Just remember

Qiliu Village was originally a Tujia village. Because it is adjacent to the estuary of the river and connected to the Central Plains, it was regarded as a place for merchants from the Central Plains to and from the southwest. Over time, the village became a town, and even the architecture and style gradually changed. The taste of villages and towns in the Central Plains.

A group of 15 people walked on the street in such a mighty way, but they did not attract any attention. Most of the people on the street looked at the Central Plains, and most of them were in a hurry. .

"It's not easy to make money." Qi Zhuzhu especially can empathize with it.

The group first found an inn to settle down, and then moved freely, going to the street in twos and threes to hold a tooth festival.Some chose local dishes, some continued the Central Plains delicacies, and some just bought a steamed stuffed bun and ate it while shopping. It wasn’t until the lights came on that the Central Plains young heroes who had fully enjoyed the solidity of the soil came back one after another, and finally gathered in Hang Mingzhe’s room.

With the doors and windows closed and the candles flickering, Mr. Hang took out the topographic map of mountains and rivers, spread it out on the table carefully like a baby, and then began to point out the mountains and rivers——

"Qiliu Village is here, and Wuqi Daze is here. We will start from the west entrance of the village, then pass through here, pass here, pass here, and finally reach our destination."

The young heroes of the Central Plains looked at each other, and finally recommended Chun Jinran with their eyes, and the latter lived up to expectations and stepped forward——

"Third young master, can you tell me in detail, where are here, here, here?"

Hang Mingzhe shook his head and sighed, looking disappointed that "children can't be taught".

Bai Lang Qiu Yang Xia Hou Fu narrowed his eyes, Lin Qiao Xingfang Shulu Qingfeng clenched his saber tightly, Pei Xiaoyi Guo Pingge Shiqi touched the whip, dagger and axe, Hang Mingjun clasped his fists and prayed earnestly.

The young heroes of the Central Plains held their breath, endure!

Hang Mingzhe didn't notice it, and explained in detail in what he thought was generous: "The west entrance of the stockade is a jungle. After passing through the jungle, we will see a river. We need to take a raft down the river and enter a cave. According to Jing Wanchuan's note, as long as we follow the dark river through the cave and return to the ground, we will be able to see the Wuqi Daze!"

In view of the fact that it is really difficult to have sufficient confidence in Hang Mingzhe, Chun Jinran walked up to the table, leaned down to get closer to the topographic map of mountains and rivers, and decided to find out by himself.

There was more than one Central Plains young man who had a tacit understanding with him. In the end, the third young man of the Hang family was pushed to the periphery, and more than a dozen partners looked around the topographic map.

Hang Mingzhe curled his lips, graciously ignoring it, and sat aside to drink tea.

Soon, the young heroes knew where the third young master's confidence came from.Jing Wanchuan is worthy of being a professional ranger. The terrain map of mountains and rivers is both clear and concise. It is not like those who try to gain fame and add a bunch of dense but useless bluffing things to show their knowledge. Jing Wanchuan's map Above, there are mountains, rivers, and roads, and the route is clearly drawn, and the jungles, rivers, and caves that Hang Mingzhe said are specially marked.

However, looking at it clearly means that some things have been discarded on the topographic map. For example, after passing through the jungle, a river is drawn on the map, and then it is connected to a cave. After exiting the cave, the river continues to meander , Wuqi Daze suddenly appeared beside the river.

But after passing through the jungle, is there really only one river?To go to Wuqi Daze, can we only pass through caves?Chun Jinran felt that this should not be the case.The Wuqi Daze is not a dead corner surrounded by mountains on three sides, it only enters and exits at one mouth. On the contrary, according to the picture, its surroundings should be flat and open...

"Third Young Master," Chun Jinran was a man who would speak out when he had a problem, "Did Jing Wanchuan tell you, except for the cave side, what are the other three directions of Wuqi Daze?"

Hang Mingzhe put down his teacup and frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Chun Jinran hastily smiled friendlyly: "Third young master, don't worry too much, I just think it sounds dangerous to go into the cave by going under the river, so I want to see if I can find another way."

