Chapter 68 Water Lotus
In a flash, five days have passed, and the time has come to November 1st.
In the past five days, the connection of the entire expedition team has obviously become much tighter, and the sense of vigilance is also higher, almost from end to end, and there has never been a tragedy like the previous 96 team.
After all, although Chan Shao is wealthy, in this industry, reputation is even more important than money.
At least at this stage, when the main force is still on the periphery of the mountain, there will be a large-scale accident, which will also be a considerable blow to his prestige.
Even if Canshao treats many people as cannon fodder, it is definitely impossible not to cherish feathers when the news has been kept in touch with the outside world.
And with the red-haired monkey incident, Li Ping'an's status in the No. 97 group has also risen in a straight line.
Zhang Hongqiang no longer regards Li Ping'an as a junior brother, but calls Li Ping'an a brother and brother completely equally.
Yan Ling, Yan Li, and Zhang Xiaojing also completely regard Li Ping'an as a reliable partner.
Of course, there will definitely be less ridicule.
However, unlike the previous joking ridicule~~, Yan Li and Zhang Xiaojing's eyes when they looked at Li Ping'an obviously had a new change.
After all, Li Ping'an, a big cow, is so old, and he has not even stepped into the awakening realm, he already has such means, and people are so down-to-earth and handsome, they are not stupid, how can they not be mindful?
"Big Niu, you can get to the pigeon building tomorrow. I remember that there is a big reservoir in front of the pigeon building, and when the time comes, see if there is time, your brother Qiang will give you a few fatty fresh fish to try!"
In the shade of the trees in the afternoon, Zhang Hongqiang comfortably lit a cigarette and looked at the front of the mountains with great admiration.
By this time, Li Ping'an had already been familiar with Zhang Hongqiang anymore, and said with a smile: "That relationship is good, the little brother can be blessed by Brother Qiang." But, Brother Qiang, what's going on with those monkey-haired monkeys? Why haven't you seen them for the past few days? I've always felt a little unsure. ”
Zhang Hongqiang really didn't say anything, but his straight tendon made Li Ping'an speechless.
Although this kind of temperament is not a bad thing, it is a friend worth befriending, but in this kind of environment at this time, it is obviously exhaustive, Zhang Hongqiang is very arrogant, even if Li Ping'an and Lin Pujia summarized a lot of confidential information, they can't explain it to him at all.
can only remind this brother to pay more attention in a more straightforward way.
You must know that Yan Ling and the three women, as well as the children and the elderly at home, are all counting on him.
Zhang Hongqiang heard Li Ping'an talk about this, and his eyebrows suddenly raised: "Da Niu, I was just trying to talk to you about this." You're a little cub, you look like a cow, but you're actually better than a monkey. You should have noticed it too, we have been in the mountain for almost a hundred kilometers, and we have not found any other powerful beasts?"
Li Ping'an nodded: "Brother Qiang, is it possible, these red-haired monkeys have already reigned supreme in this mountain, and they have driven away or even killed these powerful beasts?"
Zhang Hongqiang took a deep puff of cigarette butt and exhaled a long puff of smoke: "Da Niu, don't say it, there is really such a possibility! Although we are in the brigade now, we must be more careful." This thing is too fierce, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!"
Seeing that Zhang Hongqiang was on the road, Li Ping'an was also a little relieved.
He said, "Brother Qiang, what's the situation at the headquarters? Do we have any accurate tasks here these days?"
Zhang Hongqiang smiled: "We have been resting for a few days, and I believe that the mission will come soon." Da Niu, our brother didn't say that if you can get benefits, your brother must not lose you!"
Li Ping'an also smiled: "Brother Qiang, my own brother, what are you polite about? This trip to the mountains is not peaceful, we have to go back safe and sound while we get benefits!"
Zhang Hongqiang laughed: "Da Niu, my brother likes your words! When we go back, our brothers will definitely have a good drink." ”
…………
Li Ping'an and the others didn't wait too long, and not long after he finished chatting with Zhang Hongqiang, the young assistant who led the team issued a new order.
Their No. 97 team, together with the other three teams, will set off early tomorrow morning to explore the way in the direction of the Pigeon Tower Reservoir.
With the previous experience, and now that they have entered the mountains, Li Ping'an and his party obviously dare not slack off.
While making ample preparations, tonight is also a good rest and recuperation.
However, Li Ping'an also has very good news.
When Zhang Hongqiang was young, he once came to this pigeon building reservoir with his master, that is, Zhang Xiaojing's grandfather, and was very familiar with the surrounding terrain, which also saved Li Ping'an a lot of trouble.
Early in the morning of the next day, the group set off and went straight to the direction of the pigeon building reservoir.
The Pigeon Tower Reservoir is also the last relatively accurate coordinate that people have mastered in the Wudang Mountain area so far.
As for the immortal gate of the Taoist family in Wudang Mountain back then, I have never heard of anyone looking for it.
Especially after this great change in heaven and earth, this change is probably even more amazing!
Although the mountain is steep, the trees are dense, and the thorns are thick, but Li Ping'an and his party are fully prepared, and they are all recuperating, plus Zhang Hongqiang, who is familiar with the terrain, led the team, and did not take too many detours, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, they came to this large reservoir with a radius of more than ten miles.
However, the roads, villages, and fields around it have long been integrated with the mountains, and there are almost no places around that are too peaceful.
Standing on the mountain and looking down, it is like a dark green pearl between the steep cliffs.
Zhang Hongqiang couldn't help but sigh: "The changes in this world are really too big. All of my experiences are virtual, and this time, we're completely lucky. If you memorize the idea, you might not be able to get here at night. ”
After a brief rest, the group set up camp on this slightly gentler hill.
