The carriage disappeared in a puff of smoke, stirring up a snow mist, and Brother Li was unhappy, thinking that the young ladies were a little nonsense.

He asked angrily, "Did you two hear what the old man said just now?" ”

"Hear me clearly!" The sisters replied with a grin.

"Then you still drove him away, didn't you listen to the old man, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to go forward, and it's not worth it for us to take risks for something outside of us!"

Shen Ming'er said disdainfully: "Brother Mu, don't listen to his nonsense, near the gold mine, there is our Shen family's mine protection maze, of course the people who go in can't get out, but these things are not dangerous to us, you can just come with us!" ”

"Isn't there really any danger?" Li Mu asked uneasily.

Shen Zixing explained with a smile: "Brother Mu, there is also a guard array outside Shenjia Village, when you left with us, did you encounter danger?" ”

"Sister asked well, don't talk about us, Brother Mu, when you entered Shenjia Village with Sister Xingyue, did you encounter danger?" Shen Ming'er added on the side.

Li Mu understood that the Shen family's protective array was only for outsiders, and as long as he followed his own people, he would not encounter any danger.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of, Li Mu said with a smile: "Okay, take the things and leave now, we will spend the night in Jiufenggou tonight, and after saving up enough physical strength, we will enter the mountain tomorrow!" ”

They took their luggage and walked along the mountain road, this section of the road is really difficult to walk, it seems to be smooth and smooth, but there are either pits or ditches below, if it is not for their skill, I am afraid it will be really difficult to move an inch.

Even so, the mountain road of seven or eight miles also walked for an hour, and when the sky was about to get dark, a small mountain village appeared in the distance.

Li Mu and the others quickened their pace, and after another quarter of an hour, they finally came to the outskirts of the mountain village.

At this moment, Li Mu had already opened his spiritual eyes, he looked closely, and found that the village was not inhabited, it looked a little lifeless, and a dark fog shrouded the entire mountain village, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

The young ladies didn't care, and went straight to the village with their luggage.

Li Mu subconsciously wanted to stop them, and after thinking about it, this cold and snowy place is indeed inconvenient to stay in the wasteland, his two younger sisters are bold, and this is their family's treasure place, maybe there is really nothing to worry about.

The three of them entered the village together, and when the dark fog met them, they all automatically dispersed in all directions, giving way to the road.

After entering the village, Li Mu observed that the scale of this village is not large, there are about a dozen courtyards, each courtyard is deserted, and it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.

In the deepest part of the village, there was a large stone house, with rotten doors and windows, and it was terrifyingly dark inside.

"Brother Mu!" Shen Zixing whispered, "There are dead people in there, and they are sleeping!" ”

Li Mu nodded, frowned and asked, "Is it your Shen family's corpse puppet?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Zixing replied with a smile.

Li Mu said puzzledly: "Shouldn't they go to protect the mine, why are they gathered here, this matter is a bit strange!" ”

Hearing Li Mu say this, the young ladies also felt that something was wrong.

"Maybe something happened there, and they gathered here after they got the order." Shen Zixing guessed.

"Is there anyone from your Shen family stationed here?"

"No, my master told us that the ancestors hid the gold behind the mountains, leaving only corpse puppets to garrison, the conditions here are too difficult, the Shen family is all southerners, and they can't stand the bitter cold in the north, so they all withdrew."

"Then it's strange, who gave them the order?"

The two little girls looked at him in astonishment, the eldest brother was right, since the Shen family had withdrawn, who let the corpse puppets gather here, where did the aborigines in this village go, and why did those corpse puppets stay here.

"Brother Mu, let's go in and have a look!" Shen Zixing suggested.

Li Mu stretched out his hand to stop her and shook his head at her.

"Don't go in, this matter has nothing to do with us, we don't need to find out the truth, don't forget, the purpose of our trip is to get gold, for us, the other truth is not important."

"But, after all, this involves the Shen family, I'm worried that someone is playing the idea of gold mines, I want to find out, what is going on here?" Shen Zixing said a little unwillingly.

"Sister, you are really, don't have so many ideas, just listen to the eldest brother!" Shen Ming'er complained with some dissatisfaction.

Li Mu patted Shen Zixing's shoulder and said to her: "More things are better than less, if you are too curious, you will often get stuck in the quagmire." ”

"What if!"

"That case doesn't matter, listen to the big brother, don't try to uncover this mystery, we are just passing, we have no intention of offending anyone, and everyone is safe."

