After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 35 Meeting a bad old man at night

Ziyu, who was regarded as a fairy, appeared at the place where he disappeared, and the ever-changing mule cart came out with him.

 Under the crescent moon.

The chirping of insects has become the main theme in the mountains, and the shadows of the whirling trees sway in the wind, like the man-eating monster with its teeth and claws.

 Two windproof lights suddenly turned on, hanging on both sides of the car and swaying as they moved.

The fat and strong mule, full of energy after two days of rest, walked slowly under the moonlight without using Ziyu's whip.

Even Ziyu, who was extremely brave, tightened her clothes tightly and put on a coat to feel warmer.

“Damn old man, what do you want to do?

"I'm from Bailu Mountain, a small tribe among millions of mountains. When I left, the population was less than a hundred people. I don't know what's going on now. Our place is covered in ice and snow for most of the year.

Even if there are villages, they are poor and small. The nearest county town is Xin'an City, which is more than 200 miles away and is five times smaller than Bali Town. "

 “Damn old man, what do you think of the weather now?”

I have been chasing him for two days. I thought it was hopeless, but I didn’t expect you to be behind me. "

Took out a bag of flour cakes and a water bag of purple jade, sat by the haystack and watched the old man lighting up the fire.

The bad old man licked his face and leaned under the lamp, stroking the beard on his face to reveal the face that looked unrecognizable underneath.

“Bring the hurricane lantern over and tell me its location in detail.”

 “Oh, the young master is merciful, but the old man has old bones and can’t stand the torment.”

I climbed up from that mountain back then, and it can be said that I experienced a near-death experience.

Ziyu was so frightened that the fire stick in her hand flew towards the sound, and the soft whip on her wrist also whipped out.

"Haha, the only one who can really sit down and listen to the old man's words is the young master."

 Surrounded by towering mountains, the water on the snow-capped mountains melts and falls into the valley, forming a natural lake.

 “How many people know that place exists?”

The old man was stunned by Ziyu's nonsensical words, and then he came to his senses.

“Sir, I am a human being and I still have heat. If you don’t believe me, just touch it!

“Oh, Master, you really asked the right person!

 As far as I know, whenever there is heavy snow for too long, the growth period of crops will be affected..."

 The sound of hoofbeats could be heard far away in the empty night. Ziyu touched the soft whip that never left her wrist, feeling reassured.

It just so happens that the bay is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and no village can be found within dozens of miles.

The hay smoked for a while before being ignited. Ziyu threw the bread and water bag in her hand to Old Man Zao.

 You are the third person I have met who is willing to give me food, but you are the first person who is willing to sit down and listen to me. "

The bad old man turned up the fire even more, added a handful of branches, and started talking in a self-deprecating tone.

Judging from the situation on the map, that area is at the junction of several remote tribes and the Baiyun Kingdom.

Meeting such a person in the middle of the night, Ziyu didn't want to leave. She really wanted to hear what secrets this old man had.

Ziyu waved his hand to interrupt him, stood up, took out the pictures from the mule cart, and unfolded them by the fire.

“The area in the valley including the lake is about one thousand acres of land. I measured it with my foot stick at that time.

It can be said to be a no-care zone. Coupled with the high and precipitous mountains and harsh climate, naturally no one will live here.

I was asking around along the way, and someone said you were going this way, so I caught up with you.

“Young master, have you noticed that the weather is not right?”

 If you don’t tell me clearly, I will bury you on this mountain. "

 To achieve these two points, a large amount of manpower and abundant funds must be used.

Who can tell her that she can meet someone who is supposed to be in Yaxing on the roadside in the middle of the night? It's really a ghost.

Hooking a fire stick in his hand, he blew it up and played with it. His face, illuminated by the small firelight, looked extremely strange.

 As long as there are large ships, you can go directly to Xanadu from the sea, which is more convenient and faster than the land route.

A sloppy old man with a dirty face and a beard was dragged out from the roadside with a soft whip.

According to the old man, the place is a good place, but force and infrastructure are indispensable.

I had a grudge against you in my previous life or something, so you kept an eye on me.

The surrounding mountains are full of mature old trees. There are countless trees that two people can hug each other. There are also many wild animals there. "

 When I was young, I liked to travel around and always felt that I could make a difference, but when I got old, I was still lonely and helpless.

Oops, the old man was still looking at Yu Tu and chattering away, but Ziyu looked at Tu and fell into deep thought.

The conditions are extremely difficult. It is at the junction with Baiyun Country, and there is only a high mountain in between.

Ziyu felt excited after hearing this. Isn't that kind of terrain exactly what she wanted?

“Sir, I’m really hungry!

 “Sir, give it to the one who stutters!

 I'm hungry and thirsty. I'll tell you everything in a moment.

He was busy baking the bread on the tree branches again, and waited until the two pieces of bread were eaten before slowing down.

The old man couldn't wait to open the water bag and drank some water. He tightened the water bag and put it in his arms.

 The old man saw that someone was interested in what he said, so he began to tell it in more detail, for fear of missing something.

 You are still afraid that I am an old man and I can’t even break free from your whip. "

“Hold the straw, old man, why is it you?

 There is a large area of ​​fertile land outside the lake. What is even more peculiar is that there is a natural cave entrance in a large mountain.

The shameless old man was not angry at Ziyu's words, and he didn't think it was a shame to ask for something to eat.

"Go to the roadside and light a fire. I won't tell you that you are ugly, but I will boil a handful of your old bones in oil."

 Just think of it as her chatting with a ghost in the middle of the night!

Without Ziyu’s instructions, the old man untied the soft whip from his waist, took the hurricane lantern and dragged out a small pile of hay mixed with branches.

 “Young Master…Young Master…I’ve finally waited for you!”

It even has the name of our tribe. The place I am talking about should be the col behind this mountain.

Hearing the obscene voice, Ziyu took off the hurricane lantern and shined it on the face of the person who was being dragged close.

 …

"I want to hear your opinion. After all, you have been in many places and you must have more knowledge than me."

 Because he had no face to return to his tribe, he had been wandering around in the past few years.

 Away from the hustle and bustle of the world, land, water resources, offshore, mountains, everything is the ideal place in her dream.

When I left the Million Mountains, I discovered a paradise in the mountains, which was a basin-like terrain.

“Sir, your picture is really good, you can tell where it is at a glance.

 The exit of the cave is a bay, where fresh water and sea water meet..."

He ran out in the middle of the night to scare people, whether he was a human or a ghost! "Zi Yu, who was startled, yelled angrily.

Hearing what the old man said like a pyramid scheme, Ziyu knew that he must have something up his sleeve.

Otherwise, why would you draw such a big circle for no reason?
