C6 The strange three mountain village

After bidding farewell to my master, I returned home and began to take care of my things. After all, it was my first time out, so I was both nervous and excited. He didn't know how many days he would be gone, so how could he ask his parents for leave? I can't tell you the truth, it's a problem.

After much deliberation, I decided to leave my parents a note and sneak out.

When I woke up, the sky was already starting to brighten. I had to leave before anyone woke up so that I wouldn't be seen by others.

Speaking of which, it was strange that Little Yellow was at home tonight. It was as if it knew that I was going to travel, so it followed me closely, looking at its pitiful appearance. Not only that, I didn't feel at ease with it at home, so I decided to bring it with me.

I've never been to Sanshan Village, but I know the general location. After a day's time, I finally arrived at the village entrance. Beside the village entrance, there was a wooden sign with the words "Three Mountains Village" written on it.

When I entered the village, it was almost dark, and there were few people on the street, only a few shops on either side of the street gave off a faint glow. I thought that since I was not familiar with the place, I might as well find an inn to stay for the time being and get to know the situation.

I found a small inn called Happy House and went in. I was greeted by a woman in her thirties. When she saw me, she didn't even say anything. Her eyes were already narrowed into crescent moons, and her face was full of smiles. A bell-like voice came out from her mouth. "Little brother, you want to stay here?"

This voice was truly comfortable to listen to, and it was also sweet to hear. With such a beauty in this shop, the business would definitely be good. Thinking of this, I hurriedly replied, "Find me a guest room and order some food."

"Okay, I'll find someone to take you to your room first, and you'll be able to eat later," the beautiful woman said, turning around and shouting into the room, "Little Sixie, hurry and take the guests to your room."

Then a young man in his twenties came out of the house. He must have been about my age, with a pair of rolling eyes that made him look like a shrewd man. I followed the shop assistant to her room. The shop assistant said, "Take a good rest first. The food will be here soon." With that, he left.

I looked around the room. The furnishings were very simple. There was an eight-seater table, a bed, and a stool. It didn't seem to be anything else.

After walking all day, I was really tired. I leaned against the quilt, closed my eyes and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but I heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in!"

She placed the dishes on the table one by one. As she was busy, she said, "Our restaurant is not big, so our business is not bad. Little Six and I are busy, so if you can't take care of us, please take care of us."

From chatting with the landlady, I learned that her husband had died of illness, and that he had left the small shop to make a living. Because it was in the village, there were very few shops. Only a few customers would come during the dry goods season. Usually, they would earn some money by selling food and wine.

I asked her about the son, but she faltered, hesitated, and was reluctant to talk about it. I wanted to ask her a few more questions, but she actually cleared up the table and left.

After the Lady Boss left, I decided to take advantage of the night sky to go out and understand the situation. I wanted to see if I could find Xiang'er's grave and visit her there. Thinking of this, my heart tightened and I felt an indescribable pain.

Three Mountain Village is not small, bigger than our Pear Tree Town. The village is very quiet at night, and we can occasionally hear a few birds chirping.

When I was about half a mile from the village, I saw a mass of graves.

Although I was not very afraid to walk alone to a desolate graveyard at night, I could not help but feel my scalp tingle when I saw the dense grass and the tombstones looming in the darkness.

I gritted my teeth and bravely walked over. I was not afraid, I still had Huang to accompany me. Thinking of this, I reached into my cloth bag and patted his head, just to give myself courage.

When I reached the grave, I used the moonlight to lie down in front of the tombstone to look for Mo Xiang's name one by one. If I didn't do this, I wouldn't have been able to see her clearly.

Just then, a cool breeze blew, and I looked up and around me. A shadow appeared in front of a tombstone, slowly drifting toward me.

I felt as if my heart were about to leap out of my chest. My vision turned black, and just as I was about to faint, a black shadow floated up to me and supported me with its hands.

"Brother Xiaotian, don't be scared, I'm Mo Xiang!" The shadow spoke.

I looked and saw that it really was Mo Xiang'er. This black shadow was the Xiang'er I had been thinking about day and night. I embraced Xiang'er in my arms. I no longer felt like I was about to faint, and didn't take Xiang'er to be a ghost at all.

After a long while, Xiang'er raised her head and asked me, "Brother Xiaotian, are you here to take revenge for me?"

So I told Xiang'er about learning from my master, but I also hid the Art of Soulreaper from her. I promised my master that I wouldn't let anyone know about our relationship, so I didn't want to go back on my words.

Xiang'er told me about the appearance and characteristics of the strong man, as well as his frequent visits. I decided to meet him the next day and teach him a lesson first.

After returning to the inn, it was already the latter half of the night. I gently went upstairs, afraid that I would wake up the other guests.

Maybe it was because Xiao Huang was unhappy after bumping around in the cloth bag for the whole day. After coming out, he ignored me and went to find a place to rest with his eyes closed.

I didn't even bother to take off my clothes as I lay down on the bed. Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard a woman's moan coming from downstairs, accompanied by the sound of a man's breathing.

Although his voice was very soft, his hearing and vision had improved a lot since he started practicing martial arts with his master.

How could such a thing happen in the middle of the night, especially in an inn? Could it be that the Lady Boss wasn't a woman of a good family, and was doing a business that sold her body? Even if it is, it is none of my business. Thinking of this, I decided to not listen to anything outside my window and just concentrate on sleeping.

When dawn arrived, he ate something casually. Then, he took Little Yellow with him and headed straight for the small market of the crickets.

Other than liking beautiful women, this second young strong man loved crickets the most. He had spent a lot of money fighting crickets.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a large empty space surrounded by people. From time to time, people would shout, "Bite it to death! Bite it to death!"

I loudly asked, "Who is the hero?" The group of people were stunned and they all cast their gazes at me. At this time, a person walked out from inside. As they walked, they asked, "Why are you looking for laozi?" There was no need to ask, this was what a strong man was.

This evil young master's looks were not bad. They were clean and white. No matter how one looked at it, he did not look like a local ruffian or hooligan. Truly, one could not judge a book by its cover!

The thought that he was the one who killed Xiang'er sent me into a rage. I didn't say anything and just went up to him and gave him a punch. Blood flowed down the corner of Zhuang Zi's mouth. When the strong man saw the blood, he also became angry, and we started fighting. The strong man was beaten up by me, so much so that he couldn't even stand up anymore.

I can't kill him. I promised Xiang'er that I would make her take revenge with her own hands.

The robust man knelt on the ground, desperately begging for forgiveness. "I have no enmity with Big Brother, please forgive me. If I offended Big Brother in any way, please enlighten me."

I smiled sinisterly and asked him, "Do you know Mo Xiang?"

This time, the robust man did not say anything. His face was deathly pale, and his entire body was trembling. After a long time, I looked up and said, "I just like her, and I didn't expect her to rather die than submit to me, and I really regret it a lot. After she died, I burned paper money every year for her to forgive me.

I looked at Zhuang Zi thoughtfully. Although he was a playboy, he wasn't so bad that he couldn't be saved. At the very least, he still had some conscience, hoping that Xiang'er would teach him a lesson in the future and not take his life.
