But the man was sitting on a straw mat, humming a song alone, his hands still tapping on his knees, but he couldn't even shake him.
"Excuse me." Chi Chengzi increased his volume.
Only then did the woman stop humming, opened her mouth wide, and looked at him in surprise.
Chi Chengzi knew that he looked scary. There was no hair on his face, and he looked like a skeleton with a layer of skin accidentally added on.
In order to prevent the woman from being frightened, he changed his previous stern face and softened his tone: "There's something outside..."
Then he couldn't speak anymore.
Because the woman had already walked up to him, reached out and touched his face, trembling her lips: "Oh my god...oh my god..."
Chi Chengzi was shocked when she touched his face, and he froze and did not dare to move.
The woman's accent is different. Logically speaking, this place should not be far from Jiangning Mansion, so the accent should be about the same.
"Oh my god..." She smiled happily, with tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Chichengzi..." Yun Kong's voice came from outside the door with great difficulty: "Will you save me or not?"
Chi Chengzi turned away and took two or three steps back: "Madam, someone is injured and is outside your house."
"There's another one?" She was even more happy.
"Yes." Chi Chengzi thought that the road was wrong, it might be a shady shop.
"I lost my composure," the woman wiped away her tears and smiled apologetically, still staring at Chi Chengzi, "I haven't seen anyone outside for more than 20 years."
Chi Chengzi turned his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
"Pindao..." the woman said curiously, "What is Pindao?"
Chichengzi hates explaining things to people.
"The people outside are injured, please help me first."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, people are here anyway, don't be in a hurry."
Chi Chengzi exhaled, shook his head in annoyance, and muttered: "Why am I so good-tempered?"
The woman watched him help Yun Kong into the house and couldn't hide the joy on her face: "What are your names?"
"I am Chi Chengzi." He no longer used "Pindao", "His name is Yun Kong."
"It's all weird names..."
"It's strange."
"How did you get hurt?"
"Being injured."
"Oh... this is easy to handle..." the woman said and walked out of the door, "Just wait a moment."
Chi Chengzi couldn't help but feel confused for a while when he heard her humming a little tune and left.
He took the opportunity to take a good look inside the cabin. The simple furniture, along with the dried flower bouquets and various fishing and hunting equipment hanging all over the wall, showed that the owner lived a very leisurely life.
"Yunkong, this is a good place to live."
Yun Kong didn't have the strength to answer. Not only was he in pain, he was also very hungry. Today he only had a bowl of fish soup at Zhang Tieqiao's place.
They didn't wait long before the woman came back with a bunch of grass leaves.
"These herbs are very effective..." She placed the herbs on the table, boiled the water, and began to treat Yun Kong's injuries.
Chi Chengzi saw that her skills were skillful, maybe she did this often?
The woman applied the hot herbs to Yun Kong's bruised area. After a while, Yun Kong felt much more comfortable all over.
"My son is often injured, so he can heal quickly with medicine like this."
"Do you have a son?" Chi Chengzi asked casually.
"And a daughter."
"That's great," Chichengzi said calmly, "A boy and a girl are just right."
"Not bad." The woman suddenly showed a hint of sadness.
"Has the lady lived here for a long time?"
"More than twenty years ago."
"My wife just said that she hasn't seen any outsiders in more than twenty years..." Chi Chengzi breathed his last in silence and prepared to launch an offensive.
He was full of suspicion, and he doubted where he was.
Is it a fox cave? Is it a ghost? Is it a black shop?
Or anywhere dangerous enough to threaten life?
If the woman takes any action that is not conducive to him, he will take action without hesitation.
The woman smiled and said, "Stop calling me Niangzi Niangzi. This is called Fa Luanwei. Just call me Sister Jian."
"Sister Jian."
"You are Chi Chengzi, his name is Yunkong."
"Sister Jian has a good memory."
Sister Jian smiled and nodded, then walked out again not knowing what she was doing.
Chi Chengzi stayed for a while, a little at a loss.
"Chi Chengzi..." Yun Kong spoke with more strength.
"What's the matter?"
"Don't act recklessly, she has no demonic aura, she is a human being."
"Yeah." Chi Chengzi was still looking out the door, watching Jian Mei go to pour water first, and then start chopping firewood.
