Lin Beichen took the wine bowl, and the orange-yellow wine in the bowl shook with the swing of the carriage and the edge that was about to spill.

"This damn weather is terrible." The man cursed, then took a sip of wine, grabbed a handful of peanuts and peeled them and put them in his mouth.

Lin Beichen also took a sip of wine, this wine is spicy and spicy, obviously not a good wine, but in this cold winter, drinking such a sip of old wine can really save people's lives sometimes.

Lin Beichen wasn't worried about anything wrong with this drink, with his cultivation as an ordinary poison was useless to him at all.

"Brother, is there a Caojia Village nearby, are you familiar with it?"

The man asked, chewing on peanuts.

Lin Beichen unfolded the map of Tianguan, took a brief look, and then asked, "You are talking about Caojia Village, which is five miles to the east, right?"

"Five miles away? To the east? No wonder we turned around several times and didn't find it."

As he spoke, the man shouted outside, "Did Lao Zhao hear that? To the east."

"There's no way here, how do you go?"

"There's a path ahead that is blocked by snow, and you watch carefully, and you miss it. There's no way to Caojia Village."

Lin Beichen, who has a map of Tianguan, has a great advantage in seeing everything around, especially in identifying the road, as for whether the deer is pointing to Caojia Village, Lin Beichen doesn't know much, it doesn't matter if he is wrong, show them the way, and look at the face of this bowl of wine.

"Ouch, there's a little fork in the road ahead, and I can't really see it if I don't look closely." The driver in front shouted happily.

"Brother, thank you for showing you the way, do you want to continue your journey or go to Caojia Village with us to rest?" If you're going to the capital next, come with us, let's go to Caojia Village and we'll continue on the road tomorrow."

Lin Beichen thought about it for a while, these two people didn't look like good people, he pointed out the way to the village to each other, in case these two people wanted to do evil, wouldn't he bring a disaster to that village?

Anyway, he was not in a hurry to meet Lao Huang and them, so he delayed here for one night.

"It does look a little late this day, so I'll be cheeky to bother you two."

"Hahaha, it's too polite to bother, without you showing us the way, we might have to sleep in the wilderness."

"The two of you should be outsiders, why do you go to the place where birds don't in Cao Village?" Lin Beichen took the handful of peanuts handed over by the man and asked while peeling them.

"Outlander? Haha, I'm not a foreigner, my real surname is Cao, a single name is a Jiezi, I grew up in Caojia Village since I was a child, hehe, I haven't been back for more than ten years, I bring some surprises to the villagers."

Lin Beichen's eyes froze slightly, and he heard a trace of killing intent from this guy's mouth.

Lin Beichen immediately became vigilant, and said with a seemingly honest smile: "Surprise? You must have brought a lot of goods, right?"

Cao Jie smiled and shook his head.

"That's all sorts of specialties? Or maybe it's silk silk?"

Cao Jie shook his head again and again.

Lin Beichen said again: "That is the opportunity to get rich, the way to get rich?"

Cao Jie was slightly surprised, and looked Lin Beichen up and down: "Brother is not an ordinary person."

In this era, the lower-class people are generally very ignorant, and they may not have gone out of a radius of 100 miles in their lives, they live in a small village and my small city, and the things they know are only a little bit bigger than a palm, and Lin Beichen's knowledge in just a few words is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"I used to be a merchant for a few days, and I also traveled from south to north, and my brain is indeed more flexible than ordinary people."

Cao Jie smiled, "I see."

"I didn't bring these things back, I brought ...... with me."

At this time, there was a coughing sound from the coachman outside, Cao Jie immediately stopped talking, laughed dryly and said, "Don't talk about this, come on, drink."

Along the way, Cao Jie just drank, this guy drank a really good amount of alcohol, and he drank at least one jar of wine from the time Lin Beichen got in the car.

About two hours later, it was already dark, and they finally arrived

A small village.

There are 60 or 70 families in this village, and it is basically isolated from the rest of the world on weekdays, and every winter when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, the village completely loses contact with the outside world.

The villagers live a primitive life of sunrise and sunset, and the output in the fields is not high, and they rely on hunting in the nearby mountains or fishing in the river to subsidize their food sources.

In short, the villagers here live a life that is neither starving to death nor living well.

There was no one in the village to light the lights, it was pitch black, the sound of the horse's hooves of the carriage attracted the attention of many people, and the windows of several houses in front of the village were opened one after another, and the people inside looked out carefully.

"We're here."

The coachman pulled the reins, and the carriage came to a slow stop.

In Lin Beichen's eyes, he clearly saw that Cao Jie's eyes became extraordinarily bright, overdrawing a fierce fierce light, and it was obvious that this guy was full of resentment.

Cao Jie opened the curtain and walked out, standing in the carriage and shouting, "Folks, I, Cao Jie, are back."

The tranquility of the small mountain village is completely shattered.

One house after another opened its door, and hundreds of people walked out of the house.

