Chapter 764 He has a nest in the mountains
"Er Gou, the nobles have something important to discuss with Old Man Bai, so don't talk nonsense."
Old Man Sun was worried that his grandson was trying to please the noble, and was also afraid that he would mislead Jiang Wan and the others.
“I don’t know if he will go.”
Sun Ergou grinned, "My friends and I... ahem... used to have nothing to do, so we often wandered around the village.
One time… ahem… it was almost dark, and we saw… an old white man sneaking towards the mountain, so we got curious and followed him…”
"You're going to die!"
Old man Sun was so angry that he slapped Sun Ergou on the head, but he was afraid of hurting his grandson, so he used less force.
After all, I didn’t know what the old white man did before, and now that I know, I’m scared.
“I didn’t know that.”
Sun Ergou's eyes were full of guilt, and Jiang Wan was a little anxious, "Ergou, you mean he has another nest in the mountains."
"yes."
Sun Ergou pointed into the mountain and said, "We followed him for a short distance... ahem... and then he found us. He was so fierce."
He lowered his voice mysteriously and said, “Then I was curious and followed him secretly.
Ahem…, he found a house in the mountains, and he often went there. "
"Without further ado, Ergou, are you willing to show us the way?"
Jiang Wan took out a purse from her sleeve, which was filled with heavy silver, and handed it to Old Man Sun.
Old Man Sun quickly refused, "Sir, since you saved my dog, we are willing to show you the way, so you don't have to pay us the money."
Otherwise he would feel guilty about taking it.
Sun Ergou was young, but very obedient. "My lord, no need for money, I will lead the way for you right now."
He was weak and couldn't walk. Old Man Sun was about to carry him on his back when Cheng Jin rushed over.
"Let me carry him."
He thought that it was impossible to let an old man like Sun carry someone on his back on such a high mountain road.
"No, this is not allowed."
Old man Sun was so frightened that he dared not ask someone to carry Ergou on his back as it would shorten his life.
Sun Ergou also stepped back, "Thank you very much, sir. I... ahem... I can walk by myself."
"Song Er, you go and carry it."
Song Jiuyuan knew that even with Cheng Jin's small body, he wouldn't be able to carry him for long. Song Yi took people to chase the old man Bai, but Song Er was still there.
"Yes, Master."
Song Er came to Sun Ergou without giving him any chance to be rejected and carried him on his back.
Even though Sun Ergou was frightened, he could still accept it better than Cheng Jin carrying him on his back.
"Go that way."
Sun Ergou pointed the way, Old Man Sun followed Song Er, and Jiang Wan said to Fuling and Muxiang:
"We don't know how long it will take to climb, why don't you stay and wait for us."
"Okay."
Fuling knew her own limitations and knew that her speed was indeed not as fast as that of her junior master and the prince.
"Then I will protect Fuling."
Cheng Jin is now sticking to Fuling. Jiang Wan naturally has no objection, but Mu Xiang patted her chest and said:
"Master, I've been climbing trees in the mountains since I was a child in the village. I'm very familiar with it. Please take me with you!"
"Okay then, let's go."
Jiang Wan did not reject Muxiang and also wanted to teach her. Leaving Fuling and Cheng Jin to watch the carriage, they walked towards the mountains behind Shitou Village.
From a distance, the villagers saw them and couldn't help talking about them.
"Why did Sun Laogen bring them up the mountain?"
"Could there be some treasure in the mountains? No, I have to go back and talk to the head of the family."
"If there really is any treasure, it belongs to our Stone Village. We can't let outsiders take it away for nothing."
“…”
Jiang Wan didn’t know what the villagers were thinking. If she knew, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
At this moment they had already climbed up the mountain. The weather was cold, and Song Jiuyuan held Jiang Wan's hand.
"Wanwan, slow down."
The ground was slippery and he was worried that Jiang Wan would fall.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Wan raised her eyes and looked into the mountain. Song Er was walking steadily in front, carrying Sun Ergou on his back.
The road at the foot of the mountain is easy to walk on. I guess people from Shitou Village often go up the mountain to collect firewood. As more people walk there, a road is formed.
They saw a lot of herbs along the way, but Jiang Wan was not in the mood to pick them. After all, she was still worried about Song Jiuyuan's health.
After climbing for about half an hour, Sun Ergou said to Jiang Wan and the others, "My dear, it's just ahead."
"My dear, I will wait here with Ergou."
Old man Sun knew that his grandson was not in good health and taking him with him would hinder his progress.
He didn't know what tricks the old man would use, and he was a little worried.
"good."
Since they had already found a place, Jiang Wan naturally would not force them, and even arranged for Song Er to protect them there.
Sun Laogen quickly refused, "No need, sir, we are worthless. Even if we meet Old Man Bai, he won't look down on us."
"I'm worried about wild animals."
Jiang Wan sighed helplessly, thinking that if they walked any further they would probably end up deep in the mountains.
There might be big monsters in the deep mountains these days, and Jiang Wan didn't want to let the grandfather and grandson die just for helping her.
After hearing what she said, Sun Laogen did not refuse.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan walked in front, and they walked lightly for fear of disturbing Old Man Bai with the noise.
Muxiang followed them closely, and soon they saw a wooden house.
The area around the wooden house was covered with strange talismans and many thorns were planted outside.
"Wanwan, wait for me outside. I'll go in."
Song Jiuyuan was a little worried about Jiang Wan when he saw this, but Jiang Wan held his hand and said firmly:
"No, let's go together."
At worst, she still has space. She can hide in the space in an emergency.
"Wanwan, be obedient." Song Jiuyuan raised his hand and rubbed the top of Jiang Wan's head. Before either of them noticed, Muxiang had already jumped in front of the wooden house.
She peeled off the strange talisman papers and looked at Jiang Wan blankly.
"Master, there seems to be no one inside."
"Muxiang, you are being reckless!"
Jiang Wan was shocked. She didn't know much about this kind of people, so she had to be careful.
"Elf, hurry...see if there's anyone inside."
Jiang Wan quickly talked to the elf, not wanting to let the old man go.
The system quickly gave feedback, "Master, there is no one inside."
"How come?"
Jiang Wan was stunned. Not caring about anything else, she pulled Song Jiuyuan and walked quickly towards the yard.
They walked over the thorns and without thinking too much, they quickly pushed open the door of the thatched hut.
The three men split up into three groups to check the situation in the cabin. Just like the house at the foot of the mountain, there were a lot of messy things.
"The kang is still warm. The person hasn't been gone for long."
Song Jiuyuan touched the kang, a hint of coldness flashed across his dark eyes. This man was like a slippery loach, running really fast.
"Master, there are some valuables he left behind."
Muxiang stared in amazement at the wooden cabinet in front of her, where some silver and copper coins were piled up in a mess.
It can be seen that the old man ran in a hurry and did not take all the property.
“Pack it up and give it to the villagers down the mountain.”
Jiang Wan frowned. This old man had done so many unscrupulous things, he must have made a lot of ill-gotten gains.
These things are heavy, so I guess he took away gold and silver notes.
