"Is it weird?" Hei Lu'er tilted his head and recalled it carefully, "Why didn't I feel weird? When did you go?"
"It's daytime!" Chu Ruo raised an eyebrow, "It feels eerie during the day, and it's so late at night that I can't be scared to death."
"I was in the middle of the night, oh, to be precise, it was the latter half of the night. Thinking about it, it should be after the scheduled update." Hei Lu'er snorted, "I didn't think there was anything weird. How could you tell that in broad daylight? of?"
"Have you been to the back mountain of Wangyue Cliff in the middle of the night? Or is it very dangerous in the latter half of the night? Why have I never heard of you before? How dangerous it is!" Seeing Hei Lu'er nodding, Chu Ruoyi frowned, very dissatisfied He said, "Why did you stay up in the middle of the night and go to the back mountain? Don't say that you want to explore. Do my subordinates know that you are not that kind of person! Or if you don't want to do it yourself, are you instigated by someone?"
"You have been with me for so many years. When have you ever seen anyone other than the two young masters encourage me to do something I don't want to do?"
"That's not true. But why did you stay up so late at night and run to such a dangerous place?" Chu Ruo looked at Hei Lu'er with disapproval, "In the past, my subordinates didn't know and couldn't control it. Now that you know it, you can't just let yourself mess around. If you don't obey, your subordinates can tell the master directly and let the master take care of you personally."
"Haha, now that you have great power, you dare to complain behind my back, don't you?" Hei Lu'er rolled his eyes, "I have already told the young master about my going to the back mountain, do you still need me? He snorted angrily, "Which road did you take to go to the back mountain? The fork in the road halfway up the mountain?"
"No, it's not!" Chu Ruo shook his head, "My subordinates knew about the forked road halfway up the mountain, but when I went there, that road had been blocked."
"Actually... got banned?"
"Yes, it is not only sealed, but also guarded by soldiers. As long as someone comes close, they will drive away loudly. If you don't stay away in time, you may be arrested and sent to prison for a few days."
"Why is this?"
"Well, I inquired about it, and I guess they are afraid that someone will sneak away to the back mountain. After all, we have learned from many mistakes, and they are also very worried."
"Has anyone sneaked away in recent years?"
"I heard that's the case, but it didn't take long for that road to be blocked. It should have been in the past five years!" Chu Ruo said as he slowly got up from the ground and returned to his seat. "I heard from the owner of the inn at the foot of the mountain that although there are quite a few people who secretly go to the back mountain, I don't know why, but there have been so many people going there in recent years."
"Since when were there soldiers stationed there?"
"The soldiers were stationed a little earlier than the road was closed. It took about ten years, or a little longer. Hey, I didn't listen carefully to how long, and the shopkeeper didn't say it clearly. However, he I listened to the story very carefully and found it very interesting. If I could have met such a person, I would probably..."
"What do you think? What story makes you so yearning for it?"
"It is said that more than ten years ago, the martial arts exam was held that year. Many martial arts students would choose to stay at the foot of Wangyue Cliff, try their luck at Wangyue Cliff, and then rush for the exam in the process. As a result, there were several candidates who participated in the martial arts exam. , not a special teacher, used the excuse to go to Wangyue Cliff, but ended up sneaking to the back mountain through the path halfway up the mountain. Unfortunately, they lost their footing and fell from the cliff. When their companions came back to ask for help, it was already that night."
"Well, keep talking."
"The shopkeeper said that those children were young, arrogant and self-righteous. They thought they were good at martial arts and did not take his words to heart. As a result, they ended up like this. Fortunately, the people who called for help were very timely and the rescuers were also very timely. Although their injuries looked serious, they were actually just flesh wounds. In any case, their lives were saved. It is said that they participated in the martial arts test that year despite being physically disabled and strong-willed. Although their results were not good, they were considered good. Give yourself an explanation." Chu Ruo blinked and shook his head in disapproval, "Now that I think about it, these martial arts students are indeed unlucky. Not only did they bring bad luck to themselves, but they also hurt others."
"Involved others?" Hei Lu'er frowned, "Involved who?"
"Little Master, you don't know that these unlucky warriors originally settled in that inn. This is what the shopkeeper said personally. After those warriors were rescued, the shopkeeper and the waiters were warned However, I was fined a huge amount of money! Isn't this implicated? What is it? The shopkeeper said that the officials are right. They must remind the guests who live in the hotel and are top-notch, especially the young and energetic ones. Guests, don’t go exploring in the back mountains with any luck, and don’t be so bold as to think that because you are so powerful, nothing will happen to you. Once you think like this, nine and a half times out of ten, something will happen.”
"The shopkeeper was fined?" Hei Lu'er frowned slightly, feeling a little guilty. If he had known about this earlier, he should have gone to comfort him in person. "How much was the shopkeeper fined?"
"I don't know." Chu Ruo shook his head gently, "Isn't this a sad thing for others, so I don't have the nerve to ask. However, the shopkeeper also said that although those unlucky martial arts students were bold and reckless, their companions were sensible. Yes, if they had listened to the dissuasion of the two sensible boys and not taken risks, they would not have caused such trouble. And if the two boys had not insisted on staying in the inn, they would not have even asked for help. No."
"Ha, we should have let them fend for themselves at that time, so as not to be embarrassed!" Hei Lu'er sneered, "I saved them, but it only hurt the old shopkeeper. They are really a bunch of unlucky people!"
"Huh?" Chu Ruo squinted his eyes and tilted his head to look at Hei Lu'er, "Little Master, what are you doing..." He slapped his thigh fiercely, "You are not the two sensible little brothers. One of them, right? No, right?"
"Why not?" Hei Lu'er snorted, "Although your little master is not a very good person, he should be considered a philanthropic person, right? Do you make such a fuss about doing something good? Is it because of you? In your eyes, am I just unwilling to save you? If I were unwilling to save you, I wouldn’t have saved you in the first place!”
"Young master, please forgive me. It's your subordinate who made a mistake." Chu Ruo laughed playfully, "Young master, please forgive your subordinate!"
"It's just this once, we won't do it next time." Hei Lu'er snorted, "Tell me, where did you turn to the back mountain from, and what did you see there."
