Xu Shuo gasped, and said in his heart that he originally thought that he had just entered the "thief's" den, but he didn't expect to really enter the thief's den, isn't this village a mountain bandit training camp?

He hurriedly stared at the numbers above everyone's heads, and fortunately, most of them had zeros or positive numbers on their heads, and only a few had red numbers on their heads.

The deficit above his head is basically the guy who wants to rob him in the afternoon and was beaten by him, but in general, the imps here are still friendly to him, and it seems that Pia's introduction has played a big role. It's just that for some reason there is also the village chief Bai Yu among the people who are in deficit, and Bai Yu has a "-6" on his head, a number that is not hated, but obviously not to be seen.

Why, did I do something nasty?

Xu Shuo couldn't think of an answer, and carefully looked at the young boys and girls in the room, in addition to the sloppy and shabby clothes, he soon saw more things, he saw some children's cuffs and pants under the skin blue and purple, a boy with a large burn mark on his left leg, a girl with a right elbow turned out frighteningly......

Suddenly, Bai Yu's voice came from his ears.

"Do you want some more?"

Xu Shuo raised his head and saw Bai Yu looking at him, so he was sure that the other party was talking to them.

"I don't need it......" Xu Shuo looked at Lilian and Miao Zhen, the latter two shook their heads, "We don't eat much at night, that's enough, thank you." ”

"Looks like the food here isn't to your liking."

"No, we're grateful for being able to entertain us, there's nothing to be faulty about the food."

"yes, you're so polite, cough cough cough ......"

Bai Yu suddenly coughed violently as he spoke, and the girl with braids behind him skillfully patted his back and rubbed his chest, and when the cough calmed down, Bai Yu looked at Junxiong.

"Junxiong, you take a few people and clear the north house, so that Xu Shuo and them can rest."

Toshio got up, called a few names, and led the people away.

"That's right, Xu Shuo." Bai Yu said: "Come to my room, I have something to say to you." ”

After speaking, Bai Yu gave a look to the braided hair behind him, and the latter pushed him out.

Xu Shuo and the others exchanged glances with each other, and also put down the bowl and followed.

Bai Yu's room is a ten-square-meter cabin, covered with straw mats and bedding, and a small desk near the door, the room is dimly lit, the only light source is a small oil lamp on the desk, and next to the desk is a large wooden box, which is stuffed with all kinds of books, each of which is worn out.

Bai Yu sat behind the desk, his face was pale, but his eyes were bright.

"I want to ask, are you from the Land of Fire?"

"Why do you ask this?"

Facing Bai Yu's inquiry, Xu Shuo couldn't help but be vigilant, after all, the other party was somewhat hostile to him.

Bai Yu seemed to see Xu Shuo's thoughts, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that you don't look like your own people, and the closest thing to here is the country of Yan, so I asked." Do you have something to do in this country? If you don't mind, you can let me know, maybe I can help you. ”

(So kind?) Or do you want to borrow words to find out our information? ）

When Xu Shuo was still thinking about how to answer this question, Miao Zhen stepped forward and opened his mouth.

"I'm here to find my family! I'm an orphan, and I've been told that my family is in the village of Bloodmoon on the border of the Principality of Deer. Miao Zhen said and took out the ruby necklace hanging on his chest and displayed it in front of Bai Yu, "Brother Bai Yu, do you know about Blood Moon Village?" ”

"Blood Moon Village ......"

The moment Bai Yu saw the necklace, his expression became a little solemn, it seemed that he knew something, but he refused to answer for a long time, looking like he wanted to say something.

Xu Shuo took the opportunity to stare at Bai Yu with the eyes of love, and the number of red words above the latter's head began to slowly decline - it seemed that he really knew about Blood Moon Village, and it seemed that he still had some good connection with Blood Moon Village, and after knowing that Miao was really from Blood Moon Village, he gradually put away his hostility towards them.

After a long time, Bai Yu looked at Miao Zhen and muttered, "In this way, you are... Cough... A descendant of the Blood Moon Clan? ”

Miao Zhen showed a look of surprise, "So do you know about Blood Moon Village?!" ”

Bai Yu nodded slowly.

Miao Zhen grabbed the table and said excitedly: "Then can you please tell me the location of Blood Moon Village, I will go to find my parents!" ”

However, in the face of the excited Miao Zhen, Bai Yu showed a sad expression.

"I'm sorry, but I did visit the Blood Moon Clan a few times with my father when I was a kid. But one day ten years ago, when we visited Blood Moon Village again, the village was in ruins, there seemed to be a fire there, there were scorched marks everywhere, and the people in the village were gone. ”

The smile gradually disappeared from Miao Zhen's face, and his hand was slowly taken off the table, while Bai Yu continued to speak.

"My father and I searched the whole village, and we found bodies and stuff like that, and we don't know why they moved away or what happened...... There are many traces of fighting at the scene. ”

The part that Bai Yu didn't say, most of the people present guessed. When he was in Chewa City, the tavern owner once told Xu Shuo that Miao Zhen was brought to the city by an old man named Breno, and the old man looked like he had fled here. If you think about it a little, it's likely that something bad is going on in Blood Moon Village.

"Miao Zhen......" Xu Shuo put his hand on Miao Zhen's shoulder with some concern.

Miao Zhen was silent for a while, lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, turned around, looked at Xu Shuo with a smile and said, "I'm fine, they probably just accidentally set the house on fire and burned the village, so let's move somewhere else." ”

Everyone present didn't speak, they knew that although these words came out of Miao Zhen's mouth, I am afraid that Miao Zhen herself was the least convinced, and the corners of her eyes were clearly moist.

Xu Shuo squatted down, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Miao Zhen's eyes with his thumb, touched Miao Zhen's head again, and said in a firm tone: "That's right, they must have moved to another place, although there may have been some accidents in the village, but the people in the village must be there, Grandpa Brenaud and Miao Zhen who are standing here now are the best proof." ”

That's it, if Miao Zhen and Brenaud escaped from an accident, then others could also escape.

Miao Zhen understood what Xu Shuo meant, and nodded vigorously.

"Hmm!"

Miao Zhen turned back to look at Bai Yu again.

"Brother Bai Yu, even if it's a ruin, can you tell me where it is? I'd like to check it out, maybe there's some clue. ”

Bai Yu seemed to be moved by Miao Zhen, and agreed without hesitation this time.

"Okay, but that place is affected by the enchantment of the Red Moon Clan, and those who don't know the way will get lost when they go there, so I'll take you there myself tomorrow."

"Really? Thank you! ”

Just when Miao Zhen thanked Bai Yu, the girl with braids who was originally standing behind Bai Yu stepped forward and gestured to Bai Yu with great excitement - it turned out that she couldn't speak.

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll just wear more." ”

The girl named Shen was another gesture.

Bai Yu smiled, looked at Xu Shuo and said, "It's okay, if there is a difficult mountain road, you can ask this Mr. Xu Shuo, who looks very strong, to carry me." Mr. Xu Shuo, do you agree? ”

Xu Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

"Look, no problem."

He wanted to make a gesture, but was stopped by Bai Yu.

"It's decided, I haven't been far away for a long time, no, it's not too far, I'll be back soon, don't worry."
