Ji Liao looked at the backs of the two Lu Zhu in the distance, looked down at his hand that had touched Long Ji's body, and sighed, "Eh, I really didn't mean to." ”

Immediately, he slapped the storage bag, and the magic talisman immediately appeared in his hand, attached to his body, and disappeared in place.

The sky was getting dark, and a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in tattered clothes and honest-looking, walked slowly out of a mountain path, it was Ji Liao.

This path leads to a small village with about 30 households, and you can vaguely see the appearance of the village while walking, at this time the village has risen from the smoke of cooking, several children of seven or eight years old are playing happily in the village, and the old people are sitting together, drinking hot tea and chatting, and the whole village is lingering in the afterglow of the sunset, showing peace and tranquility.

"Eh, this little baby, which child are you?"

At this time, a deep voice sounded behind Ji Liao.

Ji Liao stopped and looked back, but saw an eight-foot-tall man walking slowly towards him from the path, looking at him suspiciously.

The big man was dressed in a coarse cloth coat, carrying a firewood knife at his waist, and he carried a pickaxe on his shoulder, and a neat bundle of dry firewood hung on the top of the pickaxe.

Ji Liao immediately put on a sincere smile and arched his hand, "This uncle, he is a lost person below, and he wants to go to the bottom of the mountain to ask for directions." ”

"Oh, lost, where did you come from?" The big man walked to Ji Liao's side and stopped, looked Ji Liao up and down, looked at his honest smile, and looked at the clothes on his body that had been rotten into strips of cloth, and immediately believed Ji Liao's words for seven or eight points.

"This... Where am I coming from?" Ji Liao casually pointed into the distance.

The big man followed the direction of Ji Liao's finger and nodded without the slightest doubt, "Oh, it turned out to be from the county seat." He glanced at Ji Liao's miserable appearance twice, and then said, "Look at your appearance, maybe you have been walking on this mountain for a long time, you are hungry, come down the mountain with me, eat some food at my house, stay for one night, and go back to the county tomorrow." ”

Ji Liao wanted to shirk it, but looking at the appearance of the big man, he immediately smiled, "Then thank you uncle." ”

"Uncle, what's the name of this village?" Ji Liao and Dahan asked casually as they walked down the mountain.

"Oh! This village is called Linshui Village, and as you can see, there are only a few dozen households, which is not big. Dahan waved his hand and said.

"In this way, I haven't heard of this village in the county seat!"

"Our village is so big, and it is more than 20 miles away from the county seat, and it is normal for you to live in the county seat and not know. ”

"I see, then what do you usually live on..."Ji Liao asked again.

"Hunting, there are a lot of wild beasts on this mountain, if you are lucky, get some better skins, and sell them to the county seat for some silver. ”

Ji Liao and Dahan walked slowly along the mountain path, Ji Liao found that this big man who grew up in the countryside had an extremely honest and simple personality, and he did not have the slightest suspicion in the face of this foreign Ji Liao.

Although Ji Liao is only sixteen, he can be regarded as having tasted the warmth and coldness of the Ji family, and on the second day of going out, he encountered the pursuit of his own family.

In his conversation with Dahan, he learned that this Dahan's surname was Li, and he also had a wife and children at home, and he also knew that the county seat more than 20 miles away from Linshui Village was called "Ningyuan County." ”

Back at his home, the big man surnamed Li shouted into the house, and a woman in sackcloth walked out, and when she saw that the man in his family had brought a stranger back, she was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded at Ji Liao.

"Aunt Li!" Ji Liao bowed his hand to her respectfully.

After Ji Liao came out of the Ji family, it was rare for him to salute people sincerely, but at this time, he felt that this family was worthy of his worship.

It was already ten years of night, Ji Liao was lying on the wooden bed in the side room and opened his eyes, turned over, and the wooden bed made a creaking sound.

The family surnamed Li had already crowded into another room, leaving a separate room for Ji Liao.

Ji Liao gently pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, he looked up at the starry sky, only to see that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse at this time, a bright moon hung quietly in the sky, countless stars were like jewels twinkling in the sky, and the ears were full of continuous insect chirping, which seemed to be playing a song that fell asleep in an ensemble.

He glanced back at the family who had already slept, smiled slightly, and then disappeared in place, and on the wooden bed where Ji Liao was lying, two ingots of silver were quietly placed.

This is just a simple family, but the purity of this family has planted a seed of kindness in Ji Liao's heart.

