Chapter 63: Betting
Wang Ziqing grabbed her hand and shouted, "Silly girl, what are you going to do!"
"Yo ho, I've always counted when I speak. The voice sounded again, "I have lived here for decades, so I know everything about it, and I know exactly where your friends are now." ”
"Very well," Yu Miao cried out, "if you promise to take me to the heart of the witch horse, I will cut a piece of flesh from me." ”
Wang Ziqing couldn't stop it, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Sister Yumiao, you're crazy!"
"Boss, Wu Ma Xin is in danger now, and he is worried about his life at any time. We don't have a solution, if my piece of meat can be exchanged for a witch's heart, and can be exchanged for a country's people, why not?"
"Don't worry, we will always have a way, and Xiao Wu must have a way to get out safely. Wang Ziqing didn't want to save Wu Maxin, but he still had reason.
"Boss, we don't have so much time, one more day of delay, the more dangerous the witch horse's heart will be, then the situation will change, the soldiers will be disturbed, the bones will be exposed, the entire Duanguo will be stained red with blood, and thousands of innocent people will fall into the abyss of no return. ”
"This ......" Wang Ziqing felt deeply remorseful, he came to the blacksmith shop to find himself just to find Wu Ma Xin, if it weren't for his paranoia, maybe things didn't need to be so complicated, and they wouldn't have developed to the point where they are today.
Yu Miao saw Wang Ziqing's thoughts, and said: "Boss, don't blame yourself, you can't blame you for this, think about it carefully, Yu Ran who suddenly appeared, and the amnesia in front of the wooden house, I'm afraid that someone deliberately made us have a misunderstanding, just don't want me to see Wu Ma Xin." ”
"No, no matter what, I can't let you make such a big sacrifice, if you want to cut mine. ”
"Boss, it's okay. Yu Miao smiled sadly.
The voice sounded impatiently: "Yo Ho, isn't it just a piece of meat, it won't be long before it grows, as for the two of you mother-in-law here." I'll talk to Eagle and see who I want. With that, the voice turned into a soft mutter, and occasionally a few eagle cries, presumably one of them and one eagle negotiating.
Wang Ziqing didn't pay attention to the nonsense of the voice, hugged Yu Miao in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be impulsive, we have to be calm, think of a way, there must be a way." ”
It was the first time Yu Miao was held like this, and it was the first time that someone made her feel that she could rely on, she could sense that everything he said was true, and she also felt how he felt about herself, and she couldn't help but blush.
Finding a girlfriend with the ability to sense is definitely a game for the brave!
Wang Ziqing didn't think so much, he has been racking his brains to think of solutions, he is not used to pretending his own affairs to others, not to mention that this guy who has been hiding in the dark can't make him trust, if he is at his mercy, it is likely that not only will he not be able to find Wu Maxin, but he and Yu Miao will also fall into the abyss.
Suddenly, Wang Ziqing shouted: "Why don't we make a bet, if we find it first, you will roast your eagle for the girl to eat, and if you find it first, we will cut a piece of meat to feed your eagle." ”
Yu Miao looked at Wang Ziqing in surprise, he smiled and nodded, his eyes full of confidence.
After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again: "Yo ho, this is interesting, then we will compete, if you lose, you will ask for a piece of meat on the inner thigh of this man." ”
"Deal!" Wang Ziqing shouted without hesitation.
A protesting eagle cry sounded in the darkness, and the voice comforted: "Yo ho, don't worry, they can't win." ”
"Boss, do you really have a way?" Yu Miao also calmed down at this time, facing such a stranger who didn't know whether he was friend or foe, he really shouldn't be impulsive.
"Hmm. Wang Ziqing confidently pulled Yu Miao, "I have an idea, you can help me analyze and analyze." ”
"Hmm. ”
The hive maze is too large and the paths are complicated, and the main problem lies in two points, how to ensure that you don't miss the witch horse and how to find the exit again.
This is the easiest and most practical, mark the entrance as 1, mark the adjacent stone house as 2, and then explore inward layer by layer, constantly increasing the mark value, and you can walk out along the order of the decrease in the mark value when you return, and you need to use a mark that can be understood by the witch horse's heart. They are much happier than Wu Ma Xin and Mu Yang Ting, because they enter through the entrance, and they don't need to grope for the map, as long as they can find this place again.
Wang Ziqing remembered that when he was a child, his brothers played a game of hidden treasure, and if everyone found a fun thing together and wanted to keep it, they would use this game to decide. The other four people all returned to the cave, Wang Ziqing buried this thing alone, and then measured it in eight directions with steps, each step will be drawn in a hidden place with strange symbols that only they understand to represent the number, ants are 1, mosquitoes are 2, earthworms are 3, beetles are 4, ladybugs are 5, praying mantis is 6, bees are 7, dragonflies are 8, butterflies are 9, sparrows are 10, and they can also be superimposed, for example, an ant lying on an earthworm is also 4, and a bird has two ants or a mosquito in its stomach are 12, and you can even use the addition and subtraction symbols to increase the difficulty, draw a knife to represent subtraction. Of the numbers written in the eight directions, only one is correct, and the others are all wrong, so in addition to the number, another symbol will be used in the vicinity to represent whether the number is correct or not, the sheep's head represents the correct and the bull's head represents the error.
