There are many villages outside the city of Linxi, and the people here also grow their own grain, but growing food in this place is like a gamble for them, if the soldiers in front of them can't control the border, then when the grain is harvested, the soldiers of the Western Xia or Liao State will suddenly attack and rob their grain.

But although this is a bet, the grain is planted correctly, because if they don't plant, they may starve, after all, in this world, there are many hungry people, and they are doing helpless things every day.

In the spring, the wheat is green, and at a glance, it seems to be a blue ocean, and occasionally a few small birds skim the sky, this place seems to be a peaceful paradise, and people do not think that war may break out here at any time.

On this day, Hua Lang and the others were playing outside the city, and unconsciously entered a village, where there were only a dozen or so families, each house isolated from each other, but they were each other's horns, which gave them both independent space and help each other in times of danger, this layout was realized by them after suffering several wars in this place.

The village is very quiet, occasionally there are dogs barking and roosters crowing, when Hua Lang and others walk into the village, it is already dusk, if they want to go back, they can go back, but in such a beautiful and quiet place, they don't want to go back, they want to enjoy a different kind of fun in this place.

After they came to the village, they immediately attracted the onlookers of the villagers, as if they had never seen outsiders in this place, although they were onlookers, but there was no malice, after all, they could see at a glance that Hualang and others were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and in such a complex environment, it was very cordial to meet a person from the same country as themselves.

Although the village is small, there is also a village chief, the village chief is a middle-aged man over forty years old, but it may be because of the long-term work, he is slightly old, and his back is a little hunched, after he saw Hualang and others, he stepped forward and asked: "How many people are from Linxi City?" ”

Hua Lang bowed his hand again and again, and said: "We are from Chang'an, temporarily living in Linxi City, today to play here, I can't help but look at the time, I don't know if we can let us spend a night?" ”

The village chief's name was Lin Ben, but when he heard that Hualang and the others were from Chang'an, he was immediately excited and said, "How many of them are from Chang'an?" Chang'an is a big place, a few people please, we have a sparse population here, but the house is enough, please. ”

Chang'an was the largest city in the world in the Tang Dynasty, and now it has not been much, so among the people, Chang'an City is more famous than Kaifeng, and Hualang naturally knows this, so when Lin Ben said those words, he was not too surprised or sideways, and after smiling lightly, he said: "Thank you so much." ”

The village chief's house was a large courtyard, surrounded by a circle of houses, where Hua Lang and the others were arranged; The villagers are very simple, so at dusk, the villagers gathered in front of the village chief's house, took out the food from the house, and then held a grand night banquet in the green trees and flowers.

The food in the night banquet is not good, nor is it fine, and some of them can't even be described as delicious, but because of the relationship between the villagers, Hua Lang and the others eat and play very happily, because for them, this is not just about eating.

For many people, eating is to fill their stomachs, for others, eating is to achieve a certain purpose, and for Hanaro and others, eating is to be happy, as long as you are with happy people, what does it matter what you eat?

The night is gradually coming, tonight is full of stars, when those villagers gradually dispersed, Lin Ben smiled and invited Hualuo and others to the living room, in fact, it is a living room, but it is just a central hall, with a fake calligraphy and painting scratched in front, a few chairs on both sides, and a table in the middle, and a teacup on the table.

After everyone sat down in the living room, Lin Ben's daughter-in-law poured tea for Hualuo and others, and then retreated. ”

Hualuo smiled again and again, and said, "The village chief is polite, with your hospitality, we should say that we should disturb." ”

After the two sides were so polite, Lin Ben asked his son Lin Shu to take them back to rest.

It was getting late, the wind began to howl at some point, although Hualuo and the others were sleeping on a simple bed, but they quickly entered the dream, but just when they fell asleep for a long time, there was a sudden sound of barking dogs outside, and the barking of dogs seemed to be mixed with a few screams, and soon, the screams stopped, and the barking of dogs also stopped.

Hua Lang woke up from his sleep, and soon, the whole village became noisy, and the dog barked again, but this dog bark was different from the dog barking just now, the torches outside kept shaking, Wen Meng sat up from the bed and asked, "What happened?" ”

What happened, but Hua Lang didn't know what to do, the noise outside was getting louder and louder, maybe the whole village had woken up, and, at this time, all the people kept shouting one person's name: Lin Qu.

When he heard the villagers shouting such a name, Hua Lang's heart suddenly sank, because he heard those screams, so he had a faint premonition.

After hurriedly putting on their clothes, Hua Lang and Wen Meng hurriedly ran out, the torches outside flashed everywhere, Hua Lang and the others found Lin Ben, and then asked, "Village Chief, what happened?" ”

Lin Ben's face was ugly, and he could even be described as terrifying, he didn't seem to hear what Hua Lang asked at all, he just kept muttering: "The legend happened again, the legend happened again, the evil dog, the evil dog killed, the evil dog killed the ......"

I have been in contact with Lin Ben for a short time today, but he feels that Hua Lang is a very stable person, but now Lin Ben seems to have changed his whole person, he seems to be shocked by something, but what is he shocked by?

Vicious dogs? What vicious dogs?

Hua Lang grabbed Lin Ben and hurriedly asked, "Village Chief, what the hell is going on, what kind of vicious dog killed someone?" ”

The surrounding villagers shouted, shouting the name of Lin Qu, but only the empty echo answered them, the sound seemed faint in the middle of the night, and a little terrifying, although everyone was looking around, but no one dared to leave the village, as if, the breath of death was permeating the village, whoever left the village, who would die.

Like the Lin Qu who disappeared without a trace.
