Chapter 260: Strange Boy

After staying in Jincheng, which is more prosperous than Qingjing, Yu Ye asked no less than 30 people, from an eight-year-old child to an eighty-year-old man, no one had heard of the place name of the address village, and there was no address mountain or address river nearby, using the address of the address as the place name, and I don't know who came up with the idea.

Yu Ye was worried, from the beginning, he was only worried about whether he could find Xiuzhu, not whether he could find the place of Ji Village, after all, people can leave, and the village will not grow feet, but he didn't expect that he didn't even take the first step, and he couldn't even find that village.

"Could it be that the village is too small for anyone in this big city to hear?" Thinking like this, Yu Ye walked to the window and looked out of the window.

Jincheng is very large, ranking among the best in the entire Tianji Continent; Jincheng is very rich, and it is definitely worthy of the word "brocade" in the name of the city; There were so many people in Jincheng that on a hot June afternoon, there were still bustling crowds on the streets, and everyone was holding a fan, but none of them were used to fan the wind.

As long as women do not squint, women's eyes, no matter what type they are, are usually very beautiful, but they are often disappointing after the fan is put down; Men all take folding fans, not to fan the wind, but to pose, "swish" open and shake twice, and then chic put away and point in a certain direction, I don't know whether it refers to the country or the beauty, I think the latter is more likely.

From time to time, you can see vendors carrying their burdens putting them down to the side of the street, sitting on the ground with their buttocks, or taking off their straw hats to fan the wind. Either pick up the towel hanging around your neck and wipe your sweat, and occasionally remember to shout a few words, but it doesn't have much effect.

"Could it be that Qin Dongtian played a trick?" Look at the colorful streets. Yu Ye thought again, but then denied it, Qin Dongtian had reason to hate him, but there was no reason to just let him run for nothing, besides, this was not even a run for nothing, and he hadn't found his destination yet.

Suddenly, he sensed someone watching him. After observing it quietly, he saw a plainly dressed young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, behind a tree. Half of his face was poking out from behind the tree to look at it.

Jincheng is relatively close to Qingdu, it only takes half a month to go by carriage, and a small part of the people in the city have already left, all of whom have relatives or friends in Qingjing. After I went, I had a place to stay. The rest of these people who can't find a place to live will have to go at least more than ten or twenty days before leaving, pinch a little bit, even if they sleep on the street after they go, they can suffer a few days less, inns and other places don't have to think about it, it has to be left to the cultivators, even if the cultivators don't live, they have to leave it to the royal palaces and nobles of various countries, during this time, the inns in Qingjing are rich and may not be able to live.

Yu Ye turned his head to look at the young man, and the young man was not hiding. looked at Yu Ye very openly, it seemed that hiding behind a tree was not trying to hide from Yu Ye.

After making sure that the boy was looking at himself. Yu Ye beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over.

The boy shrank behind the tree, as if he had been thinking about it for a while, and then he walked into the inn with some hesitation.

Closing the window, Yu Ye took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, the tea was a little drunk, and it looked even more bitter after it was cold, but the sweetness effect of drinking it was better.

There was a sound of soft footsteps in the corridor outside the room, and Yu Ye walked over and opened the door, and saw the young man who was about to knock on the door with his hand raised.

The young man has dark skin, his appearance and clothes are a little rustic, after seeing Yu Ye, he nodded a little jerky, his shy appearance reminded Yu Ye of Yu Xia, after letting the young man into the room, Yu Ye poured him a cup of tea and waited for him to speak.

Probably standing on the street for a long time, the young man raised his warm tea and drank it up, wiped his mouth, and said seriously: "I can take you to the village." ”

Yu Ye didn't answer immediately, poured another cup of tea for the young man, put the teapot with rough workmanship but looked antique on the table, the four fingers of his right hand gently tapped the fruit noodles, and thought for a while before saying, "You are insulting my IQ." ”

The reason why he was silent for a long time was because he recalled the more than 30 people he had asked in the past few days, and whether their expressions had changed after hearing the name of "Jicun".

The boy came too suddenly, too abnormal, the first day asked a lot of people, young and old, no one had heard of the address village, but at noon the next day, a teenager took the initiative to come to the door, saying that he could take Yu Ye to the address village, as long as he was not a person of the level of the second fool, he should be surprised about the origin and intentions of this young man.

After the boy said that sentence, Yu Ye began to recall, he was sure that he had not seen this young man, so the information about his going to the address village was what the young man knew from others, the true anger was gone, and the memory that he never forgot was still there, as long as he recalled that someone had a different look after hearing the word address village, Yu Ye would immediately leave here, get rid of this young man, and then find the person who looked different but said that he had not heard of the address village.