Chi Chengzi walked over slowly and gently took the hatchet in Sister Jian's hand: "I'll help you."
※※※
After staying there for a few days, Yunkong was able to walk.
They also knew that there was only this woman and her two children in this hut, and not a single family nearby.
Jian Mei's son is older, named "Sheng", and her daughter is named "Fengnian".
"Sheng" and "Fengnian" seemed to be around 20 years old. They got up every morning to farm, and sometimes fished or hunted some small animals. Although they lived a happy life, it was too dull.
As light as water.
Perhaps the spiritual energy in this place was strong enough, and Yun Kong's complexion turned out to be better than before the injury. His face gradually turned rosy instead of thin as before.
After I feel better and my consciousness becomes clearer, the side effects are: I feel that I have too much free time, and time becomes difficult to endure.
Yun Kong had nothing to do all day long and didn't want to disturb others anymore, so he wanted to invite Chi Chengzi to retire together.
He also noticed that in the past few days, Chi Chengzi always disappeared early in the morning, leaving him and the woman named Jian Mei to guard the house.
Before leaving, Yun Kong wanted to take a stroll around the area and find out where Chi Chengzi had gone.
He said something to Sister Jian, then walked out and walked around casually.
He was admiring the surrounding mountains both intentionally and unintentionally, and then he was pleasantly surprised to find that almost everything he could see was beautiful.
Oh no, maybe a beautiful word cannot fully describe this scenery.
He admired it greedily and felt that all the scenic spots he had visited before were far inferior to this landscape.
"Heaven's work creates things, even the miraculous workmanship cannot create them." He said to himself.
It has been almost fifteen years since I started walking in the world. The melancholy mood I used to have has long since turned into a worldly temperament. Life is like a turbulent desire for food and clothing, and I have nothing else to ask for.
At this moment, he didn't have to worry about running out of money or food, so he could immerse himself in this landscape.
While he was intoxicated, Chi Chengzi suddenly appeared like a ghost.
As soon as Chi Chengzi appeared, he put his index finger on his lips.
Yunkong was very suspicious, wondering what this person was doing again.
He always felt that Chi Chengzi was sneaky.
Chi Chengzi beckoned him to follow, so he had no choice but to follow him through the woods and across the stream.
Chi Chengzi didn't say a word, and Yun Kong didn't ask him, just waiting for him to speak.
When they came to a small mountain stream, Chi Chengzi motioned to Yun Kong to hide behind a tree and pointed to the creek below.
Yun Kong looked in the direction he pointed and saw a naked man sitting on a protruding rock on the bank of the river, and a naked woman sitting on the man's lap.
The woman's face was red, her eyes were half-closed in intoxication, and she was twitching excitedly. The two people's excited breathing echoed in the mountain stream, and anyone could understand what they were doing.
Just as Yunkong was about to speak, Chi Chengzi immediately pointed to the surrounding mountains. Yunkong understood what he meant: there was a lot of echo here.
The two looked at each other for a while and then left quietly.
※※※
"That was the year of Shenghe and Fengfeng!" Yunkong said, "They are brothers and sisters!"
"I know."
Yunkong and Chi Chengzi were sitting in the echoless woods. At this time, Chi Chengzi planned to figure out a clue: "I will analyze the events of the past few days."
"you say."
"While you are recuperating, I have walked all over the area." After saying that, he looked at Yunkong.
Yun Kong asked uncomfortably: "What?"
"You are always very attentive, didn't you notice what I said?"
"What?"
"I said I was 'all' done."
Chi Chengzi adjusted his sitting posture and looked around coldly: "You can't get out of this place. No matter how you walk, you're still inside... Look, there are mountains on all sides. This is a desperate situation surrounded by mountains."
"You said you can't get out of here?"
"You can't even come in."
"I don't understand, we just came in."
Chi Chengzi tapped his temple with his hand: "When we first arrived, I put you outside the door. Did you hear the conversation between me and Sister Jian?"
"No... I was busy getting angry at the time. I don't know why you took so long."
"Mei Jian said that she hasn't seen outsiders in more than 20 years." Chi Chengzi emphasized, "We are the only outsiders that she has seen in more than 20 years."
