Chapter 37 Weird Village

No one knows what Mo Qi said inside, and no one knows what he did. Mo Yu cried in his arms, leaned against the temple door, closed his eyes and meditated.

A full hour passed before faint footsteps could be heard from inside the courtyard. Mo Yu opened his eyes and waited quietly.

Soon, footsteps approached, and Mo Qi came out of the door humming an unknown ballad. He was alone, without anything, except for the bulging around his waist. Mo Yu knew that it was a ghost snake.

Although Mo Qi tried his best to hide it, Mo Yu still saw his red and swollen eyes. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Mo Qi's tattered clothes up and down, and frowned slightly: "I'm going to get you dressed first."

Hearing this, Mo Qi raised his head to face Mo Yu and gave a heavy hum. He tried his best to curl the corners of his mouth to both sides and wanted to smile, but couldn't.

At this moment, things have changed and people have changed. The little young man has a maturity that does not belong to his age. He knows how to bear all the pain without showing it, just like the boy in black was reborn back then.

Mo Yu felt this and raised his hand to touch Mo Beggar's head, but he stopped and patted his shoulder instead, saying solemnly: "The world is windy and rainy, life and death are uncertain. You followed me, do you regret it?"

"No!" Mo Beggar shook his head vigorously, "Brother, if I become a burden to you, please don't hesitate."

Burden, such a humble and stinging word, it seems that Mo Qi is still incompetent to himself and is still brooding over the fact that he watched his grandfather being humiliated and was unable to take revenge afterwards.

If you say it lightly, it will be a knot in your heart; if you say it seriously, it will be a demon in your heart!

Mo Yu's heart was heavy, but his expression remained normal. He patted Mo Qi's shoulder again, turned around, bowed to the temple, and then said, "Let's go."

Mo Qi responded and followed Mo Yu down the wild path. The two of them went down the mountain. Their figures became fainter and fainter as they walked, and soon disappeared. At this point, in the deserted mountain temple, only the past was left to the wind.

After going down the mountain, in order to buy some clothes for Mo Qi, Mo Yu took Mo Qi and walked along the road for an hour. When they got near the official road, Mo Yu waved and stopped, leaning against a tree at the edge of the official road to wait. Mo Qi followed quietly.

Chiyang City is already a den of dragons and tigers. If you kill the nephew of the city lord, it is inevitable to put up a wanted list. Not to mention Du Gonghu, as a general, he has lost face. At this time, he can't wait to find Mo Yu, scratch his skin and cramp to vent his hatred.

I couldn't return to Chiyang, and the surrounding small towns were too far away, so I could only choose the official road and wait for some businessmen to exchange it.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the two of them were waiting by the side of the road. Horse-drawn carriages were gradually running along the official road, and some people were driving or riding horses. All kinds of people began to appear.

Mo Yu took out his money and picked out the carriages pulling cloths. Most of these vehicles were for importing materials, but there were also some finished clothes for sale, but not many.

We stopped three carriages, but none of them had clothes suitable for Mo Qi's figure. They were either too big or too wide, and the colors were too bright and not suitable for walking.

Mo Yu was still insisting on waiting, but Mo Qi couldn't bear it. He quietly pulled Mo Yu's sleeves and said in a low voice: "Brother, there's no need to work hard. I have enough for you. When I get to the next city, it's not too late to buy more."

.”

In response, Mo Yu did not answer, silently waved his hand and continued to wait. Mo Qi had no choice but to run further away and look out in advance, saving Mo Yu the trouble.

Half an hour later, a satisfactory carriage finally stopped.

The boss is a newly opened cloth shop in Chiyang. This time he came out to purchase goods and planned to recruit a few errand boys. He just happened to make some new clothes and prepare to distribute them.

After all, he is a businessman whose main purpose is to make money. When Mo Yu took out enough money, the boss smiled from ear to ear and spread out all the new clothes for him to choose from.

Mo Qi rummaged through it and finally chose a gray cloth suit, which was not bright and ordinary. He took the clothes and hid in a distance to change.

