"Aren't you weak? Why, do you dislike the poison inside, or do you think that I, the weasel, have no good intentions in giving New Year greetings to the chicken?" Khan said calmly.
"Chicken?" Ning Xiaofan was startled, and suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart, grandma, who are you calling a chicken?
But after all, it seemed that the Khan had good intentions. If he didn't accept it, it would be really disrespectful. Although Ning Xiaofan was a little defensive, he still accepted the compressed biscuit: "Thank you."
Khan didn't say anything else. After giving him the biscuits, he walked directly to the front.
The road ahead is much easier to walk than the mass graves. After all, it is a forest without any negative energy. Even though we have to climb up the mountain, it is still much better.
About half an hour later, it was already dusk, and the sky had already turned a gray color. That gray color was obviously approaching night.
Suddenly, at this moment, Meng Jie shouted: "There is a thatched house ahead."
Following his voice, other people also looked over. Although the thatched house looked dilapidated, it stood firmly in the forest. It looked like a good resting place, but problems also lingered.
In the hearts of everyone.
Is this thatched hut occupied? Or is it an abandoned thatched hut?
"Don't be anxious yet!" Khan gestured to everyone to stop.
He had never seen this thatched hut in Lingshan so many times. He didn't know when there was an extra thatched hut here. Originally, he thought he would take everyone to a nearby cave to rest for a night, but the thatched hut in front of him was broken.
His plan also raised his vigilance.
"There may be someone here. I don't know what's going on ahead, so I'd better wait a moment." Khan said.
Ning Xiaofan couldn't deny what he said and agreed. After all, this Lingshan Mountain was indeed very different from other mountains. From the mass graves, Ning Xiaofan had already deeply felt that if he was not careful here,
It is very likely that they will die. Let’s not talk about the evil beasts. Even if the bandit who lives here comes to lie down, it is unbearable for them. For example, the red dragon jade was snatched away by the one-eyed pirate who lives here.
?
Although Ning Xiaofan now suspects that this is a plan set by Chang Yun for himself, it is undeniable that the Lingshan here is indeed full of many unknowns.
Khan thought for a while and said: "We are relatively familiar with Lingshan. You stay here for now. I will take two people to explore the front. If there is nothing ahead, I will give you a signal.
Or give me a signal, just come over here."
Khan's behavior this time was completely different from his previous behavior at the fork in the road. He seemed to be thinking about the safety of Ning Xiaofan and the others, so he thought of going ahead to test the situation first.
"We will follow you." Ning Xiaofan said.
In fact, at this juncture, Ning Xiaofan did not completely trust Khan. After all, he now felt that there was definitely something fishy between Khan and Chang Yun.
At least ever since that one-eyed pirate snatched the red dragon jade, I felt that things were not as simple as imagined and very strange.
"Of course you can follow me, but I'm just afraid of what might happen. We don't know if there is anyone inside, or if it's a trap deliberately set by some people. We don't know what the situation is around the house. Is there anyone there?
There are no evil beasts or anything like that. These are all unknown
, If you have these unknown risks, I don't care. If you are willing to come, then come, but I feel that reducing risks is one of the safest ways to go to Lingshan. Do you think?" Khan had already removed the shotgun from his back.
It was taken down and replaced with the latest row of bullets.
"Then it's up to you."
Ning Xiaofan thought about it and found that he really couldn't refute this Khan, and again, it was actually a good idea for him to go explore the road. After all, as he said, there were too many unknown factors.
After making sure, the Khan led two strong men and moved towards the hut bit by bit.
After getting closer, Khan looked at the thatched hut with his modern binoculars and found that there was no human figure inside. There was a door in the thatched hut, but it seemed to be locked by an ancient lock.
Finally, Khan led his two men directly through the grass in front of him and walked carefully to the door of the thatched house. The three of them looked around and found that there was only one house, and the surrounding area of the house seemed to be a courtyard.
, but now it is deserted
The grass was reborn. About four or five meters in front of the door, there was a stone bench and a stone table. The neat Go board was engraved on the stone table, but the chess pieces were not visible at all. Moreover, the stone table itself had also experienced the precipitation of the years.
, weathered, becoming slightly older.
