Be pampered at the Dream Hunting Ground

Through the paper window, Gu Xiaofeng couldn't see what was going on in the room, but suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Gu Xiaofeng followed his instinct, immediately withdrew his hands, and shrank into the darkness beside him.

One Eye was still staring intently at the window.

The person next to him wanted to ask what was wrong with him, but One Eye raised his hand to stop the person from speaking, walked quickly to the window, and pushed it violently.

The windows of this era are all opened upwards, and the outside of the window is unobstructed, as long as the people inside stick their heads out, they can see Gu Xiaofeng outside the window.

Gu Xiaofeng quickly grabbed the eaves above his head and turned over the beam.

When the single eye opened the window, Jianglou on the roof raised his eyes and looked coldly towards the direction of the eaves. There was a cat squatting on the eaves, licking its paws boredly. Looking up to meet a pair of gloomy and icy eyes, a powerful coercion hit it instantly.

The cat let out a 'meow' in fright, and jumped down. At the same time, the window was pushed open. The cat landed not far from the window, looked back at the open window, ran forward with its tail between its legs, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. A dark alley across the street.

The person following One-Eyed sighed, "It's a cat."

Cyclops didn't close the window just then, but poked his head out to look left and right.

But as the vigilance relaxed, the glance became more casual, and he didn't see Gu Xiaofeng who was lying on the eaves above the window.

Seeing no one outside the window with one eye, close the window.

Gu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh of relief lying on the eaves, turned his head and met Jiang Lou who was squatting on the roof.

Jiang Lou tilted his head at him.

Gu Xiaofeng understood, the two of them turned down the roof and left quietly.

They just came to recognize their faces, now that they saw Xiong Si's face, there was no need to stay here and take risks.

They didn't have a clear goal when they went to Fengcun Village, just to see if they could find any clues.

After leaving Xiong Si's residence, he wandered around.

Gu Xiaofeng doesn't know what year this hunting ground is, but judging from the words and deeds of the village chief, it's for dinner here.

Nightlife in ancient times was simple. After dinner, most people cleaned up the dishes, washed up and went to bed after a rest.

Before Xu time, someone had already closed the door and prepared to go to bed.

At this time, the houses were not soundproof. They could hear them talking in the house, and they could hear them talking in the house.

Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou were silent the whole time, did not communicate, wandered aimlessly along the alley, and had no intention of going into the house to chat with people, but they listened to a lot of the various movements and conversations in the house.

The movement of each household in the house is an ordinary day-to-day life, without any conspiracy theories.

If it weren't for Xiong Si who can sell passes, this would be an ordinary village.

But just because it is so ordinary, it looks even more extraordinary.

Although Fengcun Village is not located on a major traffic road, it is definitely not out of reach of the remote mountains and valleys. In the era of wars and chaos, such peace seems particularly abnormal.

Although the situation in the hunting ground cannot be logical, the weird feeling is still lingering.

The two of them walked to the entrance of the village without knowing it.

The laughter of children still came from the alley.

Gu Xiaofeng distinguished the children's voices, there were eleven children.

There was no family planning in ancient times, but it was rare for ordinary people to have eleven children.

Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou walked into the alley at the same time.

The door of the house at the end of the alley is still open, the lights are on in the house, and the figures of children playing and playing are passing by the gate of the yard from time to time.

The villagers with the closed door can't be disturbed, and the door is open, so there is no such concern.

The two walked to the gate of the yard and looked inside.

An ordinary small farmyard with a small yard inside the fence and a well in the middle of the yard.

A woman and three ten-year-old girls were sitting by the well, washing clothes under the dim light, and the other eight or nine young children were running in and out of the door, playing like crazy.

Those children who play like crazy, the youngest are three or four years old, and the oldest are only six or seven years old.

Except for this woman, no other adults were seen.

Naturally, these children, big and small, would not all be born to this woman.

Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou have already walked around the village, many villagers have children.

So it is unlikely that these children are the children of these villagers.

