Woke up and found myself a legend

Chen Gui's house is very big. Three three-story stone houses stand in the courtyard. The solid stone walls are towering, enclosing a huge courtyard, which is still more than enough to park a carriage.This kind of stone house is also somewhat special and conspicuous among the stone houses in Yuebei Village. It looks like the stone house that belongs to the head of Yuebei Village.

Fan Hongxi carried Tao Yu into the outer door, raised his head to look at the solid and heavy stone house in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm sorry."

Chen Gui shook his head, staring at Mingfeng and the others, after they led the Qingmane Liuyun carriage into the courtyard, they quickly closed the heavy wooden door with a "boom", and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Yu raised his head and looked around, tsk, there is nothing delicious in this kind of place.Not only this place, but there is nothing delicious in the entire formation.

He curled up in Fan Hongxi's arms disinterestedly, and yawned lazily.

Chen Gui wiped the wet sweat from his forehead, and said with lingering fear: "Okay, now we are safer."

Qingyu was a little strange, and asked, "Can't that kind of monster easily jump onto the roof? It's safe in the yard?"

Resentment flashed in Chen Gui's eyes, and he explained: "That beast is taking pleasure in torturing us, how could he kill us so easily? Those monsters are manipulated by him, and they usually don't enter the yard."

Just now when Chen Gui and the others were on their way, they just wanted to go back to their own homes. Now he noticed the carriage that Mingfeng was leading to the side of the courtyard. He couldn't help but take a second look and said enviously: " Master Xianchang’s carriage is really extraordinary.”

Fan Hongxi: "Brother Chen is ridiculous."

The people in the room heard the movement of the courtyard, and in the dark doorway, a middle-aged woman who was also thin and stooped held a candle lamp stand and poked her head out, looking at them with some doubts and confusion.

Chen Gui raised his voice and shouted: "Master Xianchang is here, hurry up and cook!"

The woman was stunned, and then a trace of disbelief and joy appeared on her face, she nodded quickly, and then went back to the house, a faint sound came from the house, and cooking smoke rose from the back of the stone house.

Chen Gui cupped his hands over to Fan Hongxi and the others, and said in a low voice: "Just kidding, that's my mother-in-law, and there is a girl at home. But now there is nothing left to eat at home, please forgive me, Master Xianchang."

Fan Hongxi hugged Tao Yu and bowed slightly in return, and said with a peaceful smile, "It's okay, I'm the one who bothered you."

The stone house was also very dark, Chen Gui quickly lit a candle and put it on the big wooden table, and said courteously: "Please sit down, the food will be ready soon."

Fan Hongxi and his group sat down at the wooden table one after another. Tao Yu suddenly felt a gaze. He raised his eyelids and turned his head to look, only to see a head protruding out, a pair of black eyes quietly looking curiously at him from the inner door. Stare at him.When he caught his gaze, he was startled, and shrank back.

Fan Hongxi also noticed this gaze, and Chen Gui quickly explained: "That's my girl, she is very shy, please forgive me, Master Xianchang."

It's just a little girl, Tao Yu doesn't care.He moved in Fan Hongxi's arms, gave a soft meow, closed his eyes, and was gently stroked by Fan Hongxi's warm and slender hands on his back.

Chen Gui's eyes could not help falling on Tao Yu, he couldn't help looking and looking, hesitated to speak, and finally said dryly: "Master Xianchang actually likes snow cats, but I have never seen snow cats before. There is a red pattern on the cat's forehead, the snow cat of Master Xianchang is really different."

Fan Hongxi smiled lightly, but he didn't want to explain, he just asked with a smile: "Brother Chen is the village head of Yuebei Village?"

Chen Gui's face darkened when he heard the words, and the middle-aged man's face was full of vicissitudes under the candlelight. He shook his head and said, "No, the village head is my cousin. My cousin's family has been tortured to death by that beast. My grandfather came from Yuebei Village. I left to go out and work hard, and I didn’t live in Yuebei Village. It’s a pity that my grandfather was not happy at the beginning. After my parents died unexpectedly, my grandfather fell into a slump. Later, when my grandfather got old, he missed Yuebei Village. We moved back 12 years ago. My grandfather passed away Afterwards, we have been staying at my cousin’s house. There used to be such a big family here, but now there are only three of us living here.”

Fan Hongxi: "What's the situation in the village now?"

Chen Gui sighed deeply: "Most of the people in Yuebei Village are already dead, and there are fewer and fewer people alive. Only our group of people are left to hold on. The few people who came out before were unwilling to accept their fate. Tunnels were secretly dug in the house to connect with each other, so we can communicate with each other, and we can hide in the tunnels if there is something to do... But more people think that it is impossible for us to be rescued, they don't trust us, and they are unwilling to dig tunnels together ...But now that we have waited for Master Xianchang, we can finally be saved!"

Tao Yu shook his sharp ears, digging a tunnel?It turns out that those hollow passages under the ground are tunnels.

But in this big formation, the human being who is the eye of the formation can be said to be almost omniscient.They seemed to be digging the tunnel quietly, but they were actually seen by the human being.However, he did not stop them, allowing these humans to struggle in vain... Tsk tsk, what a joke.

Fan Hongxi continued to ask: "Then why did the evil cultivators suddenly do such evil things?"

