Chapter 29 No Chilian in the Village

Qilian Village is not full of elegant lotus flowers worthy of the name. On the contrary, not even a lotus leaf or even a lotus pod can be seen.

This place is as common as an ordinary village - the thatched houses are scattered and connected. Nothing special.Except for the stone tablet engraved with the name of the village standing at the entrance of the village.

But seeing the stone tablet, it is pitch black and shiny, not like ordinary stone, and the two characters engraved on the tablet are also beautiful, tendon and willow bones.It's just that the dark reddish purple color on the handwriting completely covered up its cleanliness and dustiness, revealing a sense of ominousness.

Inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gu An also observing the stele, Li Muge looked away calmly but met him on the way, turned their heads away in embarrassment, and at the same time pretended to turn a blind eye to this tacit understanding.

At this time, a seven or eight-year-old boy ran over shouting "Sister, sister", Chunhua in Li Muge's arms immediately smiled and called back: "Brother."

Seeing that Li Muge was covered in blood, and the older sister behind her was also covered in blood, the little boy ran over and beat him up, shouting, "What did you do to my older sister?"

Li Muge looked at the little fists that fell like raindrops, and had no choice but to smile bitterly, so An Ze was happy to gloat at the side.

Chunhua hurriedly got off Li Muge's back, grabbed her younger brother and reprimanded her in a low voice: "Brother, don't be rude, this son is not a bad person, he is my sister's savior." When the word "sone" was mentioned, Her pretty face blushed.

The little boy immediately became a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and slipped away to hide behind his sister, not daring to raise his eyes.

At this time, Chunhua's parents also ran over, and seeing their daughter covered in blood, they immediately turned pale and said incoherently: "My child... my child... what is this, what is this?"

Seeing this, Chunhua hurriedly took her parents to explain what had happened, but deliberately ignored the link of "going out of the village", and only said that she was attacked by a giant python she met while stepping on flowers near the entrance of the village.

"Then your feet?" The second elder looked worried when he saw his daughter unable to stand up.

At this time, Li Muge stepped forward with a smile on his face and comforted him: "Don't worry, you two old people. I have already seen it. Chunhua's ankle is just temporarily blocked and unable to walk. As long as it is massaged and rested, it will be cured in a few days."

After hearing this, the second elder was shocked, and at the same time, he worriedly checked his daughter from top to bottom, lest she might be hurt.

At this time, the two old people hurriedly invited the two "saviors" in front of them to their home to express their gratitude.Originally, the two of them wanted to decline politely, but firstly because the kindness was hard to refuse, and secondly, it was getting late, so they agreed.

At this time, more and more villagers came and went, but they all just wandered around and no one came forward to make inquiries that should be made among neighbors.

Gu An silently took a panoramic view of all this, and followed Li Muge into Chunhua's house calmly.

That night, Chunhua's parents slaughtered chickens and pigs to entertain Li and Gu in gratitude for their kindness in saving their daughter's life.When talking about the "giant python", Chunhua's father mused to Jiufu for a long time, took a puff of dry cigarettes, and said thoughtfully: "The facts you two and my little girl said are unbelievable, if I live I have never seen such a huge strange python at such a young age, and it is still red all over, it is really strange, strange."

"It's very strange. Haven't any weird things happened in the village in recent years? Maybe there is some connection in the dark." Li Muge drank the contents of the cup in one gulp. He always drinks more and more. wide awake.

Xiang Jiufu chuckled, knocked the cigarette bag in his hand and said affirmatively: "The village has always been peaceful, and there has never been any strange things."

"Then why does Xiaobao always hear some strange noises at night?" Chunhua's younger brother muttered in a low voice while chewing his food.

Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone present could understand what he meant.

"Kids are talking nonsense, so why can't you hear your sister, your mother, and your father?" Xiang Jiufu yelled at Xiang Xiaobao, knocking on the cigarette pipe and pot.

Xiang Xiaobao flinched, and quickly hid behind her sister.

"Xiaobao, don't talk nonsense, we live in the mountains, it's normal to hear some strange noises at night, there are so many wild animals and raptors in the mountains." Chunhua persuaded her younger brother softly.

"It's clearly a human voice, I can tell it apart!"

"You little bastard, look at me..." Before Xiang Jiufu's cigarette pouch was thrown at him, Xiang Xiaobao had already run away without a trace.Putting back the cigarette pouch embarrassingly, he smiled and said to Jiu Fu: "The dog has no shape, I made the two of you laugh."

Li Muge smiled: "Tong Yan Wuji, very cute."

