Chapter Ninety-Six: The Strange Stockade
"Zhao Yanran, you are sick!" Qian Gumeng couldn't help but open his mouth and said angrily, "You will become like this today, it was because of the cold and peace that night, what does it have to do with us!" If you want revenge, you go to Ye Leng'an! What is it against us here! ”
"Don't pretend to be innocent here," Zhao Yanran smiled disdainfully, "You can deceive others with such a trick, but you can't deceive me." Qian Gumeng, now I'm really looking forward to next Monday's school meeting! It will definitely be wonderful when the time comes. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yanran turned around and left.
Qian Gu Meng, who stayed in place, stomped his feet in anger.
At this moment, in the jungle of southern Xinjiang-
She didn't know anything about what was going on in the school, and she didn't know that the principal had helped her solve a big problem. She had been in the jungle for several days, but she had never been able to find the herbs she needed.
At this time, everyone was resting in place.
After Ye Leng'an took a sip of water, he looked at Huangfu Ruiling on the side and frowned, "It's not a way for us to look aimlessly like this." The jungle here is so big, if we have to walk on our feet alone, we don't know how long it will take. ”
If it continues like this, let alone three months, even three years, it may not be possible to find Baizhumu and Yuanyanghua. And Zhong Yuyiran's side can't wait that long.
Huangfu Ruiling frowned, "Is there any other way?" ”
Before, he had already sent a lot of people to look for him, but nothing came of it. They had been in the jungle for several days, but they had not gained anything.
After contemplating for a while, Ye Leng'an spoke, "It seems that we still have to find the locals in southern Xinjiang. I think there must be some of them in the locals who have the herbs we need. ”
"I've been asking for a lot of money in the local area before." Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, "If the locals really had it, they would have taken it out a long time ago." ”
He had already thought of such a solution. If they could get it, they wouldn't be here right now.
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's answer, Ye Leng'an shook his head amusedly, "Then you are wrong, there should be people in southern Xinjiang who have these two medicinal materials, but you don't know their locals." This is Southern Xinjiang, and those who can understand and possess this Yuanyang Flower and Hundred Folded Wood must be Gu raisers. ”
"Such people don't necessarily attach much importance to money, they care more about their Gu worms. You're buying it for a lot of money, and no one will want to exchange it. ”
Huangfu Ruiling frowned.
After thinking about it, Ye Leng'an asked, "Then when Zhong Yuyi came to Southern Xinjiang, where did he go?" If you can find the person who has fallen under the Gu, it will be better than finding the medicinal herbs. ”
Huangfu Ruiling looked at Li San behind him.
Li San understood, and immediately replied, "I have investigated before, but I only know that Miss Yiran came to this area, and I can't find out what the specific place is." ”
"There are a lot of stockades here in southern Xinjiang, why don't we take a look at the nearby stockade today!" Ye Leng'an opened his mouth and proposed, "You can also take a look by the way, whether the people there have collected the two medicinal materials we are looking for." ”
Led by the local, they soon came to a village. This village is in the jungle, and if you are not a local, you should not be able to find it.
Although it is now the 21st century, this village still retains the ancient atmosphere of the past. There are almost no brick buildings to be found in the whole village, and they are all made of wood.
The locals who walked in front said, "The people in this village rarely go out, they have lived here for generations. So there's still a sense of tradition here. But—"
When he said this, the man's voice was a little lowered, "When you are here, be careful, don't offend the people here. It is said that I have only heard about it, and I have heard that the people here are quite vindictive, and I don't know what the means are, and some of the people who offended them were fine when they were here, but it is said that after returning home, they died in various bizarre ways. ”
"Of course, I don't know if these are true or not, but I just heard what people said."
As soon as he heard the words of this guide, Ye Leng'an immediately thought of Gu worms. If the truth really says this to this person, then it is very likely that the people in this village will be able to raise Gu. Three years ago, Zhong Yuyiran was very likely to have been here, and it was even possible that she was caught in the Gu here.
After hearing these words, Huangfu Ruiling's face on the side was very calm, as if he didn't notice anything.
However, Ye Leng'an knew that this person should have the same conjecture as her.