The table was covered in dust and fallen leaves.
Khan's attention will naturally not fall on the stone table, nor on the overgrown courtyard. After all, his real target is the house in front of him, and they are likely to live there tonight.
Here, a safe living environment is extremely important.
The door was locked, and the lock was an extremely ancient lock from ancient times. The whole house was also in an ancient style. The windows were tightly closed. Khan did not open the door immediately, but used a shotgun.
I poked the window hard with the handle, and then found that it opened directly.
The moment the window was opened, there was also a cloud of dust. It could be seen that no one had been to this thatched house for a long time.
After opening the window, I poked my head in and found that it was the kind of thatched cottage where the hermits lived in on TV. There were beds, desks, and even remaining kerosene lamps. Of course, the kerosene lamps could not be lit anymore. In fact,
It's just a kerosene lamp holder.
After finding that everything was safe inside, Khan waved to Ning Xiaofan and others from a distance, indicating that they could come over.
"Brother Fan, shall we go directly there now?" Meng Jie actually had doubts and suspicions about Khan in his heart.
Ning Xiaofan naturally knew what Meng Jie was thinking, because he and Meng Jie roughly thought the same way, but there was really no good place to go, and Ning Xiaofan believed that even if Chang Yun and Khan were
If they unite together and want to punish themselves, then they will definitely not kill themselves easily.
They must be asking for it from their roommates, and this kind of appeal or need must be something they can provide, otherwise Chang Yun wouldn't put so much effort into dealing with him.
If they simply wanted to die, Chang Yun could have made certain choices when they were in the Chang family.
But in the end, Chang Yun still didn't.
"Let's go." Ning Xiaofan chuckled, then patted Meng Jie on the shoulder: "Let nature take its course, and destiny cannot be violated."
Meng Jie was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to understand something and then smiled.
After passing by, the door of the Khan Road has been opened. It can be said that no one has been inside for countless years. Thick dust has accumulated on almost every piece of furniture.
What shocked Ning Xiaofan was that although there was a lot of dust, the whole room was indeed very tidy.
Even though the mattress on the bed was moldy, it was neatly folded into pieces and placed on the side of the bed. Everything in the room was placed in an orderly manner. In addition to the bed, there was also a desk.
There are still basic books, but they are all ancient books. Ning Xiaofan took a quick look and found that the name of the top book was: "Three Kingdoms."
The book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is different from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel about the Three Kingdoms period that was fabricated based on history. It is also one of the four famous works of China.
But if you really want to understand and study the specific culture and history of the Three Kingdoms period, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms still cannot be used as a reference value.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms is indeed a history book that truly records the history of that period.
Its Korean gold content is still very high in the history of China, especially for those who later want to learn the culture and history of the Three Kingdoms, the reference value is still very large.
In fact, the problem also arises. This person actually read the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. Ning Xiaofan flipped through a few pages and found that they were all in classical Chinese.
In other words, the owner of the book can understand classical Chinese.
Not only that, Neng Fan also opened other basic books, basically all in classical Chinese, and only one was from the Qing Dynasty.
It can be inferred from this that the owner of this thatched house is most likely a person from the Qing Dynasty.
Because looking at the whole house, there is no modern survival tools, not even books, everything is very ancient and obsolete.
This made Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but sigh that there was actually a hermit living here.
These are things you can only see on TV. I didn’t expect to encounter them in real life. It’s just a pity that I didn’t meet the owner of this thatched cottage.
However, it has been hundreds of years since the Qing Dynasty, and it is estimated that this owner has been dead for who knows how long.
"Let's rest here today."
At this moment, Khan's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
Naturally, Ning Xiaofan would not object. When he was in the graveyard just now, he was already a little weak. Later, he got a supply of khan biscuits and walked out of the graveyard and no longer suffered from the yin energy. The whole person felt much better, but
The body still has not fully recovered.
It would be best if you could rest here for a night.
"There won't be any wild beast attacks here, right?" Meng Jie suddenly asked.
Khan said: "Who knows, but judging from the current condition of this thatched cottage, there should be no evil beasts attacking it. If there were evil beasts, this thatched cottage would not be so well preserved."
