NO.011 OVERNIGHT STAY
After that, the two zombies had also finished eating, but the belly capacity of the zombies was still too small, and the huge giant biao was only a few tenths of the size of being eaten.
Originally, Gu Zhan planned to leave immediately, after all, the smell of blood was likely to attract other demon beasts, but he keenly found that after eating Ju Biao, the breath of venom and witches more than doubled compared to before!
Gu Zhan was immediately overjoyed, it turned out that the demon beast was full of treasures, although the effect of flesh and blood was much worse than that of the demon pill, but it was not comparable to ordinary flesh and blood, no wonder these two zombies had to tear off a piece of flesh from each other.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhan suddenly changed his attention, he took out the storage bag, ordered the witch to put Jubiao's body in it, and then went on the road satisfied.
............
Three days later, when the trees in front of him turned from dense to thin again, Gu Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, which was a symbol that he had reached the edge of the forest.
It seems that this forest is not big, but it took more than ten days to come out, if it wasn't for Gu Zhan wasting a lot of time in an unfamiliar direction, I'm afraid it could have been a few days earlier.
However, it is precisely because the forest is not big that there are not too many demon beasts, otherwise with his current strength, it is still two to say whether he can come out alive.
Sure enough, in the evening, the density of trees in front of Gu Zhan's eyes was extremely thin, and the sunlight could penetrate without any scruples, illuminating Gu Zhan's whole body warmly.
There was a faint smoke rising from a mountain not far away, it seemed that there was a human village in front of him, Gu Zhan was overjoyed, and walked towards the front even harder, he wanted to go to the human village before the sun went down, and then completely integrate into the Anthropocene realm, which was a necessary part of his contact with the body refiner.
When he had already walked to the vicinity of the village, Gu Zhan suddenly took out the clothes in the storage bag and changed them for himself, and then took a bath by the river to wash away the bloody smell of his body, and then removed the clothes of the two zombies that were almost rotten to rags, and also freshened up by the river.
The witch didn't care, Gu Zhan took out a dagger to cut off the witch's hair, and then found a high-necked male shirt to cover the wound on the witch's neck, and the nails that were several inches long were also covered by the cuffs, and suddenly, the witch became a handsome young offspring.
Gu Zhan was still afraid that he would not be safe, and he knew that the appearance of the world was sometimes a condition for causing trouble, so he picked up the yellow mud again and smeared it on the other party's face a few times, and then he put his mind at ease.
But Venom is different, it looks like a ghost, and anyone who sees it is not scared to the point of urine. In desperation, Gu Zhan had no choice but to pull out a piece of kincloth, wrap Venom's face, and then make two small holes in his eyes......
As for the witch's blood-red eyes, Gu Zhan also thought of a rhetoric, just prevaricate with the statement of the stranger in the Western Regions, whatever strange things appear in martial arts dramas are said to be from the Western Regions, and I believe that ordinary villagers can't find evidence.
By the time the preparations were completed and the sun had set, Gu Zhan finally came to the front of the village.
The village is surrounded by low earthen walls, which seem to have more psychological effects than protection, and it is only at night that no one can be seen.
He picked a large hut and began to knock.
As there was a knock on the door, a dog barked from inside the door.
"Who is it so late?" After a while, there was a voice of an old and hoarse old woman, but it did not open the door immediately.
"Auntie, we are from another village, passing by here, we want to spend the night, and we will leave tomorrow!" Gu Zhan deliberately said in a tone with a local flavor.
Only then did the door squeak open, and a kind old woman in a navy blue cloth shirt and a yellow earth dog appeared inside the door.
The old woman squinted her cloudy eyes, looked at Gu Zhan carefully, and saw Gu Zhan's honest appearance, so she said, "It's humid at night, you come in first, don't catch a cold." ”
"What a lady!" Gu Zhan showed a grateful look, and at the same time secretly suppressed the natural reaction of the two zombies who wanted to pounce on the living when they saw them.
"Hey, who are these two behind you?" When she walked into the house, the old woman saw that there were two more people behind Gu Zhan, and the strange dress of the two of them made her a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid, auntie, this is my friend, they are from the Western Regions, and they can't understand our language. Gu Zhan immediately explained, pointing to Venom, "Come here to prepare for business!"
"Oh, no wonder you are dressed so novelly...... the old woman nodded with some suspicion, at this time she found that the earth dog she raised was still barking hard, and suddenly said strangely, "It's really strange, the old rhubarb is usually very well-behaved, and the guests don't call as soon as they enter the house, but today I don't know what's going on, and I can't stop calling until now......"
"Maybe it's because we're dressed so strangely. Gu Zhan hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, auntie, you are alone in your family, and the others are the others?"
