Chapter 156: Rescuing Hope
The old hunter's warning was taken to heart, but when the meal was ready, everyone still ate deliciously.
These two load-bearing personnel, worthy of being all-rounders, made delicious dishes with limited food, and even the big yellow dog was full of praise, endured the pain on his body, and ate very strongly.
The big yellow dog was scratched by the leopard for a while, and there was a wound on the back of the neck, which was bleeding a little at first, but it healed quickly, and the speed of healing was amazing.
Today, all day long, the big yellow dog has been showing magical combat skills, as its owner, Wang Ping'an has also received special treatment, at least two load-bearing personnel respect him very much.
As for the old hunter and Gu Qingcheng, they have been secretly observing Wang Ping'an, and they have not drawn conclusions about him for the time being.
The night came quietly, and darkness descended on the wilderness, except for a glimmer of fire in the camp, and the surroundings were pitch black, like the end times.
After Wang Ping'an was full, he was about to find a place to pee, but he saw a trace of fire in the Yaowang Valley, which was too far away and could only see a trace of fire.
"Huh, come and see, is there a living person there?" Wang Ping'an pointed to the faint light of fire at the bottom of the valley and shouted at the people behind him.
"Where is it, let me see?" Gu Qingcheng rushed over first, took out his binoculars, and looked at the Medicine King Valley carefully.
The old hunter and the load-bearing personnel also came over, staring intently, looking towards the bottom of the Medicine King Valley, through the heavy vine trees, a trace of fire could be faintly seen.
"Is that a survivor?The medicine collection team led by Wang Jiefang?" the old hunter exclaimed in surprise.
"Quite possibly, I knew that my brother had brought so many life-saving things that it was impossible for him to die so quickly. Gu Qingcheng shouted happily with a hint of excitement.
"Do you want to shout loudly? With the help of the echo, there may be a chance for the people at the bottom of the valley to hear. Wang Ping'an proposed.
"I'll come, I......'ll come," Gu Tingcheng said, his hands wrapped into a cylinder, and shouted at the firelight in the middle of the valley, "Hey, we're here to save you, hold on!"
Four or five days have passed, and even if some of the team survives, the food and water sources should be exhausted, and it is still unknown whether they can withstand the endless poisonous insects and mosquitoes around them.
After shouting for a long time, the echo felt very far away, but I didn't receive a response, and it was possible that I didn't hear it.
There are a lot of mosquitoes here, standing for a while, shouting for a while, I feel that my body is about to be bitten by mosquitoes, and I lit mosquito medicine next to it, and it didn't change much.
Wang Ping'an wrote down the location of the firelight, turned around and returned to the tent, fed the big yellow dog a few drops of Shennong mineral water, helped it recover from its injuries, and let it keep vigil nearby.
Over there, Gu Qingcheng shouted so much that he lost his strength, so he stopped talking, looked left and right, and found that everyone was there, so Wang Ping'an went into the tent to sleep alone.
"Wang Ping'an, why do you have no sense of collective honor? In addition to the agreed commission, if you rescue the members of the medicine collection team, there are additional rewards, you don't care at all?"
Gu Qingcheng was angry, standing in front of Wang Ping'an's tent, and shouted angrily.
"Didn't you say that if you don't enter the Medicine King Valley, it will be impossible for people to be saved, what do I care about? Anyway, it is impossible to get a penny reward. ”
Wang Ping'an's voice came from inside the tent lazily.
"You...... You...... If we find that there are still people alive in the medicine collection team, how can we stand idly by?" Gu Qingcheng said angrily.
"I want to enter you, anyway, I won't enter, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, and I don't want to die so early. Wang Ping'an replied unceremoniously.
"......" Gu Qingcheng was so angry, but his emotions were extremely well controlled.
And she felt that Wang Ping'an had a little more strength than throwing two stones today, and he didn't have any specialties, so he was not as good as the big yellow dog he brought.
He can't enter the Medicine King Valley, it's not a big problem, let this fool go back to marry his daughter-in-law, go back and see the streets.
I really regret that it is useless to bring such a person into the mountains.
So, she looked back at the old hunter.
The old hunter said: "Don't look at me, I won't enter the Medicine King Valley, although you give you a lot of money, I still want to live a few more years and play with my grandchildren." My life is gone, what are you doing with money?"
