In a dilapidated mountain earth house, a bonfire was raised inside the house, and a pot was hung on a shelf.

A group of people gathered around the bonfire, and Yi Shuyuan, who was wearing a ragged cotton coat, curled up in the inner corner, warming himself by the fire before he gradually calmed down.

It's just that Yi Shuyuan was very confused at the moment. He was extremely panicked and forced himself to calm down at the same time. The joy he felt when he was first rescued and put on trial had long since disappeared, because even if he still couldn't figure out the situation, he understood his situation.

Not good.

Based on some words Yi Shuyuan heard, the earthen house where everyone was staying was actually an abandoned inn.

Before, Yi Shuyuan was so cold that he couldn't speak, but now he didn't dare to speak casually at all.

Not only were the people in the room dressed in strange clothes, but they were also holding either knives or long-pointed spears, hooks, sickles, and nets. They were pushing Yi Shuyuan around as if they were pieces of cargo, and their eyebrows were raised.

The evil spirit revealed in the room seems to be visible to the naked eye, and it is definitely not a good person.

Yi Shuyuan once thought it was the filming site of some ancient drama, but as he had certain relevant work experience, he only needed to glance around and found that there were no equipment or staff to immediately reject this possibility. The so-called abandoned inn where he was located

There are no traces of modernization at all.

Now, except for a trace of unrealistic luck, Yi Shuyuan's heart was filled with endless absurdity and fear.

However, Yi Shuyuan did not speak, but the others in the room were talking happily.

"Brother, should we change to a section further upstream tomorrow, or to a place closer to the shore?"

The person who spoke was a person who was close to Yi Shuyuan. He was wrapped in a leather vest-like vest, but he was wearing a wide cloth suit underneath. His hair was tied up in a bun with a silk scarf, but some of it was scattered on the back of his head. It was obvious that

The hair is not short.

Yi Shuyuan clearly remembered that this person lifted him out of the ice water with one hand, and then carried him behind him for a long distance with one hand to get here.

Although other people's clothes are different, they are basically the same.

Before the so-called eldest brother could say anything, someone next to him started complaining.

"It's been so many days and there's no trace at all. Is the information wrong?"

"Yes, the dry food I brought is not enough. If this continues, should I use him as rations?"

A man grabbed a branch and stoked the fire. Saying scary words, he pointed the burning branch at Yi Shuyuan, causing the latter to suffocate briefly.

Cannibal? Eat me? Yi Shuyuan's already pale face became even more pale.

"Okay, don't scare him. You won't be afraid of becoming stupid after eating a fool's meat?"

"Hahahahaha... I'm already stupid enough, it doesn't matter if I'm a little stupider." "What did you say?"

"Did I say something wrong?" "You!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. The two men were obviously not generally grumpy. They even held down their weapons. At this moment, a man with a short beard who had been silent finally spoke.

"Okay, stop making trouble! That beast is extremely powerful, but cowardly and cunning. It is really difficult to deal with. We have to think of other ways tomorrow, but we must not give up easily. Snow pythons are rare in the world. If we can

The courage of a snow python is worth more than countless treasures of gold and silver!"

"That's right, I heard that even if you take it directly, you can get rid of all kinds of diseases and your power will be greatly improved!" "Of course I will sell it, so that we can be prosperous and wealthy in the rest of our lives!"

"If I offer it to the emperor, can I get an official position?" "I'm afraid I have to give it to a high official!"

“You can’t have less money!” “That makes sense!”

"Ha ha ha ha......"

While everyone was talking, laughing and admiring, the short-bearded leader looked at Yi Shuyuan, who was thinking about the word "emperor". When he saw others looking over, he subconsciously shrank to the corner.

"Well, Ah Gou, give him some hot soup and some food. It's just a bait. If you kill him again, it will be really troublesome."

"knew."

Yi Shuyuan quickly looked at the person who responded. He was a man who looked noticeably thinner even though he was not thinly dressed. He was considered taciturn among this group of people and had been taking care of the pot.

The conversation of others began to turn to some dirty jokes, about the girl from such and such building in such and such city, the pretty widow from somewhere, etc.

