Chapter 475: Xanadu Mujia Village
No one expected that the map shown on the treasure map was actually after finding the valley, and the winding road signs were only pointing to the way up the hill to the village, and not to continue to point to other places, and the strange numbers carved in the corners were also marked, and the stumps should be turned, left or right.
The people of Mujia Village are very cautious, and every place that needs to be frequented will make them make several forks in the road, and each fork in the road looks like someone has walked it, so that people cannot find the right path from the traces.
Ling Qingrui didn't know if this was a large-scale psychedelic array, she didn't want to try it at this time, what would be the result if she went wrong, sometimes going up the mountain, sometimes going down the mountain, so that her injuries that had not yet healed began to ache faintly, and there was sweat trickling down her forehead.
Qi Ran wanted to speak a few times and stopped, but after all, she didn't say anything, just handed a handkerchief to Ling Qingrui to wipe her sweat, and then concentrated on walking, her appearance looked much better than Ling Qingrui, and after walking for most of the day, she didn't look out of breath, and her steps were still a little light.
Although Ling Qingrui was at the forefront, it was just the lightness under Qi Ran's feet that Ling Qingrui noticed, but at this time, Ling Qingrui's mind was thinking about the map, and she didn't think much about it.
When Ling Qingrui could barely support it, the front of the road that was going around suddenly became empty, and a mountain wall that seemed to be towering into the clouds and smooth as a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her.
Looking up and down at the stone wall, Ling Qingrui's eyes narrowed slightly, according to the direction, this is still the bottom of the current, not the cliff where she drifted away after falling, and ......
Ling Qingrui stepped forward and reached out to touch the stone wall, the only place where there were a few depressions, and the order of several depressions actually made her feel a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be exactly the same as the holes carved on her bracelet.
"Miss Ling......" Mu Zhengyou saw where she hesitated for a while, did not speak, and only stroked the depressions, but did not say anything, couldn't help but come forward, wanting to say something.
Ling Qingrui didn't say anything, just looked back and glanced at Mu Zhengyou coldly, and the cold meaning in it made Mu Zhengyou's whole body stiffen.
Although Mujia Village is isolated from the world, Mu Zhengyou was born in the village chief's family, and he is a well-known figure in Mujia Village, and his father's requirements for him are also quite strict, which will make him have a trace of nobility in his words and deeds, he also thinks that he has a character like his father, he will not be afraid of anyone, but when facing Ling Qingrui's eyes, his heart trembled slightly.
What kind of look is that, which contains a chill as cold as a blizzard, and seems to have an unrivaled momentum to the sky, arrogant and arrogant, but it makes people feel no disbelief or resentment in their hearts, as if the person opposite should be so arrogant!
Ling Qingrui saw Mu Zhengyou froze, so she slowly withdrew her eyes, since she was saved by Wang's family, she seemed too soft, so that this Mu Zhengyou despised her so much, and she tried it if she wanted to, it was very casual.
Since she went up the mountain, that is, since Mu Zhengyou gradually fell behind her, Mu Zhengyou has been testing Ling Qingrui, testing whether she only has a bracelet in her hand, or even owning a map, testing whether she is familiar with the things marked on the map, and even testing whether she is smart enough to find the right path by herself.
These temptations, coupled with the bursts of weakness on her body, made Ling Qingrui's eyes extremely cold, at this time her gaze returned to the stone wall, and then slowly stretched out her hand, in the pile of depressions, reached out and poked at one of them, only to hear the sound of "boom", the stone wall that Ling Qingrui thought was as smooth as a mirror was suddenly cracked from the middle of the lower part, and slowly moved to both sides.
In Mu Zhengyou's eyes, which seemed to be shaken, as if he was speculating how Ling Qingrui could accurately find the right one in such a pile of depressions, Ling Qingrui stepped into it.
The air behind the stone wall seemed to be fresh, which made Ling Qingrui's mind, which was a little drowsy because of the pain, suddenly wake up, and look at it, the white clouds are leisurely, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are shady, the stream is murmuring, and the smoke is curling...... There is also the faint sound of children playing, everything is so peaceful and beautiful!
Ling Qingrui took a deep breath, didn't look at Mu Zhengyou, and walked straight inside, only a short distance away, someone had already greeted him, an old man with gray hair and exposed eyes.
"Father." Mu Zhengyou saluted the old man.
The old man bowed slightly, looked at Ling Qingrui, and said, "Old man Mu Honghao, if the girl doesn't dislike it, you can call Uncle Hao." ”
Mu Honghao's tone was very soft, as if Ling Qingrui was his junior of his relatives, and the light in his eyes was not to be underestimated.
Obviously, all over the body was in pain, especially the internal organs, because of this journey, it seemed that they were all crowded together, and it hurt when they fell heavily, but Ling Qingrui's back was straight, and the pear vortex that always loomed on her cheeks had long since disappeared, and her momentum was condensed and no one was lost, and her coarse linen clothes could not hide the slightest arrogance.
