Chapter 494: Mysterious Old Man
As long as he can bring these things back, and then light a fire, and the rest of the firewood is baked, it can naturally be burned.
A few of them went in and searched around, and sure enough, they found some dilapidated tables and stools.
With these things, he was about to leave, but he didn't expect to run into a few people.
These were the same people who brought Mu Yan here yesterday, and they were also very surprised when they saw Mu Yan.
He hurriedly spoke, "Sir, why did you come here?" ”
"As you can see, come and pick up some firewood. I am afraid that the rain will not stop for a while, so I live in a ruined temple in the east of the city, and the frost and dew are heavy at night. ”
There was a trace of puzzlement in the eyes of those people, yesterday Mu Yan could clearly give them so many silver tickets, but now he lives in a broken temple?
What's more, looking at the few people around him now, they are clearly beggars.
For a moment, the triangular eye was full of doubts.
"Why do you live in a ruined temple? If it's really difficult, can you go to our humble house without disgust? ”
Mu Yan shook his head: "There are still some things to do there, send these things back first." What are you doing here? ”
Triangle Eye was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "A few days ago, a group of refugees suddenly poured in here, and the previous son gave us such a great favor, so we can't enjoy it ourselves."
We're going to settle these people first, and they're all strong people, and it would be great if we could take them for ourselves. ”
Mu Yan frowned: "A few days ago, there was an influx of refugees? Where did these people come from, and as far as I know, the gates are not strictly guarded? ”
The triangular eye shook his head: "We don't know about this, it's just that we met and pointed out a place to live for them." ”
"Where are they?"
"In the innermost room of the row of houses in front of me, there are about a dozen people, most of them young and strong."
Mu Yan suddenly became vigilant in his heart, not to mention the city gate, how they came in by looking at the mobile phone.
With the identity of this group of young strong men, it doesn't seem to be some kind of refugee.
I'm afraid this is not a simple person.
The rain was still falling, dripping on the ground, including the oil-paper umbrellas they were holding.
The alley was dark from beginning to end, except for the lamp they were carrying, which gave off a little light.
Mu Yan looked around, I don't know if it was because of the rain or for whatever reason, he always felt that this place was a little cold.
He said, "Don't go until you find out who they are." I'll be back when I send these things to the ruined temple, where do you live? ”
When Triangle Eye heard this, he pointed him to the place where they lived.
Mu Yan looked at it from afar, and this place was not far from the broken temple in the east of the city.
"You take the people back first! Remember to keep the doors and windows closed, I'll be there later. ”
Seeing that he looked nervous, and when he said this, the triangular eyes became vigilant: "But what happened?" ”
"It's not certain yet, listen to me, you guys go first!"
He nodded, giving them a reassuring look.
There was a slight entanglement in the triangular eyes, but finally he nodded resolutely, and the person who followed him turned around and left.
Mu Yan also hurriedly hugged the firewood and the beggars and said, "Let's go back first!" ”
Seeing this, the beggars didn't ask him, after all, this was a matter that belonged to Mu Yan alone.
If Mu Yan wanted to harm them, he would definitely have done it early in the morning, so why would he wait until now?
Soon they returned to the ruined temple with these things, and Mu Yan handed them a fire fold and said, "You will light the fire by yourself, everything is arranged here, and I will leave first." ”
Everyone didn't expect him to leave at this moment, seeing that it was too late, and it was about to get dark.
Yesterday, the old woman said, "This boy is going to get dark this day, even if you have something urgent, you should stay here for one night first, right?" ”
Mu Yan shook his head: "I still have some things to do, and I have already promised them, and I can't easily break my promise." ”
Then he stood up and prepared to leave, when someone in the crowd asked, "Can you tell us who you are?" ”
"Yes, we won't tell anyone about it, we just want to pray for you in our hearts, thank you for your great kindness!"
Mu Yan pondered in his heart, hesitated for a moment and said, "He Baishao." ”
He wasn't prepared to give out his real name, so it wasn't necessarily that anyone here would betray him, but it wasn't a reliable decision for their own safety.
After saying that, Mu Yan opened his legs and prepared to leave, but he never thought that the old man would catch up with him directly.
"Childe stays."
He pulled Mu Yan out a few steps and walked under the eaves.
"Childe's surname is Mu?"
Mu Yan didn't expect that this old man would guess his surname, but also, this surname He is still too rare after all.
