Chapter 761: Exceptions
Feng Changqi's words reminded him of some of the past, and the expression on his face changed slightly, but soon, this change was completely covered up by him: "I don't know what you are looking for in this dense forest, I grew up here, and I may be able to help you." ”
Feng Changqi glanced at Yu Wuwang, and when he saw him nodding, he said to the star: "Water in the wood." ”
Picking up the star looked confused: "I've never heard anyone talk about such a thing, you're sure you're not looking for the wrong place"
Nameless shook his head and said, "We're sure the water in the wood is here, we just don't know where it grows. Before we entered the forest, we were told that there was a mountain peak in this mountain range, and there was a lake on it, and that the water in the wood we were looking for grew in the lake. Since you grew up here, you must know where the lake is."
Picking the star was stunned for a moment, half-lowered his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know." ”
But the expression on his face didn't look like he didn't know at all, thinking of the conversation he had with the woman before, Feng Changqi realized that there was a possibility.
"Will we get you in trouble if we stay here, I just heard that girl say that outsiders"
Picking Star quickly replied, "You can stay here, as long as you stay in my house and don't go anywhere, you'll be fine." By the way, the kind of thing you're looking for is very important to you."
Feng Changqi nodded: "It's very important, even if it costs my life, I must get it." ”
The life was originally given by A-Niang, if her life can be exchanged for A-Niang's peace, Feng Changqi will definitely give away his life without hesitation, as long as the poison on A-Niang's body can be unraveled, as long as she can recover, let her do anything, "Since the Star Picking Patriarch doesn't know the whereabouts of the water in the wood, then we won't stay long, and we will leave tomorrow." But until then, can the Star-Picking Patriarch carefully mention the dangers that may be encountered in the dense forest before listening to the conversation between you and the girl, it seems that there is something more terrifying in this dense forest than a ferocious beast?"
Picking the star was stunned again, he showed an indescribable expression, as if he was very shocked: "You don't even know what is in the forest, so you dare to come in"
After the shock, Picking Star told them about the biggest crisis in the jungle.
It turns out that in addition to the ferocious beasts in the dense forest, there is also a terrifying creature, they are all black, like human and non-human, with extremely powerful poison, by hunting animals for a living, very fierce, ordinary swords can not help it at all.
"We call this terrifying monster the Mountain Charm, they are usually active at night, you should all pay attention to the stones outside the city when you enter the city, those stones are used to prevent the Mountain Charm from entering the city, and there is a special charm on it that can stop the Mountain Charm's movements."
After walking such a long way, no one has ever touched such a thing, even the oldest nameless is a little surprised.
"I've never heard anything so weird."
Picking Star smiled bitterly and said, "We don't know where these monsters came from, only that they will operate in the dense forest. ”
Feng Changqi shuddered, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, since there are such terrible monsters in this dense forest, then why don't people want to leave, isn't it better to live in another place than to continue to live here, there are no such terrible monsters outside
She has never been a person who can hide things, and when she is confused, she immediately asks.
Picking the stars was not surprised by her question, because this question had been asked more than once, and he half-lowered his face: "We are different from the people outside-"
"The patriarch's house is so lively today."
A voice suddenly came from outside the door, and everyone looked back when they heard the voice, but Feng Changqi was keenly aware that when he heard this voice, his reaction seemed to be a little unusual.
Before she could figure out why, a man walked in through the door.
It was a young man in his early twenties, handsome, with a special scar under his left eye, he had a smile on his face, and strode into everyone's sight: "I didn't expect that there would be guests in our patriarch's house, it's really a rare guest." When my dad heard that there was a guest, he asked me to bring something over. ”
As he spoke, he raised the things in his hand, and then Feng Changqi realized that he had a small bamboo basket in his hand.
The young man stuffed the bamboo basket into the hand of the picker, greeted everyone with a smile, and said, "My name is Anan, and I am also from this small city, and I live next door to the picker. Alas, our small city has not had a guest for many years, and today there is a sudden arrival of guests, and everyone is very curious. It's just that I didn't dare to come out because I was shy. ”
Feng Changqi smiled politely at Anan, and the whole person seemed to be different from the rest of the town.
The other people in the city, like the woman who came to help Moon Dance deal with her injuries just now, avoided outsiders like snakes and scorpions, but not only did this one not feel afraid, but even took the initiative to greet them, outsiders, and the timing of his arrival was too clever.
