"The people in the mountains don't know anything else, the only thing they know is skins. We have a lot of tiger skins in our house. I beat them to death with my bare hands, but I dare not sell them because I heard later that it is against the law. Yes." Zhang Zilie's character made Lin Qiang more and more satisfied. He seemed like a cannonball, and he said everything: "People in the mountains don't know this, they only know that fighting tigers is a good man. I didn't expect that the court would not let them fight, and now they won't fight. .”

"It's all your fault. I'll arrest you one day." Tong Huan said with some worry, "I've been sleeping all day long and causing trouble, and I'm so mad at you. I don't know when—"

"There is no problem with this. Those who don't know are not guilty. I can find a way." Seeing her worry, Lin Qiang quickly said in relief.Dong Shuilian suddenly came out with a smile: "Brother Lin, let me just say that my children are ignorant, and I don't invite guests in. Come in quickly, the food and drinks are cold."

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. I'm really sorry." Zhang Zilie hurriedly invited Lin Qiang inside.

Lin Qiang walked in politely, and really wanted to have a good meal, but he was stunned when he went in and saw that the food here was really good, which greatly exceeded his expectations.What surprised him the most was that there were still vegetables to eat. He thought there were no vegetables in the mountains.

"In fact, you may still be misunderstood. You think that people here don't go out wearing animal skin clothes, right? Actually, it's not true. Every month, we will send people out to buy necessary things." Seeing through Lin Qiang's thoughts, he made Lin Qiang blush.

"Yes, I think so." Lin Qiang said frankly.He saw two bottles of Xifeng wine on the table. This kind of wine is called Qin wine and has a long history. It was handed down from the state of Qin during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, so it is only available in Shaanxi.In other words, Dong Shuilian did not lie, they did have frequent contact with the outside world.

So why wear animal skin clothes?Lin Qiang didn't ask any questions, and sat down under everyone's politeness.After exchanging pleasantries, Dong Shuilian gave up the drink: "Come on, let's have a drink!"

Lin Qiang didn't drink very much, but he couldn't give up his hospitality, and he thought that all poisons were invulnerable, so he was afraid of something.So even though he was always running his zhenqi, secretly guarding against someone's sneak attack or something, he would never guard against the poison in the food and drink, so in order to show his sincerity, he quickly raised his neck and did it.

"What is that?" Lin Qiang jumped up suddenly, and grabbed it towards the back room.

"Don't be nervous!" Dong Shuilian hurriedly stood up and shouted.But it was too late, as soon as Lin Qiang stretched out his hand, he grabbed a giant python that was thicker than his arm, because that python was holding a crying baby in its mouth. The giant python grabbed it and planned to strangle it to death.

Lin Qiang knew the habits of giant pythons, even if he was a martial artist, he would be afraid when he saw a python.But he was a special soldier in the jungle, and he used to greet this thing every day, so he didn't have any fear at all.If it wasn't for Dong Shuilian's yelling, he would have been strangled to death in one fell swoop.

"We raised it." Tong Huan screamed and dropped a plate on the ground in fright.

Lin Qiang quickly withdrew his hand and stared nervously at the giant python, he was afraid that it would retaliate against him.

"It's okay, Ah Cai, go away quickly, don't scare the guests." Li Xiaosheng waved his hand, and the giant python obediently walked away, unexpectedly ignoring Lin Qiang.

"I saw such a thing on TV. I thought it was fake. I'm really sorry. I made a misunderstanding." Lin Qiang sat down with a blushing face, picked up a glass and drank it.

"You, you are not afraid." Li Xiaosheng was afraid. He had never seen Lin Qiang before, and thought he would be frightened, because everyone in the village was afraid of his giant python.But after Lin Qiang touched it, he was calm and relaxed, as if nothing happened: "Could it be that you are also from the mountains, but the people from the mountains are also afraid?"

"I was a soldier." Lin Qiang said frankly.

"You were so fast just now. I can run, but I can't be like a ghost." Zhang Zilie grabbed a chicken leg and said in admiration while eating.

"Soldiers should be faster, after training." Lin Qiang chuckled.

