When Huang Yuchen saw the appearance of the two, he couldn't help but sigh, and his guard was slightly lowered, and he replied with a smile: "It's not in the way, I don't know who this little brother is?"

"You say this kid. Zhao Bin looked back at the young man, went up and grabbed the young man's sleeve, pulled him to Huang Yuchen, and said, "This kid's name is Li Zhong, and I picked it up from the mountains." ”

The young man was pulled a few steps by Zhao Bin, and when he heard Zhao Bin say this, he pulled open his sleeves with all his might, looked dissatisfied, and said: "Who knows if you picked it up, maybe you stole it from me in that family, and put it in this place where the bird doesn't, and give you a pension to die." ”

"Fuck you. When Zhao Bin heard this, he hit Li Zhong's head again, and Li Zhong, who only hit him, grinned and wanted to fight back, but when he saw Zhao Bin's angry face, he muttered a sentence and gave up stupidly. When Zhao Bin saw Li Zhong's appearance, he hated it a little, but in front of Huang Yuchen, he was helpless, turned around and saluted Huang Yuchen, and said: "The child is used to being wild, there are no rules, little brother, don't care." ”

Huang Yuchen waved his hand, chuckled slightly, and did not speak, he did not find anything threatening in the cottage, but he still had doubts in his heart, since it was self-contained, like a village, why did it do so hidden on the surface, and made such a majestic gate, I don't know what the purpose is.

"Brother Ma, I'm not lying, there's nothing unusual about the village, and it won't hurt my brother. Zhao Bin saw that Huang Yuchen did not answer, looked left and right, and said with a smile.

"It seems that this is reckless. Huang Yuchen was polite, but he didn't return the salute, nor did he put down the big knife in his hand, and he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Seeing this, Zhao Bin smiled bitterly, made a gesture of invitation to Emperor Yuchen, pointed to the slightly larger wooden house in the middle, and said, "In this case, please let the little brother in for a while." ”

"That's very good. After Huang Yuchen finished speaking, he carried a big knife, and did not wait for Zhao Bin to lead the way, and walked towards the middle room by himself, thinking: Since you have come in, you are not afraid of an ambush. The big knife is on the shoulder, the fighting spirit is calm, and he is at his peak at the moment, if someone sneaks up, he is not afraid. Huang Yuchen strode forward, and came to the door of the house in a few steps, Zhao Bin and Li Zhong followed closely behind, and when they arrived at the door, Zhao Bin hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door of the house, and motioned for Huang Yuchen to enter.

Huang Yuchen looked left and right, there were several people working near the big house, one of them Huang Yuchen recognized that it was one of the people who went out of the village with Zhao Bin just now, and he was busy in his hands at the moment, but he glanced at Huang Yuchen from time to time out of the corner of his eyes, looking timidly. Seeing that Huang Yuchen was looking at himself, he hurriedly lowered his head, and the movements in his hands became faster and faster.

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, felt inappropriate, and asked, "Brother Zhao, you are a soldier and a farmer?"

Zhao Bin followed Huang Yuchen's eyes, saw the person, and listened to Huang Yuchen's question, asked and said with a wry smile: "Brother Ma doesn't know, my cottage people are scarce, don't talk about them, even if I need to go out hunting to make a living every day, go out together when I have something, just a few of them." ”

"Oh, that's right. Huang Yuchen replied casually, and the hand holding the handle of the knife tightened again, and he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he did not attack, and stepped forward and entered the wooden house.

The room is not big, a few ordinary tables and chairs are placed in the middle, it seems that there are not many people here, and the original living room is used as a dining room. There was still leftover food on the table in the middle, and Huang Yuchen stood in the middle, watching left and right. Zhao Bin then came in, saw that there was still leftover food on the table, sighed, and stepped forward to clean it up. Seeing this, Li Zhong also went up to help. There are not many things, the two of them cleaned up in a few clicks, Li Zhong took the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the house, Zhao Bin said to Huang Yuchen at this time, slightly apologetic, and said: "Let the little brother see the smile, I don't have any rules, I'm usually used to being idle, little brother don't stand, hurry up and sit down." As he spoke, he let Huang Yuchen sit down in front of a chair, sat down opposite Huang Yuchen, and looked at Huang Yuchen with a wry smile.

Huang Yuchen put the knife on his shoulder aside, but he didn't take his hand away, looking left and right, the front hall was not big, there were no imaginary seats for the host and guest, a few chairs were placed idly, around the table in the middle, Huang Yuchen felt like he was coming to eat.

The atmosphere was quiet, Huang Yuchen looked at himself, Zhao Bin was sitting on the side, rubbing his hands, and didn't know how to speak. For a while, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

"Brother Zhao, your village is far from what I thought. After a while, Huang Yuchen looked at Zhao Bin and smiled slightly.

"Before Brother Ma came, I was afraid that there were dozens of big men in the village, drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls, and slashing the rivers and lakes with a sword. Huang Yuchen finally spoke, Zhao Bin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and returned with a smile.

