Chapter 87 The old man chooses his son-in-law(1/2)
The man was shocked immediately and turned his head back.
At some point, an elderly man appeared behind him.
The old man wore a blue outer hat and a silk dress that was rare in the past, and said to him with a kind smile, "Young man, don't be shocked, I'm not a bad guy."
The man looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the old man in anger and said, "Brother-in-law, you almost scared me to death."
The old man laughed and didn't care about the offense he spoke.
He inadvertently glanced at the man's second brother who had put away, and the smile on his face became brighter.
"Hey, young man, I see you and your group are in a mess, but they are going there? After leaving Beiguan Mountain, the road is getting harder and harder."
The old man asked casually as if he was having sex with him.
The man immediately replied, "I can't help but don't want to leave. Who asked the superiors to give orders? Do you know the section of the road to Fuchang?"
The old man laughed immediately when he heard this, and the black hair growing on his cheeks became darker and shimmering. He smiled and said, "Shang Hao, Shang Hao."
"Haha, young man, then let's see you later. I will go back and prepare now. I will definitely give you my treasure."
After saying that, the old man crawled into the forest next to him, and in an instant he disappeared.
The man looked at his leaving figure and his expression became more and more confused.
After a while, he suddenly felt excited and woke up. He looked up at the sky and said to himself, "I've been using it for so long. I don't know if I'll be criticized by that kid when I go back?"
While muttering, he quickly walked back, completely forgot the old man he had just met.
On the side of the mountain road, the group was still resting in the shade. The man immediately stood up and walked into the crowd.
“What does it taste?”
"It's not like ghostly spirit, nor like popularity, but it has a strange fishy smell."
Zhang Jiao's nose suddenly twitched in the crowd. He lowered his head to argue for a moment, and immediately smelled the source of the smell.
He looked at the man who had just walked into the crowd, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"He didn't have this strange smell before. He just went out and walked around and his breath changed. Did he encounter something unclean? Or did Sanyang take the opportunity to insert someone in the middle?"
Zhang Jiao's thoughts were scattered for a moment, and various ideas and guesses kept popping up from his mind.
Subconsciously, he became more cautious in every move, preparing to see what medicine he was selling?
The sun is tilted.
After resting for half an hour, Liu Hao finally couldn't help but feel and urged everyone to get up and go.
Then everyone stood up slowly and followed him towards Fuchang.
The mountain road is rugged, but it is difficult to walk.
After nearly two hours, it was almost evening.
The group walked to the bottom of a dry mountain stream.
Liu Hao looked at the sky, and the heat in his heart faded a lot.
He said to everyone, "It's getting darker, everyone can look for it and see if there are places suitable for overnight stays nearby."
Everyone immediately took the order and scattered around to check.
"Dear men, are you looking for a place to stay?"
At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from beside him.
Everyone immediately looked at the sound, but saw a man wearing a blue man wearing a silk cloth and asked them with a smile, and there was a gray-clothed servant next to him.
Everyone immediately looked at Liu Hao, waiting for his instructions.
"In this chaotic era, and in this place where there is no village or shop, an old man suddenly invites you to visit his house. No one can agree directly. Only those young men who have just left the house and do not understand the sinister evil in the world will agree heartlessly. Most of their fates are made into buns."
Liu Hao is naturally not like this. He clasped his fists like Jianghuke and said to the old man, "We have taken the advice of my father-in-law, but we have a lot of people, so we won't go to the mansion to disturb you."
After saying that, he winked at everyone and signaled to leave here first.
Everyone immediately gathered together and prepared to leave.
At this time, a man who had just arrived from the foot of the mountain next to him looked at the old man and suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle Xiao? Are you Uncle Xiao Shengkui?"
The old man immediately said "huh" and looked at the man who was making a sound.
"Which doll is you? How do you know the old man's name?"
The man immediately walked over happily and bowed to the old man for a week. "The youngest one is the younger generation from Lijiagou, named Li Gui. But he had seen you at the meeting several times."
"Old Li's kid!"
The old man patted Li Gui's head with tears in his eyes and said with emotion, "Okay, okay. I'm rare to see fellow villagers these days. Today, I must go to my uncle's house to sit down and have a good chat."
