Chapter 309 Something Happened
When the sky brightened, Chunyi packed his luggage and set off again.
Rumor has it that the war-disaster Zhu Yan resembles an ape, with a white head and bare feet, and that his presence is a harbinger of war. The operation to kill Chang You this time was not very smooth, and killing Zhu Yan must also be fraught with difficulty.
Heading southwest, seven days later, the two arrived at Stone Mountain.
There are towering mountains and lush vegetation here. Zhu Yan's range of activities is within a radius of a hundred miles. With the lessons learned from the last time, Chunyi is ready to spend the summer in the mountains.
This time, Gu Nan did not wait in the mountains, but in the village at the foot of the mountain.
The day before leaving, Chunyi worked all night to build a house for Gu Nan.
He had done this job before, and this time he was very good at it, without Gu Nan's help. He built a wooden house by himself in one night, and added a bed and a few pieces of furniture to make it a proper home.
The next morning, Junyi changed his sweaty clothes and went up the mountain. Gu Nan carried him to the river to wash them.
She was like an ordinary farm bride, blending in with a group of women and girls who were washing clothes for the whole family, listening to them chatting about trivial matters and going about their busy lives.
At first, the villagers hardly interacted with her. Later, the neighbors found that she was the only one who went out every day, and they couldn't help but take care of her, and gradually they became familiar with her.
Without the Ghost King Pill, Gu Nan's soul would become unstable if he used a little more ghost power. Unless necessary, he spent most of his time practicing in the house.
She also didn't want to have too much contact with the villagers in her current state, so two months passed and the gossip about her in the village was limited to two sentences:
——The house at the end of the village keeps its door closed all day long and I don’t know what it’s doing.
——Has the man from the end of the village come back? He didn’t die in the mountains, did he?
The man was naturally referring to Chunyi. Gu Nan said he went hunting in the mountains, and the villagers didn't doubt him, but only guessed eight times a day whether he was dead or not.
After all, he was a tough guy who could build a house in one night. Many people were impressed by his craftsmanship and hoped that he would come down the mountain.
Another half month passed, and there was a rare period of heavy rain. The villagers gathered in groups of two or three to make hemp ropes.
The neighboring family of seven was also twisting hemp rope. Gu Nan sat down, and the eight of them surrounded the small table tightly.
"We can go into the mountains to pick mushrooms when the rain gets lighter. It's a good rain, so there will definitely be a lot of mushrooms this year," said the hostess.
"Everyone knows that there are a lot of mushrooms this year, but we can't pick any. When I got up this morning, I saw someone going into the mountains," said the man.
"Why are you going into the mountains when the rain hasn't stopped yet? You're really not afraid of death." The hostess grumbled unhappily, then noticed Gu Nan and said hurriedly, "Sister, why hasn't your husband come back yet? It's so rainy, it's hard to be in the mountains."
Gu Nan lowered his head to play mahjong, and smiled when he heard it, "I don't know, he knows his limits."
"He's been in the mountains for almost three months now. What kind of prey would take so long?" The hostess hesitated to speak. Seeing that Gu Nan showed no worry, she advised: "When he comes back, talk to him properly. Why can't he earn money? Why did he have to go into the mountains? It's been so long without any news. It makes me worried."
Gu Nan nodded in agreement and prepared to leave after lingering for a while. Today's face-showing mission had been completed.
The next second, Gu Nan's face was horrified, and the pain that burned his soul spread throughout every inch of his body. If he hadn't been a guest, he would have screamed by now.
Something happened to the Ghost King Pill.
Something happened to Junyi.
Gu Nan threw down the hemp rope and rushed out.
The figure instantly disappeared in the rain.
The old door kept hitting the wall in the wind and rain, making a dull bang.
The people who were rubbing the hemp rope with their heads down looked up, not knowing what had happened. But when they looked carefully, there was no trace of Gu Nan by the table.
The family looked at each other in confusion. Where is such a big person?