Based on the current background, these children are most likely to be orphans.

Gu Xiaofeng grew up in an orphanage. Although his personality is indifferent, he is still a little moved by his status as an 'orphan'.

He stopped at the door involuntarily, not leaving in a hurry.

From time to time, the children who were playing would run up to the woman and talk to her. The woman always answered with a gentle smile, and raised her hand from time to time to wipe the children's dirty faces.

The woman was in her twenties and was very beautiful, but the dim light could not hide the exhaustion and haggardness on her face.

But even so, she was still very patient with the group of fur children, without the slightest temper.

Another child ran up to the woman. The woman looked up and saw the stranger standing at the door. She hesitated for a moment, stood up, walked towards them, and asked carefully, "Excuse me, what can you do?"

Following the woman's actions, the little girls who were washing clothes by the well all looked up at them.

The children who were playing stopped, and even the children in the house ran to the door and scratched at the door, looking out of the yard, and some of them even took a few steps closer if they were brave enough.

Jiang Lou didn't listen to the woman's words, and looked at the children unscrupulously.

The gentleness on the woman's face receded slightly, replaced by vigilance, and she took a step aside, trying to cover the children in the yard, but Jiang Lou was much taller than her, and she couldn't cover anything at all.

But she looks like she will yell if they do something inappropriate.

Gu Xiaofeng pulled Jiang Lou back, stood in front of Jiang Lou, blocked this guy who didn't care about other people's feelings, smiled gently at the woman, and was about to speak when the voice of the village chief came from behind: "You are here, I looking for you everywhere."

Gu Xiaofeng turned his head and saw the village head and the villager walking over, followed by Shen Fang.

The woman was visibly relieved when she saw the person with the village chief.

The village head glanced at the woman, and asked Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Loudao: "What are you doing here?"

Gu Xiaofeng said: "We were thirsty, and seeing that the door of this family was open, we came here to ask for some water."

Village head: "So that's how it is."

The man in the village said to the woman: "Their village was burned, so they came to ask Xiong Si for help, there is no malice."

The woman glanced at Shen Fang, who was following behind without any sense of presence, and then looked at Jiang Lou and Gu Xiaofeng again, Gu Xiaofeng showed a harmless smile in a timely manner, the woman nodded and said softly: "Wait a minute. "

The tone can't be bad, but it doesn't have the gentleness when talking to the children.

But a lonely woman with a dozen children, suddenly two big men stood at the door, staring straight at the children, this situation is really scary.

It is very polite for people not to beat them out.

The woman walked into the house, and there were already older children who sensiblely came out with a kettle and a bamboo tube for drinking.The woman took two glasses of water, returned to the gate of the courtyard, and handed them to Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou.

Gu Xiaofeng took the water and said, "Thank you." He was beating a small drum in his heart, worried that Jiang Lou would be a clean freak, and would refuse to drink the tea set used by others, so his excuse for begging for water would be missed.

Jiang Lou took the bamboo tube and said, "Thank you." Then he brought the water glass to his lips.

Gu Xiaofeng's hanging heart fell to the ground instantly, he drank the water in one gulp, took the diabolo tube in Jiang Lou's hand, returned it to the woman, and thanked him again.

Then go out of the alley with the village head.

Gu Xiaofeng asked the villagers who led them out of the village: "Why are there so many children in this family?"

The man said: "They are all homeless children."

Jiang Lou, who has always spoken little, answered: "Homeless?" When he asked this question, he bit the words slightly.

The villagers did not hear the difference in Jiang Lou's tone, and said: "Yes, you also escaped here, and you should have seen those children who have no adults outside. Our village chief took pity on those children. When we went out to buy livestock, If you find it, pick it up and keep it.”

Gu Xiaofeng: "Then how many children have to be brought back?"

Villager: "I picked up a lot, but these children usually lack food and clothing. Most of them are in poor health, and some are still sick. There are not many of them who can support them."

