The village is not large, with only a dozen families.

It was already evening, and the people who had gone out for a day of work had returned to their homes, sitting in twos and threes at the door of several households, chatting and gossiping.

Seeing Xu Changsheng, the people who were talking were obviously stunned, but they didn't expect that there were still people coming from this barren mountain and wilderness, and they were still a young boy, carrying a wooden sword on his back, and most of them were a ranger.

Xu Changsheng also saw them, and walked over with a smile, "A few uncles, I am from Shanshui County outside, and I want to go to the Yugu County next door, passing by your land, and I hope to spend the night." ”

The whole human world has a common official dialect, which can be used on the four continents, but specific to each place, there are still their own dialects, but most of them are still born from the official dialect, but the intonation is a little different. As for whether the same county is the same county or the same county, the words spoken are naturally the same.

A few middle-aged men sitting at the head of the village smoking dry cigarettes looked at each other a few times, and the farmer sitting in the middle replied: "This is not good, we have no habit of entertaining outsiders, you should ask someone else." ”

Xu Changsheng didn't expect such an answer, and was stunned for a moment, "There is a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, he arched his hand and walked towards the village. I thought it would go smoothly, after all, it was just a night's stay, and it was nothing serious, but I didn't expect it to be a closed door. But he didn't blame others for this, it was people's right to stay or not.

The village far away in the mountains is not rich at all, and most of the villages are still thatched houses, and even brick houses cannot be built.

Most of the men sit at the door, while the women work at home to eat.

Seeing Xu Changsheng, they all looked at each other, this village is really far away from the world, and often they haven't seen an outsider for several years.

Every family asked, but they all shook their heads and waved their hands to refuse. Xu Changsheng was also a little incredulous, how could the people in this small village be so stylish?

Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the village, Xu Changsheng was also a little anxious, could it be that he had met the village tonight, and he still had to sleep in the mountains?

After asking the last family at the end of the village, they still refused, Xu Changsheng had no choice, and was about to leave the village, but suddenly saw a few fenced grass huts in the hidden place behind.

Xu Changsheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over, only to see an old woman cleaning up at the door, different from the previous opening, Xu Changsheng said: "Grandma, it's getting late, I don't know if I can stay here for one night, don't worry, I'll pay." ”

The old woman was old and frail, and she looked up slowly on crutches.

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, only to see that there was a scar on the old woman's face that went directly from her forehead to her chin, and it looked like the whole person had been split in half and then stitched together.

The old woman struggled to open her cloudy eyes, and when she saw Xu Changsheng's dodgy gaze, she also knew that her appearance was a little scary, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Xu Changsheng also felt that his actions were probably a little hurtful, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry, I will only stay for one night, and I will leave early tomorrow morning, come, this is one or two silver, all of which is my room money tonight." ”

The old woman shook her hand and said vaguely: "You don't need to give money, you can live if you want, anyway, my wife is alone." ”

Xu Changsheng was overjoyed, in the end, he still met a place to live, and he didn't have to sleep in the open anymore.

Then he climbed over the fence and helped the old woman clean up the crops that had been dried in the morning.

By the way, Xu Changsheng helped Zhang Luo with dinner, and he also took out a piece of bacon wrapped by Aunt He from the mustard seeds, and stewed it over a high fire, the old woman didn't have many teeth, and only in this way could she barely swallow it.

When cooking, Xu Changsheng also asked about the origin of the village.

The village is called a distant mountain village, and has always lived in this deep mountain, and it is said that it came here when the world was in turmoil, and later heard that it was too peaceful outside and did not move the nest, so it will live here.

Xu Changsheng also asked why he hadn't seen any young people in this village, most of them were some old people. The old woman hesitated for a while before saying that she had gone outside, and that it was not good to stay in this village, so it was better to go out.

Xu Changsheng was still a little suspicious, the young man had gone out, why didn't he even have a child? But he didn't ask much.

As for why this small village is so reluctant to meet outsiders, he does not dare to ask, he has come when he comes, and he must not still force people to receive him warmly.

While eating dinner, the old woman suddenly said: "Housheng, don't go out this night, no matter what noise you hear at night, don't go out." ”

Xu Changsheng's hand holding the rice bowl suddenly stopped, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

The old woman ate slowly, "Just don't go out." This is the rule of the village. ”

Until Xu Changsheng finished dinner, he was still confused, could it be that there was something else to pay attention to in this town? Thinking about it, he also launched the pupil technique, staring at the old woman several times, but no matter how you look at it, she is an ordinary person.

I don't care anymore, maybe there is something taboo in this town, anyway, I just stayed overnight for one night, and I left tomorrow morning, so I can't take care of anything.

So after helping to wash the dishes, Xu Changsheng went back to another room, according to the old woman, his son lived in the past, but when his son entered the mountain once, he was caught by the big insect in the mountain and never came back.

Xu Changsheng, who listened to it, was also a little frightened, but it was better than outside. Although he may not be taken away by the big worm, it is better to have less than more.