"Brother Lin, let's have another drink. Is there a few words I want to ask you after drinking?"

Lin Qiang thought to himself, here it is, finally here, let's get to the point.That's what I guessed, it's a real, no-free lunch.

Lin Qiang took a sip of wine, ate something, and filled his stomach half full before saying: "Uncle, if you have anything to ask, I don't know how to be grateful for today's hospitality. In addition, I also ask you to give I'll take it out, I still have a lot of things to do outside, so I can't stay for a long time."

"I know." Dong Shuilian pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, I didn't believe Brother Lin climbed up by himself until just now. So your martial arts are so good."

"Soldiers—" Lin Qiang emphasized again.

Dong Shuilian nodded: "Actually, there are quite a few people who are good at martial arts here. I have said that self-strengthening is a trivial skill passed down from our ancestors. You should understand. But things like mountain climbing can't be done with martial arts." Yes, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Shorter ones, that's fine."

"I said high."

"How tall?" Looking at his expression, Lin Qiang felt that he had something to say.

"For example, if you can climb up, can you also climb down?!" Dong Shuilian's expression became more and more solemn: "Those people were very happy just now because they wanted something from you."

"Mountain climbing?" Lin Qiang understood a little bit.But he couldn't figure it out when he went down. The people in the mountains should all be good mountain climbers, so why did they have to wait for him to come?

"Yes." Dong Shuilian sighed in embarrassment: "Brother Lin, the people here are all honest people, if you don't want to, we won't force you. We will still send you out of the mountain, I It's just a passing word, don't mind it."

Lin Qiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Where are you talking about? I don't know anything yet. If you mind, just tell me. I will definitely do what I can, but I don't have much time."

"Then I'll make a long story short. Recently, people often go missing in the village. We checked and found that they must have fallen into a tiankeng not far ahead. We don't know how deep that tiankeng is. For hundreds of years, we We have been avoiding it and being in awe of it all the time, but there have been frequent accidents recently, so we have to go down and have a look.”

"Tiankeng!" Lin Qiang's heart shuddered. He knew the difficulty of the matter. He knew the tiankengs too well. The tiankengs formed naturally in the mountains were thousands of meters deep, and ordinary people would dare to go down.Even if he is a special soldier who is not afraid of anything, he has never had such an experience.Besides, it's okay to be idle, so why go there?Does anyone know if there are any unknown creatures in it, or something?

"That's right. That tiankeng seems to have no bottom at all. If you throw a stone down, there is no echo. None of us dare to go down. Even the rope is not so long. If it is so long, no one can climb it down." Yeah. But more than ten people have died, all near the tiankeng, and everyone suspects that there are monsters inside, so I, we—"

"Are you going to ask me to help?" Lin Qiang felt a little unhappy, and he wouldn't risk his life after a meal.It's not that he doesn't know how to repay his kindness, this matter is too nonsense.And no one has tested how much air is in the tiankeng.To be honest, there are some tiankengs in China, and some scientific expedition teams equipped with the world's most advanced technology are still wiped out after going down. Even if the army comes, they have to go around.

But he didn't immediately refuse, because he was afraid that if someone got angry and didn't lead him the way, he wouldn't be able to get out.

"What's the environment near the tiankeng?" The taller the surrounding trees without edges, the deeper the tiankeng, and the environment can be scary at a glance.

"There are tall and tall trees everywhere, which are frighteningly tall." Zhang Zilie said.

"Then why do you still get close and still die?" Lin Qiang asked suspiciously.

"Because someone heard that there is a—"

"Zilie! Don't say anything to scare people. There are no such things as ghosts in the world." Dong Shuilian hurriedly interrupted Zhang Zilie.Zhang Zilie froze for a moment, then quickly lowered his head to drink.Lin Qiang's heart skipped a beat, feeling that Zhang Zilie hadn't finished speaking, and there might be something else hidden.

"Put a rope down?" Lin Qiang said.

Dong Shuilian sighed: "Someone tried it before, but they couldn't find such a long rope. A child fell down yesterday. If someone fell down, they might be able to save a life. So we— —" He looked at Lin Qiang, but the meaning was very clear.
