The worst is the next cousin

After walking for a long time, it became dark, and because of the darkness, the village ahead was more eye-catching.

The melting lights scattered on the ground warmed people's hearts.

"Sure enough, there is a village!" Bo Shanxi yelled excitedly, shaking his brother's arm, after all he was young.

Bo Shanjue's lips trembled: "We are here."

"Are you here? Don't forget, we are going to Jielin, and here is a small station at most. Moreover, the station officials will happily welcome the silver we bring, they may not." Jin Chen grabbed the bag hanging on his body. A small cloth bag with a mysterious totem embroidered on the silver cloth with only black thread.

Houses built of stones are scattered on the snow field, and a village is surrounded by fences that are taller than people. The smoke from cooking houses envelopes the village. If it is daytime, even in places where you can see it, you may not be able to find this village. .The ground in the village was covered with a thick layer of snow that had not been swept away, and the roofs of the stone houses were also covered with snow. Obviously, the people here did not want others to find out that there was such a village.

Dozens of young people held different agricultural tools in their hands, most of which were hoes. They all raised their "weapons" vigilantly and fiercely, waving at the group of outsiders, signaling them to detour.

A black-haired man with his arms sleeved came out from behind the young man.

"We are merchants from Qingxi. We want to take those things to Jielin. We passed by here. It's getting dark now. We want to stay overnight." Jin Su stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"Qing Xiren?" The man squinted his eyes, and his scrutiny looked past Jin Su, scanning the carriage and the exhausted group of people.

"He lied!" A 20-year-old young man shouted, he was the leader among the young men, and what he was holding in his hands were not agricultural tools, but two daggers made of black iron, as if he was ready to pounce on him at any time , cut off the head of one of them with a dagger.Even if he didn't say it, his resentful eyes made everyone aware of it.

He recognized Xun Chi.

Jin Su frowned and looked back at the red-haired man who was tied by a rope and got off the horse, but was still staring at their young master without regret.

"Horse thief?" The man in black had a displeased tone, and when he saw the three horse thieves who had not dismounted from their horses behind them and waited to get back with tokens, he waved his sleeves angrily, and there was no trace of it on his face. With a pleasant face, he said coldly: "You are in the company of horse thieves, and we Wuleng people and horse thieves swear to the sky, you go, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

Just when the man was about to walk back to the door, Mao Xiaofei couldn't help calling out: "Stay!"

Everyone looked at him, which made Mao Xiaofei a little nervous, and he stammered: "You don't let us in because you are afraid of horse thieves making trouble. This man was robbed by us, and we are not with him. I hope you will Accommodate."

"What sir?" Ye Jintian exclaimed dissatisfied, "I think he's just a coward."

The man reprimanded: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the boy!" His angry eyes turned to Mao Xiaofei, "I heard what your companion said? Hurry up and get out!"

"Don't go!" Mao Xiaofei pounced forward, he only wanted to hold back the annoyed man in black, but unexpectedly his whole body flew out uncontrollably, knocking the man to the ground. Rolled a few times on the ground.

"Mr. Ji!" The boy with a short sword rushed forward.

Mao Xiaofei had no choice but to grab the man's neck and get up, but he didn't dare to let go.

"do not come!"

The man called "Mr. Ji" stuck his neck and said, "If you strangle me, I won't let you spend the night on the territory of the Ulen tribe."

"You, you, put your sword away." Mao Xiaofei raised his chin.

The young man snorted coldly, put away the dagger, and warned: "If you dare to hurt a single hair of Mr. Ji, I will peel off your scalp and make a lantern!"

"I'm definitely not scalped enough." Mao Xiaofei smiled apologetically, how could he have imagined that he had such great strength, if he hadn't given up his strength in the end, Mr. Ji might have been crushed to death by him.

But this man who seems to listen to anything the Wuleng tribe can say, actually doesn't know martial arts at all. Originally, they thought he was a master because they listened to him and thought he was a master.

"Mr. Ji, I'll let you go now."

The young man caught the man who was pushed by Mao Xiaofei, and immediately placed two daggers on Mao Xiaofei's neck without politeness.

"Brother, I have something to say. If I want to harm you, Mr. Ji, he can't still be alive and breathing, right?"

The boy still wants to speak.

A hand missing a finger rested on the pitch-black blade.

"Mr. Ji."

"Tang Miao, step back."

The young man's face was filled with displeasure, he put away his swords and stepped aside.

"Ji Huai'en." The man bowed his hands in salute.

Mao Xiaofei returned the salute and said embarrassedly: "My name is Mao Xiaofei. We came from Qingxi. We suffered a lot on the way. We walked in the snow for nearly ten days. Everyone was hungry and thirsty. We met horse thieves again, and the horse thieves insisted on letting us leave a carload of toll money.”

Ji Huai'en glanced at Xun Chi.

Mao Xiaofei also turned his head to take a look. Xun Chi was drooling at Ye Jintian, sniffing his nose, not at all like the heinous leader of the vicious horse thieves.

"If Mr. Ji is not at ease, we don't want to go in, so we will deal with it outside for one night. It's just that we have no dry food and water, and we have been eating snow all the way. Several of our companions are already coughing up blood. The situation is very serious. Not optimistic. God has the virtue of good life, and I believe that Mr. Ji also has it. At first glance, you are a kind and kind person. If there is surplus food in the family, see, can you let us buy some. "

Ji Huai'en took a closer look at these people for the second time. They all looked haggard and embarrassed, and some of them had mottled frost marks on their faces.

