Chapter 286: The Farmer
Mu Lan observed the farmhouse in the distance, there was a small courtyard, and the earthen houses were full of thatch, which looked old and dilapidated, and suddenly became curious, and I don't know how long I hadn't seen such a building.
However, since there are people living in it, it means that the environment in which they are located will not be too dangerous, Mu Lan greeted everyone and hurried there.
Perceiving that side with her spiritual power, Mu Lan found that there was no one in the farmhouse, and a fire was being lit in the house for cooking, but the owner was gone.
Lin Yiyi came to the outside of the courtyard, formed a horn with her hands, and shouted at the top of her voice.
"Anyone?"
"No one." Mu Lan shook her head, she had sensed it inside and out just now, the farmhouse was indeed empty.
"Huh?" Lin Yiyi said strangely: "But I obviously smell the smell of rice." ”
"Maybe there's something going out." Zhao Ziyu said, "Do you want to wait here?" ”
Ah Feng seemed to notice something, and looked in one direction sensitively.
"Listen!"
Mu Lan followed his gaze to the valley, but neither saw nor heard anything.
"What did you hear?"
Ah Feng took out the Desert Eagle from the storage space and said softly, "The cry of the beast." ”
This sentence made everyone vigilant, Lin Yiyi immediately took out the short bow and asked, "Where is it?" ”
Ah Feng didn't say much, but walked straight in that direction.
Everyone followed him around an undulating hill, and the sound of the beast became clear, and Mu Lan sensed two fast-running figures at the same time.
A man was fighting an animal, the human with a wood knife, it was supposed to be a farmer here, and the animal confronting him was a wolf.
Lin Yiyi tried her best to distinguish the two shadows, then raised her short bow and asked Mu Lan, "Do you want to help?" ”
"Of course!"
When approaching the farmer, Mu Lan noticed that he was about forty years old, wearing a coarse cloth short coat, probably because of the perennial farming, his skin was dark and rough, and what made her feel most interesting was that this farmer was wearing his hair in a bun and his right jacket, obviously dressed as an ancient.
"It seems that I don't need my help......" Lin Yiyi pointed to the farmer, her tone a little surprised.
When the wolf pounced on the farmer, the farmer turned over and dodged cleanly, and staggered his position, taking the opportunity to wave his firewood knife with his backhand, and blood splashed suddenly.
This wild wolf is a circle larger than what Mu Lan has seen on TV, almost the same size as the strange beast in the [Hunting Season], and its eyes are fierce, its canine teeth are exposed, and it exudes a fierce threatening voice.
However, during the struggle between the two sides, it did not take advantage of it at all, but was injured by the farmer's firewood knife, and several large and small blood cuts were left on its back.
The wolf hissed and slowed down after being struck in the back, and the farmer seized the moment to rush forward, and the knife went straight to the wolf's throat.
"I'll go, are the natives here so good?" Zhao Ziyu couldn't believe it.
"The aura here is very strong." Mu Lan said.
"That's right, it's very rich, I found it as soon as I entered." Zhao Ziyu pondered: "I thought that Yunfu Mountain outside was a good place to contain aura, but I didn't expect that this is the real blessed land for cultivation. ”
"That's not a surprise." Mu Lan looked at the one person and one wolf in the fight, and the farmer had already gained the upper hand while speaking, and the seemingly indiscriminate slashing was actually quite orderly, cutting the wild wolf all over the body and wailing, and the battle was already over without even the Nirvana team.
The wolf staggered to a pool of blood, and the farmer with a blood-stained knife looked at them.
"We're here to help." Mu Lan walked forward and showed a kind smile, "I didn't expect your skills to be so good." ”
The farmer looked at Mu Lan and the group, looking a little puzzled, and after a moment of silence, he squatted down and ended the life of the wild wolf with a firewood knife.
He dragged the corpse of the wild wolf slowly, his expression was very vigilant, and when he approached a distance of a few meters from Mu Lan, he stopped and looked at everyone carefully.
"Who are you? When did you come to my house? ”
Mu Lan controlled her smile, trying to be polite and harmless, she said: "A few of us met for a hike and study, and we happened to pass by Guibao Land, and we just wanted to ask for a bowl of water and rest for a while. ”
"Study tour?" The farmer was stunned, "Come to a poor country like ours?" ”
It may be that Mu Lan and the others are young, and they don't look like some evil people, the farmer hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I haven't entertained guests in this ravine for many years, since I am passing by, then come and sit at my house." ”
"Thank you, uncle!" Lin Yiyi smiled sweetly.
......
Back at the farmhouse, where the farmer seemed to be the only one who lived alone, he was embarrassed to clean up a little bit of shame, and then brought a plate of taro-like things to the table, and filled the four broken porcelain bowls with water.
"I don't have much to entertain you here." The farmer smiled, "Don't be disgusted. ”
"No, no, no." Lin Yiyi immediately waved her hand, curiously picked up the piece of "taro", and smelled it.
"Which sect are you young master and young lady running out of?" The farmer looked at Mu Lan and the others, except for a strange style of clothes, these young people were all thin and tender, and they looked beautiful, not at all like a peasant like him who was busy making a living.
"We ......" Mu Lan followed the farmer's words and casually made up a reason, "It's true that we are hiding it from our family, we got lost in this mountain, and we happened to meet you." ”
Mu Lan glanced at everyone's clothes, and when she arrived at Yunfu Villa, she changed into a more classical temperament, and the families moved closer to the ancients in life, which may be related to this reincarnation world.
The farmer still had questions, and Mu Lan immediately rushed to say: "We are not familiar with the place, we don't even know where this place is, we want to go to the nearest city to replenish our supplies, if we don't meet you, I'm afraid we will have to stay in the wilderness." ”
A few of them had just arrived, and they didn't even know what the world was like, so Mu Lan could only pretend to be lost and see if she could get some words out of the farmer's mouth.
"This is Sanqing Mountain, and the nearest city is Bishui City." The farmer looked at Mu Lan puzzled, "Although this Blue Water City is not the most prosperous place in East Pole, it is already quite famous, don't you know about it?" Is it from overseas? ”
Zongmen, Sanqing Mountain, Bishui City, Dongji Prefecture, Mu Lan thought about these names, and did not show flaws on her face, but slowly looked at Zhao Ziyu.
"I really don't know about it, because we're from ......"
Zhao Ziyu pretended to be a cover-up tone and said: "Stop, we originally ran out secretly from the elders of the sect, don't reveal it to outsiders......"
The two sang and harmonized, creating the appearance of a young master and young lady who ran out of the sect for fun, and the tacit understanding of cooperation made Ah Feng shake his head and smile.
"Is it really from overseas? No wonder......" The farmer looked at the words and deeds of several people, made up a reasonable inference in his mind, and then pointed to the dry goods drying in the yard.
"It just so happens that I'm going to take a trip to Bishui City at noon, and if you want to enter the city, I'll take you with me."