Shen Zixing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Well, I listen to the eldest brother, no matter about this matter, Brother Mu, will we enter the mountain now?" ”

Li Mu looked at the sky, frowned and said: "After a day of driving, everyone is a little tired, let's rest here for a day, and enter the mountain tomorrow night!" ”

Entering the mountain at night, yes, Shen Zixing needs to determine the location of the gold mine through the stars, this kind of thing can only be done at night, if you want to find the gold mine, you can only choose to enter the mountain at night.

The three of them chose a courtyard to rest temporarily, this courtyard is located at the head of the village, the area is not large, but the doors and windows are well preserved, although they are also dilapidated, but compared with those old houses with only window openings, the conditions are much better.

They are not afraid of those corpse puppets, firstly, they are the corpse puppets of the Shen family and will not attack the Shen family, and secondly, they are bold and bold, those things are not dangerous to them, and they are confident that they can deal with them.

After entering the house, Li Mu blocked the window with a windshield cloth and lit the solid fuel stove, and it didn't take long for the room to become warmer.

The three of them took off their bulky winter clothes, Li Mu boiled a pot of water and boiled three portions of noodles, and after the three brothers ate, one of them chatted around the stove with a cup of hot tea.

Chatting, chatting, Shen Zixing suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Mu, are you a hero?" ”

"Why did you ask this question all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, I just think that the eldest brother is sometimes timid and scared, not like a hero."

"It's not like it, it's not at all, I'm not a hero in the first place!"

"Brother Mu doesn't want to be a hero?" Shen Zixing tilted his head and asked.

Li Mu laughed and teased: "When the hero dies quickly, didn't you say that the eldest brother is your man, do you want to be a little widow at a young age?" ”

Shen Zixing was stunned for a moment, and then replied very seriously: "Big brother, don't be a hero for the rest of your life, let's be a bear!" ”

"Mess around, when a bear is bullied everywhere, either he dies in his own nest, or he is bullied to death, he dies faster than a hero, and it's not worth it!"

"What does the big brother want to do, hero or bear?"

Li Mu took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to be a bear, just be yourself, no matter who you are, if you can live your whole life to understand, you are a great hero." ”

The young ladies didn't seem to understand, Li Mu waved his hand and said to them: "Don't think nonsense, the reason why the eldest brother doesn't let you touch this matter is because we can't afford it, don't forget our current situation, in the case of our own insecurity, we can't make trouble anymore." ”

Speaking of this, Brother Xiao Li suddenly straightened up and said with a wry smile: "It's really fucking unpredictable, I don't want to cause trouble, and I take the initiative to find trouble, I can't do it if I don't want to be a hero now." ”

The two young ladies also stood up alertly, and their bodies rushed out, one holding the door and the other holding the window.

Shen Zixing looked out through the crack in the door, and saw that there were already many "people" standing outside the courtyard, and there were still people gathering here, gathering more and more, blocking the roads in the village.

The men all stood silently, their eyes fixed on the dilapidated house, but none of them entered the courtyard, as if the courtyard was a forbidden place for them to set foot in.

"Are they the corpse golems?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes, it's them, there are a lot of them, no, they should all come, what do they want to do?" Shen Ming'er replied a little nervously.

"Don't look at it, copy guy!" Li Mu commanded in a low voice.

The young ladies hurriedly retreated, extinguished the fuel stove, and began to pack their luggage.

Li Mu couldn't help but scolded: "Are you two crazy, things matter, or life-saving, put down all the luggage for me, and only take chocolate and sapper shovels!" ”

"Brother Mu, so many things, a lot of money to buy, throw them away?" Shen Zixing said distressedly.

"Your life is almost gone, what's the use of asking for things, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get dressed, decorate with more chocolates, and don't want the rest!"

The third brother hurriedly got dressed, stuffed his pockets with chocolates, and picked up a folding sapper shovel to closely monitor the movement outside.

The folding sapper shovel in their hands is a military product, with shovels, pickaxes, crowbars, thorns, saws, knives and other functions, using good quenched high-carbon steel, high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, when working is a tool, when self-defense is a weapon.

And their folding shovels are all sharp, and when wielded, they are a long-handled machete.

"Brother Mu, why didn't they come in?" Shen Ming'er asked curiously.

"I don't know, probably waiting for orders!" Li Mu responded.

As soon as the words fell, the corpse puppets began to pour into the courtyard, and some jumped directly from the dilapidated courtyard wall, and after a while, the courtyard was full of corpse golems, and their blood-red eyes were still staring at the broken house.

"Crow's beak!" Li Mu couldn't help but scold.

Shen Ming'er stuck out her tongue and muttered in a low voice: "I don't say it, they will also come in, as long as they don't attack..."

Li Mu covered her mouth and scolded her: "Dead girl, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will throw you out directly." ”
