Chapter 169: Going Home
"At that time, Miss Yan and I fell into the trap by mistake and fell into the dark river, and finally swam to the shore, so we started to walk downstream downstream, and after passing through the passage of the stone chamber, we came to the altar of the giant pit. At first, we didn't find anything, but when we searched for the exit, we stumbled upon the body of a man lying in the huge crater, which seemed to have just died. ”
"I am very unfamiliar with the deceased, but Miss Yan recognized the deceased immediately, saying that it was Master Guo who had instructed their brothers and sisters to find the earth dragon marrow. Miss Yan was in a hurry, so she stepped into the deep pit, but inadvertently activated the formation inside, I hurriedly went down to save her, and it took a lot of effort to save her. ”
"But not long after I rescued her, we encountered a mutated black snake more than ten meters away, and before Miss Yan could react, she was directly knocked unconscious by the mutant black snake. I got into a fight with the black snake, and we both fell into the river again, and when I woke up again, I found myself running to the bottom of the mountain......"
Lu Chen said, and took out the dagger that had stabbed the mutant black snake before, leaving traces of blood, and continued: "Look at it, this is the proof that I stabbed the mutant black snake. ”
When everyone heard this, they stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the dagger was really stained with red-green snake blood, which was exactly the same as the blood of the little black snakes that everyone encountered when they were at the upper altar before.
"Even though you've shown proof of it, how can I still feel like it's a bit exaggerated? How could it be that as soon as you woke up, you ran up from the depths of the cave?"
Yan Tong frowned, with an expression of disbelief.
What are you kidding, could it be that there are some kind people in this cave who sent him out? This is outrageous, isn't it?
"Brother, I think what Brother Lu said is true, because in that altar, there really seems to be something that we can't understand. ”
Yan Meng nodded and said matter-of-factly.
After all, she and Lu Chen were on the same front, even if they were suspicious, they still gave Lu Heng affirmation on the surface.
After Lu Chen came back, except for the two bodyguards who died in the cave accidentally, the number of people who entered the mountain this time was already the same.
Yan Meng felt deeply guilty about the death of the two bodyguards, but at the same time he was a little frustrated and disappointed, obviously they had reached the earth dragon marrow, but in the end, because of the behind-the-scenes organization, they fell short.
On the way back to the city, while passing by the rest stop, Lu Chen found an opportunity to talk to Yan Meng, and learned that she wanted to use Master Wu to lead out the behind-the-scenes organization.
Although he was not optimistic about Yan Meng's plan, he did not open his mouth to persuade him, this matter involved the Yan family, and he was not allowed to be an outsider at all.
Then, he handed a small bottle containing a light red liquid to Yan Meng, and said in a low voice: "This is the earth dragon marrow, but because it has been absorbed by that mysterious little snake for too long, the effect may not be one in ten, you can try it, but don't get too much hope......"
"Also, be careful not to let Master Wu or anyone else find out. ”
"Thank you so much, Brother Lu!"
Seeing this, Yan Meng reached out and took the small bottle with an excited face, and then carefully stuffed the small bottle into the bag he was carrying.
......
This time, he accompanied the Yan family brothers and sisters into the mountain, and for nearly seven or eight days, there was no signal in the depths of Jinwu Mountain, and when he came out, his mobile phone had been scrapped, and there was only one mobile phone card left, so he couldn't contact the Ye family.
After Yan Tong drove him home, when he entered the door, he found that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were all in the living room.
After seeing him come back, his father-in-law Ye Jianwen's face showed a touch of joy: "Xiao Chen, why did it take so long for you to enter the mountain this time?"
When Lu Chen left, he didn't say that he wanted to help the Yan family brothers and sisters find the dragon vein, after all, it sounded a bit outrageous, so he just said that he would accompany a few friends to Jinwu Mountain to play.
"Actually, he should have come back a long time ago, but a guy went to the toilet in the middle of the night and got lost, and it took us days to find him. ”
He had made up a reason in advance, if his father-in-law and mother-in-law had any doubts, he could call Yan Tong, because Yan Tong was playing the role of being lost in the toilet.
"The terrain of this Golden Crow Mountain is intricate, and the deeper you go, the more likely you are to encounter danger. ”
Ye Jianwen nodded slightly, but he didn't have any doubts.
In the past few days, he has also accompanied his eldest daughter to Jinwu Mountain to see the construction progress of the resort, so he has some understanding of the situation in Jinwu Mountain. Not to mention in the deep mountains and old forests, even on the construction site on the outside of the mountain, there are often workers who get lost for inexplicable reasons.
Liu Ya glanced at Lu Chen suspiciously, but didn't say anything.
After Lu Chen chatted with his father-in-law a few more words, he returned to his room and opened the backpack that had followed him through all the hardships.
In fact, there was nothing in it, only three things remained.
One is the missing compass, which can't be lost no matter what, and the other is the jade bowl that was enshrined on the altar, which he also took back with him.
However, the material of this jade bowl should not be ordinary jade, otherwise it should have been broken long ago when he was fighting with the mutant black snake.
And the last one is a bottle of mineral water containing the marrow of the earth dragon and the mysterious little snake.
Since this mysterious little snake went through that worship ceremony, it was as if it had entered hibernation, and there was no reaction at all.
He carefully unscrewed the mouth of the bottle, poured all the soup and water back into the jade bowl, and then found a secret place to hide the jade bowl.
"Knock knock. ”
Just when he had just hidden the jade bowl, someone knocked on his door, and when he pushed the door, he saw that it was his mother-in-law Liu Ya.
"Xiao Chen, please pick up Qingyun in the afternoon. This girl ran a red light the day before yesterday, and her driver's license points were deducted, so you went to pick her up from school and drove her car back by the way. ”
Since Ye Qingling joined the Qingchen Group, Lu Chen's status in the family has skyrocketed, and even his mother-in-law, who has always been cold to him, has become pleasant.
"No problem, Mom. I'll get ready, and I'll pick up Qingyun. ”
Lu Chen agreed very happily.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Chen was about to go out to pick up Ye Qingyun, but before that, he took out the private money he had saved with great difficulty, probably less than two hundred yuan, enough to buy a new domestic elderly machine.
After buying the phone, he only had a dozen dollars left in his pocket.
Who would have thought that a few days ago, he was still in the underground cave, fighting wits with people, and fighting with mutated black snakes, but after returning to the normal world, he would become so poor and sour.
But fortunately, he has long been used to it.
After calling Ye Qingyun and making an appointment to meet him, he stepped on the bus and went straight to Ye Qingyun's university.