When the old woman heard this, her eyes immediately darkened, and she wept and said, "I wasn't a ...... who was originally an old woman" Suddenly, the old woman opened the conversation and began to tell her experience.
It turned out that the old woman used to be from a neighboring village, and later married into this family. This family is a family of Orions, and compared with ordinary villagers, they are relatively wealthy, but who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances, one day the husband and son went hunting in the forest together, but never came back, until other Orions entered the forest, only to find the two of them were gnawed into the corpses of inhuman shape. As a result, only she and her mother-in-law were left in the family.
Now many years have passed, and then her mother-in-law died, and now she is the only one left alone.
Gu Zhan didn't feel anything in his heart, and any person in the last days who was more miserable than her was miserable, but on the surface, Gu Zhan still did enough, immediately stood up, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Auntie, you wait, I'll give you water and wash your clothes now, and you can't eat and live in vain for one night in your house!"
"Okay, good!" the old woman opened her mouth with relief, "but don't worry, let's wait until you all eat and get a good night's sleep." ”
"Auntie, you don't have to be busy, I and the two of them have already eaten dry food, as long as we get some sleep!" Gu Zhan hurriedly waved his hand, zombies don't eat ordinary people's food, even if Gu Zhan orders them to eat, they won't eat, that is a kind of instinctive resistance of life.
In order to prevent the enthusiastic old woman from really cooking for him, Gu Zhan directly sent the old woman back to his room, and then ordered the two zombies and himself to come to the courtyard and fetch buckets of water in front of the well.
Gu Zhan's current strength, not to mention a few buckets of water, is easy to directly put up the water tank, but in the time of a few incense sticks, most of the person-high water tanks are filled with clean water.
At this time, the earth dog stopped barking, but wagged its tail and circled around the soles of Gu Zhan's feet. Gu Zhan didn't care, and spent another half an hour washing the clothes accumulated by the old woman's family.
After that, he and the two zombies entered the old woman's son's room, and then locked the door to prevent the two zombies from getting out of control and biting people after he fell asleep.
It was only at this time that Gu Zhan felt tired, and he had been hurrying for more than ten days, even the physique of the zombies was a little unbearable, Gu Zhan lay on the bed and stretched comfortably, secretly planning to ask where the nearest city was tomorrow, as well as the customs and folklore nearby, and then fell asleep......
............
Early the next morning, Gu Zhan was awakened by the sound of pots and pans, and the cautious habits of the last days Gu Zhan still did not change, he immediately got up, controlled the two zombies to follow him, and then walked out of the door.
"Auntie, don't be busy, leave it to me!" After Gu Zhan went out, he saw the old woman who was making breakfast at a glance, and immediately snatched the old woman's long spoon without saying a word, and began to cook skillfully.
The old woman was robbed of her tools, but she was even happier, her deflated mouth grinned, and she smiled, "You kid ......"
"Auntie, it's not me who said, don't look at me who looks five big and three thick, in fact, I am very good at cooking, when I was young, I always cooked for my father and mother who went to the ground!"
When the meal was ready, Gu Zhan refused the other party's invitation, saying that the three of them had already eaten dry food, and the old woman said it several times, and when she saw that he insisted, she stopped persuading.
Gu Zhan sent the two zombies back to the house, and he chatted with the old woman, and on the way, Gu Zhan said a lot of good things, which made the old woman unable to close her mouth. After reaching the most lucrative, Gu Zhan finally got to the point.
"Auntie, the three of us want to go to the city to do business this time, but we got lost, and I don't know where the town is closest to here?"
"If you want to be in the town, it still belongs to the Fire Phoenix City in the south, there are many people, and if you do business, it is the best place. The old woman was very enthusiastic about the idea. "But be careful of the bandits, these years are not peaceful, it is difficult to live a good life, it is better to wait for me to talk to the village chief, let you join the team of our village into the city, the team will set off in two or three days." ”
Gu Zhan naturally rejected the old woman's kindness, he was followed by two zombies, where did he dare to mix with the crowd? Gu Zhan is not afraid of bandits and the like, Gu Zhan is only afraid of those cultivators now, but the number of cultivators is so rare, some people just can't meet one in their lifetime, and this worry is a bit redundant.
After asking the route, Gu Zhan helped the old woman do some farm work, and then got up to say goodbye, before leaving, the old woman was quite reluctant, and kept muttering words such as "It's rare to see a sincere child like you this year", and sent the three of them to the entrance of the village.
"Fire Phoenix City is about two hundred kilometers away from here, which is already very close, and I can get there in about three or four days with my footsteps, but it's a pity that the spirit stones have been eaten, and I can't continue to enhance my strength during this time, I hope to find the clues to obtain the spirit stones and contact the body refiners as soon as possible after entering the city......
Gu Zhan shook his head and hit the road again.
