Chapter 137 Flower Field

So far, conditions 1, 2, 3, and 5 have been completed without any problems.

Only condition 4 remains.

This condition 4 is quite bizarre, requiring Fang Zhixing to live in an absolutely dark space for seven days.

"Lock myself in solitary confinement?"

Fang Zhixing thought about it, and the only place that meets the condition of "absolutely dark space" is a cellar or a secret room.

"Secret rooms are mostly built by private individuals for personal use."

Fang Zhixing thought about it, and he knew of only one secret room.

The Xuanwu Pavilion in the Casting Hall, where martial arts secrets are collected.

"I can't stay in that secret room for seven days without coming out, and 'absolute darkness' means that the door must not be opened during those seven days..."

Fang Zhixing quickly killed this idea, and he was more inclined to find a secret cellar.

"Well, don't worry, let's go back to the camp first."

Fang Zhixing was in a good mood and boarded the black-sailed boat.

The boat quickly rowed to the lakeside ferry.

Fang Zhixing got off the boat, paid the boatman and the old guide, and went straight back to the camp.

Soon, he found out that there was a small village called "Xinghua Village" less than fifteen miles south of the camp.

Fang Zhixing quickly packed up and rode to the village.

Soon, a large apricot forest appeared in front of him.

After the severe winter, everything revived, and it was the season for apricot blossoms to bloom.

Walking in the apricot forest is like drifting in a pink ocean.

The apricot flowers on the trees are white and red, and the petals are moist and transparent, like drunken, with branches full of crimson.

"Look, it's pretty."

The dog jumped up happily, bit off a pink flower bud, and his mouth was full of refreshing fragrance.

Fang Zhixing rode on the horse, slowed down, and admired the beautiful scenery.

Suddenly, he raised his head and saw a beautiful and quiet village at the end of the forest path.

At the outermost edge of the village, there stands a circle of bamboo fences, with rows of fenced courtyards built inside, simple and elegant.

Each courtyard is planted with various flowers and plants, fragrant, with green vines over the fences, and green shade.

The corridors are full of green flowers and trees, and the purple and green vines half cover the walls.

This place is like a pastoral painting, full of poetic and picturesque, and full of fun.

"No way, is this Xinghua Village a paradise?"

The dog smacked his lips and was stunned.

In this turbulent and chaotic world, there is such a place far away from the hustle and bustle and beautiful as a picture. It's so rare!

Fang Zhixing frowned slightly and felt strange.

He secretly held a flying knife in his hand and approached carefully.

There is a rock outside the village.

At this moment, there is an old man with a white beard wearing a bamboo hat, leaning against the rock, crossing his legs, and smoking a dry pipe leisurely.

Fang Zhixing bowed and said, "Old man, is this Xinghua Village?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, are you here to buy flowers?"

Buy flowers?

Fang Zhixing couldn't help but shudder, and asked in surprise, "Does your Xinghua Village make a living by growing flowers?"

The old man smiled proudly and said, "The flowers grown in our Xinghua Village are well-known far and wide, all of which are precious and rare varieties. We specialize in supplying flower seeds or flowers for the gardens of major wealthy mansions."

Fang Zhixing quickly understood.

It turns out that this Xinghua Village is a flower cultivation base, and all the villagers are gardeners.

"No wonder this village is so beautiful, full of exotic flowers and plants." Xigou also suddenly realized.

Fang Zhixing asked, "Old man, I want to rent a house with a well-enclosed cellar. Is there such a house in the village?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied, "Go ask 'Hua Gu'. Go forward and walk to the deepest part of the village. The largest fenced yard is there."

Fang Zhixing thanked him and rode into the village.

A moment later, he came to the end of the road.

What came into view was a large flower field, one ridge after another.

In the middle of the flower field stood a spacious and large two-story bamboo building, filled with an antique atmosphere.

Fang Zhixing followed the scattered paths and came to the gate of the bamboo building.

"Wangwang!"

Suddenly, a big black dog rushed out and roared at Fang Zhixing and the thin dog through the fence.

The thin dog glanced at the big black dog with disdain.

Seeing this, the big black dog seemed to be enraged and barked wildly through the door.

Fang Zhixing got off his horse and noticed a bell hanging on the door. He reached out and shook it.

Dingdangdang~

The sound of the bell spread slowly.

After a while, a head popped out from the second floor of the bamboo building. It was a middle-aged woman, and she quickly shrank back.

Although Fang Zhixing only took a quick glance, he felt that the woman was graceful and radiant, and seemed to be a great beauty.

