Chapter 254: Do You Want a Map?
"Why are you here again?"
The old carpenter moved the wooden utensils in the house one by one to the outside of the tent, after all, the space inside was too small to fit so many things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's okay when I don't sleep, but now it's late, so I have to clear everything in the house. As soon as a few items were cleared, a huge figure blocked the way.
He looked up and saw that it was the leader of those who had come today. This person is none other than Nishiringawa.
Nishirinkawa couldn't help but take a piece of wood that had not yet formed from the old carpenter's hand, and put it in the place where the timber was piled up outside the house, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The old carpenter frowned, looked at him with a displeased face, and remained motionless. "As I said, I won't be your guide. Go back, I haven't even needed help to move a few pieces of wood by myself!"
The wind was a little strong tonight, the chess pieces on the tent were blown and hunted, and Xi Linchuan had messy hair, and he had to use his hands to open it to see the old carpenter in front of him. He said with a smile: "Brother Zhu, this is not the case." ”
The old carpenter snorted coldly and said, "You and Dorjee are friends, and I am not friends with you." Then he lifted the curtain and went into the house.
Nishirinkawa followed to the curtain, a tent that could be locked from the inside. If the old carpenter locked the door and wouldn't let him in, there was nothing he could do. So he reached out and pushed the curtain the moment the old carpenter entered, but things did not go in the opposite direction as he had imagined.
Xi Linchuan entered the door without hindrance, watched the old carpenter pretend to be Yan by himself, and then sucked it up by himself. On such a cold day, these villagers are accustomed to lighting the stove and smoking to warm their bodies. He found a bench to sit down, then looked at the old carpenter and said, "Brother Zhu, you can mention any requirements you have." ”
The old carpenter ignored him, and just smoked on his own. Xi Linchuan continued: "Brother Zhu, can you tell me what you encountered after entering the mountain?"
The old carpenter's hand holding the cigarette stick trembled, and it seemed to Xi Linchuan that he could barely hold the cigarette stick. In the glittering eyes of the old carpenter, a look of horror quickly crossed it. Nishirinkawa didn't know what he had experienced, and it might have been attacked by some monster as he said. So he asked tentatively, "Brother Zhu...... Did you encounter something you've never seen before?"
The old carpenter still sat there smoking a cigarette and did not answer. Silence for a while was like a cliff between two people, difficult to cross.
Xi Linchuan looked at the old carpenter's whole person exuding an aura of not wanting to cooperate, and slowly persuaded: "Brother Zhu, don't worry, we will definitely protect your safety first." ”
The old carpenter snorted coldly, "Everyone can say anything about the scene, I don't believe you can ......"
Xi Linchuan interrupted him and said, "Are you worried that we won't be able to deal with those unknown creatures?"
The old carpenter's expression changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "Have you seen that thing?"
Xi Linchuan smiled and replied lightly: "Although I don't know what Brother Zhu encountered, we have encountered much more powerful things than this kind of thing. It's just that we call them, youkai. ”
The old carpenter looked at him in astonishment, and said, "Who are you?"
Xi Linchuan still smiled, "Brother Zhu, you don't need to know this. And I can only tell you that we never stop moving forward, no matter where we go!"
A faint tone, but it speaks of this powerful self-confidence. The old carpenter didn't know where this man's self-confidence came from, but he suddenly felt some confidence. It's just that this confidence is not enough for him to agree to be the guide of their actions.
Xi Linchuan continued to magnify his moves: "Brother Zhu is a warm-hearted person, otherwise you don't have to see me tonight, just turn me away." But it was very windy and cold outside, so you didn't let me wait outside, but let me in. Brother Zhu, although I don't know why you came to such a desolate place before, but I think you must lack a lot of money. I can pay you handsomely, and I can keep you safe. If it's dangerous to go deeper, you can leave us behind, and you don't have to go with us. ”
The old carpenter's eyes moved, and he wondered if he had been moved and began to ponder. Xi Linchuan waited patiently for him, carefully observing the expression on the old carpenter's face that changed and changed.
But the final answer was not what he thought, and the old carpenter put down his cigarette stick and knocked it on his shoe. "I still can't promise you. ”
Xi Linchuan was stunned for a moment and said, "What does Brother Zhu care about?"
The old carpenter smiled and said, "As long as you go to that kind of place...... No one would want to go a second time. He paused, and then said, "Well, I'll draw you a map, aren't you very capable?" ”
Xi Linchuan looked at him in a daze, this result was a little beyond his expectations, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The old carpenter began to chase people away again, "Don't waste your time with me. Tomorrow you come to me to get the map, how to go yourself. That's all I can do, and I don't have to be paid. ”
If a realm like Kunlun Mountain can come and go freely just by relying on a map, then the mysterious events and various accidents in Kunlun Mountain will not be exposed. Nishiringawa is also in consideration of safety issues, so it is urgent to find a guide. But now, although the guide has found it, the other party only provides a map for them to find by themselves, how can this work?
Xilinchuan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and in the end he just said: "But Brother Zhu ......"
The old carpenter sighed and said, "I hope you will have pity on me too, and don't make it difficult for me." That kind of scene...... If it weren't for the fact that my Ah Mao was a hunting dog, I'm afraid I would be one of those white bones now......" The old carpenter closed his eyes, and he felt a little old in an instant.
He was not the first person to go deep into the Kunlun Mountains, nor was he the first person to have an accident in the Kunlun Mountains, nor was he the only one who did not die in the Kunlun Mountains. But like those who escaped from the Kunlun Mountains, they refused to enter that terrifying place again.
Xi Linchuan looked at him and knew that the other party was too annoyed to be disturbed by himself, so he decided to provide such a map once and for all.
In this way, they have no reason to persuade again.
It's better than nothing. It can be regarded as doing some hard work.
Xi Linchuan sighed and said, "Brother Zhu, do you look like you, I just need you to take me into the hinterland, as long as you are not willing to continue to move forward, I will not be reluctant." ”
Once in the hinterland, you can ask to leave at any time. If there are signs of danger, they can also leave them and flee on their own. The treatment was good, but the old carpenter still insisted on the last compromise he had made.
"I'll just ask, do you want a map?"
