What is said to be a country road is sometimes not quite a road.
The hills are narrow, rugged and winding.
When the sky was about to get dark, a small village appeared in sight. Zhu Yunxi ordered people to rest and settle down in this village.
The village is not big, but it is full of chickens and dogs, the lights are bright, and there is rising smoke in the air.
"Hush!"
Li Jinglong pulled the reins and smiled at Zhu Yunxi and the old man who were sitting on the shaft of the carriage, "Masters, let's rest here? I will go to the village to have a look and find a place for you two."
Zhu Yunxi looked at the village in front of him. The dozens of people in his group seemed to have alarmed the people in the village, including carriages and knights. It seemed that the people in this remote village were both surprised and a little scared.
"Go less, don't scare people!" Zhu Yunxi whispered, "Just find a place for the old man to live, while the others are camping out."
If they all poured into such a small village over the years, I'm afraid it would frighten people. After all, the guards who followed didn't look like kind people.
"What Da Sun said makes sense. We are a large group of people with unknown origins. Don't let people think they are bandits! Go and tell them properly and don't show off!" The old man also said, but then he seemed to think of something.
, couldn't help but laugh to himself.
"I obey the decree!"
Li Jinglong put down his riding crop, refused the guards who wanted to accompany him, and walked slowly towards the village.
"Grandson, wait and see the good show!" The old man poked Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi was puzzled, "Grandpa Huang, what's the show?"
The old man smiled and said nothing. Guo Ying and Cao Zhen, who were approaching from the side, also had evil smiles on their faces.

"Woof!"
He had just entered the village and was heading towards the largest room. Suddenly, a dog barked in the dark, startling him.
Following the sound, he saw outside a thatched house at the entrance of the village, next to the chicken coop, a long-haired pug, grinning at him and yelling with its tail between its legs.
"Woof!"
"You bitch, you're not big, but your voice is not small!" Li Jinglong laughed in his heart and continued to step forward.
"Woof woof woof!"
When the puppy saw a stranger coming, it kept barking at the top of its lungs with its tail between its legs.
"Are you done with your dog days?" Li Jinglong laughed and cursed in his heart. Suddenly, his childlike innocence turned over and he bent down to pick up a pebble from the ground.
However, as soon as he straightened up, his movements suddenly stopped.
"Woo..."
In front of him, a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared. Several native dogs with thorny hair appeared silently in front of him, hunched over and staring at him with bared teeth.
Li Jinglong's claws suddenly became numb. He was not afraid of one dog, but there were several in front of him, and there were local dogs running out from the door of every house behind him...
One person versus several dogs, this scene can be as scary as possible.
Li Jinglong suddenly regretted not bringing more people over. He was a dignified prince, and it would be so fucking embarrassing if a dog took the money.
"Hey... people in Zhuangzi, listen..."
Li Jinglong shouted at the top of his lungs, "I am..."
"Woof...woof!" The puppy barked twice, and the big dogs rushed over as if they had received an order. Their fangs protruded from their mouths and their tongues were scarlet.
"Grandma!"
Li Jinglong cursed loudly, turned around and ran away.
"Here comes someone!" he shouted as he ran, "Peace slave!"
"oops!"
As soon as I ran a few steps and yelled, I felt a sudden soreness on my buttocks. I turned around and kicked away one of the most ferocious native dogs. But at that moment, other native dogs rushed towards me one after another.
"Oh my God...here comes someone!" Li Jinglong ran away with a howl, and the dog behind him howled and chased after him.
"Come back!" Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and the dogs stopped chasing, but they still looked at Li Jinglong eagerly.
An old man walked out of the courtyard wall with a few young men.
Some people were holding dung forks, some were holding earthen hunting bows, and some were holding kitchen knives.
"What are you doing?" the old man shouted.
Li Jinglong gasped, "We are passing merchants. We are looking for a place to rest when it gets dark. Please do it for your convenience!"
"Businessmen?" The old man looked at Li Jinglong, and then looked at the carts and guards outside the village. "Our village is small and cannot accommodate so many people. There is a larger Zhoujia village ten miles ahead. You can go and stay there.
