi didn't rush to make a move, but chose to follow.

After half a cup of tea, after Tang Xi was taken to Zhao San's house, the things under the snow stopped moving. Tang Xi didn't think much about it, stretched out two fingers, and pointed at the snow. The snow was under Tang Xi's fingers, revealing a hole. Tang Xi walked over, vigilantly, and kicked it with his foot.

The snow cleared, revealing a white bone.

Tang Xi kicked a few more times, and the white bones were slowly revealed, and it turned out to be a human bone. Tang Xi kicked away the surrounding snow again, revealing a human skeleton, and then Tang Xi also found several white bones of livestock, and on the white bones there was a beetle like snow, the body was crystal clear, and it was difficult to find its existence if you didn't look at it carefully.