"Not really. Huang Yuchen said: "It's just that there is a killing atmosphere on the outside, but it is a peaceful countryside on the inside." Brother Zhao, you seem to be a bandit leader, but you don't have the majesty of a leader. This surprised me a bit. ”

Zhao Bin sighed, glanced at Huang Yuchen's hand, and held his big knife tightly, knowing in his heart that Huang Yuchen had not let down his guard, and followed Huang Yuchen's words: "This is the case here, it is said that it is a bandit, how can someone rob us, it is not self-sufficient, I am the leader, that is to say, it sounds good to go out, in fact, it is not as good as a village chief." ”

As he was talking, Li Zhong came out of the house, took a few steps to Zhao Bin's side, didn't speak, sat next to Li Bin with a big grin, and smiled at Huang Yuchen.

"Boy, it's not polite at all, the person who comes is a guest, don't you understand?" Zhao Bin couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Li Zhong like this, and said slightly angrily.

"Hey, Lord Chief, we haven't had a guest for thousands of years, so there are so many rules. Besides, this master won't be like my child. As he spoke, he raised his head at Emperor Yuchen and asked, "Right?"

"The guest is as he pleases, and there are not so many rules. When Huang Yuchen heard this, he smiled slightly.

"I said Brother Ma. Li Zhong hesitated for a moment, and didn't know what to call Huang Yuchen, so he opened his mouth and called the eldest brother: "What kind of cultivation are you? Why are so many of us not your opponents." ”

"Presumptuous!" When Zhao Bin heard this, he immediately became nervous, Huang Yuchen had not let down his guard, Li Zhong was so reckless, if Huang Yuchen heard that something was unfavorable to him, it would not be a joke in the stockade: "This kind of thing, how can you directly open your mouth and ask? Is there any rule?"

"Out of the way. Seeing this, Huang Yuchen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just a high-level cultivator, there's nothing I can't say." "Huang Yuchen's cultivation has reached the intermediate level of cultivators, but because of the mixed yuan array, the color of the fighting qi has become lighter, and it is no longer the essence yellow before, but slightly lighter, and there are all living people in front of him, so he naturally leaves some bottom limits. However, in the eyes of others, Huang Yuchen did not lie.

"Brother Ma, this kid is so ridiculous, just ignore him. Zhao Bin said, slamming Li Zhong's head at him, and scolded: "You kid let me go outside to work, did you let you in?"

Li Zhong covered his head, looked reluctant, got up slightly, and muttered: "I've always wanted to see a master, but now that I've seen it, you won't let me see it." ”

When Zhao Bin heard this, he raised his hand again, making a gesture to hit, and scolded in his mouth: "Let you get out, do you dare to talk nonsense?" Seeing this, Li Zhong hurriedly got up, and was just about to go out, only to listen to Huang Yuchen.

"Don't get in the way, it's good that Brother Li is here, he is so straightforward, but he also has a temper with me. Huang Yuchen smiled slightly.

Li Zhong stopped, laughed, got off the donkey, sat down directly, and said to this Ma Bin: "Everyone has said it, Lord Chief, let's take your temper." When he spoke, he had a hippie smile, Ma Bin raised his hand, and he didn't fight, and he didn't fight. After a pause, he sighed, put his hand down, and said to Huang Yuchen: "Brother Ma, this kid didn't cover up his words, he didn't stop him, he didn't have to worry about leaving him here." ”

Huang Yuchen smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's okay, Brother Li has a straightforward temperament, I like it." As he spoke, Li Zhong, who had rushed over again, nodded.

Li Zhong saw Huang Yuchen signaling to him, his heart was even more happy, he snorted in his mouth, raised his chin at Ma Bin, and said: "Look, how generous the horse master is, how kind is you, you beat and scold at every turn, and you don't have the demeanor of a leader." ”

"You've got the grace, little bunny. Zhao Bin frowned and glared at Li Zhong, but he didn't raise his hand to hit anyone. I think this Li Zhong is used to following Zhao Bin, some of them are neither big nor small. But judging from the fact that everyone was outside before, only Li Zhong stayed by Zhao Bin's side, this young man still knew the importance of it.

"Brother Zhao, I don't know something, and I want to ask Big Brother. Huang Yuchen didn't pay attention to Li Zhong anymore, but said to Zhao Bin.

"Brother Ma has any questions, just ask directly. Zhao Bin looked at Huang Yuchen and smiled.

"This village is a village and town, peaceful and peaceful, but the outside is hidden and abnormal, and the gate is also repaired to kill hideous, why is this. Huang Yuchen asked.

"Hey......" Zhao Bin sighed and said slightly: "I also heard what my predecessors said, this village was not like this before, and the gate was also built a few years ago, and it is not clear how many years it has been, but it should not be less than a few decades." ”

"I also heard Brother Zhao say that the village has been brilliant before, when did that happen?" Huang Yuchen saw that Zhao Bin wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that there must be a secret in it, since he had already come, he wanted to find out.