While Mo Qiu was changing clothes, Mo Yu took out his money and exchanged some dry food and water with his boss for the trip.

Soon, Mo Qi changed his clothes and stood in front of Mo Yu with a new look. His hair was tied randomly with straw ropes. He was dressed in gray clothes. He had a thin and straight body, and a delicate face with narrowed eyes and a raised mouth.

"Not bad." Mo Yu looked at it for a long time and said simply, then handed the dry food and water bag to Mo Qi and asked him to carry it.

Mo Qi was very happy to receive his eldest brother's approval. He obediently carried his luggage and followed closely behind.

I had already planned the route last night and just walked south along the official road. As for where to go specifically, I just had to watch as I walked and follow nature.

The two of them spoke few words along the way and tried to avoid contact with passers-by. They only stopped to rest when they passed teahouses.

In this way, without any carriage or horse, we walked for four whole days.

On the fifth day, the dry food they had on them had run out. They were in the deserted mountains and ridges, with no village in front of them or any shops behind them. They were only surrounded by lush forests and birds.

Mo Yu turned around and glanced at Mo Qi. The latter looked exhausted and had no internal strength. After five days of running around, it was normal for him to be extremely tired, but he didn't make a sound and kept gritting his teeth.

Mo Yu stopped, touched the water bag on his waist, took a sip, then turned back to Mo Qi, who was looking at him, and said, "Wait for me here, I'll get some food back."

Mo Qi took a deep breath, tried his best to stand up straight, and said softly: "I'm not tired yet, I'll go with my eldest brother."

Mo Yu shook his head and didn't answer. He put the kettle into Mo Qi's hand, jumped onto the trunk of a big tree nearby, jumped again, and jumped to the top of the tree crown, looking around at the surrounding environment.

On the ground, Mo Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and watched with envy as Mo Yu disappeared before his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, took the water bottle and found a tree root to sit down, and waited quietly.

At the top of the tree crown, Mo Yu tried his best to relax and put his feet on a few tree forks. He climbed up to the sky and took in all the scenery around him.

The forest the two of them were staying in now stretched for several miles, and was lush and green. Fortunately, the end could be seen at a glance, and it was not an endless border.

Occasionally there were birds flying in the sky, and if you listened carefully you could hear the screams of animals. Mo Yu observed it for a moment, then selected a place where birds often flew, jumped up and jumped a few times, and moved to the top of the big tree crowns.

Soon, as the figures approached, the birds fluttered their wings and flew away, but they lingered in the air and refused to leave.

Mo Yu looked down and saw that there were several bird nests built between the branches of the trees, and there were more or less bird eggs lying in the nests.

There must be room for success in everything you do as a person, and the same goes for birds.

Mo Yu didn't take it out from one nest, but took out one from each nest, no more, no less, and he took exactly four in total.

Raising his head and whistling at the anxiously chirping birds, Mo Yu jumped off the tree and walked towards the nearby bush. There happened to be some game red fruits there, which must have been one of the reasons why these birds made their nests here.

I picked some red fruits, looked up at the sky, and saw that noon had passed. I turned around and headed towards the path I came from.

When he came back, Mo Qi was already sleeping lightly against the tree trunk. Mo Yu approached quietly and looked at the other person's messy hair, with unbearable eyes flashing. Without disturbing him, Mo Yu quietly picked up the kettle and left.

When Mo Qi opened his eyes in a daze, the sun had already passed. He stood up in a panic and looked around. Mo Yu's faint voice came from beside him: "Food and water are next to you. The eggs are a little cold. Let's eat some."

That’s it, let’s continue on our way.”

Turning around, Mo Yu was sitting cross-legged under a tree not far away, crying on his knees and gently wiping the blade of his sword.

This was the first time that Mo Qi saw Youqi's true appearance. He was shocked by the black scabbard and sword body. Is there such a strange sword in the world? Although the blade has a gap, the biting coldness is really compelling!

