NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53 Secrets in the Mountains
"No entry allowed!"
The new Marquis Mansion was also guarded. When they saw Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao strutting over, they immediately drove them away.
"Brother Wang Dong, let's go. How can we be allowed in this Marquis Mansion?"
Huo Yuhao stood behind Wang Dong timidly and tugged on Wang Dong's sleeves.
"Yes, I took it too much for granted just now."
Wang Dong also realized at this time that even if Xue Bei brought them to Wu Di's fiefdom, the guards would not let them in so easily before seeing Xue Bei.
"Let's go."
Wang Dong clapped his hands, turned around and left with Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao quickly followed, fearing that he would be left behind by Wang Dong, "Let's go back to Teacher Xue's house. We have to prepare for dinner."
"What do you want to eat? How many years do you think Teacher Xue hasn't been back?" Wang Dong turned around and asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Huo Yuhao said stupidly.
"Teacher Xue's house is clean and there is no dust. That's because Marquis Wu may have sent someone to clean Teacher Xue's house every day. But the ingredients are different."
Wang Dong stretched out a finger, shook it, and smiled, showing his big white teeth.
“Mr.
Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong in surprise. He had never thought about so many twists and turns. When Wang Dong said this, he felt like he was suddenly awakened.
"Then shouldn't we talk to Teacher Xue more?"
"said."
Wang Dong waved his hand casually,
"I left a note for Mr. Xue, saying that we went out to play by ourselves, so don't worry about him."
"Ah... this is a bit rude..." Huo Yuhao didn't quite understand Wang Dong's approach.
"Why are you so timid?"
Wang Dong raised his brows, "It's hard to come to Beidi. Why don't you go out and play by yourself and follow Teacher Xue? Although Teacher Xue is very good, he still has a lot of things to do. He is really busy. How can he have time to worry about us?"
"Okay..." Huo Yuhao nodded.
Wang Dong took out a bag of gold soul coins from the soul guide and shook it loudly, "Forget it, if you don't come with me, then go drink the northwest wind."
After saying that, Wang Dong ran away.
Huo Yuhao looked at his savings and immediately followed him, "Even before playing, you have to eat first!"
He really doesn't have much money. If he doesn't hug Wang Dong's thick thigh tightly, he may not be able to afford food.
……
……
"As expected, there are no ingredients. Let's go out to eat."
Xue Bei and Jiang Nannan looked around the kitchen and found nothing, so Xue Bei suggested.
"But Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao are missing!" Jiang Nannan is very talented at being a sister. After seeing that her two younger brothers Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao were missing, she felt very anxious.
"Wang Dong left a note and they went out to play by themselves." Xue Bei was also ambitious.
"Teacher Xue, aren't you worried?"
Jiang Nannan asked in shock when she saw Xue Bei's seemingly taken-for-granted look.
"What am I worried about? They are all soul masters, and Wang Dong is not short of a few gold soul coins. As long as he has money, will he still be unable to live in Hanyu City?"
Xue Bei didn't think that Wang Dong would starve to death for lack of a few gold soul coins, but Huo Yuhao... was possible.
Huo Yuhao still doesn’t have much money.
"But what if someone robs her..." Jiang Nannan was too worried.
"They are soul masters."
Xue Bei said speechlessly:
"Besides, the public security in Hanyu City is not bad. Didn't you notice that you can't see beggars on the road?"
Jiang Nannan thought about it. From the time she entered the city to the old Marquis Mansion, and then left the city to Xue Bei's home, she really didn't see any beggars along the way.
Idle people in society are a source of instability for the fiefdom.
The more beggars there are, the more petty thefts there will be in the city, and the worse the public security will be.
"It seems to be true." Jiang Nannan said in surprise.
Xue Bei is still very relieved about the security in Wu Haohou Wu Di's fiefdom. "We are very short of people here, especially for some hard work. Do you dare to rob on the road? I will make you a prisoner and go mining."
"..." Jiang Nannan.
"Besides, Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao are not as familiar with each other as you are, and I am a teacher."
Xue Bei sighed and shook his head, "Students are a bit restrained in front of the teacher. They are definitely not as happy as playing with their peers, so let them go."
"Then where will they go?" Jiang Nannan asked.
"It's just walking around in the city. I won't go into the mountains."
Xue Bei and Jiang Nannan walked out of the house and locked the door.
"Inside the mountains?" Jiang Nannan looked far away from Xiaohu Park and did see some small mountains.
To be precise, the mansions of Xue Bei and Wu Di were built at the foot of the mountain.
"As long as you don't go into the mountains, there's no danger."
……
……
"Let's go hiking!"
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao's stomachs were full of food. When they came out of this small restaurant, Wang Dong found the best place to go at a glance.
"Okay, let's take a walk to eat."
Huo Yuhao didn't have any objections, and he didn't dare to have any.
The dinner just now was Wang Dong's treat. Huo Yuhao knew that he was living under someone else's roof, so he still had some emotional intelligence.
Of course, Huo Yuhao was embarrassed to refuse Wang Dong's request because it would be a disgrace to Wang Dong.
Next to the new Marquis Mansion is a mountain range.
The mountain range is not long, just a remnant, but the forest in it is also lush and green.
Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao reached the foot of the mountain in just a few steps, and then followed the path up the mountain in a circle.
The mountain is very quiet,
It was an eerie silence.
Seen from a distance, the mountains are dark green, and at first glance they are a good place to escape the summer heat.
But when Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao actually walked into the forest, they found that the trees had turned black, as if they were the minions of the evil god in ancient stories.
"Brother Wang Dong, is it really possible to walk in here? I feel a little weird."
Huo Yuhao was scared. This was determined by his strength. A first-level soul master would not dare to explore such a strange place.
Not to mention anything else, if a hundred-year-old spirit beast suddenly burst out of this place, Huo Yuhao might have to explain it here.
"It's a bit weird." Wang Dong himself was a little afraid of the unknown ahead, but with Huo Yuhao around, it was better, so Wang Dong pretended to be brave and asked: "And don't you think the mountain is too quiet?"
"Well, it's quite quiet."
At this time, Huo Yuhao could only think of going back the way he came. He did not listen carefully to what Wang Dong said and gave a perfunctory answer.
Both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong ignored it. If this was a normal mountain, you would definitely be able to climb it if you were to climb it. In the summer, you would definitely hear the chirping of birds and the chirping of cicadas. Even in winter, it would not be completely deserted. Apart from plants, you would not even see any insects.
But there are no traces of animal life here.
"You can't go ahead, so go back the way you came."
After hearing Wang Dong's decision, Huo Yuhao breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Good good!"
Wang Dong glanced at the mountain road for the last time. Some overgrown trees and spreading vines blocked the mountain road. These plants were twisted and thick, and even looked a bit ferocious and terrifying.
"There must be a secret in it."
"Well, there must be a secret."
Wang Dong suddenly turned around and found that at some point, he was blocked by a group of people wearing heavy white clothes and white masks.
"There is a price to pay for discovering secrets."
The leader, who was also the one who spoke just now, said this to Wang Dong. The man in thick white clothes behind him also picked up some crossbow-like weapons and aimed them at Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao.
"And what's the price?"
"..." Wang Dong.
"run!"
Thank you to the Heavenly Sword God for the 100 reward~
