Xu Changlin is right, the Hulun tribe's station is really not far from this valley, but you need to climb a hillside, cross a small river, and then walk down a deserted hidden path to return to the clan.

It's just that by the time they arrived, they were already covered in stars and moons, and it was completely dark.

The little milk cat meowed: "Uh, Tang Tang, we will stay, right?" ”

Tang Tang: "......"

She had a headache and felt like she had fallen into a big hole.

Fortunately, the tribesmen had already prepared a rather sumptuous dinner and waited for their return. Many people heard that a strange little girl came from outside, and they immediately gathered at Xu Changlin's house curiously and came to see the strangeness.

Even if Tang Tang is a cheeky person, he can't help but be a little surprised when he is stared at by so many people's burning eyes.

"Ah, it's so beautiful, look at the white one!"

"Yes, yes, the corners of her eyes are bent upward, and she has such an aura in the blink of an eye!"

"It's just that it looks thin and weak, I don't know if it's good to give birth-"

Hearing these words, Tang Tang couldn't help but be made red-faced, causing everyone to laugh in unison, but the simple laughter full of kindness did not make people feel annoying, but felt more cordial.

Xu Changlin took the dinner prepared by the aunt next door, and in the narrow eyes of everyone's jokes, he helplessly coaxed everyone out and closed the door, and suddenly only Tang Tang and him were left in the house.

"Eat." He said.

Tang Tang nodded, and he was not polite at the moment. She had walked so many mountain roads that she had long been so hungry that her legs were weak, and now she had a cow in front of her, and she could eat it. What's more, although the recipe for these meals in front of me is simple and crude, they can't stand up to meat!

A bowl of sturdy cuts of meat!

Immediately, she who hadn't smelled meat for a long time brightened her eyes, and her saliva murmured and she ate directly with chopsticks.

"It smells so good!" The fragrant pieces of meat pulsed between her lips and tongue, full of rich gravy, and people couldn't help but be fascinated, and she couldn't help but admire it for a moment.

Seeing that she was eating with a happy face, Xu Changlin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "If it's delicious, eat more." ”

Tang Tang immediately agreed without hesitation, "En." ”

Fried, stewed, grilled, stewed, all kinds of meat dishes are like a sumptuous feast, which makes her eat to her heart's content. After his stomach was round and he had eaten a lot of meat beautifully, Tang Tang sighed comfortably, with a slight look on his face, "Did I eat too much?" I'm so sorry to trouble you with such sumptuous hospitality. ”

Xu Changlin smiled: "The land in the mountains is barren, we can't grow many crops, and we also eat meat as the staple food on weekdays. ”

Hearing him say this, Tang Tang's heart was ironed a little, "No wonder you often go down the mountain to change food." ”

"Well, that's why."

By the time they had finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, it was getting late, the crowd outside the door had already dispersed, and the village was extremely quiet. Tang Tang asked, "Shall we go back?" To be honest, her belly was round, her eyelids were so sleepy, she really didn't want to run back over the mountains again. However, he was worried that Jiang Zhonghua would take people to dig indiscriminately in the middle of the night and cause trouble, so he immediately asked Xu Changlin's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Xu Changlin kicked the question back and asked, "Do you want to go back?" ”

Tang Tang was silent for a moment, never thinking that this choice would fall on him. But out of consideration for Xu Changlin, she replied against her will, "Yes." ”

Xu Changlin couldn't help laughing. "Okay."

Looking at the moon in the sky, Tang Tang's heart burst into tears for a while. It's a pity that she can't go back on what she said, so she just let it go. Isn't it just a night trip? She is with her, and she can't walk in the middle of the night if she doesn't believe it!

To her surprise, this time Xu Changlin didn't even light the torch, and he didn't choose to take the same road as before, but took her to a cliff in the opposite direction.

At a glance, the trees below are lush and forested, forming an endless sea of trees, which looks particularly shocking. However, this towering height also makes people feel extremely frightened.

Tang Tang couldn't help but stumble for a while and asked, "How can this go on?" ”

Xu Changlin smiled, his slightly smiling eyes were exceptionally bright in the moonlight. He took something out of under a big tree on the edge of the cliff, lifted it up, and hung it on the rope on the tree.

Tang Tang noticed that a thick rope was firmly tied to one end of the tree, and the other end of the rope extended to the bottom of the cliff, and there was no trace in the distance.

Her heart suddenly sank, and an idea suddenly rose.

"It won't be—"

Xu Changlin smiled slightly, and before she could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed her waist and jumped directly by grabbing the rope.

"Ahhh

A series of screams erupted, echoing through the night sky.

Until the two of them landed, Tang Tang still covered his heart with palpitations, and couldn't stop his pounding heartbeat. It's just so exciting!

Seeing that she was about to attack when she took a deep breath, Xu Changlin suddenly "shh ”

Tang Tang's breath suddenly fell back into his throat. However, after walking two miles, he still couldn't see the figure he was talking about, and he couldn't help but be suspicious immediately. “…… You're not lying to me, are you? ”

Xu Changlin smiled and didn't answer, but it made Tang Tang firm up his thoughts. All the fright of jumping off the cliff was gone, and after this breath was gone, how could you blame him for jumping down without warning in advance? The rhythm has been interrupted at all!

