No one expected that this time, everyone would be able to return to Lu Su's hometown half a year late.
Everyone left Ningjin County and walked eastward for two miles, then changed direction and headed southeast for fifteen miles. When they arrived at Ningjinbo, they saw a large body of water with rugged waves and beautiful natural scenery.
This place is not a major transportation thoroughfare. In addition, it is a large lake with difficult roads. It is completely in the wilderness. On weekdays, not many people come here.
"Brother, this is not a market town, why are there so many people gathered here?" Lu Su dismounted his horse and looked around at the desolate place, which did not look like a livable place at all.
"Brother, why are we here?"
"No way, with so many people coming here, aren't they afraid of being eaten by monsters?" Lu Su couldn't imagine it.
"Oh, what else! Look at those people?"
Zhao Feng pointed to the lakeside. Many farmers in ragged clothes were farming by the lake. Most of these people were well-educated. It was obvious that life here was very difficult.
"This is a wilderness, why do these people want to open up wasteland here?" Lu Su, who grew up in a wealthy family, found it difficult to understand.
"These people make a living in this place where snakes and insects are infested, firstly to avoid the war, and secondly to feed themselves!"
Zhao Feng, Lu Su, and Xu Huang rode forward on horseback. The terrain became low and they could not walk side by side. They had to walk along the path among the grass that was as tall as a person. As they were walking, there was a sudden noise in front of them.
, crying. Zhao Feng led the way through this piece of wormwood grassland. In the open space after burning the wasteland in front, there were twenty or thirty people gathered. Judging from the clothes of these people, they were all farmers who were opening up wasteland here.
A woman, with her child, threw herself on a man and cried loudly. The farmers around her looked sad.
"It's so pitiful. This family just escaped from the clutches of the Yellow Turban Army and encountered a poisonous snake. What a misfortune!"
Zhao Feng rode up to the scene. The farmers didn't know who Zhao Feng was, so they panicked and ran away. Zhao Feng dismounted and walked into the crying woman and child, and found that they were injured and not dead.
"People can still be saved!" Zhao Feng said.
When the woman heard that her husband could still be saved, she didn't care. She got up, knelt in front of Zhao Feng and kowtowed repeatedly:
"Please save my husband!"
Zhao Feng squatted next to the man, took out the herbs he had collected along the way and the detoxification pill he had refined, gave it to the injured person, and placed the rest next to the woman. Then he injected soul power into the injured person's body and asked about touching the cup of tea.
At about time, the man woke up, spit out a few mouthfuls of dirty blood, and then woke up.
"Husband, are you feeling better?" the woman asked eagerly.
"Mom, I feel thirsty and a little dizzy. I should be fine."
Just as the woman was about to thank her savior, Zhao Feng had already ridden away. The woman hurriedly took her child and kowtowed in the direction where Zhao Feng left.
Zhao Feng rejoined the team, and everyone entered the area of Ningjinbo, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. In front of them, there was a lush forest with dense branches and leaves, giving people an uneasy feeling.
"Brother Xu, there is something strange in the woods ahead, be careful!"
Xu Huang rode his horse into the woods. After a while, he rode back: "My Lord, the woods ahead are very strange. After entering, it is like entering another world! There is no way to find it, so I have no choice but to retreat!"
"Oh, is there such a thing? Let me go and take a look!"
Zhao Feng whipped his horse and whip into the forest, and soon the scenery in front of him changed. The original forest disappeared and was replaced by an open area.
"Hmph, it's just an illusion, but you dare to do it again!"
Zhao Feng and his horses turned around and returned to the crowd.
"Brother Xu, it's almost noon, you go hunt some game!" Feng Ma whip pointed to the lake.
Xu Huang rode away, Zhao Feng and others lit a bonfire on the spot, and Cai Yan led Wang Tong outside.
Wang Tong was unhappy. Zhao Feng and others knew that this child had suffered a misfortune, but no one made fun of him.
Xu Huang was worthy of being a hunter. He came back in the time it took to burn an incense stick, carrying a large wild boar on his right shoulder and an elk on the horse he was leading with his left hand.
Everyone started to join hands, and soon the smell of barbecue floated above the bonfire.
"Dad Xu, go and invite some refugees here and say that as long as they answer the questions, they will have meat to eat!"
"Here!" Father Xu responded, and after a while, he brought back more than twenty people. These people were in ragged clothes and had timid expressions, as if they were very afraid of strangers.
"My young master has something to ask you, so don't be alarmed!" Father Xu said to comfort everyone.
At first, no one spoke, perhaps because of the temptation of the smell of meat, a bolder young man said, "I wonder what this young master wants to ask?"
Zhao Feng waved his hand and said: "Don't be restrained, everyone, sit down!"
After a while of pushing and shoving, everyone sat down a few feet away from Zhao Feng.
"Have you ever been in the woods ahead?"
As soon as Zhao Feng's words came out, everyone was immediately frightened and their expressions changed. The young man who had spoken before bravely said:
"Everyone says it is haunted and no one dares to go there!"
"When did it start to become like this?"
"Probably at the end of last year, a group of Taoist priests came here. Since that group of Taoist priests entered here, we have been unable to go to many places near Ningjinbo, and the fields we cultivated earlier are no longer able to be cultivated!" Another
An old man said.
"Since those Taoist priests arrived, strange things have been happening in the woods and by the lake. Everyone is panicking and plans to find another place after this autumn!" said another elderly man.
"A group of Taoist priests?" Zhao Feng asked for a long time. Apart from the mention of Taoist priests, there was nothing special about it, including the haunted woods. No one knew how they were haunted.
Zhao Feng left some barbecued meat and distributed most of the barbecued meat to everyone. Everyone thanked him and dispersed.
"Lord, this place is very evil. Do we want to leave?"
Zhao Feng thought for a while and said: "You guys stay here for now, let me go and take a look before I make a decision!"
A few people had lunch and Zhao Feng was about to leave. Suddenly, the sky was filled with clouds and strong winds began to blow in the Ningjinbo area. After a while, it began to rain heavily. Everyone had no choice but to take shelter in the car together.
The wind and rain came and went quickly. Just as Zhao Feng was about to think of a way, Feng Yin said in his mind: "There are people doing tricks nearby. It seems to be a battle between monsters and monsters. You should be extra careful!"
When Zhao Feng learned the unexpected news, he got out of the car after the rain stopped completely and saw that the outside had turned into a desert.
Of course, Siwai is not real water, but an illusion. Zhao Feng used the power of the Holy Eyes to quickly find a way out.
"Everyone, keep moving forward, come with me, don't stay away!"
Father Xu continued to drive, Lu Su sat at the door of the carriage to protect Cai Yan, Xu Huang followed Zhao Feng on foot, and three horses were tied behind the carriage and followed.
Xu Huang and others could not tell the direction and followed Zhao Feng step by step.
