Time Travel Adventure

Chapter 161 The Golden Pig's Story

I said that I had a stomachache and wanted to go out, and while Hongdou wasn't paying attention, I followed Jinzhu's instructions and walked in that direction, which really was the mountain. I learned my lesson this time.

After renting a horse, he kept nagging the Golden Pig on the way, "We must keep a horse after we come back, otherwise it will be too troublesome to rent one everywhere, and it will also be easy for people to know our whereabouts."

The whole way was spent on horseback riding. It was really convenient to have a horse, but renting a horse was very expensive, and if you didn't get the same horse at the same station, you had to return it.

People in this era don’t have mobile phones, so if they want to check, they really have to start from the places where horses are rented.

When we got to the bottom of the mountain, the sun was already high in the sky. I peeled off the veil in front of my eyes and saw a layer of sweat on my head. "I said, is this the place? It's so hot. If I had known it was so far, I would have brought some food with me."

This place is really farther than it looks. It looked like only an hour's journey, but it took me two hours on horseback. Maybe I was afraid that the horse would be too tired to death, so I just walked slowly afterwards.

When I reached the bottom of the mountain, I couldn't ride the horse anymore, so I simply got off, tied the horse in a secluded place, and went up the mountain by myself. The mountain looked so familiar, and the further I walked inside, the more I felt like I had seen it somewhere before.

After walking for a while, Golden Pig still didn't tell me what he wanted, "Golden Pig, what exactly are you looking for?"

When I thought Jinzhu was not there, he spoke and said he was in the wooden house. When he mentioned the wooden house, my memory was completely evoked.

I was wondering why it looked so familiar. Isn't this the place where Yaoyao took me to live for a while? It was also the place where I died for the first time. When I thought of that place, I started to back off.

My steps stopped and the instinctive fear enveloped my whole body. The Golden Pig looked at me for a long time without moving and thought that I had forgotten how to walk.

He kept saying that he knew where it was. I suddenly thought of something, "Golden Pig, how did you know that I've been to that place?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind, which made me break out in a cold sweat. Jinzhu didn't speak for a long time, and neither did I. I looked around.

I saw the tree and the broken reins on the trunk. The rope had become jagged due to being exposed to the wind and sun. Isn't this the reins of the horse that Yaoyao took me to ride before?

I seemed to have thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Did you eat anything from that horse?" When the Golden Pig heard me ask this question, he actually laughed out loud.

"You are still so smart." This sounded like a compliment, but why did it feel so eerie? I laughed awkwardly twice. Did Golden Pig confirm what I said?

"So, you sent them all away?" The golden pig suddenly appeared in front of me, still with that cute lucky doll face, but the tone in his voice was still so eerie.

Jinzhu didn't answer me, just nodded. I said, I understand that Nannan is missing, but it's been so long and I haven't even seen Xiaoyao or received a letter.

"Then what do you want?" There is nothing here, so I'm definitely not looking for anything. He must have other purposes for asking me to come here.

Jin Zhu thought about it and said with a smile, "I told you, it's that wooden house. There's what I want inside. You know the place, right?"

I curled my lips and didn't respond. I definitely knew the way. We were very close to the wooden house now. When I was looking for something to eat before, I was very familiar with this area.

I didn't know what to do, so I just obediently walked towards the wooden house. I could only take one step at a time and watch what happened. After not long I could see the shadow of the wooden house, and when I stood at the door of the wooden house.

I still felt a little strange when I saw the wooden house. After all, I hadn’t been here for such a long time, so the wooden house should be dilapidated. But now the wooden house is as neat and tidy as new, as if someone had always lived there.

I was so confused that I didn't dare to go in, but Jinzhu's urging made me enter the wooden house. There was no one in the house, and everything was in good order. The tea on the table was still warm.

The person should not have been gone for long. I looked around the house and Jinzhu said that the thing was inside the house, packed in a wooden box. I asked in confusion, there is no specific place, it should be inside the house.

Jinzhu hummed lightly and said, "I really am. It's already this late, so I might as well start searching." I began to search the house thoroughly. At first, I searched slowly for fear of being discovered by the owner of the room.

In the end, I gave up. Even if it was discovered, it was discovered. There were too many things in the room, especially the wooden boxes. I looked for at least ten wooden boxes, and none of them was the one I wanted. I started to wonder if the Golden Pig was playing tricks on me.

I was also tired, so I sat down on the stool and started to get annoyed. "No, you are kidding me. I have looked for more than a dozen wooden boxes, but none of them are mine."

I looked at the mess in the room, which formed a sharp contrast with when I first came in. Jinzhu was also puzzled. He sat next to me, holding his chin and began to think.

"Even if there is, it can't be in this room." I was eating melon seeds and talking about my theory. While eating melon seeds, I heard the sound of someone walking outside. Looking into the room, my heart began to panic.

What should I do? This guy must have mistaken me for a thief. At this moment, I quickly took out a knife and hid behind the door, thinking that when someone came in, they would be shocked when they saw the scene.

While this man was shocked, I slipped out the door and ran away. This idea was still perfect. I stood at the door and the person who pushed the door also stopped.

What happened? I looked to the side curiously and saw a shadow on the window. I seemed to know why it happened. With such a big shadow on the window, only a fool would push the door open.

I had a bad feeling, and the Golden Pig was telling me not to stand here any longer, as the man was about to draw his sword. I quickly changed my position, opened the window and pulled it hard.

There was a loud noise, and the man's knife still stabbed through the door and came in. Looking at the knife shining with silver light, I couldn't help but feel scared in my heart. I still have sequelae from that stabbing with the knife.

When I saw the knife, I wanted to keep it away from my neck. The man didn't pull out the knife, but kicked the door open. I was stunned when I saw that man. Who else could it be? It was the man who stabbed me.

Looking at the other knife in his hand, perhaps that was why he didn't pull that one out, the man walked to the window, pushed it open, and began to check carefully.