The next moment, the woman walked out of the bamboo building and came all the way to the fence gate.

"Xiaohei, stop barking."

The woman reached out and touched the dog's head.

The big black dog immediately quieted down.

Fang Zhixing looked carefully. As expected, the woman was extremely beautiful, with delicate features, a white complexion like porcelain, and a good figure.

There were faint freckles on her cheeks, adding a bit of charm.

Fang Zhixing quickly gave an evaluation in his heart, more mature than Luo Qianqian, and more wild beauty than Su Niang.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

The sun was shining brightly. The woman raised her hand and placed it across her eyebrows, taking a closer look at the tall and sturdy Fang Zhixing.

"I am Zhixing below, from Qinglin County. May I ask if my sister is Hua Gu?"

Fang Zhixing responded with a smile: "I want to rent a room with a cellar. Someone told me that there is one here."

Hua Gu was silent for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you want in the cellar?"

Fang Zhixing said bluntly: "I am a martial arts practitioner and I need an absolutely quiet place to retreat and meditate on the techniques."

Hua Gu understood, thought for a moment, and asked: "I have a cellar here, how long do you want to rent it for?"

Fang Zhixing said: "It only takes one month. I may leave early, but I will pay the rent for one month."

Hua Gu nodded, raised her hand and pointed to the east of the flower field, and said carefully: "I built several small farmhouses over there for temporarily hired flower farmers. There is a cellar next to the farmhouse, which was used for a period of time. It was used to store flower seeds and was later discarded.”

She reminded: "The cellar has not been cleaned for a long time, it is a bit dirty, and there may be rats and bugs in it."

Fang Zhixing asked: "How well sealed is the cellar? Is it leaking light?"

"That's not a problem."

Hua Gu smiled lightly and said: "The cellar is relatively stable and cannot penetrate light, water or moisture."

Fang Zhixing said with satisfaction: "Okay, I will clean it myself."

"Okay, I'll take you over to take a look."

Hua Gu opened the fence garden and walked out.

The big black dog jumped out and came to the thin dog, staring at the thin dog non-stop, whining and growling from time to time in its throat.

The thin dog rolled his eyes and ignored it.

Since becoming a dog, the thing that thin dogs hate the most is dogs!

Hua Gu took Fang Zhixing to the east.

The big black dog followed the thin dog all the way, wary and curious. From time to time, it tried to get closer to smell the thin dog's butt.

"Roar!"

The thin dog stared and barked angrily, bared its teeth and looked fierce.

"Woo~" The big black dog shrank its neck in fright, drooped its ears, and hid next to Hua Gu, trembling.

Hua Gu couldn't help but take a deep look at the thin dog and stroke the big black dog's head to show comfort.

"Is yours a dog or a wolf?" Hua Gu couldn't help but ask.

Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "He is a thin dog."

"thin……"

Hua Gu's eyes widened slightly, and she vaguely understood something. Her cheeks turned slightly red, but she didn't go into details.

Seeing this scene, Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth, immediately changed the topic, and asked casually out of curiosity: "Hua Gu, does such a large flower field belong to you?"

Hua Gu replied: "Yes, it was passed down from my grandmother."

Then he realized what was going on and sighed: "It's a mess outside and countless people are displaced, but here you are in peace and without fighting against the world. It's so good!"

Hearing this, Huagu glanced at Fang Zhixing, chuckled, and replied: "Is there a place in this world that is free from the world? Xinghua Village is not as peaceful as you think."

Fang Zhixing was startled at first, and was about to ask in detail, but Huagu suddenly quickened his pace, pointed to a row of bamboo houses in front of him and said, "Here we are, there are eight bamboo houses in total here."

Fang Zhixing took a look and saw that the bamboo houses were all empty and uninhabited. They had been cleaned inside and looked particularly neat.

Hua Gu walked to the farmhouse, bent down, reached out and lifted a bamboo cover on the ground.

Suddenly, a dark hole appeared below.

Fang Zhixing stretched his head and took a look. There was a wooden ladder under the entrance of the cave, leading to the bottom. It was nearly three meters deep, enough for a person to stand upright.

He slid down the wooden ladder and looked around.

The cellar is almost four meters long, with a layer of sand at the bottom and a layer of paste on the surrounding walls, making the surface smooth and dry.

There is no special smell in the air.

But the sunlight shining in from the entrance of the cave suddenly exposed the layers of intertwined spider webs.

