"Wow, Wow!"

Before Yang Xiaoyang approached the gate of the village, he saw a yellow dog barking at him, and he looked fierce.

Yang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes, took out a piece of leftover meat, pouted and threw it at it.

He thought that the yellow dog would not bark if he accepted his bribe, but the yellow dog didn't even look at it.

Just when Yang Xiaoyang was embarrassed, someone in the village heard the barking of a dog, and a middle-aged man holding a torch walked out.

"What are you guys doing?" the middle-aged man's tone was not very friendly.

Yang Xiaoyang knew that he had disturbed other people's rest, so he hurriedly bowed, and said with some embarrassment: "We saw the fire here before, and there was no suitable place to spend the night nearby, so we wanted to come and spend the night." ”

Yang Xiaoyang saw that the middle-aged man was still a little hesitant, and continued: "This is the deer skin that I hit before I went down, and it was our reward for the night." ”

The middle-aged man didn't bother with the deerskin, but asked strangely: "Our village doesn't light up at night, how can there be fire?"

Li Congwen just got out of the car, and frowned when he heard it, "No, I saw it by the river at that time, how could it not be?"

Yang Xiaoyang also nodded, looking at the middle-aged man strangely.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, looked at a few more people, and waved his hand, "Forget it, you guys come in, there is just an empty house in the village, so there is no need for deerskins." ”

The middle-aged man waved at the yellow dog, and the dog wagged its tail and walked away with the meat in its mouth.

The middle-aged man led the three of them to a room, said that there were exactly three beds in it, and then said nothing more, and left.

Yang Xiaoyang entered the room and gently put down the box and looked at it.

found that the layout of this house was very similar to his previous home in Shuzhong, divided into inside and outside, separated by a curtain in the middle.

Yang Xiaoyang asked Ju Yeqi to sleep inside, and he and Li Congwen slept outside.

The village was not as quiet as it was outside, with occasional insect chirping and a kind of hissing sound.

Yang Xiaoyang had already slept during the day, and now he didn't feel sleepy, so he sat on the bed and prepared to cultivate for a while, and at this time, the qi of collusion was thick.

I can't digest it even if I suck it in, but what if I break through inexplicably?

It's just that he can't calm down, because Li Congwen always turns over when lying on the bed next to him.

"Why are you moving there all the time when you don't sleep?" Yang Xiaoyang shouted softly, he was afraid that if he continued to cultivate like this, he would go mad.

Li Congwen sat up after hearing this, "Xiaoyang, your ears are good, did you hear any strange sounds?"

"Yes, a hissing sound, I don't know what animal made it. Yang Xiaoyang replied casually.

"Sure enough, isn't it? Do you think it's a ghost scream?" Li Congwen said seriously.

Yang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes, and despised Li Congwen for being afraid of ghosts, "Don't be suspicious here, when I was a child in Southern Xinjiang, it was much more lively at night, and I didn't see any ghosts." ”

Li Congwen took a deep breath, lay down, and put the quilt on his head.

Yang Xiaoyang saw that he didn't move and was about to continue cultivating, but just as he was about to run the Qi Eating Method, he heard a slight movement at the door.

Yang Xiaoyang opened his eyes, listened intently for a while, and found that there was a slight rustling and hissing sound coming from the door, which should not be a human voice.

After thinking about it, I decided to check it out.

As soon as Yang Xiaoyang stood up, Li Congwen sat up, his eyes slightly red, staring at Yang Xiaoyang.

Yang Xiaoyang was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

Li Congwen took the broken sword sent by the second fool to the pillow, and said tremblingly: "Did you hear a ghost coming?"

Yang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes, "Where the hell did you come from? I was scared by the ancestor during the day and still haven't come back to my senses?"

After Yang Xiaoyang finished speaking, he ignored him, opened the door and took a look, and found that there was a grass snake coiled at the door, and the snake crawled away when it heard the movement.

Yang Xiaoyang didn't care, closed the door and sat on the bed.

"How's that? what is it?" asked Li Congwen a little nervously.

"It's just a grass snake, and when it saw me open the door, it scared away. ”

Li Congwen seemed to be a lot more relieved, and fell asleep holding the sword.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiaoyang was woken up by the rooster in the village.

He didn't make any progress in his cultivation all night, and he didn't bother to suck in the morning morning qi, so he patted his ass and stood up.

He glanced at Li Congwen and ignored him when he saw that he hadn't woken up yet.

Ju Yeqi also walked out with the box, it seemed that Xiao Di wanted to eat, and she probably didn't want to eat the dry cakes.

Yang Xiaoyang put the box on his back and went out with Ju Yeqi.

It was too dark last night, and Yang Xiaoyang didn't take a good look at this village, and felt that this village was too gloomy.

However, when the morning dawned, I found that this was not the case, and the scenery in the village was not bad, and I could see the willow branches swaying in the wind. The yellow dog and the chicken race on the path and get along well.

The man in the village was already carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the field at this time, when suddenly a middle-aged man ran over to greet the two of them: "Did you sleep well yesterday?"

Yang Xiaoyang took a look and found that it was the middle-aged man who brought them into the village yesterday, and returned the salute with a smile.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw Ju Yeqi wearing a Taoist robe, and hurriedly saluted, "It turns out that there is still a Taoist chief, it was too dark last night to see clearly, don't blame the Taoist chief." ”

Ju Yeqi smiled and shook his head.

