Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 391 Mountain Village
The mountain road was rugged, Xu Mu walked for a while, and felt that the right leg made of wooden sticks was a bit inconvenient, so he turned and walked into the nearby jungle, and picked a big dark brown tree.

His right hand pointed like a knife, and his nails popped out like sharp blades. The big tree as hard as iron in front of him was like tofu under his hands. It was cut into various parts, and then quickly assembled into a prosthetic with an exquisite structure.

Xu Mu put it on his lap, then wrapped it in the animal skin A Yue gave him, stood up and took a few steps.

"Except for being a bit fragile, there are no major problems in other aspects!"

Xu Mu didn't make a prosthetic hand because he was afraid of being noticed and causing unnecessary trouble.

After packing up his things, Xu Mu continued to walk down the mountain, but because of the delay in making the prosthetic limbs, and because Xu Mu didn't know the way, it was completely dark when he reached the village at the foot of the mountain. He was eaten up by him long ago.

Xu Mu thought about going to the village to ask for directions, and to see if he could exchange some food.

After entering the village, I found that the village is very poor. Most of the houses are thatched huts, with muddy walls, and there are signs of damage everywhere, as if they have been hit hard by something.

There are only a few families in the center with neat brick houses, but there are also signs of damage on the courtyard walls.

Bang bang!

"Anyone at home?"

After Xu Mu entered the village, he knocked on the door of a nearby house and shouted.

There was a slight movement in the room, but unfortunately no one responded.

Xu Mu tried a few more, all in the same situation.

"A stranger knocked on the door in the middle of the night. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have opened the door."

Xu Mu joked to himself that he planned to give up and go to a random place outside the village to stay overnight and ask the way tomorrow before leaving. At this moment, a person in front of him who had never knocked on the door opened the door. year-old woman with her head sticking out from inside.

"Where are you from? What's the matter?"

The woman's complexion was yellow, and she was dressed plainly. She looked like an ordinary farmer, but her eye circles were slightly darkened, and she obviously didn't sleep well.

"I'm a foreigner. I got lost when I was hunting in the mountains, and I want to ask for directions." Xu Mu stood still and said with a smile.

The woman stretched her head and looked Xu Mu up and down. Seeing that Xu Mu had only one arm and was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, her expression immediately relaxed a lot.

She opened the mouth and said: "Go out of the village and go straight south, about twenty or thirty miles to Sanxin Town!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

"Big sister? Haha! You're such an interesting kid!"

The woman couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"Ha ha!"

Xu Mu smiled, didn't care about the other party's teasing, turned around and walked out of the village.

The woman froze for a moment, then hurried out of the yard, chased him, and stood in front of him.

"You don't mean to go to town now, do you?" the woman asked in surprise.

"That's right! Is there any problem?" Xu Mu asked puzzled.

"Didn't the masters of the Ni family tell you not to drive at night?"

The woman looked at him incredulously.

"Thank you, big sister, for your concern! I'm not afraid!"

Xu Mu smiled and was about to go around the other party and continue walking. Although he had just arrived in this world, he still had some confidence in his own strength.

The woman hastily reached out and grabbed his clothes.

"You young man is really brave! When you really encounter something unclean, it's too late to regret it! Forget it, look at you! Come and live in my house!"

Regardless of Xu Mu's objection, the woman dragged Xu Mu into her yard.

"This... ok!"

Xu Mu originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's better to be more stable when you are new here, anyway, he is not in a hurry.

After being led into the yard by the woman, the woman quickly closed the door, as if she was afraid of something.

Xu Mu looked around and found that the woman's house only had a long thatched hut and a small house. In the yard were rice straws and a small vegetable garden with peppers and garlic hanging on the walls.

It looks like an ordinary farmhouse.At the same time, Xu Mu also heard slight breathing in the room. There should be someone else.

"Have you eaten yet?" the woman turned around and asked with a smile.

"no!"

Xu Mu shook his head, even Ah Yue's jerky meat was not enough to fit between his teeth.

"Go to the house, I'll serve you some food!"

"Thank you!"

"You kid is really polite!"

The woman smiled and went into the next hut, while Xu Mu went into the big room, and by the light inside, he could clearly see the scene in the room.

There are two small cubicles, one large and one small. The larger one should be for women. There is a big bed inside, and a seven or eight-year-old boy is sleeping soundly.

In the small wing room on the other side, there are a lot of sundries piled up.

There are only two large tables in the main room, one is an altar, on which there are several places for offerings, including the first father, first mother, and husband. It is obvious that the woman is a widow.

It was also fortunate that Xu Mu didn't make a prosthetic hand, otherwise the other party might not have dared to let him into the house seeing that his limbs were healthy.

The other is a dining table, with a blackened surface, surrounded by several small stools, and Xu Mu sat down on one of them.

Soon, the woman brought food, a large bowl of bran rice and half a bowl of pickled vegetables.

"That's all, don't be disgusted!"

The woman put down the bowl and said.

"Already good! Thank you!"

Xu Mu smiled and picked up his rice bowl and started eating.

The rice was indeed not delicious, but Xu Mu was not a delicate person, so he ate it all in a few seconds and expressed his thanks again.

The woman cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and tidied up the utility room next to her, and made a place for Xu Mu to sleep in.

"If you hear anything moving at night, don't come out to check, okay?"

After Xu Mu settled down, the woman reminded her again, and then went back to her room to rest.

Xu Mu thought of those dilapidated courtyard walls and wondered if the two were related, but he had no intention of exploring.

Again, if you’re new here, don’t ask for trouble.

Xu Mu lay on the hard wooden bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind, thinking about the next road.

First of all, it is natural to go to the city, first understand the specific situation of this world, and then find a way to recover and leave here.

There is no aura in this world, no matter how strong his physique is, he will die at the end of his life, so he must leave as soon as possible. There are still three people in the refining cauldron, and he can't just leave it alone. fatal.

Time passed unknowingly in his thinking, and soon it was late at night. Judging by her breathing, the woman had completely fallen asleep.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of dull footsteps came from outside the village, and then the footsteps got closer and closer, and stopped when they reached the door of the woman's house.

Xu Mu slowly opened his eyes and said helplessly, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Boom!
The fragile courtyard wall was knocked down by the unknown creature, and then the supports in the vegetable garden were trampled to pieces.

The woman had obviously woken up, but she didn't make any movement. With his sharp sense of hearing, Xu Mu sensed her beating heart and trembling body.

At the same time, there was a whining sound, as if someone had their mouth covered. Xu Mu guessed it was the child next to the woman.

It was impossible for people nearby to not understand such a loud commotion, but it was eerily quiet.

Boom!
The door of the main room was pushed open by the violent blow, and the unknown creature stepped into it, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the room where the woman was.

Xu Mu's eyes flickered.

Is it intentional?Or is it really a coincidence?
