"Jiang Daya, where did you find all these dry firewood?" Lu Xu asked Jiang Daya with some curiosity.

In this cold winter, there is frost in the morning, and the general trees and dead grass are wet and not dry so quickly, but the bundle of firewood that Jiang Daya is holding is all dry, which makes him a little curious.

"Lu Gongzi, it's not the first time I've walked this road, so not far ahead, there is a cave, and in the summer, I would chop some firewood and put it in the hole. Jiang Daya replied with a smile.

"It seems that this time with Jiang Daya, you really chose the right person, it's cold, it's not easy to eat a hot meal in the mountains." Lu Xu praised Jiang Daya with a smile.

In fact, Jiang Daya's practice is what many mountain walkers have done, not only firewood, sometimes mountain walkers will bring rice and salt up the mountain and place them in one place, and even worse, hide some air-dried cured meat on the mountain, just in case, when something unexpected happens, you can also find food.

Jiang Daya lit the fire, boiled the water in the iron pot, and then poured the cooked rice prepared by the innkeeper into it and heated it, and then took out a large piece of bacon from the sack and cut it into thin slices with a knife, obviously, this is Lu Xu's lunch at noon.

The fragrance of the bacon rice was too strong, and after a while, the birds landed on the dead trees on the side of the road ten meters away, chirping in this direction, but they didn't dare to approach.

"These little birds are so timid that they don't dare to come close. Bai Ling'er looked at the birds in the tree and said with a smile.

Generally speaking, birds in the mountains, even if they are afraid of people, will not be so far away. They are all wild in the mountains, and they are the least afraid of life, as long as there is food, they dare to approach people.

"It's not just a bird, look over there. Lu Xu listened to Bai Ling'er's words, smiled, and pointed to the mountains and forests in front of him on the left, "I saw a few black spots there, it was a hungry beast, and I didn't dare to approach." ”

Bai Ling'er looked at the place where Lu Xu's finger was pointing, and sure enough, there were several black beasts there, staring at here with a greedy face at this time, but the strange thing was that these beasts kept digging the ground with their feet, as if Lu Xu had something here that made them afraid, and they didn't dare to approach.

"Two, don't worry about these beasts, these beasts don't dare to come, let's hurry up and get on the road, otherwise we won't be able to get to the place where we live tonight, but we will have to sleep in the carriage." ”

Bai Ling'er frowned when she heard Jiang Daya's words: "You mean we can't get to Kuijia Village today?"

"Of course we can't get there today, if nothing else, it's good to be able to arrive in three days, let's go to another village today to spend the night." Jiang Daya replied.

Jiang Daya said so, Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er didn't have any opinions, and the three of them ate their own rice from the iron pot, Lu Xu was not pampered, and he could eat this meal. Bai Ling'er was a little disgusted that the meal was not clean, but after tasting a few bites, she also ate it.

Of course, the key reason is that this rice is hot, which can warm the stomach in winter, and the bacon added by Jiang Daya is really fragrant.

After eating, Jiang Daya put the iron pot back up, continued to raise the whip and set off, rushing in the mountains, it was actually very boring, Jiang Daya saw through the gap in the door curtain that Lu Xu who was sitting in the back seat actually hugged the little girl and squinted his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "These two people are also amazing, they can sleep so shaking." ”

In fact, where did Jiang Daya know, full of warm thoughts, Lu Xu was just holding Bai Ling'er's delicate body and light Bai Ling'er under the cover of the robe.

When it was close to evening, Bai Ling'er finally saw the village Jiang Daya said, to be honest, there were villages in the deep mountains, Bai Ling'er was not surprised at all, this was the habit of some barbarians. Born in the mountains, raised in the mountains.

But to Bai Ling'er's surprise, there was not a trace of light in this village, and there was not a single human voice, just like an abandoned village that was deserted and uninhabited.

"Homecoming!"

When Jiang Daya's carriage drove into the village gate, Bai Ling'er whispered a sentence on the stele at the entrance of the village, and firmly remembered the name of the village.

"Here, we'll spend the night here tonight. Jiang Daya's carriage stopped not long after entering the village, but he did not get off the car, but his expression became very serious, he looked at Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er, and said seriously: "Two, according to our previous agreement, you will all listen to me when you enter the village in a while, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, but never talk nonsense, let alone go out and walk around." ”

"Two, this is not a joke, if you can't do it, then I can't send you to Kuijia Village, let's go back overnight tonight. ”

Looking at Jiang Daya's serious face, Lu Xu smiled softly and promised, "Okay, I can hear you both." ”

In the deathly silent village, there was not even a single sound of poultry chirping, Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er followed Jiang Daya and walked in a certain direction of the village road.

Jiang Daya is very careful when she walks, often stop-and-go, and Bai Ling'er is even more engrossed, paying attention to the Quartet, with her girl's sensitive mind, she can faintly feel that something is wrong, this homecoming village is probably not simple.

