In this dilapidated thatched hut, there is an old wooden table and four wooden chairs, on which is a teapot made of porcelain, which looks to have been used for a long time, and several large bowls are placed next to it.

"Four, the family is vulgar and the hospitality is not good, forgive me!" The old man said politely

"It's okay, that's already good!" Liuhuai said with a smile

"Old man, I heard that this Wutong Village used to be a very prosperous and lively village. Now, how did this happen? Mo Qi asked

The old man sighed deeply, adding a hint of bitterness and helplessness to his tone, "The four of you don't know that Wutong Village was once a fairyland. The scenery in the village is beautiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they all live a happy life. But just three years ago, a group of bandits came to the village, and they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. They occupied a mountain at the head of Wutong Village and named it Wutong Mountain. Ever since they became kings of the mountain, they made it a rule that they should come and collect taxes once a month until a year ago......"

Recall:

A year ago

In Wutong Village, the tung trees are all over the place, although the village is small, but it is prosperous and lively, people come and go in the village, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is peaceful.

"Oh no, everyone collect things quickly, the three masters of Wutong Mountain have gone down the mountain to collect taxes...... "A young man ran from the village, and he was covered in sweat.

He was panting and shouting anxiously to inform the villagers, but at the same time he was afraid.

When the people in the village heard the news, the shops hurriedly closed their doors, and the people on the street also hurriedly closed their stalls, and even worse, they didn't even collect the stalls, and directly packed up their dishes and ran home.

After a while, a man with a fat body, a round face, a short body, a face full of meat, and a thick waist and thighs came to the head of the village with six men who were unbearable in appearance and slender in stature. He fixed his gaze on the body of a middle-aged man of medium stature and average appearance. The middle-aged man looked honest, watching the man approaching step by step, he took out a money bag from his arms in fear and handed it to the man. The man took the money bag from his hand, weighed it, and said with a satisfied smile: "Count you as acquaintances!" ”

The man then set his eyes on a little girl, who was thin but very good-looking. This can make the man's heart itch. Just as the man walked in with her, an old man stood in front of her, and the old man took out a money bag from his bosom and said flatteringly: "The three masters, there are fifty taels of silver in this, which I have saved for a year, and now I am honoring the three masters." ”

"Old man, I want this silver, but this girl, she looks so standard, take it back, and make me a cottage lady, and I won't lose her, right?" The man's smile was obscene, which made people want to be disgusted after watching it.

After hearing this, the flattery on the old man's face turned into a look of fear, he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Three masters, I beg you, I am such a granddaughter, I still expect her to give me a pension, so, I beg you, I can give you as much money as you want, but you can't take my granddaughter away?" ……”

"Someone, call me!" The man gave an order, and the six men behind him rushed up and beat the old man on the ground without hesitation.

"Grandpa......" the girl cried as she squatted on the ground, protecting the old man with her back

"You pull her away for me, and beat this old immortal to death!" The man said fiercely

The girl was pulled by two men, and she could only cry and watch as the four men beat her grandfather until he died.

"Come on! Bring her back to me, in the cave room tonight. ”

The man said happily, and he forcibly dragged the girl away, despite her struggles. Just as the girl arrived at the entrance of the village, two leaves cut through the sky like sharp blades, and it quickly flew to the side of the man who had kidnapped the girl, silently erasing the man's neck, and the blow was fatal.

When the man turned around, he saw a young man with long green hair and a hat, a thin figure and a good temperament standing on the roof. He was straight, looking at the man condescendingly.

"Second brother, what do you mean by this?" The man asked hypocritically

"This girl, I like it first." Childe's voice as cold as water said coldly

"Since the second brother took a fancy to it first, then it is with the second brother. Why does the second brother need to make a big fuss? The man said flatteringly

Childe ignored him, only to feel the speed of a gust of wind, a green figure quickly flashed, and in an instant, the girl disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Childe's figure disappeared from the roof.

The memories end

"Since the girl was kidnapped by the second master, the third master is very unhappy. However, the martial arts of the second master are very high, and the third master is not an opponent, so he poisoned us and made us angry, so the people in our village know that what we get is not a plague, but a poison that cannot be cured! The old man explained, with a hint of unwillingness and resignation in his tone.

"It doesn't matter! Hua Gongzi's martial arts are strong, and he will definitely be able to help you get the antidote. Tan Ying'er comforted

"Old man, can you stretch out your hand and let me give you a pulse?" Huaxuan Road

The old man hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand. Hua Xuan checked his pulse, and after a while, he frowned and said solemnly: "Blood Phantom Flower!" ”

"An extremely rare poisonous flower in the Western Regions, the seeds must be irrigated by blood to blossom and bear fruit. Poisoned people will have hallucinations, drowsiness, vomiting, skin ulcers and other symptoms, and those who are mild can last for several years, and those who are severe will die. Mo Qi explained

"The petals of this flower are poisonous, but the fruit is detoxifying. It's just that this fruit only blooms once in fifty years, and if you want to detoxify, I'm afraid it's very difficult. So, Huaxuan, is there any other way? Liuhuai asked

"There is no other way for this flower than this fruit." Hua Xuan said calmly

"Then according to your words, it means that our whole village is not saved?" The old man's hoarse and trembling voice said in despair and horror

"Don't panic, old people, Hua Gongzi's doctor is benevolent and will definitely try his best to cure this epidemic." Tan Ying'er comforted

"Liuhuai, clean up, and go to Wutong Mountain tomorrow." Hua Xuan said resolutely

"Yes, Childe!" Liuhuai listened to the order

After the four of them had finished their discussions, they dispersed to rest.

Night crept in, and the sound of insects and birds chirping sounded all around. Under the light of the bright moon, the village looks mysterious and weird, but as far as the eye can see, the decadence of the village is a bleak and lonely scene......
