Yes, Huwa looked very ordinary at the moment. He restrained his expression and did not use any magical power. He stood still a foot away. The girl was planting flowers on the hillside alone, and suddenly a strange man walked from the forest.
She must have felt very uneasy when she came out. Huwa didn't want to scare others, he seemed to be nervous for them.
Huwa saluted and replied: "I am a wanderer in a foreign land. I lost my way in the mountains and fields. I happened to come to this place. I don't know where I am?"
The girl pointed behind Huwa and said: "This mountain is called Cuizhen Mountain, and the village over there is called Cuizhen Village. Travelers, how can you enter the mountains? Bandits occasionally appear in this area, deep in the mountains
There are also many ferocious beasts that can hurt people.”
Huwa quickly explained: "This girl, I am not a bandit. I was in a caravan transporting goods from Yilang City to Lucheng. Unexpectedly, I was attacked by thugs on the way and encountered a ferocious beast.
, everyone fled, and I was the only one left who walked through the mountains and forests to get here."
The girl looked at him curiously and said, "Oh, the main road is far away from here. You must have been walking in the mountains and forests for many days."
Huwa: "Yes, I spent the winter in the mountains, so I have some skills, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get here safely."
When the girl looked at him, he also looked at the girl. The girl was not too tall, her forehead almost reached the tip of his nose, she was wearing simple clothes, her slim figure looked a little weak, and she was charming. She stood there
Among the flowers, it seemed that the breath of the flowers was her breath.
But she is undoubtedly an ordinary person. Huwa did not feel any magical power from her vitality rhythm, and it certainly did not look like she had the slightest cultivation level. The girl asked curiously: "What is your name?"
Huwa replied: "My name is Huwa, what's yours?"
This is the truth, but this name is too common, especially in this area. No one would associate him with the famous Mr. Peng Keng in Bayuan. In fact, what Huwa just said is also true.
To be honest, he didn't deliberately make anything up. He just omitted a lot of processes. He didn't want to reveal his identity and just wanted to talk to this girl with an ordinary face.
If Huwa didn't have the identity of Lord Pengkeng and didn't use magical powers, this would be his true appearance. A strange man came out of the forest. The girl looked calm and calm, but Huwa was very nervous. This feeling was strange.
It's too easy to describe. Standing in front of her, he was just that ordinary young man, but he was very willing to get close to her.
Maybe it was because of the scent of the flowers. Huwa came here after the scent in the wind, and the first person she met was her.
The girl replied: "People here call me Ayuan."
At this time, footsteps were heard down the hillside. An elder and several men ran over and shouted from a distance: "Ayuan, who are you talking to? Who is he?"
When Huwa was talking to Miss Ayuan, the villagers working in the fields at the foot of the mountain also saw that a stranger suddenly appeared here. They also found it strange and hurried over to ask. Huwa turned around and saluted again, politely
He said what he just explained again. He suddenly emerged from the forest alone, fearing that the local villagers would misunderstand him.
In fact, his worries were unnecessary. No one would misunderstand him as a bandit, and he didn't look like him at all. How could a bandit who killed people and stole goods be as humble and polite as him? His smile when he spoke made people feel very close to him.
Not to mention running into a village alone without any weapons.
The elder's name is Zifan. He is the patriarch of this village, and the locals call him Fan Bo. Cuizhen Village belongs to the Yilang branch of the Bai'e clan, and Fan Bo is certainly not Bai'e or Yilang.
The clan leader is just the leader of this village. After hearing this, he asked again: "Your accent doesn't sound like a local, does it come from a far away place?"
Huwa sighed: "Yes, I am not from Yilang City. Nor am I from Fanshi Country. My hometown is in the distant Xiangshi Country. I came here after the national war in Bayuan."
Fan Bo also sighed: "It turns out that you were living here because of the war. You were supported by a caravan, but you encountered bandits again... You have been walking in the mountains and forests for many days, right? You finally walked out of the mountains.
Come to our Cuizhen Village, rest in the village today, have a good meal and then make plans."
There are many bandits in Fanshi Kingdom, but this is also compared to the other four countries in Bayuan. Village life in most places here is still peaceful, and the folk customs are also very simple. The geographical location of Cuizhen Village is very remote.
On the edge of the mountains and away from the main road between the city walls, there are almost no outside guests visiting. People like Huwa have not met one for several years.
Fanbo obviously regarded Huwa as a distressed person who had finally found a village for help, so he naturally provided help. In the national war two years ago, only Fan Shiguo was not involved in the five kingdoms of Ba Yuan, but
have also been affected.