"Really?" Ye Leng'an smiled and said casually, "But I see that the people here are very sunny, not like such people!" ”
Indeed, although this village looks quaint and backward inside, the people here have smiles on their faces and seem to be very content with this kind of life.
The leader smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, what I just said is just rumors, and I don't know what the actual situation is. People here rarely go out, and it's usually people who come here to deal with outsiders. ”
"I see!" Ye Leng'an looked at Huangfu Ruiling, and said coquettishly, "Brother Ruiling, let's play here for two days, okay!" ”
That coquettish voice made people get goosebumps.
Even the night is cold, and I almost can't stand my coquettish voice. However, there is no way around it. When they come to southern Xinjiang, they can't say that they want to collect medicine! So this time they came over with the excuse of playing, and to the outside world, she and Huangfu Ruiling are world friends, and she is a delicate young lady of the family.
Li San and the others couldn't help but shiver when they saw Ye Leng'an's coquettish appearance, and when they looked at Ye Leng'an, their eyes were also indescribable.
However, Huangfu Ruiling, the expression on his face did not change, he just nodded, "Since you want to, then let's stay here for a few days!" ”
Li San stepped forward very consciously, took out a wad of money from his pocket, and handed it to the leader, "Then please help communicate." To see if there is any place to stay here, we plan to stay here for a few days. Of course, price is not an issue. ”
Don't look at Li San who is silent on weekdays, but after coming to southern Xinjiang, he is responsible for almost all external affairs.
Looking at the thick pile of hundred-yuan bills, the leader's eyes lit up, and after taking the money, he smiled and said, "These are all trivial matters, I will immediately go and communicate with the old patriarch of this village." ”
When he took orders before, he knew that the group of people in front of him was very rich. During this time together, he became more certain of this idea. Unexpectedly, this time the luck was really good, after completing this order, he almost had to earn enough money that he could only earn in the previous year.
After the leader left, Ye Leng'an came to Huangfu Ruiling's side, bent down, approached Huangfu Ruiling's ear, and whispered, "Wait a minute, no matter what I do, you don't want to resist, you know?" ”
Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an in surprise, but he didn't ask anything, but nodded, indicating that he knew. Then he felt as if something was covering his body. It felt fleeting, and if you hadn't been paying attention to it, you might have ignored such a change.
But he didn't say anything, not even the expression on his face changed, as if he didn't feel anything.
Ye Leng'an raised her eyebrows, she knew that Huangfu Ruiling was suspicious. However, she also has no choice. This village is not ordinary, and the people in it may have Gu raisers. The evil aura on Huangfu Ruiling's body, even the poison didn't dare to approach, let alone the Gu worm!
You must know that the Gu worm is a Gu that can be called a Gu after a lot of poisons have been killed. It is conceivable that the Gu worm is much more powerful than ordinary poisons. It is precisely because of the power of Gu worms that they are more sensitive to danger.
She dared to say that Huangfu Ruiling's evil spirit, if she got closer, if the people in this village were really raising Gu, then I am afraid that the Gu worms in the entire village would riot. At that time, I am afraid that before they enter the stockade, they will already startle the snakes. Therefore, she could only cover Huangfu Ruiling's body with a faint aura, hoping to temporarily cover up the evil aura on his body.
As for how long it can be covered, it depends on how long the aura will be consumed by the evil qi.
Thinking of this, Ye Leng'an felt that he had really lost a lot this time. Originally, I saw Zhong Yuyiran this time, but I didn't know that there would be no consultation fees in the future. Now he has to go to southern Xinjiang for a long time, and he has to use up his aura. Either way, it's a loss-making deal.
Alas, in the final analysis, it was all to blame for being young and ignorant, and actually found such a difficult guardian for himself without investigation.
As if feeling that Ye Leng'an beside her was depressed, Huangfu Ruiling frowned and looked at the other party a little strangely, as if wondering how she could suddenly be like this.
Ye Leng'an shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Soon, the leader came back, with a smile on his face, he looked at the leader Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an, and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, Miss Ye, I have already asked the patriarchs here, they are all very hospitable, and you are very welcome to stay and play." Also, the group leader warmly invited us to stay at his house for a while! ”
In the past, he had brought other people, but not to this village, but to other villages. Those villages are not as old as this one, but the people in the villages are very welcoming. Obviously, although this village is a little isolated, the people in it are still as welcoming as the people in other villages.
