Chapter Eighty-Five: Night Exploration of the Hunting House
I had to look back at Grandpa Xiao suspiciously, the old man couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and he came to the front a few steps and pushed away one of the wild grasses.
"There used to be a road here, which the thieves used to take when they came here, but then they probably didn't bother to get this unprofitable village, and the road slowly became a little deserted. But this is only on the surface, in fact, the grass on both sides has grown taller, and the mountain road here is hidden, but if you want to walk, you can still pass. The people who live in our village know it, but they don't know it to outsiders who are not familiar with this place. ”
"I see,"
Wang Yu looked at the wild grass, and then looked at Grandpa Xiao,
"However, the specific direction of that road, I hope you ...... old man."
"Here it is,"
The old man carried a lamp in one hand and opened the artemisia grass road in front of him with the other.
"Come and have a look."
Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu hurriedly walked over to take a look, and sure enough, they saw the mountain road that was submerged in barren grass, but it was actually quite wide.
Glancing at each other, Zong Jiyuan looked up at the sky, and hugged his fist at Grandpa Xiao,
"Old man, it's getting late, and we'll take the rest of the way by ourselves, so you'd better go back and rest early."
"This ......"
The old man glanced at the two of them, hesitated slightly, but still made up his mind, and said,
"It's not bad for such a while, I'll send you over, otherwise, this black light is blind, if you are not careful, there is a slight deviation, and you will completely go the wrong way in this mountain, and even lose your way."
"Well, that's ...... too."
Zong Jiyuan thought that what Grandpa Xiao said was indeed like this, and that would really be very troublesome, so he was no longer polite and said,
"In this way, it will bother your old man."
"You're welcome, let's go."
While talking, Grandpa Xiao led the way in front of him with a horse lantern, and Zong Jiyuan and the others followed, removing the obstacles in front of them and moving forward along the winding mountain road.
It was not very far away, about half a mile away, and the dense artemisia grass on both sides gradually ceased to block the line of sight, and after walking for a while, there was only a smooth dirt road left, leading to the mountain pass, Grandpa Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the front,
"Go in this direction, and you will be in Vasher, where the thieves have been mentioned. However, you have to be careful if you go further, there may not be their guards anywhere, and I can only send you here, little old man. ”
"Thank you Grandpa Xiao, you have to be more careful on the way back."
Zong Ji Yuan saluted him.
Grandpa Xiao glanced at the two of them and said with a wry smile,
"Well, I'm nothing, it's you two who should be more careful, I hope that when the morning dawns, I will return to my little courtyard safely."
"There will be a date later."
Without saying anything more, Zong Jiyuan turned around and walked down the path pointed out by the old man with Wang Yu.
Sure enough, there was no fork in the road this time, until the light was visible in the distance.
"Grandpa Xiao said that those thieves will leave guards in the dark, and you and I should keep some gods."
Wang Yu suddenly whispered.
It was rare for him to be cautious, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but laugh and said,
"And what do you say you should do?"
"If you want me to say, block your face first,"
While speaking, Wang Yubian took out two green gauze scarves as if by magic, and said,
"Especially your beautiful snow-white face, if you don't cover it up, you won't be discovered all at once."
"But this ......"
Holding the green yarn stuffed by the other party in his hand, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but cry and laugh a little,
"No matter how you look at this, it seems like we are thieves."
"You have to use whatever means you use against whomever you want, don't you?"
Wang Yubian covered his face with the green veil he kept, tied it, and said,
"To deal with those thieves, we must also use the methods of thieves. Hey, how's it going, how does it look and feel after I cover my face? ”
"How else, it's like a thief at all,"
Zong Jiyuan also helplessly followed his example, covered the green yarn, and said jokingly,
"I wondered, how can you be so skilled in these things about thieves?"
"Of course, don't forget what I do, as a dart master who walks the rivers and lakes......"
Wang Yu moved out his "dart master theory" again.
Zong Jiyuan listened, and quickly waved his hand,
"Okay, I know you're a qualified dart master, so don't talk about your reasoning."
The two men were bickering with each other as they walked forward, and soon a separate courtyard on a high slope flashed in front of them. Closer you can clearly hear the shouts of punching and shouting and loud laughter coming from inside.
When I got here, I naturally couldn't make a sound anymore, Zongji Yuan Dynasty Wang Yu signaled, and the two of them disappeared, quietly left and right, and came to both sides of the courtyard gate. Wang Yuchao pointed to himself and then to the courtyard, and Zong Jiyuan nodded lightly at him.
Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Wang Yu gently walked around the courtyard wall, jumped up, and carefully observed in the courtyard. I saw two thieves sitting on the inside of the courtyard gate, chatting about something, but there were no guards elsewhere, so they swept up the roof of the tiled house along the courtyard wall, and listened to the movement below.
But it sounded, he couldn't hear anything useful at all, and he was thinking about going back to the courtyard gate, and then he would find a way, when he suddenly felt movement behind him, and then he was patted on the shoulder, and before he had time to be surprised, Zong Jiyuan's voice had already come from behind him,
"It doesn't seem like there's much here, let's go look elsewhere."
"Uh......"
Wang Yu was so angry and funny that she couldn't make a loud noise, so she had to swallow her anger and return to the outside of the courtyard wall with her.
"Didn't I tell you to stay outside, why did you come with me? It also scared the hell out of me. ”
"No,"
Zong Jiyuan looked dazed and said,
"I just saw you just pointing inside, indicating that you want to go in, and you didn't make a gesture for me to wait outside."
"I mean, when I enter the courtyard, I naturally let you guard the door, so that the miles and the outside can cooperate with each other."
Wang Yu really couldn't laugh or cry.
Zong Jiyuan looked at him with a really angry and anxious look, and couldn't help but smile proudly,
"Of course I understand what you said, but I just want to tease you."
"Tease, tease me......"
Wang Yu really didn't know whether to be angry or laughing.
And Zong Jiyuan didn't wait for him to say anything more, so he interrupted his words and said,
"I was guarding the door just now, and I heard the two thieves in the door say that Wei Xingyin received some news during the day and had gone to the main house in front."
