Chapter 283: Overnight in a barren village

Compared to the past trips to the mountains, Hu Xuanzong and his party who arrived at the Northwest Prefecture seemed a little more "cumbersome". Fortunately, it is worthy of gratitude that the six children are honest and obedient, and they rarely hear them complain about being tired.

After traveling around the mountains, Hu Xuanzong and his party also discovered that many villages that were once inhabited by the people have now become completely abandoned. Seeing the empty villages, Su Luoyan and others also knew that this was a last resort.

For the six children accompanying them, they prefer to stay in deserted villages at night than living in tents and RVs. For them, even if the village is not crowded, there are many more places for them to visit.

Mingting, who decided to stay overnight in a deserted village again, looked at the children playing in the yard and said with relief: "Senior brother, compared to the time before, they seem to have become more lively and cheerful now."

"Well! Finding some things for them to do will also make them slowly forget the pain they had before. When tomorrow, let's go into the mountains! There is basically nothing to see in the edge of the mountains. There may be some gains in the hinterland of the mountains and forests."

"Okay! Then tomorrow, we will bring one of them one by one, so there should be no problem, right?"

"You can take the difficult places to walk with you. If it's a easy way to walk, let them walk by themselves. I know you all feel sorry for these children, but such pampering may harm them, and you should teach them to be independent."

"They are still young!"

"Are you small? As old as them, Xiaoxuan and Xiao Min began to know how to take care of their younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, and even often go out to pick up garbage and exchange money. When they are as old as them, I already know how to cook and wash clothes."

Many people in the secular world know that children of poor people are early to become families. Unlike Mingting, who have loved relatives since childhood, Hu Xuanzong, Lin Yunxuan and others all know that orphans must learn to be independent earlier than others.

Hearing this, Mingting thought for a while and said, "Okay! I just hope that they can persist by then."

"Don't worry! After dinner, I will give you a few sets of robes and change them to them. Although they are not disciples of Hulu Temple for the time being, since they have been with us for so long, they should also give some benefits."

As Hu Xuanzong said this, Mingting also smiled and said, "Senior Brother, I found that you are also a stingy man. In fact, you care more about these children than us? No wonder you don't have much time tonight these days!"

"Is that true? Then come to my room tonight!"

"I don't want it!"

When Mingting, who was blushed and left with a blushing face when she was what Hu Xuanzong said, she still walked into the room chosen by Hu Xuanzong honestly. For her, she also liked to be with this senior brother.

For Su Luoyan and Chen Simiao, although they knew that Mingting walked into Hu Xuanzong's room, they would not say much. There are some things that they believe that Hu Xuanzong is more sensible than them and will never favor anyone alone.

At this time, Qin Huimin took the robe specially refined by Hu Xuanzong for the children and gave them to them to try on. Looking at these robes embroidered with gourd logos, the six children looked very happy.

Only Sun Yanxiu, the oldest, changed into a wardrobe and said, "Sister Min, is this what the master did for us?"

"Well! Although you all say that the master is a little harsh, he still loves you. With this outfit, you will walk in the mountains and forests without fear of being cut by branches or your body, and even snakes and insects will not dare to bite you."

"Really? Is this dress so magical?"

"You will see more magical things in the future. Senior brother, bring the amulets made by Master!"

In addition to these body-protecting robes, these amulets are really precious. After taking blood and refining, all the children hung the jade talisman on their chests. Feeling the warmth brought by jade, these children couldn't let go of it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yunxuan also said at the right time: "Tomorrow, we will enter the mountain and stay overnight in the wilderness. We will take you away if there are some difficult forests or steep walls. But I hope you can walk more by yourself, do you know?"

"Well! Thank you, Brother Xuan, we won't cause trouble for you!"

Listening to what Sun Yanxiu said, the other children nodded wisely. To them, they were already homeless orphans. Hulu Temple was their future home. People like Hu Xuanzong were their patron saints and family.

When these children finally fell asleep with anticipation and anxiety. Lin Yunxuan, who was responsible for nighttime alert and practice, suddenly felt something was wrong outside the village, and then stood up and stared at the jungle outside the entrance of the village.

Just as he was about to check it out, Hu Xuanzong's voice came from his ears, "Watch it! Nothing will happen!"

“Yes, Master!”

Knowing the situation outside the village, I believe the master should have understood it. Lin Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the place where he had meditated and practiced. In addition to the six sleeping children, Su Luoyan and others actually felt that there was a situation.

Looking at Ming Ting who was asleep, Hu Xuanzong who got up and put on his robes, walked calmly to the yard where he was temporarily staying. Seeing Hu Xuanzong coming out of the room, Lin Yunxuan also saluted and said, "Master, why are you out?"

"Come out and see! Although those things do not pose any threat to us, don't let them disturb the children."

“Yes, Master!”

As Hu Xuanzong waved his hand, he directly covered the room where the six children were resting with his mental power. In that case, no matter how much noise happened outside, I believe it would not disturb them.

After a while, Su Luoyan also walked out of the room and said, "Senior brother, are those hiding outside the village monkeys?"

"No! To be precise, they should be called mandrills, a legendary ghost. Unexpectedly, there is actually something here!"

"What should we do? Are we waiting here or take the initiative?"

"Don't worry! Although we are not afraid of them, if we really want to get entangled, it will make people feel a headache. In the mountains and forests, they move quickly. Even ordinary tigers and leopards can only recognize their plants when they encounter them, and it is even more difficult to deal with living in groups."

"Well! Then let's wait! Where is Sister Ting?"

"You're asleep! If you feel bored, then go back to your room to continue practicing. You don't have to worry about this little thing."

"Okay then! Then I'll go back to the room first!"

After releasing his mental power, he sensed that the mandrills guarding outside the village seemed to have average strength. He had not even reached the Golden Pill Realm. If he really dared to break into the village, he was afraid that their fate would not be too wonderful.

When Hu Xuanzong observed the mandrills every move, those mandrills that gathered when they smelled humans were actually secretly observing the situation in the village. It seemed that they felt the danger, which made them hesitate whether to enter the village!

With their wisdom, they also know that some humans are not easy to provoke. But they haven't seen humans for a long time, and they want to make a fuss. After hesitation, Hu Xuanzong felt that these marbles were indeed smarter than they thought!
