Su Muzhe stood at the door for a while, but did not go back to his room. He thought for a while and came to the door of Li Cheng's study - Li Cheng's study happened to be next to his room - and then reached out and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Su Muzhe."

"..." Silence was in it for a moment, and then said, "Come in."

The door was not locked from the inside, so Su Muzhe easily entered the study.

Li Cheng sat at the desk, looking at the book with a focused look on his face. Even the village chief's house was no different from other families in Huangshi Village. Li Cheng's study room did not have electric lamps. At this time, the lighting was an oil lamp placed in front of the desk. Beyond the relatively bright candlelight, there was an extra exquisite glass lampshade, and the lampshade was carefully depicted with a very exquisite pattern of auspicious clouds, which looked more like a craft.

The dark night quietly penetrated through the window, giving Li Cheng a deep shadow on his side. As the candlelight flashed, his face looked particularly mysterious.

After seeing someone coming in, Li Cheng had no movement for a long time, so he raised his head from the book. As a result, he happened to see Su Muzha's eyes full of inquiry.

"What are you looking at?" Li Cheng frowned habitually, his expression a little impatient.

Su Muzhe shook his head, "What book are you reading?"

Li Cheng closed the book in his hand, "It's nothing, it's just an ordinary travel notes. You can sit here."

He pointed to a wooden chair on the other side of the desk.

Su Muzhe took two steps forward and sat down.

Seeing him looking calm and strolling in the garden, Li Cheng couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't you say you want to save your friend? Why don't you take action?"

"No hurry," Su Muzhe looked at the huge clock hanging on the wall. It was only half past nine. "It's still early, and I don't need to do it myself."

Li Cheng muttered, "Freak."

Su Mu covered his eyes that were on his nose and looked at the glass oil seal on the table, "Don't you use electricity in your village?"

Li Cheng's eyes suddenly turned dark - even in such a dim environment, Su Muzhai could see clearly - Li Cheng sat sideways on the chair, making a leisurely posture, "Did you find it? No one here uses electricity. In other words, the people in the village don't know the existence of electricity at all."

"What?" Su Muzhe was shocked and spoke a little difficult, "Didn't anyone have been to the outside world... No, don't you know?"

"So what can I do if I know." Li Cheng's mouth smiled again, "You don't know, I am the only person in the village who went to school outside and got into college for so many years. But no one in our village believed the knowledge I learned. They refused to accept the new things outside. They were used to such a life. This is my home, and when I stayed at home, I had to compromise."

In Huangshi Village, all children of appropriate age study in private schools, and most villagers live a self-sufficient life. They stay here for their whole lives, from birth to death, and never went to the outside world. Only a very small number of people want to go out with ambitions to realize their ideals, but they never come back.

Of course, there is one exception.

When Li Cheng was still young, a young uncle from their family went out for a while and returned to the village. He enthusiastically shared his experiences with others, but no one wanted to listen. Only Li Cheng came up ignorantly and followed the uncle with his little tail, listening to the people and things he had never heard of before.

A seed quickly took root and sprouted in his little heart. Li Cheng vowed that when he grew up, he must go out and take a look.

But, very sadly, my uncle died of an acute illness shortly after returning to the village. People in the village said that he had contracted the disease outside, and since then he regarded it as a disaster for leaving the village. Only inheritance has never changed his thoughts.

When he was eighteen years old, Li Cheng proposed to go out to school, but his father strongly opposed it. However, Li Cheng had a stubborn temper. He carried his bags and quietly left home one night. He stayed outside for three years. Finally, he was admitted to university with his own efforts and saw those scenery that were completely different from those in Huangshi Village. In order to survive, he suffered a lot outside, but Li Cheng still gritted his teeth and endured it.

Later, Li Cheng's father could not resist his longing for his son, and finally compromised. He wrote a letter to Li Cheng, allowing him to go to school outside and begged him to go home.

Only then did Li Cheng return to Huangshi Village.

*******

His words were like thunder. For a moment, many doubts were explained - why no one called the emergency number when Li Zhen had an accident, why can villagers easily accept that foreigners were burned to death, why there were no wires and other equipment here...

"Your father, don't you... don't care?" After a moment of surprise, Su Muzhe returned to his calmness.

