Chapter 371: Miss Hong's Wonderful Adventure (13)

"Out of the Imperial City and all the way east, when we came across the first river, we followed the river all the way upstream, and at the end of the river, the river came out of a cave, and there was a mountain on top of the cave, and we climbed to the top of the mountain. ”

Hong Bingying silently read the answer she got from the old man, looking at the river in front of her that was only a few steps wide, and didn't know whether to correspond to the river in the old man's mouth.

There was indeed a bridge over the river, a stone arch bridge that spanned the river, and there were not many pedestrians coming and going, but there were many wagons loaded with goods, each of which crossed the bridge carefully, and there was the sound of wooden wheels and stones clashing.

Hong Bingying's carriage stopped in front of the arched bridge, thanked the coachman, and saw Li Deyou struggling to stick his head out of the window on one side, "woo woo" seemed to want to say something to Hong Bingying, Hong Bingying could only reply with an apologetic look, he somewhat understood, this should be the lady in the coachman's mouth, a set for his son, the main purpose Hong Bingying is not clear, but this is someone else's family matter, Hong Bingying has no reason to do something.

Watching the carriage and the two knights behind it cross the arch bridge and continue to walk forward, Hong Bingying began to walk upstream along the river.

The upstream of this river is in the north, knowing this, Hong Bingying began to doubt the words of the old man yesterday, when talking about how to move forward, why didn't the old man just say that he met the first river and went north, instead of saying that he went upstream after encountering the river.

The only thing that can be explained, at least what Hong Bingying can think of now, is that the old man yesterday didn't know which direction the upper reaches of the river was, so how could he know where his mother was?

Moreover, how did the words "when he encountered the first river", "go upstream along the river", and "go to the end of the river" sound like they were made up improvly, Hong Bingying regretted a little, regretting that he believed the old man's words, but the road still had to go, and if he didn't know whether what the old man said was true or false, of course he couldn't kill him and ask the old man why he lied to him.

Along the river all the way to the north, gradually away from the people, the trees and weeds on both sides have become more, Hong Bingying carefully avoided those thorny plants, so as not to be punctured by them, I didn't pay attention before, Hong Bingying's clothes have a few more torn notches, although this set of clothes looks beautiful, but the silk clothes are indeed very unstrong, and as long as a hole is hung up, it is difficult to organize this gap to get bigger and bigger, and finally it becomes out of control.

Another important problem is that Hong Bingying is hungry, counting, he has not eaten food for a whole day, and although he has eaten two days ago, except for the bacon he and Xiu'er ate at that time, he has only cushioned his stomach at other times, and he always feels that his chest is close to his back until now.

Hong Bingying has no experience of surviving alone in the wild, and some jumping swimming fish can be vaguely seen in the river, but without fishing tools and any weapons, Hong Bingying really doesn't know how to catch these swimming fish in the river. He searched around on his body, and finally found that there was only a seal and a fire fold, and the seal lost its effect after leaving the imperial city, so the only thing that could be used was the fire fold, but the red soldiers didn't know that the fire fold was excepted

What other functions can be used besides ignition?

This walk, only a day's walking, in the end, Hong Bingying was really hungry, and began to deviate from the river and went to the forest to see if she could find some wild fruits that could be eaten. It is the best thing not to ask whether the wild fruit is good or not, but to ask that the wild fruit can fill the stomach and is not poisonous.

......

It took about two days, eating I don't know how many wild fruits I can't name, and I don't know if it's his luck enough, although some of those results are very unpalatable, but they are a good supplement of nutrients and water, and they don't disappoint him at all. In the end, Hong Bingying finally finished walking the river, he unexpectedly found that the river really flowed out of the cave, the origin of the river water that was originally like a spring, slowly expanded into a river a few steps wide, but the location of the spring was in the depths of the cave, Hong Bingying walked a few steps and did not dare to go deeper into the dark environment, and there were strange sounds coming from inside, which made Hong Bingying very uneasy.

Retreating from the cave, Hong Bingying re-examined the mountain above the cave, and he was not sure now whether the old man's words the day before yesterday were true, or if he happened to hit the right ending.

But these are no longer problems, as long as you climb to the top of this mountain, everything is revealed.

The mountain is a rocky mountain, and most of the place can be seen bare black rocks, and the rest of the mountain is half covered with brown soil, from which large and small plants grow tenaciously, grabbing the light of the sun above.

