In Ganhe Village, only one light was on this night.
It was already dark, the moon was dark and the wind was high, this solitary lamp seemed insignificant among the mountains.
But the three people in the house, especially Wei Xingshan and Zhou Lingshi, cherished the light of this lonely lamp.
The two were sitting around the table, looking at the dead hare in front of them by the light.
The hare was caught by traps in the field near the entrance of the village this afternoon.
Zhou Lingshi casually dropped this animal trap last night. As a hunter, he would hit three poles if he had time or not.
The harvest is actually okay, but the information brought by this harvest makes people shudder.
Miao Xueping said, there is a visitor tonight.
Wei Xingshan looked at the rabbit in front of him, he didn't see anything strange after staring at it for a long time.
Zhou Lingshi, as an inheritance hunter with a seven-inch ability, knew that he couldn't see the tricks just by looking at them, so he had to get started.
He picked up the wild rabbit, touched it carefully, and suddenly said: "The bones of this rabbit's whole body have been crushed, so I said how limp it was when I picked it up this afternoon."
Wei Xingshan looked at Miao Xueping, and asked in a deep voice: "Mother, is there any explanation here?"
"This is called 'Bone-Broken Greeting Post'." Miao Xueping sat comfortably on the chair, her face was calm, and said lightly, "It's a secret method in the door. In the past, people in our door wanted to talk about it. When buying or selling or discussing things, the things discussed may not be seen in the light, so when you meet each other, you must give a secret sign.
This kind of "Bone Broken Greeting Post" is a kind of code.
All other bones of this rabbit were broken, only the skull was fine, which meant that the agreed time was tonight. "
"Since it's the method of the door, why don't I know?" Zhou Lingshi asked.
"The Wu family in southern Yunnan that you were apprenticed to before has only been established for more than a hundred years, and this method is very old. No one has used it in the past two hundred years. Of course you don't know." Miao Xueping explained, "Don't say it is You, even I have only seen records in the Miao family's classics, and this is the first time I have witnessed it with my own eyes."
After saying this, Miao Xueping looked out of the window and said coldly: "Since someone wants to talk to us, let's wait."
"Auntie, don't worry." Zhou Lingshi said, "I have already set up the surroundings of this village. I have set up twenty-three traps inside and outside. It doesn't matter if it is a person or a ghost. At least we have to peel off the skin."
"Godmother, don't listen to his nonsense." Wei Xingshan said, "As far as his trap is concerned, it's okay to deal with wild animals, but it's almost meaningless if you want to deal with people. But it's okay, just look at me."
Speaking of this, Wei Xingshan lifted his coat, and there were rows of grenades hanging inside:
"Did you see it? These eighteen grenades are the real ghosts. No matter who the visitor is, if he shows any disrespect to you, I, Wei Xingshan, will rush forward and die with him."
"Senior brother, it's over if you flatter me like this." Zhou Lingshi rolled his eyes, "You are looking down on our aunt's ability."
"I don't mean that." Wei Xingshan quickly waved his hand, and finally sighed, "Anyway, I've done business with Lao Lin a few times, and I know that I'm not strong enough. If I want to be considered a waste in this kind of situation, then You have to be willing to sacrifice yourself.”
"With so many grenades strapped to your body, you've put yourself out there, so what will I do if I'm by your side?" Zhou Lingshi asked, "Your Wei Xingshan died, but my Zhou Lingshi's life is very precious."
"Why is your weekly order more expensive than mine?"
"Our master likes to eat the dishes I cook." Zhou Lingshi smiled, "Also, even if I could die with you, where did you put our aunt? Isn't she by our side?"
"What can I do as a mother?" Wei Xingshan said, "If I really hit the grenade, she would have disappeared long ago."
"Then since the godmother will not be hurt by the grenade, why do you think that those who dare to disrespect the godmother will be afraid of your grenade?" Zhou Lingshi asked.
"It makes sense." Wei Xingshan was immediately convinced, and looked at Miao Xueping, who was rolling her eyes, "Godmother, why don't I lie down on the opposite tree and put the gun up?"
"Okay, I know the filial piety of the two of you." Miao Xueping said helplessly, "But if you meet someone later, you must remember, just stay where you are, don't make trouble for me, this is treating me The greatest filial piety."
As soon as the words fell, Miao Xueping's expression changed slightly: "Here comes the man."
When Zhou Lingshi and Wei Xingshan heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears to listen to the movement outside the house.
