[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

The woman was stunned, she lowered her eyelids and looked at the ground, as if she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know whether she should listen to what the man in front of her said.

"Did you know that the emperor has come here in person to tour the south?" Wang Ren asked.

The woman looked up at him in astonishment.

"The countryside in that area was submerged, and the people were displaced. I went to the countryside with brother thirteen to investigate, and found that it was not suitable for people to live in. So, I came out this time to find a geomantic treasure that would not be submerged by the flood." Wang Rendao.

The woman opened her mouth in astonishment, and whispered: "Then... are you going to let us go and let us go with you?"

Wang Ren nodded, then shook his head again: "Of course we will let you go, but whether you want to go with us or not is up to you."

The woman rubbed her fingers and said in a low voice: "I want to discuss with our head of the family. I have no control over this matter."

Wang Ren nodded, turned back and smiled at Yinxiang: "How?"

"Can you make sure that there is the geomantic treasure land you mentioned? Moreover, even if it is a treasure land, if there is nothing there, you will still starve if you go there."

"I'm not sure." Wang Ren said, "But those people... don't look like they would starve to death at this time."

Yinxiang: ...

Can you rely on some credits? !

The woman and the men who were released whispered for a while, and finally a leading man came over and knelt down in front of the two of them with a plop: "The boy is ignorant, and he offended the nobleman. I hope the nobleman is not to blame."

"It's okay." Yinxiang said.

"The boys discussed it, and I think it's better to follow you. Anyway... I'm going to starve to death here anyway, so it's better to fight. However, there are still a few cubs in the nest, so it's okay for the boys to starve to death." , I just beg you, if the boys can’t hold on any longer, take those little brats and give them a bite to eat, so they don’t starve to death. It’s their good fortune to treat you like a cow or a horse in the future!”

Yinxiang nodded: "Bring them all, but the way up the mountain is always difficult, so be careful."

The man touched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Well...you are going to climb this mountain, right? The boy will guide you, and you will pass by the boy's nest on the way up the mountain, so take them all with you."

Seeing that neither Yinxiang nor Wang Ren spoke, the man felt even more embarrassed, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can bring them here..."

"Go, lead the way." Yinxiang said.

The man froze for a moment, then said pleasantly, "Okay!"

After speaking, he got up loudly, without even having time to pat the dirt on his body, shouted at those people a few times, and set off towards the mountain with Yin Xiang and Wang Ren.

Abandoned the carriage, stuffed everything into the package, and packed lightly.

Even so, there is no mountain road on this mountain, and walking is always quite inconvenient.

"Even if you can live there, how will you leave this mountain?" Yinxiang said while climbing up, "Do you really want to be isolated from the world?"

"There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for a boat when it reaches the bridge." Wang Ren said, "Let's see and talk."

Before reaching the top of the mountain, I came to the "nest" that the man said.

Originally, Wang Ren thought that the man was self-effacing, so he gave him a derogatory name. Unexpectedly... this looks like a nest indeed!

A broken cave, not deep, but enough to sleep more than ten people.Put some branches at the entrance of the hole as a door, and there is still firewood that has just been extinguished inside.A skinny woman with a sallow face was standing at the entrance of the cave holding a child who looked to be only three years old, watching the child pee.

When she saw those men appearing, she was pleasantly surprised, but when she saw Yinxiang and the others behind him, the surprise on her face disappeared immediately, she screamed, then picked up the child and ran away.Wang Ren clearly saw that the little boy was being carried away because he hadn't finished urinating and his pants hadn't been pulled up yet. The bird's urine drew a perfect arc in the air like watering from a watering can. It landed on the boy's own little feet.

Wang Ren: ==

Yinxiang: ...

Don't be so nervous, they are not bad people, let the children finish peeing...

"Ah Hua! Don't run away! He's not a bad person!" The man in the lead ran over.

Wang Ren: The names of people in the ancient countryside always have a sense of joy.

The man came to the entrance of the cave nervously, and the woman named A Hua called everyone out, and everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at Yinxiang and others vigilantly.

The man came to the woman and said something in a low voice.Then Wang Ren saw what the woman was talking to the people behind her, and they all came to Yin Xiang and Wang Ren, and knelt down together.

