Taking the steamed bun in the young man's hand, Jin Guan and Song Yuan didn't care about the image, and began to gobble it up.

Then, I heard the boy ask, "Do you want to cross the river?"

At the same time, the three of them stopped playing steamed buns in their mouths, looked at the young man, and nodded their heads like pounded garlic.

"What are you going to do in the past?" The young man's tone was slightly vigilant and defensive, his eyes were dark, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if anything came to him, except for the change in his eyes, the smile at the corners of his mouth was still like a spring breeze, making people avoid a little while not defending the city.

"If you can, find a family and spend the night so that my companions can have a good rest!" Jin Guan pointed to the flower dynasty on the side and said sincerely: "If there is someone in the village who is good at medicine, I hope I can show her!"

"That's it?" the boy seemed skeptical.

"Look at the four of us, we traveled lightly, did not carry a lot of luggage, along the way, the dry food was also exhausted, and there was a sick person, there were no villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles, and we finally met you, little brother, why should we lie to you?" Song Yuan was on the side, bowed his hand, and then continued: "If the little brother can help us cross the river, if you have any needs in the future, we will do our best to repay you for your kindness today." ”

"In that case, come with me!"

The boy took the lead, reached the edge of the riverbank, crouched down, probed his hand over the stone wall of the bank, and then pulled out a rope with all his might.

I saw him lean back and pull the rope up hard, and as the rope grew longer and longer, a pontoon bridge slowly emerged above the waves.

The boy thrust a stake at one end of the rope into a stone crevice, and then shouted to Jinguan and them, "Follow me!" Jinguan hurriedly picked up Hua Chao, followed the boy, and stepped onto the pontoon.

As the young man walked, he urged: "Hurry up! The pontoon bridge can only float on the surface of the water for half an hour under the huge impact of the current!"

When they had left the pontoon one by one and had landed ashore, they looked back and found that the pontoon had sunk slowly, as the boy had said.

"This river is called the Hopeless River, which is the boundary river that separates our Mang Village from the outside world, surrounds the entire village, and here is the only passage that can be accessed. The bridge was the work of a master of Karakuri, and every time he found a mechanism on one side, he could pull the bridge up, but as the years passed, the mechanism was worn out badly, and now the pontoon bridge could only last on the surface of the water for half a quarter of an hour. The boy led the way in front of him, explaining to them as he could.

As he walked through the layers of red maple forests, the young man turned around and said, "After entering the village, if anyone talks to you, you must not agree, and do not look into their eyes!"

"Why?" asked Decay curiously.

The young man suddenly became serious and said, "There has been a strange disease in the village recently, if you look at the eyes of the infected patient, you will be infected and lose your mind!"

"Isn't it dangerous for us to go in?" said Decay in surprise, and then said worriedly, "Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go in?"

"So you must pay special attention tonight, after entering my house, don't come out again, and leave early tomorrow morning!" the young man instructed, and continued to lead the way.

In the long red maple forest, the maple leaves fell in seven and eight, and one leaf after another fell in front of their eyes, like crimson snow, like a fairyland in another world.

If it weren't for the words of the young man, she would have thought that she had entered a paradise, and she would be greeted by a kind old grandmother and strange and exotic beasts.

It wasn't until they left the red maple forest and actually entered the village that they realized that what the young man said was true.

There was a dead silence in the village, it was not yet dark, and every house had closed its doors, leaving not even a crack in the window.

The young man looked like he had long been accustomed to, lowered his head, didn't say a word, and walked forward vigorously.

Jin Guan carried Hua Chao on his back, also lowered his head, and followed behind the young man.

After a while, the boy walked to the front of a courtyard, stopped, stretched out his hand and knocked on the courtyard door three times, buckled twice, and slapped it five times with his palm.

There was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, a little hurried, and then the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman was greeted by her, who pointed to the young man's nose and scolded when she opened the door: "Dead boy, let you go to find herbs, you will come back after dark when you find it, you will die!"

"Mother, don't scold me first, I found the herb!"

The middle-aged woman didn't pay attention to the young man, but looked past the young man to Jinguan and them, and vigilantly pulled the young man behind her to protect him.

"You're—"

Song Yuan took a step forward, bowed and said, "Auntie, we are passing by here and want to spend the night, I don't know if it is convenient?"

"It's inconvenient!" said as he stretched out his hand to send off the guest, "You better hurry up!" turned around, and began to count the young man again, "What did my mother tell you, don't let people from outside come into Mangcun, are you going out without brains!"

The young man grabbed the middle-aged woman's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Mother, one of them is going to die, you can take a look!"

Hearing this, the woman looked at the person on Jinguan's back, and was a little surprised to see a mist-like red glimmer around her.

"She's not an ordinary person?"

The woman's question made Jinguan stunned. Since it can be seen that Hua Chao is not very human, the woman in front of him should not be an ordinary person. Will she ......

"Why did my aunt say that?"

Facing Jin Guan's vigilance, the woman smiled, walked straight to him, reached out to probe Hua Chao's forehead, grabbed her wrist and felt her pulse carefully, and said: "The people of Mangcun have been practicing medicine for generations, and they have never seen any fairy grass spirit beasts." However, this poppy is a good thing!"

The woman in front of her, who didn't look special, could not only see that Hua Chao was not very human, but could even see what her body was, which was really amazing. Could it be that this person is a person from the Xianmen who lives here?

Jin Guan looked at the woman carefully, and saw that although she did not apply powder, her skin was fairer than snow, and her moisture was abnormal, especially the hands that best reflected her age, and there was no sign of aging at all.

None of the well-maintained concubines in the palace could reach such a point.

"Come in with me!" the woman put down Hua Chao's hand, walked ahead, and continued, "For more than ten years, you are one of the few people who have been able to come to Mangcun, but you happen to encounter such a period, and you are a little lucky! ”

Jin Guan and his entourage followed the woman into the courtyard gate, and were really shocked by the scene in front of them.
