Transmigrated into the original heroine of the period novel who was cannon fodder

Chapter 440 The Old Man’s Territory (3)

Lingxi and Gu Si followed closely behind.

It doesn't seem noticeable from a distance, but once Lingxi entered the wooden building, she discovered that this two-story building had a different world.

In addition to the gatehouse, there is also a tree house built on the ancient tree next to it. Judging from its height, it is estimated that all the situations in the valley can be seen at a glance. Lingxi has good eyesight and can vaguely see a blurry figure flashing through the open window of the tree house.

I guess there are people on duty up there.

Entering the yard, there were many people practicing martial arts on one side hidden behind a row of red maple trees.

Pei Yanning didn't say much along the way, but the old man in shorts and a hat to protect himself from the sun kept talking.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and I finally see you. The head of the family has instructed that if you come back, you can do whatever you like..."

This one is very useful after I came back.

Obviously, the old man has always kept a place for Pei Yanning and the others.

Seeing that Pei Yanning had no intention of stopping him, he introduced them along the way.

Apart from anything else, food, clothing and housing must be clearly explained first, and any dangers must also be made clear.

While they were talking, the old man led them inside, into the meeting room across the main hall, and into the courtyard inside. The main house of the small building came into their sight.

The old man continued his introduction.

"This is where the master of the family occasionally stays. The main house is behind the main building, but I can only stop here. Except for the master of the family's permission, few people have the authority to set foot there. Now that the master of the family is not here, we cannot go in or out."

He pointed in a direction.

So if Pei Yanning wanted to live there, he had to go by himself.

Pei Yanning was not surprised. It was normal for the old man not to want to contact others and not want others to come in and out of his territory.

The old man opened the door of the main building.

“I won’t follow you in.

If you are not in a hurry, you can rest here for a while.

I'm going to ask for water and food for you. Are there any requirements or dietary restrictions? We have no shortage of common necessities here."

Under normal circumstances, if you are exhausted after traveling all the way, you should wash up. But I'm afraid you haven't had enough food and drink since you came into the mountains from outside.

Pei Yanning nodded. Since the old man had taken root here, he had just come all the way from outside, along the waterways that ran through the valley, by the streams that led from the lakes, and under the tents built along the way, there were some people setting up stalls to trade goods.

Lingxi had followed Gu Si's scattered spiritual power and had taken a look. This was probably the characteristic of this place, where most of the transactions were done in barter.

The stalls sell weapons and hidden weapons that they got from somewhere, some homemade pills, rare medicinal herbs, and also clothes and armor.

It’s just that the styles of the clothes are extremely uniform and monotonous. They are all wearing shorts. Opposite is the place selling pockets, masks and cloaks, which can be called a one-stop service.

Besides that, there are also places selling food.

Selling snacks, rice and fried vegetables.

However, there was no place for dining in for food, so everyone carried their food boxes to take away. Judging from the direction they were heading, they were all heading straight for the surrounding fenced courtyards and the caves with wooden doors on the mountain wall.

It can be seen that everything that should be there is really here.

Pei Yanning didn't mean to be polite.

"According to the old man's habit, prepare three meals for us. As for the rest, if there is anything missing, we will tell you, and you can do whatever you want."

"That works!"

He handed the spare key he had with him to Pei Yanning.

"The master prepared it earlier."

He was about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something, so he stopped and asked, "Master, is he really gone?"

Pei Yanning's expression paused slightly.

"Who knows!"

The old man's eyes seemed to be a little red, but he didn't mention him again. He turned around and left. In a blink of an eye, only the three of them were left in the yard.

Lingxi looked at her father who had already taken off his mask, and then looked at her father who had put on his hood and mask and pulled them down again. She silently followed suit and pulled down her mask, feeling a little curious.

"You know him?"

That reaction just now was obviously not right.

However, it was obvious that seeing his biological father's appearance, he probably mistook his biological father for his uncle.

Well, my biological father is now my uncle, and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with that.

Pei Yanning hummed.

"The old man next to your grandfather."

In those days, every family had servants to order around. The old man didn't like people to get close to him, but when he was out, he couldn't rely on himself for everything. The person they just saw was one of them.

Pei Yanning, oh no, he was the eldest son and grandson of the Pei family and the eldest young master of the Pei family. I was quite familiar with him.

When the old man went to see them secretly, he would sometimes let him go with him.

But, they haven't seen each other for thirty years, and Pei Yanning didn't show any intention of being affectionate with her just after meeting her. He was quite kind for being able to speak vaguely without saying that he was going to die in one breath.

Pei Yaning, Gu Silingxi and the others didn't actually need to rest in any way. There was a flying vehicle along the way, and they just got off the vehicle when they reached the entrance. The whole journey didn't take much effort.

As for the matter of food...

Although Pei Yanning said that he disliked the old man to death and called him old man all the time.

But in fact, I still miss him in my heart.

Pei Yanning actually just wanted to see what the old man’s daily meals looked like.

They can now see with their own eyes what the old man’s living conditions were like before, but they haven’t even seen what he ate.
Although Lingxi and the others came for the old man's private vault, they were not in a hurry.

Lingxi simply groped around in this small building.

The small building is really not big. The main building covers an area of ​​only over 100 square meters. Looking at the furniture, it has a very ancient style.

The first floor is divided into two parts by an arch.

There are normal armchairs and square tables placed outside for entertaining guests.

Any small item placed on the antique shelves on both sides of the arch is not only priceless, but also rare and exquisite items that would be hard to find if placed outside. The most interesting thing is to go inside the arch.

What caught my eye was the soft couch by the window, and on the small table above it there was a half-finished chessboard that was temporarily sealed.

There is a round table with a teapot on it, and I guess they might have eaten here. Not far from the couch, there is a whole wall of bookshelves with the books neatly arranged, and there is also a long desk next to it.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available.

There were two open doors on the other side. One of them had neatly arranged cabinets that looked like a Chinese medicine shop, and the other was filled with a wide variety of weapons.

Pei Yanning took a glance and was not surprised at all!
He complained in his heart, and his mental power had already swept upstairs.

The bedroom, study and tea room are all on the second floor. There is a huge balcony on the front and back of the second floor, and the view is quite good.

The most important thing is that the second floor is connected to the main house that the old man mentioned earlier.

And the old man’s private vault is in there.
