Lanke Chess Edge

The creaking sound of the fence at the head of the village was still behind him, and the old man who supported Ji Yuan didn't let go, and directly led Ji Yuan a dozen steps in, to the front of a house where the outer walls were brushed with mud.

"Be careful, sir, the threshold is high, and your feet are raised!"

This high threshold is not a joke, it's really high, and I vaguely feel that my calf is high.

This house is not like a normal family's residence, because there is only one room, neither a kitchen nor an inner hall, only a table with an oil lamp, four long benches, and two beds on the side.

'Well, it's more like a makeshift dormitory! ’

When he got indoors, the old man finally let go of his hand and beckoned Ji Yuan to sit down.

"Sir, please take a seat. The old man's surname is Xu. I don't know where Mr. Gao lives?"

During the speech, he also took the initiative to remove a stool to facilitate Jiyuan to take a seat. The sound of his feet rubbing against the ground drew a colorless line in Jiyuan's heart.

"Okay, thank you old man, my surname is Ji, I'm from Ning'an County."

Ji Yuan said, he touched the table and sat down, put the wrap and umbrella on the table, the old man beside him took one from a stack of dishes that were upside down on the table, and lifted the clay pot beside the table to give it to him. Fate pouring water.

"Oh Ning'an people, we don't usually welcome strangers here at night. As the old saying goes, a person with a shadow and warmth is a living person, and there is no turning back at night. There are so many strange things these days, you always have to be careful. I just made my husband laugh. right?"

The sound of tea pouring into the bowl was crisp, and when the bowl was filled, it splashed a little.

"Sir, please drink water."

"It's fine, be careful, no big mistakes, thank you!"

After thanking him again, Ji Yuan took a sniff and drank it without caring about anything. At this time, the old man suddenly asked him a question.

"Sir, are you a ghost?"

"Pfft..."

Ji Yuan took a sip of tea and spit it out.

"Cough, cough... The old man is joking, of course I'm not a ghost!!"

This sudden hard-core problem from Nima made Ji Yuan choked up. He coughed for a while, and the old man next to him also apologized.

"Don't blame me sir, don't blame me sir. The old man has a bad memory. I just thought of something and subconsciously wanted to confirm it. It's just that we are too biased, and few people come here alone at night."

Ji Yuan coughed a few times to activate the spiritual energy, soothing the irritation in the trachea, and asked helplessly and curiously.

"What to confirm, didn't the old man take the pulse below?"

"That's what I said. It's just that some people don't even know they're alive when they die. This is the hardest way to tell the difference. It needs to be explained in front of him. We call this method the 'Mandarin Duck Method'. "

'What strange name? Ocean? resentment? It can't be a mandarin duck, can it? ’

Throwing away the thoughts in his mind, Ji Yuan asked the old man directly.

"Old man, you are often haunted?"

Otherwise, why are you so nervous, but as long as it's not a Specter, it's not a big problem.

"A few years ago, I did encounter a ghost who was looking for a scapegoat. We are only one village in this wilderness and countryside. Everyone is on guard, afraid that something strange will come here, but ghosts are okay, as the saying goes. It is said that people are afraid of ghosts for three points and ghosts are afraid of people seven points. People are more courageous, and there are many young people in the village who are very angry..."

The old man paused for a while, then continued to speak after hesitating for a while.

"It's just that we have made trouble with beautiful snakes before. It's night in this season, and everyone can't go out if they can't go out!"

"Beauty snake?"

Ji Yuanxin frowned, could it be a demon?

"Well, it is said that it is a big snake with a beautiful head, and it likes to trick young and strong men into eating it."

"Beautiful head? Can you tell a lie? Old man, don't make fun of me!"

Ji Yuan sucked in a breath, and subconsciously thought of Lu Shanjun from Niu Kuishan. Is this something ordinary people can guard against?

The light of the oil lamp flickered in the house, but the room was still dim, and the swaying light seemed to be in the mood of scheming.

The monsters and monsters who can speak are all well-behaved, and they have already refined their horizontal bones, but they are not the little monsters who will be killed by an iron rake and hoe, and if this snake really has a human head...

Ji Yuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and even had the urge to leave, but if he went outside... his chest would be congested.

There is no city **** in this county, right? Don't care here?