Gu Xiaofeng: "With so many children, who will take care of them?"

Villager: "Everyone in the village takes turns to take care of her. Ever since Hui Niang came, Hui Niang has taken care of her."

Gu Xiaofeng: "The girl in the yard just now is called Hui Niang?"

Villager: "Yes."

Gu Xiaofeng: "Isn't she from the village?"

Villager: "She came here as a refugee, and she is somewhat related to Xiong Si, so the village head left her behind."

Gu Xiaofeng: "Oh."

After leaving the village, I saw someone coming in a donkey cart.

They give way to the curb.

The driver was a skinny old man, and there were two children, a boy and a girl, sitting in the car. The older girl was eleven or twelve years old, and the younger boy was eight or nine years old. They were all yellow and thin.

When the old man saw them, he didn't stop. He just nodded to them as a greeting and went to the village.

Then I heard the voice of the villagers who sent them out from the village: "Village chief, have you picked up the child again?"

The village head sighed, and said: "The adults in the family are all starving to death. When their father was about to die, he secretly cut off the meat on his thigh behind their backs, cooked a pot of it, and tricked them into eating it by saying it was rat meat." .Their father was already on the verge of death, and with the injury, he passed away that night. The two children did not starve to death after eating that pot of meat."

When the two children heard the village head mentioning their father, they both choked up.

After hearing this, the villagers also sighed, and asked, "Then send these two children to Hui Niang?"

Village head: "Send it over there, let Hui Niang get them something to eat."

"Understood." The villagers greeted the two children and followed him.

Leaving Feng Village, Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou stopped talking, and the village chief asked Shen Fang if she had exchanged anything.

"I changed something to eat." Shen Fang took out some steamed buns and showed them to the village chief.

On the days of fleeing, what to eat is the most important thing.

Seeing that Shen Fang was able to get food in exchange, the village chief said with relief, "It's pretty good."

Back in the woods, the four of them warmed up around the fire for a while, and then dispersed.

The village head still slept on the donkey cart.

Gu Xiaofeng, Jiang Lou and Shen Fang didn't separate, and built a fire under the tree outside the crowd.

Shen Fang piled up a floor with leaves, while Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou were still sitting side by side on the tree pole.

In the dead of night, talking is easy to be heard.

They didn't know if there were enemies mixed in the crowd, they didn't talk, they took out pens and paper, and exchanged information.

Gu Xiaofeng described Xiong Si's appearance again.

Shen Fang went to more than a dozen families, all of them were normal, the only thing was that there was really no meat, not even a piece of bacon.

Not much information.

Gu Xiaofeng threw the paper into the fire and burned it.

All night.

the next day.

Just like when we entered the hunting ground, the village chief asked people to get up and go on their way as soon as it was dawn.

They are all modern people, most of them are not used to not brushing their teeth in the morning.

Fortunately, there is a small river down the mountain, and the group of people ran to the small river immediately.

The village chief looked at the people running towards Xiaohe, and did not stop them. He waited for about a stick of incense before urging them on their way.

Gu Xiaofeng thinks this NPC is the most humane NPC.

After gargling, the whole person felt comfortable.

Shen Fang took out the steamed buns she exchanged last night, divided two between Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou, took two more to the village chief, and ate the remaining two as she walked.

The village chief didn't take the initiative to ask them for food, but he was very happy to share his share, and then talked a lot.

Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou no longer fell last, but walked beside the donkey cart, listening to the village chief's words.

The village chief said that the owner of Sifang City was named Chen.

He was a well-known general in the dynasty and made countless military exploits.

Sifang City is a city where the prince asks for merit from the sage and rewards the general.

Gu Xiaofeng glanced at the corpses by the roadside, and thought to himself, if so many people died by the roadside, this sage might not be a faint king.

In this world, if the prince can still let the emperor seal the city for the generals, I'm afraid it won't be any better.

But their destination is Sifang City, the behavior of the emperor and prince has nothing to do with him.

