Chapter 102: The Mountain Hut
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Lian and the others were just about to leave, when four horses suddenly rushed at the gate of the post station. As soon as Chun'er jumped off the horse and shouted "Miss", she ran into the yard.
Behind Chun'er are Xiao Zhaowen, Xiao Zhaoxiu and Xiao Zhaocan.
Xiao Lian's eyelids jumped: "Why are you here?" ”
Xiao Zhaowen shook off the snow on his body: "Big brother, let's go to the ghost domain with you." ”
Xiao Lian only felt that a certain tendon on his head jumped, and he was a little confused: "Does the mother know that you are coming out?" ”
Xiao Zhaowen said mysteriously: "We secretly came out of the mansion at night, and the concubine didn't know." ”
Xiao Lian was even more annoyed: "Nonsense! What do you think I'm traveling with a group?! ”
Xiao Zhaocang said solemnly: "Big brother, it is precisely because of the danger that we want to go with you. The four of us brothers should be in the same boat, life and death together. ”
Xiao Zhaocang is a small person, and he is always very old when he speaks. In Xiao Lian's opinion, it basically belongs to the category of reading and reading stupidly. Xiao Lian pointed at Xiao Zhaocan's forehead heavily: "The master only taught you life and death together, did he teach you to judge the situation and size up the situation?" What kind of place is the ghost realm, you should go to it when you say go? ”
Xiao Zhaocang was dissatisfied: "Big brother, I'm already eight years old, I practiced martial arts at the age of four, why can't I go?" Besides, do you know what kind of place the ghost domain is? You don't know it yourself, so how can you teach me a lesson? ”
Xiao Lian was dumb for a while, the stinky boy with his heart is not very old, and his mouth is very powerful.
Qi Zhen said enviously: "The brotherhood of the prince brother is really enviable." ”
Cao Jingzhao also persuaded: "Lord Wang, we don't know what the ghost domain is like, maybe there will be one more person and one more helper." ”
Xiao Lian looked at He Jingying helplessly. Who knew that Chun'er was sticking to He Jingying, and she was sticking tightly, looking like she was sworn to follow. He Jingying smiled helplessly. Xiao Lian had no choice but to take Xiao Zhaowen and them to set off together.
The tour group of the twelfth hurried all the way to Luliang County, Yizhou. Along the way, Xiao Lian experienced the hardships of being the head of the regiment. Along the way, for some reason, there was no one at several post stations, and the twelve had to continue all the way. When we arrived at the junction of Yizhou, it was already the right time. At this time, people are tired, and it is impossible to go any further.
He Jingying looked around, and if she walked further, she was about to enter the mountain, and after nightfall, there were many fierce beasts in the mountain, and she couldn't continue to walk at all. Only one room to the northwest seemed to have a fire in it. He Jingying pointed to the hut: "Why don't I go and take a look, if someone has a shed to rest for the night." ”
Xiao Lian said uneasily: "I'll accompany you." "Although the official road is taken along the way, but the road is sparsely populated, it is really strange to be alone in the mountains in such a room.
"Let's go together." Xiao Yan said slowly: "The mountain road here is narrow, and we should not be separated. ”
Although Xiao Lian hates Xiao Yan, what Xiao Yan said in this matter is not wrong. The beasts are okay, there are many of them, and ordinary beasts dare not come out. It's just that if there is an ambush, they have no way to retreat here.
Xiao Lian led the twelve people slowly from the path up the hill and walked towards the hut.
The sound of twelve men coming on horseback was not small, but when they reached the door of the hut, no one from the hut came out. The lights in the house are still on, and when the wind blows, it will shake and be surprisingly quiet.
"Anyone?" Xiao Lian asked loudly.
No one in the room answered, but there was a soft "pop".
Xiao Lianyu and He Jingying glanced at each other, and their hearts were worried.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound next to him. Xiao Yan reacted very quickly, and with a wave of his left hand, the sleeve arrow shot out along the sound. Then I heard a scream of "meow", and a black cat jumped away. The Hidden Arrow did not pierce the black cat, but it made a deep cut in the black cat's leg. The black cat rolled in pain, forgetting to run away, and only let out one scream after another.
An old woman came out of the back of the house and picked up the black cat in distress: "Why do you want to hurt my cat?" ”
He Jingying hurriedly apologized: "Grandma, we didn't know this was your cat, I'm sorry for hurting it by mistake." ”
The old woman looked up at He Jingying, hugged the black cat in her arms tighter, and her eyes flashed: "What are you doing here?" ”
He Jingying replied: "We are passers-by, and we didn't find a place to live along the way, so Grandma may make it convenient for us to rest for the night and drink saliva?" ”
The old woman avoided He Jingying's gaze and shook her head: "I can't stay, let's go." ”
"Grandma." Xiao Yan called. The old woman looked up. Xiao Yan threw out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and the old woman took it easily. "Your cat is poisoned, here's the antidote."
The old woman took the small porcelain vase, thought for a while, and pointed to the wooden house with no light in the east: "There is no one in the house over there, you go and squeeze there." Then he pointed to the room with the light on: "This is where I live, don't disturb me." If you want water to drink, go to the well and fetch it yourself. ”
After that, the old woman walked to the house with the cat in her arms, and suddenly paused before entering the house, and then turned around and said, "You rich and noble families, I'm afraid you can't get used to drinking the well water here." As he spoke, he opened the door through a small crack just large enough for one person to pass through, and walked in by himself.
Xiao Lian walked to the east room and lit the lights in the house. The room was simple, but it was very clean, with beds and bedding.
Xiao Zhaowen tied the horses outside the courtyard, walked to the well, picked up the bucket and fetched a bucket of water. After running for a day, he was really thirsty, Xiao Zhaowen wanted to take a sip of the water scoop, but his hand was caught by Xiao Lian.
Xiao Zhaowen looked at Xiao Lian puzzled, and shook his head when he saw Xiao Lian frowning. Xiao Zhaowen casually put the water scoop back into the bucket and carried the bucket of water to wash the horse.
Twelve people were crammed into the small wooden house, which added some heat to the otherwise cold wooden house.
Yuan Geyu chattered all the way, and as soon as she arrived at the wooden house, her whole person changed, and she sat in the house with no energy.
Xiao Zilun worried: "Concubine, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yuan Geyu shook her head: "It's just a little tired." ”
Xiao Lian walked back to the house and brought back some hay: "We will leave for one night and early tomorrow morning." There is a town not far ahead, and tomorrow we will rest and then go to Luliang. ”
He Jingying whispered to Xiao Lian: "Be careful of the ghost-faced Langjun. Looking at the skills of the ghost-faced Lang Jun, he is definitely not the same person as the one I met in the mass grave. ”
The ghost-faced Langjun on the mass grave was not even as good as Jingying, and the ghost-faced Langjun shot out
Xiao Lian walked outside the door and saw that Xiao Yan had already found a clean place outside the door to sit down, and Xiao Zhaoxiu was also standing on the side.
Xiao Yan saw Xiao Lian coming and said, "Lord Wang, you go back and rest first, I'll stay and keep vigil." ”
Xiao Lian said coldly: "It's too quiet tonight, it's better to have one more person to guard." ”
Xiao Yan raised his head and said, "The prince can't trust me?" ”
Xiao Lian didn't bother to look at Xiao Yan, and said bluntly: "I can't believe it." ”
Xiao Yan smiled: "It seems that the prince will not treat me as a friend anymore." But tonight, we'll probably have to fight side by side. ”
