Chapter 262: A Village Deep in the Mountains

In the deep fog and dew in the mountains, Shen Jingxiao practiced his sword for a while in the early morning of the next day, and a layer of hoarfrost formed on his hair.

When Xiao Xiang woke up, she found that Shen Jing was not in the cave, she subconsciously wanted to get up and take a look, but she never thought that because the movement was too big, the wound was involved, and there was a sharp pain in her shoulder, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

At that time, Shen Guo happened to put away his sword and return to the cave, when he saw Xiao Xiang with his brows furrowed and a painful look on his face, he thought that her injuries had worsened, Shen Guo hurriedly walked a few steps closer and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Hearing Shen Jing's voice, Xiao Xiang slowly opened his eyes and looked at him, but he still frowned.

She whispered, "It's nothing, I just moved a little bit and pulled the wound and it hurts a little." ”

When Shen heard this, he was a little relieved, and the injury did not deteriorate.

Shen Guo walked to the other side to pack his things, and he said as he cleaned up: "You also clean up, and we will continue to hurry later." ”

Xiao Xiang responded when he heard this.

said that there was nothing to clean up, Xiao Xiang was alone, at most he cleaned up and washed himself. However, the conditions are simple, and you can only wash your face with a handful of water by the stone pool outside the cave.

The stone pond is cold, and it suddenly makes people sober.

After a brief wash, there was no breakfast to eat, so the two continued on their way, and if they were lucky, they could find some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

The mountains don't know the rotation of the sun and the moon, and the two of them walk for five days.

The two set out early in the morning and rested after nightfall.

This mountain forest is really too big, and there are dense jungles everywhere that are inaccessible to people, and it is quite difficult to walk. But fortunately, you can still find some wild fruits along the way, and you can also meet caves at night, and you can eat and stay.

After noon on this day, Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang, who had been on the road all morning, rested under a big tree.

After five days of part-time travel, both of them had a little fatigue on their faces, and they also looked a lot of vicissitudes.

Shen Jing, who was resting, noticed that the dead weeds in the jungle on the road behind them showed signs of being cut, which indicated that there were signs of human activity in this area.

For the sake of prudence, Shen Kuang did not immediately search around, but because Xiao Xiang's wound dragged on was not conducive to recovery, Shen Kuang also hoped to get out of this mountain forest.

The two of them sat under the tree and each nibbled on wild fruits, as if they were used to not talking, so even if they handed each other a wild fruit, they would not communicate.

After half an hour, when the rest was almost over, Shen Guo planned to continue his journey.

However, before they could leave, Shen suddenly heard several voices coming from the forest not far to the left.

Shen Jing immediately vigilantly asked Xiao Xiang to hide behind him, and the two of them covered their bodies with thick tree trunks and withered weeds.

After a while, the voice became louder and louder, and Shen Jing and Xiao Xiang, who had been paying attention, also saw the appearance of those people clearly.

It was four middle-aged people dressed in fur furs, all dressed as hunters. They carried longbows and feathered arrows, and carried the spoils of the day in their hands. It was a pair of fat pheasants and hares, and one carrying a roe deer.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Xiang, who was hiding behind Shen Jing, opened his mouth and asked, "It seems that it is a hunter who lives near here, should we go out?" ”

Shen said: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, wait and see." ”

Those four people are just bigger, they don't have any cultivation foundation, and they are easy to deal with, Shen Jing just doesn't want to cause trouble.

Soon, the four of them talked and laughed and passed not far from the place where Shen Guo was hiding, passed by and then continued to move forward, obviously not noticing that there was still someone hiding on the other side.

For the sake of prudence, Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang did not go out, but chose to follow the four of them far away.

After walking for about half an hour, the tall trees disappeared from the field of vision, and in its place was a quiet and peaceful village.

In early winter, the land is silent, but the populated places are not too depressed.

Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang didn't rush out, and the four hunters didn't find themselves from beginning to end

Two people followed.

Xiao Xiang looked at the small village in the distance, there were only about forty villagers.

Seeing these before, Xiao Xiang's mood would never have any ups and downs, but today she felt so happy.

After the two paused for a moment, Xiao Xiang asked, "Jiang Sui, should we go out?" ”

The two walked in the mountains and forests for several days, and suddenly saw the traces of people, in fact, their hearts were somewhat warm, and Shen was no exception. It's just that the two of them are in an awkward situation at the moment, and they can't help but think about the situation.

Shen Jing replied softly: "After the four of them enter the village, we will go out, this village is located deep in the mountains and forests, and there are few outsiders here on weekdays." If someone asks us about our identity later, they will say that they got lost in the mountains and forests by mistake, and they got here by mistake. ”

Hearing Shen's explanation, Xiao Xiang nodded in response.

A few days of getting along also made Xiao Xiang know that Shen Guo was a very vigilant person, and Shen Jing would be vigilant against the movements made by the beast several times on the road.

After a short time, the figures of the four Orions disappeared.

In the distant village, smoke rises from several cooking houses, and it is indifferent and quiet.

Shen Jing looked at this long-lost scenery, and was a little distracted for a while, and he hadn't returned to Hongni Lane for a long time.

"Jiang suspicion, Jiang suspicion..."

Xiao Xiang shouted several times before he came back to his senses and responded: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Xiang glanced at Shen Jing strangely, but seeing Shen Qian's expression as usual, she was only in a daze, so she just said, "They have entered the village, shall we go out?" ”

"Let's go."

The first to see Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang were the children who were playing at the entrance of the village, and when those children saw Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang walking towards the village from a distance, they all stopped playing and looked over curiously.

When Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang approached, one of the slightly older children stepped forward a few steps forward and looked at the two of them and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xiao Xiang was actually a little relieved when she saw the situation in the village, and she was naturally happy to see the good life of the people in Daliang.