Ji Huai'en said: "What's the matter with him?" He looked at Xun Chi.

"We were entangled by horse thieves. Our young master is good at martial arts. We captured him so that we could escape. The three people following behind are here to rescue him." Although Ji Huai'en is not a jovial person, but he does not squint, his eyes Clear, looks like a gentleman with no evil thoughts.Although people can't be judged by their appearance, it's okay to take a gamble, the worst thing is to sleep in the snow again, and it's not like you haven't slept before.

Hearing Ji Huai'en asking about Xun Chi's situation, Mao Xiaofei won the bet on him.

Ji Huai'en turned his head and told Tang Miao: "Look at them, I'll report to the patriarch."

"Yes." Tang Miao held two swords, not daring to relax at all to block Mao Xiaofei and the others hundreds of meters away from the camp.

"I've talked so much nonsense with him, if he refuses, I'll kill them all." Ye Jintian said darkly.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. We don't have many people now, and one more life is just one. Of course you have the ability to use one as a hundred. Occasionally, you have to think about your subordinates. They all say that you are a good leader behind their backs. "

"You?" Ye Jintian said displeased.

Mao Xiaofei smiled: "Master, Master is done. Thanks to Master today, otherwise I should have died."

"It's good to know." Ye Jintian said.

"Can you stop wanting to kill people all the time." Shu Tong said dissatisfied.

"You want to control me?" Ye Jintian bent down and hugged Shu Tong.

"Who cares about you! I wish you would die soon." Shu Tong whispered with hatred.

"I see your jar of old vinegar, it's time to take it out and drink it." Ye Jintian's eyes lit up, he put his head on Shu Tong's forehead, stared at him, until Shu Tong twisted a few times in embarrassment, and then he straightened up. Standing up, "He's still useful. I'll kill him when it's used up. I won't let him get in your way."

"..." Shu Tong said, "He didn't obstruct my eyes, didn't I tell you not to kill people casually?"

"Who is blocking your eyes?"

"No one but you!"

"Then there's no other way. For the time being, you still have to look at me. I'll let you see me every day. If you think I'm an eyesore, just look at me a few more times. Once you get used to it, it won't be an eyesore." Ye Jintian laughed loudly , grabbed Shu Tong's chin, and forcibly kissed his mouth.

The rows of juvenile soldiers on the opposite side were embarrassed and ugly.

Not long after, Ji Huai'en came out, asked the others to put away their weapons, and led them into the camp of the Wulen tribe.

Ji Huai'en has only one request: "He shouldn't have been allowed in, but since you're only staying for one night and your young master can catch him, please take care of him. If anything goes wrong at night..."

"We'll leave right away!" Mao Xiaofei said quickly, bowing to Ji Huai'en: "Thank you, Mr. Ji."

Ji Huai'en didn't say anything more, and the Wuleng camp was not as lively as in the Black Dragon Gang at night.All were in their stone houses, which had no windows, and it was only from the light by the door that it was not that they were all asleep, but that they were all hiding in the house.

The three horse thieves were not allowed to enter, and they rested outside as well.

The three of Mao Xiaofei and the others lived in a stone house. There were two beds in the room, both of which were covered with a thin layer of velvet grass. It looked thin, but it was extremely soft to lie on.

"This is so comfortable, warm and soft, I can't get up anymore!" Jin Chen rolled on the bed excitedly.

"Come down quickly, take off your wet clothes, there is hot water, I'll fetch some, you've washed your face and feet, you can sleep warmer," Mao Xiaofei said.

"Let me go." Xu Qi pressed Mao Xiaofei's shoulders, and gave him a set of Mao Xiaofei's clothes, "You also stay here and change your clothes. Jin Chen, help your elder brother check for any injuries."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll eat up big brother?" Jin licked his mouth angrily.

"Do you still have strength in your hands and feet?" Xu Qi said lightly.

Jin Chen curled his lips angrily: "When the young master recovers, we will fight again! Eight hundred rounds! One less time will not work!"

Xu Qi looked weird, and went out the door with a little red face.

Before going to bed, the people of the Wuleng made a sumptuous meal and sent it to them.After eating, the strength returned to everyone, washed himself clean, and curled up under the warm blanket.

Mao Xiaofei sighed contentedly.

The lights in the room had already been turned off, Jin Chen said he was afraid of the cold, so he dragged Xu Qi who was about to make the floor to sleep on the bed.

It was very still, no wind, no snow, only the smell of wood and hay in the air.Mao Xiaofei didn't even know how many days he had, and he hadn't lived a life like others.He felt a little uncomfortable suddenly, as if he was being pulled by something.

Fu Dong's child, without him by his side for so many days, did he eat and sleep well? I don't know if Ah Ling only gave him liquid food as ordered. be unable to support.

Also, I don’t know how Mu Canshang is doing. Is his injury healed? Can he get out of bed? After so many days, he should be able to get out of bed. When the official came to find him, maybe he would be taken back, and he would leave Shangqi and go back to Qingxi, thousands of miles away, and Mao Xiaofei would get farther and farther away from him.

Mao Xiaofei took a quick breath.

He forced himself to close his eyes and drive out all the trivial thoughts in his head. It was rare to get a good night's sleep. With an ordinary bed and a shelter from the wind and rain, he should enjoy tonight.
