Dongjue Village III

For ten days in a row, the valley was quiet, as if it were a world away.

Yan Mubai's injuries gradually improved, and he began to help Ah Weng do some simple labor. Su Luhuan stumbled upon the old man from the east is a fellow doctor, she was already interested in the art of Qihuang, far better than martial arts, and the old man collected medicine in the mountains during the day, rescued the villagers, exchanged experiences, and followed the grandmother at night to learn some paper-cutting needlework interspersed, and the life was also comfortable.

Today, the miasma in the forest is very heavy, and it is not advisable to go out. At this moment, Su Luhuan was learning to cut paper over and over again in front of the table, and Grandma was pointing at the side, muttering: "To be said and poor, there is no need to doubt it." The ancient sages, entering and retreating. Our Dongjue Village has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, and we don't ask about the world, probably everyone wants to be a sage, haha. Grandma twisted her body, it seemed that she had been sitting for a long time, and her waist was not very comfortable.

"No one has ever gone out in that valley?" Su Luphant's hand paused for a moment, raised his head and asked curiously.

"Naturally go out, this valley is remote, lack of food, if you encounter a natural disaster, no harvest, hundreds of families in the valley want to survive, but they are not allowed to go out to procure, but most of them are young and strong to go out, and the small things that are done are turned into silver taels, and then buy back what we need. Bartering, life is very comfortable. ”

"That?" Su Luphant's eyes glanced at it, in the middle of the small courtyard outside the house, Yan Mubai was helping to tie the fence of the vegetable field tighter, obviously used to it, very skilled.

"Then Grandma and Grandpa have no children?"

Grandma's eyes lit up and dimmed for a moment, "I had a son, but he died of illness many years ago!"

Su Luhuan regretted a little, covered Grandma's dry hands and shook it, Grandma was also refreshing, but she was sad for a moment, and she didn't immerse herself too much.

"Grandma, Grandpa, have you ever gone out to the rivers and lakes?"

"Ha, I've lived here with the old man all my life, and I've only gone out a few times, and I've learned some kung fu, not much, where can I go out and explore the rivers and lakes. Grandma put down the folded red paper in her hand, tilted her head, as if she was meditating, and said after a while: "Yes, more than 30 years ago, there was a chivalrous guest in Dongjue Village, who was also injured, broke in by mistake, and lived for a long time. Since then, there has been an unwritten rule in Dongjue Village, that one or two people in every strong and healthy household must work during the day and practice martial arts at night to resist foreign insults. ”

Su Lu's eyes blinked, and he said in his heart: "No wonder the people in the village saw me like a monster at first, thinking they were afraid of the sword in my hand." "But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be.

"Senior brother, do you think I cut the window grille prints beautifully?" As soon as Yan Mubai entered the house, Su Luhuan couldn't wait to jump in front of him like a magpie coming out of the cage. Su Luhuan's hands were spread out, and in the middle of the jade bone glass-like palm lay a fluttering red ***, fluttering lightly.

Yan Mubai picked it up with both hands, looked at it carefully, then craned his neck to learn from Ji Chu's appearance, and replied in a thick voice: "This butterfly of the little junior sister has a beautiful posture and a light body, dancing and dancing, look, it will fly high in the next moment." ”

Su Luhuan pursed the corners of his mouth, a magnolia flower like a white and flawless little face, it was really charming.

Yan Mubai saw that she was amused, and suddenly her heart warmed, and she said softly: "Let's stick it on the window paper." ”

Su Luhuan nodded slightly, and the two went to the courtyard to find some paste, and took a brush to carefully glue the cut butterflies on little by little. At this moment, the afterglow of the slanting sun is sprinkled, and the faces of the two are reflected through the thin window paper, both of which are ruddy and shy.

"Oh no, no, Grandma and Grandpa, there are people in the village who are unconscious again!" A clever little ghost about ten years old, panting at the moment, holding a pancake in his hand, panting for breath as he ran.

"You say slowly, what's going on?" Su Luhuan and Grandma walked out of the voice, and saw that Yan Mubai was trying to twist the body of the little ghost, and asked anxiously.

