Chapter 137 Flower Field

So far, conditions 1, 2, 3, and 5 have been completed without any problems.

Only condition 4 remains.

Condition 4 is quite bizarre, requiring Fang Zhixing to live in an absolutely dark space for seven days.

"Put myself in solitary confinement?"

Fang Zhixing thought about it and decided that the only place that could meet the requirement of “absolutely pitch-black space” could be a cellar or a secret room.

“Secret rooms are mostly privately built for personal use.”

Fang Zhixing thought about it and realized that there was only one secret room he knew of.

The Xuanwu Pavilion in the Casting Hall is the place where martial arts secrets are collected.

"It's impossible for me to stay in that secret room for seven days without coming out. Besides, 'absolute darkness' means that the door cannot be opened during those seven days..."

Fang Zhixing quickly killed this idea, and he was more inclined to find a secret cellar.

"Well, don't worry, let's go back to the camp first."

Fang Zhixing was in a good mood and boarded the wupeng boat.

The boat quickly rowed to the lakeside ferry.

Fang Zhixing got off the boat, readily paid the boatman and the old guide, and went straight back to the camp.

Soon, he found out that there was a small village called "Xinghua Village" less than fifteen miles south of the camp.

Fang Zhixing quickly packed up and rode to the village.

Soon, a large apricot forest appeared ahead.

After the severe winter, all things come back to life and it is the season when apricot blossoms bloom.

Walking among the apricot blossom forest is like drifting in a pink ocean.

The apricot blossoms on the trees are white with a hint of pink, and the petals are moist and transparent, as if they were drunk, with the entire branch crimson.

"Look, it's pretty."

The thin dog jumped up happily, bit off a tender pink flower bud, and filled its mouth with the refreshing fragrance.

Fang Zhixing rode on a horse, slowed down and admired the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw a beautiful and quiet village at the end of the forest path.

At the outermost edge of the village stands a circle of bamboo fences, inside which are rows of fenced courtyards, which are simple yet elegant.

Each courtyard is filled with colorful flowers and plants, the air is filled with fragrance, and green vines extend over the fences, creating green shades.

The corridors are full of green flowers and trees, and purple and green wisterias half cover the walls.

This place is like a pastoral painting, full of poetic and picturesque beauty and great fun.

"No way, is this Xinghua Village a paradise?"

The little dog smacked his lips in amazement and was simply stunned.

In this turbulent and chaotic world, there is such a beautiful and picturesque place far away from the hustle and bustle. It is so rare! Fang Zhixing frowned slightly, also feeling strange.

He secretly held a throwing knife in his hand and approached cautiously.

There is a rock outside the village.

At this moment, there was an old man with a white beard and wearing a bamboo hat, leaning against a rock, crossing his legs, and smoking a pipe leisurely.

Fang Zhixing bowed and asked, "Old man, is this Xinghua Village?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, are you here to buy flowers?"

Buying flowers? Fang Zhixing couldn't help but shudder and asked in surprise: "Do you make a living by growing flowers in Xinghua Village?"

The old man smiled proudly and said, "The flowers grown in our Xinghua Village are well-known far and wide. They are all precious and rare species. We specialize in supplying flower seeds or flowers for the gardens of the mansions of major wealthy families."

Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.

It turns out that Xinghua Village is a flower cultivation base and all the villagers are gardeners.

"No wonder this village is so beautiful, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere." Xigou also suddenly realized.

Fang Zhixing asked, "Old man, I want to rent a house with a well-enclosed cellar. Is there such a house in the village?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied, "Go ask Huagu. Go straight ahead until you reach the deepest part of the village. That's the largest fenced yard."

Fang Zhixing thanked him and rode into the village.

After a while, he reached the end of the road.

What comes into view is a large flower field, with row after row of flowers.

In the middle of the flower field stands a spacious and large two-story bamboo building, filled with an antique atmosphere.

Fang Zhixing followed the scattered paths and came to the gate of the bamboo building.

“Wangwang!”

Suddenly, a big black dog rushed out and barked at Fang Zhixing and the thin dog through the fence.

The thin dog glanced at the big black dog with a look of disdain.

The big black dog seemed to be irritated by this and kept barking through the door.

Fang Zhixing dismounted and noticed a bell hanging on the door. He reached out and shook it.

Ding-dang-dang~ the ringtone spread slowly.

After a while, a head popped out from the second floor of the bamboo building. It was a middle-aged woman, who quickly shrank back.

Although Fang Zhixing only took a quick glance, he felt that the woman was graceful and charming, and seemed to be a great beauty.

