The two joked, since Shen Xingyue wanted to go to the mortal world for a walk, Xiao Mo was naturally willing, and dried his clothes a little and walked out, fortunately, this is not a deep mountain and old forest, and after walking for a while, he saw the way out, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at it from a distance, he could vaguely see the people in the village. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although the mana was sealed, Shen Xingyue and Xiao Mo were still different from mortals, and they didn't feel tired after walking for a few hours, and in the evening, they finally walked to the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a very ordinary small village, it is dinner time, the smoke is curling, and it is peaceful and calm.

It seems that there is no inn in such a mountain village, Shen Xingyue and Xiao Mo randomly found a family to borrow for a night, the folk customs in the mortal world are still simple, and the two discussed it and said that the couple who went out to play met the robbers, and escaped in embarrassment, without food and clothing, I believe that they can find a kind family to take in them for a night.

After roughly correcting a few words, Xiao Mo knocked on the courtyard door in front of him, and looked at the courtyard, although it was a little chaotic, but in general, this family should be solid and hearty.

It was only after knocking on the door for a while that someone answered, and it was still a timid man's voice: "Yes, who is it?" ”

This tone seemed a little strange, Xiao Mo glanced at Shen Xingyue, and tried to make his voice as gentle as possible: "We are here to spend the night, we met a robber in the mountains and lost our horses, and we want to use it here for one night, me and my wife, two people." ”

Shen Xingyue added: "We will give money." ”

"......" Xiao Mo continued: "Yes, we will give money." ”

Three hundred years of being high, Xiao Mo really didn't say the word give money, and when he was reminded by Shen Xingyue, he remembered that he had no money on him.

Originally, Xiao Mo didn't go out of the North Styx Mountain if he was fine, even if he was out of the Temple of Gods and Demons, no matter where he went, someone arranged everything properly, and he never made him pay for it.

Shen Xingyue silently took out a money bag and handed it over, there was a lot of silver in it. She is always running around outside these days, and she really doesn't use less money, and her action of taking out money is also very smooth.

Using his wife's money is not a glorious thing, even if he is a demon venerable who treats money like dung, Xiao Mo still feels a faint shame, but then there is a voice from the door, discussing something.

Xiao Mo was about to stretch his hearing to listen carefully, the door creaked open, and a young man probed his brain, carefully stretched out half of his head, and looked very nervous on his face, after seeing that Xiao Mo and Shen Xingyue were really only two people, and they were all embarrassed, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door wider, and said, "Come in." ”

This seems to be something wrong, when Xiao Mo and Shen Xingyue entered the courtyard, the man quickly closed the door again, and then said very apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting." ”

The host was very polite, Xiao Mo naturally didn't have the majesty of the Demon Venerable at this time, but said: "Little brother is polite, it's us who want to disturb." My wife and I came out of the mountains, and saw that it was getting dark, and there seemed to be no inn nearby, so we had no choice but to spend the night and see how to get out tomorrow morning. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The young man was very polite: "Who has no difficulty outside, my mother always teaches me, and I can help a hand." But borrowing it for one night is not a hassle. By the way, you don't look like you haven't eaten yet, if you don't dislike it, just eat a few bites with us. ”

Although Shen Xingyue and Xiao Mo were embarrassed, their aura around them was undiminished, and the young man muttered a little in his heart, estimating that it was a big family that was in trouble, although he had no choice but to know if he could get used to this coarse tea and light meal.

Shen Xingyue and Xiao Mo are really not hungry, but the host is so enthusiastic, it is not good to show disgust, the young man in the house has an equally young wife, who is pregnant with Liujia, seeing that a guest is coming, she hurriedly got up, she also heard the outside conversation in the house, and her smile was very kind.

There are not so many things in the countryside and villages, and women have to show up to make a living, and there is no saying that they want to avoid seeing the living, so after the hostess saw Xiao Mo and Shen Xingyue, she did not plan to enter the house, but got up and went into the kitchen to add some food.

It doesn't seem to be a barren place, at least the food and drink on the table are not bad, there are no big fish and meat, but there are also meat and vegetarian food, Xiao Mo and the young man were polite, and then they also ate and drank.

The wine is the cheapest wine made by himself, strong and spicy, Xiao Mo drank it dry in one gulp, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic, when he was an exorcist, he had many days of eating and sleeping in the open, and he ate and drank not as well as now, but he seemed to be at ease.

