The sloppy old man knocked the cigarette pot in his hand and led me towards the house.

"Xinxin, go kill a sheep for the guest and stew it for dinner."

The sloppy old man shouted at the little girl in the sheepfold, and then walked towards the house.

When I heard the sloppy old man yelling at the little girl to kill the sheep, I couldn't help but look surprised.

"Old man, can that girl be alone?"

"No problem. This girl Xinxin's parents passed away early, and she has been very sensible and capable since she was a child.

On weekdays, I can do everything from raising animals to cooking."

Less than seven or eight minutes later, Xinxin walked in from the door carrying a skinned and cleaned goat on his shoulders.

"Xinxin, there are still condiments bought in the county town last time in the kitchen cabinet.

It’s cold, so I’ll give the guests some mutton soup to warm them up.”

After Xinxin heard the sloppy old man's instructions, she nodded and carried the goat to the kitchen to work.

"Old man, I still don't know what to call you?"

The sloppy old man stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

"In the past, when there were people in the town, everyone called me Lao Yanguo'er. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Yanguo."

"Uncle Yanguo, the conditions in this town are so bad, why don't you consider moving out?"

I frowned and asked Lao Yanguo.

"Hey, I have stayed here for most of my life and I really can't bear to leave."

"Uncle Yanguo'er, how long have you lived here?"

"Oh, that's a long time, at least more than thirty years.

I think this small town of Kulsa was quite lively back then..."

Lao Yanguoer chatted with me all the time, listening to him talk about the past.

"Uncle Yanguo, I heard that a scientific expedition team disappeared in the small town of Kulsa more than ten years ago.

Do you know this?"

Lao Yanguo'er's palms trembled slightly, but they soon returned to normal.

"These are all just rumors. How can a scientific expedition team come to this place where birds don't shit?

Anyway, I have lived here for decades and have never heard of it. I think they are just rumors."

Lao Yanguo waved his hand and denied it directly.

"That's right. It seems like they are all rumors."

The old smoker stuffed some tobacco leaves into the smoker and took a puff.

"Little brother, you said you are from Yunzhou.

I happen to have a relative in Yunzhou who lives in Dongqiao Hutong, do you know this place?"

Dongqiao Hutong!

I pondered for two seconds and shook my head towards Lao Yanguo.

"Uncle Yanguo, actually I'm not very familiar with Yunzhou City, my family doesn't live in the city.

The place where I live is a forest farm, deep in the mountains of Daqin Mountain.

I've never heard of the place you mentioned.

However, Secretary Xiao of our forest farm is from the city, so if you ask her, you will definitely know.

If you want to visit relatives, I can contact our Party Secretary Xiao later to help you find out."

As I spoke, I looked towards the old smoke pot.

Lao Yanguo's expression didn't change much, and he waved his hand towards me with a naive smile.

"No, no...don't bother.

In fact, he is a distant relative. After so many years, he might have moved away long ago."

Unknowingly, night has fallen, and the smell of mutton comes from the kitchen.

Xinxin brought up a large basin of mutton, and also gave me a bowl of milky white mutton soup.

"It's windy and sandy here all day long, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. Let's drink a bowl of mutton soup to warm up first!"

I glanced at the fragrant mutton soup and raised my hand towards the old smoke pot.ωωw..net

"Uncle Yanguo, don't just drink it by me, you should drink it too!"

"Just drink it first. There's still a lot in the pot, so we can fill it up later.

You hurry up while it's hot, you won't be able to drink the mutton soup once it gets cold."

Lao Yanguo showed a smile on his face and waved to me repeatedly.

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

I directly picked up the soup bowl, then put it down again after putting it to my mouth.

"I almost forgot something."

I smiled faintly at Lao Yanguo, then pulled out a silver needle from my sleeve and shook it into the soup bowl.

Lao Yanguo couldn't help but frown slightly.

After the silver needle was taken out, there was still milky white mutton soup hanging on it, without any change.

"I'm sorry! It's better to be cautious when you go out. Uncle Yanguo won't be surprised!"

Lao Yanguo laughed loudly and raised his hand towards me.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, be careful in sailing the ship of ten thousand years, and beware of villains rather than gentlemen."

Can you drink it now?"

I smiled at Lao Yanguo, picked up the soup bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah... what a wonderful thing it is to drink soup. It's neither salty nor bland, and it tastes great."

As I said that, I handed the soup bowl to Xinxin with a slight smile on my face.

"How about serving me another bowl?"

Xinxin nodded and walked into the kitchen with the soup bowl in hand.

Before she could come out of the kitchen, I swayed and flopped down on the table.

"Little brother, are you okay? Little brother..."

Lao Yanguo shook his head toward me, and when he saw that I didn't respond for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Dad, is this person coming to Kunlun Ruins again?

Fortunately, I just rubbed the medicinal powder on the edge of the bowl, otherwise he would have discovered it."

Xinxin walked out of the kitchen with a lingering fear on her face.

It was obvious that her muteness was simply an act.

Lao Yanguo shook his head, a complex look flashed between his brows.

"He doesn't look like a member of the Xie Yue Sect, but he has been testing me with his words just now, and even mentioned Xiaoru.

If he is not a member of Xie Yue Sect, then who is he?"

Just when Lao Yanguo was a little confused, suddenly there was a roar of cars in the streets of the town.

"Someone's coming again!"

Xinxin glanced at me and asked, "What should he do?"

Lao Yanguo frowned slightly, pondered for two seconds, and then raised me up with his arms.

"Hide him in the cupboard first."

Xinxin heard the sound and quickly opened the cabinet door.

The two of them worked together to stuff me into the closet, and two jeeps parked on the street outside the door.

Eight figures in black robes walked into the house, with the totems of the Evil Moon Sect printed on their foreheads.

"Who are you, and why did you break into my house for no reason?"

Lao Yanguo frowned and shouted sharply at several Xie Yue Cult members.

The eight people ignored Lao Yanguo and retreated to the left and right sides respectively.

I saw three figures coming from the night.

The leader was wearing a black windbreaker and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with an evil look in his eyes.

It is none other than the leader of Xieyue Cult, Yu Cangming.

Yu Cangming was followed by a man and a woman.

The man wore a silver iron mask, and his whole body exuded a terrifying evil aura, showing no anger and self-power.

The woman has the iconic long fiery red hair. She is none other than Brahma, the elder of the Xie Yue Sect who I just met in the ghost market.

Lao Yanguo frowned, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
