Chapter 142: The Land of the Dead, a Dilemma
The body is a little uncomfortable, and the head hurts badly, so this chapter was uploaded a little late. Fellow book friends, forgive me. The evening chapter may be a little later.,I hope I can code it out sooner.。 =-=――
Yan Lin lived in this town in the worst hotel in his life, a dilapidated and chaotic house of a few square meters, and it cost more than 1,000 yuan a night, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was a robbery.
Although it was very resistant, there was still no way to do it, and I had to break the bank. Outside, the snow was falling, and the cold wind was whistling like a knife, and the bones of the body seemed to be cold as if they were getting through the collar. On such a cold night, if you don't stay in the store, I'm afraid you will have to freeze into a popsicle.
However, the owner of the small inn was quite welcoming. The accommodation fee was paid, everything was easy to say, although the hot water was simple, but it was all available, and the guests had some requirements, and he also smiled and tried his best to take care of them one by one.
After a steaming simple dinner, Yan Lin found the shopkeeper alone.
The small duty room has a high window, there are walls on all sides, and a big brazier is placed next to the folding single bed, and the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, from time to time with iron tongs and one or two pieces of charcoal, and stir up the charcoal fire, the charcoal fire is burning vigorously, and the room is like spring, and it is extremely warm.
"Is there anything wrong with the girl? Come in and sit down. Seeing Yan Lin knocking on the door and coming in, the shopkeeper found her a small stool and put it in front of the brazier, and beckoned Yan Lin to gather in front of the brazier. He is not tall, but he is very strong, and he always has a gentle smile on his face, which makes people involuntarily feel a little intimate. Mandarin is not standard, but it can be understood.
Yan Lin smiled and thanked him, sat down in front of the brazier, and the warmth suddenly swept through his body, sweeping away the coldness of his body.
I wasn't going to make too many politeness, Yan Lin's slender Shuangxiu roasted the fire, looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "I heard that it was very lively here three days ago, I don't know what happened at that time?" The wrecked car at the station must have something to do with what happened three days ago, right? ”
The shopkeeper nodded, rubbed his hands and asked, "Girl, you should also be here for that dragon tomb, right?" Hey, if you want me to say, it's better not to go, girl. You should also know the news that the remnants of the Dragon Tomb appeared here before you made a special trip here, and in the past ten days, there should have been hundreds of thousands of people who rushed to our town like you. ”
Yan Lin suddenly frowned: "So many? ”
The shopkeeper snorted and said, "Isn't it? In the past ten days, we have been really lively here. In the past, people used to go on expeditions to the Uramo Mountains every year, and they would settle down in our town to replenish some items. However, there has never been a time like this one. Those people who came this time are not ordinary people! One by one, it was as cold as ice, and there were many people among them who should normally look wrong, and three days ago in our small station, two groups of people fought as soon as they met, and they met with firearms, and four or five people died, and then the less powerful side suffered a big loss and fled into the Uramo Mountains overnight, and the weapon fight was over. ”
The shopkeeper seemed to be slightly frightened, rubbed his hands and said, "But fortunately, their steps are very hurried, and most of them just stay here for one night and leave, otherwise we in our town will probably have to be careful." Girl, really, those people can't be provoked, I advise you, don't go to that dragon tomb, look at you don't look like a poor person, find a good man to have a happy time, it's just plain. ”
Yan Lin smiled and said, "I'm not here for the Dragon Tomb, but for finding someone, but thank you for your kind reminder, I'll be careful." By the way, I don't know if such a person has ever been here" Yan Lin suddenly became a little distressed, and she realized that she didn't have a photo of Lu Ming. I had to roughly talk about Lu Ming's appearance based on memory.
I didn't expect the shopkeeper to really see it, but I saw that his eyes lit up, and he said twice: "I have really seen this person you said, and I am not afraid of your jokes, girl, the reason why I remember it is mainly because of a woman next to the young man." Hey, how can I say it, that woman is really not ordinary beautiful, she is really a woman who can't be forgotten at first sight. There were three of them together and had been staying in a hotel across the street a few days earlier. No, that's it. The shopkeeper said and stretched out his hand to look at the building through the high window, and it was indeed a small inn.
