It is located in the south and is warm all year round.

And in this deep mountain and old forest, the temperature difference between day and night is also quite large, at night, the cool breeze in the mountains, and the climate is already humid, if you wear thin, it will inevitably feel a little cold.

It was late at night, and the people in the small village at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain had already fallen asleep, and the whole village fell into silence and peace.

Chen Tianze, who was not drunk, slowly appeared in the village, walking slowly along the irregular country road, while looking at the buildings around him.

When he passed by here during the day, he just glanced at it from a distance, and felt that it was no different from an ordinary village, but those two young and immature children made Chen Tianze's heart a little weird. Walking in the village, Chen Tianze suddenly realized that this village seemed to be a little weird.

The lights are dark, and almost all the hundreds of houses in the village are like this, and it may seem strange to outsiders that the night is dark, and the farmers go to bed early after a busy day. But as a person who has lived in the village for ten years, it is not normal to be too quiet.

Even during the busy farming season, at least one or two families in the village will go to bed late at night, so it will not be so quiet. In addition, farmers usually raise dogs, and there will be occasional barking at night. And this village is too quiet, quiet and a little weird.

Chen Tianze walked forward slowly, and the doubts in his heart were even worse.

Suddenly, at the end of the village, Chen Tianze saw a dim firelight, and his heart was overjoyed, so he quietly leaned in.

The place where the fire was lit was a dilapidated house at the end of the village, which was said to be a house, but in fact it was a simple shack that had fallen into disrepair and collapsed half of its side. It was in this shack that could not be called a house at all that there was a burst of fire.

The campfire was not big, just a handful, so it was not noticeable in the dark night.

There were also two people sitting around the campfire, one large and one small, a man and a woman. The eldest was a boy, who looked like thirteen or fourteen, and the youngest was a little girl, about seven or eight years old, one big and one small, with very thin clothes, leaning against the bonfire and shivering, obviously, this bonfire could not ward off the cold at all.

"Xiao Ai, is it still cold?" the older boy carefully added a piece of firewood to the bonfire, then turned his head to look at the younger girl, and asked softly.

"Neither lukewarm. The girl called Xiao Ai was still trembling, but she still shook her head stubbornly, and said, "Brother, why don't we put out the fire, what if it is seen by the people on the mountain?"

The boy stubbornly shook his head, reached out and rubbed his sister's messy hair, and said coldly: "Are they also human? Ignore them, and kill them when my brother grows up." ”

"But brother, when are we going to grow up?" the little girl clasped her hands on her knees and looked at the campfire in a daze.

"It's going to grow up soon, soon, trust me. The boy clenched his fists, his eyes resolute.

"I don't want to grow up. The little girl suddenly said softly and weakly, and said, "When I grow up, I will be caught by those people on the mountain, isn't Sister Liu next door just like that, she was only thirteen years old and was taken away by the people on the mountain." Uncle Liu is not happy to be looked at with a pair of hands, brother, let's not grow up, okay. ”

The boy turned his head, suddenly red-eyed, and fell silent.

A gurgling sound sounded, obviously, from the little girl's belly. The boy stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, then turned his head to look at his sister and said, "Hungry, brother, go find you something to eat." “

"No, no, no. The little girl deliberately straightened her belly and said with a smile: "Half of the sweet potato has been eaten in the afternoon, and I won't be hungry when I fall asleep." Besides, it's so late, brother, where are you going to find something to eat? ”

The boy sighed heavily, then rubbed his face and said, "Go to bed early." ”

One big and one small, leaning on the rough thatch, slowly fell asleep.

Chen Tianze has been standing in the dark, and the conversation between the two brothers and sisters has also clearly entered his ears. Of course, Chen Tianze is no stranger to these two people in the shack, it turned out to be the big and small ones he met during the day, one shot himself with an arrow, and the other bit himself, how could people not remember?

