185 The Shadow

After returning along the same route, everyone's morale was obviously greatly hit. Chen Xiansong asked someone to find a large stone nearby to cover the hole, and then buried the dug mountain soil again. Looking at the deep pit that was filled, Chen Xiansong felt that today's incident was really incredible.

When he went up the mountain to catch wild game, he could actually find a secret passage, and there seemed to be a shocking secret hidden inside. Chen Xiansong always felt that his actions seemed to be pulled by some invisible force. This feeling was very uncomfortable. He was a natural person, not a new human, but an atheist. He never believed in things like souls, gods, and other things, but now he felt that he already felt that there were many things in this world that were unscientific.

The craftsman can fly, set fire, and throw ice hockey... This can be explained by scientific things. Those skeleton racks that can move are definitely not things that can be explained by science.

Science is dead, and there is something to burn paper.

It was already evening, and the mountain seemed a little dark. The night owls' long and short cooing sounded in the quiet mountains from time to time, and the howlings of wolves in the distance came one after another. When it was night, the forest was the world of lone wolf. If three or five ordinary adults dared to go up the mountain, they would probably be torn to pieces by groups of lone wolf.

Chen Xiansong's team has more than 20 people, each of them is good at strength, so he is naturally not afraid of the lone wolf pack. However, walking in such a quiet and dark forest, listening to the croaking of night owls from time to time, makes people feel a little gloomy and fearful. Chen Xiansong doesn't have much feeling. He is just thinking about whether his feelings are correct. He feels that he has been "remotely" manipulated, but the external atheistic education makes him feel that this is impossible.

The teacher was not in charge of his subordinates, and the students seemed not much better. The little guy lay on Chen Xiansong's back, looking sick. After coming out of the secret passage, she became like this, as if the conversation with the skeletons had consumed most of her physical strength.

Back in the town... Chen Xiansong found that every household had already prepared for a long journey. There were ox carts and horse carriages everywhere on the streets, and there were salutes piled up on them. After Chen Xiansong returned to the town, many women watching at the entrance of the town breathed a sigh of relief, and then they dispersed and went home to prepare.

Originally, Udir planned to set off in the evening, but because Chen Xiansong was "playing wild game" on the mountain, he asked his subordinates to inform Jaina and told them that the time for escorts might be delayed. This made the women in the town very nervous, afraid that these two soul-thinking people would change their minds, and they were eager to leave the place and find a town with men to live.

After returning to the hotel, Udir was resting in the hall. He saw Chen Xiansong coming back. He took away some mercenaries around him and asked, "Child, what have you found on the mountain? Can you tell me about it with the teacher?"

"There is nothing to say." Chen Xiansong sat down, took a sip of water, and told his experience on the mountain in detail. Of course, he hid the little guy's more personal things about alien literature. He just said that they accidentally opened the door mechanism.

After hearing Chen Xiansong's experience, Udir's brows became more and more frowning. The giant skeletons reminded him of what happened in Qingxi City, and this place was not far from Qingxi City. The man disappeared, secret passages, giant skeletons, and imprisoned men seemed to have no connection at all, but Udir believed that there must be a line that connected these things. It's just that they can't find this line for the time being.

"Child, hurry up and eat something, we will set off later." Through the hotel gate, Udir looked at the mountains outside the town. At this time, the sun had completely disappeared from the horizon. The mountains could only barely see a contour in the dark night, gloomy, like the backs of giant beasts. He said slowly: "Since there are things we don't know in the mountains, it's safer to leave here earlier."

After Udir said this, he asked his subordinates to go out and notify Jaina, so that she could be prepared at any time.

Chen Xiansong nodded. In his sight, many purple lines were constantly emerging from Udir's body. Seeing this, he suddenly remembered that these lines appeared on the skeletons on the mountain. Could it be that the soul-thinking person has anything to do with those aliens? After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this guess was really a bit whimsical, so he threw it aside.

The little guy sat next to Chen Xiansong, with a bowl of noodles in front of her eyes. If it were normal, she would have let go of her belly and ate it in big mouthfuls, but at this time she just swallowed it slowly for a few seconds and then put down the chopsticks in her hand.

"What's wrong, Xis, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Xiansong finally found the little guy's abnormality after eating halfway through. He touched the other person's forehead. The temperature was normal, not as if he was feeling uncomfortable. However, he thought that Xis is now a girl and is moving towards a woman's stage. Both psychological and physiological changes have changed. It is very normal for him to have some emotional disorders occasionally. At this time, it is really inconvenient for him, a big man, and he has no experience. It is the best choice to let her mother Katherine take care of her.