The next moment, the woman walked out of the bamboo house and came to the fence gate.

"Xiao Hei, stop yelling."

The woman reached out and touched the dog's head.

The big black dog then calmed down.

Fang Zhixing looked at her carefully and found that, as expected, the woman was extremely beautiful, with delicate features, skin as white as porcelain, and a nice figure.

There are light freckles on her cheeks, adding a touch of charm.

Fang Zhixing quickly gave an evaluation in his heart. She was more mature than Luo Qianqian, and had a bit more wild beauty than Su Niang.

"Who are you, and who are you looking for?"

The sun was shining brightly. The woman raised her hand and placed it across her eyebrows, looking carefully at the tall and burly Fang Zhixing.

"My name is Zhixing, and I'm from Qinglin County. May I ask if you are Huagu?"

Fang Zhixing smiled and replied, "I want to rent a room with a cellar. Someone told me you have one here."

Hua Gu was silent for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What do you want the cellar for?"

Fang Zhixing said bluntly: "I am a martial artist, and I need an absolutely quiet place to meditate on the technique."

Hua Gu understood, thought for a moment, and asked, "I have a cellar here, how long do you want to rent it?"

Fang Zhixing said: "It only takes one month. I may leave early, but I will pay one month's rent."

Hua Gu nodded, raised her hand and pointed to the east of the flower field, and said carefully: "I built a few small farmhouses over there for the temporary flower farmers to live in. There is a cellar next to the farmhouses. It was used to store flower seeds for a period of time, but it was later abandoned."

She warned: "The cellar has not been cleaned for a long time, it is a bit dirty, and there may be rats and bugs in it."

Fang Zhixing asked, "How well is the cellar sealed? Is there any light leakage?"

"That's not a leak."

Hua Gu smiled faintly and said, "The cellar is built relatively solidly. It doesn't let in light, doesn't leak water, and doesn't get damp."

Fang Zhixing said with satisfaction: "Okay, I will clean it myself."

"Okay then, I'll take you there to have a look."

Hua Gu opened the fence and walked out.

The big black dog jumped out, came to the thin dog, stared at it, and made a low growl from time to time.

The thin dog rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Ever since becoming a dog, Xigou hates dogs the most!

Hua Gu took Fang Zhixing and walked eastward.

The big black dog followed the thin dog all the way, being both alert and curious, and from time to time trying to get closer and smell the thin dog's butt.

"roar!"

The thin dog glared and barked, showing its teeth and looking ferocious.

"Woo~" The big black dog was so scared that its neck shrank, its ears drooped, and it hid beside Hua Gu, trembling.

Hua Gu couldn't help but look deeply at the thin dog and stroked the big black dog's head to comfort him.

"Are you a dog or a wolf?" Hua Gu couldn't help asking.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "He is a thin dog."

"thin……"

Hua Gu widened her eyes slightly, vaguely understood something, her cheeks slightly reddened, and she did not pursue the matter further.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing raised his lips, and immediately changed the subject, asking out of curiosity: "Aunt Hua, does this large flower field belong to you?"

Hua Gu replied: "Yes, it was passed down from my grandmother."

Fang Zhixing understood and sighed, "It's a mess outside, with countless people displaced, but here you are peaceful and at peace with the world, how great!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Hearing this, Hua Gu glanced at Fang Zhixing, chuckled, and replied: "Is there a place in this world where you can live in peace? Xinghua Village is not as peaceful as you think."

Fang Zhixing was startled at first, and was about to ask in detail, but Hua Gu suddenly quickened her pace, pointed to a row of bamboo houses in front and said, "We're here. There are eight bamboo houses in total."

Fang Zhixing took a look and found that the bamboo house was empty and no one lived there. It had been cleaned and looked particularly tidy.

Hua Gu walked to the side of the farmhouse, bent down, and reached out to lift up a bamboo cover on the ground.

In an instant, a dark hole appeared below.

Fang Zhixing stretched his head to take a look. There was a wooden ladder under the cave entrance, leading to the bottom. The depth was nearly three meters, enough for a person to stand upright.

He slid down the wooden ladder and looked around.

The cellar is about four meters long. The bottom is covered with a layer of sand, and the surrounding walls are also coated with a layer of paste, making the surface smooth and dry.

There is no special smell in the air.

But the sunlight coming in from the cave entrance immediately exposed the intertwined layers of spider webs.

Fang Zhixing looked up and said, "Except for the fact that there are a lot of spider webs that need to be cleaned up, there is nothing else."

