Volume 2 Beyond the Mountains Chapter 65 River Cat Village
"Didn't I tell you not to go? Why don't you listen!"
The old woman yelled.
The face was hideous, and the already scarred face was twisted together, and the folds were staggered, making the scar crawl around the face like a centipede.
"I, I heard someone screaming and wanted to go and see if I could help?"
The young man's face turned pale, he didn't expect that he had good intentions, but he ended up with such a result. Could it be that all those who do chivalry and righteousness end up like this?
"Oh, help, all of us in the village are going to be killed by you!" the old woman screamed.
"You...... You...... You goddamn evil spirit, I would not have left you if I had known about it, you get out of here. As she spoke, the old woman stretched out her talon-like hands and pushed him out.
Xu Changsheng still wanted to explain something, but he felt that no matter how he explained, he didn't know anything now, he didn't know what secrets this village had, he didn't know why he couldn't go out at night, and he didn't know what happened last night.
Walking on this deserted dirt road in despair, Xu Changsheng didn't think about whether what he did just was right or not, anyway, he did it as he wished, if he didn't go out at that moment just now, he might not forgive himself in this life.
It's a pity that the family was not saved.
He didn't know where to go, so Xu Changsheng lightly jumped onto the plane tree in the middle of the village, sat on the thick branch, leaned his back against the trunk, bent one leg and stepped on the branch, and one foot dangled in the air.
Looking at the jade toad looming in the clouds, I suddenly remembered Tang and Song, and I don't know how that kid went to the galaxy, and I don't know where the galaxy is, but it must be in the sky. But in his way, he must be more chic than himself. I don't know if there is anyone up there, if so, do you know that he is the powerful Song Tang in the world.
I also remembered Liang Mi's little slug, and followed Tan Xiao, I heard that Tan Xiao was a Taoist saint, Liang Mi followed him, how could he not suffer. Maybe the next time I meet him, I'll have to rely on him to cover him, but with his temperament, he must be very enthusiastic.
I also thought of Su Sheng, I don't know if I arrived at Xianmen, I don't know how he and Sun Yuexuan are doing, it should be fine. Will the next time I see them, even if I have children? I don't know if I will meet them again.
I also thought of Wu Weihu, I don't know where I traveled with his father, but Wu Kui is also a great immortal, so he should be doing well. The kid also said that the next time we meet, I will have to help myself build a weapon, what is good? Then the sword, even if you don't use it, it looks good with it.
I also thought of Aunt He, I don't know if I am used to it in the past few days. But after all, she will be a lot lonely, after all, no one steps into her small courtyard every day and shouts "Auntie" there.
remembered Aunt Li in the wine shop before, and I don't know if I was caught up by the person in the python robe.
I even thought of Li Ruan, the sister I was thinking of, the immortal lock was still lying in her mustard seed, and it had already been rubbed and shiny by Xu Changsheng. The green shirt she gave was also lying quietly in her mustard seeds, neatly folded by herself. Wait for the next time I go to see her, it's good to put it on, anyway, Li has a wide slit, and when I grow taller and grow up, it's just right to put it on.
Somehow, I suddenly felt that there was less alcohol, and it was better to be stronger, even if I couldn't drink much, but I could still get drunk.
No wonder Tang and Song often said to themselves, walking the rivers and lakes, this sword can not be practiced, and the fist can not be beaten, but this wine cannot be drunk.
Before you know it, the sky is white.
The people of the village opened the doors one after another, and one by one rushed out, running around, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, one walked under the plane tree, saw Xu Changsheng, and shouted, "People are here!"
The villagers hurriedly surrounded him from all directions, staring at Xu Changsheng viciously, and a few of them were holding tools such as nail rakes in their hands.
"That's him, that's him last night. ”
"That's right, it's he who broke the feeding day and prevented the cat god from eating. ”
"It's over, none of us will survive tonight. ”
"It's him, and if it weren't for him, we would all be alive and well. ”
"Kill him, kill him now!"
......
The people below were hustle and bustle, and the angry few people even grabbed the sand and stones on the ground and threw them at Xu Changsheng, hoping to knock him down from the tree.
The boy was also a little angry, and he didn't even figure out what was going on, so he said that he was going to kill himself.
But getting angry won't solve the problem, and it's important to figure out what's going on.
Then Xu Changsheng's curved left foot exerted force, directly brought the whole person up, stood on the thick branch, and looked at the villagers below.
With a hard stomp, the leaves of the entire plane tree fell one after another.
Xu Changsheng drew a large circle with both hands, and his fist intent gushed out, driving the leaves of the entire big tree to form a round ball, enveloping him.
Then he exerted his force violently, pressed it to the middle, and the leaves shrank sharply, and they were held in Xu Changsheng's hands, forming a small round ball, and the leaves in the middle circulated wildly.
The villagers below were also stunned for a long time, and no one spoke anymore.