The young man took the initiative to come to the door, no matter what the purpose was, he must have been arranged and prepared, and Yu Ye was in a passive state. And get rid of the boy and go to the person with an abnormal look, he took the initiative, although he couldn't arrange anything, but he could make the other party's arrangement fall through.

It's a pity that Yu Ye couldn't find any abnormalities, so he could only look for clues from the young man's side, he was already an ordinary person, and he didn't have the capital to play with his life, so naturally he couldn't follow the young man's steps, so he said that sentence.

When the young man heard this, he paused and involuntarily asked, "What?" ”

Yu Ye didn't answer his question, nor did he ask who sent him, but just said calmly: "I don't need you to take it with you, you can ...... No, you just have to tell me the direction, go out of the city which way to go, and the rest will not be taken care of. ”

The young man froze for a while, and suddenly sneered with disdain, this sneer squirted out his rustic atmosphere, shyness and dazedness from his nose, and suddenly changed from a young man who looked at melons and thorns to a pampered rich young master with a bit of squirrel.

The changes were too fast and the contrast was too great, so Yu Ye couldn't digest it for a while, and the young man didn't answer his question, but just said, "My name is Ma Liang." ”

Yu Ye shook his head and laughed: "I'm Yu Ye, do you have a magic pen?" ”

Of course, the young man named Ma Liang didn't understand this stalk, frowned, decided to ignore it, and asked, "You are going to Jicun, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Something." Yu Ye only said two words, unwilling to say more.

Ma Liang said again: "I am a person from the address village, you can tell me anything you have in the address village." ”

Yu Ye shook his head, took another sip of strong bitter tea, the old god closed his eyes, and said slowly: "When you arrive at the address village, it is indeed the address village, I will tell you again." ”

Ma Liang's face was a little ugly, and he said with a slight mockery: "I can fulfill your wish, I just hope that you will not regret it when you arrive in the address village." ”

When Yu Ye heard these somewhat cold words, he suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, stood up suddenly, and slammed the teacup in his hand towards the young man.

The last thing he saw was the boy waving his hand like dust, and the teacup didn't even touch his body, and the spilled tea in the cup flew to the other side, shattering.

……

……

The black carriage drove slowly on the southward road, and it was still the sturdy black horse that pulled the cart, but the driver was replaced by a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a curtain, with a long black metal short stick beside him.

The robe was very wide, covering Dongzang's somewhat exaggerated figure, the curtain on the hat was dark gray, covering her delicate face, the muzzle of the shotgun was cold, but there was a strong smell of gunpowder, this gun had spewed out nearly a thousand small steel balls today, and the gun was already full of bullets at this time, ready to spew out deadly anger again.

Xu Qing'an was sitting in the carriage, still cultivating with his eyes closed, with the same set of black robes and curtains beside him, and there was a tear in the clothes on his right arm, and there were a lot of blood stains around the hole.

Neither of them expected that after walking for about a week after coming out of Baohe County, they met people who wanted to rob them and their carriage one after another.

Most of them are young people who went to Gyeongdu and prepared to participate in the general election, they couldn't enter the city, because they were inexperienced and not prepared for a long journey, and those with poor survivability died halfway, and the rest were still alive, but most of the carriages broke down halfway, and the only purpose at this time was to find a carriage to sit in, of course, it would be better if there were two beautiful women in the carriage to accompany them.

Each shot of a shotgun can take a life or two, or a limb or two, and the black horse pulling the cart almost went crazy when he first heard the gunfire on the forest path, but now he is used to it, and he will only turn his ears away when the gun goes off.

After seeing those very tired people at the beginning, Dongzang and Xu Qing'an both had some sympathy, and let a seven or eight-year-old little girl get in the car and share a ride, but after the little girl took advantage of Xu Qing'an's cultivation to show a hideous face, she suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Xu Qing'an's arm, and those sympathies flowed away with the blood, and after more than ten days, they could already see the approaching people and raised their guns to warn, if the other party dared to take a step closer, they would shoot immediately, regardless of men, women and children.

This is probably the second lesson they have taken, and it has nothing to do with cultivators at all, they are facing very pure ordinary people, and it is precisely because they are ordinary people that this lesson for them is more fulfilling and vivid.

It had been raining heavily for a few days, and the ground was muddy, and the black horse flicked his hooves from time to time to throw aside the dirt on the soles of his feet, and still pulled the cart diligently, occasionally snorting, as if complaining about this damn world.
