Chapter 7424 cold-blooded land
Judging from the accent, it should be the dialect of the mountains nearby.
Luo Xingchen could vaguely tell that the person shouting over there should be Mo Xiaoxiao.
"That's right over there."
Mo Xiaoxiao lay on the stretcher, raised his finger and pointed towards the front.
This mountain road is really difficult to walk. The direction Mo Xiaoxiao is pointing requires climbing over a small hill. The road is very slippery. If Luo Xingchen and his party were not all martial arts practitioners, they would not be able to walk on this mountain road.
"The sound is getting closer and closer. It seems that people in your village are looking for you everywhere."
Luo Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to look for people everywhere means that the village where Mo Xiaoxiao is located is not a cold-blooded place.
"Come on, let's go up and have a look."
Luo Xingchen and his party walked up.
After a while, they saw the light of torches on the nearby mountain road.
The person holding the torch was a young man, wearing clothes made of animal skins. His hair was pulled up. His dark skin and piercing eyes all showed that this man should be an excellent hunter.
"who?"
The young man also noticed Luo Xingchen and his party.
Seeing that moment, the young man's whole body tensed up, and his palms subconsciously pulled out the hunting knife on his waist.
"Brother Aniu."
Mo Xiaoxiao's crisp voice sounded.
When he heard Mo Xiaoxiao's voice, Brother A Niu immediately showed a smile on his face.
"Xiaoxiao, it's you!"
Brother Aniu walked quickly and came closer.
What caught his eye was Mo Xiaoxiao lying on a stretcher.
"Xiao Xiao, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you?"
Brother A Niu shouted angrily, his eyes flickering over Luo Xingchen and others, as if he had attributed the reason for "injuring" Mo Xiaoxiao to them.
"No one hit me, it was these big brothers and sisters who saved me." Mo Xiaoxiao said hurriedly.
"It turns out to be a benefactor!"
"Meet my benefactor."
A flash of surprise flashed in Brother Aniu's eyes, and he immediately saluted.
With just such a small episode, Luo Xingchen had already figured out the temperament of Brother A Niu.
This person has no scheming at all and appears to be extremely honest.
"We just happened to meet each other, it was just the right time." Luo Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"No matter what, you saved Xiaoxiao, please come back to the village with me and let us entertain you well." Brother Aniu said straightforwardly.
"Okay, that's what I meant." Luo Xingchen nodded.
There was no suspicion or defensiveness. Brother Aniu simply invited, and Luo Xingchen simply agreed. Luo Xingchen felt very relaxed and comfortable in this way of getting along.
Brother A Niu approached the stretcher and said enthusiastically: "Brothers, which one of you can take a rest? I'll help carry it."
"No need, we have plenty of strength."
The two guards smiled and refused. They were both strong warriors. They usually did strength work and fought with strength. It was quite easy to lift such a light little girl like Mo Xiaoxiao.
"Let me help."
Although the two guards refused, Brother Aniu still stepped forward, holding a section of the stretcher with his palms, and walked along, lifting it from time to time.
"Xiaoxiao, everyone in the village is scared. Everyone is looking for you outside. Fortunately, God has mercy on you, you are still alive." Brother A Niu sighed.
"Brother A Niu, where is my father?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked.
"Your father, he is also with everyone." Brother Aniu said.
"My dad is fine, that's good." Mo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, her original worries were finally relieved.
After walking for a while, a group of houses appeared in the clouds and mist ahead, all in an open space.
After looking at the surrounding terrain, Luo Xingchen found that this place was suitable as a place of seclusion.
This mountain village has waterfalls, streams, and a large area of open space nearby that can be reclaimed as farmland. Coupled with hunting, it is already a pretty good place to live.
However, it is far away from the town outside. It is not easy to go out to the mountains. If you want to buy some daily necessities, it will take a long time to go to the market to buy a batch.
Not long after Luo Xingchen and his party approached the town, Brother Aniu looked forward, stretched his neck and shouted.
"Big guys, Xiaoxiao is back!"
"Is Xiaoxiao okay?"
"Xiao Xiao is back?"
"There are so many people, some outsiders are here."
"Old village chief, old village chief, someone from outside has entered the village!"
"Call someone out quickly."
"..."
There was a hustle and bustle ahead, and the seemingly quiet village soon became lively.
After a while, the old village chief walked out of the village surrounded by everyone.
Brother A Niu walked a few steps quickly and came to the old village chief.
Most of Lao Cunzi's hair has turned gray, and although his face is full of wrinkles, he is in good spirits.
He held a walking stick in his hand and poked the ground hard.
"Aniu, what's going on on the other side?" the old village chief said slowly.
"Old village chief, Xiaoxiao was rescued. I'm leading them back to the village." Brother Aniu said with a smile.
"Since he is a small benefactor, he is a distinguished guest of our village!"
The old village chief coughed and walked towards Luo Xingchen and others.
"Dear guests, our village is not an ungrateful people. Please stay here and let us entertain you to show our gratitude."
The old village chief looked at Luo Xingchen and others.
…
Changping Village, Luojia.
Looking at the hourglass on the table, time passed not long ago.

But in Yang Ruoqing's perception, it seemed that a long, long time had passed.
Suddenly the sound of gongs was heard outside.
"Why are you still banging the gong? What happened?"
Wang Cuilian jumped up from the stool, her eyes widened.
Tuoba Xian also frowned slightly, and the movement of turning the beads on her wrist with her fingers paused for a moment, and then sped up again.
Yang Ruoqing also frowned.
What big thing could happen if you bang the gong in the middle of the night? Could it be... not possible!
"The polder has been broken. Folks, please be alert. The polder has been broken up there and it's going to flood!"
This time, Yang Ruoqing and the others heard clearly. The person shouting was a man in the village, and that man was the son of one of the village elders.
During the construction of the river embankment, I was with Yang Huazhong and the others every day. Now he came out to beat the gong and patrol the streets to warn. It seems that the flood is really coming!
Yang Ruoqing and the others rushed to the door of the yard and found Bao Suyun, Cao Bamei and the others on the opposite side of the road. They all got up. When they saw Yang Ruoqing, they quickly gathered towards the door of Luo's house.
The temporary settlement at the south end of the village also began to become noisy, with adults shouting and children crying, accompanied by the frightened cries of poultry and livestock, and the light of torches, creating a chaotic mess.
"Qing'er, I'm wet, I'm wet, what should I do?"
In the courtyard of Yang Huazhong's house, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Liu also came out. Mrs. Liu probably just got up from bed, her hair was disheveled and she was still wearing the clothes she wore for sleeping.
