The man was immediately startled and quickly turned his head to look back.

I don't know when, but an elderly man appeared behind him.

The old man wore a cyan outer hat and a satin shirt that was rare in recent years, and said to him with a kind smile, "Young man, don't be surprised, the old man is not a bad person. ”

The man looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the old man angrily, and said, "Uncle, you almost scared me to death." ”

The old man laughed when he heard this, and he didn't care about the offense between his words.

He inadvertently glanced at the second brother who the man put away, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Hey, young man, I see that you and your group are in the dust, but you are going there? After leaving Beiguan Mountain, the road is getting more and more difficult to walk. ”

The old man asked casually as if he were doing something homely.

The man immediately replied, "If you don't want to go, you can't do it, who let the order be given from above." Uncle, do you know how good the road to Fuchang is?"

The old man immediately laughed when he heard this, and the black hair growing on his cheeks became darker and brighter, and he said with a smile, "It's good, it's good." ”

"Haha, young man, then we'll see you later. The old man will go back and prepare, and he will definitely give you his treasure. ”

After speaking, the old man went to the mountain forest next to him, and disappeared in an instant.

The man looked at his departing figure, his expression becoming more and more confused.

After a while, he suddenly had a spirit, suddenly came to his senses, looked up at the sky and said to himself, "Suffer, why did I pee for so long, I don't know if I will be criticized by that kid when I go back?"

He muttered as he walked back quickly, forgetting the old man he had just met.

On the side of the mountain road, the group was still resting in the shade, and the man immediately straightened his waist and walked into the crowd.

"What does it smell like?"

"It's not like ghosts, it's not like popularity, but it has a strange fishy smell. ”

Zhang Jiao in the crowd suddenly had a twitch in his nose, he lowered his head to distinguish for a moment, and immediately smelled the source of the smell.

He looked at the man who had just walked into the crowd, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He didn't have this strange smell before, and as soon as he went out for a spin, the aura on his body changed. Is this something unclean? Or will Sanyang take the opportunity to insert people in the middle of the way?"

Zhang Jiao's thoughts diverged for a while, and various ideas and speculations kept popping up in his mind.

Subconsciously, he became more and more cautious in his every move, ready to see what kind of medicine this was selling?

The sun is slanting.

After resting for half an hour, Liu Hao finally couldn't hold back his mood and urged everyone to get up and hurry up.

Only then did everyone get up and follow him in the direction of Fuchang.

The mountain road is rugged, but it is difficult to walk.

After nearly two hours, it was nearly evening.

The group walked under a dry mountain stream,

Liu Hao looked at the sky, and the heat in his heart faded a lot.

He said to the crowd, "It's getting dark, let's look and see if there's a good place to spend the night nearby." ”

The crowd immediately received the order and scattered around to investigate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you looking for a place to stay?"

At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the side.

Everyone immediately looked towards the sound, but saw an old man in a blue shirt and a satin coat asked them with a smile, and there was a gray-clothed little man next to him.

Everyone immediately looked towards Liu Hao, waiting for his instructions.

"In this chaotic year, and in this place where there is no village and no store, an old man suddenly appears and invites you to his house as a guest, and it is impossible for anyone to respond directly. Only the kind of stunned young people who have just gone out and don't understand the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes will agree without heart and lungs, and most of their fate will be made into bun filling. ”

Liu Hao is naturally not this kind of person, he clenched his fists with both hands like a Jianghu guest, and said to the old man, "We have received the old man's wishes, but there are many of us in our group, so we won't go to your mansion to disturb." ”

With that, he glanced at everyone and motioned for them to leave here first.

Everyone immediately gathered together and prepared to leave.

At this time, a man who had just rushed over from the foot of the mountain next to him looked at the old man and suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Xiao, are you Uncle Xiao Shengkui?"

The old man immediately let out a "huh" and looked at the man who made the sound.

"Which doll are you? How do you know the name of the old man?"

The man immediately walked over happily and bowed to the old man, "The younger one is the younger generation of Li Jiagou, named Li Gui." At the beginning, I saw your old man a few times at the meeting. ”

"Lao Li's baby!"

The old man patted Li Gui's head, said with tears in his eyes, and said with emotion, "Okay, good." It's rare to see fellow villagers these days, so I must go to my uncle's house today to sit down, and let's have a good chat. ”

As he spoke, he shouted to the crowd behind, "But it's fate, I didn't expect to meet my fellow villagers here, please come to the humble house to rest for a night, and let our uncle and nephew have a chance to chat, thank you here." ”

After speaking, the old man grabbed Li Gui's hand and walked towards the path behind the mountain with him indistinguishable.

