king's concubine

Chapter 239 Shocking Changes 2
It was obviously the same location, but the last time she and old man Xiguang walked on the stone road, this time they could only walk on the dirt road with overgrown grass, overgrown shrubs and damp soil.It was very difficult to walk along the way, and Rong Huazheng's wrists and neck were scratched several times by some thorny plants encountered along the way, and the long bloodstains slowly extended.

Rong Huazheng didn't pay much attention to these small wounds. In fact, it was not so much that she didn't care about them as it was that she didn't notice any injuries on her body at all. She just wanted to go back to that cabin.

The last time it took to walk was not very long, but this time it took Rong Huazheng more than three hours to climb to the old man's wooden house in Xiguang.

Due to Rong Huazheng's career as a special soldier, she has always had an absolute grasp of geography. For so long, no matter where she goes, no matter how confusing or vast the place is, she will never get lost Yes, of course she won't this time.No matter it's your way, she can clearly remember it once she walked through it, and this time is no exception.

However, when she stood at the old man's wooden house in Xiguang, where could she see any beautiful wooden houses, that place was also replaced by wild grass and shrubs, and it was impossible to tell that there was a small wooden house.

Rong Huazheng has lived in the wooden house for nearly two months, and she knows how many boards there are in the wooden house. She still remembers the smell of the air and quilt in the room where she slept, the smell of the food cooked by the old man Xiguang, and his How sweet and delicious the brewed snow camellia is...

Rong Huazheng couldn't believe her eyes, the experience of the previous two months was vivid in her memory, but there was no trace left here...

what is the problem?

Rong Huazheng's heart kept trembling, restless and depressed.

Is this also caused by old man Xiguang's so-called invisible martial arts?
"Master!" Rong Huazheng shouted at the top of his voice.

What responded to him was still only her own echo.

"master!"

Rong Huazheng yelled for a long time this time, yelling, and she didn't know when she started crying.

She couldn't understand all this in front of her. How could the snow-covered mountain suddenly turn into a green shade, and how could the wooden house that existed obviously disappear in the blink of an eye?

Also... Old Man Xiguang and Snow Wolf are real. They have been together day and night for the past two months. Rong Huazheng still remembers the warmth he felt when he hugged Old Man Xiguang's arm, the feel of Snow Wolf's hair, and that one. The snow wolf used its beautiful tongue to lick her wet, itchy and moist...

She can really feel these things. Although Rong Huazheng's eyes are almost drowned by tears, she is very sober now. She believes that she is not dreaming!
Sobbing, she took off the bag that the old man Xi Guang had given her on her shoulder, and opened it, and there were a lot of rare treasures in her eyes.Among them are precious deep-sea pearl powder, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and thousand-year ginseng. There are more than ten kinds in total, and there are at least two or three pieces of each.In addition, there are several very beautiful jade hairpins and silver tines, luminous pearls, gold bracelets, colorful gemstones...

This is the first time that Rong Huazheng has seen so many treasures, each of which was something she couldn't even imagine in her previous life, and each of them was too precious for her to imagine.

She still remembers her reaction when she first saw many medicinal herbs in Yuwencan's carriage, and she still remembers the joy at that time especially deeply.However, this time, she didn't need to be brazen, embroidered, and didn't pay a little bit. She got more things that others might not get in a lifetime, but she didn't have any excitement.

All the emotions in my heart were wiped out by the disappearing wooden house and the unresponsive shouts...

Rong Huazheng took those things back one by one, and then she didn't leave in a hurry, but sat on the side quietly looking in the direction of the wooden house, her eyes were always red, and her eye bags were swollen.

Rong Huazheng sat quietly, I don't know how long she sat there, I only know that it was already sunset when she regained consciousness.

Rong Huazheng didn't eat for a whole day, and she never felt hungry. After recovering, she heard her stomach protesting loudly.

Rong Huazheng knew that it was impossible for her to go on like this, and now she was eating for two.

She stood up silently, reached out her hand and took out two steamed buns wrapped in paper that were still warm up to now from a bundle that old man Xiguang gave her, and led the horse to eat while walking.

The mountain was too angry, and she couldn't stay on the mountain overnight.

Because Rong Huazheng almost got rid of the weeds on the side of the road when she came up, she could ride down the mountain on a horse, so the journey was quite easy, and it took less than an hour to get down to the bottom of the mountain.

It was getting late when I came down from Zhulang Mountain, and it was getting dark, Rong Huazheng had no choice but to hurry back.

At that time, the city gate was still tightly locked. Rong Huazheng saw that someone on the city wall had seen her, but they all showed a frightened expression.

Rong Huazheng knew that those who left through this city gate would never come back. They probably thought they saw a ghost.

Rong Huazheng twitched the corners of her lips, "I'm human, so open the city gate."

However, as soon as she spoke, the soldiers on the city wall became even more terrified, but they all softened their bodies.

Rong Huazheng's face darkened, "Is it so scary?" After saying that, he couldn't help muttering: "A man is only brave enough to be a soldier. If he had been kicked out in his previous life!"