Chen Gui shook his head resentfully: "I'm not familiar with that little beast, and I haven't had much contact with him before. But as far as I know, people in the village have never treated him badly. If it wasn't for Yuebei Village, he might have died in the wild. When he survived by chance, who fed him and clothed him? But I never expected that there would be such an ungrateful beast in the world!"

While talking, the middle-aged woman served several plates of wilted vegetables, braised potatoes, fried bacon, and a full plate of rice, and then quietly went back to the inner room to eat with her daughter.

Tao Yu looked up at the food on the table, then lay on Fan Hongxi's lap disinterestedly, flicking his fluffy tail.

Chen Gui stopped talking, took out a wine jar from the corner of the room, and asked, "Do you want to drink a bowl?"

Fan Hongxi declined, and Mingfeng and the others refused to drink, so Chen Gui poured himself a bowl and swallowed down, his expression somewhat relaxed and relieved.

The dishes in front of him were bland and rough, but Fan Hongxi looked calm and peaceful.Although he began to fast after the establishment of the foundation, he still took a bite of the rice and found that although the color of the dish was bland, the rice was very fragrant and soft.He couldn't help but think of what was written in the previous book that the rice produced in the Cangming Northern Territory was of very high quality, and it was one of the main sources of income for the Northern Territory.

He picked up the other pair of chopsticks, put a ball of rice in Tao Yu's mouth and shook it. Tao Yu looked up, bit the chopsticks with a groan, and almost swallowed the chopsticks along the way.

Fan Hongxi pulled out the rough wooden chopsticks before he spit out the tip of the chopsticks.

Tao Yu flicked his tail, thinking that the taste of the rice was so-so.

Chen Gui picked up a piece of hard bacon and ate a big mouthful of rice, and smiled wryly: "It's been more than three months, if it weren't for the rice and the stored miscellaneous grains that were collected and waited to be shipped out, we would not be able to survive."

Ming Feng frowned slightly, and asked: "Since you have all this rice, why did the three of you risk going out?"

Chen Gui sighed: "If you only have rice and miscellaneous grains, you will eventually get tired of eating them. We are okay, but Dongzi and the others are hunters, and there is not much other food in the family. Even with our help, how can a man in his prime eat well?" Full? Besides, so many things have happened, everyone in the village doesn’t trust each other, and they also go out to try their luck, to see if they can dig more food to go home.”

Fan Hongxi frowned slightly, are they all hunters?Even among the five people following Chen Gui, there were three people dressed as Orion.Most of the villages in the northern region make a living by planting rice. Even though Yuebei Village is surrounded by mountains, the number of hunters seems to be too much...

Fan Hongxi lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then put down his wooden chopsticks and continued to ask: "The evil cultivators told you to kill each other, what exactly is it?"

Chen Gui was silent for a moment, then poured himself another bowl and swallowed it down.The dim candlelight flickered, reflecting his slightly aged face dimly.

"The person you saved was called Chen Dong, that is, Dongzi. After that beast did something terrible to turn Yuebei Village into the hell it is today, Dongzi's son Xiaoqing secretly followed other hunters to escape. I went out to ask for help, but found Xiaoqing's body thrown at the door. At that time, Dongzi's mother-in-law, Xu Niang, went crazy. Later, the beast caught Dongzi and Xu Niang together, and it is said that they were asked to choose one of the two. , only one can go back alive... Later, only Dongzi came back by himself, and he also became a little crazy..."

He put the bowl back on the wooden table with a "snap", and said in a sad tone, "There are Shanzi's family and Yinghua's family. They were in-laws who were close enough to wear a pair of trousers. His son, Cai, was arrested and asked Yinghua to exchange it with another person. Yinghua was dazed for a while, and tricked Shanzi's wife out, and exchanged Cai back. Later, Shanzi found out and picked up the firewood The knife rushed into Yinghua's house and killed Yinghua's family, and then rushed out of the village and never came back... Besides, there are many successful and unsuccessful ones. A big family that is close, it turns out..."

An unspeakable silence enveloped the entire stone house. Fan Hongxi closed his eyes with a calm expression.Bi Lan showed an unbearable expression, and said softly, "My condolences."

Chen Gui twitched the corners of his mouth, and laughed at himself, "Why do I feel sorry for you? It's enough to be alive. You must have seen that tombstone when you came in from the entrance of the village in the south? As long as you don't become that board, it's better than that." Everything is strong."

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed his wrinkled face vigorously, raised his chopsticks and said, "Master Xianchang, eat quickly, it will be cold later."

As soon as those tombstones were mentioned, Qingzhu couldn't help but asked softly: "Dare to ask Brother Chen, why is there such a big gap between the thatched houses on the outskirts of Yuebei Village and the stone houses in the center of the village?"

Chen Gui paused, and then said as a matter of course: "There are rich and poor people, and it's normal for there to be a little difference."

After finishing speaking, he didn't make any noise, and just ate in silence, and Fan Hongxi and the others didn't ask any more questions.

After eating quietly, Chen Gui led them to the stone house on the left with a candle lamp stand, and whispered earnestly as he walked: "Master Xianchang, only our family lives here now, so the other empty rooms are left behind." Please forgive me. I have asked my mother-in-law to clean all the rooms on the first floor. Master Xianchang can choose a room to live in at will, and put bedding and the like in the cabinet of the room. If you need anything else, feel free to You can find me in the main house."

He led them into the stone house, lit a candlestick in the spacious hall, bowed to them, and turned back to the main house.
