Chapter 155: Heading to Hengshan
"Yes? I heard it. Xiao Ming scratched his head, his eyes lit up.
Looking at Xiao Ming, Xu Le sighed slightly, he was not willing to deceive people who already believed in him wholeheartedly. It's just that this system is really inconvenient for others to notice.
The days are like sudden lightning, and the speed of them is unexpected.
It's time to head to Hengshan. Xu Le and the others prepared to go to Hengshan early, everything was in order, and they were just waiting for departure.
On the way to Hengshan, there was a burst of laughter, like the beautiful singing voice of a nightingale, which made the withered tree bloom into delicate roses, and the exhaustion was far less than the fullness of the heart.
"Be sure to take care of yourself, I'll miss you. Li Qiuyue's text messages always came at the right time, and after Xu Le, who was quite bored, saw the content on his phone, the corners of his mouth were like spring breezes blowing willow branches.
"It's really exciting, and the excitement of being able to get a glimpse of the treasure can't be calmed. Jiang Cheng's hand trembled faintly, which was enough to see his excitement.
When the destination arrived, everyone got out of the car, the cool wind was blowing on their faces, and the towering mountains were in front of them.
"It's finally here!" Jiang Cheng stretched out his arms and squinted at the loess in front of him.
The trees are not dense, and the only few trees have sparse leaves, like milk dolls that have not received nutrients and are white and black.
"Don't be so happy, we're not here to travel. Su Yue glanced at Jiang Cheng and sighed. The mystery of the tomb is, of course, intriguing and tickling. But the fear of ghosts and gods in her nature made her a little more worried.
Xu Le carried a heavy backpack and looked around, the stretching mountains were like a hoop, surrounding people.
"Damn, this is the rhythm of going up?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Le get out of the car and take his slightly worn peaked cap.
"No, don't we have a bus?" Regardless of whether anyone cares about it or not, Jiang Cheng is the best at asking himself.
"It's okay to walk up, life is in motion. Xiao Ming disagreed, he liked the deserted here, and liked the cool wind blowing in his face, so that he could enjoy the happiness given by nature with peace of mind.
Xu Le took a few steps forward, suddenly remembered a few people who were following, turned around, and beckoned to them.
"Let's go up!" the voice pierced through the wall, faintly echoing.
"Hengshan has a strange rule, only cars are allowed to send people to it, but they are not allowed to drive up. You can only work hard and go up on your own. Seeing that they were reluctant to leave, the driver hurriedly urged.
He looked up at the lead-gray clouds above him curling forward, several crows flying freely in a row. Thinking of the fantasy story that was passed down by word of mouth not long ago, my heart trembled, and I urged it even more.
Su Yue frowned, picked up her suitcase and got out of the car with Jiang Cheng and Xiao Ming.
Looking at Xiao Ming's golden eyes, Su Yue felt dazzling. She didn't understand why Xu Le insisted on bringing the stinky little brat.
She knew that Xu Le was very smart, quick-witted, and would not do things for no reason. It's just a little kid, what can you do? You can only be a burden.
A few people climbed all the way, and when they reached the halfway up the mountain, there was a grocery store, a very small room, red bricks and white tiles, and there were few things in it, more like a grocery store.
They looked at the few bottles of mineral water and asked for them all. An hour of crawling was like putting lead on my feet, and I was so heavy that I was tired of taking a single step.
"What are you doing here for no reason?" The owner of the grocery store is a middle-aged woman with big wavy dark red hair, a flower dress, yellow skin and thick flesh, and a Chinese face, looking stocky.
She had always thought that after those stories that had been told so much, almost no one would go to them again. So I shipped a lot of goods home and prepared to evacuate in a week.
"Come and travel, relax. Su Yue smiled.
Of course, she won't say anything about the treasure hunt.
"Oh, there's nothing to distract from here! You all look like young people, haven't you heard the rumors here?" the proprietress squinted and looked at a few people.
"What rumors?" Xu Le began to wonder.
Su Yue and Jiang Cheng also pricked up their ears, wanting to listen to the proprietress talk.
"Legend has it that there is a tomb here, and there are treasures. The proprietress looked around and said softly.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Xu Le quickly sensed that something was wrong, if it was this rumor, there should be an endless stream of people.
There will always be some greedy people who know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains.
"The problem is that many people have never returned, and I heard that there was a man-eating beast in front of the tomb. The proprietress shuddered as if she had experienced it, "He specializes in punishing the bad guys who spy on treasures." ”
"Who believes this kind of myth and story? Jiang Cheng disagreed, he had always been the staunchest atheist. I don't believe in God, I don't believe in ghosts.
"So there are so few people coming?" Su Yue remembered, there were only a few of them on the entire bus, and on the way up, there were only shadows of trees, and no figures could be seen.
