The horse-drawn carriage had been driving for more than half a month, although it was a day and night trip, but fortunately, the Yunzhou government was on the way to take care of it. Not only did Niu Zhuang not feel tired, but because he ate and drank well and was well served all the way, he looked rosy.

But on the other side, the slightly relaxed atmosphere between Lin Xixue and Bai Qing was further divided because of Lin Xixue's repeated questioning.

Since Bai Qing was annoyed by her questioning last time, whenever she mentioned key information, she always kept her mouth shut, for fear of saying something she shouldn't say.

Although Lin Xixue was quite helpless about this, she could understand it.

On this day, the carriage moved forward as usual, passing through a dead forest without bark, and arrived at an unknown small village.

The big red stage temporarily set up in the village has not been dismantled, but there is no troupe on the stage and no audience in the audience.

The village was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and many houses hung red lanterns in front of their doors, but the lanterns were not lit. It was clearly broad daylight, but the doors were closed tightly.

"Sister Bai, what are you doing in this village? It looks weird and scary." Xu Zhiyi saw the scene in the village through the window, shivered and shivered.

"Look at setting up a stage and hanging lanterns here. I think there must be a big family in the village doing important things, whether it's a birthday or a wedding. It's just." Bai Qing looked at Lin Xixue suddenly when she was talking about half of the topic. He swallowed it back abruptly.

"Just what?" Xu Zhiyi asked in fear and curiosity.

"Hmph, let's not talk about it, lest some people have to ask endlessly. Anyway, this village is very troublesome. We'd better leave as soon as possible." After Bai Qing finished speaking, she told the driver outside the carriage: "Let the horse Run fast and get out of this village as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Hearing Bai Qing's order, Niu Zhuang immediately swung his whip a few times, and the carriage suddenly accelerated and drove out of the village.

After all, although he is stupid, he is not stupid. Immortal Master Bai ordered himself to leave the village quickly, simply saying that the village is weird.

While driving, he looked back from time to time, and saw that the village had finally disappeared, he was finally relieved, his heart was completely relieved, and the speed of the carriage was slowed down.

After all, if the horse runs too fast and consumes too much stamina, he may not be able to run to the next town, so he will not leave. At that time, Immortal Master Bai will blame him, how can he afford it.

After continuing to move forward for a cup of tea, Niu Zhuang saw a mountain village in front of him again.

As the carriage continued to move forward, the mountain village became clearer and clearer in front of his eyes. Seeing the unmanned stage at the entrance of the village, Niu Zhuang's legs suddenly began to tremble, and he said in horror: "Master Bai, the village. That village just now!"

"Forget it, since you can't hide, then go in, maybe you can have another meal." Bai Qing didn't show any panic in her words, but a little impatient.

But Niu Zhuang had the experience of meeting a wolf girl last time, so he couldn't be calm, and said with a mournful face: "Master Immortal, I don't want to eat anymore. You have great powers, so let's find a way to get us out of here!"

"It's not impossible to leave by force, but it's too time-consuming. Since someone in the village invited us, it's okay to go in and have a seat." Bai Qing got out of the carriage and walked towards the village.

Lin Xixue was not terribly afraid, after all, she had seen too many strange things after traveling, and her nerves had already been sharpened.But she could see that Xu Zhiyi was a little scared, so she held her hand, trying to give her a sense of security.

Niu Zhuang originally wanted to stay in the car, but then he thought that perhaps the safest place would be with Master Bai, so he had no choice but to follow in resentment.

The group of four gradually went deep into the village, but they saw the doors of every house closed tightly. The whole village was like a lifeless dead village, and there was a sad suona sound from far away.

The sound of the suona fluctuated from time to time, and the pitch fluctuated from high to low. It seemed to be crying out for injustice, and it seemed to be crying loudly. Xu Zhiyi hugged Lin Xixue's arm even tighter.

Not long after, the four of them walked into the village square from the alleys of the village. A high red wall in the square was temporarily covered with a layer of white cloth. It hasn't been torn clean, and you can still vaguely see sporadic spots of paste on the wall.

This is a mourning hall temporarily converted from a wedding hall. In front of the mourning hall, only a few villagers were sparsely surrounded, their bodies wrapped in white sackcloth, and the yellow paper in the brazier turned into fly ash and scattered all over the sky.

However, in front of the mourning hall, there was no sound of the suona just now, let alone the person playing the suona.

In front of the mourning hall, there was a table of banquets. There were not too many and no too many chopsticks for the banquet, and four pairs of chopsticks were arranged according to the four directions of southeast, north, and west.

The good wine and dishes on the table have not been touched, as if they were specially arranged for Lin Xixue and his party.

Seeing the four of them coming, several villagers turned their heads in unison, staring at them with dull and stiff eyes.

Seeing this scene, Niu Zhuang was sweating like rain on his back. If he hadn't been afraid of being cut off by Bai Qing's sword, she would have liked to have hugged Bai Qing's arm like Xu Zhiyi did.

The old woman kneeling on the ground with yellow paper on the ground stared at them for a long time before trying to get up from the ground, but maybe her legs were numb after kneeling for a long time, so she couldn't stand up for a long time, and there were still two young people on the left and right. Some men put her up.

The two men walked towards the four with the old woman on their backs, or they shouldn't have left, because the old woman's legs were held up, so she was in a suspended state. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "floating".

The old woman's eye sockets were sunken, and she had severe cataracts. She could hardly see the eye sockets, and a few broken teeth protruded from the gums here and there.

"Several distinguished guests. Please take a seat and entertain Wanwang Haihan." The voice of the old woman also appeared extremely hoarse.

Bai Qing didn't refuse anything, just nodded to the old woman, and really rolled up her skirt and entered the table.

Although Lin Xixue and Xu Zhiyi didn't know why Bai Qing took their seats so calmly, there was nothing wrong with doing so, so they also took their seats.It's just that Xu Zhiyi was still a little scared after all, so he picked up a stool and sat between Bai Qing and Lin Xixue.

Niu Zhuang was pacing up and down the table, his face turned blue with fright.

"Master Bai really wants to eat?"

"Eat, of course you have to eat. Not only do you have to eat, but you have to pack what you can't finish. In short, these are all yours. Try to eat them all."

Niu Zhuang swallowed his saliva, he didn't have the extensive meal in the past, he just picked up a peanut carefully, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a long time, but he didn't dare to swallow it.

Several villagers dressed in hemp greeted the four of them to their seats, and then continued to burn paper in front of the mourning hall, without any intention of entertaining them.

At this moment, the jug on the table suddenly floated up by itself, filling the wine glass in front of Niu Zhuang. Niu Zhuang jumped up with a "Yah", his knees almost turned the table over, and the poured wine flowed out The table is full.

"If I tell you to eat, you can eat. With me here, I can protect you." Bai Qing folded her hands and put them in front of her body, with a dignified and decent demeanor.

"Master Bai, this wine, it"

"The owner here saw that you only ate snacks and thought you wanted wine, so he poured wine for you. What's so strange about that? Since he serves you wine, you can drink it. Don't disappoint others' kindness. "

After Bai Qing finished speaking, the jug floated up by itself again, and poured wine for Niu Zhuang again.

Niu Zhuang raised his glass tremblingly, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp, as if he was not drinking, but was going to die generously.It was clearly a fine wine, but for some reason, it was even more difficult to swallow than the usual cloudy and sour wine.

"Okay, I've eaten the food and drank the wine. If you want to find out what I'm talking about, you can tell me slowly."
