The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 117 The Bought Child Bride (21) (Part [-])
Going north from Yunnan and Guizhou is the land of Sichuan and Shu.

There are many lofty mountains here, the mountains change like dragons and snakes swimming, the high places tower into the clouds, and the low places are gurgling streams.

In an unknown mountainous area.

Near the water flow, there are three people dressed as mountain people squatting by the river to drink water and rest.

These three people have been in this mountain forest for three or four days.

They wandered around the hills every day, and they didn't know what they were looking for.

Occasionally, a passing woodcutter passes by this place, looks at these unfamiliar people, and kindly asks them if they are lost.

But they were all prevaricated by these people looking for reasons.

After resting, these people continued their journey in the forest.

This time, they finally succeeded in finding a dilapidated temple in the mountains.

After nightfall, a few people cleaned up a clean place in the temple, set up a bonfire, and sat down to discuss things.

A middle-aged man poked the fire with a charred stick, and was the first to say, "We must hurry up, the place is near here, and only by finding something early can the commander's urgent need be solved. "

He is the leader of this gold-motivating team, and he is currently serving under Marshal Tang of the Southwest Yunnan Department.

In the past few years, the three major warlords of the Anhui, Zhili, and Feng cliques have separately occupied the three major high-ranking Guanjiang areas in the north and the three eastern provinces.

The remaining warlord leaders from the Shanxi Jin Clan, Southwest Yunnan Clan and Guangxi Clan also all had their heads beaten.

What is the hottest thing in this war?
It's money.

You can't fight a war without money. There is nothing in this world that costs more money than fighting a war.

After calling back and forth, Marshal Tang didn't have enough money in his hands. He thought about the tomb of King Shu in Sichuan, so he thought about asking the dead to borrow money to spend.

After hearing what the team leader said, another skinny man answered, "Boss, everyone wants to find something quickly. It's just that this mountain is too big, so we need some time, right?"

"That's right, in our line of work, we don't have time to find out the terrain. We have almost figured out the terrain in this area in the past few days. I think that the cemetery is probably the one we passed by yesterday. Behind the foothills."

The third person who spoke had a square face and long eyebrows.

While talking, he took out an old compass from his old cloth bag.

I saw that he moved the pointer on the compass a few times with his hands, and the pointer started to rotate automatically.

This person is trying to calculate the exact location of the tomb based on the situation obtained from the exploration in the past few days.

While calculating, he took out the pen and paper in his bag, and wrote down several nearby locations according to the five elements and eight trigrams.

There are things that can happen in any of these places.

After he calculated the location, the other two people came over to help with the calculations.

After some discussion, the three finally decided to go to the foothills they passed yesterday.

Because the calculation results of the three people all show that there is a large tomb there.

At this time, the team leader suddenly remembered something.

"I remember that in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the self-proclaimed king Zhang Xianzhong once "sinking silver at the mouth of the river". Thousands of boats of gold and silver treasures were sunk in the water by him. If we can't find the tomb of the King of Shu, we can find him The heavy silver that I got is not bad."

The skinny man continued, "I've heard of this too. There is a folk rhyme about this, saying that stone dragons are against stone tigers, gold and silver are ten thousand and five, who can see through it and buy it?" Chengdu Mansion. Tsk tsk, that's thousands of ships worth of gold and silver!"

The square-faced man also nodded and said, "The story of Jiangkou Shenyin is true. It's just that no one has figured out the meaning of the phrase 'Stone Dragon vs. Stone Tiger' for more than 200 years. Moreover, all the silver has sunk at the bottom of the river. A big ship and a group of people who are familiar with water can't salvage it at all."

The leader of the team thought about Marshal Tang's temperament. Most likely, the latter would not send people to salvage the sunken ship on the river.After all, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the exact location of the sunken ship is still unclear.

After the three were silent for a while,

The skinny man asked aloud: "Boss, when will the person who comes to pick us up arrive?"

"There should be six more days. What I told them was that we would go into the mountains to search for ten days. After ten days, no matter whether we can find the tomb or not, we will meet each other at Shihekou."

"Then what does the person who comes to pick us up look like?"

