Chapter Eighty-Four: Longmen Village
It's dusk!
In the small village at the foot of the mountain, a few wisps of cooking smoke floated slowly, three or five young children ran and played in the village, and the big black dog lay lazily outside the house.
There were farmers still working on the edge of the fields, and smoke was already rising from the village, and the smell of food was coming from the village.
The clouds and mist in the mountains are faint, which makes this old pine ridge even more precipitous.
The shepherd boy played the shepherd flute, tactfully and melodiously, which set off this rural picture scroll more peaceful and tranquil.
This is a quiet and peaceful village.
Pedal Pedal –
The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the small village from afar, and the big black dog was frightened, arched himself, grinned his teeth, and watched warily into the distance.
Two horses, one black and one white, galloped and slowed down their hooves when they arrived at the entrance of the village.
The Hyss –
The horses were held to the reins.
Ah no.
Among them, black is not a horse, it seems to be a head .... Donkey?
A black donkey!
"This Longmen Village looks a little fairy." Riding a white horse is a son and brother who wears a long sword.
He is tall, handsome and chic, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Riding a dark horse... The black donkey is a handsome young man with angular facial features, a long knife hanging from his waist, and his temperament is not as sharp as the recklessness of the rivers and lakes.
It's not as weak as a reader, but a little indifferent, and it looks very gentle.
After listening to Brother Gongzi's words, the calm young man did not speak, but looked at the village, half speechless.
"What's wrong?" Brother Childe asked.
"Nothing." The calm young man came back to his senses and smiled: "I just feel that this village is very clean." ”
When Brother Gongzi heard this, his face sank, and he turned his head to look at the village with a little vigilance in his eyes.
These two people are Li Yanchu and Bai Hongtu, who went into the mountains to find Longmen Village.
Li Yanchu did not ride a horse this time, but rode the donkey in the Taoist temple.
Many masters like to ride something, such as riding a bull, a crane, a dragon, or a tiger.
There are also those who like to ride donkeys.
Li Yanchu couldn't see whether this big black donkey had spirituality or not, but all the residues of the hundred-year-old tonic that Li Yanchu had boiled were fed to Da Hei.
There is also the medicinal residue of refining the Qi Enhancement Pill, and after taking it, this black donkey gradually became stronger and stronger, and his strength also increased.
Li Yanchu didn't pay attention to it at first, but later he accidentally discovered that Da Hei's strength had become very strong.
One jump can be two feet high.
Li Yanchu was very surprised by this, and his first thought was that this donkey had become a sperm!
But after looking at it with the Qi Hope Technique, Da Hei's body did not have demonic energy, but had a faint aura.
Only then did he dispel the idea of inviting Bai Hongtu to eat donkey meat to replenish his body.
The black donkey's hooves can deal with zombies, and he once suspected that Master Xuancheng Daoist raised this black donkey just in case of emergency.
It's just that he made money later, and he didn't miss this bit of donkey meat, so he never poisoned him.
"Uh-"
"Uh-"
Da Hei was caressed by Li Yanchu's hand on the donkey's head, and let out a cry of joy, thinking that the master liked to run faster than the white horse.
As everyone knows, Li Yanchu had donkey meat in his mind, and the donkey meat was burned in a flash.
Bai Hongtu also glanced at Da Hei, his eyes were a little strange.
Boy.
He had never seen a donkey running so fast, full of explosive power, and its physical strength seemed to be endless.
And the donkey doesn't look muscular, it's tall and mighty, and it hasn't grown in size.
He glanced at Li Yanchu covertly.
Well.
What man rides what donkey.
"Lao Bai, what kind of eyes do you have?" Li Yanchu said suddenly.
So sharp... Bai Hongtu panicked and smiled: "I'm thinking about how we should carry out an investigation." ”
Li Yanchu nodded and said with relief: "It's rare that you are so attentive this time." ”
An old man walked over, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum: "Two guest officers, are you going to enter the mountain?" It's getting late, why don't you just stay at my house for one night, it's cheap. ”
An old man who is simple and has a philistine.
And the money... Bai Hongtu frowned, where did he come from such an old man who is good at business.
"How much is a night?" Li Yanchu said lightly.
"A tael of silver for a night." The old man held out a finger.
Li Yanchu stared at him for a while and grinned.
Bai Hongtu was reluctant, and shouted: "One or two silver, you and our brothers are fat sheep, right?" ”
The old man smiled honestly: "There are heavy mountains and mountains around here, but we are a village in Longmen Village, and if the guest officer wants to settle down, he can only rest here with us." ”
Bai Hongtu smiled angrily: "Old man, look at our dress, do you understand?" ”
"Aren't you afraid that my son will be angry and kill you?"
Bai Hongtu's eyes were cold, and his tone became more and more cold.
The old man smiled honestly: "The two of them are upright, they are both rich and noble people, where would they kill people for just one or two pieces of silver." ”
Bai Hongtu said coldly: "What if it's the kind of reckless rivers and lakes with a knife head and bloody heads? ”
The old man touched his head and said with a smile: "How dare that kind of person come forward to collect money, he has long been hiding far away." ”
Bai Hongtu was stunned, and after a moment he laughed: "Something." ”
Li Yanchu also smiled, is it so real?
Not only did the two not get angry, but they also threw out a tael of silver.
The old man took it cautiously and led the two of them towards his house.
The old man's wife died early, and there was a son at home, the son was sick in bed all the year round, and the young daughter-in-law was waiting.
The old man told the two about the difficult situation at home, and said that he couldn't help it.
Li Yanchu said with a smile: "In this way, it is our rudeness. ”
The old man hurriedly waved his hand: "The son said this, and it will torment the old man." ”
"Old man, have you ever seen a man named Zhang Hai, who collects antiques and came to your village a few days ago." Li Yanchu asked.
"Zhang Hai?" The old man pondered for a moment and said, "The old man has some impressions, the old man also invited him to live at home, but he was rejected by that Zhang Guanren. ”
"Oh?" Li Yanchu asked, "Does the old man know where Zhang Hai lives?" ”
The old man showed a dissatisfied look on his face, and frowned: "Zhang Guanren lives in the widow's house in the east of the village. ”
Widow Zhou.... Li Yanchu asked, "Can you tell me about this Zhang Hai?" ”
The old man's face showed a look of embarrassment: "The old man is old, and he really can't remember." ”
As soon as the words fell.
Li Yanchu handed over two taels of silver without any fireworks, and said softly: "The old man helps, if you think about it, this money is yours." ”
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum: "This son is really generous, and the old man seems to have suddenly remembered something." ”
From this old man's mouth, the two learned that Zhang Hai had come to Longmen Village ten days ago.
He didn't leave until three days ago, and he stayed at Widow Zhou's house during that time.
