Chapter 31: The Scholars of the Village

No one in the small village will come on weekdays, so as soon as Liu Xunxiang entered the village, there were villagers watching from the side, a little afraid of the gray crow on Liu Xunxiang's shoulder, so no one dared to come forward to ask, Liu Xunxiang wanted to step forward and take the initiative, but when he saw that these people looked at him with some fear in their eyes, he had to give up.

Just a little worried that he didn't know what to do, an old man walked out on crutches with the support of two young and strong young men, the old man looked Liu Xunxiang up and down, and asked: "Little Lao'er is the head of this village, what is the reason why Shaoxia came here?"

Seeing this, Liu Xunxiang arched his hand and said, "I have been here all the way, and I want to ask the village chief where this place is?"

Although this old man is only the village chief of this small village, but he is old and fine, after listening to Liu Xunxiang's words, he looked at Wang Panshan in the distance as if he was nothing, and then smiled: "This place is the border of Qin, it is very barren, if Shaoxia has any needs, you can go straight along this road, and you can see Wanxiongguan of my Qin State when you go down, where it is more prosperous, and there are also my Daqin's soldiers and Xianmen guards, maybe you can help Shaoxia." ”

Liu Xunxiang knew that the old man in front of him did not lie to himself, the Qin State has always been barren, but the folk customs are very strong, it is said that the Qin State was still very weak, and could only survive in the gap between the other three powerful countries like several other small countries, and later a generation of Qin Emperor Ying Xuan with great perseverance, cultivated the Qin State has been called the most chicken rib in the history of the imperial family, and finally led the Qin army of 120,000 to break the coalition army of 350,000 with a song "The Ballad of the Great Wind", and annexed the surrounding six countries in one fell swoop, and this battle also set an immortal reputation for the Qin State Iron Cavalry.

Later, Emperor Qin Yingxuan defeated the emperor who had been in the early stage of the Yunxiang Realm for many years with the cultivation of the peak of the rebirth realm, and so far, he was recognized by the other three kingdoms and became one of the four overlords of the Eastern Regions in one fell swoop.

Liu Xunxiang's heart moved, he didn't expect that he crossed Wangpan Mountain and actually came to the boundary of Qin State, but on the surface, he still said quietly and respectfully: "The kid is homeless, I don't know if the old man can let the kid live here for some time, and when the kid leaves, there will be a good reward." ”

Before the old man could speak, a sturdy young man behind him spoke: "Where did the barbarians come from, they all told you to go to Wanxiong Pass, and you still have to make an inch of progress here, and I blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Liu Xunxiang raised her eyelids and glanced at the young man, her cold eyes made the young man's back chill, and goosebumps immediately appeared on her body.

Seeing this, the old man opened his mouth and said, "Reckless, don't be rude. Then he glanced at Liu Xunxiang deeply and said: "If the young man wants to live, he can live, but the village is poorer, and the young man is fine." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Liu Xunxiang to reply, so he turned around and went back, but the young man named Manggu who followed the old man was very unwilling, and wanted to take the opportunity to say cruel words to Liu Xunxiang, but when he saw Liu Xunxiang's cold eyes, he hesitated in an instant, and finally had to say: "Since you live in the village, I hope you can treat this village as your own home, if I find out that you have other thoughts, I will not let you go even if I die." ”

Liu Xunxiang didn't pay attention to the recklessness, but walked directly to the side, preparing to choose a good place to build a grass hut before it gets dark and use it as a place to rest temporarily.

Reckless stared at Liu Xunxiang's back and clenched his fists fiercely.

Just when Liu Xunxiang was looking for a place to build a house, he remembered what had just happened, so he asked the gray crow: "Sword, what you just said is true?"

It turned out that when the old man came over, the crow sword told Liu Xunxiang that if you want to worship the sect in this Qin country, you must have a quota, and this quota is not like other countries, but every village to the family will be divided, but if you want to get this quota, there is a condition that you need to live in this village for three years, and because of this, Liu Xunxiang moved to stay.

The gray crow said: "When did this crow lie to you, this is all what my brothers who have been worshipping in the mountains in the past few days told me, and I also told you that the sect stationed in this Wanxiong Pass seems to be called the Great Sword Sect, and I heard that it is still the top sect of this Qin country." ”

At this point, Liu Xunxiang also heard the gentleman in the town say, saying that this Qin country is still martial, and the warriors use more swords, and the Qin Emperor Yingxuan relied on a sword of the Son of Heaven to kill millions of enemies in the world, thus establishing the status of Qin State's sword cultivation, and because of this, there is a saying in this world that Qin Xiu is 100,000, and sword cultivation is gone.

And the Great Sword Sect is one of the seven top sects of the Qin State, and the name of the ancestor of the sect, Bai Yue, who kills the gods, is even more terrifying in the Eastern Regions.

