Chapter 53 Weird Village (Xie Wei Fat and then kill and reward)

In the mountains, Liu Qi and others walked along the path and finally climbed to the top of the mountain at noon. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, they saw a secluded valley under the mountain. A stream just passed through the secluded valley, and 30 or 40 houses were scattered on both sides of the stream.

Seeing that there was a house, Liu Qi, Gan Ning and Wang Yi were relieved, and a smile appeared on their faces. The soldiers also shouted with joy.

"Let's go. Go down early and ask where this place is?" Liu Qi said and walked down the mountain first, and Gan Ning and Wang Yi followed closely. The soldiers were happy for a long time and finally calmed down and followed Liu Qi closely.

Going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain, and the road gradually becomes wider as you go down the mountain. From time to time, several flowers appear on both sides of the road, which look like they are specially planted.

Two hours later, more than a thousand people of Liu Qi and his party have appeared at the foot of the mountain. The shouts of the soldiers on the mountain just now have already shocked the people in the village. At this time, they all gathered outside the village and looked at Liu Qi and others curiously.

Gan Ning took a look at Liu Qi and stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone in charge in your village?"

Not long after, an old man of sixty or seventy came out and came to Gan Ning and said, "The old man is the head of this village. Do you dare to ask who you are?"

Gan Ning bowed to the old man and said, "I have seen the elder. Our son got lost in the mountain because he was chasing a deer when he went hunting. We walked around the mountain for a few days and occasionally saw the path on the mountain and walked down the road. Dare to ask the elders, where is this place? Do you belong to He County again?

The old man looked at Liu Qi and said, "This is Qinghe Village, the most remote village in Yuzhang County. Maybe the people outside have forgotten us?"

Gan Ning made a series to the old man again and then returned to Liu Qi and said, "Son, they said that this place belongs to Yuzhang County, and it seems that they have broken off contact with the outside world."

Yuzhang County is also the county close to You County. I didn't expect that it was still in Yuzhang County after two days in the mountains. Is it still in place? Liu Qi was a little suspicious.

Liu Qi took a few steps forward and came to the old man and said, "Is there a way to other places in the old man's village?" What Liu Qi wants to know most now is whether there are any other roads to the outside in this village. He doesn't want to be trapped in this deep mountain.

The old man took a look at Liu Qi and said, "The road to the outside world here is the way you came." The old man pointed to the mountain road that Liu Qi had just walked.

Liu Qi asked, "What about the other way?"

The old man pointed to the stream in the village and said, "The other road is the stream in the village."

Liu Qi looked at the one in the village who could only cross his knees and said, "The elder laughed. How does this stream lead to the outside world?"

The old man smiled and said, "As long as you hold a raft, you can follow the stream to the outside."

Liu Qi suddenly realized and said to the old man, "Thank you, elder."

The old man waved his hand with a smile and said, "I'm afraid there are not many polite children like you now."

Liu Qi hurriedly said, "The elder is wrong."

The old man said to Liu Qi, "What kind of elder is not the elder? The people in the village call me Mr. Xu. If you don't dislike it, just call it with them."

Liu Qi followed and said, "Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Now the soldiers outside are in chaos. Who cares about those etiquette? Although I don't know who you are? But you can have such good etiquette, which shows that your teachers are extraordinary. These guards are powerful but also know etiquette. I really can't think of anyone like you in these troubled times?

Liu Qi saw Mr. Xu talking outside and said, "Mr. Xu knows what's going on outside?"

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "We have only moved to this mountain for more than 20 years. Besides, I have an old friend who often comes here to collect medicine. Every time he comes, he will tell me about the outside."

Liu Qi looked around and saw that the environment here was quiet, and the flowing water couldn't help saying, "It's really a paradise. It's good to live here for a lifetime."

The old man smiled and didn't say anything. At this moment, a teenager in his teen ran over and looked at Liu Qi curiously and said, "Are you from outside?"

Liu Qi nodded and said, "Well, I'm from outside."