However, Rong Huazheng found that there were not many people guarding the city gate this time, only a few, and the only few people fainted at the moment, Rong Huazheng had to knock on the gate desperately with his hands.

I stretched out my hand to pat for a long time, but the door did not open, and there were bursts of terrified cries from behind the door, as well as the sound of running away footsteps.

Rong Huazheng's face darkened again.

"Imagination is really rich enough, I thought it was a ghost knocking on the door."

Rong Huazheng snorted anxiously, and then didn't bother to knock on the door. She reached out and took out a small knife and a needle from her bag, and poked a few times with the needle behind the gate bar of the city gate. After hearing the sound of loosening Shen Guomen with a small knife pulled the doorknob, and the city gate suddenly opened.

The gate of the city was very large, and Rong Huazheng had to use all manner of rituals to push the gate open.

After pushing open the door, she found several people in soldiers' attire lying in front of her. Rong Huazheng shook her head and sighed, then led the horse and walked inside.

After walking inside, Rong Huazheng saw that there was no fire in the surroundings, and the surroundings were filled with darkness, with all the fireworks extinguished.

Rong Huazheng frowned, "What's the matter, isn't there a night market at this time, why is there no sound at all?"

After walking for so long, Rong Huazheng was already tired. According to her memory, she came to the inn where she stayed before and knocked on the door.

She took pictures for a while, but no one responded, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, is anyone there?"

"..."

No one responded.

"Strange, what's going on."

Rong Huazheng's sense of smell and hearing are extremely sensitive, she can actually hear the sound of panting in panic coming from inside, and with her sense of smell, there are bursts of fresh food and wine smell coming from inside.

When Rong Huazheng heard it, she was hungry, so she reached out and knocked hard on the door, "I know there is someone inside, open the door for me, I'm here to lodge, it's a human, not a ghost, what are you afraid of!"

There were bursts of voices from inside, as if they were discussing something.

Rong Huazheng kicked the door, "Open the door!"

The voices became denser, Rong Huazheng listened attentively, there were at least a dozen people inside.

She snorted, "They're all cowards, if I'm a ghost, can you block me with this door, open the door, open the door!"

A voice finally came from inside, "...how many, how many people?"

"One!" Rong Huazheng was getting impatient.

"...Then, wait..."

Rong Huazheng waited patiently, and there was a sound inside which was quiet for a long time before continuing, and then the light inside finally turned on.

Rong Huazheng stared at the light, waiting for the door to open.

She waited and waited, and waited for a long time before the door opened.

Rong Huazheng couldn't bear it anymore, "Why do you open the door to do business with such a service attitude!"

The inside was shaking and chaotic, and finally there was a sound. After a cough, Rong Huazheng didn't hear the footsteps, and the door opened automatically.

It was very bright inside, and Rong Huazheng was subconsciously closed her eyes by the light. When she opened her eyes, a net fell from her head. piece.

There was an ah sound from the opening, and Rong Huazheng looked inside, and saw a Taoist priest wearing a gossip pattern performing rituals inside, several people inside were holding sharp weapons, and shrunk their shoulders to make a strong appearance.

Rong Huazheng was so excited by this scene, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think I'm a ghost?" She stretched her foot into the inn.

When the Taoist saw Rong Huazheng coming in, his eyes became round. He took an antique wooden sword and swung a few handfuls of water before greeting Rong Huazheng. His mouth moved so fast that he didn't know what to say.

Rong Huazheng looked very angry, stretched out his hand and pushed the Taoist priest away, and said to the shopkeeper and Xiaoer who were dumbfounded: "What are you doing here, serve the food!"

The shoulders of the Taoist priest who was pushed by Rong Huazheng trembled, but his eyes rolled and he fainted instantly.

"Ah!" The people in the inn uttered a single syllable in unison.

"Okay, it's okay, a coward even lied to others that he was a sorcerer." Rong Huazheng pouted, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said in surprise: "Shopkeeper, why are you so old?" I lived here for a few days, and saw the shopkeeper every day, and Li Hai clearly remembered his appearance.Before he was over 50 years old, there were no wrinkles on his face, but now his face is covered with wrinkles, making him look at least three or four years older.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment when Rong Huazheng greeted her like this, and couldn't help but lower his vigilance and frowned, "Dare to ask the girl..." In his memory, he didn't seem to have seen such a good-looking girl.

"I lived here for a few days two months ago." Rong Huazheng said with a smile.

"Two months ago?" The shopkeeper frowned upon hearing this, "Shopkeeper, although I saw many people, but my memory is very good, the girl is so beautiful, if I really came here two months ago, I can't remember the shopkeeper. "

Rong Huazheng smiled, feeling a little friendly, "I didn't come here in this outfit before. I used to dress up as a man with a beard."

"Oh, so that's the case." The shopkeeper just laughed, and then came to Rong Huazheng amidst the voices of everyone swallowing, and said: "It turns out that the girl is a regular customer, but why did she come back here so soon?" ?”
