Chapter 4: Out of the mountain

Li Chaoge stood up, looked around, and began to pack his clothes.

The night is getting dark, their home has no lamp oil, and the room is dark and can’t see my fingers. For ordinary people, this kind of environment is very inconvenient, but Li Chaoge is a martial artist. Although the realm has fallen now, but the experience of the previous life is still there, the mere darkness can’t help her.

Li Chaoge first went to the corner to look through the box. Sure enough, her memory was correct. The armguards, bows, daggers, etc. were all stored here. These weapons seem to be completely scrapped by Li Chaoge today, but there are things that are better than bare-handed. Li Chaoge is not picky and skillfully equips himself with weapons.

After the weapons were decorated, Li Chaoge thought about it, but he couldn’t even think of what else he could bring. Old man Zhou clanged poorly, except for the original mentality, there is nothing valuable in this house, and it doesn’t hurt to throw it away. Li Chaoge pulled out the only two sets of clean clothes from the closet and wrapped them firmly in the bag. She planned to go out with her things at dawn tomorrow morning.

As for coiling… there is no coiling at home and no preparation is required.

Li Chaoge was making the final count, when suddenly his ears moved and he heard footsteps outside. Li Chaoge’s eyes darkened, calmly put away the package, and pressed his hand to his waist.

A dagger is tied to that place. She had just quenched anesthetic on the dagger, no matter whether the person who came was a ghost or a ghost, she could take his life within three steps.

The visitor also seemed to hesitate, the closer to Li Chaoge’s house, the more hesitated his footsteps. Finally, he stopped outside the gate and knocked carefully: “Brother Chao, are you there?”

Time passed for too long, and Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment before recognizing it was the voice of the neighbor’s tiger. Xiaohu was the one who yelled that Li Chaoge had no father and no mother when he was a child. Later, he was beaten by Li Chaoge.

If Li Chaoge hadn’t practiced Old Man Zhou’s mental methods, had clear ears and clear eyes, and had a superior memory, she would really not remember who it was.

Since you are someone you know, there is no need to attack. Li Chaoge put away the dagger, went out to open the door, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Xiaohu was tangling outside the door, and suddenly the door opened. Xiaohu was unprepared and was shocked.

Now Xiaohu is no longer an ignorant and fearless little fat man in his childhood. After he was beaten by Li Chaoge, he left a deep psychological shadow, and he dared not face Li Chaoge for many years. He came here today to be mentally prepared. He didn’t expect that after opening the door, he was caught off guard to see a bright and arrogant and thrilling face, Xiaohu’s words were stuck, and all his previous psychological preparations were lost.

Is this brother Chao like a tomboy? He avoided this area for many years, and Li Chaoge was also alone, so that the little tiger didn’t pay attention, Li Chaoge actually grew into this look.

Li Chaoge saw Xiaohu open his mouth in astonishment, staring at her in a daze. Li Chaoge raised an eyebrow lightly and asked again: “What the **** is it with you?”

After all, she has been the commander of the Town Demon Division for many years. In her previous life, when she tortured prisoners, whether she was a veteran who was accustomed to seeing a thousand sails or a military commander who went to battle to kill the enemy, she couldn’t help showing fear when she saw her. Year old boy? Xiaohu’s body was inexplicably tight, and even the hairs on his arms stood up: “My mother said that today is the first year of the new year after all, you are alone, not like you. My mother asked me to deliver dumplings. If you don’t dislike it, you can Go to our house for the New Year.”

Li Chaoge lowered his head and saw the coarse porcelain bowl in Xiaohu’s hands. Li Chaoge couldn’t help thinking in his heart, had something similar happened on this day in the previous life?

It seems to have happened, but was rejected by Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge, who was sixteen years old, didn’t want to owe favors, but at the moment Li Chaoge saw the bowl in Xiaohu’s hand and suddenly felt embarrassed.

When she was a princess, she was greeted by everyone, and she deserved to enjoy endless love, but in fact, everyone wanted her to die, and her husband personally killed her. Unexpectedly, now, she has become a humble, ordinary, powerless orphan, but someone is willing to open a door for her.

After experiencing past lives, Li Chaoge knows best how rare kindness is. Li Chaoge let out a soft look, nodded and smiled, and said, “Thank you. But I have already eaten, and I will go to bed soon, so I won’t disturb your family reunion. Give me a sentence to Aunt Zhao.”

She refused, Xiaohu let out a cry, seemingly melancholy and regretful, and said, “If you are alone and afraid, you can go to our house at any time. You keep this bowl of dumplings, they are all folks from the village, so you don’t need to make such a distinction. I’ll go back first. Now, go to bed.”

Xiaohu couldn’t help but cram the bowl into Li Chao singer. In fact, Li Chaoge could escape, but when he touched the edge of the bowl, Li Chaoge was not willing to push away.

It’s rare that someone treats her well, and after a few years, they will gnash their teeth when they mention her again. Seeing Li Chaoge accept it, Xiaohu’s face turned red not knowing why, and hurriedly said: “It’s windy outside, you go back. I’m leaving!”

Little Tiger ran out quickly as he spoke. Li Chaoge stopped him and said, “Little Tiger, I went into the mountain a few days ago and saw some land turned up. This area has been restless, and after a while, maybe the dragon will turn over. You can discuss with your parents and choose a day to move to the city. It is not convenient to do anything in the mountains. It is better to go to the city to make a living, and you can find opportunities to study.”

Xiaohu didn’t expect Li Chaoge to stop him. He scratched the back of his head. He was still embarrassed to read Li Chaoge, and said with a smile: “The book is read by a gentleman, and I have the strength to hunt. How can I expect the things of the family? Let’s talk about it. , You have to go through the Black Forest to enter the city, you can’t go.”

