Chapter 7, Searching for Caves in the West Mountain

There is indeed a small hill in the west of the town, which is not big, but it is also a comparison, and it is indeed much smaller than the big western mountain in the west, so it becomes a small hillside. But in fact, this nameless hill is still a bit big, and you can't walk around it for at least a day.

Chen Zhiyuan was groping with his own impression, no matter how old the Orion was when he entered the mountain, he also followed the main road, and then turned into the small road, and the old Orion was bold, and he would generally go deeper, and then according to what the old student said at that time, the pit that was blown up with the earth cannon must be very deep, otherwise it would be unreasonable for the people in the town to hear such a big movement.

Originally, it was not a quick way to turn around from Tianjia Village, and if you want to go deeper, the time is naturally not enough.

Soon the sun climbed down the mountain, and the position where Chen Zhiyuan and the five of them are now is still on the main road, but it is also some distance from the town, and the surrounding trees are lush and green, and the trunks are not full of moss. The road is not really a big road anymore, there are no horses and vehicles that often trample and run over, and the weeds have already overflowed into the middle of the road.

In the deep mountains, it is naturally impossible to find things at night, especially if the place to find is a cave that has been filled, which is no different from a blind man lighting a lamp, anyway, it is dark in front of him.

Find a better place where the terrain is not too low, everyone picked up some dry firewood, and Chen Zhiyuan saw the fourth brother scattering a circle of powder that I don't know what it was on the periphery of the place where everyone was sitting.

"Don't look at it, it's just some insect repellent powder, eat early and go to bed early, and I'll look for it again tomorrow." ”

The eldest brother casually threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and took out a bunch of food from his arms, all kinds of roast chicken, pig's trotters, shortbread, Chen Zhiyuan could hardly think about how big the pocket on his chest was to hold so many things without being in the way.

Although their attitude was a little bad when they pulled themselves in, the treatment after joining seems to be not bad at present, at least there is no imaginary random beating and scolding, not only that, but the food is also the most expensive things in the town, Chen Zhiyuan can recognize that they are all things from Zuixianglou when he smells the smell, and the price of the roast chicken, pig's trotters and shortbread on the ground now is higher than Chen Zhiyuan's monthly money for two months.

What else can I do? Since we are destined to be unable to resist, we can only accept it. Chen Zhiyuan, who unconsciously had a tendency to give up on himself, could only turn his previous dissatisfaction into appetite, and threw himself all on these delicacies, looking at the hat foursome and frequently sideways.

The next day the group entered the path, but because the plants in the mountains grew quickly, the old hunter was aware of the concealment of the environment, and after a busy day, except for the first place where he could find the place to turn into the road, he found nothing.

This is all a common thing, and who can find the traces left by the people of ten and a half months ago in such an almost deserted place? Anyway, Chen Zhiyuan did not report how much he had been washed, but at present, his own life is still in the hands of others, and he can't say anything.

After searching for three days in a row, nothing was found, and everyone was a little anxious, not only because there was not much food to eat, but also because if they couldn't find the specific location in a short time, if the news in the valley in the east was true, it had been so many days, wouldn't they even be able to drink the soup?

On the fourth day, the fourth brother of the hat man was sent back to supply food, and by the way, he inquired about the news, while the remaining four people continued to stay here to look for it.

However, in the afternoon, through an operation that Chen Zhiyuan couldn't understand, the big brother of the hat man stopped the search team.

"The news from the fourth child that something has happened. ”

The voice from the hat was a little dull, as if he was not very happy, Chen Zhiyuan looked around, confirmed that he didn't see where the fourth brother was, and he didn't know how the eldest brother received the news, could it be that the legendary heart has a little understanding?

"The second and third, you go back, see how you go back in the valley over there, the fourth one gets a treasure hunting rat over, I will continue to look for the three of them here, and as soon as there is news, it will be transmitted back immediately." ”

"Good. "Hmm. ”

There was an answering sound from the two hats next to them, and the two turned to leave.

