Chapter 16: The Lost Forest
Ye Congwen searched all the way to the past, and found that Yu Mansion and Lin Mansion were next to each other, both of them were high walls and deep courtyards, and there were two doormen sitting at the door.
Yu Mansion is quite different. One sedan chair after another came in and out, and the two doormen were busy with their send-offs.
"There seems to be something big going on in the Yu Mansion, all of them are comforting the housekeeper-like people who came to see them off, and there are angry shouts from time to time, as if there is some deep hatred and hatred, shouting and killing, and listening to this voice seems to be a young man with strong blood!"
Ye Congwen pondered the very different scenes of the two mansions and muttered.
However, this trip was to inquire about the news of the Mo family, and after staying for a few minutes, Ye Congwen continued to walk forward.
After about 20 minutes, I walked through dozens of small courtyards, and finally came to a high-walled compound that was the same size as the sum of the two families of Yu Lin, but the color of the wall was dark and old, and the bronze gate was simple and simple, obviously for a long time.
Unlike the two families of Yu Lin, there is no doorman at the door, only an old man who is nearly sixty years old sits on the wooden pier at the door, his eyes are very unkind, and his eyes reveal a ruthless color in his eyes staring at passers-by.
Ye Congwen glanced at the old man from a distance, this section of the road is relatively quiet, and the crowds of people are not as prosperous and popular as the two mansions of Yu Lin, which shows that the power is declining, and it is far less frequent than the doors of the two nouveau riches.
Ye Congwen saw that the old man was quite suspicious, so in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he had to pretend to be a passerby and leave in a hurry, and went around to the mountain behind Mofu, and saw a tree twenty or thirty meters high stretching out a thick branch to grow towards Mofu, and the drooping leaves had covered a pavilion, like a natural umbrella.
Ye Congwen moved, took out a rope, threw it at the thick branches, and climbed up one by one. For people who have lived in the Hundred Beast Mountains for many years, climbing trees is a necessary escape skill, compared to those giant trees that are often hundreds of meters high, this small tree in front of them is simply not worth mentioning.
Ye Congwen squatted cautiously in the branches, the scorching sun above his head, blocked by these fan-sized leaves, not only could he not bask in the sun, but if he looked at it from a distance, he could hardly even find his hiding place, it was really a heaven-made excellent hiding place.
Ye Congwen squatted for an hour, except for the occasional passerby, he didn't even have a dog, and said silently in his heart:
"It seems that today is a waste of time, it is better to go and explore the situation of Yu Mansion if you know this situation."
Just as he was about to retreat, suddenly a middle-aged man walked slowly with a fat man on crutches.
"Renxin, those who do great things must have endurance, distinguish the priorities of things, and don't be blinded by impulse."
A rather majestic voice said.
"My father reminded me that I would call the four doormen back."
As soon as Ye Congwen heard this familiar voice, he knew in his heart that this person was Mo Fatzi who was thrown into the stinky ditch by himself that day, but this name really made the pigeon bean sprouts guess, it was really inhuman! This Nizi's mouth is estimated to have been opened by the old patriarch when she was a child, and her guess score is exactly right!
"Just send it out, just ask about the situation, be careful in everything, and there is no fault for everything! It's just that this tower village can't be provoked at the moment.
I heard that the people of the two tribes of flowers and leaves are talented, tall and powerful, and there is no need for us to clash with them head-on, you can find an opportunity to secretly kill that kid, and complain that there is a debtor and a master. ”
Hearing this, Ye Congwen broke out in a cold sweat, this old guy's methods are really vicious, and he wants people's lives at every turn, but it is just a small conflict, not to mention that your son is the first to tease my sister.
Ye Congwen, a person who grew up in a simple place like Tieta Village, understands the thoughts of these big people, and losing his face is tantamount to hurting his life, not to mention that ordinary people are no different from an ant in their eyes.
If it weren't for the fear that the strong men in Tieta Village would be too strong, they would have sent someone to arrest Ye Congwen and the pigeon bean sprouts and parade them on the street, so as to set an example, and let the people of Wanquan County know at all times: Mo family, don't mess with it!
If you don't set rules, how can you deter an enemy who is about to move?
"It's still my father who thinks about it thoroughly, I originally just wanted to find a few masters to beat him up, just beat him up and get angry, I didn't expect to anger the people of Iron Tower Village, I was too impulsive."
"It's normal for young people to be impulsive once in a while, but now it's an eventful time, and the Yu Lin family is getting closer and closer, although our Mo family has a deep heritage, if the two families join forces, the power cannot be underestimated, plus an iron tower village.
If the two of them instigate Tieta Village to fight with us and lose both, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman, our Mo family will be in danger! No, you'll have to find a time to find out what's real. ”
"I heard that Yu Yueyue was insulted in Qingshan Town, and even her skirt was torn open to her chest, if it weren't for the woman's witty hiding in the stinky ditch, she was afraid that her chastity would not be guaranteed, I don't know if this is really the case?"
When Mo Renxin said this, he seemed to find a feeling of sympathy for the same disease, and his mood suddenly improved.
"Lin Xiaoyu's girl's mouth has always liked to exaggerate out of nothing, and the credibility is not high.