Gu An tasted all the dishes, and all the wine was ordered. At this time, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Although the children's words are not taboo, they are not false. Children's six roots are pure, and they hear things that we adults can't hear." The voice is also normal."

Sweeping his gaze at the faces of the Xiang family and his wife, he continued: "Although the old man said that the village has always been peaceful, I have heard that Qilian Village prohibits the villagers from leaving the village, so it doesn't seem very peaceful. "

Glaring at Chunhua secretly, Xiang Jiufu took a puff of dry smoke, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The prohibition of leaving the village is a rule handed down from our ancestors. Back then, our ancestors came to this poor village to rebuild their home in order to avoid the war, and they were already discouraged by the outside world. Feeling cold, that's why we set up rules to prevent future generations from going outside to suffer."

"I don't know which dynasty or generation your ancestors avoided the chaos of war?" Li Muge poured out the jug and found that there was only one drop left.

Xiang Jiufu didn't expect him to ask this question, so he hurriedly dismissed the question vaguely because of the wine.Li Muge didn't ask any further questions. He took the new wine and began to drink it for himself. He just said indifferently: "Although you said that the village has always been peaceful, but now such strange things happen to be considered hidden dangers. The village should take more precautions just in case."

Hearing the words, Xiang Jiufu just nodded and didn't say anything else, but his face was obviously not very good-looking, and he lost all the enthusiasm he had at the beginning.At this embarrassing moment, a person suddenly walked in from the door, and I saw that person was wearing a black robe with a belt fluttering, and the sharp-edged facial contour gradually became clear as the footsteps approached.

When he was fully in the sight of everyone, Li Muge could only say that he had an impressive face, and he was an unforgettable person.

A pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes are embedded in a handsome facial features like sculptures, which does not appear to be inconsistent at all.On the contrary, it perfectly blends an innate dignity with uncertain depth.

After seeing that face clearly, Gu An lowered his head calmly.

Recently, it's true that life doesn't meet each other!

"General Li?" After recognizing the person, Xiang Jiufu, who was still sullen just now, immediately put on a happy smile and greeted him: "General, why are you here so late, please come in, please come in, Damn Chunhua, hurry up and prepare the seats."

"I heard that something happened at your home today, so I came here to take a look. I'm sorry for disturbing General Ben." The end of his eyes lightly followed Li and Gu, and the young man in black flicked his robe, and sat at the head of the room as if no one else was there.

"Don't bother, don't bother, anyway, our meal is about to end anyway." Xiang Jiufu secretly winked at Li Muge and Gu An, but he didn't expect the former to pretend not to see them and still eat and drink, while the latter But it seems to have seen it and it seems not to see it, and it is still chewing slowly.

When Xiang Jiufu saw this, he was angry and panicked, and hurriedly urged: "Young masters, you have to leave the village early tomorrow, why don't you go to see the house with my wife first, and arrange it in time if there is anything wrong, so as to save money. When you get it, your rest time will be delayed."

Li Muge smiled casually, and shook his folding fan lightly: "Don't delay, don't delay, we haven't enjoyed the good wine and food, not to mention that our two brothers don't plan to leave tomorrow."

Glaring at Li Muge fiercely, he gritted his teeth and said to Jiufu, "There are rules in the village that no outsiders are allowed. It is an exception to keep you here today. You have to leave tomorrow morning. I hope you two don't make it difficult for me."

"Then why can he stay? I don't think he looks like a villager." The folding fan made a circle among Li Mu's singers, and finally pointed at the young man in black sitting upright.

"Bold and presumptuous, General Li is a majestic official of the imperial court, of course he is not comparable to you and other pariahs." Xiang Jiufu was almost blown away by Li Muge's anger, so his tone became extremely harsh.But for some reason, there was more panic and fear hidden in his anger.

"Oh? What official in which country? There are so many imperial courts today, and you have been reclusive for a long time. Can you tell which country you belong to?" Li Muge was still relentless, so An Ze kept watching from the sidelines. Word.

"Guo Xi, General Zhen Guo, Li Wuming." At this moment, the young man in black suddenly spoke, every word and sentence was forceful.

Hearing this, Li Muge raised his left eyebrow lightly, he didn't know what to say after confronting for a long time, so he could only laugh out loud.

Shouldn't he be laughing?Isn't this ridiculous?

"Li Wuming" who made him die and chased him into a panic was actually sitting in front of him at this moment, "introducing himself" to him as if meeting him for the first time, whether he was crazy or "Li Wuming" was crazy.What's more... After stopping the laughter, Li Muge narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but Gu An kicked him under the table.

