Yan Hong and Chu Xia glanced at Ning Ming, Ning Ming shook his head and smiled, and walked in first, in fact, he also wanted to see what had become of this place after not coming back for so many years.

In the small courtyard, there is a tall locust tree, but it has long since died, leaving only a dry trunk, but at the bottom of the locust tree, there is a circle of delicate small stones, and the soil is also very moist, and it is expected that it is often watered.

Under the locust tree, there is an old stone table, on which there are clearly visible cracks, I am really worried, a little force, it will completely crack.

A few small houses, not big or small, have a taste of their own, but it's a pity that they are too old and lack that charm.

The man pointed to the stone table, "You sit down first, I'll go get water." ”

Ning Ming stood in the courtyard, looking at everything that was once familiar around him, but at this time it was like a world away, once he sat under the tree, smelling the flowers, drinking tea, and listening to the people who came and went to tell interesting anecdotes.

Now, he's gone, the trees are dead, and the stone table is shattered.

"Ning Ming, who is he?" Yan Hong watched the man enter the room before asking in a low voice.

"Didn't you hear it just now, he's Ning Ming."

"Cut!" Ning Ming was obviously perfunctory to her, and said with a pout, "If you don't say it, I'll ask directly later." ”

Ning Ming smiled and stepped forward to pat the dry tree trunk.

The man walked out, holding a clean teapot and a few porcelain bowls, and placed them on the stone table, "The humble house is simple, you are free." ”

"Excuse me," Lin Shuanghua said politely, "Dare to ask how long has Mr. lived here?" ”

"How long?" The man seemed to be counting the time, poured a bowl full of water, and shook his head, "It's been too long, I've forgotten." ”

"Are you alone in this town?" Yan Hong asked eagerly.

"Yes," said the man, who had nothing to hide, "it used to be a lively place, with people coming and going, and I had many friends, but at last as the water in the earth decreased, more and more people moved away, and never returned." ”

"Move out?" Hatsu asked, "Really none of them came back?" ”

"No," the man laughed, "I have a good friend named Liju, who often comes back to see me. ”

"Calendar pot?" Ye Qing was puzzled, "People from the Yan Kingdom? ”

"Haha," the man laughed and looked at Ye Qing, "This girl is asking a strange question, naturally she is from the Yan Kingdom, could it be that there are outsiders in this desert." ”

Hearing this, Ning Ming closed his eyes and stood in front of the locust tree without moving.

Chu Xia glanced at the clear water in the bowl, hesitated, but still took a small sip, and suddenly spit out violently, exclaiming, "Blood!" ”

Lin Shuanghua and everyone saw that the clear water in the bowl, after being spit out by early summer, fell to the ground and turned into bright red blood!

This!

When the man saw this, there was nothing abnormal, "Don't panic, it's not blood, it's the water here, that's it." ”

The bright red color, the strong smell of blood, it is impossible not to admit that it is blood.

At this time, Yan Hong and the others looked at this man, although his smile was similar to Ning Ming's, but at this time, it seemed that this man was full of weirdness, as if the person in front of him was not a person, but a ghost!

"Sir, you've been here all along?"

"yes, I've always lived here."

"Haven't been anywhere else?"

"Somewhere else?" The man thought for a moment, "Not long ago, I went to the city to buy medicine, and I saw that many people were building a tall stone gate. ”

Lin Shuanghua was shocked, not long ago? The stone gate that was built?

When the hell is this person?!

Could it be that this person has been in this courtyard for so many years, and has never stepped far, and the farthest place is only in front of the stone gate, and in the face of the empty town, he only thinks that everyone has moved away for water.

This man is full of mysteries, but he doesn't know where to start.

"Dare to ask sir, his real name is Ning Ming?" Lin Shuanghua still thinks that he should confirm it.

"Yes, my name is Ning Ming, and I am not from this desert country," the man said, "I am from the Central Plains, and I will leave after a few days here." ”

How many days?

Did you know that you have been here for thousands of years?

Do you know what has become of the outside now, do you know that there is no such country as the country of Ja now?

Wait a minute!

Stay for a few days, just now I was still talking about living here for a long time, but at this time I said that I was just staying for a few days and leaving, which is obviously inconsistent, and this person seems to have a logical problem.

Ning Ming was still standing in front of the locust tree, not moving.

"Ning Ming, can you tell us about this country." Chengshan glanced at Ning Ming next to the locust tree and asked the man.

"Yes, the kingdom of Yan used to be one," the man was about to say when there were a few knocks on the door.

Lin Shuanghua and the others instinctively looked nervous, in this strange town, Ning Ming's residence that suddenly appeared and Ning Ming, who was full of evil, there was a knock on the door in the empty town at this time.

The man smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's definitely the Liju here, and we have an appointment to drink today." ”

Calendar pot? The people of the kingdom?

The man got up and opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, there was a person standing outside, smiling slightly, and shaking the wine jar in his hand, "Is it enough?" ”

"Haha, that's enough, I've always been very bad at drinking," the man welcomed warmly and let the calendar pot in, "It just so happens that today, a few passers-by are resting at my place to drink, and we can be together." ”

Liju walked in, looked around at Lin Shuanghua and everyone, and finally stopped on Ning Ming next to the locust tree, and smiled slightly, "Everyone, do you want to eat?" ”

Lin Shuanghua and the others looked at a calendar pot, this person is definitely not like a man, but a person of thousands of years, because of the famous brand, obviously with a modern atmosphere of conversation and demeanor, this is a modern person!

A modern-day man of the kingdom of Yan!

Is it the same as the old man before him?

The man looked very happy, probably because there had never been so many people together, he took the jar of the wine, eagerly opened it, and smelled it, "Good wine!" ”

"It's nature, spirits, be careful." Liju smiled, but his smile was a little stiff.

"I'm measured," the man took a careful sip, and then coughed, and his tears came out, "What kind of wine is this, so spicy." ”

"It's an interesting name, Dream Three Years."

"Haha, it's really interesting," the man took another small sip carefully, and immediately his face turned red, and he was already drunk, and after a few sips, he said drunkenly, "Do you know, I have always had a dream, that is, to have my own antique shop, I have thought of the name, Gu Ling Zhai!" How, it's good, haha, when my little shop opens, all of you will come, no one is missing, and you, Liju! The man patted Liju's shoulder, "You guy, you always run away for three days without moving, don't worry, I will definitely wait for the day you come back to open, and I will get drunk with you for three days and three nights." ”

The man said to himself, not noticing that no one else was drinking except him.
