Chapter 74: Single Village
Ah Xiu really doesn't want to stay any longer, no matter how the father and son of the Xu family of Hongzhengmen look at it, it looks like they are selling their children, and those people from other sects and families are all very snobbish, if they can work together, then Yin Qianjun will definitely not be able to get benefits.
As soon as he walked to the door, Jiang Huan ran out and stopped him: "Lin Xiu, where are you going?"
Ah Xiu shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, I want to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
Jiang Huan smiled slightly, and said: "I don't like to be with them either, this is not like this, how about we go together?"
Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Huan to follow him, for this woman, Ah Xiu was a little annoying at first, but now, he felt that she still had something cute, so he said, "Okay, then let's go together." ”
Jiang Huan was very happy to see that Ah Xiu agreed, and as soon as the two were about to leave, Chen Heng and Huo Dengxu chased after him, and Chen Heng asked, "Senior sister, where are you going?"
Jiang Huan glanced back at Chen Heng: "Senior brother, if you go back and talk to the master, just say that Lin Xiu and I have gone to travel the rivers and lakes." With that, the two left.
Chen Heng and Huo Dengxu stood in place and looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing.
Ah Xiu and Jiang Huan took out their horses and went out of the main gate of Hongzheng, it was already dark, and there were no hotels nearby, so they had to find a small forest, light a bonfire, and plan to lean until dawn.
Jiang Huan took a branch and slapped it boringly in the bonfire, watching the firelight reflected on Ah Xiu's face, a little red, making his angular face even more resolute, Jiang Huan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Ah Xiu glanced at Jiang Huan and said lightly, "What are you looking at me like for?"
Jiang Huan blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "I see, you must be a disciple cultivated by a certain hidden sect, am I guessing right?"
Ah Xiu smiled and asked, "Why do you think that?"
"Look, you are only so young, you have such a high level of martial arts, and you can cultivate talents like you, I'm afraid that only those hidden sects are the ones who are in the world. ”
Ah Xiu smiled, noncommittal, Jiang Huan saw that Ah Xiu didn't answer him, thinking that he had acquiesced, she leaned over Ah Xiu's side, and asked mysteriously, "Hey, isn't your sect very large?"
"Oh, it's huge. Ah Xiu replied casually.
Seeing Ah Xiu's absent-minded appearance, Jiang Huan suddenly became annoyed, her little nose wrinkled slightly, and she turned her head away and stopped paying attention to Ah Xiu, looking very cute.
Ah Xiu's mood was a little low, although he had never been to Shan Village, but as long as he thought that more than 100 people in the entire village had been slaughtered, he was always unspeakably uncomfortable, he often wondered, what kind of world is this, is human life so cheap, and those people don't feel guilty at all when they start?
In the midst of his thoughts and doubts, Ah Xiu entered a dream, where he heard a cry and saw blood all over the ground.
Early the next morning, Ah Xiu looked at the sleepy-eyed Jiang Huan and asked, "Do you know where Shan Village is?"
Jiang Huan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I know, Shan Village is more than two hundred miles away from here. But a few months ago, I heard that the whole village of Shan had died, what, are you going there?"
Ah Xiu nodded: "I want to go and see, can you show me the way?"
"Of course, let's explore the rivers and lakes together. Jiang Huan said with a smile.
After that, the two first found a place to eat something, bought some food and goods, and then went in the direction of Shan Village.
It's just that when he was paying, Jiang Huan looked at the silver that Ah Xiu took out, and asked with an unkind face: "How is it? It's very comfortable to spend other people's money, right?" This really made Ah Xiu extremely embarrassed, he wanted to return the rest of the money to Jiang Huan, but Jiang Huan didn't want it, saying that he would let Ah Xiu be a housekeeper along the way.
At noon the next day, the two had arrived at Shan Village, a somewhat remote place, although it was still under the jurisdiction of Celestial Gongjinghai, but it was already a marginal area and sparsely populated. Along the way, Ah Xiu heard Jiang Huan say that after the accident in Shan Village, Jing Hai also sent someone to investigate, but there was no news after just going through the motions, which made Ah Xiu's impression of Jing Hai a little worse.
Speaking of which, this place is still very beautiful, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there used to be such a simple small village at the foot of the mountain, where the people are very industrious and have no quarrel with the world. Only now, Ah Xiu looked over from a distance, it was already noon, but he didn't see the smoke rising, and only a dead silence remained.
The two tied their horses to the trees outside the village and walked into the village, where there were dozens of houses in total, shuttling among them, looking at the mess all over the ground, Ah Xiu couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Hey, there is really no one." ”
Just when he was a little disappointed, the window of a room not far away moved slightly, which immediately caught Ah Xiu's attention, he raised his hand to signal Jiang Huan to keep quiet, and then walked towards the room.
Jiang Huan didn't have Ah Xiu's eyesight and didn't notice anything, but when he saw Ah Xiu's movements, he knew that he must have found something, so he tiptoed behind Ah Xiu.
Coming to the door of the room, Ah Xiu gently pushed the door, but he couldn't open it, and the door was blocked from the inside, and this time Ah Xiu could conclude that there must be someone inside.
He pushed hard in his hand, and there was a "click", as if something was broken, and the door of the house also opened, and as soon as Ah Xiu wanted to enter the house, he found that something was flying towards him, and he hurriedly retreated to avoid it, only to find that it was a stone that hit him.
Immediately after, a few more stones flew out of the house, the strength was not hit, and the accuracy was not good, Ah Xiu easily dodged, and after waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the house, Ah Xiu rushed in as soon as he jumped over, only to find that in the corner of this dilapidated room, a teenage girl was huddled there, her eyes full of fear and anger, her thin body trembling under the clothes full of holes, and a small hand still holding a stone tightly.
Ah Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the little girl, the girl trembled even more, and when Ah Xiu arrived in front of him, the little girl suddenly let out a scream, held her head with both hands, and shouted in horror: "Don't kill me...... Don't kill me!"
Ah Xiu squatted down, trying to make her smile more gentle, the little girl waited for a long time and didn't see anyone hurt herself, so she slowly raised her head, and when she saw Ah Xiu's appearance, the fear in her eyes decreased slightly, but she was still cautious.
"Little sister, I'm not a bad person, don't worry. Ah Xiu said softly.
The girl didn't answer, just stared at Ah Xiu with wide eyes.
At this time, Jiang Huan walked in, she didn't expect that the person in the house would be such a little girl, and hurriedly asked, "Lin Xiu, who is she?"
Ah Xiu waved his hand to Jiang Huan and said, "You go outside and get some food to come in." ”
Jiang Huan answered and went out, and Ah Xiu said to the little girl again: "Little sister, I won't hurt you, are you hungry?"
The little girl nodded slightly.
Ah Xiu stretched out a hand to help the girl up, the girl's body shook, and there was a burst of vigilance, Ah Xiu stopped in front of the girl, with a smile on his face, and after a while, maybe the girl didn't feel any malice in Ah Xiu, so he handed over one of his small hands.
