, the fastest update of the goddess’s wealthy son-in-law (also known as: the goddess’s super son-in-law, protagonist: Zhao Xu)!
The uncle shook his head and said to Zhao Xu: "Brother, let me tell you the truth. No one in our village has been to Mengjiangyuan."
"Never been there? Then how come you know so much about Meng Jiangyuan?" Zhao Xu frowned.
The uncle sighed and said, "Although we have never been there, it doesn't mean we haven't heard of this place."
"Then does anyone know the location of Meng Jiangyuan?"
"You keep walking forward and cross a river. There is a thatched house there, and there lives an old woman in her fifties. She is a foreigner and the only person who has been to Mengjiangyuan."
Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked his uncle, and continued moving forward with everyone.
Everywhere they passed, people in the village stared at them with strange eyes, giving people an uncomfortable feeling.
It's like staring at Tang Monk's meat, everyone wants to take a bite.
Hua Yi whispered to Zhao Xu: "The people in this village look so strange!"
"It's a little strange. However, we are only going to Mengjiangyuan to collect medicine. As long as they don't provoke us, we should try not to cause trouble."
After walking through the village for about two kilometers, a river bed five or six meters wide appeared in front of us.
A simple wooden pontoon was built on the river, with only a few pieces of wood tied together.
On the other side of the river, there is indeed a thatched house.
Zhao Xu looked excited and said, "It seems like this is it!"
The river is not very deep, but the water is very strong.
With the effort of a few people, crossing this floating bridge can be said to be like walking on flat ground.
After everyone successfully crossed the pontoon bridge, they came to the thatched house.
Zhao Xu said loudly: "Is there anyone in the house?"
With a creak, an old woman opened the door and walked out.
The old woman was hunched over. She looked like she had a disease in her waist and was unable to straighten her waist.
Judging from the appearance of the old woman, she looks like she is in her early fifties.
The old woman rolled her triangular eyes, stared at Zhao Xu and others and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Zhao Xu stepped forward and said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, we are going to Mengjiangyuan. I heard that you have been to this place. Can you show us the way to Mengjiangyuan and tell us about Mengjiangyuan?" Case."
The old woman snorted angrily and said, "Huh! I'm not related to you, so why should I tell you?"
Nong Quan on the side saw the old woman's arrogant look and immediately became angry.
He said angrily to the old woman: "You old woman, you'd better talk to my young grandfather. Otherwise, I will tear your body bones apart."
The old woman sneered and said coldly to Nong Quan: "You're a young man with such a bad temper, it's hard to become a great person! It's hard to become a great person."
"you......"
Nongquan didn't wait for Nongquan to retort.
Zhao Xu shouted to Nong Quan: "Nong Quan, don't talk too much!"
Huayi on the side stepped forward and said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, we won't let you reveal the information in vain. As long as you tell us the location of Meng Jiangyuan, you can set a price! We will just pay you."
The old woman said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just because the place in Mengjiangyuan is very dangerous. I advise you to give up this idea. Otherwise, you don't know how you died. Also, stay away from this village as soon as possible, this village Everyone in the world has a bad temper."
After saying that, he walked back to the thatched house and closed the door.
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment.
I asked about feelings for a long time, but nothing came out.
Everyone is saying that the place "Mengjiangyuan" is dangerous.
With Zhao Xu's character, of course he knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel in the mountains with tigers.
He spoke out to the old woman in the thatched house and said, "Mother-in-law, we will camp here until you tell us the location of Meng Jiangyuan."
"You can do whatever you want! Don't blame me for not warning you. This place is very dangerous!"
It was getting dark soon, and Zhao Xu and others had nowhere to go.
The terrain here is flat and close to the river. It is a rare and good place.
So, under the command of Zhao Xu, everyone began to set up camp nearby.
In the evening, Zhao Xu deliberately took out the hidden dried fish and roasted it on the bonfire.
He didn't believe that the old woman could resist the temptation of delicious food.
As a result, the grilled fish was almost finished, and there was no trace of the old woman.
Xu Lingzhu said to Zhao Xu: "Why didn't I notice anyone in the thatched house? Isn't the old woman gone?"
"No way! We haven't seen her leave since we arrived."
"Go and knock on the door and take a look. I always feel that something is wrong." Xu Lingzhu said.
Zhao Xu said "Yeah!" and walked to the thatched house with the last skewer of grilled fish in his hand.
He reached out and knocked on the door, shouting: "Mother-in-law, I brought you grilled fish. Please open the door."
"Mother-in-law!"
"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law!..."
Zhao Xu called several times, but no one answered.
Pushing the door gently, the door was locked.
Zhao Xu carefully used his inner strength to detect it, and indeed he didn't notice anyone in the thatched house.
He couldn't help but frown, and murmured to himself: "It's strange, where did the person go?"
If Zhao Xu had his character, he would definitely break in and check the other party's situation.
But now he has someone to ask for, and Zhao Xu is worried that this move will anger the old woman.
If the other party is angered, then the other party will definitely not tell his group the location of "Meng Jiangyuan".
In desperation, he could only turn around and walk back.
Said to Xu Lingzhu: "There is indeed no one in the house! And the door is locked from behind. How strange."
Xu Lingzhu pondered for a while and said: "Then there is only one possibility. There is a secret passage in that thatched house. Otherwise, it is impossible for the old woman to leave that thatched house without us knowing."
Zhao Xu believes that Xu Lingzhu's analysis is reasonable.
He asked Xu Lingzhu, "Lingzhu, should we go into the thatched house and take a look?"
"It's better not to do it! We have something to ask for. If the old woman finds out, she is not willing to tell us Meng Jiangyuan's location."
That night, Zhao Xu and his party stayed near the thatched house.
Early the next morning, when Zhao Xu woke up, it was already sunrise.
I heard Xu Lingzhu and Hua Yi chatting and looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
He rarely sleeps for such a long time, and basically three to four hours of sleep a day is enough.
I didn't pay attention at the moment, thinking that I was tired from the past two days.
He stretched his waist and walked out of the tent.
"Morning, Lingzhu! Morning, Sister Hua!"
"Good morning, young master." Nong Quan greeted Zhao Xu.
Hua Yi smiled and said to Zhao Xu, "You two got up really late. Where is Qingqing? She hasn't gotten up yet, right?"
Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this.
He asked anxiously: "Isn't Qingqing coming out?"
"No!" Hua Yi looked surprised.
Zhao Xu immediately returned to the camp and searched it carefully.
But the tent is just such a big place, and the situation inside can be seen at a glance.
His wife has mysteriously disappeared!
