Xiba Village.
It is located twenty miles downstream of the Yinyi River outside Chang County.
Logically speaking, if a person is exhausted after a night, Shangpan Village is the closest village to Chang County, and is the most suitable escape route for resting and replenishing supplies nearby.
But for the sake of safety, Jin An did not go to Shangpan Village, but went to Xiba Village, which was further away.
When an old man, a young man and a sheep arrived at Xiba Village, Jin An was so depressed that he slept for a whole day. He was frightened by the Qingqianliu and his injured soul finally recovered.
If an ordinary person has his soul injured, it is naturally impossible for him to recover so quickly.
The reason why Jin'an recovered in just one day was all thanks to the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman and the newly-sealed Six-Ding-Liujia Talisman, which were kept close to him day and night, warming and nourishing his soul every moment.
Just recover.
After Jin An woke up, he also roughly understood the situation in Xiba Village.
Xiba Village is a small fishing village, relying on ferry boats on the river to make a living by fishing.
The geographical location of Xiba Village is a bit special. It is located at a turning point downstream of Chang County.
However, because the river water washes away at Guaikou all year round, during the rainy season of June, July and August, the river mouth is prone to flooding, causing flooding to this small fishing village.
Later, in order to protect the grain fields downstream, the Chang County government hired villagers from Xiba Village and spent several years building river embankments. This is where the name Xiba Village comes from.
Because Jin An's soul was injured, Jin An and Lao Dao stayed temporarily in Xiba Village to recuperate.
It was not because the villagers of Xiba were honest and simple that they agreed to let them stay temporarily.
It's because Jin'an is not short of money.
Directly find a local villager to rent a small rural courtyard, and the other party happily moves to a relative's house with money in hand.
Jin'an, who lives temporarily in Xiba Village, originally thought that the neighboring counties would get the news soon about the destruction of Chang County, and then someone from the government would come to question him and the old Taoist priest immediately, because even Xiba Village had already received the news.
, people were panicked for a while.
However, he rested in Xiba Village for a day and did not wait for anyone from the Kangding court to come to them.
Later, when Jin An thought about it, he felt that there must be a lot of refugees fleeing Chang County this time, and the government could not take care of everyone for the time being.
As a result, he and the old Taoist priest temporarily fell through the cracks.
Thinking of this, Jin An thought of what happened last night. He stood in the courtyard and looked in the direction of Chang County, hoping that old acquaintances like Feng Baotou would be safe and sound.
I don’t know what happened to the female corpse in the white coffin and Mr. Yiyun?
Last night, he didn't meet the yamen servants, Feng Baotou, Li Yanchu, or other yamen servants. Jin An couldn't help but think that he had seen a large number of people in his out-of-body state.
The scene where government officials rushed to Man Mo Temple to put out the fire and save people...
Last night he entered Changxian several times to rescue people, until the fire reached the city gate and Changxian was completely reduced to a sea of ​​flames. Before finally leaving Changxian, he did not meet Feng Captou and his other government officials.
Jin An looked in the direction of Chang County.
I hope Feng Captou and the others can finally escape from Chang County through other city gates.
On the riverside at night, the cold wind howled, and the strong wind stirred up the waves on the river, which was rumbling incessantly. Finally, it was nightfall. After a day of warming up, Jin'an's soul had recovered. After returning to the house, his soul came out again.
orifice.
He planned to go to Chang County.
Take a look at what's going on in Chang County right now?
Has the fire been put out?
Have the eminent monks from Zhenguo Temple or the Jade Capital Golden Tower whom Mr. Yiyun once mentioned come to Chang County, which has been turned into a demon cave, to ward off evil spirits?
And this is one of the reasons why Jin'an is not too far away from Chang County.
He was worried that it was too far away and that the distance between the soul and his body would not be enough.
The soul floated all the way, and the strong wind on the river surface at night was very harmful to the soul. If you were not careful, you could carry the light and fluttering soul and blow it hundreds of miles away. In the end, you could not return to your shell in time and died outside.
Fortunately, Jin'an has the Liuding Liujia Talisman to protect the soul.
However.
Occupying Jin'an, whose soul was protected by the Liuding Liujia talisman, when the soul drifted almost seven or eight miles away, the connection between his soul and his physical body became weaker and weaker.
It no longer supported him and continued to drift away.
Is the farthest distance only seven or eight miles?
Jin An tried it this time, and the highest distance between Hun'er and the ground was only about seven or eight feet.
And this is under the limit.
The higher the soul floats, it is like falling into a mire of turbid air, making it difficult to move.
"It seems that if I want to be like what is described in "Guangping Youshuo Synaesthesia Record" and wander thousands of miles in one night, there is still a long way to go."
Jin An stopped trying.
The gap is very far.
It's obviously a chasm, a chasm.
The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. Jin An lamented that he still has a long way to go.
Since he couldn't go to Chang County for the time being, Jin An could only look back in the direction of Chang County, preparing to drift towards Xiba Village.
But Jin An had just drifted to Xiba Village, and had just drifted near the small courtyard he rented. In the quiet night, he suddenly heard a shrill scream.
Jin An was surprised to see a villager lying on the ground, holding his head and screaming, rolling on the ground with a headache.
"Who, who is crying and howling in the middle of the night?"
"It seems to be coming from over there..."
"Let's go over and have a look..."
Not long after, several villagers living nearby came over with lanterns in hand to check on the situation.
The villager who was lying on the ground rolling around and screaming, heard the footsteps of other people, and seemed to have a guilty conscience. He suppressed his headache, stumbled up and ran away.
He actually didn't dare to meet the villagers who came over.
"who?"
"Who is hiding there and sneaking around?"
The villagers all chased after him.
There is no mandatory curfew in the local villages of Kangding State. Only those cities with complex security and large populations have curfews. Therefore, even at night, the villagers of Xiba Village can still go out normally.
Jin An looked thoughtfully at the few villagers who disappeared into the vast night.
When Jin An Hun'er floated to the small courtyard where he rented, he unexpectedly saw a bad old man squatting in front of his house. The bad old man had big yellow teeth, a big head and a small body. He was wearing an earth-colored gown and a jacket.
Wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, his face was wrinkled and covered with ravines, and his skin was rough.
Looking at it from a distance, I thought it was a rotten old man squatting in front of his house.
The funniest thing is that the bad old man who looks like a toad spirit wears a green hat on his big head.
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you up!"
The old man with big yellow teeth and bad teeth was squatting at the door of Jin An's house, and then he took off a cloth shoe without any image. There was a paper cutout on the ground, and he was hitting the head of the little paper cutout on the ground with the sole of his shoe over and over again.
The other party hit the paper figurine with the sole of his shoe while singing a strange tune:
"A villain is jealous of a good person, and will always be suspicious of him. He should be beaten."
"Martyrs are so sad, but villains should be beaten."
"A gentleman is known for his righteousness, and a villain is known for his benefit. He should be beaten."
"The villain bullies the house and leaks, we should be punished. He should be beaten."
"The villain likes to fight for profit, and he works hard day and night. It's time to fight."
"A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain has a long relationship. He should be beaten."
Jin An's eyes were surprised. Hun'er drifted closer and saw a person's name written on the paper-cut man who was pressed to the ground by the old man with big yellow teeth and patting the soles of his shoes.
Where is the tree?
