Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 28 The Forest of Death
"What is the Forest of Death?"

When Lu Nanzhi heard this name, he knew it was not a good place. Looking at his cousin with empty eyes, he was even more sure that this place should not be stayed for a long time.

The man chuckled, "As long as you enter the forest of death, you will be lost in the darkness forever, and you will never find an exit."

Lu Nanzhi's face suddenly turned pale. In this way, it would be even more difficult for them to leave here.

"How about it, do you want to try it?" The man hooked his fingers and smiled softly.

Shen Lanze shielded Lu Nanzhi behind him, his eyes were cold, "What do you want to do?"

The man shrugged, his eyes fell on the lifeless Lu Nansheng.

"He inhaled too much miasma in his body. If he doesn't treat it in time, Hua Tuo may not be able to recover even if he is alive." The man shook his head while sighing.

"Can you save my cousin?" A bold idea came to Lu Nanzhi's mind, maybe the person in front of him could save my cousin, otherwise why would the irritable person suddenly quiet down when he heard the sound of the flute.

The man frowned slightly, looking thoughtful, "You're a smart little girl, but why should I save you? There must be a reason."

"As long as the young master speaks, we will do our best to do it." Shen Lanze cupped his hands and said.

Lu Nanzhi also nodded in agreement.

The man thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Play three games of chess with me, how about I save people as long as you win two games?"

"Okay." Shen Lanze agreed.

Now they have no other choice, the only person who can save them is right in front of them, this opportunity cannot be missed, they can only give it a go.

"Follow me." The man turned and left first.

Shen Lanze carried Lu Nansheng on his back and followed behind him, while Lu Nanzhi whispered beside him, "How sure are you?"

"Not sure."

These words made Lu Nanzhi pause, and said with a wry smile: "Then you still dare to bet with him!"

"A dead horse is a living horse doctor." Shen Lanze replied panting, they had no other choice.

A few people walked along the path to a thatched cottage. There were many exotic flowers and herbs in the courtyard, and the fragrance was tangy.

There is a gazebo in the courtyard, under which the fish swim happily in the pond.

After the man sat down, he smiled slightly, "You come first."

"Please teach me, my lord."

Bai Zi fell first, followed by Hei Zi, and soon Shen Lanze was temporarily at a disadvantage, and it didn't take long for him to lose the battle.

"Concession." The man seemed not surprised by this result, and there was a trace of regret in his tone.

It seems that several people are destined to die here, it is really lonely without an opponent.

The sky gradually dimmed, and all the lanterns in the courtyard were lit up instantly, illuminating the dark courtyard.

In the Lu family courtyard, everyone kept looking out. Seeing that the sky was getting late and the few people hadn't come back, they couldn't help but start to worry.

"It's so late, why haven't the three of you come back?" Grandma Lu said with a frown.

"Could it be that they are too hungry, they roasted the hunting things in the mountains?"

Aunt Lu felt the displeasure of everyone's eyes, and continued to say indifferently: "Oh, you said that these children are also eating quilts when they eat. Isn't this worrying the family members?"

"Nan Sheng, Nan Zhi and Lan Ze are not such ignorant children." Uncle Lu retorted aloud.

Third Aunt Lu snorted coldly, "Of course Nan Sheng is a sensible child, but I'm afraid that Nan Zhi will be spoiled by that servant. They are still children after all. If Nan Zhi is greedy and cannot resist the temptation of others, it is not impossible. "

Lu Jinghuai looked at Third Aunt Lu with eyes full of anger, before she could speak, Grandma Lu said first, "Shut up!"

"mother……"

"That's enough. I said at the beginning that you are not allowed to mention the fact that Shen Lanze is a slave. Could it be that you think my words are deaf to your ears?" Grandma Lu snapped.

Seeing that Grandma Lu was so angry, Third Aunt Lu sat down resentfully and did not speak.

"Mom, my eldest brother and I went to the mountain to look for it. You guys are waiting for news at home." Lu Jinghuai was afraid that something would happen to the three of them.

This is not the back mountain of the village, the beasts in the woods are very dangerous.

Holding torches, Uncle Lu and Lu Jinghuai, led by Orion, went to the woods to look for the three of them.

"Nanzhi, Lanze, Nansheng!"

No matter how Uncle Lu and Lu Jinghuai yelled, there was no response. Holding the torch, Lu Jinghuai moved forward, looking at the deep forest in front of him, when he was about to lift his foot, he was caught by Orion.

"You can't get in here."

Lu Jinghuai asked in puzzlement, "Why can't I get in?"

Orion peeled away the stone tablet covered by grass, and saw that it said Forest of Death, no one is allowed to enter, otherwise there will be no return.

After Lu Jing listened to it, he became even more frightened. Could it be that these three children have entered the forest of death? What if this is the case!
Uncle Lu also pondered and sighed softly. The two of them discussed it and decided to go back first. It is possible that the three of them have already gone back.

When they returned to the courtyard, Grandma Lu hurriedly looked behind them and saw only two people coming back, she grabbed Lu Jinghuai's arm and asked, "Where's Nan Sheng? Where's Nan Zhi? Why are you two coming back?"

Uncle Lu went to the chair in a daze and sat down.

Lu Jinghuai lowered his head and said, "The three of you may have stumbled into the Forest of Death by mistake."

When Grandma Lu heard this, her eyes panicked and her breathing became short of breath, "Well, what should I do!"

"Mother, don't worry, I'll look for it with my eldest brother at dawn." Lu Jinghuai was afraid that Grandma Lu would faint in a hurry, so he comforted him without worrying about his heart.

The corner of Third Aunt Lu's mouth curled into a gloating smile. I really hope they never come back!
In the small courtyard, the second game of chess has already begun, and Shen Lanze is very cautious in every step he takes.

The man seemed a little surprised, looked at him a few times, and started playing chess seriously.

Lu Nanzhi sat on the side. Although he didn't know how to play chess, he could see that the level of the two was almost the same. Shen Lanze walked very steadily with every step, but the man was passively defending everywhere.

And every step the man took, he seemed to consider Shen Lanze's counterattack, but Shen Lanze would not easily put himself in danger every time he made a move, and would seize the man's flaws and calmly defeat him.

"Young master, I accept it."

Shen Lanze dropped the last chess piece and said with cupped hands.

The man didn't have the anger he imagined. Instead, he laughed out loud, "I thought I was defending, but in reality every chess piece I dropped fell into your trap until it was wiped out by you in one fell swoop."

"Young master's chess skills are really superb, this time I was lucky enough to win."

Shen Lanze's chess skills are very good, few people let him calculate every step, otherwise he might not win.

The third chess game started again, Shen Lanze was still careful every step of the way, but the man was pressing every step of the way.

Shen Lanze narrowed his eyes slightly and became silent.

"If you make mistakes all the time, you will lose all the games. If you think about it, you will make another move." The man showed a complacent look, and he had already decided in his heart that he would win this game of chess.

Shen Lanze is caught in a dilemma, this one is the key to winning or losing, where should he put it?

At this moment, the chess piece in his hand is like a heavy weight, and cold sweat can't help but break out on his forehead.
