Chapter 279: Sesame Opens the Door
As soon as several people saw the smoke, it was like being injected with chicken blood, drinking stimulants, and injecting cardiac injections. Walking turned into running, and a puff of smoke ran towards the cooking smoke.
Leaving Nangong Xi behind, no one has said hello to the old man yet, and even Zhang Wangxi has forgotten the existence of the master.
Nangong Xi just smiled and followed behind everyone unhurriedly. If he wants to catch up with a few hairy guys, it's easy, but he doesn't need to compete with them, young people are the age of excitement, so let them get excited.
Nangong Xi still has a layer of hidden worries. In recent days, there has not been a trace of Ba Dan and Zhou Fa, and this clue seems to have been broken suddenly.
Whether this direction is right or wrong, he has no bottom in his heart.
He also thought of a deeper layer, whether Dong Qilang's plan was wrong, this method is also similar to looking for a needle in a haystack, if people really don't let you find it, you may not be able to find it.
But everyone has made a decision, and he is the leader of a group, so he must obey and work hard first, and as for the effect, it will only be known when he does it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, I am afraid that only the ghost knows about this effect.
Just as he was thinking about it, the four people in front of him had gone far away, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. Walking less than two miles along a slope, in a mountain col, you can really see the smoke of cooking.
At this time, the fog in the mountains is getting thicker, the twilight is four, and even the figures can not be distinguished from each other at a distance, but the cooking smoke is particularly eye-catching, because this is the time for the mountain people to eat dinner, and there are bursts of meat fragrance wafting from the cooking smoke.
The four of them had already walked outside the thatched hut where smoke was emitting.
Mo Xingxing shouted a few times to the thatched house, but the firewood door was closed, no one opened the door and came out, not even a dog was seen, and not a single chicken was missing, maybe the owner did not feed the chickens and dogs. Or maybe the dog goes out to play, and the chicken has already entered the chicken house.
The four of them didn't dare to enter the door of someone's house rashly, and they all stood outside the door waiting for Nangong Xi, waiting for their team leader.
Nangong Xi then went to the outside of the thatched house, and saw everyone standing in place, he hadn't asked anything about the situation, Mo Xingxing reported to him first:
"Nan Zhangmen, obviously we saw the smoke of the cooking, and also smelled the smell of meat, I shouted a few times, no one inside came out to open the door, there must be someone here, just don't open the door, do you want to go in? Everyone is so hungry that they can't stand it. ”
Nangong Xi glared at him, looked at the surrounding situation, and said:
"You frames, like a few starving ghosts, with swords and canes, are frightened when they see it, and they all stand aside. I'll give it a try. ”
Everyone stood aside as he asked.
Nangong Xi approached the door, stood sideways, and gently knocked on the door a few times with his right hand, but no one answered, and no one came over to open the door. Nangong Xi looked through the crack in the door, and there seemed to be a figure flashing, but because of the dim light in the room, he couldn't see the real situation inside.
He withdrew and said to everyone:
"There's someone in the house, you can be sure. I had just seen a figure flash in front of me through the crack in the door. But why didn't he come out and open the door, I don't know why. I guess a few of you scared people as soon as they came.
"You think, even if people are not afraid of us, when we see that there are so many of them, whether it is food or housing, it is a big problem, who sees who is not afraid.
"But today we have to disturb people anyway, after this village there is no such shop, we will go to other places to find food and accommodation, I don't say you know, how difficult it is. ”
Nangong Xi looked at the tired looks on everyone's faces, thought for a while and said:
"The man goes to call, the average person should be more vigilant, I think, let the moon in the water call, try it. Girls have a natural advantage in this regard. Try to be as gentle as possible, you don't need me to teach you this, right?"
Shui Zhongyue didn't say anything, walked forward, and knocked lightly on the door a few times, but the door was still closed. She knocked a few more times, but still didn't come out.
Mo Xingxing was a little out of breath, and was about to open his mouth and shout loudly.
Nangong Xi took a look, it is always not good to force it like this, and you must also prevent others from doing your way, after all, you are an outsider, as the saying goes, "a strong dragon is difficult to fight a snake", there is no need to make a big move.
He made a silent action in time to stop Mo Xing's reckless behavior. And signaled the moon in the water to shout.
Shui Yue made his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted to the door:
"Anyone? Anyone? We're on the wrong side, come here to find something to eat, to spend the night, anyone?"
No one agreed, and Nangong Xi motioned to continue.
Shui Zhongyue continued to shout three more times, and then finally heard an old man's trembling voice through the crack in the door:
"We don't have anything to eat here, and we can't live here. You'd better find another place. Please. ”
"Uncle, open the door, okay? We're not bad people. Can we borrow it for one night without food?"
Mizuki continued to speak into the crack in the door. Mo Xing raised his fist several times to smash the door open, but was stopped by Nangong Xi with a stern look.
"Whether you're good or bad, I don't know. But someone won't allow us to provide a place for the grandfathers to live, so you might as well find someone else. There are people not far ahead. ”
The old man's voice trembled even more in the crack in the door.
When Nangong Xi heard the old man say that someone did not allow his family to take in a few of them, he felt too strange in his heart. Who knew they were going to this place? Yes, this person must have been Ba Dan and Zhou Fa, at least one of them.
The clue that was broken was picked up again. Now he came to his senses, and finally found a little clue, how could he let go?
When Nangong Xi heard this, he took the initiative to step forward and said to the old man inside the door:
"Don't be afraid, uncle. We're here to catch the bad guy who came to your house first, you open the door first, and I'll tell you, you make it clear. ”
I didn't hear the old man in the house, and everyone heard the rustling of walking in the distance.
Mo Xingxing, Lu Zhengtong and Zhang Wangxi showed their weapons at the same time. The five of them looked at the voice, and after a while, a figure appeared on the edge of the mountain forest fifty meters from the house. It was as if he had a weapon on his shoulder.
Although the twilight has completely covered the entire mountain, even the hut is in the fog, and it is difficult to recognize the faces of people five meters away, but adults are martial arts practitioners, and their eyesight is better than ordinary people, even if they are fifty meters away, it is no problem to see the human figure.
The five of them didn't think about whether to hide and let this person come, or to stand still and see what he did when he came.
"Daddy, wild boar...... Who?"
Before the word "who" fell, the person turned over and ran.
It seems that this man must be the son of the old man in the house, probably returning from a hunting trip, and his eyesight is very good.
Before the people reached the hut, they shouted at the hut and asked if the wild boar was cooked, but they didn't expect anyone to be there, probably because they were afraid, so they ran away.
Nangong Xi thought that this was the old man's son, and it would help the whole thing to chase him back, so he shouted in a low voice:
"Chase!"
Mo Xingxing and Zhang Wangxi chased after him with a sword.
