The distance was indeed not far, and the carriage stopped in about an hour.

Wei Rou's drowsiness has already run away, but Gu Xi's arms are really warm, she will not be willing to withdraw for a while.

Gu Xi saw her intention, and let her go, and simply carried her out of the carriage.

Wei Rou's body was light, curled up in Gu Xi's arms like a bunch of little lambs.

Wen Qing Wu Jiang and the others kept their eyes on each other. They were used to seeing this scene, and they didn't show any surprise.

Wei Rou has also thickened her skin a lot now, leaning on Gu Xi's shoulder and squinting her eyes to look at the surrounding environment.

This is a remote village on the edge of Yongcheng.

It is said to be a village, but it is actually located in a remote small mountain depression, with only a few families sparsely located.

At a glance, there are hardly any people in sight, let alone the curling smoke.

What does this have to do with the underground city?

Wei Rou was a little puzzled, but since Gu Xi found this place, it might be useful.

Gu Xi put Wei Rou down, put his arms around her shoulders and continued walking inside.

The road here is not smooth, and it has just rained, and the ground is still a bit muddy.

The two walked slowly, and from time to time a few small animals emerged from the grass at their feet, circling Wei Rou non-stop.

Wei Rou laughed.

Hearing Wei Rou's laughter, Gu Xi followed her gaze and looked down, only to see a palm-sized squirrel jumping around Wei Rou's feet with a pine cone in its hand, stepped on a puddle inadvertently, and plunged into it. Go in, and when you come out, it has been integrated with the land, which looks extremely funny.

Gu Xi also raised the corners of his lips.

The two stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated thatched cottage.

The eaves were still dripping with water, making a rattling sound.

Everything around is extremely quiet.

Wei Rou turned her head to look at Gu Xi, only to see that he raised his hand and pressed it on the wooden door that had been in disrepair, making a creaking sound.

It seems that as long as Gu Xi exerts a little force, the door will collapse directly.

Wei Rou looked at it with some worry, but fortunately the door was still strong, and it never collapsed.

Until the sound of small footsteps came from inside.

If the surroundings were not too quiet, Wei Rou would have almost ignored the inaudible footsteps.

creak.

The wooden door was opened from the inside.

Wei Rou looked over subconsciously, and the first thing that caught her eyes was a pair of skinny hands resting on the doorknob, with traces of time left on them, shocking.

Looking up, I saw a pair of deep-set eye sockets, and the thin skin seemed to be glued to them.

Especially those eyeballs, with too much white under the eyes, it looks like it makes one's back chill.

Wei Rou took a step behind Gu Xi.

When the old man saw Wei Rou, he was puzzled for a moment, but when his eyes turned to Gu Xi beside her, he showed panic.

"boom--"

The wooden door was slammed shut.

Wei Rou touched her nose resentfully: "General, are we being rejected?"

Gu Xi didn't show any displeasure, he just stroked her head and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

He raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

When the old man came out again, he was holding a sickle in his hand, obviously very wary of Gu Xi.

Just as Gu Xi was about to speak, Wei Rou had already stepped forward to block him, greeting the old man with a smile.

"Old man, our husband and wife originally came here to relax, and we lost our way for a while, so we asked the old man to guide us."

"Relax?"

The old man was dubious. After all, this place is remote, and there are people who can relax here?

Wei Rou looked sincere.

"I...have a child in my belly, and I came out behind my back, so this..."

When she said this, Wei Rou was still stroking her lower abdomen.
