Try to rebel today

After a good deal was negotiated, the customer suddenly stopped, and the driver was very reluctant.

He didn't stop, but he stopped driving and let the horse trot by itself.

"Young man, Niutoushan is very dangerous. The locals dare not go there. Are you sure you want to go?"

Zhou Yao saw it, and frowned and smiled, making himself look more amiable, making people unable to refuse: "It's very interesting, I've seen the map, and it's just a little steeper, not as scary as the rumors, I heard Have many people died?"

"Young man has a lot of guts, so I don't know how to be afraid." The coachman clicked his tongue and frowned, disapproving, "Do you think others will lie to you? What's the use of a map? If you haven't actually walked by it, you will never." Know which beam has a hurdle and which ditch has to go around!"

"That's why I'm curious."

"Tsk, I still don't listen to persuasion. Let me tell you, the Niutoushan section has a nickname outside, it's called Ghost Sorrow! Listen, ghosts can float, and they will worry when they see it. Is it not dangerous! If you look outside from a distance, you can’t see anything, but if you get close, people you don’t know very well, you can’t get out at all, you can’t even hear a sound, you just fell off the cliff, and your body can’t be found! "

The coachman lit the dry cigarette and took two puffs: "It's so dangerous, how can there be someone familiar with the boundaries? It must be very lucky, and know how to be afraid, and dare not go deep! Just a young man like you Boy, if you go there recklessly, your life will be gone!"

"You don't know that in the early years, there was a daring bandit who used the special terrain of the cliff to seek wealth and murder. The bones at the bottom of the valley were piled up higher than a small mountain!"

Zhou Yao still smiled: "What you said is so wonderful, I want to read it even more."

The coachman smoked a pipe without even raising his eyelids: "Young boy, I don't know how deep it is."

Zhou Yao thought for a while before speaking again.

"Actually, I'm just curious. I want to take a look at it from a distance. I'm sure I'll save my life. Nothing will happen. The world is so big, and it's fate that we meet. I took your car. The business was negotiated, and I had to leave halfway. It must be wrong. This As for the car money, I am too embarrassed to ask for it. Uncle, you put me here, and keep the money well, and go back to buy something for the children at home."

No refund of the car money, and the money is earned within a short distance, so there is no need to spend that hard work!

The coachman's eyebrows trembled, and the excitement on his face was obvious.

"However," Zhou Yao said again, "uncle, you have to keep this a secret for me. Don't tell the outside world. I'm afraid that the adults in the family will worry. Also, if the uncle is familiar with Niutoushan, tell me more about the terrain. chant?"

Knowing that the money was secure, the coachman let go and slapped his thigh: "You are asking the right person! Don't think I can't do it right now, I can only pull a car for someone to earn a little money. In fact, when I was young, I was The well-known medicine tripper!"

Yao Quzi is a professional herb collector, unlike ordinary herb collectors, they specialize in looking for precious medicinal materials, and most of the precious medicinal materials grow in the mountains.In other words, only the Precious Medicine Village, which grows in the deep mountains, with cliffs and cliffs where there are few people, can it be possible not to be dug up by people and not to be harmed by wild beasts.

In the deep mountains and old forests, the cliffs, and the business of drug dealers, it is often a life-and-death struggle, which is extremely dangerous.

The coachman has been to Niutoushan many times.

"Actually, there are only the cliffs in the north and the dangerous point of Niutougou in that place, and everything else is okay, except that the trees are tall and dense, and there is fog, so you can't see the sun. You can't get out of it. It's actually very simple. I'll teach you a trick. When you get to the place where you should turn and choose the direction, you should go to your right. You can't go wrong..."

The coachman was satisfied with Zhou Yao's money, and the coachman was not stingy with his service. He talked a lot about Niutoushan's topography, terrain, and places that need attention. Before he stopped, he sent Zhou Yao to a small road.

This is the shortest and most comfortable way to go to Niutoushan.

"Listen to me, you must be right. It's okay to be curious, but don't be too extreme. Something happened, and your family is so sad!"

Zhou Yao was also lucky to meet someone who was familiar with the terrain and benefited a lot.

