Chapter 171 The Strange Ruined Temple
Chapter 171 The Strange Ruined Temple
It’s not like the group had never seen dead people before, but the way those people looked after death was so tragic.
Xu Feng was unusually quiet. Ever since the Xu family had Xu Ning's treasure chest, they had no worries about food and drink. Seeing the purgatory-like scene again made Xu Feng recall the first time he saw a dead person.
"Second sister, have some water." Liu Li and his men simply cleaned up the dilapidated temple. After tying up the carriage, Xu Ning and Xu Feng sat down on the ground.
Xu Feng opened the bag of water and handed it to Xu Ning instead of drinking it himself.
The ruined temple was relatively clean. Since Xu Ning didn't want to meet the people fleeing famine, he asked the treasure chest to navigate to a remote road.
Maybe some people think so too and have lived in a dilapidated temple, so the floor of the dilapidated temple is cleaner than the tattered roof.
"I'm not thirsty, you drink it." Because the mountains were densely populated with trees, it was hot and full of mosquitoes. Xu Ning didn't want to run out in the middle of the night to feed the mosquitoes, so he didn't take the water bag that Xu Feng handed over.
It seemed as if Xu Feng was waiting for Xu Ning to say this. He did not force Xu Ning to drink the water. He took the water bag and gulped down several mouthfuls.
Beside them, Pei Jiao and Liu Li were already making a fire to cook. Xu Ning turned his head and saw that the dim firelight made their faces look sallow.
It was already dark outside, and from time to time the howling of wild beasts could be heard.
Xu Ning and his group had long been accustomed to it. Even if wild beasts came, they were not afraid. It would only mean more meals and more skins.
As the night grew deeper, Xu Ning and his companions finished their dinner and huddled in the dilapidated temple, talking in low voices.
"Little Ningning, would you like to have some bear paws? Sister will make one for you!" Xu Feng was so young that he couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep. Pei Jiao half-lying beside Xu Ning, asked her in a low voice.
"Deliver this batch of grain first, and if you meet me when we come back, I'll make you a coat!" Now they are rushing to the north to sell the grain, and it will be easier to find Blind Bear when they come back in the cold weather.
"You don't want bear paws?"
"No." Xu Ning thought it was better to forget it. Many of the broken corpses on the road were killed by wild beasts in the mountains.
She really couldn't eat a beast that had eaten human flesh.
"What a pity! Bear paws are a rare delicacy." Xu Ning heard a hint of yearning in Pei Jiao's voice and smiled helplessly: "Compared to bear paws, I want to eat fish more. It would be best if we could have fish every year!"
"Pfft!" Pei Jiao suppressed her laughter and complained quietly: "Xiao Ningning, you are a money-grubber!"
Xu Ning stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Pei Jiao, "Don't speak so loudly, it's not good for the God of Wealth to hear it!"
Pei Jiao was stunned, and the corners of her mouth instantly stretched into a grin, unable to stop laughing silently.
After playing for a while, Xu Ning and Pei Jiao lay down together. Xu Ning pulled the quilt over his shoulders. He had just closed his eyes in the previous second, and heard a strange sound in the next second.
The wind outside the ruined temple blew a little harder at this time, blowing the door of the ruined temple that was about to fall off without any scruples, making a "creaking" sound.
"Bao, are there ghosts in this world?" Xu Ning suddenly realized that she had been in ancient times for more than half a year, and she had never asked the treasure chest whether there were ghosts in this world.
It’s no wonder that Xu Ning suddenly asked this question, it’s because this dilapidated temple is too weird.
"Hello player, there is no strange geomagnetic field near you." After all, the treasure chest is not a person. After its scan, it did not find any strange places around this dilapidated temple.
"But player, there is a skeleton under the ground where you are lying."
"What?" Xu Ning jumped up in fright, startling everyone around him who were about to sleep or had fallen asleep.
"What's wrong, Miss Xu? Are there bugs on the ground?"