"This rumor has been spread for a long time, so no one is coming, and I am ready to leave this place. I advise you, young people, to leave quickly. I don't know why, but I always feel like it's gloomy here. ”
"Thank you, but it's hard for us to come out, it's a shame to leave like this. Xu Le shook his head. He didn't want to stay here for a long time, he lived in the mountains for a while when he was a child, and the dilapidated thatched huts couldn't keep out the cold, and the humidity was always tearing at the bones.
Anyway, they are also here for their studies, and if they are empty-handed, they will definitely disappoint Mr. Wang.
In particular, he was also curious about the secrets of Hengshan. Thinking of Cao Huaqing's words, he frowned.
"So, after this, no one is here. You are still young, and there is no need to lose your life for this little thing. "The hostess has always feared ghosts and gods. The word "grave" was enough for her to tremble.
"In that case, we need to take a look. Xu Le's eyes flashed slightly.
After a moment's pause, they continued to make their way up the mountain.
Passing by a cave, it was as black as the bottom of the sea, and the entrance of the cave could be entered by about five or six people at the same time.
"Let's go in and have a look. It's a rare archaeological location that can't be missed. "Jiangcheng is fascinated by history and archaeology.
"Don't forget, that proprietress just now..."Su Yue stopped halfway through speaking, afraid that they would laugh at her superstition.
"What are you afraid of, you won't really believe it, right?" Jiang Cheng looked displeased.
Xu Le didn't say anything in the face of the discussion between the two, took out a flashlight from his bag, loaded it with a battery, and lit up the deep cave inch by inch.
A few steps forward, there was a biting wind, like a sharp knife, stabbing straight to the cheek.
"Xu Le, I'm afraid. Su Yue wrapped her arms around Xu Le's elbow, nervous.
Her voice was sweet, like a soft marshmallow. Xu Le's heart is like an iceberg that melts after being scorched by the sun.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. Xu Le patted Su Yue's hand lightly and said firmly.
Such a good girl, he must protect it well. I just want to put it in the palm of my hand so that she won't be frightened.
"Thank you, Xu Le. Su Yue looked at Xu Le affectionately, her eyes were transparent and bright.
It seems that men eat beauty tricks. She just put her arms around Xu Le, and he couldn't wait to dedicate his whole life to himself.
Thinking of Xu Le's various admirable operations before, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth. Being with such a person must be the right choice.
"You can look at the road with peace of mind, we are here to archaeology, not to see you fall in love. Jiang Cheng glared at Su Yue, although Su Yue, whose face was illuminated by the light of the flashlight, was beautiful, he was not interested.
For him, the most important thing is only his studies!
"We're not in a relationship. Xu Le blushed, he was a little embarrassed not to look over, and muttered.
"Yes, the big brother is not this big sister's!" Xiao Ming didn't have a good impression of Su Yue,
Su Yue's originally hot heart seemed to have been poured with several basins of cold water, and her expression slowly became indifferent.
She also thought that she had completely mastered Xu Le's heart. I didn't expect this guy to be a fool who didn't understand the amorous feelings.
"With or without archaeology, archaeology always comes first. Jiang Cheng took out his flashlight and lit it forward, he had a thick red rope around his neck, and he hung his mobile phone so that he could take pictures.
Xu Le also cheered up, took out a hood from his bag, and there was a small flashlight on it, and continued to move forward after turning it on. Su Yue was still holding Xu Le's arm, who expected to step on something. If it weren't for Xu Le's support, I'm afraid I would have fallen directly to the ground.
"Scared the hell out of me, woo woo, this cave is so scary. Su Yue had a cry in her voice.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you, you don't need to be afraid. "Xu Le's machismo is especially strong at this moment.
Jiang Cheng's flashlight shone at the place where Su Yue fell, and it turned out to be a shabby cloth, dirty, covered with layers of ash.
"It turned out to be cloth, it's okay, it scared me to death, who is so unqualified, actually throwing things around here!" Su Yue looked at the cloth under her feet and said indignantly.
"It seems unusual, with words written on it. Xu Le quickly noticed the vague font on the top and couldn't help frowning. He leaned down and picked up the cloth.
"It doesn't matter what he says, such a dirty cloth, just throw it away, what are you doing when you pick it up!" Su Yue avoided this and hid to the side.
The words on the cloth are a little blurry, but when you squint and look closely, you can still make a general idea.
"The heart has been light at night, and I have seen the long and short pavilions in Vietnam. Ten miles of waterside mountain road, peach blossoms are countless wheat green. ”
"I really didn't expect that the owner of this cloth is quite poetic, and he actually has the leisure to write poems on a piece of cloth!" Su Yue couldn't help but sneer. "But, how could such a literary and artistic person throw garbage here!"
"This is not a poem written by this person, it is written by the Song Dynasty poet Jiang Kui, named Xiaoshan. Jiang Cheng held his chin in his hand and pondered.
Xu Le nodded in agreement. He has never been interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but since he has this galaxy system, the whole person is suddenly erudite and talented.
"Xiao Shan?" Xu Le suddenly frowned, remembering what Cao Huaqing had said.
