Qin Qianye was thinking crankily while moving forward casually. Suddenly caught a glimpse of the cooking smoke coming from the village in front of him, and suddenly felt that his stomach was empty, and he remembered that he had not eaten for most of the day, and hurriedly went to touch the dry food, who knew that he had never touched anything, and he didn't know when the package was empty, only the long sword in his hand had not been lost, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Thinking that he was in a hurry, he didn't even notice that the package was cut by thorns, but the kindness that the relatives and friends in the village had worked hard to prepare for him was in vain, which was really unlucky. At the moment, I had no choice but to walk towards the village in front of me, so that I could beg for some food and eat for a while.

When he walked to the head of the village, every time he was about to speak, those people saw him holding a long sword, and immediately fled away, as if they had seen a wild beast, and fled with their lives. Qin Qianye couldn't help but wonder, he looked around, there was no one around, could it be that they were afraid of himself, could it be that he was so frightened just because he had a long sword in his hand, were the mortals outside so timid? He smiled as he walked towards the village.

When he arrived in the village, Qin Qianye was even more surprised, only to see that the doors of his house were closed, as if he was trying to avoid some demon or evil god, and the village where there were still some people had become extremely quiet because of his arrival. White veils hung all over the village, as if many had died not long ago. Qin Qianye was helpless, seeing that there was no one to ask, smelling the aroma of the farmer's food, he felt more and more hungry, so he had to find a nearby farmhouse, intending to ask what the reason was anyway.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard a child inside, "Father, that brother just has a sword, and he doesn't look like a bad person, why should we be afraid of him like this?" ”

I only heard a man inside immediately scolded, tried his best to lower his voice and said: "Stop, what does your little child know, if you talk again, maybe he will hear it, and he will dig out your heart and liver and eat it." Don't you remember Ah Mao, who was gouged out by those people with swords a few days ago, a junior?"

When the child heard this, he seemed to be really frightened, and after a long time, the people inside were silent again, and could only hear a slight gasp.

Qin Qianye suddenly realized that the reason why every household here was closed and hid from him. It turned out that he had just suffered a catastrophe before, and he had already been frightened, no wonder white veils were hung everywhere, and it seemed that many people had died in the previous days. It just so happened that today I took another sword, and they thought that I was with those wicked people, and I thought that people outside the mountain were naturally cowardly! But who would be so vicious and cruel? If you want to eat people's hearts and livers, then you will become a monster.

He stepped forward, knocked lightly on the door, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm not the bad guy you think, I'm just a hunter who came out of the mountains, passing by here, and I don't want to lose my package in the mountains, and my dry food has also dropped, so I want to come here to ask for something to eat, and I have no malice." ”

There was no answer for a long time, but from the change in their breathing, it was clear that they were really very scared in their hearts. After another half an hour, Qin Qianye saw that the people inside were really scared, and he couldn't break into the door, and was waiting to find another place.

Suddenly, a woman inside said softly: "Father, child, this person does not seem to be a bad person, when did you see those bad people knocking on the door like this, if it was really with those people, you should have broken in a long time ago! ”

Her man seemed to feel reasonable, and finally, after a soft sound, a man with a suspicious face opened the door, but when he looked up at Qin Qianye, his face immediately changed.

Qin Qianye found that he was looking at his sword, and he turned his head to look at it, only to find that there were still blood stains on the sword, obviously because he was in too much of a hurry after killing the colorful poisonous python before, and forgot to wipe it off. He hurriedly explained with a smile: "Big brother, don't be afraid, this blood is just left over from killing wild things in the mountains before, and I forgot to wipe it away for a while, but I didn't expect it to scare you, so I really didn't want to go." ”

After listening to Qin Qianye's explanation, and seeing that he spoke softly and didn't look like a vicious person, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief, put his mind at ease, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you say it earlier, it really scared us all." ”

Qin Qianye said with a smile: "I actually wanted to tell everyone earlier, but as soon as you saw me, it was like seeing a tiger, running and closing the door, so how could I say it?"

When the man heard this, he immediately touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Yes, I almost forgot about this, I really can't blame you." After finishing speaking, he immediately invited Qin Qianye in, and after knowing Qin Qianye's intention, he didn't shirk at all, and hurriedly asked him to eat together. At the same time, let your children go to the village and explain it to the people, so that they will not be afraid. I went to scald two pots of rice wine again, and asked the Hun family to cook a few more dishes so that I could serve the wine. Qin Qianye saw that they didn't know him, but they could treat each other like this, and he was so grateful in his heart, thinking that he had laughed at them for being cowardly before, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

The two chatted while drinking, and learned that this man's name was Shi Jian, who had been farming here for generations, and was originally a bold and cheerful man, if he hadn't been frightened by the tragedy that happened in the village a few days ago, he would not have been as timid as he is today.

Qin Qianye originally didn't know anything about this outside world, although what he heard at this time was just what Shi Jian said casually, he also thought it was very interesting, that Shi Jian was originally cheerful, seeing Qin Qianye Junwei and polite, his heart was already happy, and it was rare to meet such an outsider who was willing to listen to his own gossip, seeing that he listened happily and seriously, and asked questions from time to time, obviously not only polite, but sincerely listening. He became more and more proud, and suddenly remembered what he had heard about immortals in the town a few months ago, so he wanted to use this to show off, he said: "Little brother, I see that you are holding a long sword, and you are not an ordinary person, I wonder if you have heard of the deeds of immortals?"

Qin Qianye smiled and said: "Little brother's long sword is just for show, I am a hunter, I have been in the mountains for a long time, I have always been lonely and unheard, I have never heard of any immortal deeds, if Brother Shi knows something, you might as well say that I can see it for a long time." ”

Shi Jian saw that his expression was very sincere, and his heart became more and more happy, and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you know, in our land of thousands of miles, there is a place called Lingqiao, which is a fairy mountain, and it is said that there are many immortals living on it, they help the world and save the people, subdue demons and eliminate demons, and they are all gods worshiped by our people." It's just that they hide in the Holy Realm of Lingshan on weekdays, and they don't linger in the world easily. ”