?”
"It's hard to travel when it's dark." Li Jinglong said loudly, "It's convenient for you!"
"I really can't entertain you, so you can do what you want!" the old man said coldly, his eyes full of vigilance.
At this moment, a war horse came slowly from behind. Guo Ying jumped off the horse and held his hands in his arms, smiling and saying, "Brother, we are just passing merchants. You see, it's already dark, so we really can't go on our way."
As he said that, he bumped Li Jinglong with his elbow and said with a smile, "They are all good people. They will never disturb the farmers in the village, let alone sneak in. As long as you have a room, the village will provide you with some food."
Speaking of this, he looked sideways at Li Jinglong.
The latter stood there, not understanding why Guo Ying looked directly at him.
"Stupid!" Guo Ying reached out and took out the money bag directly from Li Jinglong's arms, tossed it in his hand a few times, and then took out a few silver coins from it.
"Brother, please take care of yourself. It's not easy for us to be away from home. It's convenient!"
Fortunately for the old man, the eyes of the young people behind the old man are all straight. The farmers may not be able to pick up a piece of broken silver after working hard for a year, let alone this shiny silver dollar?
"Just find a sheltered place in the village!" Guo Ying laughed again, "The owner of our car is old and can't get wind!"
Seeing him like this, the old man's expression relaxed a little, but he still didn't agree.
"Brother, do you think this bag of silver dollars can't buy anything? Do we still need to worry about the things in your village?" Guo Ying held Li Jinglong's money bag and smiled, "We don't all go to the village.
There are only two bosses and me, an old man."
"Okay...let's do it!" The old man hesitated for a moment, "But there is nothing to entertain in the countryside."
"As long as you have a hot meal!" Guo Ying laughed, then threw the silver dollar in his hand, "The next generation will take over."
A few strong men on the opposite side took the silver coins and hurriedly blew them with their teeth.
"You look like a loser!" the old man cursed and told the younger ones, "Go to Widow Liu's house. They have a vacant room. Ask her to vacate the house and sleep in another house. Let your mother get some firewood, hurry up!"
Several young people agreed and ran directly to the village.
"What a bother!" Guo Ying said with a smile.
The old man nodded and smiled.
~~~
"You said you're so fucking stupid that you don't even understand this? You're a big man that can be chased by dogs, but you're also a general who rides into battle. Isn't that embarrassing?"
Guo Ying turned around and began to scold Li Jinglong, "All the virtues of your family have been lost to you. If the dog chases you, won't it end with one kick?"
"I..." Li Jinglong's face turned blue and white, and he looked at Guo Ying, "Fourth uncle, my money bag...?"
"Leave it to me first. There will be more places to spend money later." Guo Ying squinted, "Why, are you afraid that I will rob you?"
"No, no!" Li Jinglong sneered.
But he was cursing in his heart, "You old and immortal killer!"
Then the two of them walked to the carriage of the old man and Zhu Yunxi. Guo Ying said with a smile, "Two bosses, we have agreed over there, let's go to the village to have a rest!"
"You too, Fourth!" The old man got off the carriage and cursed with a smile, "What's the hurry?"
"If I had been a little later, he would have been picked out by the dog!" Guo Ying laughed.
The old men in Qing Dynasty had guessed that there was a vicious dog in Zhuangzi and deliberately waited to see Li Jinglong's joke.
"I'm pretty good, I didn't shoot you with an arrow!" the old man continued with a smile.
Li Jinglong wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground and muttered, "The people in this village are too wild!"
"That's wrong. If you are the leader of the village, what do you think of these people with unknown origins coming from outside? You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must also have the heart to guard against others!" Cao Zhen laughed and said, "There are young and old in the village.
With a family of hundreds of people, you can never be too careful."
With that said, Cao Zhen turned around and said, "Fourth brother, have you arranged your place to live? I can't even open my eyes!"
"That's it!" Guo Ying said with a smile, "The old man in the village said, give us the yard of a widow's house!"
"Widow?" Cao Zhen's eyes lit up, "If you want to say this, I'm not sleepy anymore!"
