Half fairy

Chapter 379: No Moon Tonight
When Wu Heyun gathered all the scattered personnel, without any nostalgia, a group of people rushed to the village, climbed on the prepared mounts, and galloped away in a hurry.

It was rare to see such a scene, and the villagers working in the fields straightened up and looked around.

They didn't know what the monks in the village were going to do, but after seeing them off, they continued to immerse themselves in their own work.

Similarly, other than the three owners, the other monks didn't know where they were going or what they were going to do, and no one told them.

The people hiding in the caves on the mountain were quietly watching this scene, seeing those people leave with their own eyes, and they were all confused by the behavior of Rift Valley Villa.

gone?Is it real or fake?Still trying to lure them out?
The weirder the opponent's behavior, the more vigilant Yu Qing, Ning Chaoyi and others who have become a group now.

He was on high alert, suspecting that the Rift Valley Villa was playing some kind of fake action, suspecting that they wanted to paralyze them and then play a sneak attack.

It is obvious that this is the old lair of Rift Valley Villa. With just a few of them, how could a large group of people from Rift Valley Villa abandon their nest? You can't leave the lives of your clansmen alone.

A group of outsiders were worried about an ambush outside, so they dared not go out easily.

At the same time, I was also worried that people from the Rift Valley Villa would get in through the secret passage. This is very possible. The Rift Valley Villa has been established here for many years, and so many caves have been dug. It is normal to dig a secret passage.

In order to prevent this, Yu Qing deliberately chose the best location, which was also a downwind, and asked Mu Aotie to go to the ruined temple to get some bundles of incense.He lit the incense and stuck it in the downwind vent, and then stood there to observe. Once someone approached, he would be able to detect it in time.

Ning Chaoyi and the others naturally came to see him, seeing him sitting cross-legged and offering incense sticks in front of him, they didn’t know what the hell he was doing, so they didn’t ask any more questions, as if they were kind to Yu Qing and the others. Relieved.

A group of people watched and waited quietly in the cave, from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to evening, until the working villagers returned home, until the smoke rose from every house, and then waited until it was dark.

There is no moon tonight, only the sky is full of stars, the mountain cave is completely dark, there is no light, and the nine people who joined together are silent in the darkness.

On the other hand, in the village, the lights of every household make this desolate area float with warmth and vitality.

At night in the Gobi area, the temperature dropped sharply. Ning Chaoyi, who was leaning against the entrance of a cave, turned his head and saw Nanzhu and Mu Aotie walking away. Before, play in hand.

After a while, a spot of light also appeared in the opposite grape field, which flickered for a while and then disappeared...

At the entrance of the village, the flag on the flagpole fluttered in the night, and on the steps below, a dirty old man sat there, smoking dry smoke in the dark.

The dirty old man tilted his head slightly, saw the light from a hole in the mountain, and then slowly turned his head to look at the grape field, the dry smoke in his mouth continued to click, and the smoke drifted away under the stars, the smoke The shredded tobacco in the pot flickered red in the darkness from time to time, reflected in his cloudy eyes...

Nanzhu and Mu Aotie, who went to Yu Qing's place to mutter for a while, came back again. They felt that waiting like this was not an option, so they went to discuss with Yu Qing. What Yu Qing meant was that even if they wanted to do something, they would In the daytime, I don't know if I was ambushed at night.

The two of them thought about it, so they had no choice but to come back. The two of them were in charge of being vigilant on Ning Chaoyi's side like everyone else, so as not to be suspected of being lazy on their side.

Seeing that they came back, Ning Chaoyi also turned around and walked up to the thieves Yuanyang and his wife, "Do you two dare to go with me in the dark to check?"

The couple stood up one after another, Nie Pinlan said: "Go, go, there is nothing you dare not."

The mother and daughter of Lu Xingyun, who were staring outside the window next door, looked this way.

Nan Zhu immediately said, "Would it be a little dangerous to go out and investigate at this time?"

Ning Chaoyi: "Waiting like this is not an option. The danger is also our danger. It will be good for you to find out the situation. What are you afraid of? You keep watching, and we will go around." Not letting others decide, Turn around and leave.

When the thieves Yuanyang and his wife followed, Zhu Kuanzhen and Mu Aotie passed by, and they turned their heads to look at each other at the same time. The light was not good, so they could only vaguely see each other's expressions.

Nanzhu noticed it, and felt a little funny. He found that these two were quiet people, especially Zhu Kuanzhen, who seemed to have never heard him say a word so far.

The three of them didn't jump directly from the opening, which would easily expose everyone's hiding place, and they all left through the passage inside.

After they left, Nan Zhu touched Mu Aotie with his elbow.

There is no need to explain anything, the two have been brothers for many years, they know it with a look and a movement, Mu Aotie turned around and left immediately.

He went directly to the other side to find Yu Qing, half squatted beside Yu Qing who was meditating cross-legged, glanced at Qiao Qier who was accompanying him, and whispered about the departure of Ning Chaoyi and the other three.