The range of the mountain is not small, Hong Bingying went around halfway, only to find a road that can barely go up the mountain, it is also a river that slides down from the top of the mountain, although the black rocks on both sides of the river look a little slippery, but they are scattered, compared to those bare cliffs, or the soil layer that does not look very solid at first, these black rocks tightly embedded on both sides of the river can be used as a staircase to go up the mountain.

Without thinking too much, Hong Bingying tightened the clothes on her body and began to climb up.

This clear spring that flows down from the mountain, of course, there will be no animals such as swimming fish, the clear spring water is a little cold, sometimes falling from a high altitude, those cold water mist will diffuse, after a while, Hong Bingying's clothes are wet, the silk clothes are tightly attached to the body, and then blown by some cold mountain wind, Hong Bingying couldn't help but shiver, gritted his teeth, he ignored his clothes that were splashed by the river, and accelerated the movements on his hands and feet, wanting to climb to the top of the mountain as soon as possible.

The river disappeared halfway through the stone mountain, leaving only a pool of spring there, and the tireless spring water gushed out from it, so that Hong Bingying couldn't help but drink several sips to comfort her thirsty and hungry body.

Although drinking the spring water made him feel colder, Hong Bingying still shook his spirits and continued to climb up.

Fortunately, it seems that because more than half of the peaks of the mountain, the rocks in the upper part of the mountain are less floating soil, and they are embedded in the mountain one by one, so that Hong Bingying has some places to climb.

It took another while, and Hong Bingying finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

Before she could catch her breath, she froze.

In the center of the mountaintop, there is a stone pillar as white as jade standing there, above the stone pillar is placed a crown, the golden crown shines in the sun, and the red gems dotted on it reflect a brilliant halo, so that those who see it can't take their eyes off.

Hong Bin was also stunned for a while, and then walked in front of the stone pillar with some confusion, the stone pillar is not high, and the crown is also within reach, as long as he stretches out his hand, he can take it off the stone pillar. However, the stone pillars and crowns that appear at the top of the mountain are a little strange when you look at them, as if you have thrown a piece of gold on the ground of the street for no reason, but no one has bent down to pick it up, which makes people feel quite incredible.

Especially this crown is placed here like this, after the sun's exposure, wind and rain, maybe there is lightning on it, but it is still shining, the gold on the surface, there is no dark meaning at all, which is even more incredible.

It's not that Hong Bin hasn't seen gold, those gold nuggets, when they were just poured into a fixed shape, are indeed golden and amazingly charming, but once time passes, they will all become dull, and the surface seems to be covered with a layer of fine yarn, if you want them to restore their original brilliance, they must be re-furnaceed.

Therefore, Hong Bingying's half-stretched hand stopped, he was very worried that this was a trap that someone had laid here, and as long as he touched this crown, something would be triggered.

As for whether it was some kind of mechanism or an enemy rushing up, Hong Bingying was not very clear.

Is he really still deceived? This is indeed the destination that the old man said, but he didn't see any living figure, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, from the beginning of hearing some strange clues from the old man, he should have understood, ten of the ** is the old man's lie in order to fool himself.

Gritting her teeth, Hong Bingying reached out and picked up the crown placed on the stone pillar and began to wait for any possible accidents.

As a result, Hong Bingying waited for a long time, until the sun above her head was tilted at an angle, and nothing happened, except for the white clouds overhead, which drifted from left to right, bringing wind, and blowing from east to west, nothing happened.

The stone pillar was still the same as before, and there was not a despicable trap on the ground, nor did the black-clothed men who were hiding around rush up.

So, Hong Bingying was confused, he looked at the crown in his hand, but he didn't know what this crown did.

Perhaps, this is the kind of crown that the emperor of the Great Qin Empire usually wears? If you bring this crown back, you may be able to sell it for a good price, but if you sell it blatantly, you may encounter some trouble.

Hong Bingying thought about it, and reacted again, the trouble should not be over, even the palace is in chaos, how can anyone care if the crown appears on the street or not, is it the one worn by the emperor of the Great Qin Empire?

After thinking about it, Hong Bingying stretched out her hand to turn the crown around, and carefully looked at it from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside. Finally, he carefully picked up the precious crown, which was full of gems and looked so magnificent, hesitated, and put it on his head, and he always had the feeling that perhaps this was the correct way to use it. 2k reading web