Shen Fang asked: "Village Chief, we have arrived at Sifang City, what should we do next?"

Village head: "One step at a time is one step at a time."

The weather was quite cool last night, but today's sun is scorching hot and scorching.

The further you go, the more bones there are on the side of the road.

There is no longer a hill to rest like yesterday.

If you want to rest, you can only sit on the side of the road.

Relying on the pile of dead people, no one would want to eat, take a rest casually, and continue on their way. Even if they are exhausted, they don't want to stay longer.

After this day, some people gradually began to lose their strength.

The village chief looked at the gray shadow of the city in the distance, and said, "We're almost there."

Knowing that the front may be a tiger's lair and a wolf's den, but the phrase 'coming soon' still cheered everyone up.

Even Gu Xiaofeng had more expectations.

Arrive at the place earlier, break through the formation earlier, and be able to go out earlier.

Gu Xiaofeng looked around, there was a faint shadow of a hillside on the right hand side, and a big tree stood on the hillside.

It's that painting!

Gu Xiaofeng's heart tightened slightly.

Turning his head, he saw that Jiang Lou was also looking in the direction of the hillside.

Gu Xiaofeng pointed to the hillside, and asked the village chief: "Village chief, what is that place?"

The village chief sat on the donkey cart, looked in the direction Gu Xiaofeng pointed, and said, "Banlipo."

Gu Xiaofeng: "Did a lot of people die over there?"

Village head: "In this world, there are many people who haven't died."

Gu Xiaofeng: "I didn't die from starvation, but from fighting."

Village head: "That's impossible."

Gu Xiaofeng: "Why?"

Village head: "Banlipo leads to the east gate of Sifang City. Behind it is a cliff. There is only a suspension bridge connecting the two sides. If someone attacks and cuts down the suspension bridge, no one will be able to pass. If Banlipo dies in battle, Sifang City will also be broken."

Gu Xiaofeng: "Oh."

So does that painting imply that Sifang City will be broken?

So what is this hunting ground for?

Stop the city from breaking?

They had already seen Sifang City, but it was actually far away, and it was already an hour later when they reached the city.

Looking at the sky that was getting dark, the village head let out a sigh of relief: "Finally arrived before dark."

Gu Xiaofeng looked at the huge city gate and the tens of meters high city wall above his head.

Sifang City, as its name suggests, is square and square, with extremely high walls and looks as solid as gold.

I don't know how the city was broken.

The earrings that had settled down all the way started to make noise again, and the buzzing made his earlobes warm.

Gu Xiaofeng pinched the earrings, but the earrings still refused to settle down.

Jiang Lou looked down at him for a while, raised his hand, stroked his earlobe lightly twice, and whispered, "What's going on again?" in a loving voice.

Gu Xiaofeng turned his head to look at Jiang Lou.

Jiang Lou's voice was so inconsistent with his usual cold appearance that Shen Fang, who was walking in front, heard it and turned her head to look.

Gu Xiaofeng could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

Earring seemed to understand Jiang Lou's words, and settled down again.

Gu Xiaofeng: "..."

How does it feel, Jiang Lou installed a controllable thing on him.

The village head counted the number of people, and told everyone to keep up, not to get separated, and then led them to the city gate.

The gate guard stopped them.

The village chief took out the pass and handed it over.

The guard checked the passing order, then counted the number of people, and it matched the number of people on the passing order. He waved to his colleagues on the tower, opened half of the city gate, and let them in.

The village chief entered the door, and the guards inside gave him a sign and a map: "You guys go here to spend the night, don't wander around."

The village chief took the sign and map and thanked them.

Gu Xiaofeng entered the door and asked the village chief: "What will happen if the number is wrong?"

Village head: "We can't even get in."

Gu Xiaofeng: "What if someone couldn't hold on and died on the road."

Village head: "Then you have to bring a token."

Gu Xiaofeng: "What token?"

Village head: "Head."