Hang Mingzhe tilted his head in confusion: "My husband understands the road signs so well, I think this is the safest."

The two talked on this side, and the partners on the other side also gathered around the topographic map.After watching for a while, Fang Shulu guessed: "Could it be that the three sides are inaccessible, so no roads have been opened up until now?"

After being reminded by Fang Shulu, Chun Jinran also felt it.Qiliu Village is almost the most densely populated point in this land. Even if there are local tribes in other deep mountains and old forests, they live scattered in twos and threes.

"Is there any problem with Chun Shaoxia?" Hang Mingzhe was obviously not happy that his identity as a leader was being questioned.

Chun Jinran quickly waved his hand: "It's gone at all. He listens to the command of the third young master!"

Hang Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction and smiled again.

The group stayed in the stockade for three days. They thought they had enough dry food, water and other preparations before stepping into the jungle with high spirits on a sunny morning.

It went smoothly at first, everyone was talking, laughing and having a map, full of energy and energy.But in the afternoon, a burst of torrential rain suddenly came. It didn't last long, and it didn't make them too embarrassed. However, the forest after the rain suddenly seemed to have changed its appearance.Mosquitoes from all walks of life swarmed in, and the feet turned into soft mud, and the lush branches and vines turned into tortured monsters and ghosts. If anyone didn't pay attention, Hang Sanshao and Qiu Yang fell on their faces and gnawed on the mud, and the dogs ate shit.In the evening, the temperature dropped suddenly again, so everyone finally chose an open space, lit a fire with a torch, and barely dried the clothes. They were so tired that they no longer had the mood to chat, and fell asleep.

In this way, three days passed.

Lin Zi, who was originally said to be able to go out in a day and a half, turned into an endless hell under the leadership of Young Master Hang San.But it's not appropriate to put all the blame on the idiot Third Young Master, because all the partners took topographic maps to study, but it still didn't help.Jing Wanchuan's topographic map is more marked with large routes. Like this forest, it is a small piece on the topographic map and has no guiding significance at all.What's more terrible is that the tall trees and shrubs on the front, back, left, and right sides all look the same, and you can't tell whether you are going straight forward or circling in circles.So everyone can only go by their feelings. At the end, although they didn't say anything, they were already exhausted physically and mentally.

"You said that if I quit now, will Master Xiahou be able to ask the teacher?" Qi Wanguan and Chun Jinran walked side by side in the middle of the team.

Chun Jinran wiped off his sweat, and felt pain in his feet, legs, and mosquito bites on his neck, it was extremely painful: "No, you are the one who begged for nothing. Sigh, you don't know how envious I am. you."

"Didn't you come here on your own initiative?" Qi Wanguan asked in surprise.

Chun Jinran rolled his eyes: "What are you listening to outside the window? Didn't Xiahou Zhengnan say that he appreciates my wisdom, so he insists on me coming, in case you run into an unsolvable mystery or something, Get twice the result with half the effort."

Qi Wanguan frowned: "What mystery can there be if a person digs a grave?"

"It can be said!" Chun Jinran swore that he would definitely get kicked in the head by a donkey when he promised to come here!

Qingfeng, who has been at the back of the palace, didn't know whether he heard the conversation between the two, or if he had a tacit understanding and felt it: "It really is good to be at home for a thousand days..."

Guo judged the black line: "Where can Sichuan be better, isn't it also hot and humid?"

After a slap, Qingfeng pinched the flattened mosquito corpse that landed on his arm and handed it to Guo Pan: "This is in the middle of Sichuan, there is no guarantee that there will be one in ten, and here, it's all fucking mosquitoes." Poisonous mosquito!"

Guo Pan didn't really recognize these things, but seeing Qingfeng gnashing his teeth, he felt something.

