Chapter 488: Ying Xiong

Between the mountains and fields, a figure in a blue power suit was slowly moving forward.

Although the mountain road is not easy to walk, this person is walking on the ground, and there is nothing wrong with walking easily.

This person was none other than the nameless person who came to find Mu Yingxiong according to the map given by Huo Yin.

Now that he has left the border of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he crosses this mountain again, he can reach the hermitage of Mu Yingxiong.

Finally, Nameless climbed over the hill and came to the other side of the mountain.

He stands on a large rock in the middle of the mountain, overlooking the mountain, a quiet and simple mountain village is quietly located at the foot of the mountain, with a series of houses, and everywhere exudes the atmosphere of simple nature.

Vaguely, Nameless could see people walking in the village in strange costumes different from those of the Central Plains, but they were far away, and he couldn't really see them, and he couldn't hear what these people were saying.

Suddenly, Nameless felt something, and turned his head to look at a large tree not far to the left.

Behind the big tree, two middle-aged men with dark skin and animal skins were staring at him with a curious and wary gaze, and the two middle-aged men each held a homemade wooden bow in their hands, although it looked very rough, but it was enough if it was used to hunt wild game in the mountains.

The two local hunters looked at each other when they saw the nameless general's gaze, and then began to communicate in a whisper.

The words they speak are obscure, not the official dialect of the Central Plains, nor the dialect of the Central Plains, in short, a nameless language that cannot be understood at all.

However, Nameless couldn't understand what they were saying, but from the tone of their communication, it was not difficult to hear that these locals were wary of him, an outsider who suddenly appeared, and didn't seem to welcome his arrival so much.

The two local hunters deliberated for a moment, then stepped out from behind the tree and came to Nameless.

One of them looked at the nameless and asked in the unsmooth official dialect of the Central Plains, "Are you ...... Ming? ”

Nameless heard the other party's question, nodded and replied: "That's right, I am from the Ming Dynasty, and I am also the Ming person in your mouth." ”

When they heard Nameless's answer, they looked at each other again, and then asked Nameless, "What are you doing?" ”

A look of memory appeared on Nameless' face, and he replied, "Come to find an old friend from many years ago." ”

The local hunter who asked the question glanced at his companion, then greeted Nameless, "Come!" ”

So saying, he and his companions turned and returned to the tree where they had stood, dragged out from behind the tree a few pheasants and hares, and walked down the hill.

Nameless saw this and stepped along.

Although the two local hunters walked in front, they would always turn their heads from time to time to glance at Nameless, and then whisper to each other in a language that Nameless did not understand.

Obviously, although they plan to take Nameless back to the village, this does not mean that they have let down their vigilance against Nameless.

Nameless didn't mind this, after all, he was just an outsider, and it was normal for the locals of the mountain village to be wary of him.

He followed the two local hunters all the way down, and it wasn't long before he came to the village at the foot of the mountain.

At the entrance of the village, the women of each family sat together, talking and laughing.

They are holding dustpans and the like in their hands, some are picking herbs, some are picking wild vegetables, and some are holding their children, simply chatting.

Their faces were full of smiles and chatter, and there was not a word that no one could understand.

Upon the sight of the two local hunters returning, two women in the crowd immediately stood up to greet them, apparently their wives.

Soon, though, everyone's attention was drawn to the nameless man who was following behind the two local hunters.

They looked at Nameless, who was dressed in "strange costumes" and looked very different from them, with a look on their faces that was a little surprised, curious, and a little puzzled, and even if there was a burst of grunting discussion.

Nameless calmly faced the stares of everyone, he knew that everyone was discussing something about him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, because they were just passers-by in each other's lives, and maybe after today, they would never see each other again.

After a long while, the local hunter turned to Nameless and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Earlier, when they asked Nameless about his origin on the mountain, Nameless had said that he had come to find someone, but he had the impression that the people in the village seemed to have lived in this mountain since they were children and had never gone out, so no one should have the opportunity to make friends with outsiders.

Nameless replied, "I'm looking for Mu Yingxiong, he may not be called by that name now." ”

mentioned the name of Mu Yingxiong, Nameless turned his head and looked at the village.

He didn't know how Mu Yingxiong found such a place, but since Mu Yingxiong chose to live in seclusion here, there must be something here that attracted Mu Yingxiong.

Maybe he can take this opportunity to take a good look here.

