Reborn from the Ashes: Miss Fifth Devil

"No...you're welcome." Hongzhu stuttered a little, with an expression on his face that was a little lonely, a little sad, and a little reluctant, "Master Jun, you have breakfast first. After breakfast, I will take you there. You go first

Go there and have a look, and then make a decision. This way I will have time to help you prepare some things for the road."

"Okay." Dao nodded, his eyes becoming gentler because of the apology in his heart.

After breakfast, Hongzhu took the knife out of the yard and walked out of the village.

Because there was a wound on his leg, Dao was leaning on a wooden stick. Hongzhu couldn't help but want to step forward to help him, but Dao shook his head and refused.

Hongzhu couldn't help but look a little lonely.

"It's not good for you, a girl who has not yet left the court, to support a grown man. I didn't pay attention before." Dao couldn't help but said with a gentle tone, trying to wipe away the loneliness on Hongzhu's face.

The loneliness on Hongzhu's face did not diminish at all. He lowered his head, and after walking for a while, he said in a low voice like a mosquito: "We don't have so many things to pay attention to here..."

"..." Dao smiled and said nothing.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Hongzhu took the knife and walked to a very fast river at the foot of the mountain.

"This is where I picked up Young Master Jun." Hongzhu pointed to the direction of the river. "At that time, Young Master Jun was usually in the water and half on the bank. At that time, I was coming home from the fields to make lunch.

I saw Mr. Jun lying in the water, so I asked people to carry Mr. Jun back home...".

Dao followed Hongzhu's finger and saw that the water there was relatively gentle. This should be the middle reaches of the river. Dao looked upward and found that the water flow upstream was even more rapid.

The knife followed the river network upstream, which flowed out of a narrow hole on the mountainside.

The knife's eyes flashed slightly, and this should be the same as the cliff where he fell. The entrance of the cave seemed very narrow, and he almost had to bend down to get through. It's no wonder that the officers and soldiers and Jingchu didn't find him for so long. Who would have thought that

He would rush through such a narrow cave to such an isolated village.

But, does he want to go back through this cave? If there is no injury on his body, he does not have to hesitate at all, but if he is injured, he cannot get into the water at all, and he cannot crawl forward on his back.

Dao frowned, his brows knotted.

"Hongzhu, do you know if there is a way to the other side of the mountain?" Although he didn't hold out much hope, Dao still asked with a glimmer of hope.

"...No." Hongzhu shook his head, "People in the village never go out."

Dao frowned, and then said with a hint of doubt: "Hongzhu, I have wanted to ask you a long time ago, where do you get your daily necessities, such as pots and pans? Are they all produced by yourself?

.”

Hongzhu was stunned for a moment when asked, and then said with a hint of hesitation: "...I don't know. I've had it in my family since I was born, and I don't know where my father and the villagers got it from."

After Hongzhu finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he looked at Dao: "Master Jun, I understand what you mean. What you mean is that it is impossible for people in the village not to go out at all, they just rarely go out."

"..." Dao smiled and acquiesced.

"Master Jun, that's good. I'll take you back first, and then go to the fields to ask dad." Hongzhu suggested.

Dao originally wanted to say, "I'll go with you," but then he thought that this might be related to some secrets in the village, and it was not convenient for him to listen, so he changed his mind and said, "I'll just go back by myself. You go to the fields first."
