Chapter 433
Next, the group of people did not stay any longer, and hurried on the road, until night fell, and they realized that they had missed the town.

Surrounded by barren mountains and wild ridges, there are many mountains and rivers and ravines, driving in the dark, it is easy to get lost, especially for those who are not familiar with the Chicheng route.

"There are fire lights there, there should be people living there." Bai Dingshan said, pointing in a certain direction ahead.

Zhou Tianxin deliberately sang the opposite tune, "Maybe it's a will-o'-the-wisp, but it can be considered a family."

During this trip, both Bai Dingshan and Zhou Tianxin followed. After the jade pendant incident, the relationship between the two seems to have deteriorated. If the two were at odds before, and liked to bicker and ridicule each other, then it has probably escalated to malicious intent. The level of attack, of course, this kind of malice is mainly manifested in Miss Zhou.

For example, Bai Dingshan is afraid of ghosts, so Miss Zhou deliberately used it to scare him.

Bai Dingshan turned pale in disappointment, shrank his head, and gave her a sad look.

Miss Zhou hugged her chest and snorted disdainfully, "Be more courageous, you're still a man."

Bai Dingshan was even more depressed, but he couldn't refute.

Rong Zheng got out of the carriage, looked at the fire and said, "Go and see if you can stay overnight. It's okay to sleep in the wild, but I haven't eaten for most of the day, so I need something warm."

Hearing that he was going to stay overnight, Bai Dingshan's face turned pale again, "There is still dry food in the car, can't we build a fire and boil some hot water?"

Eldest Miss Zhou said first, "Of course not. Madam is pregnant with a child. If you don't feel bad, how can the boss not feel bad?"

Bai Dingshan fell silent.

Xunyang on the carriage in front lifted the curtain and said, "There must be someone here if there is smoke from the kitchen. It's better to spend the night in the past than to sleep in the wild."

So, the carriage got off the official road and walked along the path towards the fire.

"My God, what kind of road is this? The weeds are knee-deep and uneven. This looks like a place where people live? Don't be..." Bai Dingshan said.

"I'm afraid it's not a place where people live, so you can stay here." Zhou Tianxin said.

"I don't want it." Bai Dingshan looked at the deep night behind him, and swallowed horribly.

"It's not far away, but after walking for so long, there's still a little bit of fire." Guo Kuang said, "Also, this road goes up the mountain, but the fire is below, but there is no way to go down? "

Zhou Tianxin clicked his tongue, "This household is very secretive."

Baochun said, "The carriage can't pass, it seems that we have to abandon the carriage, but it will be inconvenient for you, my lord..."

Guo Kuang said, "I can carry my son on my back, and there is a shrunken bamboo wheelchair in the car, which is not a problem."

Xunyang nodded.

Therefore, several people abandoned the carriage and walked to find the way. The place is deserted, so they are not afraid of getting lost.

Guo Kuang carried his son on his back, Rong Zheng carried his son in his arms, and the rest of them took their salute clothes and went looking for the fire.

All of them possess superb martial arts, and even with people on their backs, they can walk on the mountain as if walking on flat ground. Therefore, even though there is no way to go, it will not be difficult for them.

It wasn't until they got closer that they saw the flames. As expected, there were only five or six families in total.

Coming to the nearest house, Rong Zheng asked Bai Dingshan to knock on the door.

Bai Dingshan, who had a shadow in his heart, stepped forward cautiously, stretched out his hand, and did not land on the door for a long time.

Miss Zhou went up and kicked him away, "Are you afraid of knocking out ghosts? Unless you have ghosts in your heart."

Being bullied like this, Baochun felt a little sympathetic to Bai Dingshan, and at the same time couldn't help feeling that no matter how aggressive a woman is, she is very small-minded, very vengeful, and very stubborn when it comes to matters between men and women.

Following the knock on the door, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the yard, and then the door was opened with a bang.

"Who is it?" A dark middle-aged man walked out of the door, "You are..."

Xunyang, who was placed on the bamboo wheelchair, cupped his hands, "Brother, we are on a hurry and missed the place to stay, so we came here and want to stay overnight, is it convenient or not?"

The middle-aged man looked at the group of people outside the door for a while, and probably thought that they were not bad people, so he warmly greeted them and entered the courtyard, "It's convenient, very convenient, as long as the distinguished guests don't dislike the shabby home."

Several people were led into the house. The house was as rough and plain as the gate, without any beauty at all. It was only used as a shelter from the wind and rain.

There are farm tools, hunting gear, and some dry goods hanging on the wall inside the house. Although the space is tight, it is very clean.

"My surname is Jin. How did you find all the distinguished guests? We rarely come here, and you are rare visitors."

"We found it by following the firelight." Xunyang said.

"Then it's not easy for you." The man said.

"No, I have traveled a long distance and searched for it for a long time." Bai Dingshan said, "The carriages are all left outside."

The man smiled, "Don't talk about the carriage, it's not easy for people to find it. We are located in the deep mountains and wild forests. There is no fog tonight and the weather is good. That's why you can see the fire, which is usually invisible. Everyone thought it was a barren mountain and wild forest, with no human habitation, so it was difficult to find that there were no outsiders here, by the way, I was so happy that I forgot to serve tea.”

He walked to the door and yelled out, "The mother-in-law is here. Hurry up and prepare tea and food. They must be thirsty and hungry after driving a long way."

Someone outside responded, and then, a woman with a headscarf and coarse clothes and a face full of vicissitudes appeared at the door. After seeing the people in the room clearly, she held onto the door frame and was stunned for a while.

The man surnamed Jin said with a smile, "Don't be offended, my wife has never seen such a beautiful and noble person as you, let alone, she has never seen it, even I have never seen it since I was a child. Just now, I opened the door to see When it comes to you, I thought it was a god who came down to earth, there are no ordinary people who grow up like this, only gods have this demeanor."

"Yes, yes, that's it." The woman at the door came back to her senses, and quickly agreed with her husband, her eyes were fascinated, revered, and there was a trace of fear.

Miss Zhou smiled, "Have you ever seen a fairy?"

"No." The husband and wife shook their heads, and the man surnamed Jin scratched his head and said, "The gods are where poor and lowly mortals like me can see, but I think the gods must be the appearance of heaven and man like you."

Several people laughed.

Miss Zhou said, "We are not gods, these are my master and wife, this is my little master, and this is my husband..." Introducing them one by one.

After a while, a little girl with shofar braids came in carrying a tray with tea on it, "Dad, mother, the tea is ready."

"Okay, let's serve it to the guests." The man surnamed Jin ordered, "This is my daughter. She will be ten years old after this year. How old is the young master?"