Although Liu Xunxiang was surprised that it was the Great Sword Sect that was guarding here, he didn't seem to be keen on sword cultivation, and said: "But I'm not a sword cultivator, and I don't really want to be a sword cultivator." ”

The gray crow glanced at him: "The Great Sword Sect is not all sword cultivation, besides, what you need now is to find a place full of spiritual energy to break through to the Condensing Vein Realm, and this place with abundant spiritual energy, is there anything better than the Great Sword Sect?"

Hearing what the crow said, it was okay to think about it, and it seemed that you could also see how different this sword cultivation method was.

Liu Xunxiang was not idle when talking to the gray crow, he found some wood and thatch, and he set up a simple thatched hut in the open space next to a house.

After setting up the thatched house, it was dark, and the hunters and peasant women in the village began to return to the village one after another, Liu Xunxiang just walked out of the thatched house to breathe, and a dark-skinned man carried a beast's leg, and walked over with a smile on his face, this man has many obvious scars, and there is a bright red scar on his right shoulder, which looks like a beast scratch, but this man doesn't care.

The swarthy man was stunned when he saw Liu Xunxiang and the thatched hut next to him, and then asked with a smile: "Little brother, did you move to our village newly?"

Liu Xunxiang also replied with a smile: "Exactly, I bothered my brother, and I will ask my brother to take care of me in the future." ”

The dark man's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "We don't have any culture, and we can't afford the etiquette of you scholars, if the little brother doesn't dislike it, come to our house to eat at night, just luck today, I got a beast leg, I let my mother-in-law clean up, let's drink some wine in the evening." After speaking, he shook the beast's leg on his back.

Thinking that it was not good to save other people's face when he first arrived, Liu Xunxiang smiled and promised to come later.

The swarthy man looked very happy when he saw Liu Xunxiang nodding in agreement, and muttered so much that he asked his girl to come back with some good wine later.

Not long after Liu Xunxiang left, a peasant woman walked over with a wooden basin of clothes and several other peasant women, followed by a delicate-looking young lady who was twisting a child's ear, and was still reprimanding something as she walked.

The peasant woman who had made an appointment to go to the river to wash clothes tomorrow took the little lady and the child to the door of the house, and the little lady was a little surprised to see the thatched hut next to her house.

The swarthy man obviously heard that his mother-in-law and the two dolls were back, so he shouted at home: "Girl, go to your uncle Sun to get some pepper wine, there are distinguished guests tonight." ”

The color of this pepper syrup wine is turbid, and when you drink it, there is a feeling that it feels like a line of fire burning from your mouth to your chest, and the merchants and nobles with a little status disdain this kind of wine, but even if it is not a good wine, but for these lowest-level villagers in the Qin State, they are only willing to spend a few taels of silver to satisfy their hunger during the New Year's Festival, and even the utensils containing this wine can let them smell it for a long time.

Xiao Niang was a little puzzled, what kind of big guest is here today, and she has to buy pepper wine.

The peasant woman was obviously a little distressed, and kept counting at the swarthy man, and the swarthy man was not annoyed, but just smiled hard and said something bad.

Soon, there was a smell of rice wafting from each household, and the childish child looked at the food in front of him that could only be eaten during the New Year, and wanted to take advantage of his father's inattention to reach out and steal it several times, but every time he was caught by the little mother and glared back.

The swarthy man looked at the woman with obvious anger on his face and the two dolls who were swallowing saliva at the food, so he rubbed his hands and said, "Wait, the road in the village is not easy to walk, wait." ”

The little lady smelled the fragrance of the food, and forced her stomach to rumble and protested: "Daddy, who is coming, if it doesn't work, let my brother eat some first and fill his stomach." ”

The swarthy man hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "People are scholars, we can't break the etiquette." ”

The peasant woman on the side snorted coldly: "You can still talk to the scholar like this, I think others are thin-faced and understand etiquette, and I am afraid of refuting your face, so I can deal with it, and you are a fool, and you take it seriously." ”

Hearing the woman's words, the swarthy man's face turned even redder, he had no culture, and he could only be in this barren village in this life, so in order not to let the doll take root in this village like himself, as long as he met a scholar, he liked to invite him to his home, back and forth several times, and the peasant woman really couldn't stand it, so she threatened to split the family, which made the swarthy man restrain a little.

Just when the swarthy man was at a loss, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Brother, I'm sorry, the little brother is late, so I've kept you waiting." ”

Hearing this voice, the swarthy man's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly got up and responded: "It's okay, it's okay, little brother come in, I'll send you to come to us for dinner." ”

Xiao Niang was a little puzzled, this cold voice was a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

At this moment, a fair-skinned, fair-faced teenager walked in with an apologetic face.

The appearance of this young man made Xiao Niang stunned, isn't this person a rich child with the annoying gray crow who can only talk at the entrance of the village, thinking of what the gray crow said, Xiao Niang's pretty face turned red again.

This disciple is still so thief-hearted, and followed him to his own home, which makes Xiao Niang feel ashamed and angry, how can this be good.