These villagers all had a wooden face, looking at Cao Jie from a distance, and exchanged their heads and ears.

Lin Beichen probably listened to it, it turned out that Cao Jie's parents died when he was young more than ten years ago, and several relatives seized his family property, and then Cao Jie left his hometown and disappeared.

It's not a big deal, it's just a kid who works hard outside and finally comes home to find revenge on the enemy and get back what belongs to him.

This is the village chief walking out, this old man looks very old, his beard is white, I am afraid that he is not seventy or eighty years old.

The surrounding villagers stirred up torches, and the old man stared at a pair of white eyes and said in disbelief, "Are you Cao Jie?"

Cao Jie smiled, jumped off the carriage, and landed in front of the village chief, with a face almost on the village chief's face: "Second grandfather, are you old and dizzy?"

The village chief looked at Cao Jie carefully: "It's too dark to see really, but your voice and tone are indeed very similar to Cao Jie when he was a child."

"It's really Xiaojie, Xiaojie has a mole in his heart, you see that mole is exactly the same!"

The people around him immediately stared at Cao Jie by the light of the fire.

"What a little jack!"

"Xiaojie, you're back!"

Then the villagers began to greet Cao Jie warmly.

Cao Jie sneered: "Recognize me? I was chased away by you, and you don't feel scared at all when you see me coming back suddenly?"

"Xiaojie, we were also for your own good, we kept your house and land for you, we didn't move at all, someone planted it for you, and the money we earned was saved for you, let's take a walk, take you home to have a look."

The village chief was happy, grabbed Cao Jie's wrist, and pulled him towards the village.

Cao Jie did not refuse, and followed the village chief to the door of a dark house on the edge of the village.

Sister Cao looked at the holes on the mottled gate one after another, and had mixed feelings for a while.

The gate was the same as when he left.

Lin Beichen didn't pay too much attention to Cao Jie, but focused on the groom.

The groom sat on the wheel, never moving, and his breath was always deliberately constricted, like a flower shrunken into a flower bone, ready to bloom at any moment.

The bloom can be a beautiful thousand purples and thousands of reds, or it can be a highly toxic black smoke poisonous gas.

The villagers also inexplicably felt the strange aura on the horseman's body, so they didn't dare to come forward to talk, and looked at it from a distance at a loss.

They have no experience in dealing with outsiders.

The groom suddenly spoke, "Little brother, how long do you say it will take to kill all the people in this village?"

Lin Beichen said: "This village is like an ant nest, killing them all is just a gesture, can you tell me what mistakes they have made, why do you want to kill them?"

The groom laughed and poured it

Taking a sip of the liquor in the flask, he wiped his beard and said, "Your idea is somewhat naïve, you have a bunch of chickens, will you kill them because they have made a mistake? Definitely not, what determines whether they die or not is whether you want to eat chicken today, whether there are guests coming today, and whether there are businessmen who come to collect chickens today."

"There are thousands of reasons why this chicken will die today, but it has nothing to do with the chicken itself."

Lin Beichen said curiously, "What's the point of killing all the villagers to you?"

Ma Fu cracked his mouth: "The village god of Caojia Village is very unusual, but when every village god surnamed Cao of the past generations dies, he will lean over the new generation of village gods, this village has a history of thousands of years, how strong do you say the village god of this village should be?"

"So you're looking for the village god of this village."

The groom shook the whip in his hand: "No way, you always have to beg for a living, now someone has collected the village god, and set a level for the village god, the stronger the village god, the more valuable it is, how about the little brother, join us to make a few votes together, and I won't worry about it for the rest of my life!"

"Invite me in? I'm just an ordinary passerby, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to play with you!"

The groom laughed hehe: "Little brother, don't pretend, in this cold and snowy land, you are wearing a single clothes, even if you have no luggage, and you are not in a hurry, you say that you are a passerby, then you are really a liar!"

"What's more......" said the groom close to Lin Beichen and inhaled hard, sniffing the smell on Lin Beichen's shoulder.

This move made Lin Beichen feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother, don't look at your tattered clothes, but you don't have any human smell on you!"

Lin Beichen suddenly realized that his cultivation had reached his level, he was not afraid of the wind and cold and did not get dirty, so naturally there would be no body odor on his body, even if he was sweating profusely, there would be no smell.

The clothes on his body are all supernatural manifestations, not real fabric weaving, so there is no trace of human flavor on him, and this judgment is not wrong at all.

Lin Beichen didn't expect that he had such a big flaw in his body before, and he was used to being an immortal, and he didn't forget that there should be a smell in people.

"You can go down to slaughter the village, Cao Jie is afraid you can't." Lin Beichen could see that although Cao Jie's eyes were sparkling, he actually still had some attachment to this village.

If you really ask him to slaughter the village, he will definitely not be able to do it.

The groom smiled, "I don't expect him either, with the little brother here, let's make a move, the odds are greater!"
