ps: If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and pay attention to give more support! To be precise, the dwelling in front of me is a village, but it is deserted.

It's flat all around, and weeds are everywhere except for some tall trees. It looks especially desolate in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the occasional crow flies by, which makes people feel a chill in their hearts.

Nie Shuyao looked at the smiling old man and sneered, "Is this *?" ”

The old man frowned, "How do you speak?" I came here once a year ago, and it wasn't so desolate back then. ”

"And what do you think is not desolate?"

The old man pointed to the house in front of him and said, "At that time, the roof was not broken, and there was still a wall here." ”

They were standing in front of a large mansion at this time, but this house was even more dilapidated than the original Taoist temple, fortunately it was a brick and stone structure, otherwise it might not even be able to keep the foundation under the long-term rain.

Nie Shuyao frowned and was silent, thinking about the origin of the ruins in front of her, leaving Nie Tianxi to follow her, while Jiang Yi and the others went to find a house to live in the ruins.

The old man also stayed here, and kept muttering, "Miss Nie, you can't wronged a good person, I'm not old, sometimes I can't remember the road?" ”

Nie Shuyao was a little annoyed when he interrupted his thoughts, and said casually: "Really? This time it's a nobody*, where is the next time? It won't be a Hades store. ”

The old man was so choked by her that he couldn't speak, "You ......, how can you say that?" ”

Stupid Daddy got out of the car and saw the ruins, his mouth wide enough to fit an egg. "So what my dad said was true."

"What did you say?" Nie Shuyao hurriedly ran over and asked.

The stupid father said: "The big family who fled originally wanted to settle in Qingshui Village, but they thought it was not good there, so they left again. ”

Nie Shuyao was 100% sure that this ruin was left by the big family, but why was there no one? Is it their enemy?

She looked at the old man again. Seriously, "Who are you?" ”

The old man looked at her blankly, "What kind of person?" ”

Nie Shuyao rolled her eyes, this person is really annoying. looked at the stupid girl father and said, "Are there any hunters in your village?" ”

"Our family is Orion, but this craft is broken to me, I'm stupid, and my father doesn't want to pass it on to me. It is useless to say that it is useless to be an Orion. But he passed it on to my second brother, alas! Stupid Daddy said with some embarrassment.

"Alas!" Nie Shuyao also sighed, Qingshui Village, Qingshui River, how many things she didn't understand. This feeling of confusion is really uncomfortable.

Soon the scattered people gathered, and the second cannon said, "Girl." Brother Feng and I found a three-entry house, where people can still live. Let's go over there first. ”

Feng Wuya also said: "There are indeed people living over there." ”

Nie Shuyao nodded and said, "When Brother Jiang comes back, we'll go over there." ”

Looking at this ruin, it can be seen that thirty or forty families can live in it, and the buildings here are built at some point, and it can be seen that the bricks and stones are made of good materials, but even if they are good materials, they have become ruins, and they may have been abandoned for decades.

No matter how good the house is, there is no popularity. It won't be a few years before it looks desolate. Like the grass in this ruin, it is green and yellow, yellow and green, and it seems that there are many rabbit nests in it. It's not a part of the woods, so it's pretty well preserved.

"Old man, do you know what kind of village this is?" Nie Shuyao asked suddenly.

The old man frowned and said, "I think it's a paradise." ”

Nie Shuyao looked at him coldly and asked, "Where is the peach?" ”

"Poof!" Several people around her laughed at the same time, washing away the depression of the day.

Not long after, Jiang Yi returned. The face is not good-looking. But he didn't say anything when he heard their laughter, and followed the second artillery directly to the house where he could live.

The carriage line was not moving fast in the ruins. But this is really not an ordinary village, and the roads in it can run horse-drawn carriages. Some are like the streets of the city.

The house was in the middle of the ruins, the gate had long since rotted, and the carriage drove straight in, and when it entered, it was mostly half a man's tall weed. As for the shadow wall and the hanging flower gate, these things have long since collapsed to the ground.

While it was still daytime, everyone worked together to clear the big roots of the grass before coming to the main house, the house was a mess, the tables and chairs were rotten, and there were a lot of cobwebs. Luckily, they found a well, so they simply cleaned it and prepared to spend the night.

After a qiē was cleaned up, it was also dark, and a wolf howl sounded outside. The timid stupid girl has been hiding in the carriage and not daring to get down, and the fat aunt is also in the carriage.

Jiang Yiyi was bold, and when they were preparing dinner, he went out to get a lot of dry firewood and came back, hugged some thick bamboo, and ordered the doors and windows to death when he came in, but fortunately, the room was big enough, and a few horses were also brought in.

After a brief meal, everyone planned to rest, and wait for tomorrow.

But Nie Shuyao felt aggrieved, what kind of life is this, but if you have a good time, you will come to this mountain to suffer. Therefore, it is particularly unpleasant to look at the old man.

