Chapter 32
Xu Mu walked down the forked road, but the road became narrower as he walked.The road gets rougher the further you go.to the end.It has turned into a narrow path.

Xu Mu already realized that he was going the wrong way, but suddenly he had a stubborn temper, he insisted on walking, but he wanted to see.Where does this road lead.

God seems to want to be right with him.The road became more and more remote, and the originally clear sky suddenly changed color.The dark clouds gradually pressed down, as if they had stopped not far above their heads.The wind also picked up, and the strong wind and heavy rain fell from the sky.Xu Mu didn't even have time to find a place to hide from the rain, so he was drenched by the heavy rain.

Xu Mu saw that his whole body was completely soaked.There is simply no place to shelter from the rain.In the midst of this violent storm, he walked forward with his head held high, looking very unrestrained.

Not long after that.Suddenly a manor appeared in front of Xu Mu.

Sometimes people are like this, they tend to become extremely strong when they are in despair, but when the dawn of hope appears, they immediately become weak.

Xu Mu, who was still facing the strong wind and braving the torrential rain just now, was walking recklessly in the wind and rain. After seeing this manor, he immediately rushed over.He no longer wants to enjoy the feeling of being unrestrained in the wind and rain, and now he just wants to ask the owner of the manor for a cup of hot tea to warm his body, and he can have a shelter from the wind and rain, where he can temporarily Escape from this torrential rain.

When Xu Mu walked forward, he realized that the manor was really big and a bit exaggerated.He stood in front of the gate of the manor and looked left and right, but the high wall painted red was a hundred meters long.In this windy and stormy day, he couldn't see the end when he looked at the past.

There is a tall ancient pagoda tree inside the gate, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the tall gatehouse under his shade, and at the same time, Xu Mu can temporarily avoid the rain.

Xu Mu took a few steps forward and knocked on the door several times.Not long after, a tall and strong man about 40 years old opened the door from the inside.

The strong man stretched out his head to the door, and asked in a muffled voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Xu Mu hastily cupped his hands at him, and said: "I'm passing by here, and it's inconvenient to go on my way due to the heavy rain, please inform the owner of this manor, can I temporarily go inside the manor to avoid the rain, and ask for a cup of hot tea to drink."

The strong man glanced at Xu Mu, then opened the door with a creak, and said, "The master is not here, if you want to shelter from the rain, you can come in temporarily. But my master doesn't like outsiders entering the house. You must immediately come in after the rain stops." leave."

Xu Mu quickly said: "Okay!"

The strong man moved aside and let Xu Mu into the courtyard, then closed the gate again.Inside the gate is a corridor that leads directly to the hall inside the manor.

Entering the manor, Xu Mu was even more impressed by the vastness of the manor and the tall buildings.At the end of the corridor is a wide hall that is almost as large as a shrine. Behind the hall, several towering attics can be vaguely seen.

There is a row of houses on the left side of the corridor, which seems to be a warehouse for storing items, or a guest room for welcoming and sending.On the right is a large open space, which can accommodate more than a thousand people.This open space should be a martial arts arena, because there is also a weapon rack on one side of the open space, which is filled with all kinds of weapons, guns, swords and halberds.

When Xu Mu saw this martial arts arena, he couldn't help thinking to himself: "I didn't expect that the owner of this house is also a martial arts practitioner."

Just as Xu Mu was thinking, the strong man suddenly pointed to the first room on the left and said, "Go and rest over there, I'll get you some hot tea."

According to what the strong man said, Xu Mu walked along one side of the corridor and entered the first room in the row of houses on the left.The room is smaller than expected, and the inside is very simple. There are two single wooden beds on one side, a square table and a bench on the other side. It seems to be a gatekeeper or something, and it is a place for the servants to rest temporarily. .

It's just that Xu Mu felt a little strange that such a large manor seemed very deserted. Since he just walked into the yard, he didn't see anyone except the strong man's servant.

Not long after, the strong man opened the door and walked in.He held a food box in one hand and a stack of clothes in the other.

He put the clothes on the bed, put the food box on the table, and said with a blank expression: "There are hot tea, towels and food here, and there are clean clothes, you can change. The rain will not stop today , you can stay in this room for one night and wait until the weather is fine tomorrow before leaving.

Xu Mu hastily thanked him repeatedly.

The strong man's servant still said coldly: "My master doesn't like outsiders walking around in the manor. You'd better not walk around indiscriminately. If you want to relieve yourself, the toilet is at the back of this room, you follow the wall You can find it by walking over there. When the weather clears up tomorrow morning, please leave on your own.”

After finishing speaking, the strong man just wanted to leave, but he seemed to remember something again, stopped and said: "You don't need to take off the clothes after changing, and the remaining dry food in the food box can also be taken away. Leave."

Seeing that he was about to leave again, Xu Mu hurriedly said, "Can you introduce your master, so I can thank you in person."

The strong man's servant didn't stop at all, and walked out of the room.He just said while walking: "The master is not here, even if the master is at home, the master will not see guests. Remember, you will leave here immediately when the weather is fine tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the room without looking back.

Xu Mu felt in his heart that this family was really strange. The Ding Ken sent clothes and food, obviously the owner had already confessed, otherwise how dare he make his own claims.And this room didn't look like what he had thought before, it was a porter or a place for servants to rest, and it should have been planned early in the morning to be used by passers-by.From this point of view, the owner of this house should be very kind-hearted, but the owner just refused to reciprocate his kindness, and even refused to meet him, which is really weird.

However, there are many weird people in this world, especially those who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests like this, and their personalities are usually very weird.Otherwise, which normal person would choose to build such a large manor in such an inaccessible place, and the manor seems to be uninhabited.

As the saying goes, the guest does what the host does, since the host doesn't want to show up to meet each other, he naturally has his reasons, and Xu Mu naturally won't force it.He opened the food box and first drank a bowl of hot tea to warm up his body.Then he took off his coat, the underwear inside had been almost dried by the heat of his body, so Xu Mu just changed into the coat sent by the strong man's servant.Then he ate something indiscriminately, then lay down in bed with all his clothes on, and fell asleep on the bed.
