Chapter 684: Driven Away by the Villagers
readx;?ā Great, we're finally coming out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Murong Jin couldn't help but jump up, and the haze on his face suddenly disappeared.
Yun Yan's emotions were also a little excited, "Finally came out." ā
Compared with the excitement of the two, Ning Ge seemed more silent, and the emotions in her eyes were even more complicated when she looked into the distance.
"Ge'er, what's wrong? Are you too excited to speak? Murong Jin saw that Ning Ge was silent, and immediately asked, it seemed that in the past few days, her mood had not been very good, every time he wanted to talk to him, she either walked away or was silent, making him feel that the distance between them had become farther away, and this feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because he's so tired? Murong Jin comforted himself like this in his mind.
"Master, my subordinates will check the situation first." The crossbow stepped forward and said,
Murong Jin nodded, the crossbow has always been very rigorous, and it was because of his rigor that it saved him a lot of trouble, so he didn't stop it.
The crossbow glanced deeply at Ning Ge and Murong Jin before leaving, and then took a step to leave.
"Let's go too!" Yun Yan saw that there was something wrong with Ning Ge and Murong Jin's atmosphere, and interrupted the stalemate.
Ning Ge nodded, took a step, and walked forward,
The village they had seen before seemed quite close, but it was quite far away, and it took them about three more hours to arrive.
The villages are somewhat small and somewhat old, and the villagers are dressed modestly.
When Ning Ge and his party walked here, the originally lively village immediately quieted down, and the eyes of the villagers fell on them one after another, and their eyes were full of thick vigilance.
In the next second, they all ran towards their houses.
Ning Ge and the others were stunned for a moment, a little confused, and when they reacted to themselves, the villagers all disappeared.
"What the hell is going on?" Murong Jin was very puzzled, they finally saw a village, and they thought they could take a good rest, but the people here didn't seem to be very hospitable, and their eyes were full of fear and vigilance.
"Maybe there are very few outsiders here!" Ning Ge guessed.
"What do I think they're afraid of?" Yun Yan also expressed his conjecture, "Have you noticed that when they see our eyes, the sense of fear, as if we will eat them. ā
"Do you mean...... What happened in this village? Murong Jin looked around left and right, although all the people had entered the room, he could still feel their gaze, and their gaze came from the crack in the window, "Maybe Yun Yan is right, they are indeed afraid of us." ā
"Could it be here?" Ning Ge paused and didn't continue, but Murong Jin and Yun Yan both understood what she meant, in fact, they both thought the same as him, they just didn't say it,
Just when Ning Ge and the others were confused, the villagers who had left just now came out again, but they had some more things in their hands: kitchen knives, wooden sticks, hammers and a series of offensive things.
"Get out, get out, get out......" the villagers shouted in unison, and they approached Ning Ge step by step, with a thick guard in their eyes.
In the face of such a battle, Ning Ge instinctively retreated. ļ¼
"Is there some misunderstanding? We have no ill will. Ning Ge tried to explain.
But the villagers didn't seem to want to hear it, and their mouths continued to repeat, "Get out, get out, get out......
"Ge'er, they don't seem to be good, let's leave first!" Murong Jing grabbed Ning Ge's slender hand bowl and tried to take her away, but she struggled and wanted to shake off his hand, but unfortunately her strength was very small, and she was still firmly grasped, and she couldn't break free at all.
"Ge'er, I know what you're trying to say? But now is really not the time, let's get out of here! Murong Jin knew very well what Ning Ge wanted to do, but it didn't seem to be the truth now, and these villagers didn't look like people who could listen to explanations.
"But...... Ning Ge wanted to say something, but Murong Jin didn't give her a chance, he pulled her and ran, and Yun Yan had no other way but to follow behind them.
The villagers had no intention of hurting them but just wanted to drive them away, so after they left, they did not continue to chase them.
After running for about ten minutes, Murong Jin stopped, he really didn't have the strength to run, it had taken him too much energy to go out of the mountain, and now his body was already exhausted, so he had to sit on the ground and gasp for breath, one hand kept patting his leg to make himself recover faster.
Ning Ge is no better, her physical strength has long been overdrawn, and now that she has been running for so long, her body can't stand it anymore, so she just lay on the ground and gasped.
In contrast, Yun Yan was in a slightly better state, although he was not lying or sitting, but he was also gasping for breath.
After about half a moment of rest, the three of them gradually recovered their strength.
"Why did those villagers rush to us as soon as they saw us, is it because I am too handsome?" Murong Jin deliberately said this in order to adjust the tense atmosphere.
Ning Ge didn't want to waste his energy on such a boring topic, so he didn't even look at Murong Jin, which made Murong Jin feel a little aggrieved.
"Did you notice that the villagers were dressed the same as the ones we saw in Wushan earlier?" Yun Yan said with a frown.
"Aren't all the people wearing the same clothes? Simple, unpretentious? Murong Jin's point of view was a little different, and in his opinion, there was no difference.
