534.Chapter 534: The Valley Is Missing
In the evening, Luo Xu arrived, and the four of them arrived at the cabin located at the top of the mountain. As for why there is a log cabin here, Lao Zhangtou's explanation is that it was left by the old hunter.
For some hunters, it takes several days to enter the mountains, and supplies are very problematic. Later, someone built such a small wooden house on the mountain, and stored some food in it, such as dried meat, salted fish, and other things that are not perishable, and then stored some firewood, which could be used as a supply station.
Anyone who enters the mountain can use it as a supply station, but there is an unwritten rule that you must replenish as much as you consume in it.
It's an unwritten rule, but everyone is following it, because everyone knows how important this cabin is, and sometimes it's a place to save lives.
When he came to the front of the cabin, the old man walked forward quickly, reached under the eaves, took out a key from it, and opened the door.
"Xiao Luo, you rest inside first. I'm going to get some dry wood before it's completely dark. We brought food, so we didn't need to consume the food here, but fire was indispensable at night, and it was very cold in the mountains at night. ”
Lao Zhangtou called the thundercloud, and the two went to find dry firewood.
Luo Xu and Ziqing entered the cabin, it was very clean, there were no cobwebs, and there must have been people who often stayed here for the night.
There were a lot of dried meat strips and salted fish hanging in the house, as well as a pile of dry firewood, and there were pots and stoves in the small wooden house.
Ziqing said: "The person who built this small cabin really has a heart, how many people have made it convenient." ”
"yes. Luo Xu said.
Ziqing laid down the blanket she brought, "Lang Jun, you can rest and rest." ”
Luo Xu lay down and closed his eyes. Being able to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is completely dependent on his willpower, if it weren't for his strong willpower, he would have fainted halfway up the mountain. As soon as he lay down, a huge feeling of exhaustion came over him like a wave, drowning him.
Ziqing sat next to her, listening to Luo Xu's even breathing, and a look of worry appeared on her beautiful face.
Not to mention whether this place is a monkey valley, even if the monkey valley is found, if that person refuses to help, Luo Xu will still be unable to escape death.
The situation is not optimistic, Ziqing did not show it in front of Luo Xu, whenever he was alone, he would always think of some terrible things. She was afraid of losing Luo Xu, and even thought that if Luo Xu was not in this world, she would commit suicide to be martyred.
After dark, Lao Zhang Tou and Lei Yun returned to the cabin. They brought back a lot of dry firewood. Old Zhang Tou skillfully lit a fire and lit up the cabin without electric lights.
At night, the temperature in the mountains drops dramatically, making it feel chilly.
Luo Xu was still asleep, Lao Zhangtou looked at Ziqing, and asked in a low voice, "Is he okay?"
Ziqing nodded, "I'm just too tired." ”
Lao Zhangtou said: "Your man is a man, he can really hold on." On the way up the mountain, I thought he would definitely not be able to get up, but I didn't expect to hold it up. ”
Ziqing smiled slightly, unable to hide the bitterness in her heart.
Thundercloud distributed food to the crowd, and everyone ate around the campfire.
Lao Zhangtou said: "It is not safe in this mountain and old forest, and there are many wild beasts. You may not be able to see it during the day, but at night you will come out and make trouble. So we're going to have to keep vigil tonight, and everybody has to get up when there's a situation. Thundercloud, I'm watching the mission of the vigil, let's do it with our grandfather and grandson. One of them is physically sick, and the other is a woman, so they are not counted. ”
Ziqing said: "Everyone can sleep in peace, don't worry, I know what is going on within a radius of a few miles." ”
Lao Zhangtou remembered how Ziqing had allowed them to cross the border in the afternoon, and then he remembered her ability, and thought that this woman had magical powers.
Lei Yun had long known how powerful Ziqing was, and knew that he was not talking nonsense, so he smiled and said, "Old Grandpa Zhang, then let's sleep steadily." With Sister Ziqing here, even if the tiger comes, we don't have to worry. ”
Lao Zhangtou smiled: "That's good, who doesn't want to sleep well." Then it's decided, little Leizi, go to sleep, you have to hurry tomorrow morning. ”
They fell asleep by the fire. Ziqing slept next to Luo Xu, and before he knew it, the night had passed.
At dawn, the firewood in the fire happened to be burned out. When the four of them woke up, they ate something and then continued on their way.
It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, yesterday it was up the mountain, today it's down the mountain, and the road is even more difficult. Luo Xu was weak, and when he was collecting dry firewood last night, Lao Zhangtou got Luo Xu and a tree branch down, made it look like a cane, and let Luo Xu go down the mountain on crutches.
Along the way, Ziqing kept walking beside Luo Xu, and she wanted to help Luo Xu several times, but Luo Xu refused.
To be honest, Luo Xu hates his current state very much, which makes him feel like a waste, stored in the world, and needs to be taken care of by others everywhere.
After a few breaks in the middle, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Zhangtou, who was walking in the front, stopped, his white eyebrows locked.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Lao Zhang said: "Something is wrong, something is wrong......"
Lei Yun walked over and asked, "Old Grandpa Zhang, what's wrong?"
Lao Zhangtou said: "The road is right, why is that valley gone? Originally, when we arrived here, we should be able to see the valley, but you see, now when we look down from here, where can we see any valley!"
Lei Yun said: "The terrain on the mountain is so complicated, Grandpa Zhang, are you going wrong?"
Lao Zhangtou said unhappily: "What nonsense are you talking about! I have been collecting medicine for more than 80 years, and I have never taken the wrong path! I dare to guarantee that the route is absolutely correct." ”
Lei Yun touched his head, "That's strange, the valley won't move, is it possible that it will hide?"
Ziqing said: "Don't argue, you are all waiting for me here, I'll go up there and take a look." ”
After speaking, Zi Qing had already turned into a streamer and flew away, leaving behind a dumbfounded thundercloud and Lao Zhangtou.
Ziqing, who was flying in the air, looked down and saw that the mountains below were shrouded, and she couldn't see it really, but this didn't hinder her vision, and she didn't find the existence of the valley.
Ziqing hovered in the air for a moment, and flew down with nothing.
"How's it going?" asked the old man.
Ziqing shook her head, "I didn't see the valley." ”
Lao Zhangtou touched the back of his head, frowned, and said, "Could it be that I really went wrong? Impossible, I haven't taken the wrong path for decades." ”
Lei Yun didn't say anything, thinking that Lao Zhangtou must have made a mistake, after all, he was in his nineties, and memory loss was inevitable.
"Sister Ziqing, what should we do now?"