"Know it!"

He got out of the car with his little baggage on his back, and waved goodbye to the driver.

At the end of the first month, it is not as cold as the three or nine days.

Today is a sunny day, the sun is shining brightly, I don't feel much in the morning, but at noon, the sun is shining on my body, it is warm and very comfortable.Zhou Yao's body is no longer tense, and his hands are no longer shrinking. His face that is too pale has blood, pink and tender, very pleasant.

But halfway through the path, the view above the head changed.

Clouds of thick fog, with dense water vapor and the special smell of wet and rotting soil in the mountain forest, shrouded them with claws and claws, as if mocking and threatening those who dared to come.

All sunlight, gone.

The cold air came up almost immediately, along the soles of the feet, all the way to the top of the back and head...

Zhou Yao couldn't help trembling.

Fortunately, he walked all the way here, exercised a lot, and his body radiated warmth from the inside out, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to adapt to the sudden temperature change and would fall ill.

Whether the sky is too foggy or the trees are too tall and thick, it makes people feel bad.Zhou Yao had no other choice.

He sighed, tightened the small bundle behind his back, and continued to move forward.

At the end of the path, there are two forks, one leads to Niutougou, and the other leads to the cliff that everyone talks about.And the bottom of the cliff happened to be the deepest part of Niutougou. If someone fell, he would definitely fall into Niutougou.

Whether to go to the cliff or Niutougou, or both, Zhou Yao thought carefully.

It's a little unrealistic to go all the way, regardless of all external factors, his physical strength is also limited, it is impossible to jump over mountains and mountains like a monkey.

On the cliff is the place where the eldest prince pushed his uncle off the cliff as Shang Zhong had told him.There are rumors outside that how scary it is, but in the eyes of people who are familiar with the terrain, such as the driver, it is not a big problem.If the First Prince dared to go, he must have made enough arrangements.

The 'crime scene' that has been tampered with doesn't seem to make sense, and the conclusion drawn must be what the eldest prince wants others to think.

Moreover, it has been so long, the snow has fallen for several rounds, the wind has blown a lot, the animals do not know how many times they waved, and there may be various people chasing the Chuanguo Yuxi to check, the real traces must have disappeared long ago .

Besides, the cliff is too dangerous, he is a weak chicken who doesn't know martial arts, he should do what he can, don't put himself in it again.

What he wanted to find was the clues of his uncle, whether he had left any marks for him, not how his uncle fell...

Zhou Yao let out a breath slowly, with firm eyes and steady steps, he walked in the direction of Niutougou.

The road is difficult.

At first, it was a dirt road with some weeds. Slowly, the road narrowed and disappeared. The direction of walking into the ditch was full of various stones of different sizes. Green, smooth moss grew on the stones, slightly If you are not careful, you will slip and fall.

Zhou Yao walked nervously, with a high degree of concentration, and his eyes searched for everything that could be seen clearly within his field of vision.

After watching for a while, he will adjust and look up at the sky.

Looking up from the bottom of the ditch, the sky is just a narrow line, and even the overcast sky becomes extravagant, and if it gets darker, you can't even see such a sky.

Zhou Yao originally wanted to see the side of the cliff clearly. It is said that the reason why this mountain is called Niutou Mountain and the deep valley is called Niutougou is because the cliff goes down and Niutougou goes up. The whole side looks like the shape of a Niutou.

Now he has given up.

Such a high cliff, such a narrow ditch, how did those capable people see that the cut surface looks like a bull's head?

Zhou Yao was like this, looking for a while, resting for a while, entertaining and comforting himself, cheering up again, and continuing to search.

A long time has passed.

Zhou Yao's footsteps were as heavy as lead, but he still couldn't find anything related to his uncle.

I found the right place...

Zhou Yao did not give up and continued to move forward.

With a sound of "whoosh", a gray object suddenly jumped by his feet, which startled him a lot.After a closer look, it turned out to be a fat rabbit.

The fat rabbit seemed to be looking for food, but Zhou Yao blocked its way and almost ran into it.

