There's something wrong with this guy

Chapter 1 Xijia Village

Ronghua Empire, Tianshui Dao Litigation State, Zhongchao Mountain, there are 28 strange peaks and [-] different caves, one of which is called Shaoguang, which is not in the records, and few people know it——

"The sun goes down~"

The long melody echoed on the river, the fisherman returned home, the black dog came off the bank, the green hills were drunk, the blue waves were smoky, and the sound of the water was ethereal.

"Big black, go."

A raft emerged from a hidden place covered by the shadow of the tree, on which sat a black dog wagging its tail, and a man in a hood and a hat was sitting, who looked like a little old man.

Some old fishermen who returned late saw them from a distance and shouted, "It's late, go back quickly, it's not peaceful outside!"

At the time of the internal and external troubles of the empire, the wind and rain were shaky, and at night there were basically no figures. Seeing that he couldn't call them, he shook his head and leaned towards the shore.

In the darkness, there was only a single raft on the river, drifting far away under the reflection of Chongshan, submerging into the long twilight.

After driving through several turbulent river sections, a sparse group of reefs appeared in the middle of the river ahead. The man in the hood jumped into the water, pushed the raft into the bushes on the bank, covered it with dead branches and trees, and then dived into the river with the black dog. .

There is a water hole on the river wall, and the people of Xijia Village call it Shaoguang.

One person and one dog got into the water hole and dived for about ten feet. The hole changed from narrow to wide and the water level dropped. They also came out of their heads and gasped sharply. They carefully avoided the stalactites hanging on the water and continued. Swim forward.

Another thirty or forty zhang, to the wide semi-circular cave hall, the terrain of the cave hall slopes up, so only half of the water is gone, and the other half is dry ground. There is a fire on the dry ground. There are two people sitting by the fire. Tree shadows whirling outside.

"Is there a sound?" A bearded man stood up and looked at the water. With excellent night vision, he saw two heads appearing in the depths of the cave. , is no one going outside today?"

Xi Cangping, who was dozing off, answered vaguely, and was kicked by the beard and kicked a dog to eat shit.

He was completely awake this time, pulled out the bow and arrow on his back and pointed at the water, "Where, where?"

"Second Uncle, Uncle Ping, it's me."

One person and one dog swam a little closer, and their feet were able to step on the ground.

"Isn't this the big black of the ancient people?" Xi Cangping stared at the dog several times, and the dog also snarled at him twice.

At this time, the man in the robe raised his head, revealing a tender face, and his dark eyes reflected the faint red firelight.

"Huanyan, when did you go down?!" The bearded man ran into the water, trying to lift her up, but she avoided him.

"Second uncle, don't tell my parents, otherwise, the whole village will know about you fainting here."

Xi Huanyan vigorously avoided the containment of the two adults, jumped out of the cave, and disappeared on the village road.

Xi Cangjin slammed the water and scolded, "This girl is skinny and wild, and I don't know who can hold her down."

"Oh, that's not right, the little guy has never been out of the village, how did he go outside?"

Xi Cangjin waved his hand at will, "Maybe he played in the waterway for a while."

He never thought that a 12-year-old child could go outside through the waterway. One section of the waterway is narrow and long, and adults have to weigh it when entering.

After hearing this, Xi Cangping touched the back of his head, he and Xi Cangjin had indeed been drunk a few times, maybe they went down to play while they were drunk.

The two sat down again, waiting for someone to change shifts.

Outside, the night stars are bright, shining on the Xijia Village surrounded by mountains. The ancestors of Xijia Village moved here in the first year of Sude to avoid disasters. It has been 490 years.

Due to the dangerous terrain around Xijia Village, if you want to get out of the village, you have to climb over several steep peaks, or take the waterway in the cave, so it has little contact with the outside, and it is a semi-hidden paradise.

Xi Huanyan was a little curious about the outside world, and one time she followed her father to the cave.

At that time, Xi Canggu was diving in the water cave. When he looked back, he saw a small black shadow behind him. He thought it was some kind of fish monster. , crawled to the shore with all his hands and feet, took the knife on his back, and dared to look back.

As soon as he stared, he stared out his iron padded jacket, so angry that he took Xi Huanyan and beat him, shouting angrily: "You want to scare me to death, scare your father to death, but no one is used to it. is you!"

After shouting, the eight-footed man's eyes were red.

Xi Huanyan was apologetic, but she dared to do it again. No, for the sake of her father's little heart, she sneaked away with the black dog, and then sneaked back with the black dog.

Xi Huanyan's home is a brand-new courtyard house in the village. The main house in the north, the east and west wing rooms, and the south gate are surrounded by a courtyard. There is a lobby in the middle. In Xi's village, only her house and the village chief's house are such good houses. A single house with two sloping roofs has a fence outside. If the family has a large population, there are usually several more rooms next to each other.

Xi Canggu's lineage is in charge of a craftsmanship. Most of the houses in the village are repaired by her family. Her father often goes out of the village to build houses and make furniture for others.

At that time, craftsmen were very respected, especially craftsmen with ancestral craftsmanship like Xi Canggu.

Because building ground, making furniture, and placing decorations usually involve some secret connection between man and nature, offending a craftsman who is proficient in this way, he may do some tricks, attracting evil spirits, and causing your family to be destroyed.

In addition, Xi Canggu is one of the only three source masters in the village, and his status is quite high.

Xi Huanyan has admired her father since childhood, but she is used to making noises, making Xi Canggu both love and hate when she mentions her daughter.

Under the moonlight, Xi Huanyan wrung out the corner of her clothes and jumped up to climb up the wall of her house. She looked at the brightly lit lobby, carefully slipped down the corner of the wall, slipped to the dark east wing, opened the window, and got in.

After changing into clean clothes, she climbed out of the wall again, came to the door, and knocked on the brass ring on the door.

After a while, a woman's voice came from behind the door, "Who is it?"

"Your little baby is back!" Xi Huanyan tried her best to act coquettishly, and the black dog squatting beside her flicked its tongue and raised its paws to scratch the mahogany door.

There was no sound behind the door. Xi Huanyan put her ear to the door, and seemed to hear the sound of footsteps leaving. After a while, she came back.

She froze in her heart, and stood up quickly.

Squeak, the door opened, and the vines fell down with the woman's scream. How could the woman's vicious appearance be reminiscent of the gentle question just now!

"Little bastard, you can be patient, right? What time is it, where did you die!"

Xi Huanyan hurriedly avoided and ran into the courtyard, "I went to pick wild vegetables with Xiaohua next door!"

"Xiaohua went home in the morning!"

"I want to pick more and take Da Hei to a farther place!"

"Where are the wild vegetables!" The woman chased her to the lobby. She walked around the table and quickly grabbed a chicken leg and another piece of cake. "Accidentally dropped the basket into the ditch!"

"You're still running!" The woman panted, akimbo, and when she saw her hair was wet, her eyes twisted, "What's the matter with this hair!"

"I washed my head halfway!" Xi Huanyan was exhausted from her mother, and hurried to the east wing, "You should rest early, how old are you."

"roll!"

"Okay~" Xi Huanyan closed the door, inserted the wooden dowel, lit the lamp, threw the chicken leg to the black dog, and ate a piece of cake by herself.

Afterwards, she washed her hands, dried them carefully, climbed onto the carved stepping bed, sat down solemnly, shook off the wet clothes, and took out a package of things wrapped in oiled paper from the inner pocket.