"Really? That's really great. Ye Leng'an looked surprised, and then opened his mouth to urge, "Then what are you waiting for!" Let's get inside! ”
Soon, the group came to the best house in the whole village. However, although it is said to be the best house, it is only larger than other houses, and it looks a little newer, and it is still a house made of wood. However, the house has two floors.
At this time, a white-bearded old man stood in front of the door, with a smile on his face, looking like an ordinary grandfather next door.
"Xiaohu, this is the guest you are talking about!" The old man, who was also the patriarch of the village, stepped forward, looked at the leader, and said with a smile, "They are all handsome men and beautiful women!" The most beautiful little girl and the most handsome young man in our village are in front of them, and they can only be said to be not ugly! ”
The leader, that is, Xiao Hu, couldn't help but stretch out his hand, scratch his hair, and said with a smile, "Patriarch, it's really the same as the hero!" When I first saw it, I felt the same way! ”
The two sides began to exchange pleasantries.
And on Huangfu Ruiling's side, it is still Li San who comes forward.
Soon, the people's quarters were settled. Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng'an, and Li San borrowed from the patriarch's house, and the others lived with the residents next to the patriarch. After all, there are more than a dozen people in that group, and there are more than a dozen people in total. The patriarch's house could not live in it, so he had to scatter and borrow it elsewhere.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an's rooms are relative.
After putting away the luggage, Ye Leng'an came to Huangfu Ruiling's room. At this time, Huangfu Ruiling was drinking tea, and Li San was cleaning up.
Ye Leng'an sat down directly opposite Huangfu Ruiling, picked up a teacup, poured a cup of tea, drank it directly, and sighed at the end, "Good tea." ”
Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Huangfu Ruiling chuckled and shook his head, "With the way you chew peonies, you can really drink it, is it a good tea?" ”
It was rare to see Huangfu Ruiling's smile, and Ye Leng'an was stunned for a while.
All along, she knew that Huangfu Ruiling was very good-looking. Maybe it should be said that in this world, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare. Even if she had been in the cultivation realm for so many years, she had never seen that man with such a world-class face.
However, in the past, Huangfu Ruiling had always been expressionless, so even if she was very handsome, it would not let her sink into it. However, now Huangfu Ruiling's smile gives people a feeling that spring is coming and a hundred flowers are blooming. It's hard to put into words.
However, at this moment, Huangfu Ruiling really has the ability to make people sink into it!
"What's wrong?" Sensing Ye Leng'an's absent-mindedness, the smile on Huangfu Ruiling's face disappeared and was replaced by solemnity.
He thought that something had happened, which was why Ye Leng'an was like this.
"I'm fine, I just thought of something else for a while," Ye Leng'an smiled embarrassedly, and then immediately changed the subject, "I just think this tea is too fragrant, so I just want another cup." ”
After speaking, Ye Leng'an snorted and laughed constantly, but he was a little annoyed in his heart. She didn't expect that she would be stunned by Huangfu Ruiling's smile, it was really embarrassing.
I really didn't expect it! It turns out that she is still a hidden nymphomaniac! O sin! Sin!
Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, it was obvious that he didn't believe Ye Leng'an's words. However, he didn't say anything, just silently poured Ye Leng'an another cup of tea.
This time, Ye Leng'an didn't drink it, but held the teacup in his hand, smelled the faint fragrance of tea, looked at the faint mist, and said, "Do you think this village is very weird?" ”
Huangfu Ruiling put down the teapot in his hand and pointed it out directly, "The people here are too enthusiastic. ”
Ye Leng'an nodded, it seemed that Huangfu Ruiling's thoughts were the same as hers. According to the leader Xiaohu, the people in this village rarely go out, and it can even be said that they live an isolated life here. However, isn't such a place supposed to be very xenophobic? At the very least, they should be very resistant and wary of outsiders.