Gu Xiaofeng's scalp tingled when he thought about the scene where the village chief didn't see Jiang Lou.

The city gate closed behind him with a bang.

The village chief looked back and asked, "Have you all come in?"

Everyone responded: "All come in."

Village Chief: "Then let's go."

They followed the map and went to the west corner of the city.

Here is a small forest with some sheds set up in the forest.

Outside the woods, there were officers and soldiers guarding them, apparently to prevent the enemy from mixing in the refugees and causing trouble after they entered the city.

The leader checked the sign issued to the village head by the guards, pointed to a few officers and soldiers guarding the big wooden barrel, and said: "You can get food here, but only for three days." After speaking, he let them go into the woods.

After entering the woods, the village head gathered everyone together, saying that he had fulfilled the responsibility of the village head by bringing everyone into the city.

In a word, break up.

Everyone understands that this NPC mission is completed, and the next thing is their battlefield.

In this kind of place, no one wants to act alone.

After two days of contact, those who can form a team have basically formed together, and those who are not popular will be forced to form a team based on their popularity.

There is a young man named Ji Xuan who has the best popularity.

When it comes to forming a team, there are eight or nine people who want to form a team with him.

Ji Xuan is really good at being a person, no matter who it is, he will not object to joining his group.

In less than a few minutes, his team had twelve members.

Those who entered the hunting grounds, because of their fear of the hunting grounds, avoided NPCs whenever they could, except for Gu Xiaofeng and the three who followed the village head all day long.

During the past two days on the road, the three of them have spoken to the village chief. Although they will not take the initiative to pass it on, they will not hide it. Anyone can listen.

Judging from the situation along the way, except for the trip to Fengxiang Village, they don't know much more than others.

Based on this, everyone felt that they were good people.

Therefore, when automatically forming a team, someone saw that there were only three of them, so they came over and invited them to join.

Those who came to invite them to join included Ji Xuan.

Shen Fang is a woman, and women are inherently vulnerable in a dangerous environment.

In this kind of place, no one is willing to add teammates who are not very useful and may need to be protected by themselves.

Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou have been in a good state of mind along the way, which shows that these two people are quite good physically.

Therefore, their goal of attracting people was first on Gu Xiaofeng and Jiang Lou.

Jiang Lou was very seldom talkative, with a straight face from the beginning to the end, his eyes were so cold that there was no heating at all, just looking at someone could make people shiver, and his whole body showed that strangers should not get close to him.

He doesn't care about people, but has a good relationship with handsome boys.

Ji Xuan walked towards Gu Xiaofeng: "Do you three want to be together?"

In his opinion, as long as Gu Xiaofeng joins the team, Jiang Lou will definitely join. Although Shen Fang is weaker, having these two people should be able to make up for Shen Fang's shortcomings.

And Shen Fang is not useless, she has a good mouth, which should come in handy when inquiring about news.

The main purpose of the righteous people entering the hunting ground is to find out the reasons for the formation of the hunting ground and find out the way to finally eliminate the hunting ground. Saving people is not within the scope of the task.

But they are public officials after all, if they can bring more people out, they will bring more people out.

So from the standpoint of Gu Xiaofeng and Shen Fang, forming a team with people and putting people where they can see them is a good choice.

And at the right time, these people can be restrained to prevent some people from messing around and making the situation in the hunting ground even worse.

But Jiang Lou is not a righteous person, he cannot make decisions for Jiang Lou.

Gu Xiaofeng didn't answer directly, but looked at Jiang Lou and asked, "Do you want to join them?"

Jiang Lou didn't look at Ji Xuan and those people, but looked ahead and asked casually, "Do you want to join?"

Gu Xiaofeng looked in the direction Jiang Lou was looking at, there was a bulletin board in front, it was too far away, and it was getting dark, so the visibility was not good, so he could barely see a notice posted on the bulletin board.

Nothing on the notice was visible.

Said: "Look at you."

The author has something to say: Jiang Lou: Wife decides.
