Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 185 The Secret Cottage

The mountain temple is behind Qingshen Mountain.

Before worshiping the mountain god, we still need to turn around the mountain, so everyone in the inn got up early.

Not only that, but there is also a set of rules for turning around the mountain. It is not allowed to ride a horse to carry a sedan chair, but must walk up the mountain.

Naturally, Fan Chen's two horses stayed in the inn. Since everyone was leaving, everyone went to the stable early in the morning to feed the horses rations.

Everyone here dare not try it lightly, so they went to the kitchen to borrow a fire, warmed up the big meat buns they brought, and divided them to fill their stomachs.

Fang Yao took two buns and sat in a relatively remote corner with Huang Zhixian, Fan Chen and others.

The former pulled up the mask, put it on top of his head, exposed his face, and gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun.

Now her physique is getting better and better, it doesn't matter if she doesn't have much rest all night, she doesn't feel very tired, but she is hungry very fast.

After finally getting to this point, she wished she could gnaw off her fingers.

"Tsk, your current identity is Mrs. Magistrate."

Fan Chen looked at her devouring, with disgust on his face, and then put the untouched steamed stuffed bun in his bowl in front of her, and couldn't help scolding, "Eat slowly, is three enough? ?"

"Enough is enough."

Fang Yao waved her hand, this bun can be as big as a pottery bowl, and after eating and drinking a few sips of water, it will swell in the stomach.

"Huangzhi County, why does your wife eat what people give you? We are rough people and don't understand it. Isn't this impolite?"

A rough voice deliberately teasing came from behind.

Fang Yao didn't turn her head, she knew it was the second in charge.

Without waiting for Huang Zhixian to speak, Fang Yao rolled her eyes and said deliberately: "The second head is indeed a rough person. If you don't eat what the servants give you, do you still eat what the superiors give you? You descendants of mountain gods are all of high status. Is it a low-ranking servant?"

While talking, she turned her back on the second leader, and winked triumphantly at Fan Chen, who sat in his seat expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Er Dangjia choked.

He originally wanted to make fun of Fang Yao and the others, but he didn't want to be squeezed instead.

Although Fang Yao hated Fang Yao in his heart, but thinking that the critical moment was about to come, he still smiled generously: "Yes, yes, the magistrate's wife from Kyoto has insight."

He said and turned to leave.

Not long after eating, everyone officially set off.

The descendants of the mountain gods in the inn lead the way. The head of the family is at the front, and the second head of the family leads some people behind. The euphemistic name is to prevent people from falling behind and getting lost in the mountains.

The turning around of Qingshen Mountain is to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, kowtow and burn incense every [-] meters.

The mountain road is still easy to walk, probably because I don’t want my own people to be poisoned. There are no poison pits on the road, the snow has been cleared, and a thin layer of straw is laid to prevent slipping.

It's just that in this cold day, the sun is not so big, and it's even colder in the mountains.

The trees on both sides of the road are hardy pine trees, and they are very lush. The dense canopy and snow on the branches almost block out the light.

It was dark along the way, and from time to time there were a few strange birdsong in the depths of the forest.

Fang Yao looked around all the way, and she remembered that the cottage in the painting was a little bit up the mountainside, and she estimated that it would take another quarter of an hour to arrive.

She took off the mask, hung it around her waist, covered it with a woolen robe, and then shouted: "Officer, I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore."

Huang Zhixian walked over through the crowd and said in a low voice, "Be careful on the road ahead, it's very narrow and steep."

"Ah."

Fang Yao nodded, and when she spoke, she noticed that Sanniang in front of her was turning her head to look here.

Huang Zhixian's face was a bit tangled, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you tired? How about... let's take a break and go up later?"

"it is good."

As Fang Yao said, she waved to Fan Chen and Yang Gao who were beside her, signaling them to go first, and then she and Huang Zhixian went to sit and rest on the stone by the road first.

With her legs crossed, she leaned against the pine tree behind the stone and closed her eyes to doze off.

Feeling the mountain wind blowing by, she smelled an extremely faint smell of corruption.

The footsteps on the road gradually faded away and disappeared little by little.

But the world was not quiet for long, and soon there were some vulgar jokes from behind the mountain road.

It's the second master and his subordinates.

"Let's go."

Huang Zhixian spoke.

Fang Yao nodded and continued on the road, she was in front and Huang Zhixian was behind.

Suddenly, a big hand suddenly covered her mouth and nose.

Fang Yao struggled a few times, her arms slowly dropped.

The people behind caught up, and the second master smiled and said: "Thanks for your hard work, magistrate."

Huang Zhixian shook his head: "Fortunately, it's just that this group of people are really suspicious. They used many methods to test me."

"The magistrate Huang is the most powerful. As long as this woman is in our hands, her powerful subordinates will not dare to act rashly."

"However, I'm afraid that if I provoke them, there will be a big disturbance at the Mountain God Association..."

"Don't worry, the mountain gods are powerful. No matter how powerful these mortals are, can they be stronger than the gods?"

The second master suddenly thought of something while talking, and asked again, "By the way, you fake lady said that you are a descendant of a god..."

Huang Zhixian smiled: "Don't worry, the second leader, I asked yesterday, she is not a descendant of the gods at all, she deliberately scares you."

"what……"

The second master smiled strangely, and said triumphantly to his subordinates, "What did I say, you send this woman up quickly."

Several subordinates looked at each other and nodded.

Fang Yao was put into a sack, and she felt herself face down and being carried on her back.

With her naturally drooping arms, she calmly opened a few slightly larger holes in the sack that was already full of gaps.