"I respect your choice, if you don't come in, just wait for me outside, I'll go in and find it. After Gu Qingcheng finished speaking, he entered his tent angrily.
"Well, why bother...... Tonight, we're going to be on duty in shifts, women, we're four men......"
As soon as he said this, the old hunter heard a uniform and loud snoring sound from Wang Ping'an's tent, as if he was afraid that everyone would not hear it, and there was a trilling rhythm.
"Forget it, let's just take turns on duty, you two keep watch after midnight, after two o'clock, wake me up, because that's the most dangerous time. If any beast wants to sneak attack, it will also choose the time before dawn. ”
Hearing the old hunter say this, the two weight-bearing men agreed without any doubts.
And Wang Ping'an's snoring at this time also stopped abruptly and became extremely quiet.
The roars of wild beasts around the camp were somewhat frequent, but after a night of nervousness, no wild beasts came to sneak attack, and after dawn, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After breakfast, everyone followed the path that had existed for a long time, and went down the mountain in a roundabout way, and it was not until eleven o'clock at noon that they arrived near the entrance of the Medicine King Valley.
When I came to this valley, I realized how tall and dense the forest was, and I couldn't see anything except a few paths.
"Entering such a primeval valley is tantamount to looking for death, so let's stop here. The old hunter said with a serious expression.
Wang Ping'an agreed: "Yes, if you go in, not only will you not be able to find them, but you will also lose them." ”
"I know what you mean, but ...... My brother might still be alive, and it's nearby, and I can't watch them die inside. When we came, we brought a rope, and by following the rope, we might be able to go in and search for some distance. ”
Gu Tingcheng said, motioning for the two load-bearing personnel to open their backpacks and take out the ropes.
It was a thin red string, looking like a small clump, but it was actually very long and had a fluorescent material, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark.
This side is tied to a stone at the entrance, holding a ball of thread, which allows you to enter the depths of the valley.
However, when a load-bearing officer was about to tie the rope, he found a broken rope on a nearby stone, which was bitten by some wild beast.
"This ...... Mr. Gu, what do you think ......?" said the weight-bearing officer with a solemn expression.
"Tie it up, since you're here, you have to try it. Besides, aren't there two people here who don't go in? just let them watch the rope here, and don't let the beasts bite it off. ”
Gu Qingcheng's expression was resolute, and his beautiful face did not hesitate at all, as if he did not see life and death in his eyes.
Wang Ping'an frowned, he couldn't figure out what was going on with this woman, she was really not scared at all?
Waiting for the load-bearing personnel to tie the rope, Gu Qingcheng suddenly smiled and said, "Then let's go in, if we don't come out for three days, you can go back." By the way, during this period, you need to solve the problem of eating by yourself. ”
After speaking, she ignored the stunned gazes of Wang Ping'an and the old hunter, and quickly drilled into the dense Medicine King Valley with two load-bearing personnel.
"This ...... In our backpacks, there are only a few chocolates and compressed biscuits, and some wild boar, which is only enough to last a day and a half at most, and it is difficult to even go back, so how can we wait for you?"
Wang Ping'an shouted in the back, but Gu Qingcheng did not answer, only a string of inexplicable melodious laughter, coming from the dense forest, like a mountain ghost.
The old hunter was also distressed, and slapped his thigh: "This ...... What are we going to do? If we go back now, will she not give us the money?"
Wang Ping'an squatted there, hugged the big yellow dog who was eager to try, and sighed: "If she goes in, she will almost die, how can she give you money?" I finally know, why did Wang Jiefang go in with him...... If you're forced to this point, you can't go in if you don't go in. ”
"Alas, it's a pity, this trip was almost in vain. "The old hunter is so entangled that he lost a hound.
Before coming, the old hunter only received a small deposit, and most of the expenses were not settled.
"Huh, not good!"
Suddenly, Wang Ping'an saw that the red thin strength had broken, and the original state of collapse had fallen softly to the ground.
Before the words fell, Wang Ping'an followed the soft rope that fell to the ground and rushed into the Medicine King Valley, which was covered with dense vines.
"Wang Ping'an, don't be stupid...... the old hunter shouted nervously in the back.
"Well, I'll be fine...... I just wanted to scare her, but I didn't expect her to follow the routine...... My task is getting more and more complicated. ”
A bunch of words that the old hunter couldn't understand, came out of the dense forest, and soon there was no movement, these dense plants, were a natural noise barrier.