Xu Changsheng saw that the effect had also been achieved, so he stopped using force and threw the ball into the sky.
Without the oppression, the ball exploded.
The leaves are sprinkled down.
"Can I say a few words now?"
No one answered.
Xu Changsheng also felt that something was wrong, so he jumped off the branch, and everyone below scattered one after another, leaving a large open space in the middle for Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng showed a kind smile and said: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, I don't know what happened last night, but I heard someone screaming at the time, so I went out to see if I could help anything, although I am not a god, but I can beat a few ordinary people." ”
Everyone looked at Xu Changsheng's smile, for fear that he would do something amazing again and step back again.
One of them had the audacity to say, "Then you can't leave today." ”
Xu Changsheng replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not leave today." ”
Hearing this, the villagers seemed to be relieved.
There was a big man at the head, who was the one who replied to Xu Changsheng at the head of the village last night, turned around and waved his hand, "Big guys, go back first, let me talk to this young man, and I will tell you any news later." ”
"Yes, let's disperse first, I definitely won't leave today, so don't worry. Xu Changsheng echoed.
When the crowd dispersed, the man glanced at Xu Changsheng cautiously and walked cautiously towards him.
Xu Changsheng also smiled at him, the man was startled again, and wanted to retreat, but the young man also understood, so he simply waited for the man to come over.
In the end, Xu Changsheng pulled him hard, and the two sat down under the plane tree.
The man was still a little uncomfortable, and finally pulled out the old cigarette stick from behind his back, and took a few puffs to calm down a lot.
Xu Changsheng saw that it was almost time, so he asked, "Why couldn't you go out last night?"
The man took another hard sip before he said, "Don't worry, young man, I'll tell you slowly." ”
"Actually, our village was not originally called Yuanshan Village, but Kawacat Village. ”
"River Cat Village?" Xu Changsheng wondered.
The man nodded, "Yes, River Cat Village, you also saw the river, outside our village, as for the cat, I believe the young man also saw it last night." ”
The black shadow, as well as the outstretched claws, was said by this man, Xu Changsheng suddenly realized, it was really a bit like a cat, but the cat was wrapped in a black mist, and he really couldn't see it.
The man took another puff of dry smoke, and after a while, he said: "Our village is in this deep mountain, but it has been living well, and there are no wolves, insects, tigers and leopards to invade, presumably the young man is also a little suspicious." Among them, it is the cat god who is blessing, when our ancestors just moved here, there are many people who have become the belly of the tiger and leopard. ”
"It wasn't until someone found the cat god and offered the price that the cat god promised to protect us, and we villagers of River Cat Village were able to gain a foothold in this deep mountain. ”
Xu Changsheng was also silent, "What is that price?"
Actually, he guessed a little, but he wasn't sure.
The man stopped smoking, put the cigarette stick on the ground, and shrugged his head, "The human sacrifice sounds good, but it is actually just using our villagers as food." At first, we only had to eat the boys and girls in our village, but now that the boys and girls have been eaten, we are not willing to let go of our old bones.
Moreover, what was originally only required to be sacrificed once a year suddenly changed to three times a year a few years ago. We didn't want to, so it came to the village on its own. We also spontaneously changed our name, no longer calling it Kawacat Village, but renamed it Yuanshan Village. ”
He laughed self-deprecatingly as he spoke, maybe that's all they could do to resist.
Xu Changsheng was already dumbfounded, "Then why don't you resist and run away?"
"What Shaoxia said, we have all tried. There were those who fled, and those who fled, and before they had crossed the river, they vanished. ”
The man smiled bitterly, "Resist? We've only resisted once, and half of the village is gone." The cat god also said that if he dared to resist and make trouble on his feeding day, he would eat up all the people in our village the next night. ”
Speaking of which, Xu Changsheng also understood, it seems that last night was the so-called feeding day.
said that it is shelter, but in fact, it is just a fat sheep raised in captivity, and you can eat whichever you want.
The man continued: "Actually, we didn't go far to receive the young man last night, and that's the reason, but I didn't expect that Liu from the end of the village still left the young man in his short life. Alas, after all, it is impossible to hide from what should come. ”
"Liu is short-lived? Do you mean Granny Liu?"
The man was a little vague and didn't want to say more, so Xu Changsheng didn't ask much.
Thinking back to last night's battle, the cat demon is naturally a fairy-like existence to ordinary people, but it should not be much different from himself.
If I ask again, I don't know anything.
The man invited Xu Changsheng to his house for dinner, but Xu Changsheng shook his head and refused, and for the next day, Xu Changsheng sat on the plane tree, reading a book, or washing the flying sword.
He didn't practice martial arts anymore, because once he practiced, he would definitely have to consume his blood and qi, and he had to maintain his peak state now, waiting for the evening to come. There were also villagers walking around under the trees, but no one dared to point a finger at him.
Before I knew it, the sky was gradually darkening.