The Black Forest is the woods surrounding the village. The sky is not visible all the year round, and the trees are dense and dark. Although the Black Forest is overgrown with plants, it is actually a barren land. The forest is densely covered with miasma, insects and snakes are rampant, and what is even more frightening is that there are monsters in the depths of the dense forest.

Li Chaoge also believed these words in her previous life. Although she could easily bring down the beast, she did not dare to go deep into the forest. They have been trapped by a nihilistic rumor for many years. If it weren’t for the destruction of the Black Forest next year, they would have to cross the Black Forest. The people in the village still don’t know how long they will be deceived.

Li Chaoge said: “There are no monsters in the Black Forest, just a few small spirits pretending to be a ghost. As long as there are many people, they are not afraid of them at all.”

Xiaohu wrinkled even tighter when he heard Li Chaoge’s words: “Brother Chao, where did you hear these words? You can’t rely on your martial arts to be arrogant. If you think this way, you will lose your life.”

Xiaohu thought that Li Chaoge was arrogant, and persuaded her to step into practice and not to be too arrogant. Li Chaoge felt helpless. She had seen it with her own eyes in her previous life. Naturally, she knew that the monsters in the Black Forest were pure rumors. But she couldn’t explain it to Xiaohu, so she could only answer silently, without arguing.

Seeing Li Chaoge not speaking, Xiaohu thought she had listened. He sighed with relief and said, “You can’t say such nonsense in the future. Some people have seen it with their own eyes. The monsters in the Black Forest are so scary that they can swallow alive people! You! Don’t let the mind of trespassing into the Black Forest alone!”

Li Chaoge replied indifferently, thinking that she had this plan. After Xiaohu finished his explanation, he found that there was really nothing to say. He hesitated for a while and tentatively said, “Then I go first?”

Li Chaoge suddenly asked, “How long is this year?”

Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, wondering why Li Chaoge would ask such questions: “This year is the 22nd year of Yonghui, and today is the first day of the new year. Brother Chao, what’s wrong with you, why is it weird today?”

Sure enough, the same as her guess. This year is the 22nd year of Yonghui, she is sixteen years old. This year, Gao Di hasn’t died yet, and the Queen of Heaven is still dignified and virtuous in front of the queen, showing no tendency to become the emperor. The Town Demon Division was not established, and the lost Princess Anding did not return to Luoyang.

Everything went back to the time before it started, even one year before she knew her identity in her previous life.

Li Chaoge confirmed his thoughts. Rarely, he smiled at Xiaohu and said: “It’s nothing, I am confused and can’t remember the year. Xiaohu, you have a good memory. When you go to the city in the future, you should look for opportunities to read more. Take care of yourself.”

Clouds in the sky came after another, the stars were dim, and the black forest behind it was like a giant beast with a big mouth, rustling, it was scary just looking at it. Li Chaoge turned her back to the darkness, but her eyes were black and white, brilliant.

Like a star left in the world.

Xiaohu was stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses: “Okay.”

There was the sound of Li Chaoge closing the door, and Xiaohu scratched his head, feeling that the ground seemed to be hot, and he couldn’t even stand. He laughed twice, suddenly jumped three feet high, and hurried to his home.

After sending off Xiaohu, Li Chaoge found the medicine bottle that Old Man Zhou had prepared before, and placed it on the table, leaning against the bowl of dumplings. Li Chaoge was used to being cautious, not eating outsiders’ food, but Xiaohu’s kindness was accepted by her.

There is revenge for revenge, and there is gratitude for gratitude. This is the rule that Old Man Zhou taught her. Li Chaoge had planned to take these medicines on the road, but she could be careful, and leave these medicines to Xiaohu’s family.

Li Chaoge had a knife on her body, and she didn’t dislike it, so she lay directly on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. This has been her habit for many years, and if she was asked to take off the sword, she would not be able to sleep.

On the second day, just after five hours, there was movement in the most remote yard in the southwest of Heilin Village. The courtyard door opened and closed gently, and a cyan figure was riding the dawn, rushing towards the black forest where the end could not be seen without looking back.

The Black Forest is huge, the sky is not visible under the tree canopy, and the fallen leaves have accumulated a thick layer. I don’t know what is hidden underneath. Even if Li Chaoge had seen many monsters, he did not dare to be big at this moment. She looked at the place steadily at every step, and walked cautiously to the southeast along the dry place.

The villagers of the previous generation came out of the woods from the southeast. Although they went around far, they were safe. Li Chaoge planned to go out of the mountain from the southeast, equip the saddle when he arrives in the town, and then rush to Luoyang at full speed.

The situation in North Korea is changing rapidly, especially if she still wants to pursue a great cause, the sooner she returns to the center of the court, the sooner the layout, the greater the chance of winning in the future. She returned to Luoyang at the age of eighteen in her previous life. It was too late in many respects. In this life, she wanted to set herself on the right track from the beginning.

Li Chaoge walked carefully like this for five days. She calculated the route silently, knowing that she was close to the core of the Black Forest, the most dangerous and mysterious place. The monster that is rumored to eat people is here.

The sun went down and the forest quickly dimmed. In the dense forest, he couldn’t rush at night. Li Chaoge tied the package tightly on his body, and found a pleasing tree nearby, and leaped onto the branches of the tree without disturbing a single leaf.

Li Chaoge closed his eyes on the branch of the tree, holding the sword in his arms, intending to sleep like this. The light was getting darker and darker, and the wind passed through the treetops, and a rustling sound came from the depths of the woods.

Li Chaoge slowly opened his eyes, silently squeezing the hilt of his sword.

Something is coming.