As he walked, he asked, "How many people are there in Lijiagou now?" ”

......

Here, Liu Hao looked at Li Gui, who had already walked away, with a helpless look on his face.

He thought for a while, and then said to everyone, "Then let's go to Uncle Li Gui's house tonight to disturb you." ”

There was an immediate cheer from the crowd.

In this early spring, it is very good to have a house to spend the night in this barren mountain range.

As for whether the other party had bad intentions, they also let down most of their vigilance after Li Gui recognized the identity of the other party.

First, some of their own people know each other, and secondly, a group of them are young and strong guys, and they are not afraid of each other's dying old men.

Everyone immediately started to move up the mountain road.

Zhang Jiao fell to the back, his nose twitching towards the place where the old man had just stayed.

After a moment, he suddenly whispered to himself, "It's the smell of a living person, too." ”

After that, he followed, but he wanted to see what kind of dragon gate formation was being placed.

It's just that before leaving, a yin wind suddenly blew by him, and Zhang Jiao's eyes instantly turned bloody.

Blood flashed, and countless handwriting flickered in it, and finally the handwriting turned into a single word, which dripped from his eye socket and was buried in the ground he had just walked.

The group followed the old man, walked on the path on the side of the mountain, turned left and right, but never saw the road again.

As far as the eye can see, there are strange and steep mountain rocks.

Pine and cypress trees grow from all corners of the mountain rocks, and at night, looking at it from afar, people can't help but feel palpitations.

The group couldn't help but twist their necklines, only to feel that the mountains were becoming more and more cold and lonely.

Liu Hao subconsciously had some feelings in his heart, and he was about to remind everyone.

But when he saw the old man walking, he suddenly turned his head and said with a warm smile, "Don't worry, you're about to arrive." The old house is specially built in the middle of nowhere, after all, these days, our little people still live in the middle of nowhere, and it is safer. You say don't you?"

Li Gui, who was beside him, immediately replied, "Since this is the case, Uncle Xiao still has foresight." ”

The old man smiled heartily when he heard this, and he didn't say much, but his face was full of pride.

Liu Hao also relaxed slightly.

After turning the corner of a mountain and walking half a mile, their eyes suddenly opened up.

I saw that at the foot of the strange rocky pine forest, a row of slightly simple houses appeared in everyone's eyes.

At a cursory glance, there are more than 20 rooms.

Around the house, a fence encloses it high, and there are many fields that have been reclaimed around it, and several figures dressed as servants are busy working between the fields.

The old man pointed to the house and said kindly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

After speaking, with the support of the little girl, he walked towards the small village in front of him.

Liu Hao looked at the village in front of him that seemed to be a paradise, and the doubts in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and then quickly followed everyone to catch up.

Zhang Jiao looked at the figure of everyone walking into the village, and then looked back, but saw that the mountain wind blew the pine forest, and in the cold, ugly faces appeared in the forest.

He covered his nose slightly, but walked in with him.

In the largest house in the village.

As soon as everyone stepped into the main room, they were immediately shocked by the furnishings in front of them.

The first thing to think of was the brown table of the interior furnishings, on which was placed a small green bronze stove, in which the charcoal fire was red, and the faint smell of sandalwood emanated from it, filling the whole room.

Above the brown mantle case, there is a large landscape painting hanging, and two nanmu chairs are arranged on both sides, but it looks atmospheric and rich.

Under the gauze cover of the screens on both sides, the oil lamps are transparent, reflecting the whole house in a magnificent manner, which is not much more than the Lichun Courtyard in Beiguanzhong.

Where had this group of bitter haha seen such a scene, and they immediately looked straight in the eyes.

The old man didn't care about their ugliness, and immediately let go of the hand that the little guy was holding, and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat, and I will order someone to serve you something to eat." ”

After saying that, he turned his head and said to the little servant on the side, "Tell the kitchen, prepare the banquet, I will entertain the guests." ”

The little guy immediately nodded, bowed and walked out.

Everyone sat cautiously on the high-backed chairs on both sides, and there was a lot of restraint in their expressions.

Liu Hao looked at the furniture in front of him, and the last trace of worry in his heart finally disappeared, and was replaced by a trace of annoyance and urgency.

"As a hall master, I shouldn't have shown any disrespect!"

