Chapter 1017: Dahuaishu Village
Taibai lost 20,000 taels of silver, and his heart was always blocked. He didn't eat last night, and was woken up early in the morning to go on the road.
Cang Bai also told him that Yunzhu was in poor health and might not be able to survive.
Although he didn't care much about Yunzhu's life or death, he always felt that this was not a good sign.
Once on the road, Nan Zhaoxue didn't discuss the route with him. The carriage went so fast that he tossed around in the carriage and almost fainted.
Finally, it was almost noon, and they were in the wilderness again. They were familiar with the road, and they cooperated tacitly, and they were able to eat quickly.
The fire was not even lit here in Taibai, but everyone else was almost finished eating.
Later, I simply gave up and ate some dry food that I had prepared. There was no fire to heat hot water, so I had to make do with herbal tea.
The weather is already obviously chilly now. After drinking herbal tea and the wind blowing, Taibai can't help but shiver.
Before he could catch his breath, Nan Zhaoxue set off again.
Taibai was almost depressed to death. Who was following whom?
Driving fast all the way, when it was getting close to evening, Taibai couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up the car curtains and his voice was shaking: "Princess, can... can we... take a rest...?"
Yan Luodao turned to look at his car: "Sir, don't worry, there is a village ahead. Let's stay there for the night. If we insist, we will have to sleep in the wild again if we are delayed."
When Taibai heard that he had to sleep in the wild again, he retracted his head again.
After finally reaching the entrance of the village, the carriage slowed down.
Taibai took a deep breath, picked up the car curtain and looked at Yan Luodao, who was walking at the back.
"Brother Yan."
Yan Luodao reined in the horse: "Is something wrong?"
Taibai smiled lightly: "I remember the first time I met my little brother, it was in that mountain village. I had a lot of friends. I haven't had a drink together since then. I wonder if there is a chance tonight?"
Yan Luodao nodded: "Okay, I will settle down later and ask my princess, I think it will be okay."
"well."
Yan Luodao followed the team again, and Bai Zhan rubbed his head, feeling a bit cold from the wind: "What is he looking for you for?"
"It's close," Yan Luodao whispered, "I rolled my eyelids by mistake. Who cares, I have nothing to do anyway, just tease him for fun."
Bai Zhan rolled his eyes: "Xiao Dao, look, they used their beauty to plant some kind of hero on our side. Can you think of a way to join their team?"
Yan Luodao's throat rolled: "Brother Bai Zhan, do you think I look like a sex dealer?"
"It's not bad," Bai Zhan touched his face, "I'm too handsome. I don't look like a spy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Otherwise, I would give it a try."
Yan Luodao lowered his eyes and glanced at the tiger skin skirt around his waist, and said in a soft and cold voice: "Brother Bai Zhan, why don't you wrap your tiger skin skirt around your head."
Bai Zhan touched his head: "What a good idea. My hair is still short, so it's a bit cold."
"Not really," Yan Luodao said calmly, but could not hide his anger, "I think the wind was too strong and blew your brain away."
Bai Zhan: "..."
Dahuaishu Village, as the name suggests, there is a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, with lush branches and leaves, like a giant umbrella covering the sky and the sun.
Especially at night, when even the stars and moon are obscured, the wind blows through the thick green branches and leaves, making a rustling sound.
Taibai lifted his collar, feeling that this place was eerie.
There were not many households in the village, only seven or eight scattered households. It was not too late at this time, and the lights were scattered.
Yum knocked on one of the doors.
A man in his forties came out: "What's going on?"
"Brother, we are on our way. I wonder if we can stay overnight?"
The man looked at them and said, "It's possible, but my house is simple and there aren't that many people. It can't accommodate so many people."
"It doesn't matter, we can accommodate as many as we can. If it doesn't work out, we'll just live on the carriage and have a place to rest."
The man opened the door and let them in.
The originally small courtyard was suddenly filled with people.
Another young man in his twenties walked out of the house: "Brother, this is..."
"Oh, these are people passing by for the night," the man turned around and said to Nan Zhaoxue and the others, "This is my brother, he lives next door. If you don't mind, let's live separately."
That's okay.
Nan Zhaoxue glanced at Taibai, who glanced at the next courtyard from the corner of his eyes. It seemed to be better than here.
"Then you stay here, and we leave and live over there." He quickly ordered himself to go next door.
Nan Zhaoxue didn't force it either.
People on both sides separated and packed their things to prepare.
Nan Zhaoxue entered the main house. The outside of the house didn't look very good, but the inside was neatly tidied, and even the quilt on the bed was new.
There was still warmth in the room, and it was obvious that the brazier had just been placed and taken away.
Yum stood in the outer room, and the man came forward to salute: "My subordinates pay homage to the commander."
Yum waved her hand: "No need to be polite, the princess is here, safety is the first priority, prepare the food first, the princess will have her own instructions later."
"yes."
The man went out, quickly brought the food, opened the waiter table, and carried it to the back room.
Nan Zhaoxue stopped him and signaled Yum Sheng to invite Feng Tianji.
Others are also in the side room, eating their own meals.
Master Yukong looked at the bowl and then watched Feng Tianji enter the room.
Bai Zhan pushed the tiger skin skirt on his head and watched Feng Tianji enter the house.
Yan Luodao held the bowl and silently stayed away from the two of them.
"Tell me, how is the situation in the village?" Nan Zhaoxue asked.
"In response to the princess," the man replied, "there are eight households in the village, all of which are ours. The original residents have all moved seven miles north."
"Is there anything unusual lately?"
"No, I occasionally have people passing by to stay overnight, but there's nothing wrong with it."
Nan Zhaoxue nodded, "The house next door..."
"It's all according to the princess's instructions, don't worry."
"So good."
The man exited, Nan Zhaoxue and Feng Tianji sat down to eat, and motioned for Yum to sit down.
"Are they the people you put here early in the morning?" Nan Zhaoxue asked.
"Well," Feng Tianji handed her a piece of chopsticks, "Like the people who were placed at Song Zhao's place, they all retired from the battlefield, but they had lost their homes and families, so I will arrange something suitable for them.
The place to go.”
"I passed by this village on my way back to Beijing. At that time, the village was haunted," Feng Tianji smiled. "I don't believe there are ghosts in the world. After staying there for one night, I found out that it was man-made. But the murderer took too long to commit the crime.
A lot of them were buried.”
He paused: "Guess where the corpses are buried?"
Nan Zhaoxue thought for a while: "Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village."
"Yes, Xue'er is smart, so the villagers don't want to live here.
I gave them a sum of money as settlement expenses, and the local government also provided some money to help them move seven miles away from the village.
This place has become deserted, and I just have a few people left."
I see.
Nan Zhaoxue's eyebrows slightly arched: "Eat quickly, and go to bed early after eating. Let's have some fun at midnight."
