The old man brought a few cups of tea and said, "These are all teas that I dried myself, you guys have a taste."

Just put it in front of your eyes, the fragrance of tea will fill your nostrils, take a sip, and the sweet and mellow fragrance will linger on the tip of your tongue instantly.

"Good tea." Hanada praised.

Lan Zijun and the others also nodded.

The old man was very happy and took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to ask, young master?"

Hua Tian put down the tea bowl and asked seriously: "Old man, besides you, is there anyone living on the top of the mountain?"

A look of vigilance suddenly appeared in the old man's eyes, which was fleeting, and he returned to his smile, and said: "Besides me, there are probably only lonely ghosts left in the barren mountains and wild mountains."

Huatian caught the old man's dodging look, and didn't rush to ask, he jumped to ask: "Old man, this mountain is deserted, it is really not a place to live in peace, why do you want to go up the mountain to live alone?"

The old man picked up the tea bowl, with averted eyes, took a sip of tea, calmed down for a while before saying: "I don't like noisy, it's very quiet when I'm alone."

"Oh, is that so?" Huatian said with a slight smile, "Old man, why do you need two pairs of bowls and chopsticks if you live alone?"

Huatian looked at the wooden table beside him. Two pairs of bowls and chopsticks were placed opposite each other. The dishes were good, not something ordinary people could eat. It seemed that there was a small feast at noon.

The old man shook his head and said in admiration, "Young master has good eyesight."

Huatian said to the old man, "Old man, you may not know that hundreds of lives have been lost in Loulan City, and we found another hundred lives when we went up the mountain. How can there be thousands of dead souls before and after?" Don't make us worry."

After hearing this, the old man froze in place in astonishment.

"A thousand lives..." The old man kept repeating, living deep in the mountains and forests, he didn't know what was going on in the world.

"Old man, it is not an easy task to climb to the top of the mountain. The hundred and ten people on the mountain are destined to be done by the people in the mountain." Huatian emphasized his tone, using both soft and hard tactics, constantly impacting the old man's heart.

"This... I didn't do it, and it's even more impossible for him to do it." The old man muttered.

"Who is he?" The words were already on his lips, and Huatian pushed again, "Old man, we just want to find more clues, and we won't judge the case without evidence."

The old man sighed, it seemed that he couldn't hide it, and said to Hua Tian, ​​"It was General Yang Yi who was having dinner with me in the courtyard."

"The old general!" Huatian was surprised, what a coincidence.

The old man quickly explained: "The general doesn't come to the mountain often, let alone kill people."

"How do you know? Countless generals have been killed on the battlefield, and a thousand lives are nothing to him." Lan Zijun said mercilessly.

"Impossible, the general is not good, he is upright, and will never commit murder and bloodthirsty." The old man's face was firm, and he said to Lan Zijun with a little anger.

"You can't explain anything just by your few words." Lan Zijun said coldly.

"Without evidence, you can't arrest people at will." Not to be outdone, the old man replied.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Hua Tian broke the silence and said with a smile to the old man: "Old man, you are right. We have no evidence and cannot arrest people randomly, but the facts are right in front of us. The general has indeed gone up the mountain. We have reasons to doubt."

"But..." the old man softened his tone.

"Old man, we are not you. We don't have too much emotion for the general. We are just discussing the facts. If you really want to dispel our doubts about the general, you should tell us where he is. After the interrogation, we can really understand him." Hua Tianruan Words of persuasion, every sentence pokes the heart.

The old man was relieved at last, he let go, and said: "The general is often in the old ranch, where the Kat tribe settled down."

"The Kat tribe!" Chai Qiming suddenly realized, "No wonder I couldn't find the general, so he was there."

Huatian and the others looked at Chai Qiming in bewilderment, asking if they could speak more clearly.

Looking at several complaining eyes, Chai Qiming explained: "The Kat tribe was once one of the three major tribes in the frontier, and the Kat area where they lived was once prosperous, but later, for unknown reasons, the tribe gradually declined. Just a few years ago, it completely disappeared on the frontier."

Huatian nodded calmly, and said to the others: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain."

The harvest is not small, and the clues are connected again.

"Old man, the mountain is not very safe, why don't you go down the mountain with us." Hua Tian worried.

The old man shook his head and said: "I've been on the mountain for a long time, and I'm not used to the life in the city below the mountain. If anyone wants my life, let him come and take it."

The old man was full of spirit and fearless.

Seeing that the old man was firm and did not force him, Huatian went down the mountain with some desires.

"My lord, wait." The old man suddenly called Hua Tian.

Hanada turned her head and looked at the old man inexplicably.

The old man hurried into the room, searched for a while, and came out with a dead branch in his hand, and handed it to Huatian.

"This is..." Huatian held the dry branch, and was even more puzzled. Could it be the panacea picked by the old man?

"Old man, you are too polite." Hua Tian happily sniffed the dry branches, and there was really a scent of medicine.

The old man explained: "A few days ago, when I came back from collecting herbs, I saw a strange man on the mountain."

"Weird?" Hua Tian looked away from the dry branches, looked at the old man curiously, and asked, "What's so weird?"

"When I saw that man, the sun had already set in the west, and the night was still on the mountain. This was very strange, so I followed him secretly." The old man became more and more suspenseful, and attracted everyone's attention. He waited for the old man to continue speaking.

The old man continued: "When I came to a jungle, the man stopped suddenly, I didn't have time to stop, I hurriedly hid behind a tree, only a few steps away from him.

Taking a closer look, I was really taken aback, the man's hair was twisted into several strands, emitting a faint green light, like a few knots of ivy. "

"Qingteng!" Mentioning Qingteng, Lan Zijun was startled, and interrupted the old man's words, thinking of the Qingteng still trapped in the box, the old man's description was exactly the same as Qingteng's appearance.

"Yes, like a few knots of ivy." The old man didn't know why Lan Zijun was surprised, and continued, "The man stopped and shouted: Come out!

I thought I was exposed, and my legs were weak in fright, before I could jump out, the man suddenly threw a rattan whip from his hand, and slapped the air indiscriminately.

I was so scared that I didn't dare to come out. I hid behind the tree and watched. After slapping for a while, a powerful force hit me. The man was knocked to the ground, and I was also hit and fell down.

When I stood up again, the man was gone. The powerful force spun in the air for a while, and disappeared without a trace.

After waiting for a while, after confirming that there was no danger, I dared to go out and visit. Guess what I saw? "

The old man pretended to be mysterious.

"What did you see?" Hanada listened with gusto and asked impatiently.