After everything is ready, Wang Ziqing lit a piece of incense, shouted "start", and the others rushed to the place where the treasure was hidden and began to look for numbers, until they found the smallest correct number, they could measure the location of the excavation, whoever dug it first belonged to whom, if the incense burned out and did not find it, then it belonged to Wang Ziqing, if he encountered something he particularly liked, Wang Ziqing usually wrote dozens of layers of numbers, and wrote in particularly hidden places, on the leaves, in the bark, under the stones, in the river, and even broke the mushrooms to write inside. The five brothers will have fun every time, even ignoring what they are fighting for. Lou Yiming was always the fastest, but he repeatedly guessed wrong and returned empty-handed, Wang Ziqing thought of this, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pain again.
"That's great!" Yu Miao said happily, suddenly remembering that Hai Dongqing's eccentric master, she pouted into the darkness and whispered, "Be careful not to let that person destroy it, or change it indiscriminately." ”
"Sister, relax, these symbols are only recognized by us, and others don't know what is written, and they are all written in our usual hidden places, and ordinary people can't even think of it. Wang Ziqing smiled and waved his hand, and whispered, "I will sign the road we walked through with a sheep's head, and the others with a cow's head, so that they can find us by walking in the direction of the sheep's head and the number increases, and the direction in which the number decreases is the exit." ”
Yu Miao jumped up from the ground happily, pulled Wang Ziqing and left: "Without further ado, then let's go quickly." ”
"Uh, okay. Wang Ziqing threw the half-sucked Maka on the ground, made a fire with his fingers, and entered the maze together.
The first two floors of the stone house have been explored before, so it is just a mark, seeing that Yu Miao is not completely convinced, Wang Ziqing asked her to enter the next stone house first, and he stayed in the stone house to make a mark, and when he was done, he called her to look for it, and he hugged his shoulders with a smug look.
"Cut!" Yu Miao was naturally not convinced, rummaged everywhere, and finally found a mark of a sheep's head for a long time, and the others could not be found at all. Wang Ziqing laughed, pointed to a moss in the corner, the leaves were all rolled together, and the penultimate leaf roll was unfolded, and a mosquito could be seen painted inside.
Yu Miao let out a sigh of relief, now her heart is steady, such a perverted position, coupled with such a strange mark, how can anyone find out, even if she happens to find out, I probably don't understand what it means, I can't see it, this big guy is quite thoughtful.
"There's one more problem. "Yu Miao is a sensitive and delicate little woman," how could Wu Ma Xin be sure that there would be a mark in the room?
"There's a mark on the front of the wall that you just ignored. Wang Ziqing pointed to a bunch of strange and messy lines and said, "This is the five of us, standing on the hill of our house." ”
Yu Miao looked over, and couldn't help but be stunned, deeply shocked by the man's clumsy and rough art, where can you see what he said, okay, Wu Ma can understand it.
Wang Ziqing was quite proud, and said: "This mark is placed in the clear eye, Wu Ma Xin can easily know that we have been here, and after he came back from the empty mountain, he has a very strong sense of the five elements, even if this mark is destroyed, I believe it doesn't matter." ”
Yu Miao then put her mind at ease, pushed away the stone slab, and walked inside, the first few layers of stone houses were empty, presumably close to the entrance, there were many people or beasts who came in, and they had already been swept away, or they had fled. Wang Ziqing was painting earthworms in the bird's belly, Yu Miao had already pushed away the stone slab in a hurry, a gust of wind hit, so that Yu Miao couldn't help but shiver, Wang Ziqing also felt the abnormality, and hurriedly flicked his fingers, several fireballs flew out, lighting up the stone house, there was a cow lying in it, with a white head, one eye in the center, a snake tail, exuding a turbid stench all over his body, as if he was sleeping, motionless.
There are many demon beasts in the secret realm, Wang Ziqing and Yu Miao have already thought of this, but the previous stone houses were empty, and they were still startled when one appeared coldly.
The voice sounded again: "Yo ho, this thing is called a dragon, it exudes the breath of plague all over its body, and there is no cure if it is stained, you should be careful." Then, with the cry of an eagle.
In Yu Miao's opinion, the appearance of that voice in the darkness was more terrifying than the demon beast in front of him, could it be that the mysterious person had been following them all along, and he shuddered even more when he thought of this.
Yu Miao said loudly: "Why do you keep following us? Could it be that you can't find anyone at all, that's why you want to follow us all the time?"
The voice paused and said, "Yo Ho, I naturally have my own way, but seeing that you are walking too slowly, and grinding and chirping every time you go to a stone house, I am afraid that if I win you too quickly, it will not be fun." However, I'm also a little curious to see how you can find it. Forget it, let's not talk about it, that thing was woken up. With that, the voice was gone, replaced by a roar.
"This guy is so annoying, if you don't help, you can make trouble!" Yu Miao cursed in her heart, pulled out the fish kiss dagger, and thought of a way to clean up the guy in front of her.
"Yo ho, let's nag a few words. In the midst of the confrontation, the voice sounded again, "But if you encounter a plague, prevent it from dispersing with water, and burn its corpse with fire, the plague can be extinguished. ”
"Get out!" the two said in unison.
"Giggles" came the shrill laughter of eagles in the darkness!
