Chapter 13 A small broken village in the woods
"How long will it take to get to Xiangyang City?" Du Yu. Meng Shuqing looked at the unchanged scene all the way around, the trees on both sides were one after another, and the brown soil in front of him was one after another.
"I don't know, you ask Gao Shutian! I'm blind, and you still ask me?" Du Yu turned his head to Meng Shuqing with a mocking expression.
"Hmph, fierce, fierce!" Meng Shuqing thought to himself, forget it, Du Yu is so miserable, maybe he is a little crazy, let's not worry about him. Meng Shuqing turned to look at Gao Shutian, "You have a map, take it out and take a look, how far it is away!"
"Ahh
Meng Shuqing was speechless, why is Du Yu blind, we won't even be able to walk. He looked back at Fang Shuyuan, "Beautiful sister, can you read the map?"
"I don't understand!" The concise and clear answer really shocked Du Yu and the others.
Unexpectedly, Du Yu asked first, "Then how did you know that we were in the Dragon and Phoenix Inn and that Xiao Er was also there?"
"Coincidentally, I was going to deal with the escaped Xiao Er first, and then come to you, and then protect you, but who knew that you also happened to go to that inn, which saved me a lot of effort. When talking to Du Yu, Fang Shuyuan's tone obviously had a hint of tenderness.
"Then you can't read the map, how did you get to the mission destination?" Du Yu continued.
"Fly! Determine the general direction, and then fly, if you feel that you are flying in the wrong direction, then come down and ask for directions!" Fang Shuyuan said very confidently, as if she was very proud, she flew to the destination nine times out of ten!
Du Yu and the three of them were sweating profusely, and they all gave Fang Shuyuan a thumbs up, "Don't you teach you to read the map in the secret hall?" Du Yu was puzzled, this way of rushing was too incredible.
"There used to be, but it happened to teach the class of map recognition, and I didn't find a classroom, so I don't know how to look at the map until now! You see, Meng Shuqing and Gao Shutian are not the two of them!" Fang Shuyuan raised her head and did not look a little ashamed.
Du Yu looked at the black lines on his face, and thought to himself, how did Fang Shuyuan sit in the position of the acting hall master of the dark hall of the Golden Dragon City Branch, it was really incredible.
Of course, he was also speechless for Meng Shuqing and Gao Shutian, remembering the first mission after they formed a team two years ago, it was because the two of them couldn't understand the map, which led to the final division of the soldiers into three ways, and in the end, only Du Yu arrived at the scene alone, and fought a group of people alone, the consequences can be imagined, the mission failed, and he was scolded by Tianli, that is, from that time, Du Yu developed a good habit of carrying the blame, which is also the beginning of the relationship between the three of them gradually becoming brothers.
"Okay, okay! Then we'll keep walking along this road, and we'll always get out! Make a mark along the way, so that we don't go around in circles!"
One hour, two hours...... The sun above the heads of Du Yu and the four of them set and replaced it with the moon.
"Hey, Du Yu, Gao Choptian, beautiful sister, come and see!" Meng Shuqing pointed to a jungle in the distance, slowly rising smoke from the cooking, Meng Shuqing danced with his hands, "Let's go and ask for directions! By the way, take a shower and change clothes!"
Du Yu shook his shoulders, feeling that his clothes were a little sticky, presumably Meng Shuqing, a cleanliness man, couldn't stand it for a long time, and it was very good to be able to endure it until now. "Alright, let's go ahead and have a look. Du Yu is now the little leader of the four-person team, responding to three calls.
After a while, Du Yu and the four of them found the source of the cooking smoke, and what caught their eyes was a small village with only three or four broken thatched houses. Only one room had smoke wafting from the chimney, and an old woman with a broken left arm was feeding the chickens in the chicken pen at the head of the village.
Outside the thatched hut with cooking smoke, two old men were playing chess on a simple table made of stones, there was nothing strange about it, and perhaps the only thing that surprised people was the two old men, one without a left leg, the other without a right leg, and two thick wooden sticks on the side of the stone table.
Seeing the four Du Yu suddenly appear at the head of the village, the three disabled old men all stopped what they were doing, and the two old men at the stone table did not make any other movements, but just sat quietly and looked at Du Yu and the four of them, but the old woman who fed the chickens walked out of the chicken pen and came to them.
"It's rare for outsiders to come to our small village, come on, come on!" The old woman very warmly invited Du Yu and the four of them into the village.
