Chapter 107 Deep Mountains and Old Forests(1/2)
Afterwards...
In the study,
Gu Hao asked: "Nianqiu, I have been in retreat this month. What special things happened in Yunzhou Jianghu?"
"Go back to the young master, there are no big things, but there are many small things."
"For example?"
Jiang Nianqiu smiled and said: "Sir, you are going to be a father."
"What?"
Gu Hao was shocked. Was it Ye Yuntian's fault again?
Only after Jiang Nianqiu finished explaining did Gu Hao understand what he meant...
The matter of 'recognizing father' was really not done by Ye Yuntian, it was entirely an accident caused by him.
After some calculations, the other sects didn't care, and the two sworn brothers probably couldn't shirk it. In addition, although they have never acknowledged it, the whole Yunzhou world has accepted Song Siyun as the default.
When he came out of seclusion this time, he suddenly had one more child and two godsons, which is really an exaggeration.
Gu Hao asked: "By the way, what is Ye Long doing during this time?"
The major sects in Yunzhou jointly came to force the palace. The incident happened at the same time that Ye Long returned to Ye Mansion, which makes people have to wonder if there is any relationship.
During the banquet, although Ye Long watched the whole show and didn't say a word to him, Gu Hao observed it carefully and found nothing unusual.
It is said that Ye Long is the mastermind behind the scenes. Either it is a misunderstanding or it is hidden so deeply that it cannot be seen at all.
Before the retreat, Gu Hao specifically told the maid to pay more attention to Ye Long's movements. If the other party really had an idea, it would be impossible for him to remain inactive.
Jiang Nianqiu recalled what happened in Ye Mansion in the past month or so, shook his head and said: "The second master did nothing special after the young master retreated."
"For more than a month, he stayed in Ye Mansion and did nothing?"
"The second master is not in Ye Mansion. He went out two days ago."
"Where are you going?"
"Hunting Villa."
Gu Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Hunting Villa... didn't he just go there last month?"
"Sir, since I inherited the title of Lord of Ye Mansion, Second Master has developed a hobby of hunting. No matter whether I am here or not, even if I have disappeared for more than half a year, Second Master will still go hunting every month."
"Will you go every month, rain or shine?"
"Yes."
Jiang Nianqiu has been in Ye Mansion for some years, and Ye Long's hobby of hunting is well known to the whole family. It has not changed even when Ye Yuntian was away.
Gu Hao muttered: "It's a bit strange..."
It is understandable that ordinary people are obsessed with hunting. Mortals gain a certain sense of satisfaction by killing creatures that are weaker or more ferocious than themselves.
But when it comes to first-class martial arts masters, this point is completely untrue. Let alone ordinary wild boars and rabbits, even hunting ferocious beasts such as black bears and tigers is very easy for first-class masters, and there is no sense of achievement at all.
Is hunting related to Ye Long’s martial arts state of mind?
Gu Hao quickly shook his head and denied this conjecture.
If Ye Long's martial arts state of mind is really related to hunting, it will definitely be reflected in Ye Long.
The state of mind of martial arts subtly affects the daily behavior of warriors all the time. Gu Hao did not feel the smell of cruelty, murder or blood from Ye Long.
Gu Hao asked: "Nianqiu, where is that hunting villa and what is its background?"
"Hunting Villa is located in a small village less than ten kilometers outside Yunzhou City. It is one of Ye Mansion's industries."
"Ye Yuntian also knows that Ye Long goes hunting every month?"
Jiang Nianqiu nodded: "Yes, I know."
"What did he say?"
"No, I rarely care about the second master's affairs."
"Have Ye Yuntian been to that hunting villa?"
"The uncle has no interest in hunting. He never goes to the hunting villa. Maybe he knows that the second uncle doesn't like to see him."
Gu Hao thought for a while and said: "Nianqiu, tomorrow you tell everyone in the house that I will continue to retreat and everything in the house will remain as usual."
"Okay, sir."
Jiang Nianqiu didn't ask why. She knew that the young master must have a reason for doing this, so she just obeyed.
