Ziyu, who was regarded as an immortal, appeared in the place where she disappeared at the beginning, and the eternal mule cart came out along with it.

Under the crescent.

The sound of insects has become the main tone in the mountains, and the shadows of the trees sway in the wind, like the man-eating monster with teeth and claws.

Two windproof lamps that suddenly lit up hung on both sides of the car and swayed with the movement.

The fat and strong mule, after resting for two days, was full of energy, and did not use Ziyu to swing the whip, and walked slowly under the moonlight on its own.

Even Ziyu, who was so bold that she was boundless, tightened the clothes on her body, and invited a gown to wear to feel warmer.

The sound of hooves came far away in the empty night, and Ziyu touched the soft whip that never left her wrist, and her heart was steady.

Holding a fire fold in his hand and blowing it up, his face under the light of a small ball of fire looked extremely weird.

…

"Childe...... Son...... I've finally waited for you! ”

Ziyu was so frightened that the fire fold in her hand flew towards the sound, and the soft whip on her wrist was also thrown out.

"Ouch, the son's subordinates are merciful, the little old man has an old bone and can't stand the toss."

A sloppy old man with dirty hair, beard, and beard was dragged out of the roadside by a soft whip.

Ziyu heard the obscene voice, took off the windproof lamp and shone it on the face of the person who approached.

"Hold the grass, bad old man, why are you?

I have a grudge against you in my previous life, so I'll keep an eye on me.

Running out in the middle of the night is scary, saying that it is a person or a ghost! Ziyu, who was startled, shouted angrily.

Who can tell her that in the middle of the night she can meet someone on the side of the road who should be in Yaxing, it's really a fucking ghost.

"Childe, I'm human, and there's heat, I don't believe you touch it!

I inquired all the way, and someone said that you went this way, and I caught up with you.

After chasing for two days, I thought it was hopeless, but I didn't expect you to be behind. ”

The bad old man licked his face and leaned under the lamp, and stroked his beard to reveal the indiscernible face inside.

"What the hell do you want to do, old man?

If you don't make it clear, I will bury you on this mountain. ”

"Childe, give me a stutter!

I'm hungry and thirsty, and I'll tell you everything in a moment.

You're still afraid that I'll not be able to make an old bone, and I won't even be able to break free from your whip. ”

The cheeky bad old man was not angry with Ziyu's words, and he didn't feel ashamed to ask for something to eat at all.

When she met such a person in the middle of the night, Ziyu didn't want to leave, she wanted to hear what secrets this old man had.

"Go to the roadside and build a fire, don't say that you are ugly, and boil a handful of old bones in oil."

It's like she's chatting with ghosts in the middle of the night!

Without Ziyu's instructions, I saw the bad old man untie the soft whip on his waist by himself, take the windproof lamp and go down the road, dragging out a small pile of hay mixed with branches.

He took out a bag of flour cakes and a water bladder of purple jade, and sat on the edge of the haystack and watched the bad old man raise the fire.

The hay smoked for a while before it was lit, and Ziyu threw the bread and water bladder in her hand to the bad old man.

The bad old man couldn't wait to open the water bladder and pour a few sips of water, tighten the water bladder and put it in his arms.

He was busy forking the dough on a branch and baking it, waiting for the two pieces of dough to be in his stomach before slowing down.

"Childe, little old man is really hungry!

You're the third person I've met who is willing to give food, but you're the first to sit down and listen to me. ”

The bad old man turned the fire even bigger, added another twig, and took the initiative to talk self-deprecatingly.

"I am from Bailu Mountain, a small tribe in the midst of a million mountains, with a population of less than a hundred when I left.

I don't know what happens now, but we spend most of the year in snow and ice.

The conditions are extremely difficult, and it belongs to the junction with the White Cloud Country, with only a high mountain in between.

I climbed from that mountain back then, and I experienced nine deaths.

When I was young, I liked to wander around, and I always felt that I could break through the world, but when I was old, I was still lonely.

Because he has no face to return to the tribe, he has been wandering around all these years.

When I came out of the millions of mountains, I found a paradise in the mountains, which was a basin-like terrain.

It is surrounded by majestic mountains, and the water from the snow-capped mountains melts and falls into the valley to form a natural lake.

Outside the lake there is a large area of fertile land, and even more peculiar is a large mountain with a natural hole.

Out of the cave is a bay where fresh water and sea meet......"

Ziyu was thrilled when she heard this, wasn't that kind of terrain exactly what she wanted!

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, land, water, near the sea, and mountains, everything is the ideal place of her dreams.

"How many people know about the existence of that place?"

"Hehe, the only one who can really sit down and listen to the old man's words is Childe."

The bad old man, seeing that someone was interested in what he had said, began to tell in more detail, lest he miss a little.

"The area of the valley with the lake is about a thousand acres, and I measured it with my feet.

The surrounding mountains are full of old adult trees, and there are countless trees that the two of them hug together, and there are many wild things there. ”

Ziyu interrupted him with a wave of her hand, got up and took it out of the mule cart and unfolded it by the fire.

"Bring the windshield and tell me where it is."

"Childe, you have such a good picture, you can see at a glance what the place is.

Even the name of our tribe is there, and the place I am talking about should be the col behind this mountain.

It just so happened that the bay was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was not a single village to be found within a few dozen miles.

Even if there are villages, they are poor and small, and the nearest county seat is called Xin'an City, which is more than 200 miles away and five times smaller than Bali Town. ”

The bad old man was still chatting with Tu, but Ziyu looked at Tu and fell into deep thought.

Judging from the situation on the map, that boundary is at the junction of several remote tribes and the White Cloud Kingdom.

As long as there are large ships, you can go directly to Shangdu from the sea, which is more convenient and faster than land.

It can be said that there are no three areas, coupled with the high and steep mountains, and the harsh climate, naturally no one will live here.

According to the old man, the place is a good place, but force and infrastructure are indispensable.

To achieve these two things, it must be done with a lot of manpower and abundant funds.

"What do you think of the weather, old man?"

The bad old man was stunned by Ziyu's nonsensical words, and then reacted.

"Did Childe also notice that the weather was wrong?"

"I want to hear your opinion, after all, you have a lot of places to go, and you must have more knowledge than me."

"Oh, Childe is really asking the right person!

As far as I know, if there is heavy snow for too long, the growing season of the crops will be affected......"

Ziyu listened to the bad old man's words like a pyramid schemer, and knew that he must have a plan.

Otherwise, what to do with such a big circle for no reason.
