"Okay, San Shuanzi, if you want to thank me, saying it once is enough. If you really want to thank me, actions are better than empty words."

The old village chief next to him slammed his cane on the ground.

"Yes, old village chief."

The old village chief's prestige was enough, so Mo Laishuan stopped saying anything and stood aside, thinking about what he should do to repay his benefactor.

Mo Xiaoxiao is his only daughter and also his life.

At that time, when he saw Mo Xiaoxiao being swept away by the wind and sand, he didn't know how to get back to the village. His whole body was frozen, like a walking zombie.

It wasn't until the moment he learned that Mo Xiaoxiao was still alive that he woke up again.

"Two adults, these are Lao Chan's two sons, Mo Chi and Mo Gui. My son Mo Chi is the current village chief."

After entering the room and putting tea on the table, the old village chief began to introduce his two sons.

Luo Xingchen noticed that the two sons of the old village chief had very different temperaments.

The eldest son, Mo Chi, is the current village chief. He looks like a scholar, has a long beard on his chin, and has an elegant air.

The second son is younger, about thirty, with very thick arms and a heroic look on his face, and he looks like he is a martial arts practitioner.

"You two adults are officials of the imperial court. Why did you enter Yudai Mountain this time?"

After a few pleasantries, Mo Chi asked a question.

This question is not only his, but also the people in the village.

They have always been wary of external governments.

"We want to find a road that goes over Yudai Mountain and avoids Jianxia Pass. It's best to be able to walk on horseback. So far we haven't found one." Luo Xingchen said straightforwardly, without any hesitation.

"This... is difficult. Yudai Mountain is endless, and we hunters only dare to wander around the outside and don't dare to go deep." Mo Gui said thoughtfully.

"Are there many jackals, tigers and leopards in Yudai Mountain?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"There are many, not only jackals, tigers and leopards, but also several kinds of monsters. One kind lives in the water. Once people get close to the water, they will catch people in." Mo Gui said seriously.

"Water monster? What kind?" Luo Xingchen asked with a thought.

"It's just like a monkey. It's very big and many times stronger than a strong young man. If you are accidentally caught, you won't be able to escape without help... In our village, in the past few years, someone was arrested.

I’ve caught water monsters before…”

Immediately, Mo Gui briefly described the appearance of the water monster.

The more Luo Xingchen listened, the more familiar it became.

He thought of the water monster in the underground tomb in Iron Fang City.

From the description, they are very similar.

Maybe it’s the same kind of water monster!

Is this a coincidence? Or is there any special connection between the two?

"Besides water monsters, what other wild beasts are there?" Luo Xingchen continued to ask.

"Speaking of beasts, there is a kind of strange bear here. It is black and white and has great strength. We'd better not provoke it..." It was Mo Chi who spoke.

"There is also a strange snake, about five meters long, with golden coils all over its body. The venom of this snake is extremely poisonous. It will spit out a cloud of mist from a distance, and if it touches your eyes, you will be blinded by the poison.

." Mo Gui said.

"This Yudai Mountain is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den." Luo Xingchen couldn't help but sigh. He now had some doubts as to whether his group could find a way out.

If the way out of Yudai Mountain is so easy to find, why can't the court find it?

He kept things simple.

"The banquet is ready, gentlemen, how about we eat first?" the old village chief asked.

"Okay, let's have a banquet."

Then, the two daughters-in-law of the old village chief began to bring dishes from the kitchen to the table.

Courses of farm-style local dishes, generous in quantity and full of ingredients, were placed on the table.

Not long after, twenty dishes were placed on the Eight Immortals table.

"That's enough, old village chief, let the sisters-in-law have a rest. There are so many dishes, it's enough."

Luo Xingchen said.

"There are a few side dishes cooking in the pot. We in the village don't know how to prepare vegetables. These game and local dishes are a bit simple, so we are afraid of neglecting our distinguished guests," said the old village chief.

The game the old village head mentioned includes tits, pheasants, tiger meat, bear paws, etc...

In the city, this is considered a rare delicacy.

The daughter-in-law of the old village chief, Mrs. Qin, is also very good at cooking and cooks delicious dishes. After Luo Xingchen tasted them, he was full of praise, while Ziyan was relatively quiet and basically did not take the initiative to speak.

The old village chief served Laotan wine.

"This is rice wine that has been stored in the cellar for many years. The flavor is quite good." The old village chief asked Mo Chi to open the mud seal and pour wine for Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan.

"Master Luo is a hero among young men, Master Zi is a hero among women, I would like to give you a drink."

The old village chief stood up and picked up the bowl.

At the same time, Mo Chi, Mo Gui, and Mo Laishuan all stood up and toasted Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan.

"The old village chief is too kind."

Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan also stood up and returned to drink.

Just as everyone was drinking and drinking, they suddenly heard a woman's scream outside.

"The little tiger baby is missing."

Everyone was stunned. Outside, Mrs. Qin came in with disheveled hair, her face was pale and bloodless, and her eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness.

"How is it appropriate to be in such a hurry?"

The old village chief looked unhappy and scolded.

"Dad, I am in a hurry. The little tiger baby is missing." Mrs. Qin said in panic.

"What's wrong with the little tiger baby?"

Mo Chi hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Qin's wrist.

The little tiger baby was his child, so he was naturally extremely anxious.

"A-Li, don't be impatient, tell me slowly, what's going on?" Mo Chi said.

At this time, after the old village chief scolded him once, he did not scold him again.

Face is important, but it is not more important than your own grandson.

"Earlier, the little tiger boy was too noisy and even came to disturb the two distinguished guests. I locked him in the study and asked him to read and write quietly. But I didn't expect that when I finished cooking the food, I went to see him.

, the study door has been opened, and the little tiger baby is gone..." Mrs. Qin took a breath and calmed down.

"Are you hiding in a corner of your home? It's not the first time that kid has hidden." Mo Chi asked.

"Probably not. I have checked all the corners of the house. No one is there. I see that there is a dog hole hidden in the back wall. There are signs of someone getting in and out. I suspect that he has run out.

." Mrs. Qin lowered his head and said.

"Run out and run out. That kid may have gone to someone else's house to play with his friends. Let's go and look for him." Mo Gui said from the side.

"Perhaps he went to my house? Little Tiger likes to play with my Xiaoxiao the most, maybe he went to find Xiaoxiao?"

Murray said.
