Chapter 248: A Journey to the Dangerous Mountains

The group rested for one night at the Dapeng Wings Inn, and the next day, Feng Er and Ye Feitian went out to hire people to go up the mountain.

After a while, the two of them each brought back one person, who was the head of the local mountain people's group. There is such a small group of people near Baimao Mountain, who specialize in hunting and collecting medicine in the mountains for a living, and for safety, they travel in groups, with each small group ranging from three or five people to more than ten or twenty people. They often go into Baimao Mountain to find natural treasures, have a certain understanding of Baimao Mountain, and occasionally lead people to the way, so that they can go into the mountain and earn double money, why not.

When the two saw Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan, they invariably made the same request, and increased the price! In the past, the people who hired them to enter the mountain were all men, not to mention the rich experience in hiking, but at least they could withstand things, and Feng Qixiang, who was "powerless", and Qiao Lan, who was "weak and couldn't help the wind", were obviously not enough in their eyes, as if they were little white faces, and it was bound to be a lot of trouble to enter the mountain, so it was necessary to increase the price.

In fact, they are also playing on the topic, there are about eight mountain groups like them in the local area, and the others have all gone into the mountains, and only they are left, that is to say, Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan want to hire people to enter the mountains, and they have no other choice but them.

Qiao Lan, who was disliked, was also disgusted with these two people, feeling that their style of acting was in line with the style of the mountain people who left the strange doctor alone in the mountains more than a hundred years ago, and they were selfish and selfish, and when something happened, these people were the ones who ran the fastest. The strange doctor's adventure was a little more credible in her heart.

Since there is something to count on, it is better not to worry, but if it is just a guide, I believe there are still many people who can do it. Qiao Lan and Feng Qixiang looked at each other and nodded tacitly.

Both of them asked for a price increase. Otherwise, they had nothing to fear, and they were sent away. In this regard, they didn't think about it, turned around and left, feeling that Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan either didn't go into the mountain, or they had to go back to them, and when the time came, the commission had to be raised.

Ye Feitian went out again, and when he came back. Behind him was a teenager.

The boy's name is Qi Baibai. He is as big as Qiao Lan, but he is extremely thin, compared to when Fang Xiaoyong was a little beggar. Because of the thin, slap-sized face. Those eyes were particularly abrupt. Like a monkey.

Qi Baibai's parents are sick. It's still too sick to get out of bed, and the livelihood of the whole family falls on the shoulders of the elder brother, who is a few years older, and Qi Baibai has begun to share the work of the family since he was sensible. In the early years, he had already begun to wander around the periphery of Baimao Mountain. The mountain people disliked him, so he acted alone and gradually went deep into the mountains.

He may not dare to pack a ticket, but if he goes to Baihua Mountain, he dares to pat his chest and guarantee that even if he closes his eyes, he can find his way.

"Childe, I'm not afraid to tell you, there is a shortcut to Baihua Mountain that only takes two days, and no one else knows about it, except for me. If you want to go to Baihua Mountain, look for me. Qi Baibai looked at Feng Qixiang eagerly, in his opinion, this eldest brother was the one who made the decision.

He desperately needed this job, not to mention that he often walked in the mountains, but he lacked experience in the mountains, and could not find good things to help his family. The elder brother worked hard in the fields, and he could only ensure that the family would not starve to death, but in order to treat his father and mother, the family already owed a debt of more than a dozen taels of silver, and he was unable to repay it at all. As long as you take this job, you will have one hundred taels, not only can you pay off the debt, but you can also change your father and mother to a good doctor, prepare good medicine, and your brother can also marry a daughter-in-law......

Feng Qixiang wanted to hire an experienced hiker, and Qi Baibai was clearly a long way from being experienced. He was about to ask Feng Er to send people away, but Qiao Lan had already made a decision to leave him. Character is more important than ability. She has no confidence in the character of those mountain people, so it is better to invite Qi Baibai, filial piety and sensible human affection is also important, although there is not much experience in hiking, but I believe that he will not pat his ass and leave.

"Brother Qiao, do you pity him?" Feng Qixiang could only think of this reason, and he also knew that Qiao Lan was the most soft-hearted towards others, except for him.

"He still knows shortcuts, doesn't he?" Qiao Lan said indifferently, giving a reason, indicating that she was by no means an emotional person.