When Shaowu's army entered Xiangshi Kingdom from Jinsha City, they defeated Baiju City, Guxiong City and Feihong City along the way. These three city outlines happened to be located on the border of Xiangshi Kingdom and Fanshi Kingdom. Shaowu's first
To march from here is also to cut off the connection between Xiangshi Kingdom and Fanshi Kingdom as soon as possible.
After Shaowu captured the city wall, it did not cause much turmoil in the local area, but it could not have no impact at all. This was a national war after all. And before the army came to kill, the local people were inevitably panicked. At that time,
Many people fled from Xiangshi Kingdom to Fanshi Kingdom to avoid the disaster of war.
Fan Shiguo did not stop the refugees from pouring into the territory, not only because these people carried a large amount of property, but also because they themselves were important strategic resources. Even the most prosperous and wealthy areas in Bayuan were relatively small in this era.
The land is still vast but sparsely populated. A larger population means stronger national power and production resources.
Fan Shiguo allowed the influx of these people and let them live in various places. Some people reclaimed wasteland and settled there. Some people encountered bandits on the way and were robbed of their property, and even became slaves. Some people survived in various city walls.
Many caravans like to hire such people because they are more obedient and the pay they need is relatively cheaper.
After the Shaowu Army captured the three cities of Baiju, Guxiong, and Feihong, the then Fan Jun Fan Kang ordered the closure of the border passes. No more people were escaping from the war, but those who had entered Fanshi Kingdom
People could not go back, and it was not until the new king Fan Chong succeeded to the throne at the Baichuan City Meeting that he ordered the border to be reopened.
Some of the refugees who fled to Fanshi Kingdom returned to their hometowns, but many people did not go back, and it is probably difficult for them to go back. In this era, long-distance migration was not so easy, and they have been homeless since then.
It’s a foreign country. So Huwa’s introduction was completely in line with the actual situation. Fan Bo took it for granted that he had misunderstood, but Huwa didn’t explain much.
Fan Bo brought Hu Wa back to the village, let him spend the night in a warehouse in his courtyard, and treated him to a hot dinner. The next day's breakfast was also served by Fan Bo.
This remote village is the same as many places Huwa has visited. Everyone, including the clan leader, needs to work hard after breakfast every day. Before going out, Fan Bo asked Huwa: "My child, what are your plans now? Do you want to continue to return home?"
Are you looking for a caravan in Yilang City, or do you want to return to your hometown?"
Huwa sighed: "I can't go back to that caravan. As for my hometown, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a long time. Uncle Fan, if I can stay here for a while, I won't live and eat in vain. What kind of work do I have to do?"
They can do it all.”
In Fan Bo's view, it was natural for Huwa to make such a request. The caravan where Huwa originally stayed had been robbed by bandits, and he was the only one to escape alone, living in a strange place, and his hometown was even more complicated.
It's thousands of miles away. Huwa doesn't have any belongings on him, so it's impossible for him to go back. Of course, he hopes that he can be taken in here.
Fan Bo took Huwa in. He said to Huwa: "It is lucky to be able to keep a useful life. It is fate to live in our Cuizhen Village. You can live here for the time being and think about other things slowly."
way."
Maybe it was because of the feeling he had when he first saw Miss A Yuan that Huwa felt very friendly when he saw Fan Bo. It even reminded him of Tian Xiao, an old man from Baixi Village back then. Fan Bo looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.
, is not an ordinary person, he has a second level of cultivation. Although he is not young, he is still light and healthy. He is the only monk in this village of hundreds of people.
When a person in distress passes by, many simple tribesmen in the village will offer help. However, when taking in a person of unknown origin, Huwa is somewhat worried that the other party will be wary. Therefore, when talking to Fan Bo, Huwa could have quietly used a magical power.
, this magical power has no trace, but it can invisibly make the other party have a certain emotion and agree with what you say.
Huwa's magical power is self-enlightened, and its source is the ability to sense the true emotions in other people's hearts. After self-realizing Chunyang Jue and practicing it, these magical methods have evolved. He can make the other party feel him invisibly.
emotions, and then arouse some kind of resonance, everything happens unconsciously.
This is a method that can detect the human heart and control the mind at a close distance. It is called "mind communication" by some monks in later generations. However, Huwa did not control Fan Bo's mind and found that there was no need for it. He felt it during the conversation.
Sensing the other party's sincerity, Fan Bo believed what he said and took the initiative to take him in.
And Huwa has no other intentions or purposes. He just wants to stay here. After walking through so many places in Bayuan, Huwa finally wants to really stop and return to the real people. Even Huwa himself can't describe it.
Why does Qing feel this way? He is not tired. As a seventh-level monk, how can he feel tired? He can even live without food for many years. (To be continued...)
