Chu Zhaozhao was woken up by the sound of ding-dong knocking outside the house.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and the boy beside the bed was gone.

She looked out the window, it was slightly bright, and it was still early.

Her heart suddenly became a little nervous, and she thought to herself, could it be that the female thief had a bad idea again?

She hurriedly put on her clothes, and before she even had time to put on her shoes, she walked briskly outside the house.

But as soon as the door opened, her steps were stunned, and her hanging heart was also relaxed.

In the courtyard outside the house, Chu Qingxiao was holding a mallet and nailing a wooden board into the soil.

Chu Qingxiao also turned his head to look at Chu Zhaozhao at this time, he smiled apologetically, and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "It's noisy to you?" ”

Chu Zhaozhao subconsciously shook his head and walked over barefoot.

I don't know how long Chu Qingxiao has been busy, the wall built with wooden blocks around the house in front of him has been half completed, although some places are crooked, but it can be seen that Chu Qingxiao has been very attentive.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, a little strangely.

"Didn't that mother-in-law send some chickens yesterday? After being locked in a cage all night, screaming non-stop, I thought about making a fence and releasing them. Chu Qingxiao said with a smile.

The smile on his face that was not particularly handsome, but clean, and the morning light shining in the morning sun was inexplicably good-looking.

Chu Zhaozhao was stunned, and then remembered the scene where the two of them slept in the same bed, her face turned red, she hurriedly turned her head, and muttered: "Those chickens are going to lay eggs, at least for several months, do you really plan to stay here......

She was halfway through her words, but suddenly she listened.

They really don't plan to live there permanently, and they're even already thinking about how to get out of here.

But the most important premise is to dispel the suspicions of the people of Goshawk Village, and the more they want to make the people of Goshawk Village believe them, the more they have to show a posture of settling here.

Chu Qingxiao's move is obviously necessary.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly admire the guy in front of her.

Pretty smart.

She thought secretly in her heart, but her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Chu Qingxiao's fingers holding the wooden board a little red and swollen.

She frowned, and grabbed Chu Qingxiao's hand without much thought, and complained in her mouth: "You person, why are you so clumsy, you can catch the sword of that female thief, but you can smash your hand with a stake?" ”

Chu Qingxiao was taken aback by Chu Zhaozhao's actions, he just wanted to withdraw his hand, but he saw the girl with her head down and her brows furrowed.

His heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "I can only instinctively stimulate the methods of the Shura Realm when I am facing the enemy, but I can't do it on weekdays. ”

"Maybe it's not at the realm of being able to retract and release freely."

Chu Zhaozhao, who heard this, raised his head and glanced at him: "Then you were still able to do it yesterday, if your Shura realm is not opened, and the female thief's sword finger, your hand will be nullified." ”

Chu Qingxiao smiled innocently and didn't speak, just looked at Chu Zhaozhao.

Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was grabbing Chu Qingxiao's hand, she was excited, and let go of her hand like an electric shock, and her face suddenly turned red.

The atmosphere between the two became delicate, Chu Zhaozhao secretly glanced up at Chu Qingxiao, but this guy just smirked, obviously he didn't have the ability to break this strange atmosphere.

"I ...... I'll help you. Chu Zhaozhao said this, squatting down and wanting to pick up the plank on the ground in a bit of a panic.

"Brother Qingxiao! Sister Zhaozhao! And at this moment, Fang Xu'er's voice came from not far away.

The two of them looked sideways, and saw the little girl jumping over.

"Are you still used to sleeping last night?" She approached the two of them and asked with a smile, revealing the two iconic tiger teeth.

"Not bad." Chu Zhaozhao said this, but as soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but yawn.

In fact, last night, she didn't sleep well at all!

This is probably the stupidest decision Chu Zhaozhao has made in his life.

She thought of it in her mind, but quickly dismissed it.

The stupidest thing is to use the sword cultivation trick on the broken sword.

But this decision is just as stupid!

She didn't know what she was thinking, but yesterday she watched Chu Qingxiao busy laying the floor, and she had to deal with waves of enthusiastic residents.

She was a little distressed, and she made such an invitation as soon as her brain was hot.

Although Chu Qingxiao no longer seems to be laying the floor, on that narrow bed, lonely men and widows are crowded together, how can they sleep peacefully.

It's Chu Qingxiao, this guy, who lay on the bed for a while, and then fell asleep heartlessly!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but glare at Chu Qingxiao again.

Fortunately, Fang Su'er was simple-minded, but she didn't think much about it, she took out a few steamed buns from her arms and handed them over: "Brother and sister haven't eaten yet, right?" What I made, you taste. ”

The two didn't refuse, thanked them and took the steamed buns.

Fang Xu'er looked around half of the wall, and said: "Brother Qingxiao is worthy of being a person who practices martial arts, such a large wall, half of it was done so quickly." ”

"No wonder Sister Tsukimi wants to recruit you into the Goshawk Army."

"Goshawk Army?" Chu Qingxiao, who was eating steamed buns, asked with some doubts.

"It's Pang who leads them, and the name sounds scary, but in fact, there are only about thirty or forty people."

"Our cottage is robbing goods under the mountain, and the people of the Goshawk Army are doing it all when they go to the city to buy and sell the goods, although it is a little hard, but the food and silver money that can be distributed every month are more than ordinary people." Fang Xu'er patiently explained.

"Can you go down the mountain and rob the goods?" And Chu Zhaozhao, who heard this, was stunned.

Being able to go down the mountain meant that there was a chance to escape, and thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "What about me?" ”

"Sister?" Fang Xi'er thought for a while and said: "It should be Sister Sanniang's side, who is responsible for picking wild fruits or helping to weave silk on weekdays, which is relatively easy work. ”

"Don't you like it?"