When the local hunter heard the nameless mention of the name "Mu Yingxiong", he shook his head and said, "Here, no." ”

Obviously, he was telling Nameless that there was no one named Mu Yingxiong in their village.

Nameless looked at the local hunter and asked, "Can I walk around the village?" ”

The local hunter frowned, but finally nodded: "Yes, but, I, follow." ”

It was absolutely impossible for Nameless to move around the village alone, and Nameless had to be accompanied by a local if he wanted to walk around.

But it's not so much an accompaniment as it is surveillance.

Nameless also understood what this local hunter meant, and he didn't refuse, nodding his head and agreeing, "Okay." ”

"Let's go."

The local hunter waved his hand, and then walked towards the village, and Nameless naturally followed with steps.

Behind Nameless, the villagers' discussion continues.

Walking on the dirt road in the middle of the village, looking at the slightly low thatched huts on both sides of the dirt road, it can be seen that the living standard of this village is not good, and even a little poor, but judging from the smiles on the faces of the villagers who sat at the entrance of the village before, they do not seem to complain about the current life, but enjoy it.

The reason for this may be the truth, goodness and beauty in their hearts, or it may be because these mountains block their vision.

If they have the opportunity to see the world outside the mountains, maybe everything in front of them will no longer be a good life, but a painful hell for them.

Under the leadership of the local hunters, Nameless went all the way and also met more local villagers.

Most of these villagers sat in front of the courtyard gate of each house, or walked in the direction of the village entrance, when they saw the nameless, they inevitably had to look twice, and curiously asked a few words to the local hunter who led the way, and then passed by, and there was no other intersection.

Along the way, they gradually came to the end of this village, which was neither too big nor too small.

By the time he got here, Nameless finally made some different discoveries.

It was a courtyard that didn't look very different from the others, the only difference was that he could clearly smell the smell of boiling herbs wafting from this courtyard.

It's a taste that is absolutely not found in other people's homes.

He looked at the courtyard and asked the local hunters around him, "Who is the person who lives here?" ”

The local hunter replied, "Ah Xiong, doctor. ”

When he heard the name "Ah Xiong", Nameless knew that the person he was looking for should be here.

Thinking so, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and the local hunter hurriedly followed, and the look of vigilance on his face became even worse.

Ah Xiong is the only doctor in their village, no matter who is sick, he has to go to Ah Xiong to see a doctor, if this outsider wants to do something to Ah Xiong, he will definitely not let this outsider go!

The courtyard door of Ah Xiong's house was open, and standing outside the door, Nameless could clearly see that there were some small stoves in the courtyard, and the stoves were racked with jars that were obviously very rough in workmanship, and there was medicinal juice steaming in them.

In front of the small stoves, there was a figure in simple linen clothes squatting on the ground, holding a tattered pu fan in his hand, slowly fanning the wind.

This person's back looks muscular, and it also makes Nameless feel very familiar.

The last time he saw this back, it seemed to be twenty years ago.

Just as Nameless thought of this, the local hunter looked at Ah Xiong's back and shouted, Ah Xiong heard this shout and slowly turned around, he first glanced at the local hunter, handed him a reassuring look, and then turned his gaze to Nameless.

He looked at Nameless, and there was not much surprise on his slightly darkened face, for he had already sensed Nameless's arrival the moment Nameless walked into the village.

"Big brother."

Mu Yingxiong, who looked at the pseudonym Ah Xiong, shouted out this "big brother" who had not been exported for 20 years.

When Mu Yingxiong heard this "big brother", a touch of nostalgia for the past couldn't help but appear on his expressionless face.

He slowly stood up and said, "Yingming, how long has it been since we've seen each other. ”

Ying name, Mu Ying name, this is the name of Nameless when he was in Mu Fu, and no one has called him that for many years.

Nameless pursed his lips and responded to Mu Yingxiong: "It's been more than twenty years, big brother, how are you doing?" ”

In fact, seeing such a difficult living environment, Nameless didn't think that Mu Yingxiong would live well, but everyone has their own aspirations, some people pursue glory and wealth, and some people may not care about the enjoyment outside of these souls.

And he clearly knows that Mu Yingxiong is such a person.

Otherwise, how could Mu Yingxiong be able to live in seclusion in such a small mountain village for more than 20 years!

Mu Yingxiong smiled slightly in the face of nameless concern and replied, "I'm doing well." ”