"Old man, you say, what kind of heart do you have? Don't you say where this is? ”

The old man's face was red when he said it, and he still said the same sentence, "Didn't the old man forget his way." ”

Nie Shuyao pouted, "Don't say it, don't say it, let's go back the same way tomorrow and don't go to Huaishu Village." ”

"Isn't it? That water ghost doesn't care? The old man said hurriedly.

"Tomorrow we will go back and cut Lizheng to see who dares to pretend to be a ghost?" Nie Shuyao gritted her teeth and said.

Nie Tianxi also said: "It should have been like this a long time ago, where is this ghost place inhabited, how can my sister suffer this." ”

"That's it, that's it!" Second Artillery and Feng Wuya also said the same.

Only Jiang Yi didn't follow their words, but said, "If I can, I can go down the mountain and cut down there now." ”

"Well, you ......, you can't do that." The old man is really in a hurry, and he got up and said.

Nie Shuyao yawned and said, "Say it or not, I'll sleep first." So saying, he walked to the carriage.

"I said, I said it's not okay? You have to go to Locust Village. "The old man finally decided to tell the truth.

"Okay. We're listening. Nie Shuyao immediately came back and sat cross-legged on the blanket.

The others did the same, only the stupid daddy shook his head and went back to the old man's car to rest.

The old man knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he also sat down cross-legged and said, "Actually, this is still the jade pendant that the owner sued me." He said that this was his original home, but he encountered bandits when he was a child. The family was separated, so I came here with a jade pendant to find his relatives. But when I came here a year ago, I found it in ruins. ”

Nie Shuyao frowned and asked, "This is Huaishu Village?" ”

"It's not."

"Doesn't the owner of the jade pendant live in Huaishu Village?" Nie Shuyao asked again.

The old man replied, "After he escaped from here, he lived in Huaishu Village, where he lived for more than ten years, but there are still his former relatives here. didn't expect that the father-in-law who raised him in Huaishu Village also died so unclearly, but he couldn't find an enemy, and after he left Huaishu Village, he borrowed wine every day to dispel ......his sorrows. ”

Nie Shuyao interrupted his unimportant nagging. "How did you meet?" ”

"We are business partners in Beijing together, and we also met in the inn on the road, so we went to Beijing together. But when I met a robber on the way, he blocked a knife for me and went like this, and entrusted me with this before he died. The old man picked up the small wine bag hanging from his body. Took a sip of it.

This wine bag has been hanging on him, this is the first time Nie Shuyao has seen him drink. But the truth of these words needs to be verified, thinking of Qingshui Village, he asked again: "Do you know those weird aquatic plants?" ”

The old man frowned, nodded and said, "Ever since the girl got those little water plants from the Qingshui River, I have known about this thing. ”

"How do you know?"

The old man smiled and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I will take you to see it tomorrow, this thing is not a rare thing here." ”

Nie Shuyao and the others looked at each other. After the old man also went back to the car to rest, Jiang Yi gathered them together and whispered, "Guess what I found?" ”

"What?"

"A grave. There are no tombstones. ”

Nie Shuyao was a little surprised, and said to herself, "Could it be that what the old man said is true?" ”

"I don't think so, this old guy is the hell!" Nie Tianxi shook his head and said, these days they have a better understanding of this old man, and only the word "flamboyant tongue" can describe him.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired from a day's journey. Get a good night's sleep and find what we need. After Nie Shuyao finished speaking, he climbed into his sleeping bag first.

Maybe it's really tired. The wolf howl outside couldn't wake up Nie Shuyao, and when he woke up, he only felt a sore back. When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

Climbing out of the sleeping bag, everyone was gone, only the sound of chopping wood outside could be heard. She stretched, combed her hair in a bun casually, and when she went out, everyone was in full swing to renovate this big yard.

The grass was all cleared, and the horses were eating on the haystack. Second Artillery, Feng Wuya, and Benya were preparing breakfast on the stove; And Nie Tianxi and Jiang Yi kept coming back from carrying the wood on their faces.

It was the stupid father who cut the wood, and it was the old man who gave him the hand, and he couldn't tell that the stupid father was still a carpenter. A door is being made at this time.

This was originally a good labor scene, but Nie Shuyao pouted, did she have to stay in this deep mountain for a long time? The answer is, no! If she was born in the mountains, she might fall in love with it, but her world is destined to be outside the mountains.

"Ahem! What are you doing? She was dressed and asked knowingly.

The stupid girl ran over with a smile and said, "Although the house here is a little old, my father said that it is stronger than our house, and you can live in it if you install a door in the future and clean it up slowly." ”

"Oh, let's eat first." Nie Shuyao said boringly.

After the meal, Nie Shuyao said: "Let's go out for a walk, you guys have a good rest, especially to protect yourself." ”

Then he pulled Nie Tianxi and Jiang Yi out without looking back, and the three of them each carried a big backpack, which contained some must-haves for wild life, (The novel will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!)