Yan Ling reported to the main force of the headquarters, Yan Li and Zhang Xiaojing packed up their lunch, and Li Ping'an and Zhang Hongqiang sat on the rocks that were very hot in the sun and made their butts very comfortable to watch the scenery.
Zhang Hongqiang introduced Li Ping'an: "Da Niu, look, there is a beach over there, which is very beautiful. My master and I have fished there before. I heard the master say that in the early years, there used to be a fish restaurant here that was very famous, and it was simply famous. It's a pity, now, it's all a cloud of the past..."
Li Ping'an couldn't help but nodded.
After the arrival of this stormy era of mutation, human beings actually don't have much room for resistance at all, and can only force themselves to accept it.
Fortunately, even if this change is drastic, it is not devastating, and it finally leaves people with some land to keep alive and make a living.
Chatting and chatting, Zhang Hongqiang just wanted to light a cigarette, but Li Ping'an's pupils shrank sharply, grabbed his big hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Qiang, look over there, on the cliff over there, did we meet those red-haired monkeys before?"
"Uh...."
Zhang Hong came back to his senses violently~, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Li Ping'an's finger, his eyes widened violently: "Damn, big bull, it's really! There are seven or eight of them! Let's report to the headquarters quickly!"
Li Ping'an shook his head lowly: "Brother Qiang, don't worry." Look~, what are they doing?"
Zhang Hongqiang also reacted, and his eyes widened to take a closer look.
Yan Ling and the others also discovered the abnormality of Li Ping'an and the others at this time, and they were busy putting down what they were doing.
Li Ping'an made a silent gesture to them, signaling them to hide behind the thorns beside the two of them.
At this time, Zhang Hongqiang finally understood, couldn't help but swallow hard, and said with some difficulty: "Big cow, they, do they want to pick these lotus flowers in the water?"
I saw that at the bottom of the cliff in front of me, in the faint green water on the shady side, there was a very beautiful lotus platform.
These seven or eight big red-haired monkeys, with the help of the thick vines around the cliffs, seem to want to pick the lotus seeds in these lotus platforms.
Li Ping'an nodded slowly: "Eight out of ten, nine out of ten!"
"Holy..."
Zhang Hongqiang took a low sip, and his eyes were full of semen.
Although he is straight, he is not stupid, and he naturally understands that the things that these red-haired monkeys have a crush on must not be simple things!
Busy said in a low voice: "Da Niu, you kid is okay." Today, this is a collaboration with our brothers to make a fortune!"
Yan Ling's three daughters also understood the situation at this time, and their beautiful eyes were a little shining.
To put it bluntly, they sacrificed their lives to go into the mountains this time to earn the money from Canshao's side, which is only part of it, and more importantly~, they want to take advantage of the shade of Canshao's big tree to make some extra money!
After all, such a terrifying change has occurred in the mountains, and if a weak chicken squad like them only enters the mountain with their own strength, it is completely an old birthday star eating arsenic------ and he thinks that his life is too long!
Only under the big tree can you enjoy the shade!
"Big Niu, what should we do now?"
Although Zhang Hongqiang was excited, he also understood at this time that he was indeed much stronger than the big bull around him in terms of experience, but in terms of means and decisiveness, he was really not the opponent of his big bull brother!
Especially when Li Ping'an discovered this matter, he naturally had to rely on Li Ping'an's opinion first.
Li Ping'an's eyes narrowed tightly.
His eyesight is much better than that of Zhang Hongqiang and Yan Ling, he can clearly see many details, and he can feel the nervousness and caution of those red-haired monkeys about these lotuses.
After a moment, Li Ping'an said in a low voice: "Brother Qiang, Sister Ling, we are all our own family, and I won't say a word about brothers! One, report this matter to Canshao's headquarters, we may be able to get some reward, and there is no danger!"
"Two!"
Li Ping'an turned his head and glanced at the eyes of several people: "Let's eat this piece of meat ourselves!" The advantage is that it is definitely tens of thousands of times better than what Canshao gave, but the risk is also very great, maybe he will die!"
"!"
Zhang Hongqiang took a low sip: "Da Niu, do you still want to use this? Why did we sacrifice our lives to come here? Isn't it just to do a big job, so that our wives and children can live a stable life? Da Niu, you Brother Qiang did this! How do you do it, you come and command, you Brother Qiang, I listen! I estimate, I will deal with five red-haired monkeys by myself, and the problem should not be too big!"
Li Ping'an couldn't help but smile and shook Zhang Hongqiang's big hand heavily: "Okay! With Brother Qiang's words, I will be relieved!"
Zhang Hongqiang was a little anxious, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Big cow, they are about to do it, so what are we waiting for? Slaughter these red-haired monkeys first!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but want to get up.
Fortunately, Li Ping'an was prepared, and he was busy holding Zhang Hongqiang, but with Li Ping'an's strength, he was almost pushed out by Zhang Hongqiang's bullish excitement.
Hurriedly said: "Brother Qiang, what are you anxious about! Have you seen that those red-haired monkeys seem to be very careful, and seem to be a little afraid of these lotus flowers in the water?"
"Uh...."
Zhang Hongqiang was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to say something.
Next to him, his wife Yan Ling covered his big mouth and reprimanded in a low voice: "Qiangzi, your brain is stupider than a pig, don't command indiscriminately!
As she spoke, she looked at Li Ping'an's eyes with beautiful eyes: "Brother Da Niu, these days, we all know the roots, and you saved my sister's life, and I have nothing to say to you!
Next to them, Yan Li and Zhang Xiaojing also nodded heavily, their beautiful eyes were sincere, full of trust in Li Ping'an!