After a long time, Ji Liao's figure appeared outside Ningyuan County, and a few people flew up to the city wall, and the two armored soldiers held their weapons, leaning on the city wall and falling asleep, not realizing that they were only a dozen steps away, and there was a young man in tattered clothes standing there.

The county seat of Ningyuan is not big, although there are lights on, but there are not many of them.

Ji Liao walked through the rooftops, and finally landed in an alley, and as soon as he walked out of the alley, he stood at the door of an inn with the door still open.

Ji Liao stepped in, there was no one in the hall, a little second in a gray cloth shirt had already fallen asleep on the table.

"Ahem.." Ji Liao coughed twice.

Xiao Er woke up immediately, and before he opened his eyes, he said, "Here is the guest officer, and I still live in the hotel." ”

When he opened his eyes and saw Ji Liao's appearance, his face instantly pulled down, and he didn't know where the beggar came from.

"You..." He just wanted to open his mouth to blast Ji Liao out, but he saw Ji Liao holding a big ingot of silver in his raised hand, and immediately put on a smiling face, "Eh, please come in the guest officer!"

Ji Liao walked into the inn with an expressionless face, and said lightly, "Arrange an upper room for me, and fetch some water." ”

"Okay, okay, the little one knows!" Xiao Er nodded and said with a smile.

At noon the next day, there was a knock on Ji Liao's door.

"Come in!"

Yesterday's little two, holding a new set of clothes in his hand, walked in, and smiled at Ji Liao, "Guest officer, this is a dress made according to your size, you can see if it fits or not, if it doesn't fit, I'll take it back and change it." ”

"Put it on the table. Ji Liao said lightly.

"Yes!" Xiao Er answered, and turned to leave, but he was very happy in his heart, he got a lot of silver in the hands of this guest, and those silver were enough to buy dozens of sets of clothes with the best fabrics in the county, and this guest officer only needed a set of inner and outer clothes, and the rest would be all his.

Ji Liao put on new clothes and looked up and down twice, the size was good, this style was quite like the rich second generation in the mortal world.

Ji Liao didn't care about this, he slapped the storage bag with one hand, and the piece of silk silk appeared in his hand, and he searched for a long time near the moat, and finally found Ningyuan County in an inconspicuous place.

"It turned out to be more than 1,200 miles away from the end of the passenger boat, but the distance from the Purple Qi Sect is not too far behind. ”

Only then did Ji Liao know that they had deviated far from the route he had originally drawn up in the moat, and he looked at it for a long time, his fingers wandering back and forth on the silk silk, and finally re-formulated a route.

With this in mind, he walked out of the room, walked to the lobby of the inn, and sat down at random.

At this time, there were already several tables of guests in the lobby.

"Eh, have you heard?

At this time, a person said to Ling himself, who was at the same table.

Ji Liao raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect that something happened to the passenger boat and spread more than a thousand miles away so quickly.

"Tell me about it. The man obviously didn't know what had happened to the passenger boat, and immediately asked.

"It is said that the passenger boat has been driving in the moat for twenty-seven days, and it is about to come out, who knew that there were monsters in the moat, and it shattered the passenger boat with a roar!"

"Isn't it? A single scream can blow up a passenger boat? What kind of monster is that?"

"Who knows, these news still came from the people who escaped from the passenger boat. ”

"Really?"

"Look, you still don't believe it, this Heavenly Trench Passenger Boat was supposed to leave the Trench two months ago, but the Passenger Boat never came out, and then the city lord of the Trench City couldn't sit still, and sent people to look around, only to find an escaped immortal cultivator hundreds of miles away, and the situation that the person learned from that person was absolutely true. ”

"Hey, in that kind of place, I'm afraid only immortal cultivators can escape. ”

"Immortal cultivators have also died a lot, and the city lord of Heavenly Trench City has only found a few dozen people in his search. ”

"Immortal cultivators have died so much..."

Ji Liao was slightly surprised, and said in his heart, "It turns out that there is also a Heavenly Trench City in the eastern part of the Shendong, but I don't know if the Heavenly Trench City on both sides of the Heavenly Trench is the same city lord." ”

However, these are not what Ji Liao cares about, he was surprised that at this time, it was already two months after the passenger boat walked out of the moat, there were only three days left, he and Lu Zhu and a few people, it was incredible that they had been driving for more than two months, and Ji Liao was also scared, if he hadn't met Lu Zhu, I am afraid that he would really have to die in the moat.
