Chapter 217

"Cough cough cough."

"Old man, you didn't make any footsteps when you came out like this. You are being rude." Murong Xi put down the bowl in embarrassment, stood up and said.

"You two are walking outside in such a snowy day. There are only two children. Don't your family members worry? Look at your clothes, you are also rich and noble people, so you don't have any entourage to follow you."

The old man's words were very casual and warm, but Murong Xi could hear the strangeness and suspicion in it.They are indeed apt to attract suspicion.Normal people would not go out in heavy snow, even cultivators would not choose to go on missions in such bad weather.

Still the two young men.

"Old man. We have been in the forest for more than a month. We are on a mission together with the family. We were forced to separate after something happened. Now we are the only two brothers who depend on each other. We are also today It was hard to get out." Murong Xi said without blushing.

What she said was very cryptic, anyway, she wanted to express their misfortune and embarrassment.The old man didn't suspect anything. The forest is dangerous, and ordinary people would not go there. Since these two came out of it, it means that they are not ordinary people.

"Since the two adults have come out and come to the old man's house, then take a good rest, and you will rest when the snow stops."

"Old man, your village is so quiet. We haven't seen a dog barking or anyone cooking a fire. Isn't it time to have dinner?" Murong Xi said naturally. The old man chatted.

"Well, I can't say. The two adults should rest well, so let's leave quickly. The village is not peaceful recently." The old man said with lingering fear.I looked around and remembered something, and looked ahead with peace of mind.

"Then you tell us that it's so unfair? We are not worthless people, maybe we can help you." Zhu Nan himself is much older than the old man, and he doesn't even bother to call him old man. .

"You two young people, stop meddling. These matters are all settled!" The old man's eyes glowed with admiration, and he looked at the door.

"Old man, the enchantment at this gate was set up for you, right? I think other people in the village are like this too." Murongxi asked.

The person who set up the barrier is not strong, even if something really comes, it can't protect the people here, so why do they do this?

"Yeah, the two adults don't know, our place was not peaceful at night, and several children were taken away before. We ordinary people, there is nothing we can do. Later, a real person came to help us drive away That evil spirit set up a barrier in our house, telling us not to go out at night, and not to receive strangers."

He said with a bit of embarrassment on his face. "Just now, you heard our little grandson coughing. We are afraid that if we offend the bad guys, it will bring disaster to Quancun. I saw the evil spirits as clouds of black mist before, and the blood shed by those bad guys is the same as that of us normal people. It's different, my wife and I want to see your blood, if you are good people, we won't let two children stay outside in the ice and snow."

It turned out that this was the case, so the old man pricked their fingers with a needle to see if their blood was bright red and whether it was the same as that of normal people.The two old men were indeed too kind and simple.

If it's a bad guy, blood can do the same thing.The scariest thing in this world is not the demons and ghosts, but the human heart.The human heart is the scariest thing.Whether it is a human or a demon, the difference is not based on the body.Many people are scarier than the devil.

"Thank you so much, old man, for making it difficult for you two elders." Murong Xi sincerely thanked him. At this time, the old lady came up with the freshly prepared dishes.

She cleaned up the teapots and bowls on the table, and served all the dishes on the table. "Old man, you eat with them first. I'll bring in food for Ah Chi. He hasn't eaten for a day." The old woman's eyes were full of tears, and she felt sorry for her grandson.
