The courtyard was still some distance away from us, and it was already in the jungle, so we walked for a while before arriving at the door of the courtyard.
Chen Mo knocked on the door and asked politely: "Hello, master, a few of us went to the mountains to collect herbs and took the wrong route. Can we stay at your house tonight?"
When I heard Chen Mo's words, I laughed out loud, "Going into the mountains to collect herbs, Chen Mo, look at how we look like people who went into the mountains to collect herbs. If we say we went into the mountains to rob, maybe they
I can still believe it a little bit."
Zhou Lan and Xiang Yu also laughed when they heard what I said.
Chen Mo ignored me, knocked on the door several more times, raised his voice and repeated the words he just said.
However, the lights inside the cabin were flickering, but it was quiet, with no sound at all.
"Chen Mo, is it possible that people don't want to pay attention to us? After all, it's night in the deep mountains and forests, and there are so many of us. If I were the owner of the house, I wouldn't want to open the door. After all, who is the other party?
, it’s hard to predict." Xiangyu said to Chen Mo.
"No, we must open this door today, because according to the information I have, the owner of this house is the person who once brought out the blue skull from the ghost town," Chen Mo said, and continued to knock on the door.
"Chen Mo, you actually found the person who brought out the skull. It's really amazing." I exclaimed.
"Of course, otherwise you would think we have been busy these two days."
After Zhou Lan finished speaking, he took a step forward and joined the crowd of people knocking on the door.
"Owner of the house, several of us are from the National Archaeological Institute. The purpose of entering Shennongjia is to find the legendary ghost town. We suspect that it may be an ancient city. I heard that you have been to that place before, so we would like to ask you to be our guide.
, I wonder if it is convenient for you, could you open the door to discuss in person."
After Zhou Lan said this, several of us were a little stunned. Will this work?
Unexpectedly, this actually works.
I saw the door of the small wooden house behind the yard suddenly opened with a creak, and an old lady walked towards me.
This surprised us a little, because in this case, wouldn't it be more reasonable for an old man to open the door?
However, we were already confused by the ghost town and the blue skull, so we didn’t think too much about it.
"Hello, old man, we are from the School of Archeology~" Zhou Lan greeted the old lady with a playful smile.
Unexpectedly, before Zhou Lan finished speaking, the old lady turned around and walked back, but her expression did not reject us.
We looked at each other and thought this old lady was very strange, but we all followed her into the courtyard.
Just as we stepped onto the steps in front of the cabin, the previous feeling of being followed by someone came up again, and this time, it seemed to be much closer than before.
I don't know why, but an unknown premonition suddenly arose in my heart, as if something was about to happen.
The old lady stepped into the house one step ahead of us.
Several of us also entered the wooden house one after another.
Who knows, as soon as we stepped into the wooden house, the door of the wooden house was closed from the outside.
Then, before I could even react, several tall and powerful men had already subdued us.
Suddenly a dozen foreigners appeared in the room.
Andrew is not dead yet.
My first reaction was this.
Sure enough, the foreigner was walking out of the back room of the house leisurely at this moment.
"Zhou, we meet again, stay safe." Andrew walked up to me and greeted me with a smile.
"Bah, Andrew, the snow in Shentang Bay didn't crush you to death. It's really unkind of God to let you come out to do your bidding." I spat at Andrew and said through gritted teeth.
"Zhou, you have such a bad temper when we meet," Andrew laughed loudly, "God is unkind, I still like this word better."
"Andrew, what do you want from such a big battle?" Chen Mo said coldly.
"Chen Mo, you are so smart, you should have guessed it, right?" Andrew said easily while sitting next to the Eight Immortals table, whose paint had been peeled off a lot, while playing with the purple clay pot on the table.
"We can give you the astrolabe, but you have to let us and the old man and his family go." Chen Mo said without any panic.
"Let's wait until you find the astrolabe in Shennongjia." Andrew put down the purple clay pot in his hand, and then changed his face to a slightly scary one.
"You fucking American bitch, why don't you take good care of your own mother and come to China to lick your feet? What's the point?" Andrew's look instantly angered Zhou Lan, and he cursed through gritted teeth.
"You have no right to talk to me, Kate," Andrew said, pouting at the tall yellow-haired man in uniform Zhou Lan.
Huang Mao received the order and kicked Zhou Lan's feet, causing Zhou Lan to kneel on the ground instantly.