Fang Zhixing raised his head and said, "Except that there are a lot of spider webs that need to be cleaned up, there is nothing else."

Hua Gu said: "Wait a moment, I will give you a broom."

soon!

All the cobwebs in the cellar were swept away.

The two agreed on the rent, and Zhixing paid it readily.

Afterwards, Hua Gu left alone with the big black dog.

Fang Zhixing squatted down, looked at the cellar, and sighed: "Oh, I only need to spend seven days in the cell."

Xigou coughed dryly and said, "Well, I don't need to go to jail with you."

Fang Zhixing squinted at Xigou, spread his hands and said, "It's up to you, but just in case, I say just in case, if I upgrade and you don't, don't blame me."

"..."

Xigou couldn't help but hesitate, gritted his teeth and said, "That's all, I've been here with you, so what if I have to endure it for another seven days."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said, "I think it's also a kind of companionship for me to stay in the cellar and for you to guard the cellar entrance outside and not let anyone open it casually, isn't it?"

Xigou thought about it and said excitedly: "Yes, I will guard..."

The next moment, he reacted suddenly, blinked and said: "Wait, you were planning to let me guard the door for you for seven days from the beginning, right?"

Fang Zhixing responded: "I have never thought about it this way. I can lock the cellar door from the inside and don't need to guard it all the time."

Xigou narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you worried about someone forcing it open from the outside?"

Fang Zhixing curled his lips and said, "If someone really wants to do this, can you and your dog stop him?"

Xigou said angrily: "Who are you looking down on? My strength sweeps across the Guanli Realm. Even if the Great Python Realm warriors come, I can still suppress them one or two."

Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Okay, then you can keep watch."

He held a water tank, jumped in, and then closed the bamboo lid.

“…”

The thin dog watched silently, and lay down bored, pressing on the bamboo cover.

The cellar was pitch black, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.

Fang Zhixing put the water tank in the corner and spread a bamboo mat on the ground.

For the next seven days, he would eat meat pills to satisfy his hunger, and drinking water was also prepared.

As for peeing and shitting, it all depends on the water tank.

The conditions are just like this, just endure it!

The first day passed quickly.

On the second day, it suddenly rained.

The thin dog had to hide in the farmhouse to avoid the rain.

This spring rain was drizzling and endless, and it lasted for three days.

After the sky cleared up, the thin dog was bored and wandered around in the garden.

The big black dog stared at him from a distance, as if he always wanted to run over to play with him.

But the thin dog had his own pride and would never play with dogs.

That evening, the thin dog was lying down to sleep, and suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves in the wind.

He looked up and saw three tall horses coming to the gate of Hua Gu's bamboo house.

There were people on the horse.

However, the distance was a bit far, so he couldn't see clearly.

The thin dog quickly lay down.

But after a while, the big black dog barked wildly, very excitedly.

The thin dog tilted his head, covered his ears, and continued to sleep.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.

The thin dog raised his head in confusion, looked carefully, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink severely.

A horse ran over in panic, with a rein behind the horse's butt.

At the end of the rein, a person's foot was wrapped around.

The person was dragged and crushed the flowers along the way.

The thin dog stood up and took a closer look. He found that the person was vomiting blood and his chest was sunken.

Then, a figure ran quickly, and it was Hua Gu.

She just stepped on her toes, jumped high, landed on the horse's back, and stabilized the frightened horse.

Then she turned over and got off the horse, walked to the man, looked down at him, raised her jade feet, and stomped hard.

Crack!

The sound of a broken spine rang in the world.

Xigou was horrified, his ears drooped, and he lay on the ground.

Hua Gu tilted her head to look at Xigou, then retracted her gaze, picked up the man's body, led the horse, and left.

Xigou watched from a distance and saw Hua Gu digging a pit in the flower field and burying the man.

After doing all this, Hua Gu wiped her sweat, suddenly turned around and walked over, all the way to Xigou.

At this moment, Xigou was panicking and called out in a hurry: "Fang Zhixing, come out quickly."

Fang Zhixing replied in a voice transmission: "What's wrong?"

Xigou could not describe the situation in front of him, and said directly: "That Hua Gu might kill me."

The next moment, Hua Gu squatted in front of Xigou, gently touched his head, and smiled: "Look at my flower field. Three more people were buried today. The soil will definitely become more fertile and can grow more beautiful flowers, right?"

Xigou lay on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to move.

After a while, Hua Gu stood up and left lightly.

Xigou let out a long breath and shouted: "Oh my god, this crazy woman almost scared me to death!"
