Storm of Kings

Chapter 22 Mysterious Mountain Village

The four horses sprinted swiftly, but fortunately, the mysterious ice cocoon could be frozen in advance by the mud. After running out two hundred meters, the freezing power was no longer so scary.

After reaching the safety zone, Zhou Lie looked at the place where the stone forest stood just now with lingering fears. He saw a vast expanse of whiteness, his expression lost in a daze, and casually said, "The belt was destroyed by Wang Sixiu, and only these few gems were left. , I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"

Tang Qiqi rolled his eyes with anger, and shook his head: "I...I don't know what to say about you. That belt has great potential. In the future, it will have a chance to grow on its own with the flesh and blood of a powerful monster. Sooner or later, even if it’s broken, you have to find a way to repair it. How can it be wasted like this?"

Xu Xiaohuan said unconvincedly: "Is things important or fate? Do you have the ability to deal with the situation just now? My brother did the right thing."

Zhou Lie patted his sister's hand to show his comfort. Then he looked at Tang Qiqi and said with regret: "I wanted to ask Girl Tang for advice last night, but the girl went too suddenly. If you go to our village today I hope I can give more advice if I stay here."

These words are sincere. For Zhou Lie and the four, what they lack most now is common sense, so how can they easily let go of catching Tang Qiqi, a "teammate"?

Tang Qiqi fluttered with a smile and said, "My little brother has a deep mind. Many people try to break the barriers of the class. It is a pity that in addition to the good luck of ordinary people, a lot of innate factors are needed. Leave this place first, I I am worried that Qiqige will send someone to follow up, and it will not be safe to return to the village with you."

Xu Xiaohuan suddenly became nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, will the villain Xu Shaoyou lead the bandits back to the village?"

"Don't be afraid, go directly to the village chief, our village still has a certain degree of protection."

Zhou Lie had thought about this for a long time, and if he moved with his family immediately, he would not be able to contact Cao Hongbin.The problem is that if you drag your family to the road, you can easily be overtaken by the bandits, and there will be no loopholes, so you can only rely on the village.

The stone forest that blocked the road just now seemed to be the last hurdle. The four horses carefully circumvented the frozen area, and finally broke through the blockade, leaving Yuanquan Town far behind.

"drive……"

Zhou Lie and the others are like birds out of the cage, letting go of their horsepower and running wildly on the road.

Thinking about what I have experienced in the past two days, although I only stayed in Yuanquan Town for one night, it feels like a long time has passed.It seems that the whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes, both familiar and unfamiliar.

The distance between Yuanquan Town and Kaiyuan Village simply couldn't stop BMW Liangju from running indifferently. It took only twenty minutes to see the village wall as soon as he looked up.

Tang Qiqi smiled bitterly: "Why is your village so close to Yuanquan Town? Hear what I told you and immediately pack your clothes. It's easy for accidents a few hours later. There are many capable people around Qiqige, and their noses are so good!"

Zhou Lie's four fell silent at the same time, and they can leave at once, but how does the family respond?If there is a choice between family members and Tongjak, they will choose family members without hesitation.

"drive……"

The horse's tail lifted up the dust, a whistle sounded from the village wall, and Xu Tianbao responded with a whistle.

In short time, the front door roared, opening a slit for only a horse to pass by.

Tang Qiqi looked at the surrounding terrain and found that the ancestors who built this village really chose an excellent location, the terrain is dangerous, and only one side can defend against the invading enemy.

In addition, when the wall opened the door, the sound came out empty. This phenomenon shows that there are organs hidden in the wall, and judging by the echo, the number of organs is not small.

When he entered the gate, Tang Qiqi was taken aback again.

I saw the village a long distance behind the wall. The two sides of the road seemed unremarkable, but the soil was black with a faint fishy smell.

The smell is so weak that only sensitive people like her can smell it.

"Really strange, this village..." As the door behind him closed, curiosity arose in Tang Qiqi's heart.

Four horses entered the village and attracted many people to watch. The fat man yelled, "It's numb, who has food? Hurry up and bring it to the fat man. The sky will be bright and he will get up until now. ."

"Yeah! Isn't this Xiaohao? Why do you look like this?" The villagers heard the voice and recognized the fat man, and couldn't help laughing.

Zu Wanhao took out a silver coin, breathed hard at the silver coin, and said with intoxication, "Listen, listen to this beautiful sound, who has food ready to eat, hurry up and send it to us, this silver coin It's his."

"Fatty, you have to say something. I'll go home and eat. There is half a piece of braised beef on the stove. I can take care of it." The villagers rushed away. Who wouldn't want to get a silver coin?

Zhou Lie yelled and asked: "Auntie Three, Uncle Four, Aunt Sixteen, have you seen the village chief today?"

"I didn't see it. That old guy has already done nothing. Don't delay our earning coins."

Xu Xiaohuan jumped off from the horse, raised his head and said, "Brother, you go to the village chief's house first. If it doesn't work, go find the second elder."

"Well, you should eat something to cushion your stomach first, and wait for your mother to make good food for us when you go home at noon." Zhou Lie said, driving towards the center of the village.

The village chief’s house has several small wooden buildings, and the front and back courtyard occupies a large area. Many trees are planted outside the courtyard, which looks very quiet.

The village chief's surname is Zu, and he is the grand uncle of Zu Wanhao in order of generation. However, ten years ago, he seldom took care of matters and only showed up at the annual sacrifice.Major events in the village are usually handled by the second and third elders, and there are four elders outside.

In short time, Zhou Lie came to the gate of the village chief's house.

As soon as he got off his horse, he saw a dry little old man sitting on a wooden chair next to the door, smoking a pipe and basking in the sun.

Hey, by coincidence, this little old man is the village chief who usually wanders around.

The village chief said while stuffing tobacco into the pipe: "Boy, when did you get on this good horse? I don't know who was so pitted and cut off the whiskers and horns of this horse. Tsk tsk, this horse is born with a deficiency. Otherwise the scales would have been born."

"The village chief, are you so knowledgeable about horses?" Zhou Lie was very surprised.

"Yeah, your kid looks down on people. The old man thought that he was a very famous groom nearby. After walking in the wind and rain for many years, there are too many good horses to deliver babies with both hands." The old man is triumphant and can't tell Pride.

Zhou Lie patted the horse’s head and said apologetically: “It’s called Longze. I cut off the beard and horse horns. Don’t be excited. I’m trying to escape. A lot of things happened in Yuanquan Town this time. ."

Speaking of Zhou Lie taking something out of his arms, the little old man stood up suddenly, his eyes brightened terribly, and said in a deep voice: "Tongque Ling? Follow me into the house!"