Hua Gu Lian said, "Wait a moment, I'll get you a broom."

soon!

The cobwebs in the cellar were swept away.

The two agreed on the rent and Fang Zhixing paid it readily.

Afterwards, Hua Gu left with the big black dog.

Fang Zhixing squatted down, looked at the cellar, and sighed: "Alas, I only need to stay in the cell for seven days."

The thin dog coughed dryly and said, "Well, I don't need to go to jail with you."

Fang Zhixing squinted at Xi Gou and spread his hands, saying, "It's up to you, but just in case, I mean just in case, I upgrade and you don't, don't blame me."

“…”

The dog couldn't help but hesitate, and gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I've already accompanied you here, so what if I can endure it for another seven days."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said, "I think that if I stay in the cellar and you guard the entrance to the cellar outside and don't let anyone open it casually, it's also a kind of companionship, isn't it?"

Xigou thought about it and said excitedly: "Yes, I will guard it..."

The next moment, he suddenly reacted, blinked and said, "Wait, you were planning to let me guard the door for you for seven days from the beginning, right?"

Fang Zhixing replied: "I haven't thought about it that way. I can lock the cellar door from the inside, so I don't need to guard it all the time."

Xigou narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you worried that someone might force it open from the outside?"

Fang Zhixing curled his lips and said, "If someone really wants to do this, can you, a dog like you, stop them?"

Xi Gou said angrily: "Who are you looking down on? My strength can sweep through the Guanli realm. Even if a warrior from the Damang realm comes, I can still suppress him."

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Okay, then you stay here."

He held a water jar and jumped directly in, then closed the bamboo lid.

“…”

The thin dog watched silently, then lay down bored and pressed on the bamboo cover.

The cellar was pitch black, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.

Fang Zhixing put the water tank in the corner and spread a bamboo mat on the ground.

For the next seven days, he would eat meat pills to fill his stomach, and drinking water was also prepared.

As for peeing and pooping, it all depends on that water tank.

The conditions are like this, just hang in there! The first day passed quickly.

The next day, it suddenly started raining.

The thin dog had to hide in the farmhouse to avoid the rain.

This spring rain was drizzling and endless, lasting for three days.

After the sky cleared up, the little dog was bored and wandered around in the garden.

The big black dog stared at him from a distance, as if it always wanted to run over and play with him.

But, the thin dog has his own pride and would never play with another dog.

That evening, the little dog was lying down and sleeping when suddenly the sound of horse hooves was heard in the wind.

He looked up and saw three tall horses coming to the gate of Hua Gu's bamboo house.

Someone will be here soon.

However, the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see clearly.

The thin dog quickly lay down.

But after a while, the barking of a big black dog was heard, and it was very excited.

The thin dog tilted its head, covered its ears, and continued to sleep.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.

The little dog raised his head in confusion, and when he looked carefully, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

A horse came running over in panic, with a rein behind its butt.

At the end of the reins, a person's foot was entangled.

The man was dragged, crushing the flowers along the way.

Xigou stood up and took a closer look. He found that the man was vomiting blood and there was a large dent in his chest.

Immediately afterwards, a figure came running over quickly. It was Hua Gu.

She just pointed her toes, jumped high, and landed gracefully on the horse's back, steadying the frightened horse.

Then she dismounted, walked up to the man, looked down at him, raised her jade feet, and stomped hard.

Crack! The sound of a spine being broken was heard in the world.

The little dog was terrified, his ears drooped, and he lay on the ground.

Hua Gu tilted her head to glance at the thin dog, then looked away, picked up the man's body, led the horse, and left.

The thin dog watched from afar and saw Hua Gu dig a hole in the flower field and bury the man.

After doing all this, Hua Gu wiped the sweat off her forehead, suddenly turned around and walked over, all the way to the front of the thin dog.

At this moment, Xigou was panicking and called out urgently, "Fang Zhixing, come out quickly."

Fang Zhixing replied in a voice transmission: "What's wrong?"

It was hard for Xigou to describe the situation in front of him, and he said directly: "That Hua Gu might kill me."

The next moment, Hua Gu squatted in front of Xi Gou, gently touched his head, and said with a smile: "Look at my flower field. Three more people were buried today. The soil will definitely become more fertile and can grow more beautiful flowers, right?"

The thin dog lay on the ground, trembling with fear and not daring to move.

After a moment, Hua Gu stood up and left with light steps.

Xigou let out a long breath and shouted, "Oh my god, this crazy woman almost scared me to death!"
