Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Man of the Mountain

Seeing a stuffy gourd in this kind of place is a great thing for Zhou Yu and them. After all, in their team, he is the only one who is really powerful.

Zhou Yu looked at the fact that there was no one else around him, so he asked, "Stuffy gourd, have you seen Uncle and Zhang Huiwen?" Just now because of those poisonous bees, we all got separated, and I don't know where they are now." ”

Stuffy Gourd shook his head, he also went through nine deaths to escape here.

Fortunately, it seemed to be an exit, and they climbed out of a small cave here, and then they found that they seemed to have come out of the mountain, and came into a forest, and not far from here, there was a waterfall that was not very high, and it flowed down from the top of the mountain.

The sound of the water rushing was loud, and even if Zhou Yu and them were far apart, they could hear it clearly.

Did Chen Yu raise his arm, and looked at the various big bags and small bags on his body that were stung by the group of poisonous bees with some heartache.

Not only him, but Zhou Yu and the stuffy gourd also had all kinds of bags all over their bodies, and it hurt to touch them. But if you don't touch it, it feels very itchy, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Stuffy Gourd suggested: "Let's go to the waterfall and get some water to drink, and clean the dirt on our bodies by the way, otherwise it will be infected." ”

"Good. ”

After everyone agreed, they immediately ran in the direction of the waterfall, the forest here was not too dense and there was nothing to obstruct.

And the scenery here is quite beautiful, and there are many fruits and flowers in the surrounding forests, which is like a tourist attraction.

The only thing that made it more difficult for them to deal with was how they broke up with Uncle and Zhang Huiwen.

They got some water to drink from the waterfall, and after resting here for about ten minutes, they met an old man who had gone up the mountain to fetch firewood, and this old man looked gray-haired and hunched over, but he was still carrying firewood down the mountain.

The old man saw them from a long distance, but there seemed to be something wrong with their eyes, and they were not too friendly.

At this time, Zhou Yu hurriedly ran over to greet the other party, and asked where this was and whether he had seen Uncle and Zhang Huiwen.

"Hello old man, have you ever seen someone like us enter this place? an uncle and two girls, both of whom are richly dressed..."

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, the old man was stunned and seemed to be observing Zhou Yu.

In the end, he shook his head: "No, no, I haven't seen it, don't ask me!"

After saying that, he took the firewood and left. But Zhou Yu was unwilling to give up, and asked: "Then can the old man tell us what kind of place this is?

The old man stopped, looked back at the few of them, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

"This..."Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and then replied: "We came from other places, we came here to travel, we accidentally got lost, and now a few of our friends are also separated." ”

"Then come with me, go to my house and drink a glass of water, and I'll take you down the mountain!"

At this time, the old man's attitude was obviously much kinder than just now, and Zhou Yu immediately went to tell the news to Stuffy Hulu and Chen Yu, and the two of them were next to the waterfall, and after washing the filth on their bodies, they immediately followed.

Before, they saw that although the forest was not too dense, there were no paths around, but after following the old man for a few steps, they found that this place seemed to be full of people, because there were footprints everywhere in this forest.

And in the footprints, it is clear that many different people have been here, and there are traces of trampling everywhere.

Those footprints were large and small, and even Zhou Yu found a lot of long hair in this forest, which was a little dull yellow, and it looked like a woman's dyed hair.

Zhou Yu asked as he followed the old man: "Old man, do other people often come here to travel in this place?" I just saw that there seem to be many women's hair on this ground, and there is a hairpin?"

Hearing this question, the old man seemed to be a little nervous, and hurriedly explained: "Maybe there is, it seems to be, I can't remember it clearly, people don't remember well when they're old..."

His answer was a little cryptic, and his expression was a little evasive, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

In fact, his normal answer would not attract Zhou Yu's attention, but he dodged like this, but people had to be a little suspicious in their hearts, could he have something he couldn't say?

After walking for about half an hour, they came to the woods, a thatched hut that looked very shabby, backed by a steep cliff, which could be described as a natural barrier, which could be used to block it in the wind and rain.

After the old man took them in, he found that there was a passage to the inside of the mountain in his house, which means that this place looks like a thatched house, but after the thatched house entered, there was a secret passage there, and there was a secret room in the secret passage, which meant that his home looked very small, but it was actually quite large.

Although Zhou Yu noticed this kind of thing, he didn't mention it, nor did he ask the old man why he wanted to get such a thing.

"Three children, you sit here first, I'll go get you some tea, my tea here is all grown by myself, it's very fragrant. ”

The old man ordered with a smile, and then went back to his room, Zhou Yu and they were also very obedient, and they didn't walk around while sitting here.

After almost ten minutes, the old man staggered out with a bottle of tea, and Zhou Yu hadn't noticed the way he was walking before, as if he was a little lame.

When pouring tea for them, the old man said: "Actually, I am not the only one who lives here, my grandson who lived in a big city came here to see me, but they didn't know where they went two days ago, and they didn't know what happened..."

"Old man, don't worry, children, they are playful by nature, maybe they have overplayed in that place and forgot the time!"

Zhou Yu comforted the old man and just smiled and didn't continue to speak.

At the beginning, he urged Zhou Yu and them to quickly taste his tea to see if it tasted good. And while they were drinking tea, the old man kept an eye on them all the time.

The expectant smile on his face was as if he wanted to know immediately how they felt about the tea.

Zhou Yu praised after tasting it: "Hmm~ This taste is really fragrant, it's really good tea!"

Chen Yu also said: "The old man's tea is really delicious, did you grow it yourself? What kind of variety? I don't think I've ever drunk it before." ”

The old man didn't answer, he just kept laughing, and he even laughed a little sinisterly: "Hehe... It's good to drink, it's good to drink... If you think it's delicious, it's time for you to hit the road!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu and the others felt that something was wrong, and when they just wanted to ask what this meant, they suddenly found that their hands and feet became a little sore.

"The old man... You ......"

Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, the whole person had already fainted, and in his last sight, he found Chen Yu and Meng Hulu, the two of them also had the same symptoms, obviously, there was something wrong with the tea that the old man gave them!

I don't know how long they were unconscious, but when they woke up again, all three were tied up and trapped in a secret room.

There was the sound of sharpening knives next to them, and when they turned around, they found that it was the old man just now, who was standing shirtless on a large rock, sharpening a sharp kitchen knife.

There is also a large cauldron next to it, and there is a fire under the pot, and the water in the pot has begun to boil.

Zhou Yu struggled twice, couldn't break at all, and immediately asked the old man: "Old man, what are you doing here? There is no grudge or enmity between us, why are you arresting us?"

"Old man, where did we offend you? Why are you doing this?" Chen Yu was also very angry.

But the old man didn't answer, just sharpened his knife on his own.

When the knife was almost sharpened, they came to Zhou Yu and them, and the knife was on Zhou Yu's neck, and the back of the knife was gently patted.

The old man said with a hideous face: "It is because of strangers like you who come here that my grandson has disappeared!"
