It was not until the early morning of the second day that they actually entered the deep mountains and forests.

The one who changed the most was Cheng Youning. When he woke up, he went to Cheng Feng crying, "Daddy, my arm hurts so much today."

Cheng Feng glared at Cheng Youning, but still carried Cheng Youning to his horse's back. Yesterday, the child and his followers ran in the front and couldn't be called back, which made him, an old father, very angry. Only then did he understand why Wan Lianxing couldn't call him back and was also angry.

Although the team was very tired after two days of rushing, everyone became excited when they entered the woods. However, Wan Lianxing was very calm, as if he had arrived home. What was even more strange was that after more than three hours in the woods, the number of snakes gradually decreased and the rain had stopped long ago.

There was an even weirder scene. The roads they walked on all seemed to be the same, as if they had walked the same road three times. Cheng Feng pulled the reins and chose to stop. When he stopped, the people behind him also stopped. He shouted, "Uncle, what are we doing here?"

Wan Lianxing also tightened the reins and the horse stopped: "Hunting."

"Uncle, you are still acting with me. If you are really hunting, why don't your people look for prey? They are obviously looking for a way. Where are we going? I feel like I have walked this road three times. We can't go any further. Hurry up and correct the direction. We must be lost."

Cheng Feng started hunting when he was young, and he has been to more woods than the people here. It is difficult for him to get lost in the woods, and there is no woods he cannot get out of. However, this woods is too strange. It looks the same, and it feels like he is walking the same route over and over again. But when Cheng Feng found something wrong, he secretly left marks along the way. It seems that he is walking the same route over and over again, but he has not noticed the marks he left along the way, which is even more strange.

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "If I ask you to go back now, can you still find your way back?"

Cheng Feng said confidently: "If we go forward now, we can still go back. If we walk like this for a whole day, it's hard to say." At this time, Cheng Youning in Cheng Feng's arms took out the compass and shouted: "Daddy, something bad happened. The compass you gave me seems to be broken. I remember that side was east, but why is the compass pointing to south?"

Cheng Feng had already discovered that "the compass has been ineffective after one hour of entering the forest. This forest is very strange. Something is interfering with the compass. The east you just said is not east, but west. We can't move forward here. We only brought five days of dry food. Two days have passed and today is the third day. If we are trapped here for two days, we will run out of food."

Cheng Youning was scared, but he still talked to his father, "Dad, there are a lot of things to eat here. Not to mention these wild vegetables and tree bark, even these game meats won't starve us to death."

Cheng Feng said: "We are not only short of dry food, but also the torches and salt we brought are limited. We can't stay here for too long. There must be a lot of wild beasts here, and the dangers are unknown. I don't think wild beasts are the scariest here. We have to leave quickly."

"Daddy, is there anything scarier than a wild beast?" Cheng Youning gripped the reins tightly in fear, his back leaning against Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng said: "I'm afraid there are wild people here."

It was the first time that Cheng Youning heard the word "savage". His eyes widened into copper bells. "Savage?"

Wan Lianxing asked with a smile: "How do you know there are wild people here?"

"There are obvious signs of people walking here. Although they didn't leave in the past few days, there must be people walking here. It's not just one or two people, it should be a group."

"It's covered with weeds here, how do you know there are people here?"

Cheng Feng frowned, "Uncle, I can see the clues, and your people can see it too, uncle must be hiding something from me."

"Either you go back or follow me." Wan Lianxing raised the whip and the horse started to run.

Cheng Feng had no choice but to follow, and he followed for three days. When the scene appeared in front of him, Cheng Feng was stunned. There was a group of people in front of them, and they were obviously waiting for them.

It was unbelievable that someone was waiting for them in the woods.

Cheng Youning took out his slingshot and pointed it at the darkest man. He shouted, "Grandpa, is this a wild man?"

Wan Lianxing laughed, "Have you ever seen savages like us? Okay, you and your son, stop looking so defensive, we're home."

"Got home?"

The father and son were completely confused. Cheng Youning asked, "Are these family members? How come I have never seen them before? Grandpa, when did we move? Is my mother home?" Cheng Youning had been away from home for five days and he already missed his home and his mother.

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "Your mother lives in the prefectural governor's house, not in this house."

At this time, the team of people had come to greet them, and they all jumped off their horses.

"My Lord, why don't you let us go out to pick you up?"

Wan Lianxing patted the man on the shoulder and said, "With your followers here, why are you afraid that you can't get in?"

"There are a lot of snakes on the Snake Pan Ancient Road. Did you guys get bitten?"

"Is the death of five horses a loss?"

"Hahahaha, Lord Marquis, compared to others, your losses are the smallest. Compared to us, your losses are huge. We don't lose a single soldier when we go in and out."

Wan Lianxing smiled and said, "That's because you don't go out often enough."

"Well, didn't the Marquis order us to go out less? Otherwise, we would have gone out to have fun long ago."

"Are you bored in there?"

The man said, "My Lord, I can overcome everything, but there is one thing that my brothers cannot stand."

"Which one?"

"We have 20,000 people here, all of them are men. In a year, we haven't even seen a woman. We are almost like monks."

"Sui Xin, you can never be without a woman."

Sui Xin said, "My Lord, it's not that I don't have enough endurance, it's that my brothers' lives are too hard."

"Lack of food and drink?"

"No, but there is a lack of girls. They are blessed to be in your West Courtyard. The last time I went there, there were thirty or forty girls in his West Courtyard."

Wan Lianxing said: "That's just a look, don't have any evil intentions towards me."

"My Lord, how can we, the rough folks, compare with you? You don't like women, but you and your brothers can't. When can we go out to play on the street? It's okay to just enjoy the sight."

"almost."

"When? Are we going to return to your former fiefdom, or to fight back to Bianjing? The brothers have sharpened their knives long ago, waiting to vent their anger on the Marquis."

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Don't always talk about fighting and killing."