Tang Tang followed behind him sullenly, and had no choice but to step on his shadow and vent his frustration. couldn't help but be secretly happy, Xu Changlin didn't seem to notice it at all.

When they arrived near the valley, they saw Jiang Zhonghua and others. Ignoring Xu Changlin's warning before, they ran directly to the deep and narrow hole and dug down with tools in a mess.

Seeing this scene, Tang Tang's heart suddenly lifted, and he said in a low voice: "What should I do?" ”

On the contrary, Xu Changlin was extremely calm, and he took a few steps closer under the cover of the bushes, "Don't worry, they can't succeed." ”

Tang Tang couldn't help but wonder: "Why? ”

To be honest, from her point of view, Jiang Zhonghua and the others brought exceptionally complete equipment. There were those with shovels, those with pickaxes, and even those who smashed the ground with sledgehammers that smashed stones. Where did Xu Changlin get his confidence, hiding here and sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, and he was not in a hurry to stop it?

Xu Changlin coldly watched as those people made a lot of noise, startled the birds in the trees around him, and explained in a low voice: "This cave has a peculiar geology and is the most solid. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move half a point. ”

Tang Tang was even more surprised when he heard him say this, "How did those treasures of the old ancestor hide in?" ”

Xu Changlin shook his head slowly, "We don't know either. ”

Sure enough, as he said, Jiang Zhonghua's people shoveled and dug up, even if they smashed the hammer viciously, they only picked up the floating soil on the surface, and the part buried in the ground was very much like a boulder, blocking their way forward.

Seeing that the legendary treasure place was in front of them, but they were blocked at the entrance of the cave and couldn't enter, they couldn't help but be anxious for a while, and there was a bit of anxiety and anger between their movements, which was quite eager.

"Secretary Jiang, what should I do? I can't smash it! ”

"Can you get a skinny guy to get into?"

"Hey, what crazy are you talking about? Look at the size of this hole, only a five- or six-year-old child can curl up and get into it, can you drill one for me? ”

"I'll just say try it, what are you anxious about with me?"

"Who's in a hurry? Who is in a hurry to come up with such an unreliable idea? ”

"Alright, okay, stop arguing! If you have this strength, let's smash it twice, what is the noise? ”

"What are you doing?"

For a while, Jiang Zhonghua's ears were filled with the sound of angry quarrels, which made him upset for no reason, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Enough!" Suddenly, he shouted, "What's all the noise? If you don't want to do it, go back! I have incorporated you into a political unit and given you wages and food stamps, not for you to fight! Whoever dares to say a word more, get out of me immediately! ”

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent, and everyone fell silent.

Jiang Zhonghua let out a long sigh, staring at the hole that did not move and could not pry open his mouth, but his mood became more and more anxious. Everyone's eyes fell silently on him, waiting for him to arrange, but his mind was also puzzled.

Is it really necessary to give up this opportunity that is easy to get?

Suddenly, a long wolf howl came out from the quiet forest, which was particularly frightening in the dark night, as if the wolf howl was close at hand, and it could pounce on the person in the next second.

Almost immediately, everyone present remembered the rumor that Niujiatun was attacked by wolves, and everyone's hearts suddenly shook.

Someone had the audacity to say to Jiang Zhonghua: "Secretary Jiang, it's too unsafe to have wolves around, let's go back first, and come back tomorrow." ”

Jiang Zhonghua was unwilling to let go of this opportunity tonight, and hesitated for a moment without speaking.

However, in the moment of his silence, the wolf howl suddenly sounded again, this time louder, and felt closer to the crowd, almost close to their ears.

Everyone took a step back in shock, staring at the dark woods with their hearts beating like thunder.

"If you go, it's not worth losing your life!"

"That's it, let's go, it's still too late, we'll be finished as soon as the wolves pounce!"

"Then I'll go too! Slow down, wait for me! ”

Seeing that the people he brought had run away, Jiang Zhonghua had no choice but to let go, pack up his tools and follow them and leave quickly.

Tang Tang couldn't help but smile and said to Xu Changlin: "This time, the snow wolf really helped a lot. ”

She was about to get up and go over to take a look, but she didn't expect Xu Changlin to suddenly press her shoulder and whisper, "There are still people." ”

Tang Tang: "!! ”

I saw two figures jumping down the hillside one step ahead of them, and one of them let out a realistic wolf howl from his mouth, driving Jiang Zhonghua's group away from a distance.

"Whew! A bunch of cowards, I can't tell the real from the fake! The man sneered unceremoniously, leaning down to look at the entrance of the cave, while the other stood beside him without saying a word.

The two of them only glanced at each other and then took a few steps back, giving way of some distance. Tang Tang thought that they had nothing to do, and when they were about to leave, they didn't expect that suddenly a match was polished, and it suddenly shone brightly in the dark night.

One of them clicked on the lead on the thing in his hand, made a sparkling sound, and threw it out casually.

Tang Tang was immediately shocked, and suddenly understood. "They're going to—"

However, Xu Changlin didn't have time to stop her, so he could only lean over to protect her body and press her down violently.

"Boom!"

Immediately, there was an earth-shattering sound in the valley, and the bright light from the explosion shone brightly in the darkness.

"Heh, it's long overdue, don't you say, little tree?" The man chuckled, but there was indescribable danger and chill in his voice, "Go in, if you mess up again this time, you won't want to come out alive." ”

Poplar gave him a silent look, turned and jumped.
