Chapter 102 The Woman and the Cave(1/2)
One hundred thousand mountains.
Tree trunks are inserted unevenly on the soil, like chains standing across the body. It takes time and effort to walk, and it is easy to trip if you are not careful.
Nan Ke and others walked for another hour, and the trees in front suddenly faded down, unable to cover the dark side of their heads anymore, revealing the moon like a disc.
The speed gradually slowed down, and even Nan Ke gradually felt a little short of breath when he ran so hard.
Gu Ling is of higher rank, but when he picks up someone, his posture makes him feel awkward to run; secondly, the mountain is too high, and he is afraid that something will really happen.
“How far is it?”
Gu Ling stopped. She regretted it now. She didn't wear a corset underwear. Although she was wearing a good silk dress, it still hurts a little when rubbing it like this.
Qing'er was 'run' for a while, and he recovered and struggled to get off, "Madam, I'm fine, I can come down and leave by myself."
"What can be presented?"
Gu Ling knocked her head.
Nan Ke looked at the map with the help of the moonlight and compared it with his fingers on the map. "There should be a small village not far ahead, but now it's so late, so people may not let us in."
When Nan Ke was in Qinghe Village, he actually learned a lot of knowledge from the old man. The old man made excuses in other aspects, but he did not hide any of the relevant aspects of these villages.
The villagers in the 100,000 mountains are different from the people in the city. They do not have solid walls and the Chu court as barriers.
If you want to survive in such a dangerous mountain valley, you have to rely on yourself, and you have to be extremely cautious in any aspect.
At night, three strangers suddenly came to the village and wanted to enter, which was almost impossible. If they were really allowed to enter, they might have other purposes.
After all, there is no Longmen Inn in the mountain valley, but there are really many Longmen villages.
"I have money." Gu Ling said indifferently.
For those of them, most things in this world are actually priced. If they cannot do it, the price is not enough.
The price here refers not only to money, but also to other powers, interests, etc.
"Money is sometimes useless." Nan Ke said seriously.
"Where is the fist?"
Gu Ling raised his hand.
The slender and pink fist suddenly put a lot of pressure on Nan Kemo.
"Enough."
Nan Kezheng pointed his head, then turned around and started walking along the mark on the map.
Things that money cannot do in this world;
But as long as your fist is big enough, these things are nothing.
The road ahead is rugged, but it is not difficult to really think about passing.
After another rush, the trees in front became sparse, and traces of cutting down were traces around.
Walking outside, a village appeared. Looking from the slightly higher ground slope, the size of this village was about twenty or thirty households.
"Look for a household."
Gu Ling glanced at him and walked over.
Perhaps because it was too late, the village was covered with black and there was no light.
When Nan Ke approached, he lived in Qinghe Village for more than a week and was no stranger to life in this village.
He slashed the fences around with one hand. They were quite solid and could not compare to Qinghe Village, but they could also resist some rabbits, weasels, etc.
"There is the door there."
Gu Ling pointed to the distance and shouted to Nan Ke.
Nan Ke glanced at the village again, grabbed Gu Ling's hand, frowned and said, "There is a problem."
Gu Ling stopped hearing this and listened carefully. Occasionally, insects and birds cried, but they all came from behind. The village in front of him was like the night sky above his head.
It's there, but there is no sound.
"There will definitely be dogs in such a village." Nan Ke said.
When he was wandering around Qinghe Village, he was almost bitten by a dog.
This kind of dog has been trained since childhood and is specially used for alertness. If there is any slight movement in the village, the dog will bark.
"Are you dead?"
Gu Ling was a little impatient.
She is a good-nature on weekdays and knows all kinds of principles, but she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth. The whole day of traveling and the humid and stuffy air in the forest really made her feel a little uncomfortable.
In the past, she practiced martial arts as a difficult time, and her hardship was just physical fatigue. There was no shortage of conditions and facilities around her, and she had all the food and drinks.
"Maybe he's dead."
Nan Ke pushed Gu Ling backwards.
When she didn't really encounter danger, Nan Ke felt that she should act like a man.
Gu Ling didn't say anything, standing behind Nan Ke, if there was any emergency, she could react.
‘Buzz’
Blood and energy are instantly induced.
Nan Ke kicked the fence in front of him.
"Go in and take a look?" Nan Ke turned around, "I've come."
“It’s better than being outside.”
When I entered through the gap, I didn’t know whether it was a psychological reason or something. Nan Ke suddenly felt that it seemed that it was much colder in the village.
The entire village actually covers a small area. Judging from the location where they entered, you can almost see the layout of most of the villages.
The flat-story wooden houses built with thatch and trees have small courtyards. At this time, some courtyard doors are closed and some courtyard doors are open, but no traces of fighting are seen.
“It seems like all the villagers have moved away.”
Qing'er looked around and came to a conclusion.
Nan Ke walked into an open yard alone and looked inside through the window.
There are also signs of chopping firewood and burning fire in the yard, and there are also mattresses or other household items in the room. If the family relocates, it should not be as generous as to throw them away.
"It shouldn't be relocation." Nan Ke scratched his hair, "We should have been involved in other evil things."
I don't know if I'm lucky or bad.
When I was an ordinary person, Wutong and Wutong walked in the Hundred Thousand Mountain for three days and saw a 'giant python'.
After finally becoming a monk, he had just entered the mountain forest for a day and encountered such a strange thing that could be written into the novel as a ghost story.
Nan Ke didn't know much about monks or demons' methods. He looked at Gu Ling and asked, "Sister, have you read this situation in a book?"
I must have never seen him before. Gu Ling has been in the royal city since he was a child. If such a thing could happen in the royal city, then the State of Chu would probably be not far from the destruction of the country.
"There are so many." Gu Ling shook his head, "It's just a hundred ordinary people in this kind of mountain. With a little thought, you can achieve this effect."
"But it should have nothing to do with the person we are investigating, right?" Nan Ke asked again.
"If it were really a zombie, it wouldn't be so quiet here."
If those corpse charms were there, they would have rushed out impatiently.
"Look at it again?"
Nan Ke asked Gu Ling for his opinion.
He is now very accurate in positioning himself, just eighth grade, but it is better not to make any decisions in front of fifth grade.
"If you meet it, just take a look."
Gu Ling is not passionate about such things, but it cannot be said that she is not at all disturbances.
After all, she was not so cold that she treated human lives as animals. In the hearts of people like her, these 100,000 mountains belonged to the people of Chu.
Don’t worry about whether others recognize it or not, an excellent family has always just what you think, not what you think.
Nan Ke walked in front, Gu Ling and Qing'er followed.
When Nan Ke entered the yard or house to investigate, the two women were waiting outside.
The three of them cooperated, which was a tacit understanding.
Half the search was conducted, almost all the living utensils in the house were still there, and the traces left by daily activities were clearly visible inside.
Combined with the fact that it was not very thick dust, Nan Ke felt that the news about this group of people should not take more than half a month.
"It seems that it doesn't make sense to look like this."
Nan Ke came out of a yard.
This yard is located on the only stone slab-paved road in the village, and is considered to be the center of the village.
