Chapter 37
A breeze is blowing, the sun is shining brightly, and the weather is good today.
Sheltered by the mountains in the mountains, the road winds, and down the post road, a sparse and bitter tea field comes into view.
The bitter teas in the tea fields are crooked and far apart, and some are even newly planted seedlings. As if the place had been plagued by some calamity before, it withered.
What's more, there are few farmers working in the fields, leaving them to fend for themselves.
If you just look at the scene in front of you, I am afraid that it is easy to put Kuchaling into those most impoverished and unenterprising mountains, and if there are no resources, it is the most terrible to lose the heart of farming.
Even if the people of Lingnan are unwilling to work hard, the general government owner will plan the distribution of spiritual fields, at least so that the land can be properly cultivated, and can also make a contribution to the finances. Abandoned like this seems to indicate that the ability of the government is somewhat lacking.
In the hidden place of the field, there is a man in a cloth shirt, sneaking forward, even looking around, cautiously, not treating this place as a poorly managed place in the slightest.
Also, if you really don't manage it well, can you rectify your own mansion owner like that?
Kang San, as Zhao Tian's personal soldier, is naturally clear about his strength, and he deals with some private matters on weekdays, and he is also quite popular with the lord of the mansion.
Seeing that his adult was taught a lesson, he retreated with a smile on his face, and he knew that Zhao Tian must come to Kuchaling to find trouble.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Tian actually sent him as an advance soldier to explore first.
"What a beep dog!"
Even if he has an in-depth understanding of Zhao Gongzi's character on weekdays, at this moment, he will inevitably be scolded in his heart.
Kang San looked out as he walked, his body arched, to ensure that he was not in the tea field at all, so that no one could see him. Even at the slightest disturbance, he stopped and made a backward escape.
Zhao Gongzi was afraid, as a mortal person, he was even more afraid of death, if he hadn't known that Zhao Tian's methods were cruel, he would have sneaked away a long time ago.
If during the investigation, he finds that there is nothing wrong, he is ready to abscond, after all, his life matters.
After walking for a while, I found that the tea field was gradually opening up, and there was a noticeable color change in the distance. In a fenced field, some farmers are busy taking care of the spiritual plants.
Kang San secretly lay on the ground, muttering inwardly.
"Is this Kuchaling so lax, there is not even a guard to guard it, could it be that they all went to the kiln village with the Li Mansion Master? Then Zhao Gongzi's trip is the right one. ”
Thinking of this, he looked far away, and found that the tea leaves fluttered in the wind, and the leaf lines actually looked like human faces, if you didn't look closely, at a glance, it looked like human skin paintings all over the ground, smiling at himself.
Kang San involuntarily held his breath, his pupils gradually dilated, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
"What the hell is this? When did Kuchaling plant this thing, and wouldn't it have nightmares at night? ”
Some of the farmers were busy in the fields, laughing and laughing from time to time, and they seemed to be accustomed to this state of affairs without the slightest hint of nervousness or crampedness.
However, the farmers are very cautious, tying their hands and feet with white cloth or white paper and the like, and they are careful when touching the human face tea, especially when picking, and use special tools to cut the leaves.
Seeing this, Kang San felt that the investigation was almost, and the incident in Kuchaling was probably related to this strange tea field, as for those terrifying human face tea, maybe Zhao Gongzi would know it.
As soon as he turned around, he suddenly found that there seemed to be someone behind him, and before he could see his face clearly, a paper painting was suddenly pasted on the door of his head, cold and weird, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
But his body moved involuntarily and returned to the way he came.
After a while, he appeared on the post road outside the ridge.
In the distance, a few people were waiting restlessly, and the horses were led under the ravine, and there was no sign of them.
"Childe, Childe, Kangsan is back!"
Seeing the return of the soldiers sent out to reconnoitre, Zhao Tian's hanging heart finally fell, after all, he had just experienced Li He's strength, and he almost lost his life, if he really couldn't swallow this breath, he really didn't dare to come here to provoke.
