Gu Qingxi continued hunting with Lekong and Tan Taiqi. In the end, Lekong was carrying more than a dozen black rats, and Tan Taiqi also had five or six black rats on his body. Gu Qingxi alone carried more than 30 black rats.
Lekong looked at Gu Qingxi who was walking in front of him carrying more than 30 black rats, looked up at the sky, and then sighed.
I never thought that I was such a weak chicken before. Qingxi is still reliable at critical moments, sob. Now I can finally understand why Xia Tian often said that Qingxi is the thigh.
Tan Taiqi also looked at the girl walking easily in front of him with some astonishment. He thought the girl was just good at swordsmanship, but he didn't expect her strength to be so great. From being rescued by this girl to now that the girl carries most of the prey by herself, Tan Taiqi always feels like he has become a weak woman, being protected by a strong man.
Stop, stop, what a weird idea! Tan Taiqi shook his head and threw this weird idea out of his mind.
Suddenly, Gu Qingxi turned around and looked at Tan Tai and Le Kong, and said leisurely: "Are you saying in your heart that I am so strong, and then you feel very safe, and you feel that you are weak and helpless?"
"No, absolutely not." Le Kong shook his head repeatedly. He would not admit that he was thinking almost like this at the moment.
"No." Hearing Gu Qingxi's words, Tan Tai almost burst out, but his good upbringing made him hold back. Then he lied calmly and denied Gu Qingxi's guess.
When they walked to the entrance of the village, Tan Tai invited them: "Come to my house, my house is clean and solid. I will also teach you how to store this meat and how to store water. You have to stay in the house for twenty days a month, so you must be fully prepared."
"Okay, even if you don't say it, I have the same idea. Let's go to your house first, and then I will pick up my friend. We have another friend with us." Gu Qingxi said. After saving Tan Tai, she waited for her anger to dissipate and thought about these issues. Since Tan Tai has been here for five hundred years, he must have experience and a foundation. It would be good to find him to go with us so that we can take care of each other.
"Do you have another friend?" Tan Tai asked.
"Yes, someone from the Feng family, Feng Xia Tian." Gu Qingxi replied.
"Someone from the Feng family..." Tan Tai knew the Feng family, and even knew the head of the Feng family. But he had never heard of Feng Xia Tian's name. He thought that she was either from a branch family or someone who was born in these five hundred years.
Gu Qingxi went back to his home with Tan Tai first, and then went back to pick Feng Xia Tian up.
Feng Xia Tian felt much more comfortable lying on Tan Tai's bed. Because Tan Tai's bed was covered with thick animal fur.
"Thank you, Uncle Tan Tai." Feng Xia Tian lay on the bed, and Tan Tai thanked him.
Why did Feng Xia Tian call Tan Tai his uncle? That's because Feng Xia Tian had heard Tan Tai's name from his father more than once. Tan Tai Yu is a friend of Feng Xia Tian's father, and they have a pretty good relationship. Feng Xia Tian, of course, has to call him uncle.
"I didn't expect your father to be so fertile. You actually have three sisters." Tan Tai Yu said with emotion.
"I didn't expect that you, uncle, have been stuck here for so many years." Feng Xia Tian also sighed. His father thought very highly of his friend. He often asked why this friend hadn't come to visit him for so long. He thought that this friend had gone into seclusion to practice, but he didn't expect that he had been trapped here for so many years.
"How big is this place? You have been looking for it for so many years. Is there anything special about this place?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Tan Tai began to narrate slowly: "This place is really small, just this mountain range and this open space. There is only one mountain behind the village. There are no living creatures on the mountain, only spring water, and drinking water is brought down from the back.
The front mountain is the place for hunting. The mountains ahead are very dangerous, and are the habitat of black monsters. They sleep there for ten days in a month, and wander around for the remaining twenty days. I once wanted to go to the mountains ahead to explore if there is a way out, but I almost died there.
Many people went to explore, but except for those who were lucky enough to save their lives, everyone else died. Why are they so sure that they are all dead? Because the things they carried with them appeared at the entrance of the village. They were brought back by those monsters. They seemed to hate leaving human things on the mountain, so they carried them all and threw them back here."
Do these monsters treat the things brought by the monks as garbage and treat the village as a garbage dump? Gu Qingxi frowned and thought. This place is full of weirdness, which makes people feel uneasy.
"In other words, the exit is likely to be at the end of the mountain range?" Gu Qingxi guessed.
"...I think it may not be." Tan Tai Xuan suddenly said with a complicated expression.
"Why?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Once the monks united and went to the end of the mountain together. It is said that more than a hundred people went together, but only one person came back, and did not return to the village, but just wandered in the front mountain. This person did not say a word, but just laughed crazily, and finally committed suicide." Tan Tai Xuan said slowly.
Le Kong and Feng Xia Tian looked at each other, and felt a chill rising on their backs. They all thought of a possibility, and thought of the truth that made people despair.
"Because this person found that the end was not the exit, and spent so much effort and many people's lives to get there, but the result was not the exit they thought. So they couldn't bear it anymore and went crazy." Gu Qingxi added calmly. "
Yes, it should be like this... But I didn't give up, after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes. So I still tried, but I almost lost my life." Tan Tai Xuan said helplessly.
Gu Qingxi's heart sank when she heard this. This place seemed to be more bizarre and bad than she had imagined.
"There is a strongest male cultivator in the village. He hates the good relationship between men and women, so no one dares to cause trouble in the village. I am usually very careful, but today someone took advantage of me and blocked me there. Fortunately, I met you." Tan Taiyan mentioned what happened just now. There was no embarrassment on her face. Instead, she thanked Gu Qingxi again, "Miss Gu, thank you."
Gu Qingxi waved her hand and said, "No thanks. If you really want to thank me, can you boil some hot water for me? I want to take a hot bath." Gu Qingxi knew very well that people like Tan Taiyan, who had light in their eyes, were arrogant and proud. Even if they were stuck in the mud, the light in his eyes would not go out, and his pride would not be broken.
Tan Taiyan heard this request and couldn't help but smile slightly: "I'll go boil hot water for you right away."
"By the way, you need firewood to boil water, and you have to chop the firewood yourself, right?" Gu Qingxi remembered this.
"Yes." Tan Taiyan replied.
Gu Qingxi: “…” How did I suddenly change from cultivation mode to farming mode?