Wang Ren took a few steps back and asked Yin Xiang to appease these people, while he himself took out the dragon-hunting ruler and looked around. The dragon-hunting ruler reacted slightly, but unfortunately it was not strong.

After Yinxiang comforted those people, he gave them something to eat, and then came to Wang Ren, looking curiously at the two metal rods in his hand.

"How far is it?" Yinxiang asked: "If we don't arrive at the place you mentioned tonight, then we and this group of people will all be hungry."

"Where's the food?" Wang Ren put away the dragon-finding ruler and said, "Is it all gone?"

"There is only enough for three people to eat." Yin Xiang shook his head and said, "Suddenly a group of people came, and after distributing food to them, we still have leftover food, which is already very good."

Wang Ren looked up at the sky, lowered his head and squeezed a handful of soil to observe the quality of the soil, his nose twitched and he sighed, "It depends on luck."

Yinxiang: ==

Wang Ren said: "If you are lucky, you will have wild fruits to eat. If you are unlucky, you can only find other food from the mountains." The soil quality here is good. If you can plant fruit trees, they will bear full fruit even if you don't take care of them.But there is a small problem, it is March now.

March is warm in the south, and some fruit trees will bear fruit, but what are the chances that there will happen to be fruit trees that bear fruit in March on this uninhabited mountain?

So Wang Ren can only say, it depends on luck.

But I can't die of hunger.

"Enough rest, let's go." Wang Ren stood up and said, "Today, before dark, we must cross this mountain."

Although the mountains in the Qing Dynasty were not full of tigers, there were still ferocious beasts that could hurt people.Therefore, they must be cautious and leave here as soon as possible before dark.

Because there were many old and weak women and children in the crowd, the speed of this trip was greatly reduced, and the sky gradually dimmed, but a few people still did not reach the foot of the mountain.

Everyone's hearts were still slowly becoming uneasy, and some children even started to cry.

"What should I do?" the head of the guard asked Yinxiang in a low voice.

"How far is it?" Yin Xiang looked back at Wang Ren.

"It's not far away, keep going." Wang Ren said, "Try to speed up."

Just when the last rays of the sun were about to be swallowed up by the night, Yinxiang and the others finally vaguely saw the foot of the mountain, which was a flat and vast land.

There were voices of surprise from behind.

After the surprise, there is a loss.

So what if you see flat land, no food.

"It's getting dark." Wang Ren looked at the sky and sighed, "Set camp first?"

"Camp? We can only lie down on the ground." Yinxiang laughed and said, "Now the water is used up, and there is only a little dry food left. Regardless of the food, it's okay to be hungry and wait until dawn, but what about the water?"

"Water is easy to find." Wang Ren took out his dragon-finding ruler again: "Just wait."

Holding the dragon-seeking ruler in both hands, he walked forward slowly, and the crowd followed behind him. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wang Ren saw the dragon-seeking ruler in his hand move, and he heard the slight sound of water after a few steps forward.Smiled: "I found the water."

Behind them are the cheers of the people.

The last dry food was boiled with hot water. Although I was not full, I still had something to fill my stomach.Everyone started to fall asleep in a bunch of threes and fives.

Wang Ren yawned in front of the fire, Yinxiang packed up his things and came to him with a bowl of water, sat down next to him, and then felt the body around him go stiff.

"What's wrong with me?" Yinxiang was a little puzzled: "Are you hiding from me a little today?"

"No..." It's just a little uneasy to be close to you.

"What exactly is this place? Do you know?" To avoid embarrassment, Wang Ren immediately changed the subject.

"No." Yinxiang shook his head: "The other side of the mountain is flooded, but this side is not affected at all. If the water here is not a bit muddy, I really thought that climbing a mountain would be another world. "

"I think it should be separated by mountains." Wang Rendao: "When we came here, there was no end to that mountain range."

"This is Xiaoba Mountain." The man approached cautiously and said, "This mountain has always been here, and it is very long. None of the elders of the boys have seen the end of this mountain, and no one has ever thought about it." To cross this mountain. So..."

"So no one has ever known about this place?" Wang Ren nodded and said, "I see."
