Yu Xiu dragged the thin horse forward for hundreds of steps, but the market town did not appear in his eyes, and he patted his head, realizing that he had misestimated the distance.

Although he already has the ability to never forget, and many memories in his mind have become clear, the things related to Jiaozhou were written down before he practiced. Unless he can enter the realm of the middle three grades, he will have a clear mind and turn out the things before his cultivation and even when he was born, and never forget the details.

Yu Xiu glanced at the ground, he had already walked out of the mountains and forests, there were few ravines on the ground, and he could directly gallop on horseback. He patted the horse's head, immediately turned over, hugged the white-haired female corpse in front of him, and the two rode together.

The female corpse was hugged by Yu Xiu, woke up from her stunned state, turned her head to look at Yu Xiu, but could only see the side face, so she just leaned silently on Yu Xiu's chest without too much movement.

I don't know if this female corpse is because of the influence of zombie habits, although she is not afraid of the sun, but she is not very active during the day, and only at night will she appear more lively.

When he first came into contact with the female corpse, Yu Xiu would be disturbed by it every night and couldn't practice or sleep, and after teaching, the other party seemed to have some popularity, and he wouldn't harass Yu Xiu too much at night.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiu has been delayed in the mountains and forests for a long time.

"Ride!" Riding on the thin horse, Yu Xiu hugged the female corpse, shook the reins, and ordered the horse to move forward. The thin horse carried the two of them, and did not feel heavy, and immediately galloped up on the road, stepping on a clattering sound.

Not long after, a blue-black building appeared in Yu Xiu's eyes, the building leaned against the mountain, adjacent to the avenue, wide and fat, like a toad lying in the mountain forest.

Yu Xiu ran towards it, and when he got closer, the appearance of the building became clear, it was a building like a walled house, with blue bricks and black tiles, a suspension bridge at the door, and a solid wall, like a small city.

This is a snake catching village, famous for catching snakes, Yu Xiu followed the Wumei Taoist priest into southern Xinjiang, and had supplemented dry food in it.

Although this place has been out of Jiaozhou and is located in Jiangzhou, it is located on the border, far away from the plain, and there are still many mountains and forests around. The village is a place where nearby villages and mountain people gather and communicate with each other, and its popularity is not low.

But now that he saw the stockade again, Yu Xiu strangled the thin horse and frowned slightly.

The door of the snake catcher village was wide open, and from a distance, there were pedestrians and merchants walking on the road to the village, which was no different from the scene in his memory.

But none of these pedestrians and merchants turned their backs on the stockade, and their footsteps were hurried, as if they were trotting. When he got closer, Yu Xiu's eyes fell on some things on both sides of the road.

Pieces of yellow paper flew on the mounds, some were completely newly cut out, and some were stepped into the mud and mixed with the loess.

At a glance, paper money is everywhere, like fallen leaves

The merchant or the mountain man walked towards him, all in a hurry, and after looking up at Yu Xiu, he immediately lowered his head, for fear of attracting attention.

Yu Xiu looked at the snake catcher village, and expected in his heart: "The village has been robbed?" he simply thought about it, and let the thin horse walk in small steps, and slowly walked towards the snake catcher village.

Although there may be something wrong in the village, there may be bad luck, but Yu Xiu will not care about this. Moreover, in addition to this village, there are few people in the vicinity for dozens of miles, if you don't spend the night here, most of them can only sleep in the wild.

"Thinking about it this way, this village should not just be bandits. Otherwise, it was not early, and those mountain people would not have to go out of the village at this time. ”

Riding on a horse, Yu Xiu looked at the pedestrians who kept passing by, and speculated in his heart. If something big really happens, then he still shouldn't go and join in the fun.

But he suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at the white-haired Dao-robed man sitting in his arms, and his heart was slightly settled.

The female corpse is very fierce, and she can resist the Taoist priest or samurai of the middle and third grades, and if something big really happens, she can also let her take action.

