There was a fence around the thatched house, and there was a circle of trees outside the fence. Different from those elsewhere, they were all ginkgo trees.
This season is when the leaves of ginkgo are the brightest and purest in color. The golden fallen leaves are spread all over the ground, and against the blue sky above the sky and the soft white clouds, it is quiet and serene like an autumn oil painting.
Wen Xiaoyun happily pointed forward, "It's exactly the same as Qilang described. That's where the master lives."
Yin Nuo patted her shoulder and said, "We will decide quickly. We have to rush back to Yanzhou."
"Well," Wen Xiaoyun nodded heavily, and frowned as if he had thought of something, "This expert is not at all qualified. It will be quite difficult to convince him to follow us back to Yanzhou and surrender."
Yinnuo looked forward, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled, "I don't believe that there are people in this world that you and I can't defeat together. Let's go, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover up the water and the earth."
Wen Xiaoyun glanced at Yin Nuo and couldn't help but smile, "That's right, let's go."
But when they approached the house, they found that there was no one inside.
The strangest thing is that the doors and windows of the huts in the courtyard are wide open, and the layout and decoration inside the house can be clearly seen.
There were two rooms in the thatched hut. There were two bookshelves against the wall in the inner room. Behind the bookshelves was a simple earthen bed. In front of the bookshelves was a table covered with grease. On the table were some chipped tea sets, and
Dropped porcelain dishes. An old chair in front of the table.
The furnishings in the outer room are simpler. There is a large copper stove in the middle, and a water tank and a wooden box are placed in the corners on both sides.
Yin Nuo and Wen Xiaoyun were only standing outside the yard, and could be seen clearly through the large open doors and windows.
"It's just dawn, why are people out?" Wen Xiaoyun looked at Yin Nuo in confusion.
Yinnuo circled the fence and carefully inspected the situation inside, and said thoughtfully, "There is nothing to wash here. Maybe I went to the river to wash up or something."
"Then let's just wait here, or should we go look around?" Wen Xiaoyun looked around, "The doors and windows are all open. You should be back soon, right?"
Yinnuo's eyes were still in the house, checking carefully, "He probably won't be out for too long. But I think there is something special about this house."
Wen Xiaoyun turned around in confusion and looked at the thatched hut again, "It's quite special. It fits the status of an expert outside the world."
"It's not that special," Yinnuo shook his head and pointed to the wall next to the door frame, "it's the wooden sign hanging beside the door."
Wen Xiaoyun also saw the wooden sign, "What's written on it?" She squinted her eyes and couldn't read it clearly.
"Stealing." Yinnuo replied.
Wen Xiaoyun frowned, "Robber? Why would someone hang the word 'thief' on the door?"
Yin Nuo turned to look at Wen Xiaoyun, a little surprised, "Have you never heard of household burglaries in the capital?"
Wen Xiaoyun suddenly felt guilty, "No, I haven't heard of it."
Just when Yinnuo was about to tease her, there was a sudden rustling sound in the woods behind.
Yinnuo turned around cautiously, only to see the leaves in the woods behind him swaying loudly.
Yin Nuo grabbed Wen Xiaoyun's hand and whispered, "We don't know the details of this. Let's hide for a while and see what the situation is."
Wen Xiaoyun also became alert, and together with Yin Nuo, they led the horse and quickly retreated from the small yard.
Yinnuo didn't let down his guard until he walked into the woods. He kept his ears pricked up and listened carefully to the sounds in the woods.
But this time there was nothing unusual.
Wen Xiaoyun took Gaoyue and hid behind an old tree, looking warily at the other side of the small yard.
Yinnuo held Jiangzhu's back and stood still with Wen Xiaoyun, continuing to search for the source of the strange noise just now.
There was nothing unusual in Wen Xiaoyun's small yard. Wen Xiaoyun turned to look at Yin Nuo. Just as she was about to ask him about the specific situation, a branch not far away suddenly broke into her sight.
To be precise, the thing that broke into Wen Xiaoyun's sight should be a snake coiled on the branch.
Wen Xiaoyun was immediately frightened!
The snake was about one meter long, with a dark green body and a curved head that glared at Wen Xiaoyun.
From time to time, it spits out long and thin messages, and its sharp forks tremble rapidly, making people's scalp feel numb.
"Yin, Yin Nuo," Wen Xiaoyun's voice became hoarse. She carefully pulled Yin Nuo's sleeves and asked helplessly with a pitiful cry, "Yes, there is a snake."
Yinnuo immediately turned around when he heard the sound, and the moment he saw the grass snake, he quickly drew his sword.
However, before Yin Nuo could get into a chopping stance, the black snake jumped up from the treetop like lightning and flew straight towards Wen Xiaoyun's face!
Wen Xiaoyun almost cried out, but unexpectedly, Yin Nuo's movements were faster than lightning. He suddenly turned his body to one side, waved hard with one hand, and chopped the snake into two pieces with the long sword in his hand.
Wen Xiaoyun felt that her back was getting wet, and she exhaled as she watched the poisonous snake that was chopped into two sections flying out of the air.
Fortunately, Yin Nuo is by her side, so no snake, insect, tiger or leopard can get close to her.
"Yinnuo," Wen Xiaoyun just wanted to express some gratitude to Yinnuo.
But then, another even more horrifying scene suddenly appeared in front of her.