"I think Yun Yan is right, in fact, many villages maintain their own style, for example, some people like to embroider their favorite patterns on their clothes, and just now those villagers have embroidered a flower under their clothes, although the color and shape are different, but everyone has it, which shows that it is their habit." Ning Ge thought back to the scene just now, and then thought of the people he had met before, who seemed to have this in common.
And this village is remote, so close to Wushan, presumably those people are from this village.
Because there were doubts before, now they are more certain.
If you think about it this way, you can probably guess why the villagers were so emotional when they saw them.
Murong Jin didn't answer, but thought back to what had happened before, and finally he agreed with Yun Yan's statement.
But if that's the case, things will be a little troublesome, maybe there are still people in that village who have fallen for the Gu.
Thinking of this, Murong Jin's brows furrowed tightly, although this is not Dongxiang Kingdom, and the people are not the people of Dongxiang Kingdom, but after all, it is human life.
Yun Yan also fell silent, and he, like Murong Jin, began to worry about the innocent villagers.
Ning Ge glanced at Murong Jin and then at Yun Yan, although they didn't speak again, she could tell from their looks that they were worried about the villagers.
"What are your plans?" Ning Ge finally broke the silence.
Murong Jin and Yun Yan suddenly said with a tacit understanding, "Go to the village." ā
Ning Ge was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to have thought that the two would have such a tacit understanding, in fact, their thoughts were the same as hers, and she also planned to do so, since this kind of thing happened in Wushan, how could she sit idly by, not to mention that she might find out Qijiu's whereabouts.
"But now is not the time, wait a little longer and get dark before going!" Ning Ge suggested that the villagers were too vigilant now, and if they rushed to go again, they would definitely be misunderstood, and it would be most appropriate to wait until it was dark for them to rest before going to find out the news.
Ning Ge's proposal was agreed, but Murong Jin had a request, "Ge'er, it's okay for me and Brother Yun to go at night, it's inconvenient for you to go alone, in case something happens, the two of us can escape if we know martial arts." ā
"No, I have to go." Ning Ge's attitude was very resolute, this matter was related to Qijiu, how could she watch from the sidelines.
Yun Yan also persuaded, "Ning Ge, I think Brother Murong is right, you should wait for our news with peace of mind!" ā
Ning Ge wanted to say something, but Murong Jin and Yun Yan didn't give her any chance, the two turned around and discussed in a low voice what to do at night, their volume was very small, and it was clear that they didn't want Ning Ge to hear it.
Ning Ge frowned, these two men inevitably looked down on her too much, what if she was a woman? What if you don't know martial arts? They wouldn't let her go, she could go on her own.
Murong Jin and Yun Yan discussed for a while, and the two nodded tacitly before turning around, seeing Ning Ge's hands on her chest and a puffing face, they knew that she was angry.
"Ge'er, are you hungry?"
"Ning Ge, don't you want to take a bath and change clothes? I'm going to help you find water. ā
Murong Jin and Yun Yan flattered and said, if they did something else, they would agree, but this matter was too dangerous, so they didn't worry about Ning Ge, so they would let her stay here.
Ning Ge glanced at the two of them and said unhappily, "No need, I'm not hungry and I don't want to bathe." ā
But as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a 'grunt' protest sound.
"Ge'er, you are here waiting for me to come." Murong Jin knew that Ning Ge was sulking, so he didn't care about her, and walked directly in the direction of the side.
Yun Yan knew that Ning Ge had not bathed in the past few days, and her exposed skin was red by her, although she didn't say anything, but he saw everything in his eyes.
He originally wanted to leave to find a water source, wanting to make Ning Ge feel more comfortable, but Murong Jin left, if he walked away again, Ning Ge would be left alone, he was a little uneasy, so he chose to wait for Murong Jin to come back before going.
Seeing that Murong Jin was still holding his club, and had no intention of leaving, Ning Ge couldn't help but ask, "You're not leaving?" ā
Yun Yan shook his head, "I don't worry about you staying here alone. ā
"Yun Yan, in fact, I ......" Ning Ge hesitated, not knowing whether to say this or not.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Ning Ge looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yun Yan asked.
Ning Ge bit her lip lightly, her hands clenched into fists, as if she was making some difficult decision, and only spoke after a while, "I guess Qijiu may be here, only she can spread the Gu......"
"That's why you want to go to the village?"
"Why aren't you surprised?" Ning Ge saw that Yun Yan's face was calm, and her emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest, which made her a little shocked, wasn't Qijiu his sister? Why did he act so calmly, didn't he care about Qijiu at all?
Yun Yan seemed to see through Ning Ge's thoughts, and explained, "Actually, this is this issue that I discussed with Brother Murong just now, he knew the importance of Qijiu to you, so he deliberately concealed it, and didn't want you to go to the village. ā
"You said him?" Ning Ge was a little shocked, she didn't expect Murong Jin's heart to be so careful and think so carefully for her, but what he didn't know was that the more he was like this, the stronger the guilt in her heart became.
