The endlessly flowing Lishui roared in the narrow rocky river channel, rushing from east to west, and the snow-white waves rumbled all over the river, just like giant beasts roaring day and night.On the side of the jagged river bank, there is a thin and narrow bluestone official road winding up along the river. If you walk nine hundred miles without stopping, you will be the border town of Xijiang.

However, if you come down from the official road in the upper reaches of the Lishui River and walk slowly up Sanli Road along a desolate path towards the direction of the Yufeng, you will see a small village beside the mountain road.

This is Sanlizhuang.

Sanlizhuang was originally a village formed by the tenant farmers of Wangyou Valley.Zhuangzi is backed by Yufeng, facing Lishui in front, and on both sides are the silt left by Lishui's impact on the shore for many years. The population in Zhuangzi cannot be said to be prosperous.Moreover, since the civil strife in Wangyou Valley several decades ago, the popularity of this Wangyou Valley in the martial arts has plummeted. In addition, Lin Mao was sick and weak and had not seen outsiders for a long time. Naturally, few people came to Wangyou Valley for many years.Sanlizhuang is guarded at the foot of this mountain, and outsiders rarely visit it. The people of the village work at sunrise and rest at sunset, which seems to be a hidden paradise.

It was the severe winter season at this time, and the terraced fields outside the village had been frozen, and the leaves of the forest not far away had fallen off, leaving only dark brown tree trunks standing desolately in the snow.But in this desolate and deserted forest, there were three uninvited guests—a tall, white-haired young man with a very handsome and youthful appearance, his eyes were radiant, and his martial arts were extremely strong. , he was holding a slender young man in his arms. That young man had a gorgeous face, and his every frown and smile had all kinds of charms. He could be said to be the most beautiful person in the world.But in front of these two people, there was a delicate young girl who was walking briskly, leading the two of them through the woods towards Sanlizhuang with ease.

Naturally, these three people are Chang Xiaoqing, Lin Mao and Yao Xiaohua.

After the three of them got out of trouble, they rushed to Sanlizhuang. Firstly, Yao Xiaohua said that she missed her dearly, and secondly, Lin Mao's chest injury was quite serious.

Yao Xiaohua walked straight along the road when she arrived at the cluttered forest at the foot of the mountain, she was obviously very familiar with the surroundings of Sanlizhuang, the closer she was to Sanlizhuang, the lighter her steps leading the way.

"My mother is probably worried to death." Yao Xiaohua said while walking forward, "I'm afraid that when she sees me, she will cry a lot..."

Having said that, her tone gradually dropped.

But after a pause, she became cheerful again: "Ah, don't be afraid, when she is finished getting angry, I will ask mother to make large pieces of jar meat and roast chicken for you to eat! The jar meat at my mother's table is the most expensive food in the whole village. Anyone who knows best—”

While Yao Xiaohua was still talking, Chang Xiaoqing suddenly stretched out his long arms, grabbed her collar and dragged her back.

"What? Uh-"

Immediately afterwards, he pinched Yao Xiaohua's throat, and suppressed the girl's exclamation back into her throat.

"Xiaoqing?"

Lin Mao was also surprised by Chang Xiaoqing's behavior.

"Shh-"

Chang Xiaoqing's expression suddenly became extremely cold, and he said softly. At the same time, he suddenly hugged Lin Mao into his arms, and in a flash, he slipped behind an extremely thick dead tree.

"Not quite right."

He whispered in Lin Mao's ear, and looked coldly at Yao Xiaohua who was full of panic.

"Before you came out, was Sanlizhuang so lively?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "lively" slightly.

Yao Xiaohua's face was full of bewilderment, apparently she still didn't know what it was that her throat was choked.On the contrary, it was Lin Mao who quickly came to know that Chang Xiaoqing acted properly, and there must be a reason for his actions. When he heard the word "hustle and bustle", he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and he found out the clue.

At this time, the three of them were still some distance away from Sanlizhuang, but if they listened carefully, they could hear the uninterrupted sounds of people and horses along the wind, which was very lively.

Now, even Lin Mao couldn't help frowning.

As I said before, the people in Sanli Village have been tenant farmers of Wangyou Valley for generations. In addition, the cultivated land here is scarce, and the winter is even more bitter. As easy as that, the population is scarce.At this time, it was still some time before the Chinese New Year. In normal times, relying on the few people in the village, it would be impossible for such a clamor to come out—not to mention the sound of horses.

Who in this world can afford to ride a horse and raise a horse is not wealthy?And how could a peasant family like the people in Sanlizhuang find a horse to raise?

"Miss Yao... Before this, there were outsiders in Sanlizhuang?"

Lin Mao lowered his voice and asked very seriously.

Yao Xiaohua shook her head ignorantly, as if to say something.Lin Mao quickly patted Chang Xiaoqing's hand, signaling him to let go of Yao Xiaohua's throat.

"I...when I left home...in Zhuangzi...no one else came..."

Yao Xiaohua was so frightened that she spoke intermittently.

"In such a cold day, the shopkeepers won't come... In Zhuangzi... the hunters are all frozen in the woods... there are fewer people than before..."

As she narrated, Chang Xiaoqing's eyes became more and more fierce.

He has strong martial arts and abundant internal energy, so he is farther away than Lin Mao and Yao Xiaohua.At this time, he could clearly hear, among the faint voices of people and horses, there was the sound of golden cries of swords and swords interlacing, and occasional laughter and shouts, the voices were majestic and rough, obviously coming from the martial arts man of.

Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao looked at each other with vigilance in each other's eyes.

Wangyou Valley has been silent for decades, and suddenly there are people from all walks of life gathered at the foot of the mountain—no matter how naive a person is, they will not think this is a good thing.

Chang Xiaoqing shot like lightning, and suddenly hit Yao Xiaohua's big acupoints all over her body. Seeing the girl's figure soften and fall silently to the ground, Chang Xiaoqing picked her up like a burden.

"Master, I'm sorry...I'll take you there."

He said to Lin Mao again.

"Well, be careful."

Lin Mao said softly, allowing Chang Xiaoqing to hold him around his waist.

Afterwards, Chang Xiaoqing suddenly lifted his breath and jumped up, gliding across the snow with that extremely advanced lightness kung fu, and silently and swiftly dived towards Sanlizhuang.

When we got closer, as Chang Xiaoqing expected, Sanlizhuang was full of people, among the thatched huts on the mud floor, there were countless people in bright clothes, people armed with weapons coming and going, it was as lively as a martial arts league Jiancheng where it is located.
