Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 11 Arriving at Liugou Village, an unexpected person!

It’s noon!

The sun was scorching, and even the air seemed to be distorted in a rare way. A carriage was running fast on the loess mud road.

The two people outside the carriage were sweating profusely and their breathing was a little disordered.

"Master, we are almost there. Liugou Village is just ahead."

The people on the carriage were Lu Xuan and his companions who had come all the way from the county town.

The curtain covering the interior of the carriage was lifted by a big hand and hung aside. Lu Xuan's eyes fixed and he looked into the distance.

In the distance, some buildings and human figures can be vaguely seen, and there are sparse figures swaying on the road.

Not long after, the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

What comes into view is a huge stone with some moss still around it and three big characters carved in the middle.

Liugou Village!
The houses in front gradually became clearer, and there were more and more people. Not far from the village gate, there was a group of people gathered there.

"what!"

"Master, there are officials over there. What's going on?"

At this time, Li San's doubtful voice was heard, and Lu Xuan also saw the officials in the crowd.

Not only Lu Xuan was observing the village, but the villagers also noticed the movement at the village gate.

Because a carriage was quietly parked outside the entrance of Liugou Village, and there were three people standing there.

In such a strange scene, it would be difficult for Lu Xuan and the others to avoid being discovered.

In less than a moment, a group of villagers from Liugou Village slowly came to the village gate and looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared with some confusion.

Then, a path was cleared among the villagers, and an elderly-looking man was helped out.

The old man had pale silver hair and a snow-white beard on his chin.

He looked at Lu Xuan and the others carefully, and finally looked at Lu Xuan who was standing in the middle.

Lu Xuan was wearing a black brocade robe and had an extraordinary temperament, which surprised the old man a little. Finally, he spoke to Lu Xuan politely.

"Dear guests, who are you, where are you from, and what brings you to my Liugou Village?"

"I am the village chief of Liugou Village."

Seeing the old man asking, Lu Xuan bowed and then spoke slowly.

"Village Chief, I came from the county town, and my family happens to run a small medicine shop."

"I left the county this time to purchase medicinal herbs from outside the county. I happened to come to your village along the way and wanted to ask you something."

"Oh, so you are the distinguished guest who came to the county to purchase medicinal herbs. I am so sorry for not welcoming you."

Lu Xuan's words surprised the village chief of Liugou Village, and a look of joy appeared on his old face.

Because one of the biggest sources of income for Liugou Village is the purchase of medicinal herbs by outsiders.

A large number of the strong men in the village rely on going into the deep mountains and forests to pick medicinal herbs and sell them to outsiders like Lu Xuan.

However, the people who came to purchase medicinal herbs this time were a bit strange. Usually, people who purchased medicinal herbs came in groups.

He had never seen a situation like Lu Xuan and the others before.

There are only a few people here, and they have a carriage. Is the world outside so safe now?

Although he was puzzled about the origins of Lu Xuan and the others, the old village chief did not dwell on it for too long.

Instead, it seemed as if he had thought of something.

The joy on his face just now disappeared, replaced by sadness, and his old face looked like dried orange peel.

Finally, the old village chief said apologetically: "Dear guest, I am so sorry."

"During this period, our Liugou Village had some problems, and we just didn't have the manpower to go deep into the mountains to pick medicinal herbs."

"On behalf of Liugou Village, I would like to express my apologies to you, my dear guest. I hope you will forgive me."

After all, people came all the way to Liugou Village, but ended up not even having the medicinal herbs, which would affect the reputation of Liugou Village in the future.

Therefore, the old village chief lowered his attitude, his face full of apology. "It's okay, old village chief."

"It's just right. I've come a long way and want to find a place to rest for a few days. What do you think, old village chief..."

"no!"

The old village chief understood what Lu Xuan meant, became a little anxious, and quickly refused loudly.

"Dear guest, to be honest, something has happened in Liugou Village these days, causing some inconvenience."

"I'm afraid that I might accidentally implicate our distinguished guest. If that happens, we in Liugou Village won't know what to do."

"Dear guest, please hurry while it's still early. You can still reach the post station not far from here before dark."

Faced with the old village chief's stern refusal and the accident he mentioned, Lu Xuan was a little surprised.

Something happened?

Could it be those dirty things?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan looked at the old village chief who sternly refused, and an idea came to his mind.

go?
That's impossible.

That kind of extraordinary and strange thing is what Lu Xuan desires most now.

"Old Village Chief, we have come a long way, and the horses pulling the cart are already at their limit. Could you please allow us to stay here for one night?"

Lu Xuan looked very tired, which made the old village chief fall into deep thought, not knowing whether to refuse.

At this time, an aisle was cleared outside the crowd, and five or six men in yamen runners' robes strode in.

"Hey, what are you guys doing gathered over there? Where's the old village chief? I have something to ask you."

The leading yamen runner looked a little fat and had a face that looked a little like a young boy.

"oops!"

“You, you, you…”

The fat young yamen runner who had just entered set his eyes on Lu Xuan.

He immediately looked as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Oh my god!"

"I told you this village is weird, full of ghosts!"

When Lu Xuan saw the fat yamen runner, he frowned slightly and looked at him with some surprise.

"Liang Cheng? Why are you here?"

"Oh my god, ghosts can talk, help me."

The fat yamen runner heard Lu Xuan speak and say his own name.

Without any hesitation, the fat yamen runner wanted to run behind him as if he was escaping for his life.

But no matter how much strength the fat yamen runner used, his body did not move at all.

It turned out that a big hand was tightly grasping the collar behind the fat yamen runner's neck, and the owner of this big hand was Lu Xuan.

"Liang Cheng, you're not in the county, why did you come all the way here?"

"Besides, it's broad daylight now. It's too early for you to see a ghost."

Lu Xuan secretly mobilized the energy and blood in his body, and his voice was as loud as a bell, which immediately woke the fat yamen runner up.

"It seems right."

"No, cousin, you, you, why are you here?"

It turned out that Lu Xuan and this fat yamen runner were relatives.

Lu Xuan’s sudden appearance almost scared the fat yamen runner to death.

This cannot be blamed on him. In the fat yamen runner's impression, Lu Xuan had never left the county town since he was a child.

This happened so suddenly that everyone felt like they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