"Hang Mingzhe, how many days are left before we can leave this ghostly place?" In the first half of the journey, it can be seen that Lin Qiaoxing is not a delicate girl, on the contrary, she is quite a bit of a heroine, but no matter how heroic she is, she is still a girl , in this kind of environment where the big men can't stand it, it is already the limit to persist until now.

Hang Mingzhe himself was in a hurry, but the front, back, left and right of this jungle are the same, who knows where is where.So I pretended not to hear, and continued to walk forward.

"Hey you... ah ah ah—" Lin Qiaoxing, who originally wanted to complain a few words, suddenly screamed.

Everyone was shocked and stopped quickly.

Lin Qiaoxing froze there and didn't dare to move, her voice started to tremble: "Yes, something just tapped my shoulder..."

The friends looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak for a moment.Humid and hot jungle, exhausted, inaccessible, and nowhere to look, who can bear it when you are still in the dark and windy!

"See if it's the one on the tree?" Pei Xiaoyi suddenly called out. After driving for a few days, the man's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was still slightly cold.

Lin Qiaoxing closed her eyes and shook her head desperately: "I don't want to see—"

Miss Lin didn't dare to look at it, so Fourth Young Master Hang simply looked up for her, and quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, it's just a monkey."

Miss Lin was stunned, and everyone was also stunned. They all looked up at the same time. Sure enough, on a branch not far away, a little guy with a strange coat but definitely a monkey was looking at them obediently.

Lin Qiaoxing slumped down in the weeds, and then she was so frightened that her voice turned into tears: "I was scared to death..."

In fact, everyone knows that this outburst of emotions is not only fearful, but also tired, and there is also the torment of the past few days and the irritability that still cannot see the dawn.

But female heroes can cry, young heroes cannot.

"It's getting dark, why don't you find a place to rest." The one who said this was the only Dingchen who hadn't complained of suffering or tiredness in the past three days. In fact, his condition was not that good, and he was obviously thinner. After a circle, his originally round face almost turned into an oval face, but perhaps because of his monks, he was still calm and calm. Every time a companion couldn't control his emotions, listening to him say a few words, his mood would always calm down.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and indeed, the sun was faintly setting in the west.

Just about to set off again to find a place to spend the night, Chun Jinran suddenly caught sight of a colorful poisonous snake in the grass where Lin Qiaoxing was sitting paralyzed, spitting out a letter!

Chun Jinran felt cold all over, wanted to scream, but was afraid that Lin Qiaoxing would move wildly, but the poisonous snake was getting closer and closer, he quickly pinched the arm of Lord Qi next to him, and said in a low and hasty voice: "Snake!"

Lord Qi was pinched almost screaming, but after hearing Chun Jinran's short words, he seemed to have a heart, and immediately followed his friend's gaze, and accurately captured the unexpected guest beside Lin Qiaoxing.In the blink of an eye, the migratory locust stone has already shot!

Qi Wanguan's flying stone was truly unique, it hit the snake seven inches in the middle, and the unsuspecting poisonous snake was thrown to the ground!

Chun Jinran was overjoyed, and just about to go forward to pull Lin Qiaoxing, suddenly saw the poisonous snake jumping up again, and biting towards Lin Qiaoxing with a completely different vicious aura as if madly retaliating!

Qi Wanguan was dumbfounded, and Chun Jinran was also dumbfounded. Seeing that the fangs of the poisonous snake were about to touch Lin Qiaoxing's thin clothes, a dagger flew in the sky in a blink of an eye. It didn't cut off the snake, but just nailed the snake's head. In the field!The body and tail of the snake were still being whipped violently, but the head of the snake was already powerless!

Finally, the snake tail stopped struggling and fell back to the ground dejectedly.

Ge Shiqi stepped forward, pulled out the dagger from the ground, and then swung it vigorously, throwing the snake corpse still stuck on the tip of the dagger more than ten feet away, and then carefully retracted the dagger.

Chun Jinran hastily reminded: "There may be poison on it."

Ge Shiqi had a calm expression on his face: "It's just right, so I don't need to deliberately quench the poison."