Chu Zhaozhao's face changed when he heard this, and he almost couldn't help but scold the female thief a few words, but after thinking about it, this is also common sense.

They had just joined the cottage, and the female thief definitely didn't trust them yet, she could think of going down the mountain to make it easy to escape, and with the cunning of the female thief, she could naturally think of it.

One is going down the hill and the other is up the hill, just holding each other down.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaozhao put away the anger that was about to spread on his face, and instead showed a look of resentment: "My husband and I were displaced, chased and killed by Tianhang Mountain, and it is very satisfying to be able to get a safe place to live. ”

"What the cottage needs us to do, we should do our best."

In all fairness, Chu Zhaozhao's acting skills are really a bit clumsy.

If you use too much force, it will look contrived.

Fortunately, it was the young Fang Su'er who watched this performance, and the little girl did not doubt him when she saw this, but comforted: "Sister, don't worry, Sister Yuejian is a very good person, you must be fine in Goshawk Village." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Chu Zhaozhao's hand, her eyes lit up: "I heard Brother Qingxiao tell your story yesterday, and I felt so moved. ”

"Sister, can you tell me how you and Brother Qingxiao met?"

"Love at first sight? Or is it a long-term relationship? ”

"Brother Qingxiao, has there ever been a hero who saved the United States? Sister, have you ever struggled in your heart? ”

"Brother Qingxiao, does he have any childhood sweethearts who are innocent on the surface but vicious behind his back?"

"Sister, do you have any family wealth and the admiration of the powerful son?"

"Did they get in the way, and how did you come together over the odds?"

Chu Zhaozhao was blinded by Fang Xu'er's series of questions, she blinked, looking at the girl in front of her with an expectant look and starry eyes.

I was stunned for a long time, and then I spit out a word from my mouth.

"Huh?"

……

"What about the Goshawks! It is the most important and hardest group of people in our Goshawk Village. ”

"Three arch-commanders, easy to identify."

"The fat one is called Da Zhuang, a little simple, since I came here three years ago, he has been clamoring to marry a daughter-in-law, but he is still a bachelor for so many years."

"The tall and thin man is called Guan Zijin, and his daughter-in-law lives in the east of the village, and she has a daughter, who is naughty, and one day she burned a bunch of the witch-woman's grass to feed insects."

"The one who doesn't like to talk is called Huang Quxiang, but sister, don't look at his fierce appearance, but he is the best, there are four or five orphans in the village who were raised by him."

Walking in the goshawk village, Fang Xu'er chattered in Chu Zhaozhao's ear like a chatterbox.

After breakfast, Chu Qingxiao was busy continuing to repair the yard, and Fang Xu'er volunteered to take Chu Zhaozhao to familiarize herself with Goshawk Village.

For Chu Zhaozhao, who was bent on figuring out the layout of the village and planning the escape route, this was naturally something that could not be sought.

It's just that the little girl probably hasn't seen anyone from outside for too long, and she chatters non-stop along the way, but thanks to this, Chu Zhaozhao also has a general understanding of the situation in this goshawk village.

Along the way, Chu Zhaozhao remembered the layout of Goshawk Village, every road and exit, but looking at it, she suddenly frowned.

"Su'er, in our goshawk village, why are there so many guys who lack arms and legs......" Chu Zhaozhao asked.

Along the way, she felt that something was wrong, as a stronghold of bandits, this goshawk village was clean and tidy, and the number of old, weak, sick and disabled seemed to be really more.

This is somewhat abnormal for a cottage that survives by robbing houses.

"There are nearly 100 peaks in Taixuan Mountain, large and small, and each peak is inhabited by a group or several bandits."

"Among them, the ghost crow village on Huang Xuanfeng is the most powerful, they take care of the entire Taixuan Mountain, our small cottages have to hand over money or silver taels to them every month, once there is a village that can't take these things, they will take away the residents of the village, and they will not slaughter the entire cottage."

"The competition between the cottages is cruel, for those who have not cultivated or the old, weak, sick and disabled, most of them are abandoned, and when you meet a little conscience of the owner of the village, you may also give a way out, so that you can leave the cottage to fend for yourself. And some who have no conscience are killed directly or raised like domestic animals...... When there is no surplus food in the village, it is offered to the ghost crow village in exchange for food. ”

"Only Sister Yuejian is willing to take in us who are old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is today's Goying Village."

"It is also because of this that there are indeed more old, weak, sick and disabled people in the goshawk village, although we have also tried to help everyone do a lot of what we can, but it is still far from enough."

"Most of the burden is still on the Goshawk Army and Sister Tsukimi." Fang Xu'er said this, her eyes were full of admiration for that Yuejian, and a little self-blame for not being able to help herself.

Chu Zhaozhao didn't expect that the female thief she hated still had such a side, she frowned and asked, "What is the origin of that ghost crow village?" Why exchange people for food? What do they want so many people to do? ”

At the mention of the Ghost Crow Village, Fang Xu'er's face changed significantly, and she said: "I don't know, I heard that the owner of the Ghost Crow Village seems to have cultivated some magic skills, and he wants to use the living to increase his cultivation, and some people say that they like to treat the living as a thing......

"Anyway, the living people who were sent over have almost never been seen on this Taixuan Mountain again."

"And because they offer a very high price, some cottages will even take the initiative to help the ghost crow village rob the living! Rely on this to keep the cottage running. ”

Speaking of this, the little girl paused, hesitated for a while, and then looked at Chu Zhaozhao and said a little mysteriously.

"I've heard from people."

"The ghost crow village wants so many living people, but it is actually for sacrifice."

"It is said that the owner of the village is more than 100 years old this year, but he is no different from a person in his thirties."

"It was obtained by using a living person to worship an evil god."