Let the villagers fall into a state of ignorance and ignorance, a normal village chief would not do this at all.

Li Cheng seemed unwilling to answer this question and said rudely: "Don't worry about these things. This has been the case in our village for more than a hundred years. Su Muzhe, you and your sister are just two people. Your strength is simply impossible to compete with the people in the same village. If you want to spend these two days safely here, learn to be smarter, don't ask anything, don't say anything."

Su Muzhe was silent - Li Cheng obviously knew some inside story, but he was unwilling to say it at all.

The atmosphere in the study became a little awkward for a moment. At this time, a dull "clang" sounded, but it was the sound of the ancient bell on the wall, one, two, three... After knocking for a full ten times, the sound stopped.

It's already 10 o'clock in the evening.

Su Muzhe's eyes flashed slightly under the lens. He raised his right hand slightly and made a "grasp" action-

At the same time, not far away, the fixed door lock on the door of the Li family's wood-room suddenly fell off automatically without any external force, and the door lock naturally fell down.

In the woodshed, Zhang Daoyuan had already taken the knife that Su Muzhai gave him, quietly cut off the hemp rope tied to his body, and stood up from the ground.

——Don’t ask him why he doesn’t have a watch or a mobile phone, and he knows it’s already ten o’clock in the evening. If he didn’t even have this ability, would he really laugh at the Zhang family’s animals until they died?!

Zhang Daoyuan admired Su Muzhe's plan to let him escape now. Because in the afternoon, the village chief brought a few more people to the woodshed to see him, for fear that he would run away. Among these people, there was the old Taoist priest who harmed him last time. The old Taoist priest was holding a weird thing that made him unable to use spiritual energy last time, and his eyes were always staring at him sinisterly.

If Su Muzhe took him away from here during the day, he still didn't know what traps these people had set up outside. With the cover of the night, everything would be much more convenient.

And Xiao Susu also promised to let herself be honest. Xiao Susu is indeed the best? (ˊwˋ*)?!

——Zhang Daoyuan thought in a rippling manner.

He patted the soil on his clothes, and quietly stood on tiptoe and came to the door of the woodshed, just like a thief.

Zhang Daoyuan pushed open the door of the woodshed, poked his head out and swept around in the darkness, and made sure that there was no one outside, so he opened the door and walked out.

A huge black shadow pounced down from the horizon at this moment. Zhang Daoyuan immediately tensed up his muscles, but when he looked up, he immediately became happy - isn't the one above his head the big roc bird that Su Muzhe had?

The big roll was very quiet, and it made almost no sound except for its flapping its wings. It quickly landed in front of Zhang Daoyuan, opened its mouth and grabbed his collar, and swung it on its back. After he sat firmly, the big roll immediately spread its wings and flew into the sky, and soon disappeared, and could be said to have no trace of coming or going...

**********

A low bird cry came from the horizon, which was not loud. In addition, there were many trees in Huangshi Village, so those villagers who were not sleeping only regarded this as ordinary bird cry and did not attract any attention.

The smile on the corner of Su Mu's lips disappeared in a flash - this was done.

"So happy, your friend is saved?" Li Cheng noticed the subtle expression on Su Muzha's face and joked.

Su Muzhe didn't hide it, "I'm saved, thank you."

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Damn, I'm just talking...you people..."

"We are just ordinary people." Su Muzhe stood up, "Thank you for your hospitality. If Lingzun asks about it tomorrow, I hope Mr. Li will give me a certificate and say I'll chat with you in the study room. Thank you."

"I just told you why you ran over for no reason. It turned out to be to use this young master. Su Muzhe, you are too unkind." Li Cheng couldn't help laughing, "Would you like to lend you two books? Tomorrow, you said you were reading books with me in the study room, and my dad would probably not doubt you."

Hearing this sentence, Su Muzhe paused, he turned around, and a smile appeared on his face, "Is it really OK?"

Seeing Li Cheng confused, Su Muzhe stretched out his hand and pointed at the book on his desk, "Can you lend me this travel?"

"………………” Li Cheng then understood, “…Damn it!”

Of course, in the end, Su Muzhe took the book and returned to his room ╮(￣▽￣)╭.
