Chapter 721: Satisfying Hunger
After listening to their words, Su Manman checked the mechanism on the entire stone gate very carefully.
The door could be closed from the outside, and when it did, the roof pattern would return to what she had seen at the beginning, and the wall of the dark room below would move back to its place.
Whoever enters here will not be able to get out unless they complete the puzzle above their heads like them.
So as long as you control the mechanism at the door, you are not afraid of being locked inside and not being able to get out.
Similarly, even if you are locked inside, as long as you complete the puzzle, you will still be able to open the wall of the exit, and you will still be able to get out.
In this way, everyone can rest assured that it is better to put those gold and silver jewels in the secret room before, so that they can also wait for rescue in the same place, and they don't have to worry about falling into any pit again.
Zhao Xiang sent a few people down the mountain, and his warrant was also taken down the mountain, so that if his subordinates went down the mountain smoothly, they could go to the surrounding government offices for help, and they needed help.
The centipede looked at the woods on the side and licked his lips: "Boss, I'll take someone to hunt, let's have a hot meal!"
"Okay, let's go!" Now Zheng Jingyi's eyes lit up when he thought of meat such as rabbit meat and venison, he was so greedy, he had never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, and now he was gluttonous for a few bites.
"Big guy pick up some dry firewood, and then take it to the dark river to cook, so as not to attract outsiders from the smoke!" Wang Kaizhi is the most detailed in their center, and he thinks a lot.
Then the rest of the people hunted and gathered firewood, each with their own way of doing their own thing.
In order to be familiar with the surrounding terrain, Zheng Jingyi also took Su Manman to pick wild vegetables, and for so many days, let alone meat, he saw the leaves of the trees also picked down and nibbled on two bites to taste.
It seemed that there had just been a light rain outside, and mushrooms, fungus, and even white fungus were all coming out, and some tender wild vegetables were also sprinkling, and there were still water droplets on them, and they all picked a lot.
He even dug up a lot of bird eggs on the trees, picked up a lot of wild eggs, and went back to make a few pots of wild vegetable and egg soup, which would definitely be delicious, and Su Manman felt that he wanted to drool.
Zhao Xiang brought a few pots on the way when they came, but unfortunately when they were underground, they only had pots and no firewood, and in the end they were blind.
Occasionally, there are a large number of birds flying in a certain place in the mountains and forests, which should be centipede faces, they are chasing prey everywhere, and everywhere they go, they must be very lively.
Su Manman looked into the distance, and didn't know how to give it to her
Will the bird of faith meet the treasure, will it bring her message?
She was not too worried about the safety of the treasure, and anyone who encountered such a sharp bird would only be willing to bow to the wind, and if it was defeated, it would flee faster than anyone else.
When Su Manman and Zheng Jingyi returned, a fire had already been set up by the dark river, and it was burning.
There were several different animals on the fire, and everyone was around the fire, looking deeply, as if they wanted to go up and nibble on it even if they were not familiar, and they were all a little panicked!
Zheng Jingyi's men cleaned all the things they brought back, and he himself took some firewood and re-lit it, and then set up a pot on it.
Naturally, he couldn't cook, but he knew who his subordinates had the best skills, and then he called someone to cook.
Su Manman squatted on the side like this, she knew that her image at the moment must be extremely embarrassing, and she was hanging three feet on the edge of the pot, and she couldn't wait to poke into the pot!
She looked at both sides embarrassedly, and when she saw that all the people had the same virtue as her, she was relieved, rubbed her neck and continued to watch, occasionally wiping her saliva, for fear of dripping into the pot.
Wild vegetable egg drop soup is very easy to cook, as soon as the water is boiled, the wild vegetables are rolled in the water a few times, and then a few egg flowers are just beaten, the fragrance can float out of the two miles, and the gluttonous worms in the human stomach will be hooked out.
As soon as the soup was good, everyone flocked to it and came over with the old bamboo bowl that had just been chopped.
"Ahem, give me the back line, are there any rules!"
Zheng Jingyi relied on his high status, squeezed through the crowd that flocked over, and first scooped a full bowl for Su Manman, which was full of soup with egg flowers, and after scooping a bowl for himself, he didn't forget to scold everyone, "I don't know how to respect the chief at all!"
Then he swaggered and went to eat with Su Manman.
Su Manman enjoyed the special treatment without saying a word, this soup is really delicious, it has been fresh in people's hearts, drinking this bowl of soup seems to be reborn, her beautiful eyes are narrowed.
Zheng Jingyi was also drinking tea on the side, his eyes were still patrolling, to see who had roasted the pheasant, and then went up to break two big chicken legs, and when he came back, he put them in front of Su Manman.
His behavior made everyone laugh, and he was also a wife slave in the future, and he couldn't stop being glared at by Zheng Jingyi several times, and he didn't really take him as a chief at this time!
This meal can be said to be the most enjoyable meal he has eaten in such a long time, no anxiety, no apprehension, no panic, only the food in front of them, as long as the next action goes well, they can return to the capital soon.
After another two nights, those who went down the mountain came back, and the people sent down the mountain by Zhao Xiang were all scouts, with fast feet and good endurance, and they came back after resting for two nights.
"It was a good ride outside, we met a leopard on the road and ducked away. There is a small village at the bottom of the mountain, we should have come to the other side of this mountain, there are no traps in the forest, and we can safely go down the mountain when we turn back and go down the mountain. ”
When they go up the mountain, they will set traps to prevent people from digging treasures up the mountain, but the back is the path taken by their own people, so they will not set traps anymore, which is the normal thinking of people.
After listening to the report from these subordinates, everyone was relieved.
Although the road down the mountain was smooth, it was not so easy to walk, and they had to go down the mountain to ask for help, so it took a lot of effort to complete.
"I'm waiting to come back first, there is a Yuanyang army stationed not far from the mountain, the warrant has been sent up, they will follow our people up the mountain, and there will be heavy guards under the mountain after that, opening the way for us!"
"Yuanyangjun, their leader is surnamed Chang?" Wang Kaizhi suddenly asked.
"It's the surname Chang, how do you know?" asked the messenger very strangely.
Wang Kaizhi smiled and didn't speak, there are few official factions in the court that he doesn't know, that Changsheng general is a staunch royalist faction, and it shouldn't be a problem to be escorted by his people.
