The bustling mountain village was right in the valley, but they never entered it. They just walked around the village and along the mountain road beside the stream.

There are towering mountains on both sides with lush vegetation. From time to time, you can hear birds flying or the calls of unknown animals.

If it were Li Huaiqing himself, he would never take such a dangerous path.

Lou Xiao only dared to rush in because of his great skills and courage.

Since there was no one on the road, she would occasionally stop her horse and listen for a while when she heard faint singing.

The mountain air was fresh, and the stream on the side was winding. Li Huaiqing propped up his head and looked out of the car window. He could see schools of silver fish in the stream, and kingfishers occasionally diving down to catch fish.

He thought this was also very interesting.

He couldn't hear what the songs were about, but Lou Xiao couldn't help laughing.

In spring, men and women go to the mountains together to sing songs, most of which are due to love. What happens afterwards is not worth guessing because no one can see it in the mountains.

It's always those things.

Suddenly, a male voice came from closer, and Li Huaiqing heard the lyrics clearly for the first time. However, the words had no rhyme or beauty, and it sounded like casual words with a tune added.

"My brother said he felt sorry for me and took me to Qingshan by hand~

There are many jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain. There are many grass leaves and thorns.

Brother, are you sincere or not? Take off your clothes and let me see.

Li Huaiqing frowned slightly when he heard this. He felt that the villagers in the mountains were indeed vulgar. They did not even try to hide their feelings in the wild and just sang so loudly.

He heard a laugh. It was Lou Xiao who was looking towards the direction of the singing.

Noticing that Li Huaiqing was looking at her, Lou Xiao also turned around and glanced at him.

They separated immediately after touching each other. Li Huaiqing only saw her eyes filled with smiles, sparkling like a picture of a young girl outing in spring.

He automatically thought about where to place the first stroke on the drawing paper.

He stopped this strange thought in time.

I heard Lou Xiao say with a smile,

"This man has a really nice voice, why did he stop? I want to hear him sing a few more lines."

Everyone present knew why the song stopped except Lou Xiao. But she was the slow one. After waiting for a while and not hearing the singing continue, she actually started singing on her own.

Li Huaiqing was so shocked that his expression froze, and the folding fan in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Ai Ying, who was riding a horse behind her, was only slightly surprised and then returned to normal. He looked at her and thought that she was a person who always followed her will.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have found it so unbelievable to see her become the Duke of Zhenguo on the streets of the capital.

Her voice was soft and melodious, and she had deep inner strength due to her martial arts training. When she sang, her voice echoed in the valley for a long time.

If you just listen to it, it seems like she is a woman expressing her deep love to all living beings, but who is the person she loves?

Is it someone who was attracted by her singing?

Even Li Huaiqing started to doubt whether Lou Xiao had a man she loved.

Of course, so is the man singing.

However, the man who sang the folk song without any scruples was not what Li Huaiqing and the others had imagined. He was in a sweet and affectionate mood.

He held a rusty axe in his hand and chopped the corpse at his feet again and again.

Blood and flesh splattered on his face. His pretty face was expressionless and his eyes were terrifying. He only listened attentively when he heard the woman singing, then stopped what he was doing and stood up.

His hair was loose, tied into small braids with colorful ropes, and hung with silver ornaments such as bells, fish, cats, flowers, etc., which tinkled in the breeze.

The clothes were opened wide, almost exposing almost the entire body without any shame,

He even took two steps towards the direction of the woman's singing, and his expression became somewhat lively.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a big, nervous smile.

The scarlet tongue stretched out to lick the blood and flesh that splattered on his mouth as he hacked and killed.

He threw down the axe in his hand and walked towards the direction of the woman's singing without looking back, leaving behind a shapeless corpse in the forest, hidden from the sunlight.

After Lou Xiao finished singing, regardless of what others thought, she laughed happily and quickened her pace.

But not long after, the man's singing voice was heard again from the mountain.

This time, she continued Lou Xiao's tune, and her voice became softer, full of sweetness and happiness.

"Sister, please walk slowly~ wait for my brother to come find you,

Brother, I am flustered and anxious. Sister, do you want to touch it and take a look?

Where is the person who wants to see my sister?

Give my heart to my sister, and the moon on the mountain, the pigs and sheep on the ground,

As long as Sister stays~As long as Sister stays..."

Li Huaiqing got goosebumps after hearing this. He glanced at Lou Xiao's reaction, but she was so excited to sing just now, but this time she ignored him.

She laughed and ran away, not caring at all what the man sang.

Li Huaiqing wanted to remind her, is that man coming to look for her?

But her horse neighed and galloped away. Li Huaiqing's driver also whipped the horse's back and kept up with her pace.

The sudden change confused Li Huaiqing. He looked around the mountain where no one was, but could not tell the direction of the singing man.

Only Lou Xiao kept smiling and saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

A group of people rushed across the stream and headed towards the town by the river at the end of the stream, and soon disappeared in the picturesque mountain scenery.

Not long after they left, a man with dishevelled clothes walked out of the forest. His hair was wet with sweat and the silver ornaments in his hair jingled.

He stepped barefoot onto the road that Lou Xiao and the others had just walked on. He listened around and there was no sound of horse hooves. It was obvious that the other party was running quite fast.

"gone……"

His face was filled with disappointment, and his eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

He squatted down and looked at the horse hoof prints, and recognized three horses and a carriage, obviously a small caravan.

Not a villager here... ?

"I'll catch you." He chuckled.

I savored the singing voice of the woman I had just heard, imagining how soft and beautiful she looked, how white her hands were, her voice...

Certain moments must bring extreme happiness...

"Ah..." Just thinking about it makes me inexplicably excited.

He wiped the blood off his face with one hand, stepped into the stream and looked at himself in the flowing water. Then he just wiped his face clean when he heard someone screaming behind him.

"Murder... murder..." The villagers passing by trembled in fear, then threw down their farm tools and ran away without caring about anything.

The man tilted his head and said only "trouble".

After picking up the farm tools he had left behind, only a stick was still useful.

Although it's not as good as an axe, I'll just make do with it...

It's just murder - does it matter what the murder weapon is?

They should be grateful if he did it...