"It makes you cry." As if he knew that Mo Qi was looking this way, Mo Yu didn't raise his head and said to himself: "When a weapon is given a name, it is worthy of your life and death."

Hearing this, Mo Qi raised his hand to caress his chest, touching the Youshe dagger with care, thinking secretly in his heart: "This dagger was given to me by my eldest brother, I think it is worthy of my life and death! Youshe, is this your name?"

With a slight hook in his mouth, Mo Qi picked up the food covered with leaves on the ground next to him and ate it with relish.

After a while, the two of them finished their rest and got back on the road. They walked along the forest for half an hour and finally came out. They stood at the edge of the woods and looked into the distance. They were delighted to see wisps of smoke rising straight into the sky, just a few hundred meters away.

"If there is smoke, there must be someone there." Mo Qi put his hand on his brow, looking at the green smoke and said happily.

Mo Yu also saw the scene in the distance, nodded slightly, and walked towards that direction, with Mo Qi following closely behind.

Perhaps someone came in and out frequently and made an irregular path in the wilderness. The two of them followed the path and quickly approached the place where the smoke was being smoked.

It's a village!

There is a big tree with a crooked neck growing at the entrance of the village, with a winding trunk and slanted leaves. Under the tree, a smooth bluestone lies quietly, with the word "Mr. Zhaofeng" engraved on it, which must be the name of the village.

After standing at the entrance of the village and observing for a long time, there was not a single figure. Listening carefully, there was not even the sound of roosters crowing or dogs barking, which seemed a bit strange.

Mo Yu frowned slightly, moved his eyes back and forth, and murmured: "The situation is somewhat abnormal."

Mo Qi also noticed something different. He tilted his head and waited for Mo Yu's decision. He would go in when his eldest brother told him to go in, and he would retreat when his eldest brother told him to retreat.

Mo Yu frowned and thought for a long time. He tilted his head and looked at Mo Qi. Seeing that he seemed to let him make the decision, he finally focused his eyes and walked towards the village. Mo Qi saw this and followed without any objection.

Whether it's safety or danger, if you don't even have the courage to find out, how can you talk about revenge? Jianghu, the first thing is to be brave!

The two walked lightly, with their weapons in hand, always ready to unsheath them, bypassing the fence and entering the village.

At first sight, the village road was in a mess, with clothes, broken bowls, and some overturned farm tools scattered in a chaotic mess. The doors of each house were wide open, as if they had just been ransacked by bandits.

The two of them had this thought at the moment, and Lin Shen was observing the surroundings.

Most of the villages are inhabited by poor people, and they are not as exquisite as big houses. A few rows of simple wooden huts and thatched huts can be seen at a glance.

Mo Yu pulled Mo Qi over, carefully approached a farmhouse, stood at the corner outside the house, picked up a stone from the ground, and shot it towards the farmhouse.

"Bang~"

The stones were shot into the house, making a dull sound. For a long time, there was no movement. It must be that no one was there!

Mo Yu raised his hand to signal Mo Qi to stay where he was. He jumped up and quickly ran to the other side of the room. He took a quick glance at the situation in the room and found that no one was there!

In this way, he no longer had much worries. Mo Yu said hello and entered the house first. He looked at the tables and chairs, pots and pans scattered on the floor, and even a few steamed buns that were trampled on the ground.

"Are they really bandits?"

Mo Yu touched his chin with his hand and thought, Mo Qi also came in and took in the entire scene in the room, looking around in astonishment.

"Let's go and check out other houses!" Ignoring Mo Qi's shock, Mo Yu turned around and went out, walking towards other farmhouses around. Mo Qi was worried and quickly turned around to follow.

The situation of the five houses in a row was the same as that of the first house. The furniture was in pieces, but what was unusual was that some money and silk were thrown aside casually like shoes. Such behavior was definitely not the work of gangsters!

The two of them were standing in the middle of the village, thinking solemnly, when suddenly several dog barks came from not far away, the sound was shrill and whimpering, accompanied by several wild laughs.