Du Yu was a little puzzled by this, how could there be such a village in the Biluo Forest, in the vision provided by his spiritual sense, the entire village was in it, not big, only four thatched houses, although he couldn't see the appearance of the three old people clearly, but the gray hair let Du Yu know that it was three old people, but they were all disabled, which was the biggest doubt.
But Du Yu didn't express his doubts, he wanted to observe more.
Meng Shuqing couldn't wait to be the first to walk into the small village, under the leadership of the old woman, Du Yu and the four walked to the thatched hut with smoke wafting out, and the two old men who were playing chess smiled and nodded to Du Yu and the four, and Du Yu and the four of them returned the salute simply and politely.
At this moment another old man crawled out of the hut, and this old man's legs did not have a part below the knee, so he used his thighs as a base, and supported his whole body with his arms, so that he moved forward, and looked like he was crawling on the ground, which was very pitiful.
"Eh, there's a guest coming!Welcome!" When the old man came out of the hut, the old man playing chess quickly stood up, which made Du Yu even more puzzled, this legless old man made them so full of awe? What kind of village is this?
After the legless old man came out to invite us, the two old men, who had nothing to say, began to invite Du Yu and the four of them into the hut to drink some water and eat something. Meng Shuqing saw that Du Yu and Fang Shuyuan had not moved, and suppressed the impatience in his heart, he really wanted to drink good water and eat good food, and the dry food tasted very wrong to be honest, Meng Shuqing's appetite.
Fang Shuyuan looked around, presumably these four disabled old men would not pose any threat to her, a strong spirit king, she looked at Du Yu's hesitant appearance, coquettishly to Du Yu, and pulled the corner of Du Yu's clothes, "Husband~ People are a little thirsty!"
Hearing Du Yu's goosebumps, he could imagine Fang Shuyuan's expression at this time, so he was even more surprised, thinking, "Damn! This woman! Fairy!" The Spirit King powerhouse behaved like this, in fact, he was still very happy in his heart, but Du Yu couldn't adapt to it!
"Ahem! Okay! Let's go inside. Du Yu cleared his throat and said helplessly.
Seeing this, Meng Shuqing and Gao Shutian couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts, especially Meng Shuqing, he thought that Du Yu had found something suspicious, so it was so, he was waiting for Fang Shuyuan to be coquettish, it was really his heart to live in!
Du Yu and the four of them sat at the wooden table in the thatched hut, and the legless old man brought a teapot and four wooden teacups. "The old body is sick, and it is inconvenient to pour tea for the four guests, so the four guests please take care of themselves!"
"Thank you, old man!" Meng Shuqing took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Du Yu, Fang Shuyuan, Gao Shutian and himself.
"The old woman went to the chicken pen to catch chickens, tonight the four guests might as well rest in our small village for one night, it is rare for guests to come to our village, don't refuse, although our place is small, but there is enough hot water to take a bath, the four must have been in a hurry, a good hot bath must be very comfortable!" The legless old man did not give Du Yu the four of them room to refuse, which made Du Yu even more puzzled.
"I'm going to see how the old woman is doing in the chicken pen. After saying that, the legless old man slowly crawled out of the hut, and closed the door after going out.
Du Yu motioned for Fang Shuyuan to release his spiritual sense to take a look at the situation outside the house, and then said to Meng Shuqing and Gao Qitian, "Don't drink tea yet!"
But it was too late, Gao Qitian had just picked up the teacup and hadn't drunk it yet, but Meng Shuqing had already drunk the entire cup of tea.
"Oh my God, scholar, have you never drunk tea in your life, so you can't wait?" Du Yu said.
Hearing Du Yu call himself a scholar, Meng Shuqing realized it later, but he couldn't spit out the water after drinking it.
"Fang Shuyuan!, how's it going?"
"Can you not call me by my full name!" Fang Shuyuan's tone was a little resentful, as if she was a little unhappy that Du Yu called herself Fang Shuyuan.
"Okay, good, Shuyuan! Okay!" Du Yu Khan, why is this woman so strange!
Seeing that Du Yu changed his name to Shuyuan, Fang Shuyuan smiled, and then turned cold, "The two broken legs outside the house have been staring at us, and I can't see the old woman with the broken hand in the chicken pen, and the figure of the legless old man is gone!"
"Sure enough, there is a problem! I mean, how can four disabled people live so leisurely in this dangerous Biluo Forest, let's go! Let's strike first!" Du Yu ordered, and then Fang Shuyuan and the three of them raised their spiritual power and prepared to do it.
"That's right! I found that there is a tunnel in the back room, protected by a spiritual power barrier, I can't see the situation inside! I feel that there may be something interesting inside!" Fang Shuyuan reminded Du Yudao.
