Knock knock!!

The ringing of bells echoed through the stockade.

The young and middle-aged people in the village gathered at the gate of the village.

It is a village built on the mountain, the houses are all made of bamboo and wood, and the roof is covered with a layer of thatch.

Under the eaves hung one wind lamp after another.

At this time, the black clouds of the stockade are overwhelming, which seems to indicate that the wind and rain are coming.

People wore short shirts and large bamboo hats on their heads.

Outside the stockade, dozens of black riders lined up.

One person held high a triangular black flag, and the person was tall.

Raised high and fluttering in the wind.

The owner of the village was an old man, carrying the box with two men, and walked to the leader of the black knights.

"This is this year's annual money."

The leader didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little silent.

The hearts of all the people in the stockade were lifted.

After a while, the voice slowly sounded.

"This year's annual money has risen, you don't have enough!"

There was a surge of anger in everyone's hearts, but they dared not speak out.

The annual money has risen three times in a row.

"I'll come back in a while, and I'll get my New Year's money ready at that time!"

With that, the Black Rider quickly departed.

After the Black Rider left.

Only then did everyone dare to curse, but they still carefully kept their voices down.

For fear of being heard by the other party.

At this moment, a slightly immature voice sounded.

"Are we really going to be oppressed by them all the time!"

All eyes converged on a small, dark-skinned boy.

It's not as tall as the steel fork in your hand.

"There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of them, we can organize to rebel against them!"

The boy was small, but his voice was very loud.

Everyone thought it was ridiculous, and no one paid attention to what a child said.

Although they dare to complain, they will never dare to take up arms to resist.

The old village owner sighed helplessly, "It's all scattered, let's disperse." ”

"There are only a dozen of them, so many of us, we are so scared by them, we are really cowardly!"

The boy screamed unconvinced from behind.

............

As the sun sets, the sky is blood-red.

The wind in the distance let out a low, suppressed roar, like a wounded beast.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu stepped on the muddy road.

It has been raining in the forest for seven or eight days.

There are also many swamps on the road, and people can fall into them if they are not careful.

If it were an ordinary person, it was estimated that he would have died seven or eight times along the way.

There was a suffocating haze in the air, making it impossible to see the road ahead.

On the ground lay black corpses one after another, what seemed to be some kind of bird.

This journey has been extremely difficult.

Li Ping'an turned over the cow and stretched.

There are no ghosts in this forest, let alone food.

During this period, Li Ping'an also picked a few fruits.

carried forward the style of respecting the old and loving the young, and kindly let the old cow taste it first.

As a result, the old cow turned into a splatoon after eating.

Walk all the way, spray all the way.

Li Ping'an shook his head, it was really poisonous.

Then he threw the fruit away.

Lao Niu was so angry that he didn't let Li Ping'an ride himself for several days.

Another day, Li Ping'an was lazily lying on the back of a cow

Walking in the forest, suddenly three wild wolves jumped out in front of them.

They all have gray coats and thin bodies, and they must have not eaten for many days.

The greedy gaze swished at him, and his long tail was flattened, like a saber about to be unsheathed.

The excitement in his eyes was uncontrollable, as if he was happy that he had finally found food.

The old cow barked excitedly.

Li Ping'an also jumped up suddenly, and screamed excitedly.

"Quick! Don't let them run away!! ”

Old Cow: "Moo! ”

The three wild wolves subconsciously took a step back, and suddenly a feeling of fear was born.

"Whew~"

The instinct of the three wolves told them that this guy was not to be messed with.

So he ran away with his tail between his legs.

A furious cry rang out behind him.

"Moo!!"

"Chase, chase."

Li Ping'an waved his cane excitedly.

Not much.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu each held a wolf leg and gnawed.

Although there is still some dragon meat, the taste is really unpalatable, and it can only be filled.

It's still delicious wolf meat.

The fatty meat is also fat but not greasy, tender and fragrant.

The next layer is lean meat, which becomes more fragrant the more you chew it.

Fat and thin, with clear layers, and no sharp edges.

After nibbling on the wolf meat, continue on the road.

This is a big mountain, known as a hundred thousand mountains.

Thousands of cliffs, mountains creeping.

Mountains on one side and deep valleys on the other.

It is crooked and dizzying.

Passing through the 100,000 Mountains is the end of the North Road.

Sea.

Li Ping'an fantasized about the appearance of the sea.

A small river more than five meters wide appeared in front of him, and a huge village appeared in Lao Niu's field of vision.

"I'm finally seeing popularity."

Li Ping'an smiled.

I washed my face with clean water by the river.

The river flows unhurriedly, deep but not deep, shallow or shallow.

It is gathered by mountain springs, gurgling and making sounds.

It's comfortable to sleep here.

Li Ping'an slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and lay on the small stone pool.

Open the sword gourd.

He went inside and put the snake gall of the dragon inside, and sealed it for several days.

It's almost time to think about it, and take a bite.

It's like swallowing a knife.

Slide all the way down the throat to the stomach and then the whole body.

The power of the whole body is mobilized, and the power of the whole body seems to be connected into a line, like stars running.

It took a while for the feeling to go away.

Li Ping'an moved his muscles and bones and made a crisp sound.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the forest.

A boy emerged from the forest and was slightly stunned when he saw Li Ping'an.

If you look at the costumes, you will know that the other party is from out of town.

The little boy couldn't help but be a little wary and a little curious.

Li Ping'an took a cane and untied a fishing line that was entangled.

I was ready to catch a few fish.
