A winding road that runs through the entire forest.

The road is lined with lush greenery, with branches that stretch overhead. Under the sunlight, the whole path is dappled with light and shadow.

The sound of horses' hooves and wheels, from far to near. I saw a group of about 20 people, who seemed to be very anxious.

These 20 or so men, all of them in good health, carried weapons. They had two wagons, both of which were for the purpose of pulling goods, uncovered and unroofed, like carts, which were attached to the horses. Large wooden boxes inlaid with iron were built on top of the carriage, making it extremely heavy. Such a car also has a specific name, which is called a dart car.

On each dart car, there is also a flag erected, with four big characters on it: "Changwei Dart Bureau". It seems that it is the group of Changwei Dart Bureau.

However, it has just rained heavily, the ground is muddy and slippery, and you must always pay attention to your feet, otherwise you are likely to fall. In such a situation, even if they are anxious, they can't speed up.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Wang Yingying urged vigorously, and kept looking around. Today is too evil, so he can't be careless. Now, he just wants to get out of here quickly.

Although he urged him to be fierce, the other people were not dissatisfied, everyone was old, not only Wang Yingying was anxious, but other people were also anxious.

Everyone held on to the dart cart and pushed it forward, hoping that the speed would be faster.

didn't go far, Wang Yingying's heart sank.

A faint mist quietly rose. Before you know it, it's starting to get thicker and thicker.

"Hurry up and !!"

At this time, not only Wang Yingying urged, but others also began to roar. Immediately, except for five or six who were in charge of guarding, everyone else joined the ranks of the dart carts.

Everyone didn't care about the muddy and slippery roads, and they didn't care about falling, but they just sped up.

However, compared to their speed, it seems that the fog is getting thicker faster.

Soon, everyone was once again enveloped in this thick fog.

"Alright, slow down, be careful, everyone, don't get separated. Wang Yingying's tone was worried and helpless.

The rest of the dart masters were also frustrated, and they had already learned the difficulty of this fog before. Now, one more lesson.

A wolf howl rang out all around. When it was far and near, everyone couldn't help but be vigilant, and those who could spare their hands pulled out their weapons and faced the outside.

Occasionally, it seems that a beast shadow appears in front of people's eyes, flashes by, and soon disappears without a trace.

Lao Wang walked up quickly and said in Wang Yingying's ear: "Boss, I'm afraid we are being targeted by wild wolves." ”

Wang Yingying nodded with a heavy face: "Let everyone be careful." ”

Lao Wang nodded solemnly, and then retreated. Wang Yingying couldn't help but take a sip: "These dog-day beasts, in such a fog, I don't know how to see clearly." ”

However, this time it was not what he expected.

Soon, as if an invisible hand, it stirred up the thick fog. Soon, the fog quickly became lighter and thinner.

Then, he saw wolves on both sides of the road, in front of and behind, with green eyes, looking straight at them.

"Shhh

Before they knew it, they were surrounded by wolves.

Looking at it, there must be at least twenty or thirty of them, all of them like calves, and I am afraid that they are not less than 100 catties.

And, that's what they can see. I'm afraid, there are many things that cannot be seen, which are hidden in the shadows, observing them.

Wang Yingying took two steps back suddenly, pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly: "Ready~~"

Suddenly, almost everyone pulled out their weapons and pointed them outside, naturally forming a circle.

The horse pulling the cart neighed, his eyes full of horror, and he was uneasy to break free from the reins, and was pulled hard.

The wolves were ready to move, and wolf howls rang out from all directions. Some of them are even lower in their bodies, with cracked teeth and mouths, and their claws are scraping the ground, looking eager to try.

......

As the sun sets, the sky is red.

What greeted me was a golden yellow. As soon as the wind blew, in a rustling sound, the fields rose and fell like golden waves.

In this golden ocean, a village stands like an island in the ocean.

In the village, the thatched houses and tiled houses are intertwined, and in front of each house, there is a flat land as a small courtyard, some large and some small. Or one room is used alone, surrounded by a fence, or several rooms are shared. There are wells in the small courtyard, and some of them have melon vine shelves on them, and the emerald green melon vines bear heavy fruits, which makes people satisfied at a glance.

In the village, there are not only houses, small courtyards, and roads. There are also vegetable gardens, interspersed with them, adding a bit of life. A few bamboo forests divide the village, making the village look a little scattered.

The houses and roads and vegetable gardens are not regular, and those roads are also winding, with ups and downs. In any case, in the end, the whole village was tightly surrounded by irregular earthen walls, leaving only two gates in front and back, and an attic was built on them.

A small stream, coming from the west, half-encircles the village and then heads southeast.

Ducks and geese wander by the stream, or float on the surface of the stream. There were also people who came to bathe, both adults and children, all with bare buttocks, and a fierce man stabbed down, causing a burst of laughter and scolding from the laundry women by the stream.

An old ox squinted its eyes by the tree, twitching its tail to chase away the annoying cowflies.

It's a rich village, and it's all so beautiful.

And at this moment, Devil Cry came here.

He led a big black horse, followed by the delicate and lovely Cai Wei, and the other hand held a long knife, walking between the strangers.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of the villagers.

This person's face is not good, especially the narrow eyes, which are like a pair of invisible knives scraping on people.

As soon as he approached the village, he immediately attracted three big dogs, who barked at the ghosts, holding their tails and not daring to approach.

The villagers heard the voice, the strong young and middle-aged people approached, and the children, who were running and jumping in the courtyard on the road, were dragged back to the house by the old man and the woman.

Five men with bows and arrows on their backs and spears and knives stood at the entrance of the village, faintly blocking the way of Oni Cry and preventing Oni Cry from approaching the village.

They are hunters in the village, and although they are hunters, they own not a lot of land, and they are respected.

During the busy farming season, the people in the village always take the lead in helping their fields in advance, and then turn back to their own fields.

And all of this is because these hunters are not just hunting in the mountains.

The responsibility of the hunters is very heavy, the prey they hunt in the mountains, the meat, in addition to their own food, there is also a part of the sale, the rest will be distributed to the neighbors free of charge, those skins, will be taken to the nearby county to be sold by the assembly, part of it will be kept for their own use, part of it will be used to help the village buy seeds and farm tools, and so on.

And these, these are some small things in daily life, just used to maintain the daily needs of the hunters.

The more important duty of the hunters is to patrol the mountains on a daily basis, if there are dangerous beasts or monsters, they must inform the villagers to pay attention to safety, and then find a way to drive away or hunt these beasts and monsters.

During the harvest season, they would take the villagers to patrol the fields day and night, using bows and arrows and sickles and axes to protect their crops for most of the year.

And whenever an enemy comes to attack, such as robbers and bandits. They had to take the young men and negotiate with the robbers and bandits, or leave the village alone, and find a way to go to the county seat or the state city to seek help from the officers and soldiers, in short, to find a way to keep the village.

Now, Devil Cry, a person who is not easy to mess with at first glance, has come here, and they are naturally responsible for hospitality.