Although the little ghost man was small but very alert, he rolled his eyes to look at Yan Mubai, and shouted at the grandfather on the roof and the grandmother in the courtyard respectively: "Mother said, it is we who always provoke outsiders, which caused today's trouble, they are not from our Dongjue Village, so I won't tell them." ”

Yan Mubai looked at other people's little ghosts, but he was well organized, and he couldn't help but see the shadow of his childhood, and he liked it very much, he got down from the boy's shoulders with both hands and said, "Na, the master is there, hurry up." ”

The little boy ran to his grandmother and said with a crying voice: "It's terrible, I'm in a coma again, this is the fourth one, my father and mother look at it, I'm afraid it won't work." My mother asked me to tell you all to go and see it. ”

As soon as Ah Weng heard this, he flew and fell steadily from the roof to the ground, and while walking out on the child's shoulder, he turned his head to Grandma and said, "Old woman, bring my medicine box, I'll go first, you follow!"

"Ah, okay, you slow down. ”

Grandma turned around and went back to the house, muttering, "Medicine box, medicine box, where is the medicine box?"

"Grandma, give. Su Luhuan hurriedly handed the medicine box to Grandma, and Grandma's face softened, "Look at my memory, Phantom girl, you just stay here, don't go anywhere, I'll go with the old man to have a look." ”

Su Luhuan was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why Grandma said this, but nodded obediently.

After Grandma Aweng left one after another, Yan Mubai came to Su Luhuan's side, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't take that child's words to heart." Su Luhuan nodded, but there was still an ominous premonition in his heart.

It was already dark on this day! Sen Senran hung like a breathless flannel overhead, suffocating, and in this ink-splashed canopy, the trees in the distance did not move, like a monster posing for an attack, and people were full of boundless fear when they moved. Suddenly, there was a fire around the small courtyard, and the villagers of all sizes surrounded the small courtyard of Ah Po Ah Weng at this moment, revealing a faint firelight, and Su Luhuan saw that the person who was the leader was the one he had seen at the entrance of the village ten days ago, but his appearance was a little different today.

"What's the difference?" Su Luphanta was faintly confused. On that day, he was dressed in gray linen, carrying a hoe and sickle in his hand, and smiling lightly. Today, he held a sharp sword in his right hand, and his eyebrows were angry, and he was a little terrifying.

"What's wrong?" Yan Mubai looked at her frowning, as if she was full of concern.

"Nothing, I've seen this man before. ”

Xu was because Grandma and Grandpa did not come back, and the people in the outer courtyard of the fence did not forcibly enter, but just walked back and forth, whispering something. Yan Mubai found a place closest to the door and sat down, the fire broke on the side, spread out on the square table.

"What happened to such an act, if you can't be good today, you can only attack, and your internal strength has recovered seventy or eighty percent, and it should be fine. Although these villagers know how to use fists and kicks, but as Grandma said, they are only used for self-defense, and they must not be successful. ”

"What are you doing here?"

"It's Grandma Aweng who is back!" Su Luhuan swept away his depression and wanted to go out with a smile.

"Phantom" Yan Mubai grabbed her right arm and shook her head lightly.

"Dongzhen, the two of them are our guests, and Hugh is messing around. "Grandma is very strong, but the person who is called Dongzhen has not retreated. I saw him bend his elbows slightly, hold the hilt of the sword, lean over and bow, then get up, and replied in a cold voice: "Since they broke into Dongjue Village, people have disappeared one after another for no reason, and then they found it, but they were unconscious." Now that it's the fourth, we have to hold on to the two in front of us and interrogate them carefully. ”

Yan Mubai held Su Luhuan's hand with a slight force, he turned his head to look, and found that Su Luhuan's expression was a little dazed at the moment, recently it was either to collect medicine in the forest for himself, or to serve tea and water, and he encountered this incident again tonight, so he must be a little tired. He grabbed her by the shoulders and gently lowered her to the stool in front of the square table.

"As I already said, that girl was poisoned, and the previous people were also poisoned, and when I think about it, I will detoxify them. It's both poisoning, and what does it have to do with our guests. Ah Weng was a little angry, and the beard at the corner of his mouth twitched back and forth.

"Then what kind of poison is among them? As soon as Dongzhen said this, everyone nodded yes, and it could be seen that this Dongzhen had a high prestige among the villagers.

"This" Ah Weng seemed to have something unspeakable, and hesitated between the words.

