The cold wind at night was howling, and there was a tendency to get worse, and even the torch in Zhang Xiao's hand was about to be blown out several times, but fortunately Zhang Xiao had already walked to the mouth of the grotto, otherwise in the case of losing the lighting conditions, the ghost knows how much trouble these few steps of the path would bring.

Zhang Xiao sighed lightly, then extinguished the torch and walked into the grotto with his head down, while the little Hillman behind him followed Zhang Xiao step by step, Zhang Xiao walked into the grotto, and quickly looked at the surrounding environment.

The cold wind that was originally poured into the grotto had been blocked by Zhang Xiao at this time, so even the fire that was blowing everywhere was stabilized, which made Zhang Xiao's figure a little unclear in front of the fire, and the light of the flames reflected on Zhang Xiao's face was a little unreal.

You must know that it is not clear to see the bright places and dark places, and there is a person in the grotto who is unforgettable to him----- Cross, so Zhang Xiao pulled the little Hillman behind him sideways without a trace, so that the little Hillman was under the fire, and he was secretly hiding behind the little Hillman.

"New here!" Little Hillman was pushed in front of him by Zhang Xiao in a daze, but a rough voice interrupted his puzzlement.

"Huh?" asked little Hillman, pointing his finger at himself, as if asking if he was calling himself.

And Zhang Xiao, who was hiding behind Little Hillman, quickly looked at the situation in the grotto at this time, the man who was shouting at Little Hillman just now looked like he was in his forties and had a scruffy beard, but the most eye-catching thing was his general's belly, and the sharp-eyed Zhang Xiao even saw a machete next to the man, and the most important thing was that the man's hand was placed on the handle of the machete at any time.

Thinking that this man is the night watchman of this grotto, and the kingdom absolutely prohibits civilians from carrying iron tools and knives, and even the kitchen knives and farm tools needed by civilians in their homes must be registered in the town, and damage or loss must be reported to the town, which shows how strict the ruler's jurisdiction over the people is.

And now such a man is holding a machete and a knife, which means that this is probably the mercenaries or caravan guards in Geman's mouth, but there are only twelve people in the grotto at this time, and looking at the dress of these people, about seven of them are villagers of Yi Village, because these villagers sleep with their own goods in their hands, and ordinary mercenaries will arrange special night watchmen, but not so.

Zhang Xiao also saw just now that after the night watchman spoke, all the villagers quietly opened their eyes and looked at Zhang Xiao and Little Hillman, and at this time Zhang Xiao also found his "old acquaintance", the noble village chief was sleeping next to the other three mercenaries at this time, obviously having paid protection money or something.

Apparently after paying the protection money, Cross slept very soundly, and the night watchman's heavy scolding could not wake Cross and the other mercenaries.

"That's you, do you know the rules?" the night watchman frowned, obviously unfazed by the two unknown villagers in front of him.

Little Hillman asked puzzled, "What rules?"

"The newcomers should go out to the gate of the grotto to watch the door, and wait until the other newcomers come in to replace you, and then you can come in to rest and keep vigil!" The night watchman also said unceremoniously, it was obvious that the night watchman saw that the villagers in front of him had no oil and water to wipe, so he planned to let these two fools go out to block the wind.

It stands to reason that this request is very unreasonable, and little Hillman is about to attack: "Why do we want it?"

Little Hillman was just about to say next when he was pulled by Zhang Xiao from behind, Little Hillman turned his head to look at Zhang Xiao suspiciously, Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and motioned for Little Hillman to look at the hand of the night watchman.

It turned out that just as little Hillman was about to attack, the night watchman had quietly grasped the machete in his hand.

Seeing the machete in the night watchman's hand, little Hillman took a small step back in fear, and when he saw this, Zhang Xiao gently patted little Hillman on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, since we are new here, of course we have to obey the rules, let's go to the grotto mouth to guard." ”

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, little Hillman nodded unwillingly and was about to turn around and walk out, but at this moment, the night watchman said disdainfully: "Useless cowardice, count you as acquaintances, otherwise the uncle will kill you like this!"

"A pariah is a pariah, two big men are blind together, don't have any special fetishes." The man of the night watch was still sitting at the fire, and he kept breaking thoughts.

At this moment, little Hillman, who heard the words of the night watchman, suddenly turned around and was about to have a seizure, and the night watchman couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw little Hillman turn around, and he was worried about how to find the stubble of these two people: "What!

"No, no, uncle, don't get me wrong, my brother has some problems in his brain. Seeing that the situation seemed a little out of control, Zhang Xiao came forward and stood in front of Little Hillman to persuade.

But the night watchman finally found such a stubble, how could he give up so easily: "You cowardly!"

"Smack!" A clear slap hit Zhang Xiao's face, and a blood-red mark slowly appeared on Zhang Xiao's face, which made Zhang Xiao look very embarrassed.

"Your grandfather's! I'll fight with you!" The moment he saw Zhang Xiao being beaten, little Hillman was stunned, but soon he was crazy and wanted to rush forward.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao looked at Little Hillman with cold eyes, which made Little Hillman's movements stagnate.

"What's the matter!

Zhang Xiao didn't speak, just turned around and walked out of the grotto alone, and little Hillman hesitated for a moment when he saw this, and ran out after Zhang Xiao, leaving only the night watchman still scolding with disdain.

Zhang Xiao, who walked outside the grotto, instructed little Hillman without changing his face: "Go, call all the brothers to me." ”