The teenager looked at Liu Qi's eyes and said, "Can you take me out?"

Liu Qi thought he was just jogging, so he said, "The soldiers outside are in a mess. What are you doing out as a child?"

The teenager was distressed and said, "The village is so big that I've had enough fun. I heard that there are a lot of fun outside."

Liu Qi touched the teenager's head and said, "It's messy outside. It's dangerous for you to go out as a child." But I sympathize with him in my heart. Although there is no trouble from the outside world, there is no wonderful life in this small mountain village. Maybe this is just a good place for retirement.

The teenager looked at Liu Qi and said, "I've learned martial arts. If you don't believe it, ask Mr. Xu." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu kindly patted the teenager's head and smiled, "That's good. The teenager in our village has been practicing martial arts since he was five years old."

Liu Qi was shocked. Since he began to practice martial arts at the age of five, doesn't it mean that people in this village can do martial arts, and their martial arts are extraordinary. Looking at Mr. Xu, since Liu Qi appeared, they have not worried about Liu Qi's bad intentions at all, and they have lived safely in the deep mountains for decades and have not been disturbed by fierce beasts. Now it seems that this village is not He doesn't have the power to protect himself as he thought.

Mr. Xu looked at Liu Qi's reaction and didn't say anything.

Liu Qi said, "I've been in the mountains for a few days. I don't know if I can rest in the village for a few days." The first thing to do when you go outside is to refresh yourself. Liu Qi and others haven't slept well for three or four days.

Mr. Xu has long seen their situation and said, "At present, there are several empty courtyards in the village that are uninhabited. Just live here." After saying that, he patted the head of the teenager in his arms and said, "Little madman, take them to rest."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Liu Qi followed the teenager after thanking him.

After a while, several people came to the village and saw animal skins, tiger skins, wolf skins and deer skins hanging on the eaves of each family. The teenager led several people to the courtyard on the west side of the village, where the courtyard is very large, divided into the middle courtyard and the backyard. Each courtyard has more than ten houses, which is enough for Liu Qi to live in.

Liu Qi looked at the yard and felt that such a yard should not appear in the deep mountains, and there was only one such yard in the village. I can't help pulling the teenager and asking, "What was this yard doing before? How is it different from other houses?

The teenager said, "I heard from Mr. Xu that this yard was the yard of a scholar who moved here together before. Later, the scholar moved away and left this yard."

The teenager stayed here for a while and then left. Gan Ning immediately ordered someone to check the front and back of the yard several times before he came to Liu Qi and said, "There is nothing wrong with the eldest son coming out of the yard."

Liu Qi nodded and said, "What do you think of a village?"

Gan Ning said, "This village is full of strangeness. It is unreasonable for Mr. Xu and the people in the village to know us and treat us warmly when they see us without asking us where we are coming. And this yard is even more strange. Who will build such a big yard in the mountains? Although this yard is not as big as the mansion of the big prince, it is also bigger than the ordinary scholar. It will be unbelievable that such soldiers will come to the deep mountains.

Liu Qi nodded. He also saw the strangeness of the village. Liu Qi and others did not find the pursuers all the way. Obviously, the people in Jiangdong may not know this village. As for the name of Qinghe Village, I'm afraid they also named it themselves.

Liu Qi looked at Wang Yi and said, "Just in case, the food and water they sent should be checked before use. Tonight, everyone is concentrated in the front yard to rest. No one is allowed to act alone. The number of patrolling people should be appropriately reduced, but there should be no less than three people in each group. Don't let them see the clues. You can set up more dark whistles. , arrange more warning traps in front of the door, behind the door and around the wall.

"Don't worry, prince."

Then Gan Ning and Wang Yi looked at each other and said, "Tonight, General Wang and I will sleep in the same room with the eldest son." The two were a little worried about Liu Qi.

Liu Qi thought about it and nodded. Gan Ning and Wang Yi were relieved. Wang Yi stayed with Liu Qi, and Gan Ning went out to arrange everyone.
