Chapter 3 The Strange Forest County
Following behind Shangguan Wanting, Xie Mu stepped forward, and in the surrounding mountains and forests, there were bursts of nighthawk calls, and the sky had completely darkened.
However, both of them are evolutionaries, and everywhere they look, it is like daylight, so there is no problem.
The further you go inside, the more and more weeds around you almost flood the road, and a cool and swishing cold wind blows from the woods, and the mountains and forests are silent.
Along the path on the edge of the cliff, the two of them slowly marched forward, on one side was a cliff with a depth of 100 meters, if one was not careful, it was possible to fall off the cliff, even if it was Xie Mu, he couldn't help but increase his vigilance.
If you fall down, although he is not dead with his physique, he can fall into a meat and eight vegetarian pieces, so there is no problem.
"How much longer?"
Xie Mu and Shangguan Wanting walked side by side, looking ahead, and said as they walked.
"It's almost there, look! Over the hill in front, it is Lin County. ”
Shangguan Wanting pointed to a high mountain road not far ahead as she walked.
"What county is this? Why is the traffic so bad? Could it be that the local government has no one to deal with it? ”
Xie Mu looked at Shangguan Wanting and said as he walked. He also really wondered, according to Shangguan Wanting's tone, since Linxian County is the base of several ancient families, and it can continue from the Republic of China, I am afraid that there is a lack of money for these road repairs.
"Of course, some people deal with it, but they are rejected by a few families entrenched in Linxian County, this county is almost isolated, few people come out, and there are very few outsiders in and out of Linxian, and it is precisely this that is very suspicious."
After a slight pause, Shangguan Wanting said with a solemn expression on her face.
"That means there must be a ghost here, maybe the veins of the power stone are hidden in it."
Xie Mu nodded, his eyes lit up.
"Let's go! If there is any, I won't know until I arrive. ”
Shangguan Wanting said, crossed the footsteps, and walked forward again, Xie Mu immediately followed behind, and after a while, the two of them crossed the mountain in front of them.
"It's really strange that the buildings and facilities in such a strange county town are all built according to the ancient architectural model."
Standing on the top of the mountain, Xie Mu looked down at Lin County in front of him, the entire county is only more than 10,000 meters in size, compared to other counties, even if it is his hometown of the kind of poor and remote county is a little bigger than this Lin County, if it were not for the light of electric lights in the county, Xie Mu really thought that he had come to ancient times.
"Let's go!"
Shangguan Wanting on the side snorted softly, her figure moved, and in an instant, she ran down the mountain and rushed towards Lin County, Xie Mu followed, and in the blink of an eye, the two came to Lin County.
Walking on the bluestone road in the county seat, Xie Mu felt a little strange, now it is about seven or eight o'clock at most, but on both sides of the street, almost most of them are closed for sleep, only a few merchants are still open, and on the whole street, only a few people are still hanging out on the side of the street.
Moreover, this street can be said to be the center of this county, but there are only three or two hotels on both sides of the street, which is very rare.
Moreover, he didn't see a car parked on the side of the road, in the current city, even in the countryside, he could meet so many cars at will, but in this Lin County, he didn't see one.
The most important point is that when Xie Mu casually meets someone, he can clearly feel a faint energy fluctuation in his body, although it is very light, but it can't escape his perception.
Xie Mu and Shangguan Wanting walked on the street, and the passers-by looked at them with amazement, as if they were looking at the national treasure giant panda.
While walking, Xie Mu looked at Shangguan Wanting on the side, I don't know when, a round metal vessel appeared in her hand, and a faint light lit up on the metal vessel from time to time, which was very dim.
"What's in your hand?"
As he walked, Xie Mu asked.
"Energy Detector!"
Shangguan Wanting said coldly, and put this piece of metal in her pocket with her backhand.
Seeing that she was about to reach the end of the street, Shangguan Wanting suddenly stopped, glanced at a house next to the street casually, and then turned around and walked back.
"Found it?"
Xie Mu noticed a trace of strangeness on Shangguan Wanting's face and whispered.
"Not sure."
Shangguan Wanting said vaguely, and the pace of her steps was faster, and she walked directly to the door of a hotel.
"What? Are you going to stay here for a few more days? ”
Xie Mu came to Shangguan Wanting's side and frowned.
"Hmm!"
Nodding slightly, Shangguan Wanting immediately stepped into the hotel.
Xie Mu frowned slightly, and then walked in, this big night, he didn't want to sleep in the wilderness, and besides, in such a strange place.
According to his previous thoughts, he thought it could be completed quickly, but now it seems that it will take a little time.
Came to the counter at the front desk, and a middle-aged man dressed in blue dozed off in front of the computer at the counter.
"Strange? And there is a net here? ”
Xie Mu looked at the brand-new Apple computer on the counter, and wondered in his heart, he walked for a long time, and he didn't find a trace of modern atmosphere in Lin County, and this time he finally ran into it.
Sensing the sound of footsteps, the middle-aged man instantly opened his eyes, looked at Xie Mu and Shangguan Wanting, smiled slightly, and said, "Two? You're from out of town? ”
"Yes!"
Shangguan Wanting nodded slightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, open a room for me."
As he spoke, he took out a hundred-dollar bill and placed it on the counter.
"A room?"
"Where do I sleep?"
Xie Mu was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but saw Shangguan Wanting give him a look, and suddenly leaned on Xie Mu's body, the fragrance of the nose rushed straight to Xie Mu's nose, feeling the softness coming from his arm, and a trace of ripples in his heart.
"Husband! I'm so tired today! ”
Shangguan Wanting's little bird leaned on Xie Mu's body. Holding his arm with both hands, he said delicately.
"Poof!"
Xie Mu almost choked to death by his own saliva, listening to Shangguan Wanting's words, and then looking at her birdy expression, he couldn't help but sigh at Shangguan Wanting's superb acting skills.
"Oh! It turns out that the two of them are a couple! ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Xie Mu jealously, then smiled, accepted the money, looked for another twenty, and took out another key.
"The room is on the second floor of 204, please go upstairs!"
The middle-aged man laughed, immediately got up and left the counter, and took Xie Mu and Shangguan Wanting upstairs.
Xie Mu looked at Shangguan Wanting who was leaning on him with a strange expression, hesitated slightly, and followed the middle-aged man upstairs.
"Here it is!"
Came to the second floor, the middle-aged man opened the door with a key, and there were all the facilities inside, a computer, and a glass bathroom, which was completely different from the hotel outside.
"Okay, thank you!"
Xie Mu nodded and smiled, and then walked into the house and closed the door.
At the moment when Xie Mu closed the door, the middle-aged man who was still smiling just now suddenly changed his expression, took out a mobile phone from his clothes, flipped out a phone number, and dialed out while going downstairs.
As soon as she entered the room, Shangguan Wanting returned to normal, and said with a solemn face: "We have been noticed by the people of those families."
"It's normal, it's someone else's territory. It's a place cut off from the outside world again, and two strangers suddenly appear, and I'll catch my attention too. ”
Xie Mu sat on the bed and said lightly.
looked at Shangguan Wanting and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I can't do it yet, I can basically be sure that there are indeed veins of energy stones in Lin County."
Shaking her head slightly, Shangguan Wanting showed a hint of condensation, walked to the window, looked at the sparsely populated pedestrians on the street, and looked at a mansion not far away.
"Then you should have some plan!"
Xie Mu looked at Shangguan Wanting's back and frowned. He didn't believe that Shangguan Wanting would not have her own plan.
"Of course, but it won't be until late at night."
Shangguan Wanting showed a mysterious smile on her face, and a hint of conspiracy flashed in her eyes.