However, he is not a fool, Li He is clearly not afraid of retaliation when he lets him go, so he first sent his men to investigate and see what kind of demon land Kuchaling is.
But Kang San came back intact, which made him wary.
"How's that, is there anything weird about Kuchaling?"
Kang San lowered his head, and his tone was a little calm.
"My lord, everything is normal in Kuchaling, but there is a tea field that is quite strange. There are a large number of Kuchaling people planting and operating, and it is full of tea leaves in the style of human faces.
The rest of the tea fields are deserted, and perhaps their secret lies in them. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Tian was naturally a little strange.
"Human face tea?"
I can't remember that there is such a spirit plant, could it be a new variety of mutation? Li He relied on this thing to make a fortune?
After thinking about it, Zhao Tian still decided to go and take a look in person, after all, even Kang San was back, so there shouldn't be any big problem.
"Let's go, keep up! Come with me to see what is hidden in Kuchaling. ”
After speaking, he took the lead in sneaking into the tea field, and several personal soldiers followed.
The tea fields are indeed a little sparse, and you can't even hide your body without bending down, and there are no farmers to take care of them.
Zhao Tian walked very quietly, and after a while, he walked to the high slope, and happened to see the scene of the tea field with human faces.
The breeze was rippling, and the tea leaves on the human face kept shaking, as if strange faces were smiling at him.
Even Zhao Tian, who has auspiciousness, feels a little infiltrated, and there are no farmers at all, the fields are empty, what is Kang San doing!
Thinking of this, he just wanted to open his mouth to scold this guard, when suddenly a cold sweat rose from behind his back.
Because he was too nervous about his surroundings and observed the so-called human face tea, he overlooked some key factors.
For example, the footsteps of the guards seem to be gradually decreasing?
There was silence beside him, there was no sound of breathing at all, and he couldn't even perceive the slightest human body temperature, as if he had fallen into a mysterious cage.
He ran the breathing method, put his hand on his waist, and was about to take out the so-called back hand, but he couldn't move a single bit.
A sticky red tongue wrapped around his arm, binding half of his body, as if he was wearing a heavy paper coat, the cold breath came from the same source as Li He, and what was even more terrifying was that he didn't even have a chance to use his back hand.
The same erosion, the same might, and another encounter in a different place, what a drama.
Zhao Tian turned around and saw a fairy-looking woman, he stretched out his pale palm from his sleeve, and a strange red tongue stretched out from its center, winding like a rope to tie him.
The woman was born very white, but it was the kind of bloodless pale. Both the figure and appearance are impeccable, and the body is cold, as if staying in an ice cave.
Zhao Tian showed an expression of surprise in disbelief, and even his tongue was knotted, and he couldn't speak. There is no it, just because the woman in front of him is known to him.
"Miss Liu?"
Liu Ruhua smiled, reached out to take off the paper talisman hidden behind Zhao Tian, touched his left arm by the way, suppressed the talisman that was about to be taken out, looked at him with a face full of despair, and replied.
"Zhao Gongzi hasn't seen him for a long time, I originally wanted to go to your ridge to bother, but unfortunately I didn't make it.
I didn't expect you to be enthusiastic, and you made a special trip to be a guest, and the concubine was really grateful. ”
At this time, Zhao Tianke was not calm at all, his face was full of horror, because his body was gradually eroded by the white paper, and his skin became white.
He never imagined that there was really a powerful person in Kuchaling who could make him unable to use the so-called background, and he never imagined that this person was still an ignorant girl he had coaxed.
Even he had doubts in his heart whether Liu Ruhua was just Li He playing his tricks, and even if he changed the character in his heart, the woman in front of him would change accordingly.
But it's a pity that no matter what Zhao Tian thinks, Liu Ruhua didn't change, but gently persuaded him.
"You remember what you wanted, but it's a pity that the slave family is already Li Gongzi's person, and there is nothing to repay him, so he can only make you a human skin!"
The smile was full, but his finger was slashing at Zhao Tian's heart, and he was extremely calm.
I saw four characters written on the paper symbol.
"Throw yourself into the net!"
