Chapter 966: The Old Man Carrying Firewood
Standing at the bow of the boat, my heart was agitated, and I seemed to have forgotten that I might not be able to come back this time when I went back to the mountain and returned to the master's gate.
"Bang Bang".
The hull of the boat shook for a moment, and I came back to my senses in an instant, almost falling off, and quickly held on to the edge of the houseboat and looked back.
The old boatman laughed, "It doesn't matter, you may encounter a big fish down there!" ”
Boy!
A big fish can hit the hull of the boat, how big it must be!
The agitated mood just now was gone, and I saw the young boatman looking at me and smiling, showing a mouthful of big white teeth.
He said, "The river is narrow, so you better sit down!" ”
I smiled and nodded, and sat down slightly awkwardly on a small bench at the bow of the boat.
As the mountains on both sides rise, the surrounding river becomes narrower and narrower, and aquatic plants grow from both sides, almost covering the river.
They were able to find the exact direction of the river in the greenery.
At this point, I began to think about returning to my teacher again.
When you get to the place, you go into the mountains, and then what?
Which way to go?
My master said, you will know when you enter the mountain.
Could it be that someone will come to pick it up?
Or is this old and young old and weird boatman picking me up?
I secretly glanced at the two of them, very ordinary people, there is no mana fluctuation on their bodies, they are ordinary people who can't be more ordinary.
Staring at the winding waterways ahead, I began to wander again.
I thought of Tang Lian for a while, Shi Dan and Aunt Liu for a while, and then I thought of the fat man and Tang Zuo.
Then, before I knew it, I started to remember from the bits and pieces that I had a memory.
This journey cannot be said to be smooth sailing, nor can it be said to be extremely bumpy.
It's always much more exciting than ordinary people.
I followed my master to Jiangcheng, and he taught me all the skills, those ancients
Books, those talismans, and every act of exorcism and avoidance, exploring ancient tombs, and eradicating evil people.
Unconsciously, the hull of the ship "clanged" again and stopped.
"It's here!" The young boatman supported the bottom of the river with a bamboo pole and leaned the boat against a bluestone slab.
I looked ahead, and sure enough, the river was narrow enough to pass through a small boat, and further on, there was a waterfall with a drop of more than ten meters.
I put my backpack on my back, jumped off the boat, and turned to them and clenched my fist, "Good work, two!" ”
"Well said! Hurry up, we're back! The old boatman waved goodbye to me.
I watched as the young man slid in the direction he had come, turned a corner, and disappeared.
I exhaled, turned around, looked at the dense forest in front of me, and walked inside.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that there seemed to be a road in the forest, but in fact there was no road at all.
It's not hard to walk, but it's never easy to get out.
I stopped again.
slapped himself on the head and scolded himself: "Are you stupid? ”
I didn't even notice such an obvious ecstasy, what the hell was I thinking?
I'm not in a hurry, just stop and rest.
Eating in the backpack, they brought me food, took a sip of water, and looked around.
This is an unknown plant forest, almost the same size and thickness.
If you want to say that this is not deliberately planted by someone, the stone egg will not believe it.
After resting enough, I got up, wiped my fingers in my eyes, and a faint mana fluctuation appeared.
I laughed, that's it?
Within a minute, I was walking out of it.
I didn't destroy the formation of the Ecstasy Array, after all, setting up the formation here will definitely have an effect.
I looked up at the mountains in front of me, undulating
Continuously, it seems that a little white head can be seen in the distance, it is a snow-capped mountain.
Even though it's winter, the place where I go up is still green, and if I go deeper, I will experience the four seasons again as the altitude increases and the vegetation changes.
It's just that I just went around the mountain in front of me and stopped.
A figure appeared in front of him, carrying a bundle of firewood, bent on his back, and slowly walking forward.
In the past, when I met people in the mountains, they were either tomb robbers or poachers.
And this person is actually chopping wood!
Who to bluff?
I quickened my pace and walked up.
"Old man, do you need help?" I asked.
The old man looked back at me, revealing a wrinkled face full of vicissitudes.
"I don't have any money!" He spoke slowly, with a thick local accent.
I was slightly stunned, is this treating me as a robber?
I continued, raising my voice, "I said, do you need help?" I can carry this for you! I pointed to the wood on his back.
The old man looked at me for a few more moments, then shook his head and continued to walk slowly.
I saw that he didn't appreciate it, and I didn't force it, so I followed him like this.
He walked so slowly that I walked in two steps a few steps.
I looked ahead, and there was no sign of anyone living there.
I frowned slightly, and looked at the old man again, where the hell did he live?
This mountain road is not obvious, it is covered with knee-high weeds, and if you change people, I am afraid that you will not be able to find the road at all.
It was also because of this that I did not leave in a hurry, but slowly followed him.
It's not that I'm afraid that he will be in danger alone in the mountains, but that suddenly such a person appears in the mountains, which is very suspicious.
I went out of my way to investigate, and he didn't
It's evil, and there's not a little evil in it.
There is no demonic spirit either...... Well, it seems that after the demon cultivator transforms into an adult, ordinary people can't see it at all.
Flavor!
That's right, taste!
However, the smell of grass, trees, dirt, and beast feces was everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whether it was from this person or from the surrounding area.
I was silent for a moment, and continued to slow down, allowing the old man to gradually keep a certain distance from me.
What I didn't expect was that just ahead, at the bend of the mountain, the old man stopped.
He seemed tired, put down the firewood, sat down again, wiped his forehead with the corner of his clothes, and stared blankly ahead.
I stopped too.
This old man and I, less than ten meters apart, stood motionless in the mountain forest.
If the fat man or Tang Zuo followed, he would definitely not be able to help it, and he would either go up and carry the firewood, or walk forward quickly with the old man on his back.
Then you can find out where the elderly live and send them home safely.
But I won't, especially here.
He had just entered the mountain from a narrow river and passed through the Ecstasy, and then he appeared.
I'm disappointed to say that it's not a little boring.
Suddenly, the old man moved, turned his head to look at me, and had an indescribable and sinister smile on his face.
There was a big alarm bell in my heart, and I didn't take the initiative to step forward, just looked at him so vigilantly.
The old man suddenly turned his head to look at me and said, "Young man, I can't walk, can you carry me for a ride?" ”
I have a black line, you thought I was a robber just now, why are you familiar with it now?
The fat man and Don Zuo are not here, if they are, you are willing to do so
No problem.
But I'm not a self-acquainted person, I really won't be fooled if you do this.
When the old man saw that I was not moving, he suddenly became angry and scolded me loudly, "Why are you so rude, young man? Seeing me at such an age, instead of saying help, it's like staring at the bad guys, what the hell are you going to do? Yes? ”
He cried out, and stood up, completely different from his previous staggering slowness, and walked up to me in a few steps, and took my arm.
"Let's go! Find a place to reason! ”
Well?
I looked at the hand that was gripping my arm, and it was cold and piercing.
I suddenly lifted a mouthful of mana, and with a shock, I broke free of his hand.
"Are you an evil or a demon? To die or to live? Give me a good word! ”