He kept recalling the bits and pieces since he came into contact with the old man, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back, I saw that the desk in front of me was already full of pastries and dried fruits.

After four somewhat wooden servants came to the front of the hall with two large round tables and set them up, a cook lady came up with one dish after another, and filled each seat with wine by the way.

The aroma of wine overflowed, and instantly covered the sandalwood fragrance in the room.

Several members were even more aroused, and subconsciously swallowed two saliva.

Liu Hao immediately looked over, his expression was full of unkindness, and the warning was full.

"Don't be so blind, you will lose the face of my Sanyang Society in vain. ”

The old man didn't seem to see it, he slowly walked to the banquet, beckoned everyone to sit down, and then held the wine glass and said to everyone, "Meeting is fate, let's go one." ”

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and turned the wine glass upside down for everyone to see.

Liu Hao immediately stood up, took the cup and thanked the old man, "Today, I thank the old man for his hospitality." ”

After speaking, he also drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

In an instant, Liu Hao's cheeks were flushed.

The old man immediately called someone to fill it up for him, and under repeated persuasion, another cup was poured into his stomach.

On the table, seeing that Liu Hao, the hall master, had already started, everyone who had long been unable to hold back immediately grabbed their chopsticks and stuffed them up.

Zhang Jiao mixed in the crowd and also moved his chopsticks.

He had sniffed the delicacies of the wine, but he had added nothing else.

After the third round of drinking, everyone on the table looked confused, and they seemed to be drunk for seven or eight points.

The old man saw that the time was almost up, but after adding another round of wine to everyone, he changed his voice and said.

"Actually, I invite you to come today, but I have a different mind, and I ask you to forgive your sins. ”

The people who were drunk in a daze were suddenly startled when they heard this, and their minds were suddenly flustered, only a few people who were still laughing stupidly because they were not strong enough to drink.

The old man was unaware of it, and continued, "I am sixty and three this year, and I have no children under my knees, but I have four daughters. ”

"Lao Yu hereby promises that as long as any of you here is willing to join my Lao Xiao family, after a hundred years, I am willing to share my family wealth with my sons-in-law. ”

As he spoke, he introduced his property in detail, and by the way, he continued to add wine to everyone present.

All of a sudden, everyone present was fascinated by what they heard, and their minds were turning, and they couldn't wait to be his son-in-law directly.

The old man looked at everyone on the field, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and ordered the little girl next to him, "Go, invite the four young ladies up, and let you see if the daughter of my old Xiao family is a top beauty." ”

The servant immediately walked to the side room.

Zhang Jiao's heart suddenly moved, and the head of a little ghost suddenly appeared under his feet.

The earth ghost immediately jumped into the earth and chased after the little guy.

The little maid walked to the right, and soon came to a side room behind the main hall, and said without emotion, "Miss, the master called you to go and pick a son-in-law." ”

A monkey-like chirp was immediately remembered in the room.

"Hurry up, bring me my clothes. I'm going to pick a husband. ”

"Don't rob it, it's obviously my clothes, sister, you're bullying me again. ”

The earth ghost crept out of the ground, lay on the edge of the wall, and peeked into the house.

But I saw five ape-like creatures with long black hair and a bone on each side of the nose bone, like a big horse monkey, sitting next to the bronze mirror, constantly painting red cheeks and drawing eyebrows in front of the mirror.

Nearby, an ape, much smaller than the other four, was shouting noisily.

"Eldest sister, eldest sister, I also want to choose a husband to marry. You've been married twice this month, so it's my turn. ”

The big horse monkey next to him who was sipping red paper immediately touched its head, and said with a smile, "Little sister, don't worry, wait for another two years, let's marry five sisters together, you wait now, and when the spring of the next year comes, the sisters will keep you and let you marry." ”

Another big horse monkey next to him also smiled and said, "It's pole, it's pole." I will never forget you when the time comes. This year, let's take advantage of the cheap sisters. You don't know that this time in the spring, it is itchy and uncomfortable to death. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't easy to feel sorry for my father, I really wanted to get married once a day. ”

The pony monkey looked at his sisters enviously,

In the squeaky laughter, four well-dressed and well-dressed "beauties" have already walked out.

......

: There are Gan giants in the deep ravine, with a human face and long arms, a black body with hair, a heel nose, and a smile when you see people, covering your face. However, he was sexually tyrannical and very adulterous, and often took people captive in the mountains and forests to be his room.
