As soon as the moon in the water looked, if she really ran for a while, she might not be able to find a place to rest. Still Mo Xing is more experienced than her, but she is still not convinced:

"If you miss it, you will miss it, you are not afraid, and I am not afraid. Listen to you, team leader, let's rest there. ”

As the two were talking, the wooden door of the house creaked open, and a person walked out.

The two looked at each other, and it was an old woman who opened the door. Leaning against the door, leaning on a cane, sticking out a head full of silver threads, and opening a pair of cloudy eyes.

Looking left and right, I saw a girl on the horse in front of the door, and was about to speak, when I saw a man riding in front of me, and the rider was a young man, and quickly "squeaked" the door shut.

I only heard a whisper of talking from inside, and occasionally a cry of "huh".

Since they were on the horse, the distance was more than ten zhang, and the two didn't know how many people in the house were talking about something.

Both of them wondered why the old woman wanted to talk at first, but as soon as she saw a man appearing, she closed the door and didn't say hello.

Whether they have never seen strangers, or are they afraid that the two are robbers, and they are afraid of attracting villains. Listening to the sound of other people crying in this room, he did not even see the people in front of him, so he would not be frightened like this.

Shui Yue was the first to jump off the horse and tied the white horse to a date tree outside the door in the direction it came.

Seeing this, Mo Xing also jumped off the horse and tied the black horse to the jujube tree. The two horses are like old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they see you, you smell on me, and I sniff on you, and they are very affectionate.

The two of them carried horsewhips and approached the door that the old woman had closed just now. At this time, the speech inside is more real.

I only heard an old voice whisper eagerly:

"Aunt Hui, have you cleaned up, hide it, don't make a sound, don't speak. ”

"Hmmm,......"

A thinner, fainter, and hoarse voice replied with only one "um" and no more.

I didn't hear the voice of the third party.

As soon as the two of them heard it, the old voice should be the voice of the old woman who opened the door just now, and the other voice was roughly the voice of a girl like her daughter or niece. I heard her say that she missed a word "hidden", which may have been approached by others.

Mo Xingxing gave Shui Zhongyue a knock on the door. The moon whip in the water handed over his left hand, pinched his five fingers, flexed his index finger tightly, and knocked lightly on the door twice.

At this time, there was no sound in the house, except for the gentle "rustle" sound of the two horses squeezing and rubbing, and the whole environment was surprisingly quiet.

The moon in the water saw that there were two people talking just now, but now there was no sound, and it felt even more wrong, and increased the intensity of "dong dong dong" three times in a row.

Still no one answered. This time, Shui Zhongyue was not polite, she added strength to her hand again, knocked on the door continuously, and shouted inside:

"Open the door, old woman. We're here to borrow for one night, we're not bad guys, so don't worry, open the door for us. ”

shouted two or three times, and the people inside estimated that they couldn't hide it anymore, and they didn't expect these two people to be so persistent, and heard a trembling voice answering:

"Who is it? Don't be angry, the old body is here. ”

The door opened a crack, and the old woman who had just opened the door poked out a head through the crack in the door, and her gray hair was scattered on the top of her head like grass, some fell on her forehead, and some fell across her neck.

She clutched the door with one hand and a cane in the other, not letting the two of them in. Seeing that the two people standing in front of her were the two on horseback just now, she asked in a low voice:

"Two adults, who are you looking for? The hut is home alone, I wonder if the two adults knocked on the wrong door?"

"That's right. We are passing guests, it is late, and then go for fear of missing the accommodation, especially to disturb the mother-in-law, find a place to stay, and hope that the elderly and a convenient. ”

Water Moon said.

"I can't do it, I can't do it. You'd better find another place. The old body is not in good health these days, and there is no good place for the two distinguished guests to live. ”

The old woman said that she wanted to close the door.

"Don't panic, old woman. We're not bad people, we're just here for one night. We will pay you the local price for the stay. You can do it and make it easy for us to spend the night. It is really inconvenient for people to go out, and I hope that my mother-in-law will forgive me. ”

Shui Zhongyue stretched out her left hand and put the head of the horsewhip into the crack of the door, and the old woman couldn't close it even if she wanted to. When she saw a horsewhip in the crack in the door, she opened the door again with some anger, stuck her head out again, and said:

"The two of you bullied my old man, I made it clear to the two adults, I am not in good health, and I am in trouble, and my old body is in a bad mood, so you can find another place, why force me, this old woman, to force you to obey your orders?"

"Old man. What's wrong with you? Tell us about it, and maybe we can help you.

Look, if we were bad guys, would we still be here to reason with you? I'm afraid we would have slammed the door and come in. You let us in first, and tell us anything slowly, and we might be able to help you. ”

The old woman opened the door a bigger crack, looked the two of them up and down, left and right, and finally shook her head slowly:

"I think you'd better go. It's better to do it as soon as possible, or you'll suffer with us later. They are numerous and powerful, with swords and spears, and you are no match for them. ”

When the two of them heard it, they heard a rough idea. The old lady had been robbed by a strong man, or had come to grab her livestock.