After listening to this simple conversation, Chen Tianze subconsciously looked at the mountain, but the trees were layered and towering, and he couldn't see through what was there.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Tianze's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

The little boy and the girl fell asleep drowsily on the thatch, hoping to dream of some delicious food in their sleep. I just never thought that the dream would really come true.

There was a faint fragrance in the air, and as a breeze blew, the fragrance became stronger.

The little girl in her sleep smashed her mouth, saliva was about to flow out, and even the little boy frowned, and subconsciously covered his stomach with his arm.

In the middle of the night, the little girl woke up suddenly, sat up and saw that the small bonfire in front of her had gradually been extinguished, and hesitated, but the little girl still mustered up the courage to add a little firewood to it, otherwise it would be too cold.

After adding firewood, the little girl turned her head to look at her brother who was still asleep, and subconsciously rubbed her stomach, so hungry, the fragrance she smelled when she first dreamed was so fragrant!

Wait a minute!

At this time, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pinched herself, a pain came, and she didn't fall asleep, but the fragrance was still there, and it was clearly in front of her!

After hesitating for a moment, the little girl glanced at her brother, who was still asleep, then got up and crept out of the shack, wanting to glance outside, and was instantly startled.

I saw a big bonfire burning under the dilapidated wall outside the shack, and in front of the bonfire sat a man, a man, roasting meat on the bonfire! Two big fat pheasants were bubbling hot oil on the bonfire, and they smelled so good!

The little girl estimated that she had never seen such a fat pheasant, and her eyes looked directly at the bonfire, and she forgot to see who that person was!

"Are you hungry?" asked the man sitting in front of the campfire as he quickly spotted the uninvited guest.

The little girl was suddenly startled, and hurriedly took a step back, looking at the man with vigilant eyes, it was a man, and he was wearing a white mask, and he sat here in the middle of the night to barbecue meat? The little girl's head was a little unable to turn, perhaps frightened by the people on the mountain, the little girl hurriedly shook her head, signaled that she was not hungry, and then retracted into the shack.

Barbecued here in the middle of the night, who else could have such a mood but Chen Tianze? It's just that because he had seen those two children during the day, he was afraid of scaring them, so he put on a mask.

Seeing that the little girl was so afraid, Chen Tianze didn't force it, just took care of his own barbecue, humming an unknown little tune, his mind flowed, and he thought of the little girl in Sangyu. If you guessed correctly, Chen Tianze would see her soon, after all, Xiuning Palace was in this Yinzhou.

After a while, the little girl quietly stuck her head out again, obviously unable to resist the temptation of the rich fragrance.

Chen Tianze didn't look at her this time, but just chuckled: "I can't eat it alone, it would be a pity to throw it away, do you want to eat it together?" Don't worry, I'm not one of those people on the mountain, I have no malice." ”

The little girl standing behind the broken wall was visibly hesitant, but she didn't dare to take a step forward.

Chen Tianze couldn't cry or laugh, so he casually tore off a chicken leg from the steaming oily water and fragrant pheasant, chewed it on his own, and shouted that it was delicious.

When the little girl saw this scene, her saliva was about to flow down, and she hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to walk out of the dilapidated low wall, stood about a foot away from Chen Tianze, and stretched out her hand towards Chen Tianze, the meaning was obvious: Give it to me!

Chen Tianze smiled and reached out to hand her a greasy chicken leg, but he was full of emotion in his heart.

After hearing the conversation between the little girl and the little boy earlier, Chen Tianze finally understood why the two of them were so hostile to Chen Tianze during the day, and why the little boy's eyes were full of determination after shooting an arrow! Because the entire village, including the two brothers and sisters, did not deliberately live under this Qingfeng Mountain at all, but were raised!

