Chapter 2048 A sneak attack in the middle of the night
Vanilla Village was very quiet at night, and the villagers were all asleep. However, Li Xuan sneaked out of the house and drank and ate meat with Kuang Hu in the woods outside the village.
A wild boar leg was hung on the fire, and the oil dripping from time to time made the flames make a "squeaking" sound. As the flames jumped, the aroma of meat penetrated into people's noses, and the gluttons in their stomachs trembled.
Li Xuan took out his waist knife and cut off the fattest piece of meat without any ceremony. Without dipping it in any seasoning, he put it directly into his mouth and started chewing it.
Kuanghu glared at Li Xuan with dissatisfaction: "Hey, this is the wild boar I shot. You actually ate the most tender meat. This is too much."
"Don't be so stingy." Li Xuan said vaguely, then grabbed the wine bottle at Kuanghu's feet and took a big gulp.
The strong liquor poured into his throat, stimulating the aroma of the meat, which made Li Xuan feel extremely happy. It felt really good to have fragrant barbecue and fine wine as a late-night snack.
Kuanghu took back the wine bottle and said angrily: "You are just a monster. This wine is meant to be tasted in small sips, not like you."
Seeing his distressed look, Li Xuan couldn't stop laughing. He had eaten and drank enough anyway, so he simply lay down on the ground and took a nap comfortably.
When he was on Earth, in the Small Thousand Immortal Realm, and in the Middle Thousand Immortal Realm, Li Rui was like a lone wolf, always walking alone.
Apart from beautiful women, he really doesn't have many friends.
However, this time he was reincarnated as a baby, and with his little growth, his mentality slowly changed. Not only did he accept the affection given to him by Li Yong and Ali, he even tried to make friends.
Kuang Hu is really a suitable person to make friends with. He is enthusiastic, straightforward and has almost no shortcomings except for his tendency to brag. But it is this problem of bragging that makes Li Xuan a little unbearable.
After a few sips of wine, Kuanghu began to brag about his adventures again. This time he was telling the story of fighting snowman monsters in the ice and snow in the north.
"...The snowman monster's big feet stepped down viciously. Of course I couldn't let him succeed. How do you think I dealt with him?" Speaking of the happy part, Kuanghu asked Li Xuan proudly.
Li Xuan almost fell asleep. He didn't hear Kuang Hu's question at all. He just answered hesitantly: "Sliding shovel?"
Kuang Hu was a little annoyed and threw the wild boar bone in his hand and hit Li Xuan on the head: "Hey, are you listening to me?"
Li Xuan opened his eyes and asked sleepily: "Are you done? Then I'll go back to sleep..." He stood up unsteadily as he spoke, making Kuanghu angry almost to death.
"Is my story that boring?" Kuanghu asked depressedly, his head hanging down.
"I'm sleepy. Let's go back to sleep first. You should rest early after your patrol." Li Xuan made an excuse and ran away.
"You brat." Kuang Hu suppressed all the stories he was filled with and raised his middle finger at Li Xuan's back in frustration.
Li Xuan did not go home, but walked to the entrance of the village and waited silently.
Soon, a swift black shadow suddenly flashed out of the darkness and rushed towards him like lightning.
Li Xuan stretched out his arm, and the black shadow fell steadily on his arm. Under the moonlight, the ghost's skin turned an iron-green color, and there was a hint of restlessness on its ugly face.
Not long ago, the ghost sent a signal to Li Xuan.
That is a unique sound frequency between slave and master, which cannot be heard by others.
"Zhizhi!" The ghost stood on Li Xuan's arm and made a quick sound.
When he finished speaking, Li Xuan sneered: "Finally here...from which direction did you come?"
The ghost stretched out his arm and pointed to the north, which is the only way from the village to Xuejia Town.
"How many people are there?" Li Xuan asked again.
The ghost stretched out two palms and turned them over three times in a row. He only had three fingers on each palm, which meant that there were twelve people in total.
"Very good." Li Xuan sneered, "I accepted these twelve lives with interest."
He whispered a few words to the ghost, who screamed excitedly, jumped off his arm, and slipped into the darkness and disappeared.
Li Xuan found a hidden place to ambush and waited calmly for the thieves to fall into the trap.
Not long after, two dark figures appeared at the entrance of the village. They took three steps, then stopped, and then five steps, and waited. At a glance, they knew they were scouts responsible for snooping around.
Li Xuan let them pass by. What he wanted to do was to catch them all and eradicate them. He didn't mind letting the two scouts live a little longer.
Soon, several insect sounds sounded in the village, which was the signal sent by the scouts.
After receiving the signal, ten more black figures appeared. They were all wearing black costumes and their faces were covered with black cloth. However, judging from the size, they were both humans and monsters.
The most conspicuous person among them did not hide at all. He was wearing a black robe, and his whole body was shrouded in the robe. He looked very eerie and strange.
"That must be Wang Feimo." Li Xuan thought to himself.
This group of people soon arrived at the entrance of the village. They did not attack the village immediately, but started whispering. Li Xuan hid not far from them and heard their conversation clearly.
"Everyone, listen up, we have two main targets. One is the survivor who stayed last time, and the other is a boy named Li Xuan." Wang Feimo laid out the task in a low voice.
"We already know the kid's home, but where is he alive?" someone asked.
Wang Feimo said: "I don't know either. If we really can't find it, we will kill all the people in the village and leave no one alive."
When Li Xuan heard this, murderous intent appeared on his face.
"Don't leave any one alive? Since you are so cruel, don't blame me for being ruthless," Li Xuan thought to himself.
The horse thieves confirmed the order, geared up one by one, and quietly entered the village.
Li Xuan followed quietly, turned his wrist, and already held a sharp dagger in his palm.
To deal with these guys, he didn't need to use monk's spells, he could just move his muscles casually.
The horse thieves rushed into the village and divided into two groups with a tacit understanding. One group went straight to Li Xuan's house, while the other group dispersed. Looking at the way they moved quickly and orderly, you knew that they did this kind of thing frequently.
The two scouts from the advanced village had long been hiding outside the courtyard of Li Xuan's house. After the gang arrived, eight horse thieves jumped onto the courtyard wall from four directions and sneaked quietly into the courtyard.
Li Xuan followed him into the yard and turned behind the two horse thieves in a few steps.
The two guys were taking something out of their arms. Judging from the smell, it should be some kindling. Li Xuan stopped being polite to them and stepped forward, wiping the dagger on one of them's neck.