Qi Baibai saw Qiao Lan leave him, and instantly turned against him, "Little boy, I am weak, but I have also been in Baimao Mountain for many years, and I can escape from danger many times, so it will definitely not be a problem to take you to Baimao Mountain." ”

"Well, I believe you. ”

"That ......," Qi Bai said in embarrassment, "I may make a request." ”

"Boy, don't kick your nose in the face!" Feng Qixiang glared at Qi Baibai angrily, but Qiao Lan continued to say calmly, "You talk about it first, as for whether you agree or not, it depends on what you ask." ”

"Can you, can you, give me twenty taels of silver as a deposit first, don't worry, I will definitely be able to bring you to Baihua Mountain, and I will never break my word." If you can't do it, let the mountain god thunder and kill me. "The situation in the mountains is changeable, and the mountain people's groups often break their promises and get fat, and even leave people in the mountains, so it is customary to hire them and never give money in advance. Qi Baibai knew very well how dangerous it was in the mountains, and every time he entered the mountain, he was ready to go and never return, and this time was no exception.

Twenty taels may be praised for many years for an ordinary farmer, but for Qiao Lan, there is not much sincerity, she knows the situation of Qi Baibai's family, and feels that this request is not too much, so she took advantage of Qi Baibai's intentions. Twenty taels of silver, if you can buy him wholeheartedly, it's too cost-effective.

Holding two ingots of silver, Qi Baibai was so excited, he resisted the urge to take the silver home to his brother immediately, he carefully told Qiao Lan what to pay attention to when going up the mountain, what to prepare, it turned out that he still had a very good set.

Two days later, Feng Qixiang took Feng 1, Feng 2 and Feng 4, Qiao Lan took Ye Feitian and Shan Zixuan and a Zheng Shen Doctor, and headed to Baimao Mountain under the leadership of Qi Baibai. Qiao Lanyuan also wanted to leave the old guy Doctor Zheng behind, but this trip was dangerous, and he really needed a doctor who could save the emergency, and he himself insisted on keeping up, saying that he had to go to the place where the master had been, so she could only reluctantly agree to let him follow, just declare, let him settle down, don't do too much, otherwise leave him alone.

When they came out of Fengyang. The principals of the two mountain people's groups appeared on the scene, and wished them to come back alive from this trip. Baimao Mountain is dangerous, Baihua Mountain is even more dangerous, even they may not be able to retreat with their whole body, not to mention a group of people who are old and young and have no experience in hiking.

Qiao Lan and the others only thought that the two of them were mad dogs barking and ignored them.

Xu felt bored, so they turned to provoke Qi Baibai, saying that he was so vicious at a young age, taking people to death and so on. Qi Baibai didn't have any city government. Sure enough, I was stimulated and quarreled with them, one against two, and the pair was still an old fritter. He suffered a lot.

The quarrel here attracted many people to stop and watch. I wanted to keep a low profile. Because of this noise. The news of a group of fools entering the mountain to die spread.

Some people recognized Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan as the two beautiful young men who caused Fengyang women to flock to them not long ago. There are also people who sneered, saying that Qiao Lan and they had no heart to hunt for treasures, but they refused to spend money to hire people, and invited such a hairy boy to lead the way, and the mountains were so dangerous, they would definitely die......

Being "cursed" by people in various ways, even if it is a saint, can they beat them?" Feng Er couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped his bare palm on a boulder on the side of the road, and when they walked away, the boulder cracked in Karakara.

How could a good stone suddenly crack? The mountain god must have been angry, so he hurried back to pay respect!!

Baimao Mountain, overgrown with weeds and lush forests, has a faint mist on the periphery. If someone doesn't lead the way, you will get lost.

There are a lot of things to prepare, especially food and warm clothes, except for Qiao Lan, everyone else is more or less carrying their bags, and they can't walk fast at all. At first, the road could still be seen under the feet, but as we walked, the road became less and less obvious, and finally we could only cut through the thorns and thorns, and go deep and shallow to the mountains.

Qiao Lan thought that in their industry, the most troublesome and troublesome person would be Doctor Zheng, or the youngest Shan Zixuan, who knows, the problem is Feng Qixiang's house, and as soon as he enters the mountain, the problem will come.

In the previous life, Qiao Lan had a slight cleanliness habit, but after crossing over, this problem was cured. Compared with her who can step on the dry branches and mud calmly, Feng Qixiang has been together since entering the mountain and has not separated again, obviously, he has a habit of cleanliness, and he hates to step on the solid and clean ground with every foot, fortunately, there is Feng Yi in front of them to open the way, otherwise, he is estimated to have been disgusted to death by this dirty and messy environment.

The big guy trekked hard to help him find medicine, and he knew that it was not good to be too hypocritical at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere. Qiao Lan gloated and thought that it was unknown whether this line could find the Jade Divine Lotus to cure Feng Qixiang's meridians, but his problem with turtle hair cleanliness should be alleviated.