As he spoke, he shouted to the crowd behind him, "But he is destined to meet fellow villagers here. You guys also want to rest for a night in the humble house, so that our uncle and nephew have the opportunity to chat. I am thanking me here."
After saying that, the old man grabbed Li Gui's hand and walked towards the path behind the mountain without any argument.
While walking, he asked, "How many people are there in Lijiagou now?"
......
On this side, Liu Hao looked at Li Gui who had walked away from him with helplessness on his face.
He thought for a while and said to everyone, "Then let's go to Uncle Li Gui's house to disturb you tonight."
A cheer immediately came from the crowd.
It is so chilly early spring, and it is great to have a house to spend the night in these barren mountains and ridges.
As for whether the other party was malicious, they also put down most of their guard after Li Gui recognized the other party's identity.
First, some people know each other, and second, they are all young and strong guys, so they are not afraid of each other's old man.
Everyone started moving immediately and rushed up the mountain road.
Zhang Jiao fell to the back, his nose kept twitching towards the place where the old man had just been.
After a moment, he suddenly whispered to himself, "It's also a little bit of a living person."
After saying that, he followed, but wanted to see what kind of dragon gate formation was being placed.
But before leaving, a slight wind suddenly blew past him, and Zhang Jiao's eyes instantly turned into blood.
Blood appeared, and countless words flashed in it. Finally, these words turned into a word of escape, dripping from his eyes, buried in the land he had just walked through.
The group followed the old man and walked on the small path by the mountain. After turning left and right, they could never see the main road again.
Looking around, there are strange and steep rocks.
Pines and cypresses grow from every corner of the mountain rock. Under the night sky, from a distance, it makes people feel scared.
The group couldn't help but twist the collars, feeling that the mountains became colder and quieter.
Liu Hao subconsciously felt something wrong in his heart, and he was about to remind everyone.
But when the old man walked around suddenly turned around and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, everyone, it's coming soon. The old man's house is specially built to be a little remote. After all, these days, it's safer for us ordinary people to live in remote areas. Do you think so?"
Li Gui, who was beside him, immediately replied, "It should be true that Uncle Xiao has a vision."
The old man smiled cheerfully when he heard this, but he didn't say much, but his face was full of pride.
Liu Hao also felt a little relieved.
After turning around a foot of a mountain and walking for half a mile, their eyes suddenly became clear.
I saw a row of slightly simple houses appearing at the foot of the pine forest with rugged rocks.
At a rough look, it looks like more than twenty rooms.
A circle of fences surrounded it high, and there were many cultivated fields around it. Several figures dressed as hunchbacked servants were busy working among the fields.
The old man pointed at the house at everyone and said kindly, "My men, please."
After saying that, with the help of the servant, he walked towards the small village in front of him.
Liu Hao looked at the village in front of him, which seemed like a paradise. The doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant, and then followed everyone quickly rushed up.
Zhang Jiao saw the figures of everyone walking into the village, and looked out, but he saw the wind blowing on the pine forest. In the cold and cold, ugly faces appeared in the forest.
He covered his nose lightly, but followed him in.
The largest house in the village.
As soon as everyone stepped into the house in the main room, they were immediately shocked by the furnishings in front of them.
The first purpose was to enter the tea-colored dragon table in the interior furnishings, with a small green bronze furnace placed on it. The charcoal fire in the furnace was red, and a slight scent of sandalwood fragrance emanated from it, filling the entire room.
Above the brown dragon table, there is a large landscape painting hanging. Two nanmu wooden chairs are arranged on both sides, but it looks grand and rich.
Under the gauze cover of the screens on both sides, the oil lamps are transparent, making the whole house look magnificent, which is not much different from the Lichun Courtyard in North Guanzhong.
I have never seen such a scene in this group of suffering, so I immediately looked straight.
But the old man didn't care about their ugly behavior. He immediately let go of the servant's hand and said with a smile, "You guys, please take your seat. I will tell you to give you some food."
After saying that, he turned his head and said to the servant beside him, "Tell me something to the kitchen and prepare a banquet. I want to greet the person who has been dismissed."