In the past, Chen Tianze has also seen this kind of record in some historical biographies, most of which occurred in some remote and isolated places, especially some extremely barbaric and rare ethnic groups. The so-called support means that some powerful local people, or local tycoons, in order to ensure the improvement of their own combat effectiveness and the supply and demand of all aspects, will set up villages not far from their own villages. Most of the people in the village were taken captive from other places, and special people were sent to guard these unarmed people, so that they could work and cultivate the village, and the women were used by the people in the village to vent their desires, no different from slaves. Once a child is born in the cottage, they are instilled with the most vicious thoughts, so that they can grow up to serve the cottage.

This kind of thing has been officially banned by the Holy Empire hundreds of years ago, and once it is discovered, the entire cottage will face the situation of being wiped out, so this kind of thing has almost disappeared in the Holy Empire, but why does it appear here?

It seemed that seeing that the man wearing a white mask in front of him really had no malice, the little girl holding the chicken leg while gnawing slowly leaned towards the scorching bonfire, hesitated, and said softly: "Thank you!"

Chen Tianze, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at this little girl, his eyes were full of sincerity, and his heart couldn't help but warm up.

The little girl grinned and hesitated, "Can you leave some for my brother, he hasn't eaten for a day." ”

Chen Tianze generously handed the remaining pheasant to the little girl, and the little girl happily held the pheasant and got up and ran to the shack.

After entering the shack, she woke up her sleeping brother, and the little girl put the pheasant in her hand in front of the little boy with a happy face. The little boy was overjoyed at first, and then exclaimed, "Where did this thing come from?"

The little girl replied truthfully: "A big brother sent it, just outside." ”

The boy frowned, obviously much more sophisticated than the little girl, and did not take the chicken leg for the first time, but directly got up and pulled his sister to the outside of the shack, but except for a bonfire that was still burning, there was no one.

The little boy couldn't figure it out for a while, it was definitely not the bastards on the mountain who could do this kind of thing, they weren't so kind. But who would dare to come here at the risk of being killed?

Holding the steaming pheasant, the little boy was a little stunned.

"It's really a big brother, wearing a mask, and he's such a nice person. The little girl said happily, and as she reached out and pulled out a chicken leg, she handed it to her brother.

The little boy pursed his lips and muttered, "Where are the good people?"

It's just that the little boy took the greasy and fragrant chicken leg.

Chen Tianze was not in a hurry to leave, but after quietly wandering around the village, he ran towards the south of the village, and finally stayed in a courtyard, and then gently pushed the door in.

The room was snoring, wine jars were piled up everywhere, the room was full of smoky wine, and on the messy bed on the side, there were several saber men sleeping here!

Sure enough, it was the people of Qingfeng Mountain who were guarding here.

Chen Tianze tugged at the corners of his mouth, and after scanning the house, he casually picked up a jar of aged wine that had not yet been opened, and then grabbed one of the big men casually, and wanted to go out directly.

The big man who slept soundly was dragged out of the door and still didn't wake up, Chen Tianze was too lazy to be polite, reached out and grabbed his face, and squeezed his hands.

Click.

The man's jaw was directly pinched and dislocated by Chen Tianze, and the severe pain directly made the big man wake up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a terrifying white mask, and he was instantly startled. It's just that he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but found that his jaw couldn't be closed, and he couldn't say a word, and he wanted to get up, but the man directly grabbed his neck and couldn't move at all.

The strong man looked frightened, looking at this guy who came suddenly, his drunken and hazy head couldn't turn around, but before he could speak, the man sneered lightly: "Since you like to drink so much, it's better to drink to death!"

After that, Chen Tianze directly picked up the jar, pinched the strong man's neck with one hand, and poured it down fiercely.

The man struggled violently, but still did not move, and the whole mess of fine wine was soon poured into the mouth and stomach of the strong man, and the man had already drunk a lot of wine, and now he was drunk to death by such a pour. According to Chen Tianze's calculations, if this jar of wine goes down, it is a problem for this person to live, and it is estimated that he will not want to drink again in the next life.

Chen Tianze casually threw away the wine jar and turned to leave
