Chapter 246

  Mu Jiujiu wondered if there was any way to hide this, after all, she didn't want to be too conspicuous.

  "Most people don't recognize it, but my nose is very smart."

  The man smiled heartily: "Where are your relatives, maybe we will stop by." ”

  The other party was a little too enthusiastic, because something had happened before, and Mu Jiujiu now maintained a wait-and-see vigilance towards everyone.

  She smiled softly: "My relatives live a little far away, maybe we don't go by the way." ”

  This is the meaning of refusal, but the other party seems to be unaware, and said: "It's okay, I don't have a lot of things to do anyway, it's just that my father told me to go to a place, there is no way to be an old man, I don't listen to him and beat me, so I can only come here......"

  Due to the nature of his words, Mu Jiujiu was "forced" to know the other party's name, identity, and purpose of the trip.

  This demon's name is An Pingrun, and he was originally brought at home, but one day his father kicked him out and asked him to find a place that might have existed hundreds of years ago.

  "You mean, your father did it to fulfill his promise to others? Then why didn't he come himself? Mu Jiujiu's eyes widened.

  "He went to the Fuma realm with his mother, and his father meant that he was already old, and some things would be left to the next generation to do."

  It's really a very casual pair of parents, Mu Jiujiu thought to himself.

  The two crossed countless paths, and someone turned east and east to a secluded place, An Pingrun looked left and right, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that it was here, why didn't you see it?" ”

  "Do you have a map?" Mu Jiujiu asked.

  "Yes." An Pingrun took out a tattered yellowed scroll from his arms, and the handwriting and drawings on it were not readable clearly.

  He looked up carefully for a moment, and then said, "I'll just say, there's still some way to go...... By the way, aren't you looking for relatives, accompany me to find this place, and I won't delay your time? ”

  "It's okay, I guess my relatives won't mind if I'm late." Mu Jiujiu replied casually.

  For some reason, she was vaguely curious about the place they were going to find. At the moment, there is nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't hurt to go with him.

  At this moment, the sky has slowly cooled, the morning light is faint, they climbed the wall and climbed the tree, and finally came to a--

  A dilapidated dwelling.

  "Are you sure it's here?" Mu Jiujiu said suspiciously.

  "That's what it says on the map." An Pingrun glanced at the torn paper in his hand again, and as soon as the wind blew, the already somewhat fragmented map immediately fell apart.

  "Ahh My map—" An Pingrun immediately stretched out his hand, but the wind didn't know where the fragment had gone.

  Mu Jiujiu held his forehead and looked ahead.

  In front of him was obviously a deserted yard, overgrown with weeds outside, Mu Jiujiu took a few steps closer, tried to push the door in, only to hear a "crunch", the door opened, and the dust in the sky rushed in.

  Ahem.

  She covered her snort.

  "There is a strong spiritual power fluctuation left here, go in and take a look." Dan, who was squatting on the head of the wine, spoke.

  "Where's the sound?" An Pingrun looked left and right, and only then did he notice the stuffed beast on Mu Jiujiu's head, and exclaimed, "You spirit beast can still speak?" ”

  "Yes, the mutated flying golden rat, see you smile." Mu Jiujiu casually talked nonsense.

  An Pingrun chewed on this word seriously, thinking that he had never heard the name of this spirit beast. Sure enough, his father was right to let him out, he should still go to the world to see more, he is too lonely and unheard.

  Mu Jiujiu walked into the house with him, the furniture was covered with dust, and the inside was quite spacious, and after the two looked around, they didn't find anything unusual.

  The only thing worth paying attention to is that there is a painting in the study, and when I open it, I see that there are paintings of a man and a woman.

  The man is handsome and looks upright, and the woman's gaze is naturally a little romantic, which is just in the painting, you can feel the unique look of the other party.

  "Huh?"

  Mu Jiujiu muttered softly, she always felt that this woman's appearance seemed to be a little familiar, and she was about to take a closer look, but the painting in front of her suddenly disappeared, turning into countless powders and disappearing into the air.

  She and An Pingrun looked at each other.

  "Did your father tell you the purpose of coming here?"

  "I didn't elaborate, but it seems to have been mentioned on the premise......... He said that a long time ago, when my family was poor, hungry and gnawing on tree roots and thirsty for dew, I was helped by a man and woman in times of crisis and asked me to come and repay the favor, probably the owner of the house. ”

  "Your parents are a little interesting, the people you want to repay the favor have been dead for hundreds of years, who are you looking for to repay this kindness?"

  "I don't know, maybe it's his descendants?" An Pingrun speculated wildly.

  Mu Jiujiu looked at him speechlessly.

  She looked around and said, "Although this house is a little dusty, it can still be lived in after tidying up." ”

  "That's it, let's do it." An Pingrun rolled up his sleeves after speaking.

  What progress have I made, you ask? I started to be my own friend.
