Chapter 20: The Strange Thing in Sanshi Village (Part I)
Lan Feng and his group of five people rushed to Sanshi Village before the scheduled time, as soon as they got off the carriage, Ding Lin blinked his big eyes, looking east and west, as if he had never seen the outside world, and this is exactly the case, Ding Lin's living conditions have always been very superior, from the Ding family in Yanzhou to the city lord's mansion, they are still rich in life, so that they rarely come out to walk around, and now Lan Feng probably understands what it means to take care of her, don't look at her appearance is very hot, in fact, her heart is a blank piece of paper.
"How could such a thing happen?"
"Yes, have you identified the wound?"
"It's been confirmed, it's a snake bite, fortunately it's not poisonous, otherwise this kid would..."
"What snake? Isn't it the snake that our ancestors said they were back?"
As soon as I entered the entrance of the village, I heard people talking everywhere, probably about who had been bitten by a snake.
"Isn't it just a snake bite? what's the big deal, and it didn't poison people, as for it?" Bu Xiuying muttered quietly.
"Have you forgotten what we said on the road?" Ding Jun said.
"Yes, every household in Sanshi Village has a part of the soul of the Ice Heart Snake King, and for spirit beasts, snakes can sense the kind of coercion that originates from the bloodline, and generally will not appear in the village. Lan Feng added.
"Maybe it's been too long, and the soul of the Snake King has dissipated? ”
"It's not impossible, let's go and ask, and find a place to stay by the way. ”
Lan Feng and a few people sat down in a teahouse, and there were more people around, but there was only one thing they discussed, that is, a person named Liu Laoshi in the village was bitten by a snake.
"A few little brothers, are you passing by! Come on, come on, drink tea. A young man in a coarse cloth jacket greeted, "It's getting late, do you want to stay with us tonight?" Because there are often guests passing by here, several villagers have built a place to stay together, and one gold coin per person is also quite affordable, compared to planting grain and herbs in the village or going to mining or something to make more money, not that those things are not valuable, but they are backed by the mountains, and the front is too far away from the big city, it is difficult to find a market.
"Yes, shopkeeper, give us five rooms, we're going to rest here tonight for the night and go into the mountains tomorrow. ”
"I'm sorry! I'm afraid you also know, isn't it about to be the imperial trial, there are a lot of guests who have come and gone recently, all of them are going to the capital of the empire, and there are only two rooms left today, look..."
"How about two rooms? Why don't you four live in one? Ding Lin frowned and said unhappily.
"Two are just two! These are five gold coins, and please prepare some food for us. Lan Feng stretched out his hand and handed over another one.
"Okay, okay, everyone go upstairs and turn right to the end, the last two are the last two, I will have someone prepare the food immediately, and I will send it to you later." ”
Lan Feng and the others didn't inquire about anything more, it was better to have more things than one less thing along the way, and it was important to rush to the emperor.
After going upstairs, Ding Lin picked a room to go into, and the few of them could only shake their heads and squeeze together.
"Brother Lan, come here, I have something to tell you. Ding Lin showed his head.
Lan Feng motioned for them to rest first, and then went to Ding Lin's room.
"Blue... Brother Lan..."Ding Lin was hesitant.
"What's the matter, tell me something. Lan Feng reassured.
"Brother Lan, you promised your father to take care of me, right?"
"Yes, I promised the city lord that he would take good care of you. ”
"Can you..."
"What can you say, you said!" Lan Feng was almost speechless, he was very arrogant when he competed in martial arts before, he looked very arrogant and dry, why did he look like a child now.
"Can you share a room with me at night?"
"Ahh
"No, my dad accompanies me at home, and I'm scared to sleep alone. As he spoke, tears began to fall.
"I see. Lan Feng took out a handkerchief from his arms, a blue flower on it, and wiped his tears for Ding Lin, after all, he was just a fifteen-year-old child, and he was pampered, I don't know how the city lord could rest assured that she came out, "Don't worry, I'll keep it, don't cry, after a while, your brother Ding Jun will think I'm bullying you!"
Ding Lin quickly burst into tears and laughed, and at the same time, the store also sent something to eat. Gradually, in the dead of night, there was no noise outside, and the lights and sounds were turned off in the inn.
Because Ding Lin was afraid, Lan Feng meditated directly at the table, probably all the way, Lan Feng actually felt a little tired, and fell asleep on the table unconsciously.
Until the noise outside the window woke him up. He looked out through the window, the sky was only slightly bright, a group of people pointed around a big stone, an old man on crutches said something, two people ran out, Lan Feng didn't listen carefully, otherwise he was already a double spirit, it was actually very simple to hear what they said, at this moment, he still had the attitude that more things were better than less, and he took Ding Lin and a few people away at dawn.
It's just that the quarrel outside is getting more and more intense, and Lan Feng subconsciously listens carefully.
"Village chief, look at this, the snakes have crawled here. ”
"Yes, village chief, I have one at home. ”
"I have snakes in my yard. ”
The old village chief listened to their noisy noise, just to say one thing, that is, the matter in front of him, the huge stone that Lan Feng saw was actually a water tank, and there was a two-meter-long snake coiled under the water tank, a village of snakes that had not been seen for hundreds of years, at first it was just that someone was bitten, but now the snakes have crawled into their house, but there is one thing they are also very strange, that is, these snakes just crawled into their house, and then they became extremely weak and not aggressive.
"Report to the village chief, I went door-to-door to inquire, and basically every house has snakes crawling into the yard, but the situation is basically the same, just very weak. "The one who spoke was one of the people who had gone before.
"Village chief, something is wrong. The other man came all the way, "Village Chief, there is a crack in the sky on the way into the mountain, and there is hot magma underneath! And the cracked place was full of snakes, snakes in the same state as we have here. ”
"Hey, what a sin!" Second Brother, hurry up and inform the guests that they can't enter the mountain for the time being, let them wait patiently, or go by water!" said the old village chief helplessly.
Lan Feng closed the window, it seems that he is really worried about what is coming, it will definitely be too late to take the waterway, the Qingyang Mountain Range behind this is connected to Qingyang City, it only takes half a month to go from Qingyang City to the imperial capital, and it is possible to rent a carriage, and it will probably take more than two months to go to Qingyang City by water. In this case, we can only go and see what happens.
