Chapter 391 Mountain Village

The mountain road was rugged. After walking for a while, Xu Mu felt that his right leg made of wooden sticks was a bit inconvenient, so he turned around and walked into the nearby jungle and carefully selected a large dark brown tree.

His right hand pointed like a knife, and his nails popped out like sharp blades. The big tree as hard as iron in front of him was like tofu under his hands, being cut into various parts, and then quickly assembled into a prosthetic limb with exquisite structure.

Xu Mu put it on his lap, then wrapped it in the animal skin given by Ah Yue, stood up and walked a few steps.

"Apart from being a little fragile, there aren't many problems in other aspects!"

Because he was afraid of attracting attention and causing unnecessary trouble, Xu Mu did not make a prosthetic hand.

After packing his things, Xu Mu continued walking down the mountain, but it took a lot of time to make the prosthetic limbs, and Xu Mu didn't know the way. By the time he reached the village at the foot of the mountain, it was completely dark, and the food A Yue gave him was too late. It had been eaten up by him long ago.

Xu Mu thought about going to the village to ask for directions and see if he could get some food in exchange.

After entering the village, I discovered that the village was very poor. Most of the houses were thatched houses, with mud walls and signs of damage everywhere, as if they had been hit hard by something.

Only a few families in the center have neat brick houses, but there are also signs of damage on the courtyard walls.

Bang bang!

"Is anyone home?"

After Xu Mu entered the village, he knocked on the door of a nearby house and shouted.

There was a slight movement in the house, but unfortunately no one responded.

Xu Mu tried several more, but all were in the same situation.

"A stranger knocked on the door in the middle of the night. If it were me, I probably wouldn't open the door."

Xu Mu laughed at himself. He had originally planned to give up and just find a place outside the village to stay for one night. He would ask for directions tomorrow before leaving. At this moment, a person in front of him who had never knocked on the door opened the door. A man in his thirties opened the door. A woman of many years stuck her head out from inside.

"Where are you from? What's the matter?"

The woman's complexion was sallow, her clothes were simple, and she looked like an ordinary farmer. However, the circles under her eyes were slightly dark, and she obviously had not slept well.

"I'm a foreigner. I got lost when I went hunting in the mountains. I want to ask for directions." Xu Mu stood there and smiled.

The woman stretched her head and looked Xu Mu up and down. When she saw that Xu Mu had only one arm and was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, her expression immediately relaxed a lot.

She said: "After leaving the village, go straight south. You will be in Sanxin Town about twenty or thirty miles away!"

"Thank you, sis!"

"Sister? Haha! You kid is really interesting!"

The woman couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"hehe!"

Xu Mu smiled and didn't care about the other party's teasing. He turned around and walked out of the village.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then hurried out of the yard, chased him, and stood in front of him.

"You're not going to town now, are you?" the woman asked in surprise.

"Yes! Is there any problem?" Xu Mu asked confused.

"Didn't your master tell you not to travel at night?"

The woman looked at him in disbelief.

"Thank you for your concern, eldest sister! I'm not afraid!"

Xu Mu smiled and was about to go around the other party and continue walking. Although he had just arrived in this world, he still had some confidence in his own strength.

The woman hurriedly reached out and grabbed his clothes.

"You are so brave, youngster! When you encounter something dirty, it will be too late to regret it! Forget it, I look at you! Come and stay at my house!"

The woman ignored Xu Mu's objection and pulled Xu Mu towards her yard.

"This... okay!"

Xu Mu originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. It was a new arrival, so it was better to be more stable. He was not in a hurry anyway.

After being brought into the courtyard by the woman, the woman quickly closed the door, as if she was afraid of something.

Xu Mu looked around and found that the woman's house only had a long thatched house and a small room. Rice straw was scattered in the yard. There was also a small vegetable garden, and crops such as peppers and garlic were hung on the wall.

It looks like an ordinary farmhouse.

At the same time, Xu Mu also heard slight breathing in the room. There should be someone else.

"Have you eaten yet?" the woman turned around and asked with a smile.

"No!"

Xu Mu shook his head. Even Ah Yue's bit of dried meat was not enough to stuff his teeth.

"Go inside and I'll serve you some food!"

"Thank you!"

"You are so polite kid!"

The woman smiled and entered the small house next to her, while Xu Mu entered the big house and could see clearly what was going on in the house through the lights inside.

There are two small cubicles, one large and one small. The larger one should be for women. There is a big bed inside, and a seven or eight-year-old boy is sleeping soundly.

In the small side room on the other side, there are a lot of sundries piled up.

There are only two large tables in the main room, one is the altar table, with several seats on it, including the late father, late mother, and husband. It is obvious that the woman is a widow.

Fortunately, Xu Mu didn't make a prosthetic hand, otherwise the other party might not dare to let him into the house seeing that his limbs were intact.

The other was a dining table with a black surface and several small stools around it. Xu Mu sat down on one of them.

Soon, the woman brought the food, a large bowl of coarse bran rice and half a bowl of pickled vegetables.

"That's all, don't dislike it!"

The woman put the bowl down and said.

"It's already very good! Thank you!"

Xu Mu smiled and picked up his rice bowl and started eating.

The rice was indeed not delicious, but Xu Mu was not a delicate person, so he ate it all in a few seconds and expressed his thanks again.

The woman put away the dishes and chopsticks, and tidied up the utility room next to it, creating a shelter for Xu Mu to sleep.

"If you hear anything moving at night, don't come out to check, okay?"

After Xu Mu was settled, the woman reminded him again before going back to his room to rest.

Xu Mu thought of those dilapidated courtyard walls and wondered if the two were related, but he had no intention of exploring.

Again, if you’re new here, don’t ask for trouble.

Xu Mu lay on the hard wooden bed, closed his eyes to rest, and thought about the next path.

The first step is to go to the city to understand the specific situation of this world, and then find a way to recover and leave here.

There is no spiritual energy in this world. No matter how strong his physique is, he will eventually end his lifespan, so he must leave as soon as possible. There are still three people staying in the God Refining Cauldron. He cannot leave them alone. It will be fine for a short time, but it will happen after a long time. of human life.

Time passed unconsciously while he was thinking, and soon it was late at night. Judging from his breathing, the woman had completely fallen asleep.

Boom, boom, boom!

Muffled footsteps came from outside the village, and then the footsteps got closer and closer, and stopped when they reached the door of the woman's house.

Xu Mu slowly opened his eyes and said somewhat helplessly: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Boom!

The fragile courtyard wall was knocked down by the unknown creature, and then the supports in the vegetable garden were trampled to pieces.

The woman had obviously woken up, but she didn't make any movement. With his sharp hearing, Xu Mu could sense her pounding heart and trembling body.

At the same time, there was a whining sound, as if someone had their mouth covered. Xu Mu guessed it was the child next to the woman.

It was impossible for people nearby to understand such a loud movement, but it was eerily quiet.

Boom!

The door of the main room was pushed open by a critical attack, and the unknown creature stepped into it, hesitated, and walked towards the room where the woman was.

Xu Mu's eyes flickered.

Is it intentional? Or is it really a coincidence?
