Chapter 167: Overnight stay
Just at Du Zifeng's set of skills in the woods, he knew that this person was not an ordinary person. Such a person has been lurking in the Tao family for so many years, what is it for?
Is it for money? According to Tao Zhihuan, General Tao was more of a close friend than a master and servant with him, and the Tao family was not very rich, so he was not hired with a lot of money, and it was really unconvincing to say that he was for money.
If it was for the sake of the Blood Rock Furnace, it was not like that, with his old calculations and familiarity with the Tao family, there must have been countless opportunities to obtain the Blood Rock Furnace over the years, but he didn't do that.
But if he has any friendship with the Tao family, it is absolutely impossible, otherwise he would not have betrayed the news to various forces immediately after the decline of the Tao family, and he also drugged General Tao, causing such a tragedy!
At that time, I got rid of the chasing soldiers he arranged in Xiping Town, and deliberately provoked a conflict between the Youzhou Department and the Duying Regiment, and afterwards he was also in the Youzhou Department and couldn't end up with anything, and he had a grudge against me, and it was understandable that he wanted to teach me a lesson, but he obviously didn't fall into any disadvantage, and he fled halfway through.
What puzzles me the most is that he seems to have deliberately told me the secret of the Tao family's annihilation, if he doesn't say this, I'm afraid no one will ever know what's going on, what's the benefit to him?
I pondered all the way, but I still couldn't figure it out.
Back in town and after a brief rest, we set off again. On the evening of the third day, it entered the eastern Liaoning region, which is now the Liaoning area.
At this time, it is already the middle of September, compared to the dry North China, the Northeast has entered the wet rainy season, and every time it rains, the weather becomes cooler, but for me, who is used to this climate, this is the most comfortable time of the year, and I feel as if my lungs have been thoroughly cleansed, comfortable and comfortable.
But compared with the prosperous Central Plains, this area is much more deserted, and it is rare to see prosperous towns, even small villages, and it is not easy to find some supplies.
Just like this day, until it got dark, there were still no villages and towns in sight.
"Looks like we're going to be sleeping out again tonight." I turned back to the two girls and said, "The road is so slippery, and it's too unsafe to ride a novice car on this kind of road." ”
Because I was injured in my hand, Wang Shaoting drove me in the past two days, so I stepped on him by the way.
"I don't think so." But he said so.
I thought he wanted to say that he was good at driving, and I was about to make a joke with him, but he pointed forward and said, "Look, there's a house there." ”
Oh? I fixed my eyes on the front and really saw that there seemed to be a house not far ahead, and I was pleasantly surprised: "Great, the air is so humid, maybe it will rain at night, it's great that you don't have to sleep open!" ”
As we approached the building, we realized that it was not a village house, but a small temple.
It is said that the temple is regarded as lifting it, the gate has been crooked, the walls are mottled, the tiles have peeled off a lot, and even the statue of Guanyin in the temple is full of dust, and it is a ruined temple.
It's better than nothing, no matter how shabby it is, it can keep out the wind and rain, and we have to make do with it here for the night.
Luckily, I don't know if the passers-by who stayed overnight left a lot of hay and firewood, just enough for us to make a fire and make a bed.
Living in this kind of place, of course, you can't live in an inn as casually as before, Wang Shaoting and I proposed to take turns keeping vigil, he was on duty in the first half of the night, and changed me in the second half of the night.
In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a thunderclap, and when I opened my eyes, I didn't know when it was raining outside.
"It's a rainy night, it's the perfect weather for some wine." I sat up and whispered to Wang Shaoting.
"yes." He nodded.
"I remember you drank a lot of alcohol, how did you get it?" I heard that the little white faces are more able to drink, and Wang Shaoting is also a typical one.
"I haven't practiced, I was born." He said lightly.
"Pretend to be you." I laughed.
"Really, when it comes to drinking, practice can play a little role, but most of it is still innate. I'm just not drunk, but I don't know much about alcohol, so I can't taste good or bad. But he said seriously.
"Yes, it's because I'm not sensitive to it that I can drink it."
Chatting in a whisper, I turned my head to look at the two girls, who were curled up in the grass stomping not far away and sleeping soundly.
"Okay, you can sleep for a while, and I'll leave it to me in the middle of the night." I stood up and said to Wang Shaoting.
He nodded, came over and changed places with me, I walked to the fire, added some sticks of wood, and just wanted to sit down on the spot, when suddenly I felt a gust of wind blowing, and the flames shook and made a crackling sound.
Unlike the cold, moist breeze that should be found on a rainy night, this gust of wind has an uncomfortable yin air.
I couldn't help but stand up and walk to the temple gate, and when I looked out, the rain was shrouded in the dark night, and the visibility was quite low, and I couldn't see a few meters away.
"What's wrong?" Wang Shaoting saw my move and asked suspiciously.
"No ......" As soon as the words fell, a shadow suddenly flashed in the afterglow. It was swift and light, and by the time I looked closer, it was completely gone.
"I ...... Go for convenience. Don't sleep yet, wait for me. "I didn't want to disturb them, so I walked to the wall, picked up my umbrella, and walked out of the small temple.
I walked out in the direction where the figure had just appeared, and I didn't see anything unusual. To be cautious, I plan to take a circle around the small temple for a radius of about 100 meters to see if I will find anything.
After walking for most of the circle, I found that everything was normal, and I was secretly sighing that maybe I was nervous, and suddenly I tripped under my feet and almost fell.
When I looked back, I was stumbled by a raised triangular stone on the ground. I couldn't help but stretch out my foot angrily to move it to the side, but when I kicked it, the stone did not move, and when I looked again, I found that it was buried in the ground.
Then he gently pushed the wet soil around it with his foot, and suddenly found that the stone was not triangular, but square, and it seemed to have words engraved on it.
This is...... When I reacted, I turned my head sharply, only to find that there seemed to be a lot of these stones all around.
At this moment, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and by this moment of light, I saw this place clearly, and the bluestones engraved with words everywhere were countless tombs!
But it would be inaccurate to say that they are tombstones, because most of the bluestones used as tombstones are buried in mud, so it's no wonder I didn't notice them at first at all.
The tombstones all fell, is it because these tombs have been opened? (To be continued.) )