However, now for their visit, all the way, the people in the village did not have any war, but seemed to be very welcome. And the patriarch only praised them a few words, but he didn't ask them about their origin from beginning to end. If someone comes to the house to borrow it, don't you ask who the other person is?
All this seems normal, but when you really talk about it, it is strange everywhere.
"Although it is not yet certain whether the people in this village are raising Gu, it is certain-" A trace of solemnity flashed in Ye Leng'an's eyes, "This village is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and it can even be said that this place may be full of dangers. ”
"It's too early to say anything." Huangfu Ruiling also didn't lock it tightly, "Wait until late tonight, let Li San go out and explore to see if there are any clues." ”
"It's fine." Ye Leng'an nodded, "Moreover, I am also very interested in the purpose of this patriarch. He accepted a few of us outsiders to borrow here for no reason, and it was impossible for him to do so for that little money. I always had a feeling that he might have other purposes. ”
"If you come, you will be safe." Huangfu Ruiling was very calm, "No matter what kind of purpose he has, it will always be exposed in the end, we just have to wait." ”
"That's right," Ye Leng'an nodded, "The patriarch is very clear, we are only borrowing for a few days. So, no matter what his purpose is, it will definitely be exposed soon. After all, he didn't have too long. ”
Huangfu Ruiling continued to ask, "What kind of person do you think that patriarch is?" ”
"He's definitely not a good guy." Ye Leng'an said without hesitation, "I feel that he is definitely carrying human life on his back." I just don't know if it's direct or indirect. ”
She could see that this patriarch had a blood debt. Therefore, the patriarch has a human life, and there is more than one.
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, and then his face became even more solemn, "If the people here really know how to raise Gu, then this patriarch will definitely do the same." As a result, we are not in a good position. ”
At this time, Li San walked over and asked, "Master, do you think you want to transfer more people over?" Now the situation here is unknown, if these people really know how to raise Gu, it will definitely be a big threat to us. ”
The people they brought this time were just ordinary people in the mortal world. This was just a request from a bodyguard company before departure. So if you really face these people who can raise Gu, I'm afraid that there is no chance of winning.
"It's fine." Ye Leng'an shook his head and continued to speak, "Before, didn't I give everyone a sachet? As long as that sachet doesn't leave you, then the Gu worm can't get close to you. Of course, if I lose it, then I can't do anything about it. ”
Before she set off for southern Xinjiang, she had already guessed that such a situation might happen. Although this time they came to find medicine, this medicine was aimed at Gu worms. Then they may encounter Gu cultivators, even if they are cultivators, they may be hit by Gu worms, let alone ordinary people!
So when she was on the plane before, she gave each person a sachet, in order to guard against Gu worms.
Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Li San glanced at the sachet hanging from his waist, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had never seen what a Gu worm was like, as long as it was a worm, it would not be pretty. So, if he could, he naturally didn't want those bugs to get close.
At this moment, Huangfu Ruiling suddenly spoke, "When was the sachet sent, why don't I know?" And what about mine? Why don't I have a sachet? ”
When he was just handing out sachets on the plane, Huangfu Ruiling happened to go to the bathroom, so he didn't know about it at all. Now when I hear that everyone has a sachet, but only he doesn't, I naturally feel very uncomfortable.
"You don't need it!" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised that Emperor Fu Ruiling would suddenly ask something like this, "Those Gu worms don't dare to approach you at all, what do you want to do with the sachet!" ”
It was because of the evil qi before, but now the evil qi on Huangfu Ruiling's body has been covered, but he has his own aura!
Gu insects are poisons, and they have a natural sense of rejection for something as clean as Reiki. Therefore, whether it is her or Huangfu Ruiling, there is no need for sachets.
"Since everyone has it, then give me one too!" Huangfu Ruiling insisted, "You can't favor one over the other!" ”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an felt a little speechless, "But all the sachets in my hand have been distributed, and now there is no one." ”
It's not a lie, she didn't have much to prepare. When I was on the plane before, it was just enough. Now she doesn't have it on her.
"Then when you go back, make another one for me!" Huangfu Ruiling opened his mouth with a hint of emphasis, "That sachet must be made by you yourself, whether it is outside or inside, before it counts." ”