Although Yi Shuyuan's eyes were always looking at the dog, watching him filling soup in bamboo cans, watching him taking out steamed buns from a cloth bag, and even Yi Shuyuan could not help but lick his tongue and swallow his saliva, his peripheral vision and ears were always

Pay attention to what other people are saying.

It was confirmed again that there was no trace of a set, and no equipment was seen. The fierce aura that suppressed Yi Shuyuan, as well as the experience of nearly dying in the glacier, made him realize that this was really not acting...

..

"Here, the soup is still a little hot, so be careful."

Yi Shuyuan carefully reached out to hold the bamboo can and steamed buns. His hunger and desire could no longer be suppressed. He carefully raised the bamboo tube, took a sip to test the temperature, and then drank a few big gulps.

The soup was delicious and warm. A warm and thick flow flowed down the mouth into Yi Shuyuan's stomach, quickly warming his body and even his mind, making him feel like he was still alive.

Then Yi Shuyuan took a big bite of the steamed bun, filling his mouth until he started chewing it, and then swallowed it with the soup. His body's desire and the environment he was in made him unable to care about being polite at all.

Seeing that Yi Shuyuan could eat and drink, Ah Gou left and returned to the position where he was squatting just now.

The people chatting there seemed to have come to an end for the time being, so someone turned to look at Yi Shuyuan who was devouring his food, and asked with an obvious smile.

"Hey, that fool, where is your home?"

Hearing this, Yi Shuyuan, who had just swallowed his last mouthful of steamed buns, was stunned for a moment, but his body moved faster than his thoughts, and he spoke almost instinctively.

"My home, my home is in Xihe Village, Yuanjiang County. My mother is waiting for me to come back..."

Speaking of this, Yi Shuyuan shut his mouth. What happened? Where is that? While his thoughts were running, some kind of vague but bright memory also appeared in Yi Shuyuan's mind. It was a quiet and peaceful village.

There are cats, dogs, chickens, ducks...

"Hahahahaha, he knows this complete sentence and answers immediately every time I ask!"

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha......"

There was another burst of laughter beside the campfire, and Yi Shuyuan himself was even more embarrassed and a little imaginative.

The dog, on the other hand, came over to take away the bamboo tube after Yi Shuyuan finished eating it, but Yi Shuyuan held on tightly and looked up at the dog. This was Yi Shuyuan's subconscious behavior, but next time he

He realized in a moment that this was irrational, and quickly let go of his hand.

Agou withdrew the bamboo tube, looked at the unkempt man's frightened expression, and sighed.

"I'll serve you some more."

Someone on the side looked at Agou sideways and joked.

"Agou, we have to take good care of our fool, otherwise we won't be able to use you to replenish our bait!"

Hearing these words, Agou shrank slightly. Yi Shuyuan, who had been paying attention here, could feel that he was also clearly showing fear, but the so-called big brother spoke immediately.

"Agou, don't listen to his nonsense, just do your job properly."

After he finished speaking, the elder brother stared hard at the person who had just made fun of him. The latter waved his hands repeatedly, but the playful smile on his face did not diminish.

Yi Shuyuan in the corner kept taking deep breaths to calm down his overly excited heart due to fear. He observed everything in the room as quietly as possible. He saw dark spots on the corners of some people's clothes that looked like blood stains, and saw some people wiping their soldiers.

When I was cutting, I also saw some hidden weapons reflecting cold light from some gaps in the blade...

Yi Shuyuan suppressed the remaining luck in his heart. These people are really villains who kill without blinking an eye!

The light from the bonfire flickered slightly, and in Yi Shuyuan's eyes, the shadows behind the group of people continued to distort, making them look like various monsters with teeth and claws.

Agou, who was serving the soup, came over again, but Yi Shuyuan, who had been looking forward to the hot soup, felt a greater uneasiness for no reason, an uneasiness that was vaguely greater than the group of evil people in front of him.

Unknowingly, Yi Shuyuan subconsciously covered his nose gently, and a smell with a strange putrid smell appeared, which became more and more clear...

Yi Shuyuan looked around. The villains around the campfire were talking and laughing without realizing it. Even Agou, who came over with a bamboo tube, showed no other reaction.