"What are you two going to do?" the middle-aged man asked.

"We're going to go out into the woods to find something to eat. Yang Xiaoyang replied.

The middle-aged man suddenly scratched his head, "It turned out to be a rich and noble family, no wonder I saw that the carriage of several people was so magnificent." I'm sorry we don't have anything to entertain in our village. ”

At first, Yang Xiaoyang thought that the people in this village were not easy to get along with, but now he found out that they were all simple peasant families, and he couldn't help but feel good.

Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Yang Xiaoyang asked as he passed by the carriage, "Do you want to eat meat and be vegetarian?"

Ju Yeqi replied without hesitation: "Vegetarian." ”

"Where's Xiaodi?"

The box shook, Yang Xiaoyang sighed, and went to the carriage to get a bow and arrows and a bamboo basket.

Not long after the sun rose, the blades of grass and tree trunks in the forest were covered with dew and a thin mist.

From time to time, there is also the sound of birdsong in the forest, but it is easy for birdsong to stop abruptly.

"Why are there so many snakes in this forest?" Yang Xiaoyang saw a small snake on the top of his head biting a bird with one mouth, and remembered the one at the door last night, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The willows are shady, and the snakes prefer to stay here. Ju Yeqi's face was a little pale at this time, but she was already white, so she couldn't see it.

Yang Xiaoyang stood under the tree and sighed decently, "Alas, the early bird is eaten by snakes." ”

After speaking, I remembered the snake soup I had eaten in Duanfu, which was delicious and refreshing, and it seemed to be good to eat in the morning.

As soon as Yang Xiaoyang said this idea, the box shook.

Yang Xiaoyang opened the box, and Xiao Di flew out and shouted: "The snake soup is good! Little sheep, go catch a big snake!"

Yang Xiaoyang also wanted to catch the one on the top of his head back, but he didn't expect Xiao Di to want a big one, so he looked at the little snake that had just caught the bird, sighed, and counted it as big.

Xiao Tu paused, and then said, "Little lamb, I still want to eat sugar gourds." ”

Yang Xiaoyang's face twitched, and he coaxed with a wry smile: "Xiao Di, there are no sugar gourds sold around here, I owe it this time, will I buy you two strings next time?"

Ju Yeyan picked some wild vegetables and put them in the bamboo basket, and looked at Yang Xiaoyang and Xiaodi with some amusement.

The big snake is not easy to find, but there are indeed many snakes in this forest, and the two of them walked a stick of incense before they saw a snake that made Xiao Di reluctantly nod in agreement.

"This snake is a poisonous snake, remember to cut off the head and bury it. Ju Yeqi looked at the big snake that was shot into the brain, frowned and said.

Yang Xiaoyang stared at the snake in his hand for a while, and sighed a little.

Why do you say you're a poisonous snake growing so big? Isn't that dead?

Yang Xiaoyang sighed, took the snake in his hand and brought it back.

When I returned to the house, I found that Li Congwen had gotten up and was drinking with an old man at the table, chatting happily.

The old man glanced at the big snake held by Yang Xiaoyang, and said with a smile: "The old man is called clay, and he is the head of Liushu Village." A few distinguished guests, our village was not well entertained yesterday, please forgive me. ”

Yang Xiaoyang shook his head slightly, feeling that this situation was somewhat similar to the village where he met Jingyuan at the beginning, and after coming back to his senses, he quickly shook his head, "It's us who bothered you late at night." ”

Lao Suo waved his hand, pointed to a clay pot on the table, and said with a smile: "We have nothing to entertain you in Willow Village, only this wine is the most handy, you might as well try it." ”

Yang Xiaoyang was a little embarrassed, he and Ju Yeyan didn't like to drink, but it was difficult to refuse, so he nodded and said, "The village chief will sit down for a while, and the junior will go and cook the snake he just caught." ”

After Yang Xiaoyang finished speaking, he carried the box on his back, carried the snake and the freshly picked wild vegetables into the kitchen, and prepared to make the snake soup and first divide more than half of it to Xiao Di, and the remaining small section was enough for four people to eat.

"Can you make snake belly? I've heard it's delicious. Xiao Di watched Yang Xiaoyang cut the snake meat into thin strips after processing it, flew to Yang Xiaoyang's hand and asked in a whisper.

Yang Xiaoyang paused, "I won't do it." Is it eaten directly with green onion mustard like fish?"

Yang Xiaoyang sighed when he saw Xiao Di staring at him with a pitiful look.

He pinched a small strip of snake meat with his hand, adjusted the sauce and dipped it in it, his eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively in a low voice: "It seems to be good?" ”

Xiao Di tasted it, smashed it and smacked it, and nodded, "It's okay, you cut the meat for me and put it aside, I'll eat it myself." ”

Yang Xiaoyang was still a little worried that eating too much raw meat would cause problems, and later thought that Xiao Di would just have a mouth, how to eat how she liked, so he cut the snake meat for her and put it aside.

Watching Xiao Di bite a piece of meat, fly to the edge of the sauce and hang her head, and then suck it into her mouth, I felt that the snake was cute.

Oh, no, no, it's cute......

It's nice to be able to eat it yourself......