"It's said that it is poisoned, but it can be solved, but it can't be said to be famous. How can I be convinced, is it possible that you have not been able to cure this poison, and all of us in Dongjue Village have to take this risk in vain and let the murderer get away with it?" In the crowd, behind Dongzhen, a big man with a dark face and a somewhat rough appearance said with a fist in his fists. As soon as the two sang and harmonized, the audience in the village gradually increased, and most of them nodded yes after thinking slightly.

"Then you said it has something to do with us, what evidence do you have?" At this moment, Yan Mubai had already walked out of the grass hall and stood in the courtyard, there was no moon tonight, the black sky was low pressure, dozens of torches, as bright as the sun and stars, reflecting each other in his dark eyes, the bright light was shining, and he was very confident.

"The old man from Donglai said that he was poisoned, there is no one who is good at poison in our village, and the phantom girl in the house is very precious to the herbs in the forest, and you two should not give us an explanation for this alone. "Dongzhen is pressing step by step.

"Then according to your meaning, all the doctors in the world who treat diseases and save people are the culprits who poison people. Yan Mubai's pupils lit up, and she thought about it, but she didn't expect it to end up like this, and she couldn't help but be angry from her heart, and her eyes widened, wanting to see clearly what kind of person could say such a kind of revenge.

"Dongzhen, didn't the patriarch say it before, let's discuss it with others, just investigate it carefully, don't bully others, besides, this phantom girl also gave medicine to cure my mother-in-law's thirst before. Now that the outcome is unknown, we are not going to wait. A thin man in his early forties wearing a scarf in the crowd said weakly.

As soon as these words came out, the last spicy woman in the crowd also said generously: "Yes, I came to the east to look for someone at my uncle's house before, the old man was not there, and the phantom girl also taught me the art of acupressure points, now even if it is raining and cloudy, my shoulder pain has been reduced a lot, we may have wronged others, we don't know, you might as well wait, maybe in a few days the poisoned person will show his own feet!"

"That's right, I also drank the red date ginger tea that people helped me brew, and the sour and damp gas in my stomach has gone a lot!"

Everyone, you and I said a word, and the tense meridians just relaxed for a while, but unexpectedly, a few words from Dongzhen pulled the atmosphere into tension.

"Phantom girl rejuvenates her skillfully, naturally she is the benefactor of Dongjue Village, but they are in the martial arts, and they will only enter Dongjue Valley by mistake when they are chased. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, Uncle Donglai was a native of the village for seventy years, how could he harm his own people, and it was also a matter of nearly ten days for these four people to be in a coma one after another, and the spearhead was naturally directed at Su Luxuan.

"In that case, let the sword see the difference. Yan Mubai pulled out the fire breaker, held his hand on his side, and said no more.

Seeing this, everyone retreated, only Dongzhen's eyes seemed to have a chuckle overflowing, stretched out the sword, flew and stabbed over, Yan Mubai wrapped his toes, together, holding the sword and blocking, the man's sword move fell in an instant, Yan Mubai landed unsteadily, only to see the opponent's wrist turn back and forth, holding the sword to Yan Mubai's outer thighs, chest, and waist indirectly stabbed. The opponent sent out three swords, so fast, one was to disturb his thoughts, so that he could not figure out his martial arts path, and the other was to be virtual and real, pretending to cover up the real attack direction with fast and miscellaneous moves, Yan Mubai retreated and dodged in a row, seeing that the opponent wanted to attack his waist. So, after flying back a few steps, the left foot stepped hard, fixed the body, held the fire breaking sword in his right hand, blocked his waist, and resisted the opponent's long sword, the two of them walked backwards a few meters away, the strength was almost exhausted, Yan Mubai's body shook, and then the long sword was pulled up, and he volleyed out sideways, found the relay, kicked the house beam back, and kicked the opponent's chest with his right foot, and the opponent was not slow to react, and then waved a palm, and hit Yan Mubai's kick. There was another thud, and both of them were bounced away. The opponent took a few steps back, frowned slightly, hid his left hand behind him, Yan Mubai swished, and one of them took off and landed firmly on the ground.

Dongzhen held the sword in his right hand and wanted to attack again, but suddenly there was a bang in the room, Su Luxuan, who was holding the Baihong Sword in his hand and resting with his cheek in his left hand, fell heavily to the ground.

"Phantom" Yan Mubai's heart tightened instantly, and he turned around and ran towards the wooden house.
