The surrounding mountains and forests seemed very silent under the night.
As Wang Chen walked forward, he said helplessly to himself: "It seems that we will have to sleep in the mountains tonight."
Although I have slept outdoors in the Moyun Mountains before, the quiet environment of the inn and the clean and comfortable beds make people more comfortable compared to the cold wind and the mountain forests full of mosquitoes and beasts.
However, after walking along the rugged mountain road and walking through a small forest ahead, Wang Chen's eyes showed a look of surprise.
A few miles ahead, there was a small village.
"Let's see if we can stay overnight." Wang Chen smiled and walked quickly towards the village.
As he approached the village, Wang Chen glanced around. There were about two hundred households in the village, and the lights were still on at this time.
When I walked to a house at the head of the village, I looked through the sparse fence and saw that the family inside was still eating in the courtyard.
Wang Chen stepped forward, reached out and knocked on the cracked wooden door.
The owner inside heard the sound and stood up. After opening the door, when he saw Wang Chen for the first time, a look of vigilance suddenly appeared on his face.
"Brother, is something wrong?"
It was a young man, wearing a standard robe with an eye-catching word "武" embroidered on the collar of the robe. He looked a little out of place with the surrounding environment.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you. I accidentally looked in the wrong direction while I was on my way. I strayed into the forest here and saw a village here. I wonder if I can stay overnight?"
The young man did not speak. He looked at Wang Chen for a moment, and then asked:
"Where are you from? Where are you going?"
Hearing this, Wang Chen answered truthfully: "I came from Moyun City. I want to see the scenery of Xiajiang County along the way, and then go to Xiajiang County to see it."
"Don't worry, I won't live in vain."
With that said, Wang Chen took out a few spiritual coins from his arms and handed them to the young man.
The young man stretched out his hand, but did not take the spirit coin. Instead, he staggered Wang Chen's hand and put his hand on his shoulder.
The next moment, Wang Chen felt a wave of spiritual energy appear on the young man's body. At the same time, a stream of spiritual energy also surged out from his palm and entered his shoulder.
Wang Chen's eyes moved slightly, and the sword energy rippled in the Ling Mansion.
But soon, the spiritual energy in the young man's hand shrank back, and then he bowed his hand to Wang Chen with an apology on his face.
"I'm sorry, brother, we have bandits here, so we have to be cautious. You can come in, but you're just staying the night, so there's no need to be so polite."
The young man said, handed Wang Chen's hand holding the spirit coin back, and opened the wooden door at the same time.
"Mom and Dad, this little brother came to stay at our house for the night. My brother and I will sleep at night." The young man said as he closed the wooden door.
Wang Chen looked towards the courtyard, where a couple and a fourteen-year-old boy were sitting around a small table.
Hearing this, the woman stood up and said, "Brother, you haven't eaten yet. I'll go stir-fry some more and eat some together."
Wang Chen just wanted to refuse. He still had dry food in his storage ring. He was already disturbing his stay, so why bother others?
But the middle-aged man on the side said: "Bring me another bottle of wine. I must have a hard journey and drink some wine to relieve my fatigue."
At this time, the young man also came over, brought another small stool from the side, sat with the boy, and at the same time moved the bowls and chopsticks from where he originally sat.
"Brother, please take a seat. If you are tired from the journey, drink some wine to relieve your fatigue."
Having said that, Wang Chen couldn't refuse, so he thanked him and sat down at the small table.
There are four dishes on the table, all are vegetarian dishes, and the rice is also brown rice.
It can be seen that the conditions of this family are not good.
A few people chatted for a while, and Wang Chen learned that this village was called Black Stone Village, which was rich in a kind of black ore. More than 200 households in the village all relied on mining to make a living.
Soon the woman brought over two prepared meat dishes and a jar of wine.
Young Luo Wenming took the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for Wang Chen, and then filled it for Luo's father and himself.
"I want to drink too!" On the side, the boy named Luo Wuming stood up and shouted.
Luo Wenming smiled and patted his younger brother Luo Wuming on the head, "You are a child, you can't drink now. You can wait until you grow up."
Luo Wuming put his hands on his hips and strongly disagreed with his brother's remarks.
"I have grown up. I can now hold a hundred kilograms of stones. Next year I will take the examination of Dajiang Wufu. I will enter Dajiang Wufu to practice like you, my brother. Then I will kill those bandits and robbers. Shit!"
As he spoke, Luo Wuming clenched his fists and waved them in the air, his face full of confidence and determination.
Hearing this, Luo Wenming laughed loudly, clapped his hands, and said with encouragement: "Okay, as expected of my brother. I believe in you. I will make an exception and let you drink a little today."
On the side, Luo's father and Luo's mother looked at their two sons, with smiles of relief on their wrinkled faces.
Wang Chen was a little surprised and looked at Luo Wenming, but he didn't expect that he was actually practicing in Dajiangwu Mansion.
Immediately, Luo Wenming poured some wine into Luo Wuming's bowl, then raised his own wine bowl and faced Wang Chen, "Brother Wang Chen, I admire your courage for daring to travel alone. I'd like to toast you." "
Wang Chen picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, I'm so sorry to bother you so rashly."
Luo Wenming waved his hand, "Brother Wang Chen is too polite, but it's just a quilt and a bed. If you have any trouble, just do it."
Wang Chen nodded and drank all the wine in the bowl.
Suddenly, a spicy and stimulating feeling followed the drink from his mouth to his throat.
But when that feeling dissipated, a warmth rose up in his body.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Father Luo said with a smile.
Soon after the meal was finished, Luo's mother cleared away the dishes, while Luo's father was playing with firewood on the side of the small courtyard.
After Luo Wuming drank the wine in his bowl, his face turned red and he shouted that he wanted Luo Wenming to teach him how to practice.
Luo Wenming had no choice but to come to the courtyard and stand still on his feet, "You have just broken through to the body refining realm. I will teach you a set of boxing techniques that can speed up your body refining."
Hearing this, Luo Wuming's eyes flashed and he jumped up excitedly, "Okay, okay."
Then, as Luo Wenming's moves unfolded, Luo Wuming studied attentively from behind.
After a set of punches, Luo Wenming asked Luo Wuming to practice by himself, while he sat next to Wang Chen.
After a while, Wang Chen discovered that Luo Wuming had memorized the boxing technique just now, and he had to say that he still had some talent.
Luo Wenming on the side looked at his younger brother with a smile on his face, correcting his actions from time to time.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
Luo Wenming frowned, stood up and walked to open the door.
When Luo Wuming saw this, he also stopped practicing boxing and looked at the door with a solemn face.
