"Aweng, please don't scare them. I think they look gentle and gentle, completely different from those who come to rob the tomb."
Aying saw Wutu's green face and walked over and tugged on the old man's sleeves a few times.
Only then did he stand up and look at Yue Guanchao and the others: "That's not true. People's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourds."
"Let's go. This is not far from my home. I will take you to bandage your wounds."
Aying picked up the sickle and pointed to the woods beside them, where smoke was obviously rising.
"No, it's just a minor injury, it's not a problem."
Yue Guanchao looked at the back of his hand that was cut by weeds when he climbed up. The smile froze on his face. The area around the wound turned faintly black. It looked like he was poisoned.
"The weeds around here are poisonous. If you don't deal with them quickly, the backs of your hands will rot. I, Aweng, happen to be the forest guard. I will take you back."
They couldn't be brave at this time. The three of them looked at each other and followed the grandfather and grandson through the wild forest to the woods on the outermost edge of the town.
Not far away, a courtyard built with stone and covered with yellow mud sits in front, with a wisp of smoke drifting from the chimney.
Aying opened the fence door and led them into the yard. There was a wolfdog tied next to the millstone. Its legs and feet were all thick meat, its coat was black and its claws were sharp. It looked like a good hunting dog.
When this beast saw a stranger approaching, he immediately grinned and raised the hair on his back. The old hunter glared at him and then he lay down in his den whimpering!
"This is where I, Aweng, live. I usually entertain guests here. Sit down quickly and I will find herbs for you right now."
Yue Guanchao looked at the main room. It was no different from an ordinary people's main room. The thin wooden bundles served as gables, and the utility room and the bedroom were separated from the east and west. There was an incense table on the north wall, with hunting game and mountain products, and the incense burner was dimly lit. , from time to time incense ash falls.
After a while, Ah Ying had already walked in with a stone mortar. He put the herbs into the stone mortar and crushed them. He added other medicinal powders and spread them evenly on the back of Yue Guanchao's hands.
"Aweng, help me get the cloth strips from the utility room."
Wu Tuman stared at his pipe, reluctantly got up from the imperial chair, and pushed open the door of the utility room. He picked up the linen and forgot to close the door. In the blink of an eye, Yue Guanchao immediately noticed the animal scales hanging on the beams. cloak.
When he caught a glimpse of this thing, his heart skipped a beat!
If it was just an ordinary cloak, he wouldn't be surprised, but this cloak is indeed a complete beard and tail suit, including a face-covering cloak, an animal scale cloak, a copper plate armor, fur boots, and an animal skin belt. The workmanship is excellent and the materials are thick. At first glance, it is not something for ordinary people. Even if it is covered with cobwebs and dust, you can still feel its former majesty.
However, Utuman probably hasn’t worn this outfit for several years.
There was no way that an old man from the countryside would have such valuable armor. Who he was was still a mystery. Yue Guanchao felt strange in his heart. He looked at the old man with a look of suspicion.
The old man seemed to have noticed his curious gaze, his face froze, and he closed the door with a bang.
In the eyes of Yue Guanchao, this move was tantamount to having something evil in his heart. He thought to himself that the old man Wu Tuman had quite a lot of secrets in his heart.
"alright!"
Yue Guanchao knew that the old man Wu Tuman had a stubborn temper, so he was not in a hurry to provoke him. After Ah Ying helped him bandage his hand, he exchanged a few words with his grandfather and grandson before setting off back to Yehe Town.
On the way, Yue Guanchao looked at Aying. This little girl looked fresh and simple, like a forest elf, exuding the wild spirit of the mountains and forests.
He glanced at Song Siyuan, and she immediately knew what he meant. She took Ah Ying's hand and asked, "Miss Ah Ying, why is it that only your grandfather lives with you, where are your parents?"
Speaking of this topic, Ah Ying was obviously not happy. She looked frustrated and sighed: "My father and mother, they... they disappeared. I had a serious illness when I was a child. My father and mother went to the forest to find medicinal herbs. , and never came back after that. Aweng and my parents have known each other for a long time, and he adopted me as his granddaughter because he saw how pitiful I was."
"Missing? Haven't you looked for them?"
Yue Guanchao was quite curious, Aying lowered her head and rubbed the corner of her clothes: "I looked for it, but couldn't find it. The living must continue to live."
Seeing that Aying didn't want to say more, he didn't ask her any more about the past. He wanted to find out Wu Tuman's thoughts, so he could only put it aside.
The three of them returned to Yeheyi. Lao Lu seemed to expect that he would be injured. When he entered, he was pounding medicinal materials with a medicine pestle. Seeing that Yue Guanchao's hands had been bandaged with linen, he smiled casually with a pockmarked face and said, "I should have known." You’re fine, so I won’t waste my time.”
Yue Guanchao pulled over a wooden pier and sat next to Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, how did you know we would be injured? You deliberately let us find that map, right?"
Yue Guanchao just thought about how they could have gotten the map of Yehe Town by chance. Now that he thought about it, it was definitely Lao Lu's attempt to get at it.
Old Lu waved his hand and threw the medicine pestle aside: "You are wronging me. There are so many people living in this inn. How do I know what they left behind? I can't give other people's things." If you throw it away, it will be thrown into the cabinet, and maybe someone will come back to pick it up!"
