Artifact

"Then can you guarantee that the Spirit Gathering Seed will not be used for various experiments and research, and even after Xue Ling is reborn, she will be released back to Yan Kingdom?"

This time it was Yi Qing's turn to be silent.

Indeed, in the Eastern Land Country, everything is based on the overall situation, everything is given priority to the collective, and any individual is an insignificant price, just like the queen of an ant colony will never care whether a million ants die in a battle, as long as she is alive, it means that the ant colony is alive.

Yi Qing sighed: "Then do you have a better way? We don't have the ability to go to the moon......

."

"Dad! there is a way!".

The two of them looked sideways, and saw the black cat sitting on the windowsill with a smile, licking its paws, and then there was a knock on the door.

In the no-man's land of barren mountains and mountains, I drove hundreds of kilometers without seeing a human figure, how could there be anyone?!

A chill hit, Ye Thirteen and Yi Qing stood up at that time, and listened to Hong Lian laugh again

"Dad, be kind to this person, my daughter will come in handy!".

After all, it's a cat, and the laughter that comes out of that little throat looks cold and depressing, even in a fully heated luxury RV, and it can't be said to be weird.

Night Thirteen was full of doubts, and Yi Qing cautiously opened the car door, and a cold air rushed in.

The

average annual temperature in the Changbai Mountain area is less than 10 degrees, even if there is a constant temperature system in the RV, Ye 13 and Yi Qing are also wearing autumn clothes, and it is still extremely cold.

Outside the door, there was an old man wearing a thick military coat and a military hat.

As soon as the door opened, a big dog behind the old man barked, he booed, and the barking stopped

"What are you doing? Forbidden land in the forest area, idlers are not allowed to enter!".

Yi Qing was only about a meter away from the old man, and she couldn't help but be startled, because the old man in front of her was so strange - except for the military coat and military hat that had turned mottled gray, and the old man actually carried a shotgun on his shoulder!

Dongtu is a country that regulates weapons, especially firearms, and the profession of hunter was banned decades ago, not to mention that it was not a dog that shrank behind the old man, but a wolf!

Night Thirteen was very polite: "Uncle, we are here for a self-driving trip." "

The old man raised his neck, showed his beard like the roots of an old tree, and frowned: "Why do you ??? look at your fashionable clothes...... It must be connected from a big city, right?".

Night Thirteen didn't react, but he could hear Hong Lian next to him laughing.

Yi Qing seemed to understand something, subconsciously took half a step back, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, we came here from the south...... We, we're college students!".

The old man's face was a little better, and he unceremoniously stepped into the car and looked inside

"You college students are so squeamish, this is to connect all the families? Our mountains are not as good as the city, if you run into a blind bear, you can only go to Skema's house to report - now is the season for them to hunt for fat!".

Yi Qing said: "Uncle, we can't help it, aren't we lost......

."

Before she could finish speaking, the old man snorted coldly: "It's a shame that you still know that you're lost! People college students are all going to Beiping in tandem, how can you love to drill into this deep mountain and old forest? Young man, it's just nonsense!"

At this time, Hong Lian jumped down from the windowsill and rubbed the old man's trousers.

The old man's stiff face relaxed, and he touched Honglian's head: "Yo, this girl is so handsome!"

At this moment, the gray wolf behind the old man whined, the old man turned around and glared, but the gray wolf finally held back and didn't scream.

Obviously, the gray wolf seems to know what the hell Red Burn is.

The old man said to the night thirteen:

"This is your daughter, it's weird and flattering, forget it, come with me tonight, I have two empty bunks there, you can squeeze it for the night! When the snow stops tomorrow morning, I will go back to where it came from!"

As he spoke, the old man got out of the car in a few steps, and when he stepped on the ground, he made a creaking sound, as if he were walking in the snow.

Night Thirteen, the sluggishest of the bunch, also felt that something was wrong.

Yi Qing stared at Hong Lian: "You brought the old man?"

Hong Lian licked his fur very angrily: "Of course, he wants to beat the rabbit, so I will let him see the rabbit and lead him here directly." "

Night Thirteen was more direct: "He...... It's not human, is it?".

"Dad can see it, so it must be. "

Yi Qing was even more puzzled: "What are you going to do when you invite a ghost?!".

Hong Lian smiled slightly: "Aren't we looking for Lingying Palace? Since we can't ask the land lord, we can only ask the lonely souls and wild ghosts who live here! I just don't know if Sister Yi Qing has the guts to ......

."

Before she finished speaking, Yi Qing had already put on a windbreaker and jumped out of the car: "Cut! It's just a ghost, aren't you also a ghost!".

Ye Thirteen shook his head helplessly: "Honglian, can you say hello first when you do things in the future......

".

Honglian coquettishly said: "My daughter also bumps into me occasionally, thinking that it is better not to miss this opportunity, otherwise I will have to wait for a long time!"

Night Thirteen actually didn't have anything to do with Honglian, but looking back, he had to pack up a little stuff and catch up.

In this way, an old ghost with a ghost wolf in front, Night Thirteen, Yi Qing and the black cat Red Flame behind, the mixed formation of people and ghosts went straight to the depths of the pitch-black mountain forest.

The old ghost claimed that his surname was Zhong, and everyone called him Lao Zhong.

As the name suggests, Lao Zhong's daily routine is also like a clock, exactly what time he goes to work, what time he eats, what time he walks the dog, and what time he sleeps, he doesn't need to look at his watch at all - of course, he doesn't have a watch.

Lao Zhong has been a forest keeper for more than 20 years, and since a few years ago, several tall chimneys were built in the town more than 100 kilometers away, and it is said that steel will be made, and a reinforced company of lumberjacks has been stationed in the forest.

Then, deep in the mountains, which had been quiet for many years, the loud sound of saws and motors sounded for the first time.

Although Lao Zhong also supports the construction of the country, looking at the towering trees that have been cut down one after another, he always has some bad feelings in his heart.

The gray wolf that Lao Zhong was carrying was named "Unity", and he was also found in the hollow of a downed tree.

There was a litter of five wolf cubs, three of which were crushed into meatloaf, and one of whom had a broken backbone, and who had been wailing and struggling in the shed for three whole days, died.

Only Unity was unscathed and luckily survived.

Workers all say that wolves are not dogs, they can't be raised, and they can't be raised well.

Lao Zhong didn't believe it, he treated unity like a son, except for one time when unity dragged the gasoline drum to the fire and was almost burned to death, Lao Zhong never hit it.

After that time, the Solidarity Society was far away from the oil drums and the fire, and although the taste of the fire hurt, it was not as painful as the belt of the old clock.

Old Zhong's story came to an abrupt end, and he came to a small wooden house, opened the door, and warmly beckoned everyone in.

Yi Qing walked in the front, accidentally stepped on something, "click", and a piece of white bones were exposed in the black mud!

I heard the old bell say hello to the house

"Comrades, there are college students coming!".
