Volume 5 The Curse of the Old Village_Chapter 316 Good Guy or Bad Guy
"Blood Fountain? Is this the Fountain of Blood? ”
After listening to this man's words, I realized that I had run into this blood fountain by mistake with Fat Dahai. In this way, the Blood Spring eggs that Xu Changhe gave us were boiled with the water here.
Thinking of this unknown creature that can gnaw wooden paddles underwater, although I can't see it clearly, it must have something to do with that kind of clam.
I haven't figured out the identity of the man who is holding the boat, but from what he said, I can hear that he seems to know a lot about the guard.
At this time, he held the bamboo wormwood in his hand and propped up the boat he was driving as fast as he could.
I couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, you didn't mean to harm us just now, but after we got off, the carriage clearly fell off the cliff?" ”
The man glanced at me: "Nonsense, if you don't get out of the car, the car won't fall off the cliff." But you listened to that dead girl, and I lost a good horse. Maybe it's fate, I hope you can survive this catastrophe. Take my words to heart, and when you go back, act as if nothing happened. Also, if you have the chance, you can go to the village and find a person named Wang Po. Maybe there, you can get the answers you want. ”
"Lady Wang?" When I heard this title, the first thing I thought of was the princess who matched Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing in "Water Margin". So I haven't seen this person yet, but I have a very bad impression.
"Then how can you find the princess?" Although the first impression was not good, when this man mentioned it, I still asked.
The man shook his head: "I've been away from the village for too long, and I don't know where this princess lives now. But this princess likes to drink, and if you can find her and give her this, she should be able to help you. ”
So saying, the man leaned down, opened a small door in the cabin, and took out from it a jar of wine, the mouth of which was sealed with mud, and it looked like a jar of old wine.
The fat man took the wine jar and asked, "Big brother, are you also from this village?" Can you take us back then? ”
A conversation with this man, it seems that he is not as vicious as he looks, and on the contrary, he thinks about us everywhere. So Fat Dahai and I probably wondered if we were wrong to blame him. Hostility towards him was also greatly reduced.
At this time, the small boat driven by the man suddenly passed through a curtain of water. It turned out that before we knew it, he had already led us back the same way.
Passing through the water curtain, the man looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "I used to be a mountain guard, but even if I die, I don't want to go back to that place." ”
"What do you call that big brother?" Fat Dahai asked.
The man shook his head: "My name is insignificant, and you don't need to know my name." If you know, it will cause you problems. If only you believed that I wouldn't harm you. ”
As we spoke, the boat had sailed back to its original course, only this time we were swimming against the current. However, the man's skill in holding the boat is very clever, although it is a boat against the current, but the speed is not slow. Soon he propped up the boat
When he got to the shore, he pointed to the river bank and said, "Hold the wine and hurry back to your lodgings." Whoever asks, don't talk about the Blood Fountain. ”
After the man finished speaking, before we could reply, he tapped the bamboo artemisia on the shore a few times, and the boat left the bank with a slump, and turned around and headed downstream.
I looked at Fat Dahai and I looked at each other, and the appearance of this man once again changed my perception of the people here. What we thought was a wicked person has suddenly become our savior. According to his words, if he hadn't dealt with the two people on the boat, the two of us would have been discovered, and then we would have been dead.
Here, it seems difficult to define a person, it is difficult to say whether he is a good person or a bad person.
Fat Dahai hugged the wine jar, and the two of us hurried back along the way we came.
When we entered the village, we found that there were many villagers gathered in the village. One by one, they have become much more active, as we have seen before. They walked freely, and everyone's face was bright.
What is certain is that the villagers in this village are all one attribute, that is, they are old during the day, and the whole village is like a village in the twilight. Once the moon rises, the villagers are reborn and the village is much younger.
It's a huge mystery that makes me and Fat Sea very puzzling. But we didn't dare to try to solve the mystery, so we tried to avoid the villagers, and we managed to make it back to the back wall of our house.
That's what we climbed out of that wall.
Fortunately, at this time, the street facing the back wall was empty.
We did the same, Fat Sea crouched on the ground, and I just stepped on his shoulder. I heard a cough behind me.
I shuddered and hurriedly looked back.
It turned out that I don't know when there was one more person behind me. The man looked at me with a lantern in his hand and a smile.
The person who came was wearing a red robe, and it turned out to be the person named Xu Laogou.
The impression he gave me was the exchange between him and Xu Meilu at the dinner table. Other than that, he didn't have a positive verbal exchange with me, let alone any conflict.
I didn't expect us to sneak back and be discovered by him.
I was a little dumbfounded and looked at him speechless.
Xu Laogou stared at me and Fat Dahai, and asked coldly, "You guys...... Out? ”
I was unprepared for this, so I could only reply, "Ah, we are both in the house in a panic, and we are out for a walk." ”
This is a funnel answer, and I regret it after I finished speaking. This is obviously lying, is there a wall to be distracted? It's better not to say it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Laogou didn't ask deeply, but just waved his hand: "It's best not to come out at night, go back quickly, the patrol will come over in a while." ”
As he spoke, Xu Laogou carried the lantern, turned his back and walked away step by step.
The two of us didn't dare to slack off, so we hurriedly used our hands and feet together, and each climbed into the wall. We also brought in the jar of wine.
We went back to the front room, the one that was hanging
The heart just touched the ground slightly.
Fat Dahai scratched his head and said, "Boss, the people here are so weird." That old dog Xu, he didn't embarrass us when he saw us. The two of us climbed over the wall and went out, obviously weird. ”
I nodded: "When the five of them gathered together, they showed an attitude. But when they dispersed, it seemed like they were all trying to please me. They definitely wanted something out of me. ”
"What can you have?"
"This." As I spoke, I pulled out the five black stones on my body.
