Walking until noon, Xia Yanru probed the buildings not far away, and also understood why the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and this old man had no intention of stopping to avoid the rain, it turned out that the temple was so close to Xiganggou.

"You are from Xiganggou, why do you keep living in Shiniugou Village under the mountain?" Seeing that it would take less than ten minutes to reach Xiganggou, Xia Yanru did not continue to remain silent, but cared about the reason why Lao Gu lived in the village under the mountain.

"You want to know?" Old Gu paused, turned around and threw a complicated look at Xia Yanru.

"Naturally, people are curious." Xia Yanru nodded, but she didn't deny her curiosity.

"I am far away from my parents and family, and I live alone in Shiniugou Village all year round, just to prevent you people from entering the mountains." Lao Gu's tone continued to rise in a step-by-step manner, "Do you think I can't see it, except for Professor Hu and his two students, the rest of you are not from the archaeological team, why are you here for, do you think I don't know?" ”

"No, you're staying at the bottom of the mountain, not just to prevent others from finding Xiganggou, right?" Ji Wenlin suddenly felt that this old man was not telling the truth, just to prevent the invasion of foreigners, and set traps on several roads that must be passed through the mountainside, which was almost enough to drink away from outsiders, and there was no need to stay alone in Shiniugou Village, and because of this, he was separated from his relatives and relatives.

The old god smiled and didn't say anything more, and then silently began to lead the way in front, right or wrong, he wouldn't let these people have a chance to know his secret.

Knowing that she almost deceived this old Gu again, Xia Yanru was also convinced of this person, it is said that at this time, the other party is obviously in the upper hand, and theoretically has absolute control, but that's it, and refuses to give the truth, but the secret that the other party wants to hide is indeed very important, and the important one can only rot in the stomach.

Xia Yanru is not a person who asks for the bottom of things, from the beginning of her departure to the present, she has been tempted several times in succession, but as a result, this old Gu is half true and half false, which shows that this person's vigilance is so strong, so no matter how much she tries to ask, it is difficult to ask the truth.

exchanged a look with Ji Wenlin that only each other could understand, and for the next few minutes, neither of them made a sound, until the overall outline of Xiganggou came into view, and they knew that the first target had finally arrived.

"Standing, who is it?" Mandarin with a Dianyun provincial accent sounded on the watchtower not far ahead.

"Old Gu, I have already brought people back according to your husband's request." Old Gu replied loudly upward.

"Sure enough, it's this prisoner Ji Yu." Although it had been speculated that it was this person's conspiracy before, it was not until this moment that the truth was learned from Lao Gu's mouth.

"What should come will come." Xia Yanru was calm, Jin Gu Dan had already been dropped by her, but she would not be restrained by the other party, if she didn't want to figure out the plan of this prisoner Ji Yu and the true identity of Lao Gu, she would not choose to follow.

After a while, the wooden door slowly opened from the inside, and out came two masked strong men with guns, the face towels covered most of their faces, only a pair of eyes were exposed, from the shape of the body to the fierceness revealed in the eyes, it was clear that these two people were outlaws.

"Come in with me." One of them looked at Xia Yanru and the three of them for a moment, his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest, and the hand holding the gun raised towards the door, and the person also made a way.

Lao Gu lowered his head slightly, covered all his expressions and raised his feet to walk inside, in his heart he was actually very unhappy with the master-like attitude of these two people, but people were soft-spoken, and some clansmen were under the control of this group of wicked people, even if he was unhappy, he couldn't show it for these people to notice.

"Hurry up!" The strong man with the gun on the side coldly urged Xia Yanru and Ji Wenlin, and the leisurely appearance of these two people made the strong man particularly unhappy.

Xia Yanru and the two quickened their pace slightly, and now it is not the time to have a conflict with each other, and when they understand the situation, the new and old accounts will be settled together.

The overall structure of this Xiganggou is much more compact than that of the average village, and the proposed protective wall built with stone walls on the periphery is estimated to be just to resist wild beasts on weekdays, and I can't guess that someone will find here, and the watchtowers on both sides of the gate are obviously not commonly used.

The group went straight to a stone building in the upper right corner of the village, and looking at the scale and system, it was different from the other buildings in the village, and it was likely to be the residence of important people such as the council chamber or the patriarch.

When I entered the stone building, I was not surprised to see the prisoner Ji Yu sitting on the central throne, this person was sitting on the throne with the appearance of a master, and a girl was accompanying him on each side.

On closer inspection, the bodies of these two girls trembled slightly, and their dresses were different from ordinary people, with pink-purple painted lines under their eyelids, and their clothes were quite ancient, and their bodies were white.

"Miss Xia, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you're still as beautiful." Seeing Xia Yanru and the three of them coming in, the prisoner Ji Yu first glanced at Ji Wenlin in a little surprise, and then said to Xia Yanru like an old friend.

"Heh, Mr. Prisoner also likes to threaten people as always." Xia Yanru will not show mercy at all because of the decline, and she almost doesn't have to think about it when she rejects it.

"It's still the same sharp teeth." Prisoner Ji Yu didn't show it on his face, but he was actually a little angry in his heart, but he knew that he could still use the other party, so he didn't want to make trouble with the other party on this tongue.

This is also Xia Yanru doesn't know what the other party thinks in her heart, otherwise she must be unable to help but laugh loudly, with what Ji Yu is doing now, I'm afraid there is no difference between them and tearing their faces, Jin Gu Dan has been used, how big a heart does it take to feel that getting along with each other is not bad?

"I've already brought it to you, can my people let it go?" Lao Gu didn't care about the eyebrow lawsuit between these people, he only cared about the safety of his people.

"Don't worry, don't worry, your people are fine, but it's you, I still need you to continue to help me do something." The smile on the prisoner Jiyu's face did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and what he said was that he needed Lao Gu's help, but in fact, this was just a unilateral notice.

"You backtracked, you promised me before, as long as you bring the person you want, you will let us go!" Lao Gu's face was angry, he endured it for so long, in order to save the clansmen, but the other party repented of what he promised, and anyone would be furious.

"I just said that I can release people if I need you to help me do things, but I didn't say that I can do a few things, what's more, do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?" Prisoner Ji Yu showed a grim smile while lightly lifting the face of the girl on the right with his fingers.

Seeing this scene, Lao Gu's eyes were instantly split, and the sadness of being controlled by others hit his heart, but he could only clench his fists and slowly lower his head to compromise.

A sarcastic and cold smile hung on his lips, and Ji Yu was not surprised by the other party's reaction at all, he had probably figured out the identity of this old man these days, and he was also happy with his good luck for a while, as long as he still had concerns, he was not afraid that the other party would be able to escape from his palm.
