The man smiled at Ling Yan, then turned around and walked forward again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Lian Rui secretly approached Ling Yan and whispered, "General Yan, what is this...... There won't be a fraud, right? ”

Ling Yan was afraid that the young man would hear it, so he hurriedly signaled Lian Rui not to say anything more, and took the opportunity to reply in a low voice: "No, don't worry." ”

As if deliberately trying to let the young people hear, You Heng said in his usual volume: "Even if there is fraud, what can you do?" Just rush out. ”

Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly looked at the young man, but fortunately, the man continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard it. Ling Yan judged that the person might have heard Youheng's words and could guess what Youheng meant, but he just ignored it.

But in any case, Ling Yan didn't want the relationship he had just established with that person to be destroyed, so he looked at You Heng with some pleading. You Heng looked at Ling Yan and didn't say anything.

It wasn't until he got closer that Ling Yan could see the whole thatched hut clearly—to be exact, there were three thatched huts, the middle one was larger, the left one was a little smaller, and the right one was the smallest, only the middle one was about half the size. The three huts are very close to each other. Before, in the distance, because it was too dark, Ling Yan didn't see it clearly, and thought it was one.

In addition to this, the three huts are actually quite ordinary and a little dilapidated, but it seems that shelter from the wind and rain is not a problem at all. The hut is surrounded by a fence, and the sparse wooden piles cannot resist the entry of outsiders, and it feels like it is just a show; There seems to be something planted on the ground in the garden.

The young man opened the fence gate and made a "please" gesture to Ling Yan and the others: "Four generals, please come in." ”

Ling Yan asked as he walked, "This is your master's residence?" ”

The young man nodded, "Exactly." ”

Ling Yan wondered: "In addition to the master and you, there should be someone else living in the house, right?" Ling Yan deduced from the fact that there were three huts, and he guessed that there should be one or two more people living here. However, even if two people lived, Ling Yan completely understood that people outside the world had different habits.

Originally, it was just an ordinary question, but after hearing Ling Yan's question, the young man's expression was a little strange, and it didn't seem very natural, but it was only a matter of a moment, and he quickly regained his composure. Although this subtle facial change was not easy to detect, Ling Yan, who had been looking at the young man, noticed this.

"Hmm...... Usually only my master lives with me, and my master likes to be clean and doesn't like outsiders to disturb him......" the young man said softly.

Ling Yan naturally heard that there was something in the young man's words - because he said "usually", whether there were these two words or not, the meaning of the sentence was very different. Ling Yan didn't speak, just looked at the young man.

Sure enough, after a pause, the young man added: "Recently, there are other people living here, but ...... He doesn't live for long, and probably won't live for long......," he said, his brow furrowed slightly.

The last sentence was obviously a little incoherent and not easy to understand, but Ling Yan still nodded with satisfaction, he didn't plan to ask further, and he didn't have much interest in asking who lived here, after all, this barren mountain and wild range, no matter who came to live, he couldn't know it, he just felt a little funny in his heart: it really takes a lot of courage to live in this place surrounded by wild beasts, and he really sympathizes with the person who came to borrow it!

Under the guidance of the young man, Ling Yan and the others walked through the garden, pushed open the door of the house, and entered the thatched hut in the middle.

Of the three rooms, it was this one that gave light from a faint light from an oil lamp. But there was no one in this room, which was certain from the first time Ling Yan stepped in—this room was extremely simple, almost empty except for the necessary wooden furniture for food and shelter, and it was naturally clear whether there was anyone in the room or not.

The young man gave up his seat to Ling Yan and the others, and then said, "General, wait a while, I'll go and invite my master to come and meet." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly asked, "Where is your master?" ”

The young man pointed in the direction of the smallest hut: "My master is concentrating on cultivation in the next room. ”

"Uh-oh." Ling Yan didn't say anything, but muttered in his heart: It's really an immortal, otherwise how can he practice? I just don't know, what is the black light in the room doing? It's not sleeping, is it......

Thinking of this, Ling Yan almost laughed, but he still showed an expression of laughter, fortunately, the young man had already gone out to find his master, but You Heng saw Ling Yan's expression, and asked a little puzzled: "Brother Xian, why are you laughing?" ”

Ling Yan naturally didn't explain, just smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, let's wait for the master to come out." ”

You Heng probably felt that Ling Yan's relaxed expression was a little out of place, so he said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, what kind of master this family is like, I don't know yet, if they have bad intentions, our situation is extremely bad!" Besides, there are dozens of wild beasts lurking around here......"

