Chapter 24: Peach Blossom Village

The old woodcutter saw that Xu Xuan was so bold that he even dared to roast and eat monsters, and his eyelids jumped with fright.

"Uncle, this fish has been roasted, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, come and taste it."

Xu Xuan picked up a piece of fish and handed it to the old woodcutter, inviting the other party to taste his cooking skills.

"Little sir, this ...... This is a monster! ”

"What are you afraid of, the monster has been killed by me, it can eat people, we can eat it too."

After speaking, Xu Xuan picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, which was really delicious.

The aroma of the fish was faintly released, making people's appetite move, and the onlookers watched Xu Xuan eat the fish, and their stomachs felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, some villagers rushed to hear the news, and when they saw Xu Xuan, someone immediately recognized him.

After all, Xu Xuan solved the demon trouble in Bibo Town for two consecutive waves, and his reputation had already spread.

The village where the old woodcutter is located is located at the foot of this western mountain, although the news is closed, but the villagers often go to Bibo Town to purchase, and some people have witnessed the whole process of Xu Xuan's demon extermination.

At this time, under the boasting of the later villagers, the old woodcutter and other villagers who came first immediately knew Xu Xuan's ability.

There has also been a 180-degree change in his attitude.

"The old man has eyes but no beads, I never thought that Xu Xiu had such skills."

The old woodcutter clenched his fists, a little embarrassed.

"Uncle, if you weren't kind-hearted, you wouldn't have brought all the villagers to look for me, today this beast in Longmingtan was killed by me, let's eat fish together."

The old woodcutter no longer hesitated, so he could only eat a piece of fish.

Not to mention, this bite is really scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and the lips and teeth are fragrant, which makes people have an aftertaste.

With the old woodcutter taking the lead, the people no longer resisted the black fish meat, and began to eat the fish, and after a while, Xu Xuan's grilled fish was eaten by everyone.

Seeing that everyone was still unsatisfied, Xu Xuan smiled slightly, and immediately divided the big black fish into pieces, and then distributed them all to the people.

As for whether they take it home to boil soup or braised it, it all depends on personal preference.

The people each shared a piece of fish and meat, and then warmly invited Xu Xuan to the village as a guest.

Seeing that everyone was really enthusiastic, Xu Xuan was embarrassed to shirk it, so he had to follow them to the village.

Peach Blossom Village is located at the foot of the West Mountain, and the villagers grow peaches all year round to sell, which is also the origin of the village's name.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a peach forest, and huge peach trees stood up.

When Xu Xuan came to the village, he was immediately warmly received, and the village chief personally accompanied Xu Xuan and invited him to drink.

At the same time, the news that Xu Xuan had killed the black fish essence was quickly publicized by the villagers.

When the news reached Bibo Town, everyone knew that Xu Xuan had eliminated another demon, and they all gave him a thumbs up.

Originally, Xu Xuan's solution to two demon troubles had become famous, and now in addition to a black fish spirit in Xishan, he is even more famous.

After solving three demon disasters in a row, the news spread to Wuliu County, which immediately caused quite a stir.

Especially the teacher of the school palace, when he heard that his students were so good, he also felt a light on his face.

The village chief of Taohua Village is named Zhang Zhiyuan, a white-haired old man on crutches, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his face is full of wrinkles, which the years have left on his face.

After everyone sat down, Xu Xuan bowed his hand to the village chief and said:

"Student Xu Xuan, a student of Wuliu County, has met the old village chief."

"Oh, it's really a talent, and his bearing is extraordinary."

The old village chief listened to the villagers narrate the deeds of Xu Xuan's demon extermination, and he admired the young man in front of him very much.

"Xu Gongzi disregarded his safety and acted righteously, which is really amazing!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the road is uneven and pulls out a knife to help."

"Haha, Xu Xiucai is personable, I don't know if there is a marriage match?"

"I'm focused on studying, and I'm not married."

"I ......"

The elders of the wine clan in the village heard that Xu Xuan was not married, and was about to introduce his granddaughter to Xu Xuan.

But as soon as his words reached his mouth, he was interrupted by the village chief on the side.

Xu Xuan is a dignified talent, and he has retreated from three demons in a row, even if he doesn't get fame, he can get an official position by virtue of his merits.

In the future, if he is admitted to fame, he will have a bright future, how can such a young man take a fancy to a village girl?

Others don't know, a village can not be clear, his granddaughter is not two hundred, but also one hundred and eighty pounds, Xu Xiucai, with thin arms and legs, how can she stand the destruction of that fat girl.

"Xu Xiucai came to my Peach Blossom Village as a guest, I can't wait for it, I toast you."

Zhang Zhiyuan picked up the wine glass and looked at Xu Xuan with a smile.

"Village Chief, please!"

Xu Xuan picked up the wine glass and drank with the village chief, and the rest of the accompanying guests also drank together.

After the five flavors of the dishes and the three rounds of wine, the village chief Zhang Zhiyuan sighed and said:

"Master Xu, the old man has a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree."

"Why did the village chief say this?"

"Hey! I won't tell you anything, someone in my village is in distress in Xishan, it was done by monsters, and it was reported to the government three days ago, but the people from the town demon division did not come. ”

"In desperation, I can only ask you for help, I hope you can take action and rescue the people of my Peach Blossom Village."

"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it, the village chief just needs to tell me where the monster is, tomorrow today is his anniversary."

“……”

When the elders of the clans heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.

"Xu Gongzi is righteous, but that monster is not easy to deal with, and several medicine pickers in my village have been poisoned by him."

"He also asked me to prepare three fresh tributes for him every month, otherwise he would be killed."

Zhang Zhiyuan was afraid that Xu Xuan would be impulsive, after all, he was a young man, and if he suffered a loss, they would not be happy.

"Village Chief, tell me where the youkai is? Dare to eat people and kill people, this time I will kill this beast. ”

As soon as he heard that there were monsters who dared to eat people and kill people, Xu Xuan immediately wanted to eliminate the harm for the people.

"That monster is entrenched in the Black Bear Ridge of the West Mountain all the year round, as for what it is, I don't know."

Zhang Zhiyuan told the truth that he must be what kind of monster the other party is, and he knows where he is a common man.

"Black Bear Ridge in the West Mountains?"

Hearing the name of this place, Xu Xuan's heart moved.

It seems that the road is narrow, maybe this harmful monster is the second master of the bear.

But Xu Xuan can't control so much, no matter what kind of monster he is, he should die if he dares to harm someone.

"Village Chief, without further ado, you can send someone to show me the way now, when you get to Black Bear Ridge, that monster will definitely die."

I don't know what this monster in Black Bear Ridge is, if it's really the second master of the bear, you can eat steamed bear paws at night.

As soon as the village chief heard that Xu Xuan was about to do this, he acted really resolutely.

At that moment, he immediately sent a sturdy young man Er Niu to lead the way for Xu Xuan and went to Black Bear Ridge.

This Black Bear Ridge is one of the peaks of the West Mountain, and it is also twenty or thirty miles away from Taohua Village.

I followed Erniu all the way into the mountain, walked through a lot of sheep intestine trails, and crossed a single-plank bridge, and finally came to Black Bear Ridge.

The Black Bear Ridge looked unusually steep and filled with mist, and Erniu was a little wooden, but he was reluctant to go with him as soon as he brought Xu Xuan to the Black Bear Ridge.

After all, there are monsters in this Black Bear Ridge, and he doesn't dare to send them to death.