In the blurry and shaky sight, the mountain road under my feet has become rugged and narrow, sticking to the steep mountain wall, only three feet wide, and on the other side are steep slopes and cliffs.

She was worried, fearing that the person who was carrying her would lose his footing and roll down the mountain with her.

After walking for a short time, the pedestrian stopped.

Someone behind her put her hand in her mouth and blew three times vigorously. She swiveled her eyes and tried to adjust her perspective. Finally, she found that there was a rope ladder hanging down from a bush of dry vines on the mountain wall.

Fang Yao secretly marveled.

No wonder the government couldn't take down this bandit village. It turns out that the gates of the village are so secretively hidden!
Even if you know how to get in, the gate of this village is hidden on the mountain wall, and below you are narrow trails and cliffs that are difficult to stand on.

It's like a natural city wall with iron walls, and there is a moat cliff outside.

Not to mention that there are internal thieves echoing, if this can be defeated, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky.

The person carrying the sack climbed up the rope ladder, and Fang Yao felt her body swinging back and forth with the rope ladder.

After eating three big meat buns in the morning, her bulging stomach was right on the man's hard shoulders, and she could bear it while walking, but now she felt as if a stone mill was crushing her stomach back and forth.

If you spit it out now, you will definitely be thrown directly to the bottom of the cliff!
Fang Yao took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, her eyes almost turned so hard that she couldn't see the black beads.

She already vaguely smelled the smell of spoiled buns in her throat...

At the moment when Fang Yao thought she was going to spit it out, her hands were clenched into fists, ready to strike first.

Suddenly, the torture ended.

She endured the nausea, forced the urge to vomit, and swallowed it back.

She tried to keep her head balanced and looked out through the hole in the sack.

It really is a cave, not long, only two feet long and wide, it looks more like a thick stone arch.

There was someone guarding the entrance of the cave, and the man asked, "What good things are you carrying?"

"Let's go, you kid is watching your hole, so what do you do."

After a few people laughed and scolded, they continued to move forward.

Fang Yao immediately gritted her teeth, thinking that she was about to climb the rope ladder again, but found that behind the cave, there was a wide stone step that was slowly descending.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Through the small holes in the upper, middle and lower directions, she saw the scene on the other side of the cave.

It really is a paradise!
In a wooded mountain alcove.

The wooden buildings are staggered and stacked on top of each other, and chickens and dogs hear each other.

A stream and river pass through the village, and beside a small pond, there is an old waterwheel squeaking and turning.

It is clear that the sky is full of ice and snow outside, although there are occasional snowflakes falling inside, but there is no mountain wind raging, and there is no gloomy air.

Most of the people in the village had gone out, so it was a bit empty inside.

The few people who carried her went up along the stream in the village, and came to the tallest wooden building in the village.

"His grandma, this little girl is so courageous, she dares to say all kinds of nonsense! She even dares to call herself a descendant of the gods."

"Otherwise, in this world, how can the bold be overwhelmed and the cowardly be starved to death!"

Several people said, throwing the sack on the ground.

Fang Yao endured the pain and didn't make a sound.

Through the small hole in front of her, she saw that after the curtain leading to the inner room from the wooden house was opened, there was a stone door behind it.

"Bring the golden key."

"Be careful, this is the treasure of the master."

As the stone door was pushed open, she squinted and saw that the forging furnace inside was facing her, and there were various grinding tools and unfinished statues of mountain gods beside her.

"Take it out, be careful, it's poisonous."

"I know, I covered my face with a face towel, so don't smell it, be careful."

Several people worked together to carefully lift out a wooden box and put it next to the sack. Fang Yao immediately smelled a faint smell of corruption.

Soon, the sack was opened, and she heard the sound of someone gasping for air.

"Damn it, I didn't notice it at first, this woman is prettier than our wife!"

Fang Yao's fingers hidden under her body moved.

Several other people also came over, and one of them said wretchedly: "Hey, Huang Zhi County is so beautiful, unexpectedly, such a beautiful fake lady appeared to accompany him for a few nights..."

"Tsk tsk, after tonight, it's such a pity that such a fairy-like lady will be bled."

The men were silent for a few seconds, and exchanged glances with each other in unison.

Suddenly, a wolf howled from outside the house.

Several people in the room were stunned, and they all looked a little shocked.

"There are... wolves in our village?"

"There are quite a few small caves behind the stockade, so they didn't crawl in from there, did they?"

"There is a poison released by the master in that cave. If there is an injury on the body, it will..."

Before the man finished speaking, a man's screams sounded outside.

The few people couldn't care about anything else, jumped up from the ground, picked up the weapons placed by the wall, opened the door and rushed out!
Fang Yaoxu squinted her eyes and opened a barely visible gap, her long and dense eyelashes blocked her clear gaze.

In the next second, the sound of chaotic footsteps came and went.

She jerked a carp upright, jumped up from the ground, rushed to the door and slammed the door shut from the inside, and then used the wooden peg behind the door to kill her.

"Damn it, the door was locked from the inside!"

A frightened male voice sounded outside, and then, someone began to slam on the door heavily.

Fang Yao took off the slightly hot mask from her waist and put it on, swept around, picked up the fire tongs hook for pulling coals from the corner, and held it in her hand.

Then, before the door was kicked open, he quickly took out the booklet and turned to the latest side.

A gray wolf appears on the screen.

After carefully looking at the features of the wolf and imprinting the picture deeply in her mind, she hurriedly put away the booklet and walked to the box.

There was no lock.

Fang Yao stood behind the box, hooked the edge of the lid with a hook, and picked it out quickly!