"I haven't seen it either. I heard that the man's surname was Bai, and he was a scholar who returned from studying abroad. Previously, the provincial capital of Qiangui was besieged by Tang Shuai's men. Governor Yang in the city went north again, and the remaining city The guards could not hold the territory and the city was destroyed. Later, General An in the city took the initiative to open the city gate and welcomed Tang Shuai's people. After Tang Shuai took over the provincial capital, he heard that the man named Bai was a talented person, so he promoted him He reused..."

When the leader said this, the bonfire in front of the three people suddenly flickered a few times.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of cold wind poured in from outside the ruined temple.

The wind was so evil that it blew out the bonfire that was still burning.

The three of them sat up from the ground in shock, huddled back to back and looked around them vigilantly.

The team leader asked loudly, "Who is here? Do you dare to come out to meet me? What kind of hero is a man who hides his head and shows his tail?!"

The square-faced man also said, "Your Excellency is an enemy or a friend, please come out and meet me! Maybe we are still traveling together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bonfire that had been extinguished on the ground suddenly lit up again.

This scene scared the three of them a little.

Before they realized what method the other party used, the black ashes from the firewood on the ground suddenly crawled slowly on the ground, forming four large black characters in a short while.

At that time, the flames were bright, and four big characters clearly appeared in the eyes of the three people: leave quickly.

leave quickly?
The three of them were all shocked, could it be that the mysterious person who shot just now knew their purpose of entering the mountain this time?

After the three of them looked at each other for a while, the leader suspected that he had either met a colleague or an expert who lived in seclusion here.

Presumably, his family's search in the mountains for several days must have disturbed the other party.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but asked aloud, "The three of us are disciples of Mojinmen. May I ask if your Excellency is a disciple of one of the three gates of Qianshan Gate, Xiling Gate, and Faqiu Gate?"

In the night sky, the bamboo forest outside the ruined temple was so quiet that one could hear the fluttering of birds' wings.

No one responded to the leader's words, as if the mysterious man who had just warned the three of them had already left.

The leader shouted his words again, but still did not get any response.

After the three of them looked at each other for a few more times, their backs felt sweaty.

The next day, at dawn, the three left the ruined temple and returned down the mountain along the way they had come.

According to their estimates, the people sent by Tang Shuai should arrive at Shihezikou in five or six days.

But they didn't expect that Tang Shuai attached great importance to the things buried in the mountains, so he sent his subordinate Bai Shisheng to this place with a team of nearly a hundred people.

After the three of them went down the mountain all the way, they bumped into this team.

The two sides met and confirmed each other's background, and the three members of the gold-touching team also gave Bai Shisheng a thorough understanding, saying that there were masters living in the mountains and they could not be alarmed.

After hearing this, Bai Shisheng asked in a cold voice, "A tall man? What kind of tall man? Is the tall man male or female, tall or short, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

He took over Tang Shuai's errand and ran all the way to this deep mountain and old forest, not wanting to return empty-handed.

The three of them shook their heads when they heard what he said, indicating that the expert came and went without a trace, and they had no chance to meet each other at all.

According to the meaning of these three people's words, that is, we should withdraw quickly, it is not easy to enter this mountain!
The master who never showed up may not be a real person, but maybe some mysterious existence guarding the tomb here.

Bai Shisheng didn't believe this.

He is a person who has received advanced new ideological education, how could he believe in these ghosts and ghosts?

Seeing that the three people in front of him wanted to retreat, he immediately took out the gun on his waist, and "slapped" a green bamboo beside him with a single shot.

After the gunshot fell, the bamboo also fell to the ground.

Bai Shisheng, who was in his thirties, now had an adult gloomy look on his face.

He glanced fiercely at the three of them who saw him shoot and became trembling.

"Have you all seen it? We have guns in our hands, and we have a team of hundreds of people. No matter who the opponent is, as long as our people shoot together, we can instantly turn him into a hornet's nest!"

The expressions of the three of them changed slightly after hearing his words.

Bai Shisheng continued, "I think the three of you were scared earlier because there was no one around you and no guns in your hands. But don't worry, from now on, I and the brothers behind me will protect the three of you from entering the park. Mountain. After all, whether you can find the right place depends on the guidance of the three of you."

"Tang Shuai trusted us so he entrusted us with this job. I believe you three don't want to disappoint him, right?"