However, it is not all without benefits, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, Yu Yueyue's success rate of this apprenticeship can be said to be greatly reduced, and the good abacus of practicing rainbow is afraid that Lin Xiaoyu will be shattered. ”
"Aren't the two of them good girlfriends since childhood? Lin Xiaoyu may not have done such a thing. Mo Renxin asked with a puzzled expression.
"Lin Xiaoyu can't do it doesn't mean that Lin Lao Ghost can't do it, don't forget, they are best friends in apprenticeship, if you want to climb high branches and marry a wealthy family? Zhen Zizai can become the captain of the Demon Hunter Guard Apprentice Camp at a young age, and his family conditions are definitely not bad, although he has never confided his origins.
According to my guess, nine times out of ten, it is Zhen Wuhou, one of the three major Wuhou families in Lizhou! ”
Ye Congwen heard the Mo family's father and son mention Yu Yueyue's experience, it seemed to be a little similar to the white-faced woman who was thrown into the stinky ditch by himself the day before yesterday, and suddenly remembered the melon seed face next to her, and the woman with a shorter stature seemed to call her Sister Yueyue.
Could it be that the woman is Yu Yueyue of the Yu Mansion? Ye Congwen broke out in a cold sweat on his head, and wailed in his heart: Just go out of the village, there is no need to provoke so many strong enemies!
Mo Renxin can't reconcile, this Yu Yueyue can save it, how can I say that it was kind enough to save her life, so she won't take revenge, right?
But there is still no bottom in my heart, a woman's heart is in the sea, not to mention that it has been rumored that she has insulted Yu Yueyue, and before she can explain it clearly, she may be beaten to death by her family, think about it.
"If it weren't for the fact that all the elites of the previous generation of our Mo family were trapped in the Lost Forest, how could they be afraid of the threat of Yu Lin and the two backward nouveau riche!"
"Father, do you mean that the three brothers of Grandpa's generation are still alive? How many years have passed, how is this possible? Mo Renxin asked in disbelief.
"What's impossible.
Cultivators who practice the Divine Magic Immortal Method often have a long lifespan, and I heard that the lifespan of a body forging warlock is twice that of an ordinary person, and it is calculated according to the seventy-year-old lifespan of an ordinary person.
There will definitely be no problem for the three of them to live to be one hundred or forty or fifty years old, as long as they don't encounter the poisonous hands of demonic beasts, I believe they must still be in the Lost Forest, but they can't find an exit.
This time, let your younger generation go to apprenticeship, firstly, I hope that one or two people in your generation who have practiced divine arts will come out, so that the family inheritance can be hereditary, and the other is ———."
The middle-aged man looked around vigilantly, and glanced around for about ten minutes before he whispered:
"Do everything possible to introduce Zhen Zizai into the Lost Forest, when the Zhen family comes forward to find someone, we may be able to reap the benefits, if the three of them are alive, then the whole county will not be our Mo family!"
Father and son looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of infinite desire. The middle-aged man taught as he walked:
"You have to use your brains more when you encounter problems, a little girl in the countryside, and money can't open your eyes? Even if she is loyal and single-minded, can't she start from her parents, and when she arrives, don't you want to rub the flats and pinching the round? Even if you want her life, I don't think anyone in the entire Wanquan County will dare to say a word! ”
………………
Ye Congwen waited until the two of them were far away, and repeatedly confirmed that there were no domestic dogs and wild cats nearby, before quietly returning to the ground, pretending to walk in the alley as if nothing happened, and walked around Mofu for a long time before swaying to the main street.
The eyes of the person with the sun on his head couldn't open it, Ye Congwen estimated that it was already noon, and his stomach was rumbling, there was little traffic in this section of Mofu, and there were not many shops, and occasionally one or two were elegant places such as some antique cultural toys, and it was difficult to find a restaurant or inn.
I had to speed up the pace, until I passed the two mansions of Yu Lin, and gradually there was a smell of fireworks, and a row of restaurants on the street was more magnificent than the other, all of them were as high as three or four floors, Ye Congwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought about it.
Picked a house with the highest floor, the direction is just opposite the location of the Yu Mansion compound, ordered two catties of sweet wine, a roast chicken, and slowly gnawed it, but his eyes swept towards the Yu Mansion from time to time, but unfortunately the Yu Mansion was too wide, and the ancient trees in it were towering, which just covered the houses of the people living in the house, and only the open yard in front of him could be seen.
From time to time, people come and go, the distance is too far to hear what to say, but the housekeeper-like person has an anxious expression, and occasionally Lang Zhong runs quickly with a medicine box.
"Little Fifth Brother, do you want to hear a secret?"
"Come on! You know, which one I don't know? ”
"If you haven't heard of it, you will pay for this meal, if you have heard of it, how will I pay for this meal?"
Two somewhat familiar voices sounded behind the screen, Ye Congwen secretly glanced at it, it turned out to be the two doormen from Lin Mansion, who had paid special attention to it before, so they were quite impressed by their voices and appearances. Ye Congwen put down the chicken in his hand, picked up his wine glass and listened, if he could explode some fierce news, it would be in vain.