"My brother is arrogant by nature, if he behaves improperly, please look at General Haihan." Gu An raised his hands, and finally raised his head at this moment, and smiled apologetically at "Wuming Li".

"Li Wuming" only noticed Gu An at this time.Looking at that smile, that face, for some reason, there is an indescribable familiarity in my heart.

At this time, he suddenly crossed the dining table, slightly opened his five fingers, and grabbed the opposite Gu An with lightning speed.

Seeing this, Gu An immediately pushed his hands to the edge of the table and kicked his feet, using his strength to bounce his body away.At the same time, Kan Kan dodged a blow to the face by flipping back in mid-air with the man and the chair.

"Li Wuming" stopped his hand before he could get a blow, and stood still like a mountain, but his sharp eyes like a falcon caught Gu An fiercely, and he didn't miss a single bit from beginning to end.

Although everyone in the room felt strange seeing this scene, no one said anything, and they all waited quietly without daring to take a breath.

At this time, Li Muge couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to make an attack but was blocked by Gu An.

I saw that Gu An had neither the anger of being attacked for no reason, nor the slight disgust of being scrutinized inexplicably. Instead, he approached a few steps with utmost cooperation, and also turned around a few times so that the other party could observe more carefully.

Li Muge's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't expect Gu An to have such a "surprising" side, and he couldn't help complaining loudly in his heart: the greatness of power!

"Li Wuming" looked at Gu An's cooperation without saying a word, the sense of familiarity that surged up just now suddenly receded like a tide, leaving only a desolate shoal in his heart.

Such a boring face, such a person without integrity, how could it be him?How could he deserve to be recognized as him?

What's more, that dark and hoarse voice was so ugly that it sounded like an old crow, so how could it remind him of him?

That person is obviously the bright moon in the sky, even if he falls into the mortal world, he is still the snow on the holy mountain, he will never be so vulgar!

What's more, that person's martial arts has long been abolished by the "Xianyun Qiheyin", and it is absolutely impossible to use the slightest internal force.And the person in front of him is obviously a master!

Although this time he left the country, he followed the news of "Gu Yanxi" all the way, but he only came to this village because he had other important things to do.

The deliberate pursuit has returned in vain. Could it be that the unintentional chance can make a dream come true?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a bit of bitterness in his heart—a bitterness that was too thick to dissolve, too bitter to be expressed.

At this time, he decisively moved his eyes away from Gu An's face, turned his head to Jiu Fu and said indifferently: "I came here tonight because I have something to explain to you, and get rid of other irrelevant people."

As soon as these words came out, the meaning of chasing guests was very obvious.

Li Muge and Gu An are not ignorant of current affairs, and they don't want to cause any more trouble.So he hurriedly "pick up the stairs" and left Xiang Jiufu's house.

Seeing this, Xiang Chunhua quietly followed behind and arranged a place for them.

Li Muge looked at the residence arranged by Chunhua, and his eyes immediately became a little strange: first surprised, then overjoyed.Immediately afterwards, a meaningful smile was quickly tainted, and at the same time, there was a bit of out-and-out gloating in that smile.

Glancing at Gu An secretly, he pretended to be ignorant and said to Chunhua: "Xiao Chunhua, this room is not bad, so I let my old brother live in it. I live in another room."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out, but was grabbed by Chunhua as expected.

I saw Chunhua bowed her head, stammering with embarrassment: "Li...Li Gongzi, I'm sorry, the house is crowded, and the extra room is... just one room. Wronged... I have wronged you two young masters."

Seeing this, Li Muge immediately grabbed Chunhua's hand, and said gratefully, "Chunhua, it's very good that you can arrange a shelter for us, and it's too late for us to thank you." At this time, he turned to Gu'an and asked: " Right? Old brother?"

Although Gu An's complexion is not very good-looking, it is impossible to embarrass a little girl.So I just nodded and said "hmm".

Li Muge saw that he had successfully forced Gu An to the point where he wanted to get mad and was ashamed to get mad, so he hurriedly coaxed Xiang Chunhua away, making it impossible for the matter of "living in the same room" to be reversed.

After Xiang Chunhua left, he immediately lay down on the bed in a large font, and said helplessly: "Old brother, I didn't expect that we would fall asleep together again soon, so you just let it go. "

At this time, he looked up at the other person's face, neither anger, resentment, nor joy... He could only pretend to be nonchalant, and his heart was about to burst into laughter.But keep a calm face.

Gu An glanced at him contemptuously. Didn't he know that this man has always been "human-faced and animal-hearted"—pretending to be serious on the surface, but he might be thinking of something in his heart.

So he left a sentence: "I don't like to make ends meet" and opened the door to leave.