After Bai Shisheng's hard and soft tactics, the three discussed in low voices for a while, and finally decided to take Bai Shisheng to the foot of the mountain to look for the big tomb.

When this group of people began to enter the mountain forest, smoke was rising from a distant bush.

In this small forest, there are two small wooden houses, surrounded by a bamboo fence.

In the yard, a young girl with cardamom was chopping firewood and cooking.

The hatchet in her hand looked blunt and heavy, but every time she struck down, dry wood half a meter high could be torn apart in an instant.

Beside the pot beside her, a girl who looked a few years older than her was cutting fresh bamboo shoots and wild boar bacon that she marinated last year with a kitchen knife.

The fat and thin bacon was continuously cut into evenly thick pieces under her knife, and the shelled fresh bamboo shoots were cut into large pieces by her hob.

On the side of the boiler, hot water in a large pot was already boiling.

The girl lifted the lid of the pot and turned the knife in her hand, only to see that all the cut meat and fresh bamboo shoots fell into the cauldron by the knife, and none of them fell.

After putting back the lid of the pot, the girl took a dry cloth and wiped her hands.

She looked at the girl who was chopping wood and said, "Xiaorong, work harder on chopping wood. When lunch is ready, you won't have any lunch until you finish chopping firewood."

The girl chopping firewood was Lin Yurong who was taken by Lin Shu to live in seclusion in the mountains.

After hearing what her sister said, she couldn't help but said with a puffy face, "Chopping wood is the most tiring. Next time I will go to chop wood, and I will leave the job of chopping wood to you!"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "That's for the next time. Now, you have to continue chopping firewood. After lunch, mother will teach us how to draw a map in the afternoon!"

As soon as she heard that she was going to study, Lin Yurong's little head drooped.

She hates studying, and the things her mother teaches are too difficult.

What about galaxies in the universe, rays of different wavelengths, the origin of matter... Her little brain can't figure out these things at all, but her sister has learned it very interestingly.

Her favorite thing is practicing martial arts!
One punch can kill a tiger!
But what mother said, there are few tigers in the mountains, so you can't just fight them casually. If there are too many tigers, they will become endangered species.

Moreover, the tiger meat is not tasty, and it is useless for them to soak any tiger bone aphrodisiac wine.

As a result, the only prey she could hunt were mountain deer, hares, pheasants and the like.

The two sisters were talking in their small courtyard when suddenly there was a burst of footsteps in the distance.

The two looked at each other and realized that someone was coming, and there were quite a few people coming.

Just when they were thinking about going to investigate the situation, Lin Shu's figure suddenly flashed in front of their eyes.

"Xiaoyan, Xiaorong, go into the house and pack up your things and follow me."

Seeing the dignified look on their mother's face, the two sisters instantly understood that the group of people who were walking towards their house must have come from bad people.

The two entered the house without saying a word, and came out after simply packing up their important things.

Before leaving the hospital, Lin Yan turned to look at the large pot of bacon and bamboo shoots that was still squatting on the stove.

She hesitated and said, "Mom, look, there is still something stewing in that pot, should we bring it?"

Lin Shu glanced at her snack, you still want to eat it at this time.

As soon as she saw the subtle eyes of her mother, Lin Yan immediately shrank her head and stopped talking.

Soon, the three left their log cabin quickly, and cleaned up the traces left by them along the way to hide their whereabouts.

It wasn't until half an hour later that a group of people in yellowed military uniforms came out of the forest.

Bai Shisheng, who was walking in the front, saw the house that was still smoking, and said with a smile, "I said why there is smoke in this mountain forest. It turns out that there are still people living here. Come on, let's go and have a look. By the way, take this place to rest your feet."

A young adjutant who was following him quickly flattered Shangguan when he heard this and said, "Sir Bai, as someone who has studied abroad, your eyesight is different from others! We people didn't notice it before. There was smoke rising here, and I almost missed this place, thanks to your sharp eyesight, Chief Bai!"

Bai Shisheng laughed a few times when he heard such low-level flattery.

Without saying anything, he led the team behind him and started walking towards the cabin.

At this time, the three Mojin school lieutenants who fell behind looked at the family from a distance, and faintly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the layout around the house.

　Back then, I was also a person who liked to read books like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tibetan Code"~

　　There may be a world of tomb robbers later, hehehe...