After eating the noodles, it became a little late. At this time, Catherine just came down from the second floor. Chen Xiansong immediately stepped forward and roughly told what happened today, and then asked her to pay attention to the little guy and take good care of him.

Hearing this, Catherine smiled: "Your Excellency, Seth is my daughter. It is natural for me to take care of her. Why do you need to come and ask?"

Chen Xiansong blushed a little, feeling that he was indeed a little inappropriate. In front of a mother, he asked her to take good care of her daughter. The subtext of this mother accusing her of not fulfilling her obligations. He shrugged: "Sorry, I'm saying the wrong thing, don't be surprised."

"Don't worry, sir, I know you don't mean that." Catherine smiled slightly. As a woman who is only twenty-nine years old, she looks very good. She is worthy of being the little guy's mother. She smiles very well and gives people a sense of virtuousness.

There are many kinds of women who distinguish according to their personality. There is no doubt that Catherine is definitely a gentle woman, and then the little guy is a naughty little magical woman, Ruth is a lively type, and as for Xiao Min, she is also a gentle type. This is Chen Xiansong's personal opinion. If you say it out, most people will agree with his evaluation of the first three, but they will reserve their opinions on Bai Min's evaluation in the end.

Catherine thanked Chen Xiansong for caring for his daughter so much, and then went to take care of the little guy.

Ruth walked down from the second floor with a big bag. She is now a maid, so she naturally has more work to do, but it is all work that ordinary girls can do. The heavy and hard work is naturally done by big men like Balph. She was sweating on her forehead. When she saw her master from the stairs, she suddenly became happy and quickly went down the stairs. She walked to Chen Xiansong, squinted and smiled: "Master, you are back, can we set off?"

There is a reason why Ruth is so happy. After passing Qingxi City, it is Heiyan City, where Chen Xiansong's territory and the Graystone Village are. For her now, it will be her home in the future. When she is going home, she will naturally be happy.

…………

After more than an hour of delay, the convoy finally set off again. This time, in addition to more than one hundred mercenaries, more than three hundred women were accompanied. The mercenaries were very excited. They inquired that these women were going to settle in Udir's territory, that is, they wanted to go back with them.

For them, this is a great thing. The profession of mercenaries is neither high nor low, and its status is better than that of civilians, but it is far behind that of nobles and merchants. In addition, most mercenaries work hard outside for many years and can save enough money and survive until the day of marriage.

But now there are more than 300 more women, and in fact, a large part of them are widows who are escorted all the way and spent together day and night. As long as you perform better, you can always be able to hold a beautiful woman. There is absolutely no second chance in life, and a fool will not seize it.

It is very hard to travel at night, but fortunately, there are many horse-drawn carriages and ox carts in the town. Young and weak women have sat on the carriages. Women who work all year round and have good physical fitness are walking on the ground like mercenaries. These women are also the main targets of mercenaries... For those who are poor like them, they naturally have to be able to work, and they are the kind of people who can do heavy work. Of course, they also like soft and beautiful women, but the reality is right in front of them. They have no money. If they marry another woman who cannot work, it will only be a burden.

Hurrying at night does not mean that you have to travel all night. When you walked out of the town for more than 30 kilometers and approached Qingxi City, Udir asked someone to find a flat land on the side of the road to camp. Because he knew that he was going to walk at night, Jaina specially asked the women to bring camping tents. The mercenaries collected many dead branches and leaves, and lit many fires around the camp to drive away wild animals and mosquitoes.

Many women cannot sleep and sit around the fire and chat. Most of their topics are centered around men. Just from these fires, they seem to feel the sense of security of having men around them.

After running on the mountain for a day, Chen Xiansong was very tired and quickly fell asleep with Xiaomin in his arms. He didn't know how long he had slept. He heard a very noisy sound in a daze, and then woke up.

The outside of the tent was very bright, it should have been early in the morning.

Sitting on the blanket, he was stunned. When he was sleepy and almost awake, he stood up and found that Bai Min was not by his side. He lifted the curtain and walked to the outside of the tent and found that the situation outside was a bit strange. A large number of people were gathered in the middle of the camp. He walked over and everyone nodded to him and made way for a passage.

Next to a fire that had been extinguished, a mercenary was lying on the ground... and Bai Min squatted aside, as if checking something.

"What happened?" Chen Xiansong asked.
