Smoke curls up, crows chirp and insects chirp.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Su Yuxing stopped his pace, looked at the village where the smoke could be faintly seen not far from the hills and fields, and helplessly turned his head to look at the old man Li who had been following Su Yuxing and Mu Yanxu and said, such an undead look is a little curious.

Su Yuxing complained slightly about himself in his heart, afraid of trouble but couldn't restrain his curiosity, so that he wouldn't be in trouble until he saw it.

And Old Man Li thought that Su Yuxing would go straight into the village, and then follow the road all the way to Yanlong Mountain, but he didn't expect Su Yuxing to turn around and ask himself, it seemed that he had a change of heart.

"Mr. ......"

"Don't don't, I can't be Mr., my surname is Su, my name is Yuxing, and I haven't reached the weak crown, so I haven't given the word yet, you can call me Su Yuxing." As for my sister's name, you don't need to know. ”

Su Yuxing shook his head and waved his hand to interrupt Old Man Li, who was about to say something, and his eyes were as clear as water, and he quietly looked at Old Man Li and said.

"Su Yuxing's son," Old man Li did not call Su Yuxing's name directly, but added the word Gongzi after Su Yuxing's name, Old Man Li saw that Su Yuxing did not react, and the words continued, "Actually, I don't have anything to ask Gongzi, I hope Gongzi can teach my niece to read some words, so as not to be laughed at by people who don't know a single big character like me." ”

"That's it?"

Su Yuxing raised his eyebrows, and the old boatman's voice seemed to be deliberately accentuated in some places.

"This kind of thing can be solved by hiring a teacher from a private school. ”

Su Yuxing's clear eyes kept looking at Old Man Li, who was not tall, with gray hair, and wrinkles carved on his weather-beaten face. If Old Man Li hadn't personally admitted that his identity was not ordinary before, Su Yuxing would only treat Old Man Li as an ordinary old man.

Old man Li didn't answer directly when he heard Su Yuxing's words, but sighed lightly and shook his head, "Childe will come with me to see why it doesn't work." ”

Old man Li's pace gradually increased, passing Su Yuxing and Mu Yanxu, walking to the path in the hills and fields, and taking the lead in opening the fence at the gate of the village alone, walking towards Jia'an Village, and after a while, his figure disappeared from Su Yuxing and Mu Yanxu's sight.

"Senior Brother Yuxing, this acacia flower is so fragrant!"

Su Yuxing was frowning and pondering the meaning of what the old boatman Li said, and was slightly surprised in his heart, this old boatman was not afraid that they would not follow at all, but he was suddenly interrupted by Mu Yanxu, who looked a little excited on the side.

"It's very fragrant. ”

Su Yuxing shrugged his nose, the fragrance of this acacia flower came from the entrance of the village, after this not very long path, the fragrance would even make people feel tired and disgusting, but because of the mood of Mu Yan next to him, Su Yuxing did not show it.

"Let's go into the village, it seems that the old boatman has no hostility towards us, otherwise he has every chance to do it when we showed the flaw in his back just now. ”

Su Yuxing pondered for a moment, still didn't draw any conclusions, and didn't see any danger in the village, then bent down and picked up a locust petal on the ground, handed it to Mu Yanxu and said.

Mu Yanxu's mood seemed a little high, and the vermilion lacquer box was carried behind by Mu Yanxu, and he followed Su Yuxing who looked around vigilantly with broken steps.

Su Yuxing walked to the entrance of Jia'an Village, and looked up at the lone crow standing on the branch of the dead tree, but next to this dead tree, there was a huge locust tree with lush leaves. The fence at the entrance of the village was opened by the old boatman just now, so the two people on the boat didn't come to this Jia'an village? Or was the fence closed again after they entered the village?

Su Yuxing's mind gradually became heavier, and he faintly felt a trace of remorse, unknown and uncertain things always make people feel confused and afraid.

Suddenly, Su Yuxing felt that he was being watched, and his eyes suddenly looked over, only to see the houses in the village standing in an orderly manner on both sides of the gravel road, all quiet, but occasionally from the depths of the village, chickens and dogs could be heard, full of vitality, making people feel that there was nothing wrong with this village.

"Childe, it's getting late. ”

When Su Yuxing's gaze stayed on the open window of a room on the left, there was a sudden urgent urging voice from Old Man Li in front of him, which made Su Yuxing's contemplative gaze gradually retract, no longer looking at the houses on both sides, his steps quickened slightly, and walked towards the place where Old Man Li spoke.

Mu Yanxu followed behind Su Yuxing, his steps were light, looking left and right, and the vermilion lacquer troop behind him did not move at all.

And not long after Su Yuxing and Mu Yanxu left, the fence at the entrance of the village snapped shut, and the carved window of the house that Su Yuxing had been looking at suddenly lit up, and the oil lamp on the wooden table in the house could be vaguely seen.