And among them, the most comfortable is Doctor Zheng, for him who practices medicine, Baimao Mountain is tantamount to a treasure mountain, and the purpose is all medicinal herbs. At this moment, he was jumping up and down, directing Qi to pick flowers and grass for him. Looking at his spirit, Qiao Lan suddenly gave birth to a feeling of letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Qi Baibai learned that Doctor Zheng was a doctor, and he was a very powerful one, his admiration for him was like a surging river, endless, and he was originally obedient to Qiao Lanyan, but now only Doctor Zheng is the first to look forward, and there is quite a posture that Doctor Zheng points to where to fight.

Compared with the previous two days, his spirit was completely lively, and the smile on his face was more cheerful. The debts owed by the family have been repaid, and the remaining few taels of silver are given to my father and mother to catch medicine. If this trip can go well, there are still eighty taels of silver to take. Eighty taels, hehe, change a good doctor for your father and mother to grasp the medicine, you can marry a daughter-in-law for your brother, hehe, if you can ask a divine doctor to diagnose and treat your father, hehe, don't be too beautiful.

Originally, Qi Baibai only needed to take Qiao Lan and them to the foot of Baihua Mountain to turn back, but now, he decided to help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and go up the mountain with Qiao Lan and the divine doctor.

Qi Baibai's direction is very clear, and he is not lost in the dense forest, the mountains and rivers in front of him are doubtful, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. He said that there is a shortcut, not a lie, and he really knows a shortcut.

After climbing in the mountains for a long time, I came across a river, and then there was a sound of water flowing not far from the riverbank, which seemed to be a waterfall, well, it was really a waterfall! The drop was more than ten zhang, and there was fog below, so I couldn't see it really. The water of the waterfall is turbulent, and with the sound of roaring water, it will feel thrilling when you get close.

Qiao Lan really appreciated the majesty of the waterfall, when Qi Baibai said that this waterfall was a shortcut, she didn't react for a while, and after understanding what Qi Baibai meant, she was petrified on the spot, and the reaction of others was not much better.

Qi Baibai said that from this waterfall, there is a cave not far away, rest in the cave for one night, and tomorrow you can reach Baihua Mountain by walking for another day, as for how to go down from this waterfall, his method is simple and crude, that is, pinch your nose and jump down...... Skip down...... Skip down......

Qi Baibai said that he could find that this shortcut was also a mistake, and once accidentally fell into the river and was washed here, and then fell down the water to the bottom of the waterfall......

Qi Baibai said that he had already skipped three times and then went to the vicinity of Baihua Mountain......

Qi said in vain,......

Qiao Lan made a very childish move, she turned her gaze to Qi Baibai's feet, well, there is a shadow!! this thing is Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, others do things that are either dead or injured, and he is still like no one.

Although Qi Bai jumped the waterfall three times in vain and was still alive, maybe he was blessed with a great life, or maybe this waterfall just seemed to bluff people but couldn't kill people, Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan would not take this risk, even if they wanted to, it was impossible for others to agree.

When you come here, it is impossible to turn back and find another way, Feng Qixiang and Qiao Lan rest in place, and the others go to find a way.

Feng Si light work is good, was sent to test the height of the waterfall, he performed light work, light and fluttering, after a while to come up, said that this waterfall has to be twelve or thirteen zhang high, there is a very deep pool below, there are many reefs standing in the pool......

So, the group looked at Qi Baibai with a brush, and in their eyes, in addition to surprise, they were still surprised. The person concerned, Qi Baibai, was also surprised, "There is a reef below?!" Every time he jumped, he would be washed out by the water for a long distance, and he never looked back at the waterfall, "I didn't expect it to be so dangerous down there!"

"......" everyone was silent.

Dr. Zheng stroked his beard and said, "I really want to throw him down to see if he really can't die." "In fact, the person who wants to throw Qi Bai down the waterfall to see if he is really as big as a man is definitely not the only one who wants to throw Qi Baibai into the waterfall.

Qi Baibai was afraid, and when he heard Doctor Zheng's proposal, others still thought it was true, and suddenly his eyes were teary, and he begged with Doctor Zheng, "Don't, don't throw me down." Divine Doctor, I don't want to die yet, woo woo woo woo ......"

"You also said that this is a shortcut, don't take the lead, how can we believe you!" Doctor Zheng dragged Qi Baibai to the waterfall, and the latter stuck to a tree, "I don't know if this will happen, at most, at most I will take you around other roads, far away, but there are many people walking." Don't throw me down, I'll die. ”

"......" the crowd fell silent again. (To be continued.) )
