The next day, the red morning glow soaked the eastern sky, and the city, which had been silent for a night, was now lively again. Lin Nan and Lu Da Niu made a good house payment, and traveled all the way west, heading in the direction of Xiao Jin Kingdom.

Fengzhou City was prosperous in business, the streets were full of traffic, turning the west gate, Lin Nan and the two paid taxes and fees to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and walked along the road.

The official road gradually drifted away, and Lin Nan saw a lot of ragged people on the side of the road, some of them were rickety, walking alone, and some dragged their families and mouths, and they were pitiful.

Lin Nan tilted his head and said: "I didn't expect that there were miserable people three miles away from Fengzhou City. ”

Lu Daniu said with a smile: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is the case with all dust." Brother Lin Nan didn't notice that the officers and soldiers guarding the gate were angry at everyone who came in and out?"

"It was the government that prevented these people from entering the city, could it be that there was a drought?" Lin Nan thought for a moment and looked up in surprise.

Lu Da Niu shook his head and said, "Wait until we enter Yujiakou and ask." ”

Yujiakou is the fortress of Chu State, Fengzhou can be taken in the east, and the hinterland is straight into the south in the south, where the terrain is steep, and there is a tendency that the husband is not open. It's just that the population is sparse, the land is barren, and the Chu State has not been divided into feudal systems for a long time, and many princes are unwilling to want that desolate place.

As time went on, the two also saw more and more refugees on the road.

Frowning slightly, Lin Nan said: "Senior Brother Lu, I think most of these people have abandoned the city, there is no catastrophe, I'm afraid no one is willing to leave their hometown!"

Lu Daniu nodded and said, "It's either a natural disaster or [***]. ”

The old man who was passing by by mistake, hearing this, suddenly paused his steps, and said: "Wrong, wrong, two, Yujiakou is not a natural disaster or [***], it is a demon." ”

Lin Nan and the others were taken aback.

Lu Da Niu said: "The wind of the world says, where is the demon to make trouble, even if there is, the immortal chief Taoist can tolerate it?"

"The two heroes don't know. Lao Yan sighed and said: "This matter has to start from a few months ago, the land in Yujiakou is barren, and although the son has lived a hard life, he is also happy. It's just that a few months ago, a boy suddenly disappeared in Xiaotun Village. ”

"Originally, the boy was greedy for fun, and there would be three or two cases of drowning in the river pool every year, as usual under the village security organization, the strong men of Xiaotun Village went to look for it together, the boy did not find it, and the boy disappeared after a few days, which can be in a hurry to kill the baby. ”

Lao Lizi's wife walked a distance ahead, and when she saw that Lao Lizi still hadn't kept up, she muttered dissatisfiedly, and shouted in a loud voice: "You have a lot of things, why are you talking nonsense with outsiders? Saving your life is important, you don't want your life, I still want it!"

Lao Yan looked back, "Mother-in-law, you can't bear to watch these two people being eaten by that demon." ”

"This is because they want to go to Yujiakou, and you didn't force them to go. ”

The old man chewed his tongue and stretched out his hand, "You, you ......"

"What are you, if it weren't for the old lady's family willing to take us in, maybe I would have gone with you to ask for food. "The old companion looks arrogant.

Lin Nan spread his hands and looked at Lu Daniu with his head.

"If you can't go, if you don't go, the old lady is gone. As she spoke, she made a gesture to move forward.

Lao Luo looked embarrassed and looked at Lin Nan and the others.

Lu Da Niu patted the old man on the shoulder, and his voice was like a bell, "Old man, how can you listen to the foolish opinion of the woman and Taoist, and tell us what happened in that Xiaotun Village, if it is a demon, I will be the first to accept it." ”

"Gah. Gu Yu let out a loud whistling sound beside him.

"I can't go. The old wife yelled.

The old man looked hesitant.

Lin Nan gave Gu Yu a look, and the latter understood, "quack, quack" called twice, flapped his wings, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the stones flew into the sand.

Lao Li's foothold was unstable, and he was shocked in his heart, "Divine bird!"

"Hey, hey. The old wife stumbled and fell to the ground.

It seems that he has eaten a reassuring pill, Lao Li hesitated a little, and said: "I am already in the year of the sixtieth year, your mother-in-law has been with me for thirty years, and I have not seen a single egg, you want to go back to your mother's house, I will go back to Xiaotun Village." ”

"You dare. "The old wife is angry.

Lao Yan took a breath and said: "What else do I dare not do, in the year of the sixtieth year, I don't expect a successor, I have brought you thirty years of footwashing water, I don't want to step into the coffin." ”

"Two knights, go, I'll show you the way, and then tell you in detail about the demons in this Xiaotun village on the way. ”

"Hu Laohan, if you dare to take a step forward...... before she finished speaking, Lao Yan had already turned around and followed Lin Nan and the others.

"Old man Hu, you have suffered a thousand cuts. The old wife chopped off her feet, "I won't let you go, old lady...... You can't wait for me. ”
