Princess Against the World

Ling Luoyu patted Feng Chenglin's shoulder heavily: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you!"

Feng Chenglin rolled his eyes: "I'm not worried about me, but Puppet Mountain!"

"...Why are you worried about Puppet Mountain?"

"You're going, and I don't know what kind of trouble that place will cause you!"

"..."

——

Sanlian Mountain is actually a mountain split into three heads.

The southernmost Beiluo Mountain was occupied by Chi Palace and became the territory of Chi Palace.

Puppet Mountain is located in the far north. On the map, it seems that there are three mountains connected together. However, when Ling Luoyu and Feng Chenglin actually started walking, they realized how far apart they were.

For the sake of convenience, the two did not go directly through the mountain forest, but bypassed the town from the edge and hurried to Puppet Mountain.

The further north you go, the colder the air becomes, almost turning water into ice.

Although Ling Luoyu and Feng Chenglin didn't feel the coldness, in order to avoid people's eyes, they still found mink velvet cloaks to put on, and entered Puppet Mountain like nouveau riche.

At the foot of Puppet Mountain, seven of the ten families' houses have collapsed, and even the houses of the remaining three families are crumbling.

Looking at the people huddled in the doorway basking in the sun, Feng Chenglin frowned and glanced before and after.

"Third Young Master, have you noticed...that there's something wrong with this place?"

"What's wrong?"

"The people here... seem to be all old, weak, sick and disabled! I didn't see a single young and strong person along the way!"

"Did you find it?" Ling Luoyu raised his lips and looked at the high mountain top: "You said...where are all the strong people?"

Feng Chenglin's pupils couldn't help but shrink: "It couldn't be... that he was taken away and made into a puppet, right?"

"I don't know whether it is or not, but it should be inseparable from the Puppet Mountain above!"

Ling Luoyu lowered his eyes, reined in the reins, and gestured with his head.

"Fat man, go over and ask!"

"Okay!" Feng Chenglin got off his horse, grabbed the water bag, walked towards a group of old people, and bowed to say hello with a big smile: "How many old people are you enjoying the sun?"

Several old people glanced at him with cloudy eyes and showed no reaction.

Feng Chenglin was a little embarrassed and raised his water bag: "I'm sorry, old people, my brother and I are here to do business. We walked halfway and found that we had passed the road, and now there is no water again, and Daleng Damn it, I want to ask some elderly people for a drink of hot water!"

Several old people looked at me and I looked at you, but they still had no words.

Feng Chenglin laughed along with him and put two gold coins in front of several people with his backhand: "Of course, I can't let the old people work in vain. This is our tea money. I don't know if any of the old people can..."

Money can make the world go round.

Before Feng Chenglin finished speaking, an old man had already sat up and said: "If you want to drink hot water, you have to take two steps with me!"

"no problem!"

Feng Chenglin made a gesture to Ling Luoyu and followed the old man towards his home.

Ling Luoyu dismounted and walked around pretending to be careless, then walked towards the old people quietly.

"Old man, the weather is nice today. Is it a good day to bask in the sun?"

Several people looked sideways again, but remained silent.

Ling Luoyu understood, and when he sat down, he deliberately exposed the money bag at his waist. The "clatter" sound of the collision made the eyes of several old people instantly brighten up, and they all became energetic.