The eldest brother looked at Chen Zhiyuan, thought for a while and said: "If what is over there is true, then we can only wronged you to stay here for a few days, and when the matter is resolved, we will naturally come back and let you go back, if the news over there is fake, then you still have to find it here with us, do you have any opinions?"

"No opinion, no opinion, just do what you say, big brother, what you say is what you say. Among the two options of having opinions and saving his life, Chen Zhiyuan chose to save his life without hesitation. Just kidding, people ask you just to go through a process to show respect, and if you really take your opinion seriously, then you probably won't ever give it again. Chen Zhiyuan is not stupid, so he naturally knows what to choose.

"Well, it's okay if you don't have an opinion, then let's rest in place and wait for the fourth brother to come back. Sure enough, the eldest brother was very satisfied with Chen Zhiyuan's answer, and couldn't help but nod.

Chen Zhiyuan waited in place boredly, waiting for the moon to climb the branches from the afternoon, and he was about to learn to weave straw without a teacher, and finally the sound of Xi Xi Suosuo came from the grass next to him, it was really the fourth brother who came back.

The fourth brother's appearance looks no different from before, and I haven't seen anything more in his hand, oh, there is a cage in his hand, Chen Zhiyuan is more concerned about what to eat today, anyway, he is in charge of eating now, and when he is full, he will take everyone to wander around the mountains when he is full.

The familiar taste, the familiar recipe, or the meal of Zuixianglou, Chen Zhiyuan ate it beautifully, and just when he wanted to lie down and sleep like this, he was pulled up by the eldest brother.

"Don't sleep tonight, take advantage of the waking time of the treasure hunt rat at night to find it. ”

"It's so dark, what can we find? It's better to wait for the light to shine in the day, it's been so many days anyway, it's not bad for such a day. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was whipped on his heel by the fourth brother, "You talk a lot, the treasure hunting mouse is much more delicate than you, and you don't work for it when it sleeps during the day?"

Chen Zhiyuan was speechless, didn't the mouse jump up and down for twelve hours a day? Why is it so delicate in your hands? But when people are under the eaves, they still have to bow their heads when they should bow their heads, so Chen Zhiyuan had no choice but not to speak, and acquiesced. Well, it's more delicate than me.

"If you have any ideas, just say it, I found it early and we went out early, I stinked after staying in this place for so many days without taking a shower. ”

Chen Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "Since they said that they used an earthen cannon to blow it up, then naturally they can find the best one by following the taste of the earthen cannon, but can you, a mouse, do it?"

"What kind of earthen cannon?" the fourth brother scratched his head, but found that he could only scratch the hat and gave up.

"It's the kind of earth cannon that takes a bunch of gunpowder and fills it in the bamboo joints and explodes, why haven't you cultivators ever played it?" Chen Zhiyuan was a little curious, could it be that cultivators really live a different life than ordinary people?

The fourth brother thought for a moment, took out some papers from his arms, and then poured a bunch of black things on each piece of paper, and asked, "Is that gunpowder?" ”

???Chen Zhiyuan was stunned at that time, isn't there only one kind of gunpowder? There are several kinds of gunpowder? "How do I know, I didn't blow it up." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received another whip on his heel.

"Since I don't know, let's smell it all for the treasure hunting rats, anyway, it is estimated that there is only one place on the mountain that smells of gunpowder. The eldest brother finally decided on the method, Chen Zhiyuan felt that there was nothing wrong with what the eldest brother said, anyway, he just found it, but how this mouse is used is the same as that of a dog, it is really strange.

The fourth brother didn't say anything anymore, picked up the cage that was placed aside, grabbed the treasure hunting rat out with his hands, smelled several gunpowders, and then threw them back into the cage. Then the fourth brother pinched several handprints with his hands, and then the treasure hunting rat in the cage first chirped a few times, and then circled in the cage, and finally stopped after a long time, and barked in one direction.

"Found your way, let's go. ”

Without waiting for the others to speak, the eldest brother took the lead in the direction of the treasure hunting mouse.

It's really a dog. Chen Zhiyuan looked at the treasure hunting rat in the cage and unconsciously revealed such a thought.
