Chapter 636
The old man smiled wryly, "Our place is remote, and the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Who would dare to report such a thing? I heard that the Liangshan Town government office has been withdrawn a long time ago, and everyone who can escape has escaped!"

"Although our village is far away, wild animals are rampant here, and those who are capable have all moved away. Now there are only about twenty households left, old, weak, sick, and disabled. Let's barely support them!"

After confirming that he did not go to the wrong place, Shutong decided to continue to set off!
The horses in the mountains were unable to move, so the horses stayed in the village temporarily, and Tori was taking care of them, and the second master left some belongings.

A group of people went into the woods, and seeing them disappear, the old woman sighed beside her, "Old man, do you think they will be like our son, never come back!"

A few years ago, his son went hunting in the mountains with the young and strong in the village, and never came back. Thinking of the past, the old woman shed muddy tears from the corners of her eyes.

The old man withdrew his gaze and sighed, "Everyone has his own fate, I think these people carry knives and guns with them, maybe...!"

However, when Shutong and his party entered the dense forest, there were still forest trails to be found at first, but gradually they couldn't even find the road.

Fortunately, a few bandits who had explored the road before led the way and climbed over two mountain ridges.

Along the way, the vegetation is lush, and you can often hear the movement of wild animals in the grass. There are so many people in their group, and the wild animals dare not show their faces in broad daylight!

At night, everyone stayed in a dilapidated mountain temple.

A prosperous bonfire was lit, and everyone folded their clothes and lay down.

Shutong sat cross-legged as usual.

In the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the mountains, and the howling wind was mixed with the howling of various wild animals, which was eerie!
Even though the queen was there, the second leader couldn't sleep well, and would quietly open his eyes from time to time wrapped in a blanket.

It was reassuring to find that the Queen's eyes were downcast and her complexion was normal.

He didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

I just squinted my eyes, and suddenly, I heard someone running quickly outside the mountain temple!
Shutong didn't move.

The night watch guard had already stood up holding the handle of the knife, "Who is it?"

The man outside seemed to be taken aback, and he stammered, "I, I'm a passer-by, and I saw the fire here and wanted to stay overnight!"

The visitor was a country man in his forties, dressed in bunts and with a hatchet pinned to his waist.

He had a simple and honest face, with fear in his eyes, as if he was frightened by the guard's dagger.

He stood hesitantly at the entrance of the mountain temple, with a humble and ingratiating smile on his face, "The villain is a hunter at the foot of the mountain. He fell off the cliff after chasing a fox. He finally woke up and found that it was dark. He wanted to spend a little time in the mountain temple. Overnight, I didn’t expect to meet you all, can you allow me to spend the night here at the door?”

The guard looked at him coldly, no matter how you looked at him, he was a simple country guy!

"Come in! You sleep at the door!"

Shutong had already woken up, but she didn't open her eyes. She had looked at this person with her spiritual sense, and she knew it well!
The man seemed to be very knowledgeable, and shrank obediently at the door. After a while, he took out a paper bag from his arms tremblingly, and handed it to the night guard.

"Big brother! I have half a rabbit leg here. It's very fresh. It's your thank you for letting me stay here!"

How could the people from the princess mansion see this half rabbit leg?
If you want to eat wild game, even Xiao Hei can kill a tiger if no one else tells you!

Casting a glance, he said coldly, "No, you can keep it for yourself!"

The man seemed to be frightened. Seeing that the other party was not impressed, he could only stuff the oiled paper bag back into his arms, and sat there silently again!
In less than a cup of tea time, there were suddenly many footsteps outside, as if many people were coming to the mountain temple together!

The night guard grasped the handle of the knife again, took two steps towards the door, and listened to the sound in the wind.

Sure enough, that series of footsteps went straight to the mountain temple!
Soon, more than a dozen people came out of the night, chatting and laughing towards this side.

"Brother Zhao, thanks to you today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch the big guy!" One of the young guys seemed to be in a good mood, joking all the way.

Others also joined in.

While talking, a group of people have arrived at the mountain temple.

The guard drew his sword out of its sheath, and said with a cold face, "Who is it!"

As if they had just discovered him, the group of people stopped suddenly and looked at each other.

"We are hunters in the mountains!" The leader was a man in his thirties, strong and sturdy.

He piled up a smile and said, "I saw the fire in the mountain temple from far away. It turns out that there are people sleeping in the open. That's great. There are many wild animals in the mountains and forests, so it's safe to have more people!"

He cupped his hands and said, "Please let us go in and have a rest!"

The guard frowned, looked at the group of people, and found that they were all dressed in country clothes, holding sticks or hunting forks in their hands!

He didn't give way, "Orion? Who goes up the mountain to hunt in the middle of the night!"

The man was stunned, and then smiled wryly, "We are not hunters! We are all farming in the countryside. Wild animals in this forest often harm the crops. There is no way, the big guy organizes hunting on the mountain!"

"I have to take care of the crops during the day, so I can only go up the mountain at night. Look, this is our prey!"

He moved out of the way, and behind him were two men carrying a wild boar!
He said angrily, "There are the most wild boars in this mountain, and this kind of animal loves to harm the crops the most. It can't be destroyed!"

"My little brother, I know first come, first served, we don't squeeze in, so we can just sit and rest at this door?"

Seeing that he was so sincere, the night watch guards couldn't say much, so they could only give way.

He went back to sit by the fire, and the hunters came in laughing.

The person before said with a look of surprise, "Brother Zhao, you are here too, that's great!"

When a group of people saw him later, they also wondered, "Er Gouzi, you didn't die, what a fate!"

This group of people talked and laughed, and they have already alarmed everyone!

Everyone vigilantly guarded Shutong, and the night guard stepped forward and whispered the matter.

The second leader frowned, "Orion? Didn't the old man say that all the Orion who entered the mountain disappeared, so why would anyone dare to enter the mountain?"

Langya was also observing this group of people, and found that they were laughing and cursing, nothing unusual.

"Look at it first!"

The group seemed to have just realized that they woke up others, and the leader said embarrassedly, "We country people have a loud voice and woke up everyone. I'm really sorry, but it's almost dawn!"

"By the way, I have homemade burning knives here. If you don't mind, you can drink some together. Although it is summer, it is still quite cold in the mountains in the morning!"

He handed over a wine bag, how could the Erdangjia and others value this?No one will pick it up!
The man was embarrassed, Shutong finally opened his eyes, "Go on!"

Seeing that she woke up, the Erdang was very satisfied.

Go forward and take the wine bag!

The man was in a good mood, "Looking at how you are dressed, you are not from the local area, right? I don't know where to go?"

Erdang held the wine bag and did not open it, "We are going to Liangshan Town!"

The man was startled, then laughed and said, "Liangshan Town is good, that's a good place!"

Shutong took the wine sac and opened it. There was no aroma of wine, but a rotten and disgusting smell.

She sneered in her heart, and stuffed it casually!
