Chapter 103: Weird Grandpa
Chapter 103 Weird grandfather and grandson
Ren Qing got up and left Sanxiang City immediately after receiving the task.
He didn’t plan to go deep into the forest, even if the surroundings were already explored, but it didn’t mean that there were no hidden dangers.
Ren Qing searched for clues along the official road leading to Annan Town, and specially put on a mink clothing and hat for walking in the rivers and lakes.
The big seedling sword, which has not been used for a long time, is also pinned to the back.
Before he left, he asked the clerk of Zhao carefully. The town of Annan is located in the southern Xinjiang, and more than 20 students participated in each imperial examination.
And with the support of officers and soldiers, even the jailer will pay attention in secret.
With such a large number of people, the beasts did not dare to approach at all, and they walked on the official road where the danger was determined in advance, so there should be no accidents.
But Annan’s students did not arrive at Sanxiang City after a delay of two days.
asked the jailer, only to say that he suddenly disappeared without warning.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened.
Ren Qing noticed that most of the official roads were traces of vehicles and horses, and there were no footprints of a large number of passers-by.
According to the distance estimation, he is now fifty miles away from Sanxiang City.
Although it only took half an hour, with the strength of an ordinary person’s feet, at least one whole day without food or drink could be traveled for fifty miles.
It can be seen that the Annan students probably did not follow the official path. If they did not enter the jungle, they would not encounter anything unexpected.
Ren Qing recorded the situation, the more useful the information, the more blood crystals he got.
Just when he was about to return to Sanxiang City, he felt a faint light flickering in the distance, which was emitted by the light of torches.
Ren Qing narrowed his eyes subconsciously, his eyes passed through the dark night, and the two figures moved forward step by step.
His expression was a little surprised.
The figure is a pair of young and old.
The old man looked to be in his 70s or 80s, but his actual age should be in his 50s.
The five-year-old boy beside him was a little different. He was wearing a thick cotton coat when the weather was hot.
He was so tightly wrapped that his clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
And the boy’s forehead has a dark purple mark the size of a fingernail, as if it was forcibly pressed out.
Ren Qing felt that the grandfather and grandson were dressed like a tribe in southern Xinjiang. Those Miao people lived in the south of Xiangxiang and had little contact with the outside world.
He tapped his feet on the ground and jumped to a tree branch not far away.
“Grandpa Wo, I’m hot…”
The boy couldn’t help panting and said, but his physical strength was far beyond his age, and there was no tendency to be exhausted when he was on the road.
“Wogu, we will arrive at Sanxiang City soon, and then we can rest.”
Grandpa Wo’s tone was a little dull, and after speaking, he came back to his senses and touched Wo Gu’s head.
But it can be seen from the old man’s feet that he may have been rubbed with blood blisters due to walking for a long time, and the footprints have been slightly bloodstained.
Wogu nodded, wiped the sweat from his face and continued walking along the official road.
Ren Qing did not rush to show up when he saw this.
He intends to find the right time. The two of them feel weirder when they look at it, maybe there will be clues about the students in Annan Town.
The grandfather and grandson walked more than ten miles, and soon began to be sleepy, and the old man’s walking movements became even more staggering.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they couldn’t make their way, the two still didn’t intend to stop, and they didn’t know what was supporting their will.
Coincidentally, there is a ruined temple that has been abandoned for a long time not far away, so the grandfather and grandson chose to stay for one night, and then rush to Sanxiang City tomorrow.
The city **** was originally enshrined in the broken temple, but most of the statues have long been broken.
Grandpa Wo used a torch to light a bonfire, and then opened all the windows to ventilate, otherwise it would be easy to suffocate people alive.
Wo Gu fell asleep beside him, even though he didn’t take off his coat at this time.
Compared with the strangeness of the old man, the grandson is indeed slightly normal.
Ren Qing walked directly to the ruined temple when he saw this, Da Miao Dao received the prison in his belly, and specially changed into the clothes of a scholar.
Grandpa Wo noticed that there were footsteps approaching, and his eyes suddenly became vigilant.
He placed his right hand subconsciously behind his waist, and there was a hatchet hidden there.
“Old man, I’m sorry, I’m a scholar who went to Sanxiang City, and I got separated from the team, so I could only sleep in the rough.”
As Ren Qing spoke, he silently used the abilities of the Mirror Man.
The purpose of is naturally to test the other party, and you can also try to make your own image harmless to livestock.
Grandpa Wo looked up and down at Ren Qing for a moment, then nodded.
He picked up his grandson’s sleeping body and gave up his seat to Ren Qing, but he was still a few meters apart, so he was still wary.
Ren Qing sat down by the bonfire. In this short period of time, the injuries on the old man’s feet recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, the hair on his head was a little more silvery, as if his lifespan was passing by.
Ren Qing took out the dry food from his arms, he wanted to hand it to the grandfather, but the latter refused, but his face obviously slowed down a lot.
The night was long, and it was impossible to sleep with strangers beside them. The two began to chat without a word.
Ren Qing glanced at Wo Gu from the corner of his eye, the little boy’s face turned pale, and he became less and less bloody, as if he was about to die.
“Is your grandson all right?”
Grandpa Wo hurriedly checked Wo Gu and found that his condition had deteriorated, and was shocked.
He took out a water bag made of cow stomach from his bosom, and then lifted the nest to feed a little, and the latter gradually recovered.
Ren Qing’s expression is different.
Although the light was dim, he noticed that the water bag was filled with a yellow-brown sticky grease.
has a quirky scent.
Ren Qing had cooked for a long time, and he quickly realized that the oil should be mixed with various spices, so it is only when they cook with each other.
But how does he feel that adding spices is more like masking the original taste.
“The old man took your grandson to Sanxiang City for treatment, right?”
Grandpa Wo’s eyes were lost for a moment, as if he wanted to recall something, but he just shook his head and didn’t answer.
After a while, he deliberately changed the subject and asked, “Isn’t my little brother from Sanxiang City?”
“I’m from Annan Town.”
Ren Qing’s words made it obvious that he could see the shock on Grandpa Wo’s face. Although he quickly covered it up, he couldn’t escape his eyes.
Wo grandpa forced a few words of comfort, and then gradually distanced himself from Ren Qing on the grounds of taking care of his grandson.
Ren Qing was a little puzzled, and the two grandfathers and grandsons revealed strangeness everywhere.
And he came into contact with Grandpa Xiawo, who is really just an ordinary person, but there are various indications that it may be related to Annan students.
Wo Gu woke up in a daze and said to himself, “Master Wo, I dreamed of them again…”
Grandpa Wo said plainly: “Go to sleep, go to sleep, we will be in the city tomorrow.”
Wogu fell asleep again.
Ren Qing pretended to rest and thought to himself: “I want to see what’s in the dream.”