After the kid asked, the rest of the children also looked at Shen Jing and Xiao Xiang with the same curiosity as him.

Shen Kuang replied when he heard this: "We got lost in the mountains and forests, and we bumped into this place by mistake. Children, do you know how far it is from the nearest county seat? ”

Hearing Shen Jing's words, the child scratched his head and then turned to his friends and asked, "Do you know?" ”

The other children all shook their heads, and the child in front of them had no choice but to explain: "Daddy and the uncles and uncles in the village only enter the city once in a few months, and they never take us, so we don't know where the county seat is." ”

Unable to answer Shen Jing's question, the child looked a little lost, but soon his eyes brightened again, and he smiled: "I can go home and ask my father, my father must know." Can you wait here for a while? ”

Shen Kuang smiled when he heard this: "Of course you can, then thank you." ”

The child waved his hand and said, "No thanks, no thanks." ”

With that, he ran into the village and disappeared.

The rest of the children were also very curious about Shen Guo and Xiao Xiang, especially Shen Kuang who was carrying a sword on his back, and the children were obviously very interested in Shen Kuang's sword.

In this way, after Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang waited for a moment under the curious eyes of the children, the child who had run back to the village before pulled the adults of his own family out, but not one but a group.

A large group of people in Wuyang Wuyang were led by an old man with gray hair on crutches, and then there were men and women.

Xiao Xiang suddenly saw such a big formation, and subconsciously looked at Shen Jing and said, "They are..."

Although Shen was also a little surprised, he could feel that there was no murderous aura in the eyes of these people, so he explained: "Don't worry, most of them are just curious about us. ”

Sure enough, when a group of people approached, they all began to look at them with interest.

The first time he was looked at like this by a group of people, Xiao Xiang felt a little awkward, but after thinking about it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

These are their people, and they can be relieved again.

After a while, the old man at the head lifted his crutches and pestled the ground twice, and said with a little majesty: "Be quiet." ”

After that, the crowd that was originally chattering suddenly lost its voice.

The old man looked at Shen Kuang, and the two of them were obviously dusty, and he learned from the child's mouth that they were lost in the mountains and forests, and the combination of the two also knew that they had come here by mistake.

The old man looked at Shen Jing and smiled kindly: "Young people, don't be afraid, there are usually no outsiders in the village for several years or even more than ten years, so everyone is very curious, they have no malicious intentions." You have walked for a long time in the mountains and forests before you came to our Chunshan Village! ”

The old man's tone was a little joyful, and after thinking for a while, he deliberately said for a long time.

"We've been walking in the mountains for almost ten days. Old man, can you ask where this Chunshan Village you are talking about? ”

Hearing this, the old man tapped his head a few times and smiled: "I have almost forgotten what kind of place we are without going out for so many years?" Chi Ku, you tell them. ”

After the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man standing behind him said with a smile: "Little brother, our Chunshan Village is a small village deep in the Huaishan Mountains. According to the geographical boundary, we belong to Lechuan County under Nanyang County, but there are still nearly seventy or eighty miles away from Lechuan County. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, so there is only one village in a radius of dozens of miles. ”

After the introduction of the man named Chi Ku, the old man smiled again: "I am the village chief of our Chunshan Village, you can call me Grandpa Gu like these half-grown children." Since the two of you can come here and are guests of our village, you might as well rest in the village first, and then hurry into the city early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to catch up with Lechuan County today, but there will be no one along the way, and you will have to sleep in the mountains. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jing and waited for his answer.

When Shen Guan heard this, he first turned around and asked what Xiao Xiang meant, and Xiao Xiang looked at him, meaning that you make the decision.

After thinking about it, Shen Guo responded for a while.

The old man laughed when he heard this, his joy overflowed, and he hurriedly ordered the villagers to entertain Shen and the two.

Although the other party was a citizen of Daliang, Xiao Xiang had not forgotten her current situation, so he followed Shen Jing closely and did not dare to stay away. Her injured right shoulder was also deliberately natural, so that no one else could see that she had an injury to her shoulder.

The village chief took Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang to the front, and introduced the village to them as he went.

Previously, the village chief had already ordered someone to clean up a room as soon as possible, so after walking for a short time, he led Shen Jing and Xiao Xiang to the room they stayed in tonight.

It was a room in the courtyard of the fence, and it looked like a villager's house.

When I walked to the fence gate, I saw the lively villagers walking away, and all that was left was the owner's family and a few half-grown children, and it seemed that the owner of the house was the middle-aged man named Chi Ku.

The village chief led Shen Kuang and them directly into the main hall of the house, a house with a yard as soon as they entered, and the overall look was not bad.

After entering the hall, the middle-aged man Zichi hurriedly instructed his mother-in-law to bring tea and pour water, and the children who joined in the fun were also driven away by him.

After a while, the woman brought hot tea and poured it for a few people.

Seeing this, Shen Kuang and Xiao Xiang hurriedly got up and thanked them, but the woman smiled and said no, and then she retreated.

After taking a sip of tea, the village chief looked at Shen Jing and asked with a smile, "What do you two call them?" ”

"My name is Jiang Su, and her name is Xiao Xiang."

"Jiang Gongzi, Miss Xiao."

The old man first smiled and said, and then said, "You can stay here with peace of mind tonight, and tell Chi Ku what you want to eat." ”

As he spoke, the village chief looked at the middle-aged man again and said, "There is still more game at home, so I will make a few for the two of them to taste at noon." ”

Chi smiled bitterly, not feeling pity at all.

Shen Guo hurriedly said no, but he was pulled down by the village chief, so that they must be happy and not see outside.