Ling Qingrui did not give women's etiquette, but clasped her hands into fists like a man and saluted, and said: "Ling Qingrui took the liberty to visit, because of the life-saving grace of the Wang's father-in-law's family, so I wanted to see Nan Nan Niang and see how her condition was. Leave! ”
After speaking, Ling Qingrui turned around and walked out without hesitation, leaving only Mu Honghao and Mu Zhengyou looking at each other, no one thought that Ling Qingrui had a cold and arrogant posture, but she spoke with three points of politeness, but as soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left without thinking.
Mu Zhengyou hurriedly told Ling Qingrui's performance all the way, Mu Honghao snorted coldly after hearing this, and shouted: "Miss Ling, don't you want to know what kind of relationship the bracelet on your wrist has with my Mujia Village?" ”
Ling Qingrui's footsteps did not stop, only a cold voice came, she said: "No matter what their relationship with Mujia Village is, even if there are thousands of treasures as shown on the map, what does it have to do with me." ”
Mu Honghao, the village head, heard the word "them" keenly, and the light in his eyes suddenly overflowed, and he immediately hurried to Ling Qingrui's side, looked at Ling Qingrui's sweaty but cold face, and said, "Girl, please stay." Does the girl know that a long time ago, the Mu family and the Ling family came from the same origin, or even from the same family? ”
"My father died very early, and I never mentioned it." Ling Qingrui stopped, she was about to enter Mujia Village, but she couldn't let others handle it, so she just made a move, at this time the village chief had obvious signs of softening, Ling Qingrui was guided by the situation, and her attitude also changed.
"I see." Mu Honghao touched his beard and made a gesture of please, "It's a dog rudeness, I hope the girl is not strange, the girl must be extremely tired all the way, please go into the village to take a break, okay?" ”
Ling Qingrui groaned slightly, Qi Ran, who had never spoken, quietly tugged at Ling Qingrui's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Rui'er, your body is not well yet, rest for a while, and then make plans." ”
Hearing this, Ling Qingrui bowed slightly at Qi Ran, and then turned to Mu Honghao and said, "In this way, there will be a lot of disturbances, and after resting, I will leave." ”
When Mu Honghao heard that she was still leaving, a flash of essence flashed, but he said with a smile on his face: "Don't bother, don't bother, Miss Ling, please." ”
The group officially entered the village at this time, and occasionally met the villagers, and the villagers all looked at Ling Qingrui and Qi Ran with curious eyes, and more of them saluted the village chief and greeted Erzhu.
A woman said to Erzhu very enthusiastically: "Erzhu, you can't go out this time, right?" You don't know, you always go to the thatched house during this time, but your aunt is worried. ”
"Yes, Erzhu has worried A-Niang, and she has also bothered Auntie to take care of Yunniang more on weekdays."
The woman waved her hand and said, "Hey, what is this, you better go back and see your aunt quickly." ”
Seeing that the woman's expression was not very good, Erzhu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "But what happened to my aunt?" ”
The woman looked at the face of the village chief, and then said: "Your aunt last night, I don't know why, suddenly the stomach pain is not stopped, the pain is almost gone, hurriedly found Dr. Wang to see, Dr. Wang said that he had a carbuncle, and prescribed a prescription for your aunt, if it wasn't much better this morning, my aunt wanted to send someone to call you back." ”
Erzhu's face became extremely ugly, and he thanked the woman again and again, and rushed to the house without stopping, although there are many brothers in his family, all of them are very filial, but he is not at ease with his father, at this time, he heard that his mother was sick, how can he not be in a hurry.
Ling Qingrui also heard their conversation, and after a slight pause, she said to Mu Honghao: "Brother Erzhu has a great favor to me, I want to go to his house first to see if there is anything I can help." ”
Seeing Ling Qingrui looking at Erzhu differently, Mu Honghao seemed to think of something, his eyes swept over Erzhu who was running away, and then said with a smile: "The girl's gratitude is really a blessing for the Yangcheng family. is traveling, don't hurry up to lead the way, and take Miss Ling to Yangcheng's house. ”
Although Mu Zhengyou didn't know what his father was thinking, he led Ling Qingrui to the house where Erzhu's father and mother lived, but before he could get into the house, he heard a burst of painful moans, mixed with Erzhu's anxious inquiry.
Ling Qingrui walked in, but saw that there were five or six men in the room, who were surrounding an old man and asking something urgently, and the old man also shook his head repeatedly, and the faces of the five or six men were even more difficult to see.
Erzhu turned his head to the side, almost shrunk into a ball of pain beside the woman, and shouted urgently, but the woman was sweating like rain and couldn't respond.
Seeing this situation, Ling Qingrui's heart moved slightly, she couldn't hold it anymore, and stepped forward.