Seeing the fat rabbit running away with its little butt twisting mimily, Zhou Yao suddenly missed the little black cat very much.

Leaving this time, the journey is long and dangerous. The little black cat has grown up a bit during this time, but he is still young after all. He is reluctant to let it suffer along with him, so he can only entrust it to Mr. Lai for the time being... When he arranges everything properly, he will then No more trouble, he'll come back to pick it up.

But after only a moment of separation, he began to think.

Ugh.

All kinds of melancholy were congealing in his heart, when his eyes slid across a clump of low bushes, he paused suddenly.

Rags!

Lotus blue color, very familiar!

Zhou Yao stepped forward quickly, rushing towards the bushes at the fastest speed, unsteady on his feet, and various indecent staggers of his body...all of which he didn't care about!

Tiptoe to remove the cloth strip, Zhou Yao's fingertips trembled a little.

These are the clothes on my uncle's body...the ones he wore before he disappeared, he won't admit it!

uncle……

There was a cold light in Zhou Yao's eyes.

He gritted his teeth and continued to search.

When you look in the right place, things always appear in groups.

Soon, Zhou Yao saw more cloth strips.

They were scratched by branches and stones, or torn apart by the sharp claws of wild beasts, one by one, one by one, each piece was not very big, there were mud stains on it, and the edges were pulled out, which was very ugly.

But there were no bones.

Shang Zhong had already said that the subordinates of the eldest prince's work reported back that when they found him, he was already dead and was eaten by wild beasts, which was very miserable.

When the wild beasts are hungry, they will indeed eat dead human flesh, but they cannot chew human bones, so where did the bones... go?

He walked around and saw rabbit bones, sheep bones, and small unrecognizable animal bones, but there were no human bones.

Xu Shi was so anxious that he forgot what this place was, and suddenly he lost his foot, and Zhou Yao fell forward and slid down!

"Ahhh-"

Zhou Yao quickly hugged the small burden, buried his head in front of his chest, and curled up his body as much as possible——

Huh, doesn't it hurt?

He landed on a soft meadow.

The meadow was smooth and low, and looked like the bottom of a brook when the summer rains are abundant.

Well, it's quite long.

Zhou Yao put his hand on the side and was about to stand up, but his hand was painful.

what?

He pulled something out of the grass——

The pupils of the eyes widened in an instant, it was a leg bone, a human leg bone!

This is uncle?

For a moment, Zhou Yao regretted that he hadn't read the book on the related technology of Wuzuo.With only the bones, he really couldn't tell whether it was his uncle's male or female, age, growth characteristics...

He sighed, stood up slowly, and looked around.

Because of the long smooth meadow, this place looks good, but the terrain is low, not too big, and there are trees covering it, so it is not easy to find.If I hadn't slipped and stumbled, it would probably be difficult to see.

Not far away, vines were blown by the wind, revealing the dark and dark stone wall below...

The stone wall is not light gray, but has a whitish appearance, how could it be black?

Could it be—is there a stone cave?

It's a pity that Zhou Yao has no intention of exploring now.

This leg bone... If it belonged to 'uncle', then there must be some nearby!

He took a deep breath, not knowing that he was tired or afraid of pain, and immediately walked up, slowly expanding the range.

Uncle... Please leave me some marks!

This time, Zhou Yao went a long way.

No new human bones were found, but a cave was found.

There are human footprints at the entrance of the cave, which is very messy.

In the cave, there seems to be a human voice?

Zhou Yao listened carefully, and felt something was wrong.

He didn't want to care about it, he didn't care about other things, but this wasn't on the street, this was at the bottom of a dangerous cliff, once something happened, he could easily be involved...

Zhou Yao thought for a while, observed Zhou Yao's situation again, found a strong stick, held it in his hand, and walked into the cave carefully.

Sure enough, there were people inside.

It's just that this person's condition seems to be a bit bad, lying on the stone slab, groaning from his throat, it seems to be in great pain.

Zhou Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Going forward, he saw the man's face, and the stick in his hand fell to the ground suddenly.

Feng Jiang! !

Isn't he gone!How would it appear here! !