Lian Rui also chimed in: "Yes, General Yan, although that person doesn't seem hostile, it's better for us to be careful." ”

"It's always good to be careful...... Ling Yan nodded first, then pouted, "But this young man doesn't look like a bad guy, and he doesn't seem to be able to wield knives and guns except for playing the flute, so he won't pose any threat to us." In his heart, he didn't think very much of the mentality of You Heng and the others as if they were facing a great enemy.

Lian Rui said again: "That person seems to be able to use witchcraft and manipulate beasts......

Ling Yan completely agreed with this: "I also think that person is not simple...... But now that we're in the house, if we really fight, we won't necessarily suffer. ”

Lu Gong stood up with a "sigh": "General Yan, the last general will go to the door to investigate first, and if he finds that the owner of this hut has bad intentions, he will stab him to death with a spear!" So saying, he went to the door.

Ling Yan hurriedly stopped: "General Lu, don't go!" ”

As soon as Ling Yan finished speaking, Lu Gong had already opened the door of the house, but he was stunned the moment the door opened, and did not step out.

Ling Yan knew that it was the owner of the house who came, so he hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the door, and looked out of the door: an old man with a long beard and white hair and an extremely thin face was standing in front of the door, wearing clothes that looked very similar to Taoist clothes, and he felt like a fairy wind and bones, and there was the young man standing behind him.

At this time, You Heng and Lian Rui also got up and came behind Ling Yan and looked out the door.

The young man took a step forward and introduced each other: "This is my master, master, they are the lost generals. ”

Ling Yan hurriedly saluted the old man and said, "We came to your place late at night, and we are sorry for the disturbance. ”

You Heng and Lian Rui also followed Shi Li, only Lu Gong was still stunned.

The old man smiled "hehe", and his voice was loud: "The mountains are old and decaying, I really didn't know that the young general was here, and he didn't have time to greet him, and he hoped to forgive his sins." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "It's us who came to disturb, and I hope the old man will forgive us for our recklessness." ”

The old man smiled again, raised his hand and pointed at Lu Gong: "This general, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu Gong didn't know how to answer for a while, but Ling Yan hurriedly took it: "General Lu heard footsteps just now and was saying that he was going to open the door to greet him." Ling Yan didn't know if the old man would believe it, but this was also the best explanation he could think of temporarily.

"Haha!" The old man laughed, "Why should the general be so polite. ”

The old man's laughter made Ling Yan's heart a little furious, he could hear that the old man didn't believe his statement at all, and the sentence "why be polite" didn't seem to have any other meaning.

Ling Yan simply stopped talking, took two steps back, and looked at the old man with a smile.

The old man entered the door and sat down with Ling Yan and the other guests, and the young man went to prepare food.

The old man looked at Ling Yan and the other four people, and finally his eyes fell on Ling Yan: "The general is in the dust, I don't know where he came from?" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly clenched his fists: "Old man, we are from Dingtao City...... After losing the battle, he fled here. ”

The old man smiled: "Doesn't the general know that this is a deserted place?" There are no people in a radius of more than ten miles. ”

Ling Yan replied: "I just lost the battle, I don't know the way to go, and I really don't know the environment here...... Thank you and the boy for allowing us to rest here for a while. This sentence Ling Yan really came from the heart.

"Hehe......" The old man smiled, looked at Ling Yan for a while, and then said: "I see that the general's appearance is extraordinary, not like an ordinary person, dare to ask the general's surname?" ”

"My name is Ling Yan, and they all call me General Yan." Ling Yan replied respectfully.

The old man nodded, pondered for a while, and then smiled: "The old man has lived here for a long time, he doesn't ask about the world, he hasn't heard of the general's name, forgive his sins, forgive his sins." ”

Ling Yan didn't expect this old man to hear his name, so he hurriedly said, "Don't say that, old man, we already feel very embarrassed to disturb us late at night." ”

"Hmm......" the old man smiled and looked at Ling Yan again, "The general's injuries don't seem to be light. ”

Ling Yan looked down at his abdomen: "Yes...... When I was fighting before, I was wounded by the enemy. ”

"The general is indeed an extraordinary person," the old man smiled and nodded, "If ordinary people are seriously injured like this, it may be difficult to support this." ”

Ling Yan was a little surprised, and thought to himself, "This old man didn't see my wounds either, how did he know that I was seriously injured?" Is this old man really a god? ”

The old man seemed to see Ling Yan's question, and then smiled: "I see that the general's body is stained with blood, and the general also said that he just lost the battle, so he just guessed randomly, if there is a fallacy, the general should not blame." ”

Ling Yan didn't believe the old man's explanation too much, he still felt that the old man could see that he was seriously injured, so he asked a key question: "By the way, haven't you asked the old man's name yet?" He wanted to determine the identity of the old man by knowing the old man's name, after all, he was still very familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms.