Thinking about it, Yu Xiu had already ridden to the gate of the snake catcher village, and the horse's hooves stepped on the suspension bridge, making a squeaky sound. The mountain people who were coming out of the stockade looked at him with surprise on their faces.

However, when the mountain people saw Yu Xiu carrying a knife and a white-haired woman in a Taoist robe sitting in his arms, both of them had very different temperaments from ordinary people, and they didn't dare to show too much, but just walked by with their heads down.

As soon as you enter the village, bluestone slabs, mules and horses, wine flags, and street vendors ...... One by one, they appeared in Yu Xiu's eyes, with the smell of fireworks, which was completely different from the quiet scene in the deep mountains and old forests.

But the strange thing is that the people in the village were silent, and Yu Xiu walked on the street without hearing a few shouts. The people who bought and sold were all whispering, and once they had discussed it, they immediately walked in with their things without delay.

Although the snake catcher village is a market town, it is located in a remote area, the number of people is small, and the number of households is only equivalent to a village in a dense place.

There are only two or three inns in the village that can be borrowed, and Yu Xiu did not wander around, but led the horse directly to the one where he had stayed last time.

Walking to the front of the hotel, Yu Xiu found that the door panel of the hotel had been erected, only half of the doors were still open, and only one person passed, not like opening the door to welcome guests, but at this time it was only close to twilight, and it was not dark.

He knocked on the door and opened his mouth to shout, "Shop, shop!"

After a long time, footsteps sounded in the black hole of the inn, and an old man walked out of it, looking at Yu Xiu at the door with a shocked expression.

Yu Xiu arched his hand, "Uncle, there is still a vacant room, so I am tired of packing up one and coming out." ”

When the old man heard Yu Xiu's words, he wiped his eyes, as if he had heard it wrong, and asked, "You, you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Exactly. Yu Xiu nodded, he saw the change in the shopkeeper's expression, squinted his eyes, and asked directly: "Ask together, does the old man know what happened in the village?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately became distracted.

At this time, footsteps sounded around the hotel, and people were watching. Yu Xiu looked over and found that they were all old men and old women, and their eyes were also suspicious.

The old man in the door frame saw someone looking around, his expression changed, and he opened his mouth to yell at Yu Xiu: "Go, go, there is no vacant room." It's all in the stockade!"

He immediately retracted into the door, took out a plank from the inside, prepared to insert it into the groove, and closed the door.

Yu Xiu heard his scolding, raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his foot and stepped on the threshold, blocking the old man. He looked at the other party and said with a smile: "What do you mean, uncle?"

Seeing that the old man scolded Yu Xiu and wanted to drive Yu Xiu away, there were voices around the hotel, "Old man Qian, there are guests coming, why do you want to rush it." "This little brother stays, you take it." ”......

It was the people in the village who came from all around talking.

When the shopkeeper who was called the old man Qian heard this, he hesitated all of a sudden, and he showed a hesitant look on his face, looking at Yu Xiu, not daring to look up.

The chatter around was louder, and the neighbors next to the inn all came to see it, and they couldn't stop talking, all of them were kind words.

"It's not too early, it's good for the little brother to live in the village. ”

But Yu Xiu squinted and looked over, and saw that although the people around him were all saying good things, they all looked dark, their eyes were hidden, and they didn't dare to look at him.

What's even more strange is that there are few green shapes in the village, and there are old men and old women scattered around.

The whole snake catching village seems to have become an old man's village.

Yu Xiu glanced at the white-haired female corpse on horseback, and found that the female corpse was sitting still, and there was no abnormal color.

He looked at the old man in the inn, the smile on his face was even bigger, and asked, "Shopkeeper, are there monsters in the village?"

Hearing Yu Xiu's words, the old man's face changed greatly, his hands trembled, and the doorknob fell directly to the ground.

The "well-wishers" who were retaining the rest of the rest around were also dumbfounded, strangely silent, and the sound of footsteps sounded, and they retracted into the house one by one......
