Just as Zhang Yifeng guessed, Bai Ying left this place after dawn.
Chong Wushuang scholar nodded, Zhang Yifeng tapped his fingertips.
Two spiritual lights fell on Lao Xu and the pudgy villager, and they woke up from their sleep immediately.
"Um!"
Lao Xu and the pudgy villager yawned and slowly got up from the ground.
Although they spent one night sleeping outdoors in a dilapidated temple with Chinese food, the two of them felt extremely energetic.
The fear I encountered last night also dissipated a lot because of the sweet dreams I had.
"You two gentlemen, has the monster left?"
Lao Xu rubbed his eyes, and after regaining consciousness, he looked around at the situation outside the ruined temple.
The sun was shining brightly outside the temple, and a warm breeze came from the early morning, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"That's great. Just as the young master said, the monster is gone!"
The pudgy villager came to the window and shouted excitedly when he saw that the monster was gone.
"It's just a pity that Lao Li and the others were so close to saving their lives."
The excitement did not last long, and the pudgy villager's expression turned sad and he sighed.
"Alas, Old Liu, life cannot be resurrected."
"Since Lao Li and the others have gone, we can't be too sad."
"It's better to return to the village as soon as possible and tell Lao Li and his family about this."
When Lao Xu saw this, he also had a sad look on his face. He walked up to the squat villager Lao Liu and reached out to pat his shoulder.
"Well, Lao Xu, you are right!"
Encouraged by Lao Xu, the sad look on Lao Liu's face gradually became firm.
"You still don't know the names of the two young masters?"
"If the two young masters hadn't warned us, we would have all died here last night."
Lao Xu glanced at Lao Liu with approval, then turned to Zhang Yifeng and asked Zhang Yifeng.
"
Brother Xu, you're sorry, my name is Zhang Yifeng, but I can't tell you where I live."
Zhang Yifeng smiled slightly and replied calmly.
Scholar Wushuang thought about it for a while and said to Lao Xu, "I, Zhao Chengjie, like Brother Zhang, it is not convenient for me to tell you my place of origin for the time being."
"It turns out to be Young Master Zhang and Young Master Zhao."
"This green mountain is surrounded by dangers. Why don't you two gentlemen go back to the village with us and take a break?"
There was a flash of light in Lao Xu's eyes, and he asked the two of them in a low voice.
Zhang Yifeng and Wushuang Scholar originally wanted to go with Lao Xu to explore the roots of his village.
Now that Lao Xu personally invited him, the two of them naturally had no reason to refuse.
The four of them immediately walked out of the mountain temple.
Zhang Yifeng turned around and glanced at the mountain temple behind him, and saw that the temple was indeed extremely dilapidated.
Just by looking at it, you can feel a sense of desolation coming towards you.
"You two gentlemen, we live in a small village called Qingshuihe Village."
"There are almost a hundred households in the village, and they have lived here for generations."
"Originally our life was quite peaceful, but a few years ago the monster suddenly appeared on this green mountain."
"Originally, I thought the monster was just a message from the village chief to scare the children in the village and prevent them from sneaking up to the green hills to play."
"Now it seems that I was wrong."
On the way down the mountain, Lao Xu said to Zhang Yifeng with a sad expression.
"Old Xu, I can't blame you for this."
"No one knows that there is a monster on Qingshan Mountain. If you want to blame it, you can only blame the village chief!"
"You knew we were going to Qingshan, but you didn't say anything!"
Lao Liu
Hearing this, he patted Lao Xu on the shoulder and said through gritted teeth.
Apparently, he already had a grudge against the village chief in his heart.
If they had left the village and went up the mountain, the village chief would have stopped them even more.
How could the situation become like this? There is no need for Lao Li and the others to die.
"Hey, don't blame the village chief."
"The village chief probably has his own reasons."
When Lao Xu heard this, he shook his head and said with a gentle expression.
Zhang Yifeng and Wushuang Scholar were watching them from the side, with indescribable meaning flashing in their eyes.
After some time, a group of four people descended from Qingshan and saw several women washing clothes by a river not far away.
When Lao Xu and Lao Liu saw the group of women, they stopped and looked ashamed.
"What's going on with the two big brothers?"
Zhang Yifeng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Well, those people over there are Lao Li's wives."
Lao Xu pursed his lips, a look of shame and embarrassment gathering on his face.
He hesitated for a moment, not daring to approach those women at all.
But they didn't need to go over there. Several women who were doing laundry by the river quickly noticed Zhang Yifeng and the others.
When they saw Zhang Yifeng and Wushuang Scholar, two rare unfamiliar faces, several women subconsciously blushed.
But soon they noticed Lao Xu and Lao Li following the two of them, and they didn't care too much at that moment.
They all put down the clothes they were washing and rushed over quickly.
Passing by Zhang Yifeng and Wushuang Scholar, they gathered around Lao Xu and Lao Liu.
"Lao Xu, Lao Liu, where is my husband!"
"Where's Lao Li? Didn't he come back with you?!
"
"Didn't you go up the mountain together? Why are you two the only ones back?"
Various voices kept reaching the ears of Lao Xu and Lao Liu, and beads of sweat continued to roll down their foreheads.
Faced with the siege of these women, Lao Xu and Lao Liu couldn't resist at all.
He hesitated and wanted to say something, but for a long time he couldn't speak at all.
When several women saw the two of them hesitating, they also noticed something in their hearts, and their faces instantly turned pale.
He immediately grabbed the two of them by their collars, shook them wildly, and began to cry.
"You, you two bastards, why did you want to kill my husband!"
"My husband used to be a good man, but you tricked him into going up the mountain. Now he is well, and you give my husband his life!"
Among the bursts of crying were the pale faces and trembling legs of Lao Xu and Lao Liu.
"Sisters, please express your condolences. Your husbands have been buried in the mouth of the monster on the mountain."
Seeing that someone was already trying to grab Lao Xu and Lao Liu's hair, Zhang Yifeng had no choice but to take a step forward and forcefully separate the two parties.
Lao Xu and Lao Liu did not dare to speak, so they had to lower their heads and stand behind Zhang Yifeng.
"You, where did your pretty face come from?"
"These two bastards killed our husbands, why don't they let us take revenge?"
"That's right, it's all your fault!"
The women were so angry and sad that they didn't even want to talk to Zhang Yifeng.
As he spoke, he wanted to take action and push Zhang Yifeng aside.
"Sisters, please don't mess around."
"I know you are heartbroken when you lose your husband, but Brother Xu and Brother Liu also escaped from death before walking down the mountain."
"And your husband was not killed by them. Please don't take your anger out on others."