The expression on Zhou Lan's face was twisted together, and it was obvious that he was in great pain, but he did not say "ouch", which really vividly demonstrated the perseverance of our nation.
"Andrew, if you want to do this, then you can't even get half of the astrolabe. I can tell you clearly that since I have the ability to find the astrolabe, I have the ability to destroy it. You should think about it carefully." Seeing Zhou Lan
I endured hardship, and my heart instantly became entangled.
"Xiao Cang, leave me alone, isn't this foreigner just relying on the power of numbers?" When Zhou Lan heard what I said, he struggled to shout out these words.
"Andrew, let the old man's family and the Zhou brothers go, and I will be your hostage. After the Zhou brothers find the astrolabe, they can exchange it for me." Chen Mo took a step forward and looked.
said Andrew.
"Chen Mo, don't worry, there will be someone who will be a hostage, but it won't be you. You are too smart. I won't worry if I take you as a hostage. Besides, without your help, Zhou Cang will have a lot of trouble finding the astrolabe in Shennongjia.
, so you are definitely not the best candidate to be a hostage." Andrew said with a sly smile on his face.
At this moment, I wanted to run up to him and pluck the cheeks from his face one by one.
"Then what do you want?" I couldn't help roaring loudly.
"Xiang Yu and the old lady's granddaughter stay. You three will enter Shennongjia with the old lady, and I will be waiting for you here." Andrew said, turning to look at Xiang Yu again, and then added: "And
One thing I want to remind you is that I have always liked Xiangyu. If you don’t come back within three days, then I may not be able to control myself in front of such a beautiful and beautiful girl."
"You beast." Zhou Lan cursed fiercely.
"Professor," Xiangyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly shouted with a cry.
When we looked back, we didn’t know when Xiangyu had burst into tears.
"Yu, please tell me..." Andrew walked up to Xiang Yu and suddenly transformed into a humble gentleman again.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person. In the past few years since I entered Stanford, I have respected you so much. Even at certain times, I felt that I had fallen in love with you. I had no choice but to steal under the pressure of my family.
Astrolabe Research Group
When I received the research results, I also took great pains to create a series of illusions so that you were not implicated by me at all. I didn't expect that you turned out to be such a person. I am really, really disappointed." Xiang.
Yusheng cried with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, the three of us were silent. Her words should have surprised all of us.
"Jade, I will naturally explain it to you after I get all the horoscopes." Andrew said.
"No need, from now on, we are enemies." Xiangyu still had tears on his face, but his tone was unusually calm.
Andrew wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Chen Mo.
"Andrew, since this matter is related to the astrolabe, then one of us can be your hostage. Please let the old lady and her family go. We will find the astrolabe as soon as possible and exchange for Xiangyu later."
"Let the old lady's granddaughter go, who will take you to the ghost town? Chen Mo, I still want to kindly remind you to leave tonight, because those three days, today is also included in it, so you probably just have to
There are only two days left." Andrew's eyes left Xiangyu and changed to a sinister look.
"You thief." Zhou Lan roared angrily.
"Also, Zhou, you have to keep the two astrolabees on your body, otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of the little girl." Andrew looked at me and said.
At this time, the old lady who had been standing aside suddenly raised her head, her eyes were terrifyingly piercing. It seemed that the look was not from an old lady, but from a general who was red-eyed after being killed on the battlefield.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law," at this time, a girl about ten years old shouted from inside.
"Zhou Cang, please leave quickly. Mother-in-law, don't worry. I will take care of the child. I will ensure that the child will be fine when you come back." Xiang Yu said.
"Yu, you better be awake." Andrew said softly to Xiang Yu.
"I can't give you the astrolabe. In Shennongjia, we may have to use the astrolabe in some cases. You have also seen the role of the astrolabe at the bottom of Poyang Lake." Chen Mo said.
Andrew pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, when I come back, I want to see the three astrolabes. Otherwise, you will never see Xiangyu and the little girl."
After Andrew finished speaking, he waved his hand, and when we met, he was taken to the inner room, and we were also taken away from the small courtyard. After walking a short distance, we finally regained our personal freedom.
"Brother, Chen Mo, let's fight back secretly." I said immediately when I saw Hongmao walking away.
"They all have guns, and if Andrew dares to do this, he must be well prepared. Let's try to find time to find the astrolabe as soon as possible." Chen Mo replied.
Just as we were talking, the old lady had already walked a long way forward.