Anan really seemed to have just come to deliver something, and after putting down his things and greeting everyone, he immediately left the house.
Picking stars also stood up: "It's not too early to say, I'll go make some dinner first, the house is not big, and the guests are at their own convenience." ”
With that, he hurried out of the living room.
Everyone looked at each other, only thinking that it was extremely strange, this small city was full of strangeness, obviously not a suitable place to stay, and they would leave this small city early tomorrow morning.
None of the others did this, but Zuiqiu was the only one who objected.
She said in disbelief: "Didn't you hear what he said clearly just now, there is a mountain charm in this dense forest, such a terrible thing will crisscross the dense forest, and you guys, let's not go, shouldn't we stay here before we find this law to ensure that we are absolutely safe?"
While everyone's eyes turned to Zuiqiu, Feng Changqi quietly left the living room.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw the figure of Xingxing flashing by, looking at the direction he was walking, as if he was going to see someone, Feng Changqi hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow, she quietly approached Xingxing, hiding behind a tree and eavesdropping. As she expected, the star hurriedly left the living room not because of dinner at all, but purely to meet someone.
"He knows," this is the voice of the star.
"Of course I do." This is the voice of the young man who came to pick up the stars to deliver things just now, he said with a smile, "When you brought people into the city, you made such a big noise, everyone knows about it, not to mention him, you must know that there are many people in this city who are his eyeliner, I just sent things over, and I was instructed by him." ”
Picking the star gasped, and his voice trembled a little for no reason: "He didn't say anything"
"No, he didn't say anything when he asked me to deliver something, and even I can't guess what he's thinking, maybe it's like this when people get old." Anan patted Xingxing's shoulder and let him relax, "It's inevitable that people will be a little confused when they get old, you don't need to take care of the old man, I'll take care of it for you if something happens." I'll pay more attention to the situation on his side, and I'll tell you as soon as I have something. By the way, you've never been a push-hearted person, and you're very cautious in everything you do, so why did you bring people from outside to the city this time, aren't you afraid?"
"They have a life-saving grace for Moon Dance, and I can't watch them die at the hands of the Mountain Charm."
"It's that little girl again, she keeps causing trouble for you"
Then they said some trivial things, Feng Changqi most of them didn't understand, and estimated that important things would not be talked about anymore, so Feng Changqi quietly returned to the house, at the same time, Yu Wuwang stood outside the door and waited, seeing that she came back safely, Yu Wuwang breathed a sigh of relief: "Where did you go just now?"
"Master, I just walked around, and I didn't go anywhere." Feng Changqi smiled and blinked.
She obviously didn't tell the truth, but Yu Wuwang didn't pursue it, just took her hand and said, "Take me with you wherever you go in the future, so as not to be in danger." ”
"Got it, got it."
It was soon dark, and when he returned home, he did not say what he had just wanted to say, but prepared a meal for the reception, and only after dinner did he begin to tell his guests not to leave their rooms at will: "This city is not the same as outside, and unless there are special circumstances, you generally cannot leave the room at night, no matter what sounds you hear." ”
Feng Changqi frowned: "No matter what sound you hear, you can't go out"
"Yes."
The repeated advice of the star picker made everyone more and more confused, because they knew that they could not get the answer they wanted from the star picker, so they didn't ask more.
Feng Changqi's worried appearance made Yu Wuwang very distressed, he took her hand and asked in a low voice: "Is Qi'er worried about Your Majesty, rest assured, there will be nothing over there, as long as we find Mu Zhongshui and go back in time, nothing will happen." ”
Feng Changqi nodded, she lowered her voice and asked, "Master, tonight"
"You can sleep at ease, and I'll do everything."
That being said, how could Feng Changqi be able to sleep
This strange city, as well as the dangerous dense forest, not only confuse their hearts, but also make their future full of all kinds of uncertainties, if they fail to find the water in their eyes and return in time, the consequences are unimaginable.
Feng Changqi was thinking worriedly, when she suddenly heard a scream outside, as well as hurried footsteps, all kinds of sounds mixed together, like a hook that aroused the doubts in her heart: "Master, do you say that something happened outside, I can seem to hear someone shouting."
Yu Wuwang also heard: "You stay in the room, I'll go out and have a look." ”
