"Set off!"
After the team had eaten their rations, drunk some water and rested, Jiang Xianyu gave the order.
She carried a greatsword on her back, leading the way, followed by a huge team.
Everyone walked forward silently, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
The dangerous place of Guitongling may be the easiest or the most difficult, because it depends on what game Guitong chooses to play.
Xu Lian and Xiao Xixi were still following at the end of the team.
"Haha, haha, someone is coming."
"Wow, there are so many brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts. Let's play games with them."...
A child's voice like a silver bell was heard.
Everyone tensed up and immediately stopped, looking in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a group of children appearing from nowhere on the hillside.
Some were holding hands, some were jumping around, looking very cute.
However, people did not find them cute, instead they felt their hair stand on end, because each of these children had a pale face, wore brightly colored clothes, and had black air coming out of their bodies, and they looked abnormal at first glance.
In fact, it’s not normal either... Can a ghost child be normal
This group of strange children didn't seem to be walking very fast, but they disappeared and reappeared suddenly, and they were in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
"Brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts, can you play games with us?"...
The little ones are quite polite.
Jiang Xianyu said, "Of course."
Zhou Xin quickly said, "Okay."
Old Man Yun said, "Okay."
The guards and drivers of the caravan, as well as the people following the team, all said "yes".
When Xu Lian plays with Xiao, of course he has to say "yes".
On the surface it is an inquiry, but in fact it is an order. If you don’t play, you will die. Who dares to refuse
“It’s so fun to have so many people playing games together.”
"Brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts, you are so kind."...
The strange children laughed happily and clapped their hands.
Everyone was silent, praying in their hearts that the game would not be too difficult.
The weird kids gathered together, chattering and discussing what games to play.
In the end, three types were selected: hide-and-seek, peach pit hunting, and playing house.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed.
Xu Lian noticed everyone's reaction and quietly asked Xiao Xixi, "Are these three games difficult?"
Xiao Xixi looked solemn and said softly, "Hide and seek and peach pit game are both games where death is a possibility, especially hide and seek, the mortality rate is very high. Playing house means that a man and a woman must get married, and even if they leave here, it cannot be ignored. The wedding must be completed within a hundred days, otherwise, even if they escape to a faraway place, the ghost child will find them."
Xu Lian frowned when he heard this. What if Xiao Xixi was assigned to another man
As if seeing his worry, Xiao said jokingly, "Xu Lang, don't worry. We are already together and are a de facto couple. According to the rules, we will not be assigned to be with others.
Moreover, the ghost child will not make random appointments. It is very spiritual and the man and woman it designates are actually a good match.
Some men and women who are seeking marriage will come here specifically to find the most suitable partner. "
Xu Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel relieved now."
Xiao Xixi pointed at Zhou Xin who was standing next to Jiang Xianyu. "That Mr. Zhou, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has feelings for Jiang Xianyu. He must have come here just to let Gui Tong choose between him and Jiang Xianyu. This way, Jiang Xianyu won't be able to refuse him."
Xu Lian glanced at Zhou Xin and saw that he was indeed very excited, with his eyes full of anticipation.
Xu Lian asked curiously, "I have heard that the Zhou family is a wealthy family in Pingyang County, but what is the origin of Jiang Xianyu? Pingyang County does not seem to have a large family like the Jiang family. If it is a small family, it is unlikely to cultivate a talented woman like Jiang Xianyu."
Xiao Xixi said, "This Jiang Xianyu is not simple. I heard that she is not from Pingyang County, but from a big family in Taizhou Prefecture. The Jiang family arranged many blind dates for her, but she was not satisfied with any of them. So she decided to lead this caravan and go through Pingyang County and Yuanfu County. The purpose is also to let Guitong find a destined Taoist partner for her.
But she has been walking this road for more than three years. She has gone back and forth from Guitong Ridge dozens of times, if not a hundred times. She has also encountered it many times in the game of playing house, but Guitong still has not designated a destined Taoist companion for her. "
Xu Lian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that such a talented woman was willing to lead this caravan. This turned out to be her purpose.
Xiao said jokingly, "Except for that Mr. Zhou, these elite guards are following Jiang Xianyu wholeheartedly. Besides the high remuneration, they may have some little thoughts. I guess they all have some extravagant hopes that if they are designated as Jiang Xianyu's destined Taoist partner by Gui Tong, they will not only get to marry her, but also be trained by the Jiang family, a big family in Taizhou Prefecture, and thus rise to prominence."
Xu Lian nodded, "I guess these men who followed the team also have the same idea, right?"
"I don't know what these people are doing in Yuanfu County, but I'm sure they have this idea. Which man doesn't want to become the son-in-law of a big family in the provincial capital?"
Xiao Xixi glanced at Xu Lian and chuckled, "It's a pity that Xu Lang and I are already together, which doesn't conform to the specified rules, otherwise Xu Lang would have a chance.
Moreover, Xu Lang is young and strong, and like Jiang Xianyu, he is a young talent. You definitely have the greatest chance of being selected in this team. Now that it is impossible for you, Zhou Xin has the greatest chance."
"I'll let it go."
Xu Lian shook his head.
He only cares about favorability and has no interest in clinging to the big families in Taizhou Prefecture.
"Are you ready, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts?"
"The first game we're going to play is hide and seek. The range is this mountain. You must hide well."
"We're starting to count, and we'll start looking for you when we reach 100."...
The strange children formed a circle, blindfolded themselves consciously, and began to count with laughter.
"one."
"two."
"three."...
Everyone felt their scalps tingling and they scattered in all directions as if their butts were on fire, looking for a secluded place to hide.
Xu Lian pulled Xiao and ran playfully.
While running, I was thinking, where is the best place to hide
On the tree
It doesn't feel right.
Cave
It also feels unsafe.
"With the terrifying strength of the ghost children, it is easy to find them no matter where they hide."
Xu Lian frowned and asked Xiao Xixi, "Have you thought of a place to hide?"
Xiao said playfully, "The most important thing about hide-and-seek is not where you hide, but how lucky you are."
"Fuyuan?" Xu Lian was surprised.
Xiao said jokingly, "The Guitong arrests people according to their fortune. People with deep fortune can hide anywhere and they won't be caught; people with shallow fortune will be caught no matter how well they hide.
Of course, if you don't hide and appear in front of Gui Tong, it will anger Gui Tong, and even the most blessed person will be caught."
Xu Lian understood, so he found a tree hole and hid in it with Xiao Xixi.
at this time.
The ghost boy counted and had already counted to over sixty, and was about to start catching people.
