Chapter 21: A Strange Village

The two walked a short distance before they saw a "tribe". The reason why it is said to be a tribe is because everything here is extremely poor, the houses are just rag tents, and the people's clothes are in tatters, and some even only cover their bodies with animal skins and leaves, which looks like a primitive tribe.

The people of this tribe were extremely vigilant, and as soon as they saw two people coming out of the woods, many of them immediately unsheathed their swords, stretched their bows and arrows, and shouted in unison: "Who?!"

When he saw the faces of Feng Xiyue and the others, he seemed to be relieved and put down his weapons. Someone muttered, "Scared me, it turned out to be two little children." ”

Feng Xiyue showed an innocent smile: "Hello, my brother and I are tired of walking, can we rest here for a while?"

It stands to reason that normal people will not hesitate to agree to the request made by a child like Feng Xiyue, but they have any scruples about resting for a while. But several middle-aged people on the other side showed hesitant looks, and one of them stepped forward and said: "I'm really sorry, we are very poor here, I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain you well, you should be accompanied by a family master when you come out to play, right? Wouldn't it be better for them to take you to the city below the mountain to rest." ”

It seems that they regard the two of them as Miss Childe who comes out to play in the big family. Yuan Tiangui frowned, and was about to step forward to speak, but was pulled by Feng Xiyue.

I saw Feng Xiyue pouting, and said with some grievances: "But we sneaked out and didn't bring an entourage...... It's a bit far from the city, I can't walk......"

The few people on the other side were still a little hesitant, but their expressions eased a lot, especially when they heard that they didn't have a master with them. The middle-aged man's eyes flickered for a long time, and he was about to speak, when an old voice sounded first: "Then let them in, it's okay to take a break." ”

The middle-aged man immediately said respectfully, "Yes, village chief." Then he nodded to Feng Xiyue and the others: "Come in, two children, don't dislike us for being shabby here." ”

Feng Xiyue pulled Yuan Tian and walked towards this "tribe", his heart full of doubts. These people talk politely, their clothes are tattered but neat, and they don't eat with their hands, they all use tools, and they are obviously not primitive tribes. Look at the middle-aged man who called the old man who spoke last as the village chief, these people should be born in villages and towns, why would they move to live in such a remote place?

After walking a few steps, the two of them stopped in unison, because there was an old man in front of him who walked out of the tent and looked at the two with a smile.

The old man said kindly: "Two little friends, if you don't dislike it, you can come and sit in the old tent." It was the voice of the village chief from before.

Yuan Tiangui looked at Feng Xiyue, obviously feeling that this old man was extraordinary, and was asking for her opinion. Feng Xiyue nodded after a slight groan, and Yuan Tiangui immediately clenched his fists and said, "Then thank you, old man." ”

The old man took a deep look at Feng Xiyue, then turned around and entered the tent, and the two of them also walked in. The three of them sat down, and the old man looked at the two of them with blazing eyes: "The two little friends are young but have such cultivation, they are really handsome among people." I wonder why you want to visit our run-down village?"

Feng Xiyue said with a smile: "Grandpa has good eyesight, in fact, we are just curious why there are still people living in such a remote place." The conditions here are too poor, and it's not convenient to travel, so what's the trouble of the old man living here?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "The little girl is not simple, she speaks in a clear and straightforward manner, and the average family lady can't say this at the age of about eight or nine years old." ”

Feng Xiyue smiled: "I'm ten years old~"

The old man smiled noncommittally, and said, "Of course, there is a reason why we live in this kind of place, but the old man does not want to involve irrelevant people in danger again, so it is inconvenient to tell the reason. ”

Yuan Tiangui said: "But old man, it is not a way for so many of you to live here after all, we are also from a big family, maybe we can help if there are any difficulties, and we can find a better place for you to live at the worst." ”

The old man seemed to be a little moved, but he still shook his head: "This will cause a lot of trouble to your family, and those people are still ......" Speaking of this, he sighed: "We originally lived a normal life, next to a harmonious city, under the protection of a big family, who would have thought that the sky would suddenly change......"

Feng Xiyue suddenly raised her head: "Has the old man lived here for five years?"

The old man was slightly stunned before he said, "It's almost, it should be four and a half years......

Feng Xiyue continued to ask, "Did you ever live near Luofeng City?" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

As soon as the words came out, there was a silence in the tent, and after a long time, the old man raised his head and stared at her: "How are you sure?"

Feng Xiyue said in a deep voice: "First of all, the people in this village basically don't know martial arts, this kind of ordinary people are supernumerary personnel or labor force that every big family has, and no family will take the initiative to expel you from leaving; Looking at the conditions here, it is clear that you have not interacted with the outside world for a long time, so the reason for seeking revenge can also be ruled out; besides, the old man just said that you used to have a big family to protect you, so it is impossible for bandits to rob or anything. ”

"To sum up, I can only think of Luofeng City that was slaughtered. Feng Xiyue nodded slightly to the old man: "And the time is completely right." ”

Yuan Tiangui is completely sluggish, my God, she has come up with so many things just with the old man's words, how does this little head work?!Why didn't I think of anything......
