The wind and snow became stronger again. Lu Bai followed the path pointed by the woman and walked for a long time before he saw a mountain village at the foot of the mountain.
This mountain village has a certain connection with the mountain village. Some people in the mountain village were originally from this mountain village.
Adhering to the principle that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests, Black Tiger Village basically did not plunder the locals here before.
According to the woman, she came to this mountain village as a refugee and was robbed before she could integrate in.
Her parents are still in the village, but they don't know the situation in the village since she was taken away.
Apart from that, she didn't say much more, and she didn't think about how to deal with her parents.
There are probably more than ten households in the mountain village, and most of them are huddled in their houses at this time.
After all, when it snows heavily, the sky and the earth are white, and if you are not careful, you will freeze to death.
Ancient times were no different than modern times, with down jackets, air conditioners, and all kinds of warm things.
These lower-class people don't have many ways to keep warm in winter, so they basically have to rely on their own bodies to resist.
And every year, many people die in the process.
Of course, there are some people who have to brave the cold to work even if it is snowing heavily.
Because if you don’t work, your family may starve to death.
So when Lu Bai walked into the village, he was still discovered.
Lu Bai's strange behavior immediately aroused the vigilance of these people. They all looked at Lu Bai warily with kitchen knives or pitchforks.
Lu Bai didn't take action because of this.
Although he can be considered decisive in killing so far, Lu Bai still has some basic judgments on whether to kill a person.
For example, whether the other party is involved in martial arts, or whether the main body of the other party's life involves these things.
Of course, this is not absolute. Lu Bai has a very flexible bottom line.
For Lu Bai, the martial arts world is a hunting ground. When you are in the hunting ground and dare to show your claws and claws to him, he can treat you as his prey.
These villagers are not 'hunters' in the martial arts world. Although they have some connections with the mountain villages, for now, they are still essentially people digging in the soil.
"I'm just passing by and want to ask where the nearest town is?" Lu Bai explained briefly: "By the way, I want to see if I can buy some dry food from you."
Lu Bai's appetite is quite big. After all, he is a martial arts practitioner, and with his physical talent, he naturally eats a lot.
Although he had a meal at the cottage before, he did not take away all the food he had eaten in the cottage.
He is a kind of obsessive-compulsive person who has a habit of doing things from beginning to end. Since he has decided to spare the woman's life, he will not deliberately kill her.
The other person is alone in the mountains, so it would be better to leave some food for him.
So when he walked to the mountain village, Lu Bai had already eaten all the food on his body and was still a little hungry.
"Please leave, outsiders are not welcome here." Just when the villagers were at a loss, a middle-aged and elderly man wearing animal skin clothes came out and said menacingly.
This man is about fifty years old, which can be called old in ancient times.
But despite this, the old man's mental outlook is good. After a little tidying up, he can still get involved in the uncle circle.
"Don't you, an old man, understand human language?" Lu Bai has no habit of respecting his elders. If you don't respect your elders, then I won't tolerate you.
Besides, including those 77 years when I slept, I might be a few rounds older than this old man.
"I asked where the nearest town is and if I can exchange for some food?" Lu Bai reached into his pocket and took out some gold and silver jewelry.
Don't reveal your wealth in vain, this is for those who hold gold as children. For Lu Bai, this is fishing.
The old man's tone made him unhappy. If they took action against him for these gold and silver jewelry, then his flexible moral bottom line would be undermined.
What surprised Lu Bai was that although the eyes of those around him were straightened, their hands unconsciously tightened the weapons in their hands.
But their eyes immediately turned to the old man, as if they were waiting for the old man's order.
In other words, their greed for property is not as strong as this old man's majesty.
"You can get out from here. Leave quickly, stranger." The old man glanced at the treasure. Although he was a little surprised, he did not show greed. Instead, he pointed to the side and told Lu Bai to leave quickly.
"Okay then." Lu Bai nodded, put away the treasure, passed through the villagers' knives and forks without any panic, and walked outside.
Only halfway through, Lu Bai suddenly turned back and looked at the village chief, mainly staring at the old man's face.
"Have we met somewhere, or have we seen your children somewhere?" Lu Bai felt that the old man looked familiar.
It must be his first time meeting this old man, but according to genetics, children will inherit a certain appearance from their father.
Lu Bai's memory is not bad. He has only seen so many people in this world, and not many people left a deep impression on him.
This old man's face makes me feel familiar, but I can't remember it, which is a bit interesting.
After hearing Lu Bai's words, the old man's expression immediately became gloomy.
"Kick him out!"
As the old man's expression changed, Lu Bai also suddenly understood.
"So it's you, Hua Lian." Lu Bai looked at the old man.
He was very impressed by Hua Lian, but Hua Lian's face was covered with scars, which made people who saw his face pay attention to the scars immediately, and did not care about his true appearance at all.
The same goes for Lu Bai. His main impression of Hua Lian is the scar on his face.
However, the old man and the painted face look very similar. As long as the facial scars are removed, the painted face will look exactly like the old man when he gets older.
"In this case, it seems that you are in this martial arts world." Lu Bai's guessing ability is not bad.
Hua Lian is a senior executive of Baihua Tomb. His father or elders are in this mountain village, and the mountain village has some connections with Black Tiger Village.
At the same time, Black Tiger Village was recognized by Baihua Tomb some time ago and changed its flag to become Black Tiger Gate.
Coupled with the old man's extremely high status in this village, there must be a series of py transactions involved.
I originally thought that the relationship between the mountain village and Heihu Village was at most a rabbit not eating grass from the edge of its nest. Some of the people came from this mountain village, and at most it was a relationship of more reporting and cover.
Now it seems that their relationship is much deeper.
"I'm very interested in you now." Lu Bai glanced over. As the conflict intensified, most people in the village came out.
Rubbing his fists, Lu Bai smiled.
"And I believe that soon, you will also be willing to chat."