"Hey, many people know about this. It made our village panic for a long time. How could I lie to you? If you don't talk about it, don't talk about it..."

Speaking of this, the old man got up from the stool on one side and went to make the other bed.

"Sir, my family is still in the inner village. The house at the head of the village is temporarily occupied by people who take care of the entrance of the village. Please stay here for one night today. If you want to go to the thatched hut at night, you can wake up the old man and I will help you over there. of."

"By the way, are you hungry, sir, if you're hungry, I'll go get you something to eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry!"

Ji Yuan declined, and went over to make the bed together. He smelled the smell on it, and it should have been drying out, but even if the smell was heavy, it didn't matter. He didn't care much about it, and he didn't care.

"Wang Wang Wang... Wang Wang Wang Wang..."

There were dog barks outside, and a few curses. Ji Yuan listened carefully, and seemed to hear words such as "difficult to eat" and "bad luck".

Ji Yuan looked at the old man on the side and didn't react. He temporarily put aside some anxiety in his mind and asked himself about his journey.

"Old man, what is the name of your village, and where is it in Shunbao County? What is the right way to go to Jiao County?"

"Shunbao County?"

Hearing the doubtful voice of the old man, Ji Yuan felt a little bad.

"This big gentleman, you are a little far off the road. This is Shanghegou Village, which is already the northeast corner of Suiyuan County. It has already passed Baoshun."

"what!?"

'Suiyuan County? Why did I run through two counties? ’

The paperweight map is fine, but the lines are too fine, which makes the map scale difficult to grasp. Only through this condensed map, we can understand the general relationship between the various boundaries, and beyond the limit, the thirteen states of Dazhen were filled, and one county was in There is only a small dot on the picture, engraving a very small name to mark the official road is already a magic work of martial arts, and the sense of distance can only be reflected from the land of one government.

'So I underestimated my strength? ’

I'm afraid that when I used a trick to chase the three fast horses with light effort, I unknowingly ran too far!

'It's a mistake in racing! ! ’

Ji Yuan, who was lamenting in her heart, hurriedly continued to ask the old man.

"Then if I'm going to Chunhui Mansion, does the old man think it's better to go back the same way or choose another way?"

"Well, old man, I haven't run this far, so let's take a rest, Mr. Ji. You can ask the merchants who are staying in the village in the morning. I heard that they are going to Du Mingfu City, maybe they know how to get there. !"

"Hey... that's the only way!"

I miss mobile phone navigation so much...

. . .

Late at night…

The people in the village went to bed earlier than those in the city, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com didn't sleep. The old man in the room was already snoring, and there were occasional barks from the village outside.

Ji Yuan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he didn't fall asleep. On the one hand, the snoring on the side was too obvious in the quiet night, especially in his ears, on the other hand, he was touching the paperweight map to reset it by himself. Plan your route.

"Wang Wang Wang... Wang Wang Wang... Wang Wang Wang..."

"Wang Wang Wang Wang..."

The dog barking suddenly became intense, and Ji Yuan opened his eyes almost at the same moment when he heard the sound. He could hear that many village dogs were gathered in a certain place, barking in one direction together.

After waiting for a while, the barking of the dog gradually quieted down.

Old dogs that have been raised for a long time tend to be very spiritual. I have seen this once in Jiyuan in Ning'an County, and I have always heard the old man say that the dog's eyes are psychic in my last life, so Jiyuan still cares about the sound of the dog barking.

"A little panic..."

. . .

Outside the village, by the river, a long black shadow slid across the ground, but slowly crawled in an S-shape along the coast. The dense scales rubbed against the rocks and branches, making a rustling sound.

Somewhere, the shadow raised his body and looked towards the village, revealing his thick body and white scales on his abdomen.

"Sh~~~hh~~~"

After spitting out the letter and standing for a moment, there were bursts of irritable dog barks in the village, but in fact, those domestic dogs often just approached the fence and roared, but had no intention of rushing out.

"Sigh~~~"

The big snake lowered his body, his slightly bloated body twisted a few times along the shore.

After the sound of "Puff~~", mixed with the sound of water waves being expelled, a long black shadow slipped into the river, and some boats on the side also swayed due to the changes in the ripples on the water surface.