The windows of ordinary villages do not have openwork, and the openwork windows are never pasted with paper.

"Old Chuanjia, it seems that you are also a villager in this Jia'an village, but your village is very quiet during the day, and you can't even see a single figure. ”

Su Yuxing was already able to keep up with Old Man Li's pace, and asked tentatively.

Su Yuxing is not a fool, he can naturally sense that something is wrong with this village, the houses on both sides of the gravel road are too neat and orderly, like tombstones.

And although there are occasional chickens and dogs in this village, there is no human voice.

And it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that there are peerless martial arts cheats in Jia'an Village, and the warriors who come to Jia'an Village one after another, these warriors are not people who divide themselves, where did those warriors go?

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the mountains, as if the mountains are covered with an orange veil. The river is also shining brightly, with ripples on the surface of the water, and when the breeze gently blows across the water, the reeds dance with the breeze. It was like a finely broken reed flower, fluttering in the slanting sun, Su Yuxing stood in front of Old Man Li, and his shadow was stretched by the slanting sun.

And the ferry that came quietly from the reeds disappeared at some point.

Old man Li, who had been silent for a long time, stood in front of the gate of a courtyard surrounded by a fence for a long time, listening to Su Yuxing's inquiry, and finally spoke, "Young Master Su Yuxing, these things are not within the scope of my request to you. ”

Su Yuxing shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head slightly, and did not continue to ask.

Old Man Li's place was slightly different from the individual houses that Su Yuxing looked at at the entrance of the village, with separate gates and yards surrounded by fences, and Su Yuxing and Mu Yanxu were also led by Old Man Li to a house.

Su Yuxing pushed open the door, the wooden door creaked, and then the dust came to his face, which made Su Yuxing's heart slightly unhappy, the room was empty, only a bed, a wooden table, a few benches, and nothing else. Although it is clean, there is a lot of dust, and it looks like it has not been inhabited for a long time.

"If Gongzi doesn't dislike this place, why don't you stay here tonight?" asked Old Man Li with a smile.

"Old boatman, is there a second option for this?"

Su Yuxing waved the dust on the wooden table, casually helped Mu Yanxu take off the sword box on his back and put it on the table, then walked to the bed, patted the dust on the bed and said with a casual smile.

"The futon you asked for was delivered. ”

A crisp voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and suddenly there was a young girl, and the girl's face and complexion were even more feminine and white than the ladies of those noble families that Su Yuxing saw in Yingchuan County.

It is no exaggeration to describe this girl with skin like clotted fat.

If he encounters such a girl in a high-ranking family or mansion, although Su Yuxing will be amazed by the girl's beauty and complexion, he will not feel that something is wrong. But this is a village at the foot of a deep mountain, and I am afraid that there are almost no women in Changqi City near here who are slightly inferior to the girl's face.

But in this poor mountain village, there could be such a beautiful girl.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Su Yuxing raised his eyes and stared at the girl, not finding anything abnormal, and at the same time subconsciously touched the vermilion lacquer box on the table, the vermilion lacquer box did not react, and only a trace of refreshing cool breath came from the soldier.

The girl also noticed Su Yuxing's fiery gaze, lowered her head and blushed, holding the futon high with both hands and not daring to look at Su Yuxing.

"Ahem, Childe knows why I didn't dare to hire Mr. Private School, right? Who knows what those sanctimonious people will do to my beautiful niece. ”

Old man Li coughed lightly, Su Yuxing realized that his undisguised gaze just now was really a little rude for a young girl, and when he was about to say some sorry words, Old Man Li had already spoken.

It's just that the reason that Old Man Li said is too far-fetched, so far-fetched that not only Su Yuxing thinks it, but even Old Man Li himself may think it is too nonsense. And from the first sentence of the girl's incoming, saying that Old Man Li did not use the title of uncle, but used the title of you, which is not the younger generation to the elders, which shows that Old Man Li asked Su Yuxing at the beginning, but it was actually nonsense.

So the question is, why did Old Man Li do this, and what are the benefits of doing so for Old Man Li?

"Li'er, why don't you lay out the futon with Yuxing Gongzi!"

"No need. ”

Just when Su Yuxing was thinking in his heart, the voice of the old man Li sounded in his ears again, Su Yuxing glanced at Mu Yanxu sideways, Mu Yanxu felt something, there seemed to be a breeze on his toes, and before the girl stepped into the house with the futon, Mu Yanxu had already taken the futon from the girl's raised hands and returned to the house.

"I'm a little tired today, why don't you go back first, if there is something, let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Su Yuxing arched his hand slightly, and said with a smile on his face to Old Man Li and the girl named Li'er.