Among the three, the most relaxed was Lu Xu, with an indifferent smile on his face, looking at the houses on the side of the road from time to time, as if he was very interested in looking at the houses of these barbarians.

Click!

The sound of a crisp crutch hitting the ground made Dejiang Daya's whole person stand still like a frightened bird all of a sudden, which also made De Bai Ling's face pale and hugged Lu Xu's arm, staring at the corner in front of him, and the sound came from the corner.

"You two, don't talk for a while, just follow me, you must remember. ”

After Jiang Daya said this, he was silent, and looked at the corner with a very nervous expression, where a crutch appeared in front of Lu Xu and the three of them, and after that, it was a thin old man, wearing the unique costume of barbarians, trembling and walking towards the three of them, taking a step, the crutch knocked on the ground, and the sound seemed so crisp in the deathly quiet village.

"Grandpa, you're good. Jiang Daya saw the old man coming over, and hurriedly bowed and shouted respectfully.

"Who are you?" the old man's voice was extremely dry, like the sound of two pieces of metal rubbing together.

"I'm the nephew of the carpenter's family in the west of the village, and I met your grandfather with my uncle last year. Jiang Daya replied respectfully.

"Oh, it's the nephew of the Guiping family, then go. ”

The old man listened to Jiang Daya's words, raised his crutches, and continued to walk forward.

"Thank you for returning to Grandpa. Jiang Daya breathed a sigh of relief, and made a gesture towards Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er with his hand behind him, signaling the two of them to hurry up and leave.

"Wait, who are these two people, and they are also Guiping's nephews?" the old man suddenly stood again, his eyes fell on Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er, and he asked.

"These two are my friends, we will spend the night at my uncle's house tonight, and we will leave tomorrow, and please return to grandpa for accommodation. After Jiang Daya said this at this moment, the cold sweat on his face had already come out, and he kept bowing to the old man.

Jiang Daya's performance made Bai Ling'er look confused, even if this old man didn't welcome them to the village, he didn't have to behave so humblely. We went to your uncle's house, not this old man's house, could it be that this old man is the head of the village where he returns, and his management is too wide.

The old man's gaze moved from Jiang Daya to Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er, and when his gaze fell on Bai Ling'er's face, he turned away very plainly, but when he saw Lu Xu's smile, the whole person was stunned.

"Grandpa, let's take advantage of this place for one night, don't bother. Lu Xu said to the old man with a smile.

Jiang Daya heard Lu Xu speak, and his face turned pale all of a sudden. Suddenly, knowing that something was going to happen this time, his hand had reached into the pocket at the waistband of his pants, and he was about to take out something hidden there.

"Oh, no...... No problem, a few guests are on their own. ”

The old man seemed to be a little frightened, his voice trembled a little, and after saying this, he walked away quickly on crutches, how could he feel like he was faltering at the beginning.

"Hey, what's going on, how could this grandfather leave so easily. Jiang Daya watched the old man leave, and muttered a little confused.

"We're not bad people, we're going to your uncle for a night. Isn't it normal for this old man to leave?" Lu Xu replied with a smile.

"Lu Gongzi, you don't know this, this ...... Never mind. It's okay to go, you can save some energy, now you follow me, if you meet people in the village again, don't talk, let me say everything. ”

The corners of Lu Xu's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't speak again, but just hugged Bai Ling'er tightly and followed behind Jiang Daya, as if he had agreed to Jiang Daya's request by default.

This homecoming village was not very big when it looked from the outside, but at this moment, following Jiang Daya, the three of them had been walking for more than a quarter of an hour, and they still did not reach their uncle's house at the west end of the village, which made Jiang Daya a little anxious.

"What's going on, why hasn't it arrived for so long. Jiang Daya listened to the footsteps, muttered, and suddenly took out a blood-red copper bowl from the sack he was carrying, the style was quite old, and the color of brass could no longer be seen, but it was strangely covered with a layer of blood red, and there was a faint smell of blood.

Jiang Daya took the bowl and bowed a few times in a certain direction, and then muttered some barbarian words that Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er couldn't understand.

Bai Ling'er looked at Jiang Daya's movements, but looked at Lu Xu on the side with a strange expression, this Jiang Daya's current behavior, could it be that he was asking God to worship Buddha?

This Jiang Daya is indeed very strange, and then Bai Ling'er suddenly remembered Lu Xu's smile along the way, and didn't let him go to find out the secret in the carriage behind Jiang Daya, could it be that Brother Lu already knew?

The more Bai Ling'er thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high, could it be that this Jiang Daya was also a person who cultivated immortals.

However, Bai Ling'er believes that even if this Jiang Daya is also an immortal cultivator, his cultivation must be far worse than that of Brother Lu, otherwise Brother Lu would not have seen through him, and he did not see through Brother Lu.

After reciting an inexplicable spell for a while, Jiang Daya buckled the bowl in the middle of the road, and then squatted down and carefully fiddled with the position of the bowl mouth, as if to straighten the bowl.