"Run out at night to investigate in the dark? People with high skills can't be bold..." Yu Qing muttered to himself for a while, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Be careful yourself, and tell me immediately when the person comes back."

Mu Ao grunted, then quickly got up and left...

Three figures jumped out from the mountain, and slipped into the opposite grape field like smoke, then bowed and walked quietly among the grape plants.

The three of them are Ning Chaoyi and the thief Yuanyang couple.

After traveling for a while, the three of them found the spot where the light was shining before, found a pothole and jumped down.

After a while, the tunnel stopped one after another, with the starry sky above, and a hazy figure standing in the darkness in front of him. He couldn't even see the outline clearly, and naturally he couldn't see his face clearly.

"There isn't even a single lamp in the mountain cave, what's going on?"

A man's steady voice came from the darkness.

"Rift Valley Villa has removed all the guards against us since yesterday..."

Seeing Ning Chaoyi folded his arms and said nothing, Nie Pinlan had no choice but to tell the story of the incident.

After explaining the matter, Ning Chaoyi said calmly: "Now we don't know what kind of tricks Rift Valley Villa is playing, and we are worried that they are setting up an ambush in the dark. The situation has developed to this point. We can't do it alone, and we can't even figure out the truth. Qing, you should find a way to help."

The man in the darkness said: "If that's the case, don't worry about setting up an ambush. The people in the Rift Valley Villa are currently resting three hundred miles away, and their every move is under my surveillance. They won't be able to return in a short time. If they return, I will give you a signal in advance. I have secretly deployed people to watch over the surrounding area, and all the ambushing people in the Rift Valley Villa have withdrawn. So far, there is no ambush in the surrounding area. You can rest assured that I will help you keep an eye on it."

Ning Chaoyi and Nie Pinlan looked at each other subconsciously, and they both muttered the same thought in their hearts, the other party can keep track of the movements hundreds of miles away at any time!

After calming down a bit, Ning Chaoyi said again: "This matter is very abnormal, just us, how could so many people in the Rift Valley Villa be scared away?"

The man in the dark said: "This should be the question I asked you, I need you to find the answer and tell me!"

Ning Chaoyi: "What's the secret hidden in that halberd? If it's really just for getting rich, why doesn't Rift Valley Villa just sit back and enjoy the benefits? If even the owner of the Rift Valley Villa can't unlock the secret, what's the use of us finding it? ?”

What he said to Yu Qing in order to get rich was purely some rhetoric taught him to deal with it, and he didn't know the real situation at all.

Various signs now show that things are not that simple at all. From the words and deeds of Lin Erqing and others, to the reaction of the Rift Valley Villa, to the actions of the person in front of him, it seems that everyone who knows the secret is trying to hide that The truth of the secret seems to be that if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle.

What kind of secret is it that can make everyone around you keep secret and behave strangely?

The man in the dark said: "This is what I want to know too, find the secret, unravel the secret, and tell me the answer!"

Ning Chaoyi sneered, and sure enough, he asked about loneliness again...

It was almost dawn, and the elderly always woke up earlier, and the dirty old man who got up early came to sit under the flagpole again, sitting and smoking, and at the same time directing several villagers to work.

A pile of firewood was lit at the entrance of the village, and a large iron pot was set up on it, and several villagers joined hands to cook and eat...

The three people who went out searched for a long time, and did not return quietly until it was almost dawn.

After hearing the news, Yu Qing immediately showed up, and when he saw the three of them, he asked, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Ning Chaoyi: "Can it be soon? We searched all over the surrounding area, and found no ambush, and the group of people from the Rift Valley Villa went somewhere."

Yu Qing: "Such a large area, if they really want to hide, just a few of you search, I'm afraid they may not be able to find them."

Ning Chaoyi smiled and said, "Then tell me, if they are still nearby, what is the point of hiding like that? Are they afraid of us, or are they afraid that we will find them?"

This question came to the point, making Yu Qing frown deeply.

The two sides haven't fought each other seriously yet, and they haven't even tried it. It's not certain who will win. What's more, the opponent has a large number of people, and this is on their territory, so they have no reason to avoid them. Did... really run away?
If he really ran away, it would not be difficult for anyone who knew the secret to understand, because as long as the secret was leaked out, Rift Valley Villa would basically have no chance of winning. Escaping, and then trying to hide in places where no one can find it, is also regarded as A reasonable response from Rift Valley Heights.

This can also explain why the Rift Valley Villa abandoned so many villagers and ran away, because it is unrealistic to bring too many people, and the more people, the harder it is to run away, let alone a group of ordinary people, there is no way to run away with such a big burden.

The reason is very simple, just like when he found the man in black, the man in black didn't cooperate at all at first, and there was no need to talk about it. When he revealed the secret and told the other party that the secret had been leaked, the man in black's attitude immediately changed. Just softened and had to face reality.
