Chapter 463 Village
Outside the Savage Mountain, there is a small isolated village called Taoyuan Village.
The first generation of ancestors of this village were poor people who came to escape the war. After several generations of farming, the current residents came into existence. Because it is close to the Savage Mountain, wars are rarely affected here. The villagers are self-sufficient and have achieved a different kind of harmony.
The village chief is jointly elected by everyone. His surname is Yang, and everyone calls him Old Man Yang.
Yang Laohan's ancestor was a scholar, and it is said that he was a scholar. This reputation as a scholar means nothing in the eyes of big shots, but in the eyes of Kuhaha at the bottom, he is a 'powerful person who can stand up to the sky.' It is because of such an ancestor that Old Yang became the head of Taoyuan Village.
Night falls and smoke curls up.
The peasant woman washing clothes by the river and the children playing at the end of the village create a harmonious picture.
Suddenly, a group of people broke in from outside, frightening the peasant women. The children who were playing hid back home, leaving only the big yellow dog with its tail between its legs, shouting desperately.
These people are armed with swords, and they are not good people at first glance.
"Leader, this is the village closest to Savage Beast Mountain. If we want to go into the mountain, it's best to rest here for a while." Someone behind Ouyang Duandao suggested.
This group of people is Ouyang Duandao and his party who are preparing to go into the mountain to slay the monsters.
“I didn’t expect there to be a village in this place.”
Ouyang Duandao glanced at this dilapidated little village and sighed with emotion.
He is the leader of the Southwest Martial Arts Alliance, and he also has the status of the imperial court, so he naturally knows that people's livelihood is difficult. But for him, these are just low-level things. Occasionally when he is free, he will sigh with emotion, "It's not easy for the people." But if you really ask him to do anything, he thinks too much, because he is also a big landowner. , part of those with vested interests.
"These rat-like pariahs can survive in a quagmire."
The subordinate who spoke was Ouyang Duandao's confidant and a member of the imperial court. People of this status will never bend down and look into the quagmire. In their eyes, untouchables are just ants! This is also the common understanding of people born in big families in this kind of feudal society.
"You go find a place and say we want to stay for one night."
Ouyang Duandao waved his hand and interrupted these irrelevant topics. For him, the most important thing is hunting monsters!
After finally hearing that there was such a monster that could be hunted, he naturally would not give up.
"good."
Black Bat, the subordinate who spoke before, walked into the village holding a knife.
He found a house that looked the most magnificent and kicked the door open.
"Are you out of breath?"
"What are you going to do?!"
Inside the house, a skinny villager was shivering and guarding his wife and children behind him. This family moved to Taoyuan Village only seven years ago and is considered to have a small amount of assets. After arriving here, they spent more energy on repairing the house to make it more elegant, but they didn't expect that they would get into trouble.
"We are passing by here and staying for two nights while we go get ready to eat."
As he spoke, Black Bat casually threw out two coins.
That's like giving alms to a beggar.
The owner of the house was even more frightened and angry. What could two copper coins do? If this man hadn't been holding the knife, he would have thrown the coin back.
"Um?"
When no one moved, Black Bat frowned unhappily.
How can he be promoted in the future if he can't handle the things the adults have assigned him?
"I'll go right away."
When the owner of the house saw this, he could only accept the copper plate and had to smile apologetically.
"Wait a minute."
At the door, the tied big yellow dog kept barking desperately. For these intruders, the big yellow dog firmly maintained its responsibility as a guard dog, but such barking made Black Bat a little unhappy.
He walked over with the knife in hand and saw a flash of light from the knife.
The barking big yellow dog was instantly beheaded, and blood splattered, which made the originally angry owner tremble. The children peeking behind were so frightened that they cried, and kept shouting words such as "Dahuang" and "He killed Dahuang".
"Add some meat!"
Black Bat smiled grimly as he mentioned the big yellow dog he had just killed and threw it away.
When the owner of the house saw this, he could only take the big yellow dog and go down to cook. His wife did not dare to say a word during the process, for fear of attracting the attention of these 'bandits' and causing greater trouble. Only the cries of children echoed.
"Sir, the matter is settled."
Black Bat returned to the team and saluted the leader, Ouyang Broken Blade.
"kindness."
Ouyang Duandao didn't say a word about Black Bat's behavior.
It was just a group of people that I would never meet again for one night in my life, so there was no need to be polite. Besides, with his strength and identity, if these untouchables really dared to resist, he would kill them all. I believe no one would come to trouble him for such a trivial matter.
Such a brutal scene naturally frightened the villagers. Many of them closed their doors tightly and did not dare to breathe.
"Let's all take a rest. There will probably be a fierce battle tomorrow."
After entering the house, Ouyang Duandao found a place to sit down and rest. Seeing this, everyone else also dispersed to rest.
Ouyang Duandao, who has hunted monsters several times, knows that monsters are ferocious, and powerful monsters are even more unpredictable. Some magic spells are no different from the magic spells of gods. What they can rely on is their martial arts. This thing may be very powerful for ordinary people, but in the eyes of those monsters, it is no different from a juggler.
"Great Immortal Huang Feng?"
A subordinate who was observing the environment of the house walked to the side hall, opened the door of the side room with his hand, and found that there was actually a shrine inside, with a yellow leather bag enshrined on it, and the words "Respect the Great Immortal Huang Feng" written below.
"Ignorant worship, these ignorant villagers like to worship these wild monsters."
Another person walked in and showed disdain when he saw the yellow leather on the altar. Then he raised his hand and knocked down the tributes and statues on the altar.
How much respect can a group of people who are in the business of hunting monsters have for monsters?
What the two of them didn't notice was that the eyes of Huang Feng Daxian, who was pushed down by them, lit up strangely. His eyes moved for a moment, and finally fell on the two people who left. In that way, he seemed to remember these two people clearly. Same.
Have a night's rest.
The villagers did not dare to do bad things, and actually gave them soup made by the big yellow dog killed by the black bat.
"It's not poisonous."
After a subordinate tested it with a silver needle, he spoke.
"Eat."
Ouyang Duandao opened his eyes and started eating.
In order to survive, the homeowner and his family took out all the good things, so this meal was quite sumptuous.
After eating and drinking, a group of people rested on the spot.
At dawn the next day, the energetic people left Taoyuan Village and continued towards the Savage Mountain.
The difference is that this time they captured a guide.
The head of Taoyuan Village.