……
The next day,
Ten kilometers outside Yunzhou City, a small village.
The population here is sparsely populated, and the whole village only has a few dozen households, which add up to about a hundred people, so it is very small.
The villagers live by hunting and farming, and the women also make some handicrafts. Salesmen will come here every once in a while to sell some supplies and buy some local specialties.
Although not bustling, it is quiet and peaceful.
There are only a few people in the village, everyone knows everyone, and they can always say hello a few times when they pass by.
Once a stranger comes to visit, the big yellow dog at the entrance of the village will bark endlessly to alert the whole village.
"Woof woof woof——!"
Gu Hao encountered this situation at this time. The big yellow dog at the entrance of the village kept barking at him.
There was a wicker chair at the entrance of the village, and an old man was sitting on it. His hair was gray and he was a little thin but he still looked energetic. He stood up and asked: "Young hero, are you here to hunt the villa?"
In their small village, there are not many salesmen on weekdays, let alone other visitors.
"Dahuang, don't make any noise!"
The old man shouted, and the big yellow dog immediately stopped barking, curled up its tail and lay on the ground, very honest.
Gu Hao has been disguised, and it can be seen from his clothes that he is a member of the world. Most likely, such people come here to go to the hunting villa.
It is not a secret that Ye Long likes hunting. Many people in Yunzhou Jianghu know that in order to find opportunities to get close to Ye Long, some people will come here.
However, not many people like this can get what they want. If they really see Ye Long, they will probably get a severe beating.
Ye Long doesn't like to be disturbed by outsiders during hunting, especially when it comes to people with hidden agendas. He is rude and never shows mercy when it's time to take action.
As time goes by, fewer and fewer people come to the hunting villa, but there are always people who do not believe in evil and come to try their luck.
"Are there many people like me?"
The old man knew it, and Gu Hao also knew it before he came, so he didn't hide it deliberately, so that it would be conspicuous but not conspicuous.
The old man said: "It wasn't much at first, but I don't know why recently, there are more."
Gu Hao smiled, of course he knew why.
In the past month or so, Ye Mansion has been gaining momentum in Yunzhou, and more and more people have come to try their luck.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gu Hao took out a small piece of broken silver, which was not a small amount in a poor mountain village.
"Old man, can you give me some advice?"
Money can make all the difference, and it works everywhere.
The old man's face was not red, he was out of breath, he accepted the money, and said: "I can't give you any advice, but I want to give you a reminder. Mr. Long is not in a good mood recently, so don't try to get into trouble. There was someone who refused to listen to me two days ago.
I went to find Mr. Long, but I got punched. Now I am still lying down and unable to get up."
There are no regular doctors in their poor and remote countryside. There is only one barefoot doctor in the village. It is not clear how many decades he has lived in the village.
Huang Chiji didn't know any medical skills at all, so he just relied on a few prescriptions to treat colds and fevers, otherwise the person wouldn't be lying down now.
After being beaten by Mr. Long here, I can only resign myself to fate. If I can survive it, I will survive it. If I can't survive it, if I die, I can just find a place to bury it.
Gu Hao chatted with the old man for a while, got some information he wanted, and then left. Following the old man's words, he found the location of the inn in the village.
What kind of inn is this? They are just small wooden houses, which are the houses of villagers.
The wooden house that Gu Hao was interested in belonged to an old woman. When he saw the gray-haired old man, he thought about changing to another one. But when he saw the old lady happily taking the money, he felt that this was actually not the case.
Not bad.
Recently, there have been more outsiders in the village. In order to make some money, the villagers have given up their houses and found neighbors to squeeze in.
Don’t steal or rob, just make money, don’t be shabby.
The wooden house was very simple, with wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden beds, and a stove. It was a house and a place to stay. Gu Hao didn't care.
He paid attention to his surroundings. There were also outsiders living in a few nearby houses. They were obviously dressed differently from the villagers. They knew each other, but there was no communication. No one talked to anyone. The basic purpose was the same. Gu Hao was an exception.<
/p>
Because Ye Long often comes here, these people dare not act recklessly in the village to avoid leaving a bad impression.