Night.

Xu Changsheng also listened to the old woman go back to the room, so he took out the wolf hair, wanting to call Da Lu out to play.

But Da Lu, who usually comes out as soon as he calls, is reluctant to come out again this time, no matter how Xu Changsheng calls.

There was no way, Xu Changsheng had no choice but to blow out the oil lamp and sleep with his clothes.

"Ahh

Sleeping until midnight, Xu Changsheng was suddenly woken up by a scream, it was still dark outside, and he didn't know what time it was, but there was still screaming outside.

Xu Changsheng was shocked, this was a person's scream, but there was no movement in the village, could it be that he was the only one who heard it? Could it be that the old woman told herself not to go out because of this incident?

Xu Changsheng also adhered to the principle that more things are better than less, and he still remained motionless. But in my heart, it was as if I had done something wrong, listening to that voice, someone must have suffered a mishap, I obviously heard it, and I still stayed here to sleep peacefully?

Although I haven't read much, my parents have told me since I was a child to be kind, good will be rewarded, and evil will be rewarded.

And before he practiced martial arts, he was able to think about the chivalrous and righteous things, but now that he has learned martial arts, he has become cringe-induced and can't do it?

Thinking of this, Xu Changsheng suddenly brightened.

He got up and opened the hall door, rushed into the darkness, and swept in the direction of the scream.

The village was already small, and in a few breaths, Xu Changsheng arrived at the house that was screaming.

The door of the courtyard was wide open, and it was pitch black and silent, as if it was not this family that had just screamed, but in this neighborhood, and even in the entire village, only this family had opened the door.

The surroundings became more and more silent, and Xu Changsheng couldn't help but lower his voice, at this time, he didn't know what had happened here, and he didn't know what was going to happen next. If he is a cultivator, it is okay, and he can know it clearly with a sweep of his spiritual sense, but he is only an individual cultivator, and he has not even reached the body cultivation of the Triple Blood Cultivation Realm.

Standing here, he couldn't see anything, Xu Changsheng exerted force under his feet, jumped directly on the roof next to him, and landed silently, even if he stepped on the thatched roof, there was no change.

Xu Changsheng's pupil technique was only slightly obvious in this night, but it was still hazy, and the already crooked jade toad also hid behind the clouds at this moment.

Cautiously looked towards the house, and suddenly saw that a black shadow seemed to flash in the house, and when Xu Changsheng fixed his eyes again, there was nothing.

Xu Changsheng didn't take out the "Changsan", he didn't know any swordsmanship, and it would be a burden to take out the long sword at this moment.

Let go of cultivation, the fist intent on the body flows, and the body protects itself.

Xu Changsheng jumped off the roof, and a leap entered the courtyard of the house, and there was still silence all around, even if it was so loud just now, no one came out to check.

The open door devoured Xu Changsheng's gaze like an abyss, just waiting for him to enter.

Clenching his fists, Xu Changsheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and stepped into the house.

There were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the hall, and there was nothing else to see, Xu Changsheng sniffled, and only smelled a faint smell of decay.

Xu Changsheng slowed down and turned around to go to another room.

It's a bedroom, and the beds are neatly folded, as if no one has slept at all.

The young man became more and more frightened, and the fist intent on his body flowed quickly, and he turned around with a punch, straight to the point!

A huge fist shadow appeared in the air, but as soon as it appeared, it disappeared as if it had hit a wall, but there was nothing in front of it.

Xu Changsheng rushed out of the house in a flash and appeared in the courtyard.

"Huh~"

A sound appeared on the roof, Xu Changsheng kicked it, his figure jumped high, and the volley opened in the air to turn over the river and the sea, the fist intent converged between the two fists, rotating uncertainly, and the water was impermanent, but at this moment, it revealed the three with the help of the fist intent.

Xu Changsheng raised his right fist high, no longer caring about the tangible and invisible, and punched at the roof.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on the withered yellow thatch, and it waved its claws at Xu Changsheng's fist.

"Zi~"

The claws collided with the fists, making a piercing sound.

The fist intent was unstoppable, and it pressed up directly, and the black shadow roared, and then disappeared into the darkness in a flash. The weak thatch couldn't withstand the heavy fist intent at all, and collapsed with a bang.

Xu Changsheng didn't care so much, his feet lightly touched the beam, and he turned over and rose into the air again.

Looking down at the ground, there was no more black shadow.

It seems that he escaped.

After Xu Changsheng landed, he turned the family inside and out again, but there was still no gain.

He couldn't see anything here, so Xu Changsheng planned to come back tomorrow morning, and by the way, ask the villagers of this distant mountain village what they were hiding.

Walking on the mud road in the moonlight, the houses on both sides were still silent, and there was not even a lively figure, Xu Changsheng also felt abnormal.

When Xu Changsheng returned to the end of the town and pushed open the door of the house where he was staying.

A figure stood behind the door, staring at him with a gloomy expression.
