At this time, the sky was getting brighter. Almost all the townspeople of White Grass town had gone out to do some work.
This place was remote and had little contact with the outside world. Everyone in the town knew each other.
As soon as the three of them entered the town, someone immediately greeted them, " "Ah Niu, ah Yong, ah mu, you're back? You've gained quite a lot this time."
"Third aunt." The three of them exchanged pleasantries with her. Ah Yong, who was dressed in a brown short-sleeved shirt, looked at the medicine bottle in her hand and said, " your father-in-law has been sick for a few days. Later, come and get a wild boar to drink to nourish him. &Quot;
&Quot; thank you so much, " the third aunt said hurriedly. &Quot; our town hasn't slaughtered any pigs recently. It's hard for me to be filial to the old people ... Do you want salted duck eggs? " I pickled it myself ..."
While they were talking, a few children ran out from an alley not far away. They were chasing a rotten head, kicking it and laughing happily.
When he saw his prey, he immediately picked up the head and ran over to watch curiously. &Quot; "Father Xiao Ni, did you guys get all these? It's so powerful!"
"Why aren't there any of those beautiful chickens? I want a new shuttlecock ..."
"What do you know? this is a wild boar! This wild boar looks so fierce!"
"When I grow up, I want to go hunting in the mountains too!"
"Little NI's father, why doesn't little ni come out and play with us?"
&Quot; he's just a quiet person, " ah Yong said with a smile. &Quot; I'll make some lard for you guys later. &Quot;
"Yay!"
The children were instantly happy. They immediately forgot that little ni didn't want to play with them and left noisily.
The three of them continued to move forward with their prey.
Not long after, they passed by a wall that was half the height of a person. Within the wall, the courtyard was wide. At this moment, an old man was holding a pot and constantly adding firewood to the bottom of the pot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the fragrance of the burning pine branches, the large uncovered pot was steaming hot.
Seeing the three of them pass by, the old man raised his head and said, " "Hou Sheng, did you see the herbs that the old man wanted on this trip to the mountain?"
&Quot; I'm sorry, uncle Gen, " Ah Niu said apologetically. &Quot; we've looked around, but we couldn't find him. &Quot;
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at them,"what did you say?" Found it? Quite a few?"
"Uncle Gen, we didn't find him!" Ah Niu raised his voice.
The old woman immediately revealed a happy expression,"good, good, good!" It's good that you've found it!"
As he spoke, he casually wiped his hands on his clothes and walked over. &Quot; where are the herbs? " Hurry up and give it to this old man. You young people definitely won't know how to handle it ..."
Seeing this, ah mu shouted,"uncle Gen, no!" We didn't find any herbs!"
At this time, the old man finally heard it clearly. He couldn't help but lower his head and sigh. With this action, one of his eyes fell into the soup, but he didn't notice it and continued, " &Quot; I can't find it ... Sigh, forget it, it's not a big deal. It's hard to find ... You can just take a look at it. If it's not possible, I'll go to the city to buy it ... &Quot;
After saying a few words, the three of them left.
After walking for a while, he saw a child sitting on the steps in front of his house. He was holding his cheeks with his hands and supporting his knees with his face full of anger.
"Little ping, why are you here alone?" a mu asked.
"Mother is playing on the swing with sister and the others, not me!" The child, little ping, said angrily.
Hearing this, the three of them looked at the door behind him. On a big tree in the courtyard, five figures were hanging neatly. The one in the middle was a middle-aged woman, and on her left and right were two young girls. They did not seem to have a big age difference, but at this moment, white silk was wrapped around their necks, and they were not breathing at all. They were five women.
Looking at this scene, the three of them did not notice anything strange. They only smiled and comforted little ping, " "They're all grown up now, and there won't be many opportunities for them to play in the future."
"When you grow up, your mother will bring you to play."
"Alright, I won't be angry with them." Xiao Ping nodded slightly.
They touched his head and left with their prey.
Turning into an alley from the street, there were only two houses left before ah Yong's house.
The three of them stood at the door and quickly came to an agreement. A mu and a Niu decided to only take away Muzi and Juan Zi, leaving the dead deer and wild boar to a Shui."The child is more important. When we have children in the future, we will need your support."
After watching his companion leave, ah Yong dragged the two prey and pushed open the door.
In the house, the woman who was busy working under the stove heard the noise and walked out while wiping her hands on her apron. When she saw the deer and wild boar, she couldn't help but be happy."You hunted something big this time?"
There was no joy on ah Yong's face. He threw the prey in the yard and closed the door behind him, then sighed."The prey in the mountain is getting lesser and lesser."
"We'll save as much as we can in the future."
"My two brothers gave these to me. They said it was for little ni to learn later ..."
The woman nodded and said, " thank you very much. We're far from the city. I'm afraid that the meat will go bad if it's left like this. I'll get some firewood later and make smoked meat. It can be kept for a longer time. &Quot;
As she spoke, she reached out to take the prey from her husband's hands. However, deer and pigs were very heavy. The woman did not catch it and almost fell to the ground.
"I'll do it," ah Yong said with a smile.
"You go and cook."
Not far away, little ni sat on a green stone that had been washed clean. He had an indifferent expression as he looked at this scene quietly. His facial muscles were squirming, and 'Kacha' sounds came from his mouth from time to time. He was chewing on some snacks.
Blood mixed with bone fragments seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
In his hand, he was still holding half of a finger. The front of his lapel was wet with blood, and the smell of blood filled the air.
Suddenly, the child seemed to sense something and slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the entrance of White Grass town. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, a spiritual boat engraved with the patterns of hundreds of beasts slowly landed on the hillside outside the town.
The demons and itinerant cultivators alighted from the spiritual boats one after another and looked around.
There were dense branches and leaves all around. Through the uneven shrubs, they could see a small town at the foot of the mountain not far away, hidden among the green trees and flowing water.
At this moment, smoke rose from the kitchen, and the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs could be heard faintly. Mixed with the noise of parents reprimanding naughty children, the smell of smoke and fire belonging to the mortal world hit his face.
This small town was their destination, White Grass town.
At this moment, a dark-faced, short-bearded rogue cultivator in a crimson robe asked, " "Seniors, we're still some distance away from the town center. Why don't we fly in with the spiritual boat?"
The sea Race demon surnamed Jing immediately said, &Quot; our dynasty is a righteous sect. According to the laws of the Imperial court, we are not to disturb ordinary living beings. &Quot;
"This White Grass town is remote. I think even Li Shu doesn't have much experience."
"If the spiritual boat flies in directly and scares the old and weak mortals, who will be responsible?"
The Maroon-robed cultivator didn't dare to say anything more.
"We're all demons, so our appearances are different from humans," the demonic cultivator with the surname Jing continued.
"If we enter the town rashly, the mortals will definitely scatter in fear."
&Quot; therefore, all of you should move out immediately and enter White Grass town to explore. &Quot;
"No matter what you discover, immediately send a voice transmission to inform us."
As it spoke, it took out a water ball.
The water ball was azure blue, and there seemed to be countless tiny floating objects inside.
The demonic cultivator Jing released his hand and the water ball floated towards the individual cultivators. He continued, " in this is one-tenth of the reward. &Quot;
"If we find any useful clues, we will pay the rest."
"You don't need to doubt the credibility of the glazed tile Empire!"