It's a pity that they are not the hunters of the Su family after all. At this moment, they can't hear anything except the wind outside.
The two looked at each other, not daring to breathe, let alone move.
They all knew in their hearts that regardless of the seniority of the hunter in front of them, she was an inheritance hunter who could keep pace with their master just based on her ability.
The other party didn't know where it came from, but since he dared to break his bones and ask for a post at the entrance of the village, it was definitely not for the two of them.
The person the other party wants to visit must be Miao Xueping, one of the most powerful hunters in the world.
Just don't help yourself, trap grenades and the like, if you say it, it shouldn't be of much use.
Just waiting quietly like this, after about three or four minutes, Zhou Lingshi's eyes lit up, and he finally heard it.
"clatter."
"clatter."
"clatter."
At first it sounded like a beeping sound, but upon closer listening, it wasn't.
It's not that crisp, and the sound is muffled.
Zhou Lingshi quickly recognized that it was the sound of a wooden stick being stuck on the ground.
Wei Xingshan obviously heard it too, and said softly: "Crutches, this seems to be a..."
Zhou Lingshi quickly waved his hand, signaling Wei Xingshan not to say those two words.
He had already heard that it was a cripple, and he was afraid that the unobstructed Wei Xing Mountain Pass would annoy people.
Dare to visit Miao Xueping alone at night, then he must be some kind of powerful person, and killing his two senior brothers is just a matter of exaggeration.
When dealing with this kind of people who don't know the depth of the door, you must pay special attention to it, and don't let the trouble come out of your mouth.
Wei Xingshan was clever after all, so he also shut up now.
I only heard the sound of the crutches getting closer, and finally stopped outside the door of this house.
"Crack...crack."
One long, two short, three knocks on the door, and the visitor said loudly outside the door: "I am going to call on the Miao family's inheritance hunters from the bone doctor in Xiaren Mountain."
"Please come in." Miao Xueping replied.
With a "squeak" the door was divided into left and right, and the people outside the door showed their faces in front of Wei Xingshan and Zhou Lingshi.
This is a man, wearing a long white cloth gown, with a green cloth bag on his shoulders, a pair of black cloth shoes exposed underneath, and a cane under his left armpit.
This man's hair was already gray, but his face looked handsome, without a trace of wrinkle, and his age could not be guessed.
He stepped into the door, leaned his crutch against the door, limped over by himself, sat down near the table, and faced Miao Xueping.
The man who claimed to be a doctor in the mountains, looked at Miao Xueping who was sitting across from him, and said with a slight smile: "I thought it was a hunter from the Miao family who came here. It turned out to be you. I know you, your name is Miao. Xueping."
Miao Xueping was slightly taken aback, feeling very strange.
It is true that she is a heritage hunter, but she actually went out to hunt, that is, the time she spent with Lin Leshan more than two years after she first made some small achievements in hunting skills.
For the next thirty years, she has been living in seclusion near the Miao family's cottage, not to mention outsiders, even insiders, most of them have only heard of her name, and few know her.
So she asked, "Sir, how do you know me?"
"Thirty-six years ago, your adult hunting was completed in this He's hunting ground." The lame doctor in white clothes said slowly, "That little girl back then rode the Miao's ground dragon in this mountain, and ran so fast. It's really fast. But at that time, I was not limping, so I could keep up."
Hearing these words, Miao Xueping's original calm expression suddenly disappeared, her eyes widened with shock.
She quickly stood up, clasped her fists and asked, "Are you... the uncle who saved me back then?"
"You don't know whether it was a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, or you were too young and ignorant to be too frivolous, and other beasts of different species looked down on you, so you insisted on chasing after the beast king here." Make a move, you, the proud generation of the Miao family, will be here."
"Miao Xueping pays homage to her benefactor!"
While talking, Miao Xueping took a step across the table to give way, and she was about to bow down.
As a result, the hunter who borrowed the Dzogchen was so shocked that he couldn't go on worshiping.
The white shirted man held his hand far away and said: "I haven't seen you for more than 30 years, you Miao Xueping has made great progress, maybe you can really help this time."
Miao Xueping couldn't go on worshiping this time, so she knew that the ability of the person in front of her was still higher than her own,
Miao Xueping felt a little strange when this person asked her to help, but she didn't ask immediately, but said: "I was young and ignorant, and I didn't ask for my benefactor's name. Now, please give me Gao's name first."
"My surname is Ma." The white-clothed man said calmly, "I am the prince Ma who has been passed down by word of mouth for hundreds of miles around here."