Mo Xingxing looked around the house, and didn't see anything valuable in her house, could someone want to rob her old man's house.

At this time, the careful Shui Zhongyue remembered that she had heard a sobbing sound just now, could it be that the strongman was targeting her family. She whispered to Mo Xingxing:

"This gang of strongmen may have targeted her family. ”

Mo Xingxing also thought of this, he raised his voice and said to the old lady:

"Old man, there's a strong man who wants to hurt you, right? If that's the case, then it's easy.

"You're underestimating the two of us. We're here to clean up these strongmen.

Don't look at the number of strong people, they are all rabble, and the two of us are people who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, even ten or eight, and they can't get close to us, and they don't have twenty, right? You let us come in and discuss countermeasures together. ”

The old lady opened the door in disbelief and let the two of them in.

Originally, when they came, it was not yet dark, but now they were entangled with the old lady, and the twilight gradually fell, and the fog wrapped the whole hut tightly, and it was difficult to distinguish the appearance of people ten meters in front of them.

The old woman was on crutches, trembling with her hands, and lit an oil lamp, and the hut was bright, and the two found a place to sit.

The two sat down and took a closer look at the room:

This is a house with an earthen wall, one into two, about ten meters in length, about six meters high, the whole house is divided into two with wooden planks in the middle, and the inside is pitch black and cannot be seen clearly.

The outer space is larger, and the upper part of the inner room is supported by wood, making an attic, and the door is facing the entrance of the upper floor.

When the old lady entered the room, she took out a tea can, poured out a cup of yellow and clear strong tea, and handed it to the two of them.

While the two were taking the tea, they took a closer look at the old lady. She's not as old as she felt at first.

It was dusk, and the human eyes were at the turn of day and night, and it was very easy to get tired, and the old man's hair was not taken care of, and it was very messy, so he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old.

Looking closely under the lights now, the old lady's actual age may only be sixty years old.

Maybe she has a leg injury, she can't walk very well, and she has a cane, so she looks even older.

Before the two of them could open their mouths to drink tea, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the direction of the tethered horses.

The rapid sound of horses' hooves in the silent mountains is like the beat of a drum in the night sky, vibrating through the mountains, which is particularly clear and harsh.

As soon as the old man turned around and walked a few steps, he also heard the loud sound of horses' hooves, his hands trembled, and the tea can in his hand "snapped", fell to the ground, shattered into several pieces, and the yellow tea splashed on the ground.

The old woman "got it" the sound of horses' hooves, the teapot in her hand fell to the ground, broken into several pieces, turned around and looked at the direction of the door in horror, standing in place in a daze, forgetting to say something to Mo Xingxing.

Seeing this, Mo was happy to say to the old woman:

"Old man, you stand here for the time being, if there is any problem, there are two of us, and they don't dare to do anything. ”

The old woman was shocked, breathed a sigh of relief, and said eagerly:

"They, they're going to rob people, but it's hard for my aunt, hey, my aunt, woo......"

When the old woman said this, she couldn't stop crying and began to cry.

As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves had reached the door. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, it is estimated that three horsemen have arrived.

I heard a shrill voice say:

"Boss, you see, there's a situation, there are two horses here. We have to be careful. ”

"It's still a horse skin with sharp eyes, Ma Sanye, there are really two rides. Let's see who the owners of these two horses are? No, we'll get rid of the owners of the horses. ”

At this time, another voice spoke.

"Damn, when did my Third Master Ma be afraid of anyone? You don't inquire, in this one-acre and three-point land in Wagyu Town, Lao Tzu is the king of heaven.

Take the chick away in a moment. As for the owner of the horse, it depends on whether he is a man or a woman. It's a man, cut off my head, and brought it back to be a night pot.

If it's a woman, you all know that I, Ma Sanye, will take it back to me. Let's go, go into the house, and get the chick out for me. ”

"Yes, Third Master!" two voices outside the door answered at the same time. As soon as the words fell, only a few sounds of saddle stirrups outside the door were heard, and there was a sound of leather boots jumping off the ground, and it was obvious that the three of them jumped off the horse.

A shrill voice shouted:

"Mom, open the door and send the chick out!"

"Old immortal, whose horse is tied to your door? Tell them to come out together to see our third master, otherwise we will find him out, and his life will be difficult." ”

Another voice followed.

The three of them were silent in the room to see what they would do.

"There are lights on, there are people in the house, let's search!"

One shouted.

"There are people, but no one answers, let's be careful and see if the situation changes. ”

A shrill sound alert.

Mo Xing didn't see anyone breaking in, and heard someone reminding each other, feeling that he had no bottom in his heart to deal with the three of them, and he couldn't help but sweat in his heart.

"What are you waiting for? I'll go around again to see if there are any windfalls, you hurry up. ”

"Yes!"

A voice was arranged outside the house, and only the sound of a "click" and rhythmic leather boots was heard, and the man walked away.

"Open the door!"

At the same time, a "bang" was heard. The door was smashed open with a hard object and an elbow.
