Chapter 160 Peach Blossom Village (Part 1)

Maybe it's the first day of the new year, but the weather is fine today. The mountains, houses and gardens near Anyan City are all immersed in windless silence and bright cold, immersed in dazzling white snow and light blue shadows, reflecting the hardness and cleanliness of winter.

The cloudless light blue sky enveloped the earth like a dome, and thousands of white hexagonal crystals shone brightly, dancing and playing in the sky.

The next morning.

Anyan City, East Gate.

"Why hasn't Qianxue come over yet?"

Wearing a black bamboo hat, carrying a black iron sword on his back, holding spiked gloves in his arms, holding all his belongings, and fully armed, Han Yi stood outside the moat and chatted with Bai San people boredly.

"Well, wait a moment, there is no need for this little effort. It's not like you don't know, Qianxue has a keen eye for food. Perhaps, she may have her eye on which delicious dim sum restaurant... ..”

Bai Sanren responded helplessly.

"Come on, come on, let's go!"

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.

Qianxue was wearing a thin silk skirt, holding a pancake that looked like meat on fire in her mouth, holding a hot drink in her hand, and covering the hem of her skirt with her other hand. She didn't look like a lady at all.

She was swift and light, like a light little butterfly, and rushed towards Han Yi and the two of them. Wherever she went, everyone gave way to her.

Everyone is discerning. In the depth of winter, to be able to wear light clothes, move freely and at such a fast speed, there is no other possibility except for cultivating warriors who are beyond ordinary people.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..."

Qianxue ate the pancake in a few mouthfuls, stuck out her tongue, and said embarrassedly.

"You kid, eat slowly..."

Bai Sanren didn't care at all, he said with a doting smile.

The distance from Anyan City to the Moon-covering Gym is not very far. It is about a hundred miles. If the three of them set out early and set out early, they can get there in one day. But judging from today's departure time, it may take two days. It's time.

After the three tidied up a little, they quickly set off.

Yanyue Taoist Temple is a small Taoist temple near Anyan City. It is also the birthplace of Qianxue.

The first half of the journey from Anyan City to Yanyue Taoist Temple is on a flat official road. Go straight east to Anqing Fucheng, which is relatively safe.

In the second half of the journey, you need to climb a few hills, but it is not difficult to walk.

Since there was no need to rush, the three of them talked and laughed and soon walked out of the official road.

evening

The sun's shadow was skewed, and the sunset dyed the sky red for half the day.

Bai Sanren stood at a fork in the forest and took out a map made of unknown animal skin from his arms.

He looked at the direction of the setting sun and identified his location based on the signs around him.

"Okay, Qianxue, go over the two hills behind and you'll reach the Moon Covering Taoist Temple."

"Phew, I'm so tired. Can you find a place to rest this time? It was too uncomfortable to sleep in the wild last time in a hurry!"

Qianxue wiped the sweat from her head and complained.

"Go this way for another three miles. I remember there is a small village here, otherwise I would go there and stay temporarily..."

"Yeah! Great, I can have a good sleep now!"

Qianxue cheered.

The last time she and Bai Sanren went home, they slept in the wild. There were animals howling at every turn at night, and they were asked to cheer up and keep vigil. It was really painful.

After all, in this world, walking in the wild itself is a scary thing. Wild beasts in the wild and bandits hidden in the mountains and forests may be fatal factors.

What's more, there is also the saying that there are three roads to take, and the night road is the first.

I’ve been traveling all day today, so it’s great to have a place to rest at night.

"Master Bai, have you been to that village before? Don't make any more mistakes on this map. This will make us waste our efforts and our trip."

At this time, Han Yi stepped forward and asked.

In this world with limited information, it is normal for the map information to be inaccurate, not to mention that a village like this outside the city might disappear at some point.

"I saw this village when I passed by. It's called Peach Blossom Village. It's at the foot of a mountain called Peach Blossom Mountain. There are about seventy or eighty households. It should be fine."

Bai Sanren thought for a while and then spoke.

"What problem can there be? Even if there are dozens of bad guys, you two masters in the blood refining stage can't solve it?"

"Yes, Qianxue, what you said makes sense, but when the time comes, you two will act according to my eyes. Regarding food and other things, you will eat when I ask you to eat! Also, in the evening, Mr. Han, we will take turns Night watch."

Bai Sanren is worthy of being an old man. He laid out his arrangements one by one, clearly and convincingly.

"good!"

Han Yi and Qian Xue said in unison.

----------

After determining the target, the three of them accelerated their pace and rushed towards Taohua Village.

Sometimes life is like this. When you have no goals and are in a confused stage, you may feel full of energy but feel weak. But when you set a goal, you won't feel tired even if the road ahead is difficult and you are exhausted.

Soon, the three of them came to a hillside.

It was already dusk, the smoke from the cooking pots was curling up into the night sky, and the aroma of cooking cooking echoed on the hillside, warming the heart and soul.

A small village came into view.

The low-rise houses were scattered in a disorderly manner, most of them were adobe houses, and there were a few straw sheds that looked like livestock.

It was probably just after the New Year. Although they were all old adobe houses, every household had swept them clean, and there were festive new door money on both sides of the courtyard gate.

On the bumpy mud road, a few hens ran by from time to time, and there were puppies playing happily behind them, and children wearing thick cotton clothes chasing and playing.

They walked happily, ignoring the adults behind them, and left a series of footprints under the snow.

The outskirts of the village were only surrounded by simple wooden fences, and you could vaguely see that some places had been attacked by wild beasts and repaired.

At the entrance of the village, there was a winding and slender river, but at this time, it was all frozen.

The stream seemed to be frozen solid. There were several middle-aged men on the frozen surface, skillfully using iron picks to break the ice and fish out the fresh fish under the ice. On the river bank, several middle-aged women were chatting and talking about family matters on one side, while helping their men to clean up the fish.

A small village full of life slowly unfolded in front of everyone.

"Is it here, Mr. Bai?" Han Yi asked back.

"Let me see..."

Bai Sanren took out the map and confirmed the direction again and again, and looked into the distance for a long time, and said decisively.

"It's here. Look, there is a tall old peach tree in the middle of the village. That's right, let's go!"

The three of them no longer hesitated and quickly walked towards the village entrance.
