After listening to the descriptions of the two, the old village chief looked at the three old people who were enjoying the shade together, and one of them said slowly: "Speaking of losing children, it has happened in all dynasties. Take away orphans and children who cannot be supported by the family. However, ordinary people have their own spheres of influence and will also take into account their own reputation. As for some crooked people, abducting children and selling them to remote areas is difficult to trace. already."

Qin Le was stunned for a while. He grew up in the family, and never thought about the situation where his ignorant young son was forced to leave his hometown and be sold everywhere, so he couldn't help sighing.

"As for the legend of the opening of the mountain every five years," the old village chief said after thinking for a while, "it was rumored for a while before, and some people went to find it. But the people who went to the mountain did not encounter ghosts hitting the wall and wandering in the mountains. I got nothing in one night, even if I was injured in an accident while climbing the mountain, almost no one really made it clear whether it happened or not. After a long time, everyone no longer believed it. "

"Does the village chief know where the mountain is in the rumor?" Mu Xiyun asked.

The old village chief thought for a while, "About two hundred miles west of here, Fenglin Town."

Chapter 69 Jinger (one more)

Early the next morning, the three of Mu Xiyuan bid farewell to the old village chief and set off for Baihua Valley.

Zhang Jinjin had left the afternoon before, saying that he had business to deal with. Huang Zelin and the two sisters studied for two days, and finally divided the medicine into two copies, each with one copy.

When the three of Mu Xiyuan came to the entrance of the village, they saw Mo Yan stretched out his arms around Gu Qingqiao's neck and whispered in his ear.

"Cough, cough, cough." Huang Zelin coughed twice when he saw Mu Xiyun and the others coming.

Seeing the two of them from a distance, Mu Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, but she remembered the dream in Nanping City that day, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Qin Le: ...why do I feel that the atmosphere is a little awkward?

Gu Qingqiao pushed Mo Yan away, his face a little red. The hand in his sleeve was tightly clutching a small porcelain jar, which was quietly stuffed to him by Mo Yan just now, the witch's words with a smile still echoed in her ears: "Sister has seen it these days, your little fairy is gentle. Lovely and considerate, I'm afraid it will be a sought-after product, remember to strike first!"

Mo Yan was pushed away by Gu Qingqiao, and he didn't take it seriously. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "I've been disturbed for the past few days. Qingqiao's body is no longer in serious trouble. Our two sisters have successfully retired, so we will go back to the mountain. Everyone. , there will be a period later!"

These remarks were extremely clean and neat, and everyone seemed to think that the beautiful scene just now was just their own imagination.

For a time, the expressions of everyone present were different.

Su Yanjun smiled and said, "In that case, let's go too."

Young people ride horses, Qin Le is still the little donkey, Huang Zelin was injured not long ago when he was old, Zhang Jinjin bought him a carriage. The carriage is quite spacious, with all the equipment for sitting and sleeping. Elder Huang spends all day researching medicines in the carriage. He also takes turns to check the pulse of the young people who are traveling with him, and proposes some maintenance and practice suggestions.

A few days later, everyone came to Fenglin Town.

There were people coming and going in the town, and the floating crowd formed two long queues. Most of the people who leave the town are residents of Fenglin Town, and almost every adult is holding or holding a child; those who enter the town are mostly women. Abandon.

"This eldest sister," Mu Xiyun stopped a townsman and asked softly, "Why do so many people leave with their children?"

The woman holding the child looked at the group of people in front of her vigilantly, was moved by Mu Xiyuan's soft smile, put her heart down, and explained: "Xianjun may know that there is a monster in the mountains outside Fenglin Town, five years old. As soon as I leave the mountain, I have to select the children from the world and bring them to the mountains to raise them. It is said that it has been a few days. I quickly took the children and went back to my hometown to avoid them, and I will come back when the monster returns to the mountain."

"There really is such a monster!" Qin Le sighed, "does it only catch children in Fenglin Town?"

"That's not true." The woman added: "No one believed it before, but five years ago, the child next door to my house was really snatched away and never came back."

The family members who were with her were already urging her, and the woman hurriedly nodded to everyone and left with the child in her arms.

"Alas, pity the hearts of the world's parents." Su Yanjun sighed, "Those who left the town were for the safety of the children, and those who entered the town were all looking for their children."

A few people entered the town, and there was a post station in Jinjin Pavilion not far from the town entrance.

Fenglin Town is not big, there are many people looking for monsters these days, and most of the inns are full. A few people stayed at the station directly.

Qin Le went to the letter office to report safety to his family, and came back after a while.

"A letter from my family said that the old man from Yinlong Villa has been brought back, and the old uncle in the clan has gone to recognize it. The wooden-legged man is really the elder of the Qin family, and his name is Qin Baolin."

"Qin Baolin?" Huang Zelin said suddenly. "But Qin Baolin who lives in the Yinlonghu Hut?"

Several people were taken aback. The Yinlong Villa had long since been abandoned, and no one knew about the hut by the Yinlong Lake. How could Huang Zelin reveal his location? Qin Le hurriedly asked, "Elder Huang knows him?"

"Oh, it happened more than 60 years ago." Huang Zelin sighed: "Wen Jianlong, the owner of Hidden Dragon Villa, asked me to see a doctor for his friend. Because of something in the mountains, I delayed my departure for ten days. , when I arrived at Yinlong Villa, it was a mess."

Huang Zelin, who was in his thirties, was already a famous doctor, and was respected by various immortals for his precise medication and treatment to promote cultivation. Wen Jianlong's son had always been weak, and he did not get better after various treatments. He asked Huang Zelin several times. He was really embarrassed to shirk it again, and Huang Zelin decided to go for it.

Huang Zelin had been to Hidden Dragon Villa a few years ago, and he was very fond of the elegant pavilions and the scenery of lakes and mountains in the villa. Unexpectedly, when he went to the villa, the scene he saw was quite different.
