Chapter 741: Kongzhai
Chapter 741
The road is really hard to find.
Everyone followed Wen Ling and walked through the winding forest for a long time. Wen Ling was also confused, feeling that the surrounding environment was sometimes familiar and strange.
“Trees…” Wen Ling pointed to the bare branches around and said.
In the late autumn, it is hard to see the fresh and tender leaves in the forest. There are withered tree trunks and branches everywhere, which looks desolate.
The chief Taoist asked, “Wen Ling, when did you leave Weiruozhai?”
Wen Ling recalled it for a moment, and stretched out his hand to raise three fingers.
“You have been away for three years,” Qin Yin said in shock, “I really don’t remember the way back…”
Wen Ling shook his head, shaking those three fingers, “March.”
Xiaolan took a finger and counted, “Did you leave in March?”
nodded.
“That’s only half a year,” Qin Yin said, “Don’t you remember now?”
Wen Ling was a little embarrassed.
“Actually, it is understandable. When Wen Ling left, it was still spring. Now it is autumn. The leaves are all gone. It seems that the environment has naturally changed.” The Taoist leader explained to Wen Ling.
Everyone walked for a long time. Just when the others had begun to think they were lost, Wen Ling suddenly became energetic. She stroked a tree trunk a few times, and then ran towards the right side of the jungle.
Xiaolan glanced at the trunk, and saw that there was a very abstract villain carved on the trunk.
It seems that Wen Ling remembers this tree!
Everyone hurried to keep up, and the more they walked forward, the denser the surrounding trees, even to the point where they could block the line of sight even without a canopy, Wen Ling ran faster and faster, but fortunately she was weak, no matter how fast she was. Not fast…
Xiaolan thought that the secret path would suddenly appear in front of them, but Lu didn’t see it, Xiaolan noticed something else.
“There are so many footprints on the ground,” she said loudly.
Everyone stopped and looked down.
The black soil on the ground is still a bit damp, and across the ground with yellow leaves, you can see dense footprints.
Qin Yin raised a foot subconsciously, “Isn’t this what we stepped on?”
“We can’t make so many footprints,” said the fool, “it has to be at least dozens of people.”
Everyone looked at Wen Ling.
How is this going?
Wen Ling’s face was a little pale, but she didn’t seem to have formed any clear thoughts.
Dao looked into the distance, “The footprints spread from there, ask Ling, are they there…”
Looking at Wenling’s eyes, they already knew the answer.
The direction is Weiruozhai.
These footprints come from Weiruozhai.
Everyone stopped hesitating and started running quickly. This time there was no need to ask the spirit to lead the way. After walking through the jungle for a few minutes, they finally saw Wei Ruozhai not far away from the shadows of the willows.
This is the simple village Xiaolan has seen in Wenling’s memory.
“We are here,” Qin Yin huffed and gasped, “It looks…it feels like other villages.”
She said this quietly, but Xiaolan did not object.
For this village, the only special thing should be the identity of “Sanyan Gathering Place”.
This trail was buried in dense forests, and everyone went around a few times before they officially set foot on the land of Weiruozhai and entered the village.
Xiaolan and Wenling looked at the houses in the village with the same eyes.
Ah, it’s still the same as before.
only……
“It’s so quiet here,” Baomu’s voice was also very soft, “It’s like… as if there is no one.”
Not only them, Wen Ling also doubted this.
Even if there is one person, there can be no such dead silence around him.
Wen Ling staggered for two steps, looked at a closed yard, and walked over by himself.
“Ask Ling…”
Qin Yin quietly stabbed Baomu behind, “Is there anyone else’s smell?”
“No, I can’t smell anything,” Baomu said with his throat pressed, “but it doesn’t explain anything. Sometimes, I can’t smell the smell of Wen Ling. It seems that this is also one of Sanyan’s talents.”
“Hope…”
At this time, Wen Ling had opened the courtyard door indiscriminately and ran to the door yelling.
“aunt……”
This is Wenling’s aunt’s house?
The door was unlocked, and asked Ling to open it.
Everyone was nervous for a second, for fear of seeing something they didn’t want to see.
But inside, it’s just an empty house.
This is a simple and cozy farmhouse. There are few rooms, but it is very spacious. The house is filled with the smell of dust that has been closed for a long time, and the ground is also covered with dust.
Also, footprints.
Someone has been here.
Wen Ling also saw those footprints. With a pair of red eyes, she hurriedly searched all the rooms.
No one at all.
is empty.
And those footprints are all over all the rooms.
“Looking at this dust, it must be at least a month or two,” said the fool, and the footprints should have been left not long ago. ”
is that group of people.
“Wen Ling, why are you leaving Weiruo Village?” Luo Jiutian asked.
Wen Ling’s eyes and nose were a little red, looking pitiful.
“grandfather.”
“Your grandpa told you to leave?” Luo Jiutian asked, “Did you say why?”
Wen Ling shook his head aggrievedly.
Xiaolan remembers that period clearly.
I don’t know anything, I don’t understand anything.
There is only one sentence, Wenling, leave Weiruozhai.
“What did you think of?” The fool looked at Luo Jiutian in thought and asked.
“I think Wen Ling’s grandfather is not just asking Wen Ling to leave,” Luo Jiutian thought with his arm in his arms, “but all Sanyan people have to leave, and Sanyan wants to migrate to the settlement.”
“That wouldn’t be enough not to tell Wen Ling.” Qin Yin said.
“Sanyan is different from other races. Although not everyone looks as special as Wen Ling, the collective migration of such a large group of people will definitely arouse suspicion,” Luo Jiutian explained, “Maybe Wen Ling is the first wave. Go.”
Baomu suddenly realized, “The footprints in the forest are left by the last wave of people who left.”
Xiaolan looked down at the dust and footprints on the ground.
Since there is thick dust here, it means that Wenling’s aunt’s family may have already left.
As for these footprints…
“I see, these footprints are really left by those who want to find Sanyan people,” Xiaolan said. Yan, they want Sanyan’s eyes.”
Qin Yin agreed with this statement, “That’s okay, Wen Ling, you think you are still worried, it seems that your family is gone, so that group of talents didn’t get anything, otherwise, why would they miss you?”
But this did not reduce the anxiety in Wenling’s eyes.
Wen Ling didn’t find her aunt, turned her head and walked out the door.
“grandfather!……”
She shouted aimlessly and rushed into another house.