Chun Jin was embarrassed, and then belatedly remembered the other party's business.

Hang Mingjun didn't know when he came over, he pulled Lin Qiaoxing up carefully, and then said sternly: "You walk in front, don't wander around by yourself."

Lin Qiaoxing pursed her lips, but she still listened.

Chun Jinran raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, women chased men's interlayer gauze. This was a feeling that heated up at some time, and he didn't notice it.

After such a toss, everyone felt even more tired, so they quickly found an open space under a tree and lit a fire.

As the flames burned blazingly, the dry heat gradually replaced the humid heat. After a while, it was completely dark, and the fire began to resist the sudden cold again.After a few days of adaptation, the young heroes of the Central Plains now don’t fall asleep on their heads. They usually eat hazelnuts around the campfire. , When the tension at the end of the day is slightly relieved, I will fall asleep unconsciously in fatigue.

"Ge Shaoxia, thank you for saving your life during the day."

Chun Jinran was eating dry food happily, when she heard Lin Qiaoxing's voice lightly.

Ge Shiqi was still the same, with no expression, only a faint "hmm".

Lin Qiaoxing didn't expect him to say anything, after getting along for more than a month, the fifteen partners already knew each other's temperament well.So smiling at the other party is the end of this thank you.

The landlord praying on the opposite side waited for a long time, watching Miss Lin start to sip dry food, and then realized that there is nothing wrong with me?Well, he really just wanted to drive the poison away, not kill him, but the desire to save people is always sincere.

Chun Jinran could see the sadness of Qi Zhuzhu, and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but he was too far away, and he had more energy than he wanted.

But why did Qi Wanguan suddenly sit so far away, and then the person sitting next to him was replaced by Pei Xiaoyi.

Chun Jinran sneaked a glance at the handsome man sitting next to him leaning on the tree trunk with downcast eyes and wondering what he was thinking, and couldn't figure out the ins and outs for a moment.

But soon, his attention was attracted by that curious baby Hang Mingzhe——

"Hero Guo, I've always been curious. I don't know why he prefers to grow long beards at such a young age?"

This is not only the question of Hang Mingzhe, but also the confusion of all the friends present, but Hang Sanshao's curiosity is stronger.

Guo Juan, who was poking the fire with dead branches, was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Hang Mingzhe hurriedly said: "It's fine if it's inconvenient to talk, I'm just asking casually, don't mind Guo Daxia."

"It's not inconvenient." Guo Pan threw the branch away, looked around everyone, and said a little depressed, "It's just that no one has ever asked me. I thought everyone was not curious, but I have been holding back for a long time!"

All the young heroes and black lines quickly said in unison: "We have been holding back for a long time!"

Guo Pan laughed, and his voice suddenly brightened: "Actually, I started to grow this beard when I determined to eradicate the injustice in the world. As long as there is still an injustice in the world, I will not shave this beard. When the day comes, it will truly be everywhere. Shengping, there is no more evil in the world, so I don't want this beard!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all sighed: "Brother Guo is really a hero!"

Then waited until Guo Daxia fell asleep soundly, and the friends gathered around again——

"I think he can keep this beard forever."

"I only care about how to wash at that time, stand on the stool?"

"A burly hero, bent sideways when climbing high, with long beard hanging down, rubbing his hands lightly, closing his eyes tightly, in a state of intoxication..."

"Why do you have to describe the picture in such a specific way!!!"

Chun Jinran was originally half asleep and half awake, but was completely refreshed by the beauty of this picture.He didn't join the crowd, but leaned against the tree, watching and listening neither far nor near.The hustle and bustle over the past few days always gave him a sense of despair that he was going to die and couldn't hold on anymore, but as long as the bonfire was lit, he felt that it was not so hard to bear when he saw this group of companions hurting me and teasing you.

No wonder there are always teenagers who want to wear fresh clothes and fight horses, fight swords in the rivers and lakes, Chun Jinran thought, what is attractive is not the rivers and lakes, but the friendship in the rivers and lakes.