"When the village was built, it was a glorious moment. At that time, the people were prosperous, the force was also strong, and the place of the village was hidden, not known to outsiders, and it was in the limelight for a while, and it had a tendency to become the largest village in the vicinity. But later, it was confronted by other cottages, compressing the territory, and the materials obtained by the village became less and less, so it declined. Zhao Bin talked eloquently, and said a little hesitantly.

"When did Brother Zhao say?" Huang Yuchen listened to Zhao Bin's words, and there was something in his words, things must not be so simple.

"It's been about seven or eight years. Zhao Bin raised his head and recalled: "When I entered the cottage, it was also the heyday of the cottage, and it was not a marginal cottage at that time, there were a lot of materials, and the people in the village did not have to work every day. As he spoke, he looked at Huang Yuchen again and said: "Brother Ma, I know that you have a lot of doubts in your heart, but the things of the past are already in the past, and you still don't want to know too much, it is not a good thing for you as a living person." ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was about to say something, but he heard Li Zhong open his mouth and say: "What the leader said is reasonable, I grew up here, I don't know some things, Master Ma, don't ask, it's no good to know too much." ”

Huang Yuchen smiled, couldn't help but be slightly angry in his heart, and said: "I entered the village alone, if I don't ask clearly, how can I feel at ease?"

"I know that Brother Ma has doubts in his heart, but you have also entered this village, and everyone has seen it, this place is indeed like a village, and the village husband lives only every day, so what is there to worry about. Zhao Bin heard that Huang Yuchen was a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "My weapon is still in the hands of the little brother, if there is anything unfavorable to you, you can kill me with a knife." ”

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly and didn't speak again. It's just that listening to what Zhao Bin said before, coupled with what he saw, I always feel that this cottage is not simple. Just from cutting mountains into ladders and trees into walls, it is not the handiwork of ordinary people. The wooden door is majestic, and it is also very human. Zhao Bin's few words did not dispel Huang Yuchen's concerns, but deepened his doubts. But now it seems that Zhao Bin really didn't hurt his heart.

"Brother Zhao. After pondering for a moment, Huang Yuchen opened his mouth and asked, "Before, the eldest brother said that this vast mountain range is self-contained, can you tell me in detail." ”

"Cangmang Mountain...... Zhao Bin lowered his head and groaned, and opened his mouth to say: "I haven't been to many places, but this Cangmang Mountain is extremely wide, and from what I have seen and heard, it is self-contained. ”

"As I said before, the high-level village, the marginal village, what's going on?" Huang Yuchen continued to ask.

"The marginal village generally means that like us, there are not many people, there are no masters, and it is still on the edge of the vast mountain. Zhao Bin said: "We can only be self-sufficient, and we have to set aside a share of the supply to the high-class cottages, in exchange, the high-class cottages do not invade our territory, so that we have a place to hunt." ”

"The high villages, in general, have a large number of people, have masters sitting in the town, go deep into the mountains, control many marginal cottages, establish a Yi city, and all the marginal cottages in the territory are offered to the higher cottages. Zhao Bin said, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "If it's above, I don't know." ”

"It's a bit like the relationship between an empire and a province. Huang Yuchen arrived: "I don't know what the high-level cottage that controls Brother Zhao, what is it called, where is it?"

"Bailin Village. Zhao Bin replied: "It is impossible to know where the location is, and it is also like my village, which is hidden and abnormal, if it is not led by insiders, it will never be found." ”

"I can't find a cottage, so how can I deliver the confession that Brother Zhao said?"

"Twice a month, it's time to deliver the offer. Zhao Bin said: "The delivery is the ticket to enter the Yi City, without these, you can't enter the Yi City." Yi Shi can be regarded as a place where every village can be found. ”

"It's kind of funny, it's so mysterious. Huang Yuchen said in a low voice.

"What's mysterious, wait for the master of the horse behind you to see those people in the high-level village, and they will be dragged like anything, for fear that others will not know that they are the people of the high-level village, and they will all go to the sky. Huang Yuchen was thinking about it, and Li Zhong interjected on the side, speaking a little yin and yang.

"Oh, has Brother Li also been to Yi City?" Huang Yuchen smiled slightly and asked.

"That's natural, I grew up here, and I've never been anywhere. Li Zhong smiled and returned.

"What if you can't hand in the confession? Isn't the location of the stockade unknown to outsiders?" Huang Yuchen continued to ask.

"Can't hand it over?" Li Zhong glared and said, "Who dares not to hand it in?"

Zhao Bin hurriedly interjected: "If you can't pay the monthly payment, the person who goes will be killed on the spot." ”

"What if I can't hand it over, and people won't go? They don't know the location of the cottage, how can they kill people?" Huang Yuchen continued to ask.

"If that's the case, then it's miserable. Zhao Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Each village has its own territory, and the general range is under the control of the high-level village, if there is no monthly payment and no one is seen, then the high-level village will hand over all these territories to other surrounding villages, and will also dispatch masters, within the range, if you see the people of the cottage, you will kill." ”
