On the other side, Chu Jingxiang forgot to bring a torch when she left, and she couldn't see the road ahead, so she kept groping her way forward and walked to a position where she could see the light, and Youyoule had already gone out for a while.

You Youle walked out of the dark passage, and saw a small courtyard in front of it, the walls of the courtyard were covered with maple vines, and the vines extended along the courtyard wall to the outside, You Youle walked along the vines and found that there was a stone ladder leading to the top in front.

You Yule walked up the steps, and at the end of the stone steps there was a small pavilion that connected to the path to the top of the mountain, and the light shone right on a small pavilion, and when You Yule looked up, there seemed to be a person standing in the small pavilion.

Seeing someone in front of me, Youyoule wanted to go over to say hello, ask how to go on the road ahead, just walked into the small pavilion, Youyoule felt that it was wrong, he shouldn't have asked that, he is likely to be the owner here, I took the liberty of entering someone else's territory, I should apologize first, and this should be an annex to the princess castle, I can't enter without someone else's permission.

Youyoule straightened his body, and said in his heart: These days with Chu Jingxiang, I have learned a lot of her arrogant and unreasonable mistakes, I have to change it well, I can't let others look down on it, thinking of this, Youyoule came behind the man, and saw that he was hunched over, with a rickety figure, it should be an old gentleman, Youyoule bowed first, and said: "Old gentleman, forgive me for taking the liberty of entering this place with my partner and causing you trouble." ”

You Youle raised his head, seeing that the old gentleman didn't turn around, and didn't seem to hear him speak, You Youle had a little more reluctant smile on his face, took a step forward, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and asked loudly: "Old gentleman......"

In the middle of speaking, Youyoule suddenly stopped, and he saw the old man's side face...... There are no ears, not only no ears, the old gentleman turned his face, he had no face at all!

You Youle thought it was dazzled, took a few steps back, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Did you hit a ghost today?" ”

The old gentleman without a face seemed to be able to see Youyoule, and walked a few steps towards him, as if looking at him, the two were stunned for a few minutes, and the old gentleman nodded and motioned for Youyoule to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion.

Youyoule originally wanted to run away immediately, but seeing that the old gentleman had no intention of attacking, he sat down and saw what he wanted to do next.

Stunned for a while, Youyoule didn't know if this old gentleman was looking at him, and Youyoule was still wondering at this time, this person didn't have seven tricks, how to talk to him?

The old gentleman stretched out his hand, put his fingers on the stone table next to him and pulled them up, it looked like he was writing, You Youle moved his body, and saw that his hand was only three fingers, could it be that he was with those weirdos? But those weirdos are very tall, why is this old gentleman so short?

The old gentleman scratched on the stone table for a long time and didn't understand what he was going to do, the whole process was paying attention to his only three fingers, you Youle saw the old gentleman on the stone table and kept drawing, and he didn't know what he was finishing, so he wanted to quietly pull away, but he didn't take a step and was pulled by the old gentleman, the old gentleman grabbed his wrist, spread out his palm, and used a thick and flat spoon-like finger to draw up in the palm of Youyoule, You Youle didn't know what he meant at first, Only later did he realize that he could not speak, so he wrote in the palm of his hand.

The old gentleman wrote: "I am the old housekeeper here, outsiders are not allowed to trespass here at will, where are you from?" ”

You Youle looked at his palm, thought for a while, and wrote on the palm of the old housekeeper: "We are from a distant land, I want to ask you about two things, one is the legendary herbs that can purify people's bodies, and the other is to hope to get the news of the loss of the emperor, I don't know if you have heard of it......"

The old butler straightened the awkward tie in front of him and wrote, "The stakes are high! ”

After writing, the old housekeeper left the pavilion and walked along the pavilion to the top, Youyoule followed the old housekeeper all the way up, almost to the top of the mountain, the old housekeeper stopped, pointed to a huge iron pillar, and wrote in Youyoule's hand: "Are you willing to collect emperors all over the world for Her Royal Highness the Princess, gather the heroes of the world, and recreate the glory of the Augustan Dynasty?" ”

This matter is really important, but what does this have to do with the huge stone pillar, You Youle didn't understand, and wrote in the hands of the old butler: "It's difficult for me to do this." ”

The two of them compared for a while, and You Youle generally knew that this stone pillar should have something to do with the emperor, and at this time, there was also a sound of footsteps under the stone stairs, it was Chu Jingxiang and they came up, You Youle was afraid of a misunderstanding, so he wrote two words in the hands of the old housekeeper: Friend, hurriedly went down to welcome Chu Jingxiang.

Chu Jingxiang was very worried about the safety of Youyoule, and climbed the stairs all the way, almost to the top of the mountain, and Youyoule came down, Chu Jingxiang didn't look at Youyoule, but was the first to notice the faceless strange man, and said loudly: "It's that weird person on the top of the mountain!" ”

You Youle said: "No, no, he is the old butler here, we can't be rude to him." ”

At this time, Nie Xiaosheng and Tang Wu also arrived, and Chu Jingxiang asked, "Why is he the old housekeeper?" No matter how I look at him, he looks like a monster! ”

Youyoule explained: "This is for a reason, I just chatted with the old housekeeper for a while, he can't hear, can't see, can't speak, but the sense of touch is very keen, we write and talk in the palm of the other party's hand, the old housekeeper said that he is a noodle person, and the fingerprint means handprints." ”

Chu Jingxiang said in surprise: "Is there still this race in the world? I've never heard of it. ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "I haven't heard of it either, it shouldn't be Shufang's race." ”

You Youle said: "Of course not, although the old butler does not know the specific origin of him and the four brothers, but there is an ancient rumor, when Augustus destroyed the country, the old king cut off his five fingers and ordered the first national teacher in the country to change the rootless fingers into a human form, and the old king made these five fingers become the princess's servants, and he will always protect his daughter." ”

Nie Xiaosheng suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that the strange man we met in the house is also a finger, and I have also heard of this legend, but I didn't expect this very evil rumor to be true!" ”

Chu Jingxiang asked, "Did you ask him about the emperor?" ”

You Youle nodded, took Chu Jingxiang to the top of the mountain, pointed to the big pillar, and said, "That's what the old housekeeper said just now, this thing seems to be related to the emperor." ”