I'm afraid that except for those beggars, people with a little bit of culture can guess what they are saying.
"Sure enough, your identity is not ordinary. Are you ready to reveal your identity when you call me like this? ”
The old man shook his head: "I only need to ask Childe one question, do you want to rush over there now?" ”
He raised his hand and pointed in the direction not far away, where they had been.
Mu Yan had a faint doubt in his heart, although he knew early on that this old man was not an ordinary person.
Judging from the current situation, he still has something closely related to himself.
"How did you find out?"
The old man spoke, "If I say I'm here I'm staring at them!" ”
"So, you know who they are?"
The old man's eyes were calm, and he nodded very indifferently: "I didn't expect that Gongzi would also be suspicious of them, but I can tell you bluntly that there is indeed a problem with the identity of these people." ”
"Why are you telling me this?"
Mu Yan looked into the distance, the day suddenly became dark, and at this moment, there seemed to be a huge beast in the distance with its mouth open waiting to devour everything.
The old man spoke: "Because your surname is Mu." ”
He stood side by side with Mu Yan behind his hands and looked into the distance, and said, "Although Gongzi is wearing a hat to cover his face, he has ignored one point. ”
The old man stretched out his finger and pointed to the jade plaque hanging from his waist.
"I don't know your jade plate, but I do. I wonder if Childe has ever heard a common saying? ”
"What?"
"The king is in the city, the ghost is on the road, the dragon covers his eyes, and he can't say that there are natural and man-made disasters; The south is shining from the night sky, and there is the glory of Wang Yue in the north, and he returns to the dynasty, and there is less white luck, but it is the prosperity of the world. ”
Mu Yan's eyes trembled, how could he forget this sentence?
Whenever he thought of this, Mu Yan would recall how the old man who had withered in the past shouted this sentence with them with emotion.
"How did you hear that?"
The old man shook his head: "I'm afraid no one knows the origin of this word, after the fall of the previous dynasty, this word was widely spread among the people.
It's just that he was suppressed by the first emperor later, so only some old people know this.
The power of these words is far greater than you think, not to mention that if my guess is correct, you deliberately hung this jade plaque around your waist. ”
Mu Yan smiled: "Since you don't want to say your identity, I maintain respect, as for this jade plate, I did deliberately hang it on my waist." ”
He just wanted to see if anyone knew about it, and if he did, it would prove that it was someone from the previous dynasty.
Whether it is an enemy or his own people, they always have to surface slowly, and now Mu Yan doesn't have so much time to guess and wait.
"But what are you doing when you call me? Stop me from going to those people? ”
The old man nodded: "You can rest assured for the time being, they won't do anything to the people around them, and besides, I already know what they are here for." ”
Mu Yan frowned: "I always feel that these people are dangerous people, but there are still some people living around there, and it won't endanger their safety, right?" ”
"I can't guarantee that, after all, that's what they're trying to do."
Mu Yan instantly became nervous when he heard this: "What do you mean?" What is the purpose of these people? ”
He sighed and was a little anxious: "If you know the truth, please tell me quickly, those people are not extremely vicious, if something happens because of this, I will definitely feel guilty." ”
Seeing this, the old man turned his head and glanced at it, and saw that the people in the ruined temple were all sitting together very calmly.
Now they had parted the quilt, and the mattress on the floor was not soft, but it was much better than the hay.
Only then did the old man turn his head and whisper: "Yan Chen, who is contemptible and has been just a man in the rivers and lakes in his early years.
Some time ago, I accidentally learned about the intentions of some people, so I was in this ruined temple. As far as I know, some people have wanted to target some outsiders in recent times. ”
"But there are many outsiders in this city, how can you be sure that it is from the east of this city?"
"The first thing they do is to target people who are in dense crowds, and when they are discovered, they can have a huge effect.
In addition, there are outsiders, because they have no relatives and no reason, and no one will make decisions for them after they are killed.
The largest group of beggars gathered in the ruined temple in the east of the city, and the others were scattered, and few of them gathered here.
So I've been here to protect them for a long time, and those people haven't done anything. As for those outsiders, it seems to me that they also have some ability, and they are not so easy to kill. ”
The old man helped him analyze, but Mu Yan still felt a little uneasy.
"Even if it is true that those people are capable of doing what you say, it is believed that the person who was sent to carry out the mission is not a good one."
He didn't ask who had sent it, after all, it was his ability for the old man to know the news.