"That figure, that eye, that charming voice, what a goblin! The old smoker stared at the woman and let his wife quarrel with him! Oh, the old smoker is the owner of the inn across the street, and he knows me. That old man, except for smoking, likes to look at pretty girls! The shopkeeper laughed and scolded.
Yan Lin's heart suddenly moved, and he asked carefully, and immediately confirmed that Lu Ming had indeed been here. The fairy-like woman that the shopkeeper said is Huang Ling'er.
Yan Lin has seen Huang Ling'er, and she is indeed a bewitching woman who makes it difficult for men to take their eyes off. She once suspected that it was Lu Ming who took away the black beauty Blankena, and she had quietly observed Lu Ming's Chinese medicine pharmacy a few times, and every time she saw Huang Ling'er, Yan Lin still couldn't help but be jealous
"Did they all enter the Uramo Mountains? I saw that the mountains were all covered with snow, and even if there was anything, it was hard to find anything. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "The girl just doesn't know, they are not coming for the Ulamo Mountain Range, but the jungle of the dead behind the Ulamo Mountain Range!" ”
"The jungle of the dead?"
Yan Lin was suddenly puzzled, now that the Internet is so developed, there is no reason why I haven't heard of such a place name!
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Oh, the Jungle of the Dead is not its name, it's just that we people here call it that." Its name should be the Eya Jungle, the most dangerous, the most complex terrain in the world, and the largest place of death! Every year, many expeditions go there to adventure, but there are only two out of ten people who can come out of it alive. There are not only tall mountains where fierce beasts gather, but also swamps filled with poisonous gas, ancient forests full of snakes and insects, endless deserts, and valleys and cliffs shrouded in thick fog all year round, no one has been able to find out what kind of terrain is inside. ”
"It turned out to be the Aoya Jungle!" Yan Lin has naturally heard this name, and to this day, it is still an unknown place. Its climate is harsh and unpredictable, and the air currents above it are strange and changeable, and many planes passing above will crash innocently without a trace, let alone parachute in to explore.
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Where else can it be, many people pass by us every year to explore inside, but it is rare to see familiar faces come back alive." The people of my grandfather's generation were really poor and crazy, and a few bold people went in, but they all died in the mouth of the beast when they reached the outermost periphery, and my grandfather was cowardly, and he only lived at the back, otherwise, I don't know if I can crawl out of my mother's belly. Girl, it's better not to go, don't take any risks. ”
Yan Lin smiled bitterly, thanked her, and after returning to her residence, she was also a little embarrassed.
"Miss Yan, you're back."
Chu Qing had just finished taking a shower, and came out of the bathroom with her steamy long hair to say hello.
"Miss Chu, I went to ask the shopkeeper just now, and it turns out that most of the people who came here went to the Eiya Jungle, which is what they call the Jungle of the Dead. Will you go too? ”
"The jungle of the dead?" Chu Qing smiled and said without hesitation: "Of course I will go, how many people can meet such a lively opportunity in the Dragon Tomb?" Even if I really die in it, being able to take an adventure is worth it for my life. ”
Yan Lin is not good at what to say? I can only wonder in my heart, what kind of identity is this girl, she is so bold.
Turning off the lights and falling asleep, Yan Lin secretly thought about her thoughts.
Yan Lin has always been very bold, but after hearing about Erya Jungle, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. She didn't come this time for the Dragon Tomb, but to find Lu Ming and ask him to help heal her father. There is really no need to go to the dangerous place of death, if something happens to him, what will Suhai City's mother do
However, it is difficult to let her retreat like this now, after all, she is unwilling.
Hey, it seems that there is only one step at a time. I really don't know where Lu Ming is now? followed like this, and I don't know how sure I can meet Lu Ming, even if I do, will Lu Ming immediately return to Suhai City with her?
At this time, Yan Lin had a sense of dilemma
In the early hours of the morning, Yan Lin suddenly woke up from her sleep, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Qing also sitting up from the bed, her face was shocked.
"Earthquake?"
The two looked at each other and asked in surprise.
I saw that the floor of the entire room shook slightly, and on the simple wooden table, the lid of the teacup kept shaking and clattering. (To be continued.) )