Seeing that Xiao Mo seemed to have something on his mind, the young man couldn't help but say: "Do you have any difficulties, don't worry, our place is not remote, I will find you a carriage tomorrow and promise to send you back safely." ”

"Oh, I'm not worried about that." Xiao Mo smiled and said casually: "I'm wondering, is there something wrong with you here, seeing that everyone's life is good, but why are you so tightly guarded at this point, robbers in the mountains...... Did they also come down to harass the people? ”

"Where are the robbers in the mountains?" The young man sighed: "But it's not much different from the robbers, and the son and his wife must be from a prosperous place, so I haven't seen it and can't think of it." ”

Xiao Mo was embarrassed: "We are from Windy City. ”

"No wonder, no wonder." The young man said in a loud voice: "In a place like Windy City, which is close to the Imperial City, the people must live and work in peace and contentment, where it is like our border, if there is nothing to do, we will fight, hey, it is rare to live a peaceful life." ”

"War?" Shen Xingyue was stunned: "Who fights with whom?" ”

"Madame must not be very concerned with political affairs." The young man smiled a little bitterly: "Who else can it be, it's not the Hu clan and the Xu family army in the north, you have been fighting back and forth for several years, and this common people can have a good life." Our village was originally very lively, the land was fertile, there were many delicacies and wild game in the mountains, and everyone lived very well. But now, those who can go are gone, and those who can't go are worried every day. ”

The hostess touched her big belly and sighed: "This kid didn't come at the right time, to catch up with such a troubled world, and I don't know if I can ......"

Unable to go on, the young man hurriedly comforted his wife.

Shen Xingyue said: "Little brother, the Xu Jiajun you are talking about, is it a female general who is in charge now?" ”

"Yes, it's a female general, it is said that the Xu family has fought on the border for all these years, and the men have finished fighting, leaving only one daughter, who also went to the battlefield, this female general is said to be quite powerful, and she has been in a stalemate with the fierce Hu clan for a long time." The young man said: "It's just very strange, this Xu Jiajun was originally very strict in military law, and he never did anything to harass the people, but since he won a few battles, it seems to be a little loose...... Although it is indeed not easy for soldiers to fight on the front line, it is not easy for us ordinary people to live. ”

The husband and wife who ate a meal were a little sad, Xiao Mo was not good at comforting people, but Shen Xingyue was really kind to persuade him. Especially the hostess with a big belly, this fearful day must not affect the child in the belly.

Ordinary people don't have a guest room, after eating, the young man tidied up a room for the two of them to rest, they originally wanted to let the main house out, but how could Xiao Mo do his own bed to let a pregnant woman sleep on the floor, so he resolutely refused.

Fortunately, this utility room is not dirty, and the bed quilt is spread on the floor, so it is okay to rest for the night.

Shen Xingyue closed the door, sat down on the ground, and said, "This female general of the Xu family's army should be the reincarnation of Wu Chaoyang's wife, called Xu Yuye, do you know about this?" ”

"There's nothing I don't know about you." Xiao Mo said sweetly: "Xiao Yang said that the Xu family army was strict in military discipline at the beginning, and it didn't change until after winning a battle, which was obviously because of the appearance of Wu Chaoyang. Wu Chaoyang is a good general who can fight, but he may not be exemplary in other aspects. ”

After all, the border is not as prosperous as the imperial city, the emperor's highest requirements for the army, one is loyalty, the second is to be able to win battles, as for the rest, they will turn a blind eye, the soldiers carry their heads to kill the enemy in front, what's wrong with eating a few chickens in your house, what's wrong with beating a few people in your family? Even if the ruler knows that this is wrong, he will not be too strict.

As for the life of ordinary people, the imperial city is thousands of miles away, who cares.

"Then if you want to say that, then the innocent and injured people in this village, didn't I hurt them?" Shen Xingyue frowned and said, "If I hadn't released Wu Chaoyang, they wouldn't have been harmed. ”

"They're going to get hurt more, not less." Xiao Mo said: "Think about it, the Xu family army is fighting against foreign tribes, what will happen if they lose, the people and horses of the Hu tribe will go all the way south, they are not Xu family army, at least Xu family army is just eating and drinking, will not kill people and set fires, if the foreign tribe invades, I am afraid that even the entire village will be burned clean, and no one can escape." ”

This also makes sense, Shen Xingyue nodded and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a burst of fire outside, and it became noisy.

Shen Xingyue and Xiao Mo are now on the run after all, although no one thinks that Xu Shangyang can find them, Xiao Mo still said: "What's the matter, I'll take a look." ”

As he spoke, he got up and opened the door, but saw that the owner of the house, Xiao Lin, had also put on his clothes, and the look on his face was very nervous.

"What's going on?" Xiao Mo said: "Who is here?" ”

"It's Xu Jiajun, they're here again." The expression on Xiao Lin's face was disgusted, nervous, and scared.
