Qian Chong in front of everyone and told the story of the wooden house and the grain storage inside in detail...

Of course, he didn't say a word about the conflict with the middle-aged man, because he and Shen Junru had promised the middle-aged man that they would hide the other party's past misdeeds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After listening to Qian Chong's description, Lu Qingxuan was the first to wonder: "This is really amazing, how can there be people living in this desperate valley surrounded by mountains?" And where did the people who lived there go at this time? ”

Even the hairy bearded man was amazed, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that a legendary post station?" ”

Tilis was originally surprised, but when she heard the hairy bearded man say this, she couldn't help but turn her pretty face to him, and questioned, "What do you mean by the station?" ”

The bearded man then explained: "I read such a text in a middle school Chinese textbook back then. Some well-wishers built a house on the mountain road where there was no village in front and no shop behind, and added a lot of food and some daily necessities to provide food and lodging for those pedestrians who could not pass through it when it was dark. So, the house that provides halfway tips and accommodation for pedestrians is a post station! ”

Hearing this, Tilis almost couldn't believe it: "Wow, is there really such a place in your China?" Or is it just a legend? ”

Shen Junru said at this time: "In Chinese history, there are indeed many post stations, which are generally set up on official roads, providing services such as eating, resting, and transferring horses for those government agencies when they communicate. Because in the past, there were no modern transmission tools, and they all relied on horseback to transmit local situations or military information. ”

Qian Chong smiled at this time: "In Chinese history, there have been many poems about post stations. However, the place we encountered was definitely not a caravanserais, but a refuge! ”

Lu Qingxuan's gaze turned to Qian Chong again, and asked with great interest: "Why is there a refuge here, can Mr. Qian tell me about his high opinion?" ”

Qian Chong analyzed intuitively: "Because this is a 'desperate valley' surrounded by mountains, it is not a mountain road, it can be said to be an inaccessible place, how can there be a post station?" Of course, this is not the paradise that was legendary in ancient China. Because it is a wilderness, it does not produce food, and even depends on rain for drinking water. People can't live here for a long time. It is necessary to rely on the transportation of food and all daily necessities from the outside world. If life is so inconvenient, why do people live here? There are only two answers, the first of which is a scientific research station set up here by the local government. Secondly, it is more likely that there is a hiding place for criminals wanted by the local government! ”

At this time, the old man suddenly said: "I am an old geological exploration worker, and I have traveled to many domestic scientific research stations. However, in the valley of this small land, it is impossible for the local government to set up a so-called 'scientific research station'. So, I agree with the second assumption of small money. ”

Tilis couldn't help frowning and said, "Since the master there is against the government, it is definitely not a good kind. Where will they go? ”

Lu Qingxuan also pondered: "Will they hide because of our appearance?" It's all primeval jungle, and once hidden, it's hard to spot. ”

Qian Chong hurriedly shook his head: "I don't think so, although there are many of us, when we don't eat, all of us don't have the strength." The person who can hide here must be a strong man. Especially when we found the wooden house, our physical strength was already exhausted. If the owner of the cabin had been present, they would have been able to kill us and keep it undetected. ”

Even the bearded man couldn't help but wonder: "Since the owner of the wooden house has taken refuge here, and there is no shortage of food there, where will they go?" ”

Qian Chong replied: "This seems to be a 'desperate valley', but there must be a secret passage to the outside world. Through a cursory observation of the wooden house, I determined that there were at least two people on the other side, and from the bed, it looked rather sloppy, and it should be both men. There was enough rations for two people though. But they can't just eat staple foods, right? And I found that in addition to food, it was some seasonings for cooking, but there were no vegetables, meat, eggs and other non-staple foods. So, I think they must have gone to the outside world to buy non-staple food through the 'secret channel'! ”

Qian Chong's words have been recognized by everyone, and it has also doubled everyone's hope, although the food in the wooden house is limited, but at least it can be concluded that this is not a 'dead valley' with no way out, with the strength of so many people. Will definitely find your way to the outside world.

Unexpectedly, the old man frowned and said: "The current form is very delicate, we must send someone back to the wooden house immediately, otherwise, after this night, there will be a lot of variables!" ”

Everyone focused their suspicious eyes on the old man, and they didn't understand what the old man was worried about.

Shen Junru was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Uncle, what are you worried about?" ”

The old man replied in a low voice with a solemn expression: "If it is just like Xiao Qian's analysis, the owner of the wooden house will come back at any time." Moreover, it is likely that they sneaked back to this valley from the outside world through the night. When they find us through the campfire, or when they return to the hut and find that the situation inside has changed, they will definitely move all the food from the hut and hide it. We won't last long on two sweet potatoes at the moment. If we can't eat tomorrow, the little physical strength that each of us has just recovered will be quickly exhausted. What strength is there to find a way out? ”

The old man's words suddenly made Qian Chong and the others wake up. Qian Chong was so angry that he slapped his head and said regretfully: "I'm really confused, I actually ignored this link." I have to get back to the cabin now! ”

After Qian Chong finished speaking, he stood up on the ground.

Shen Junru also stood up, and said without hesitation: "I'll go back with you!" ”

Qian Chong was naturally reluctant to leave her, but considering that he would go back this time, he didn't know if he would encounter the owner of the wooden house, so he dissuaded: "You better stay here, and when it is dawn, everyone's physical strength has recovered, and then lead everyone over together." The purpose of my first return was to beware of the sudden return of the owner of the wooden house and the concealment of food. ”

When Shen Junru heard Qian Chong say this, she was even more uneasy, and immediately said: "No, if you go alone, I won't be at ease." Gotta be with you! You can be led there by Mr. Wang tomorrow. ”

Qian Chong couldn't help but feel hot when he saw that Shen Junru cared about him so much. His eyes moistened slightly, and he said, "If I encounter the owner of the wooden house, I will improvise with them, and if I bring you, it will make me restrained..."

Shen Junru said unhappily: "Do you think I'm a waste that only drags people down?" ”

Qian Chong said with an embarrassed face: "Bao... No, Xiaoru... The owner of the wooden house is still very mysterious to us now, and when we go back this time, anything can happen." It's really inconvenient for you to follow me as a girl! ”

After Qian Chong finished saying these words, he set his eyes on the old man, hoping that he could help him persuade Shen Junru.

The old man understood what Qian Chong meant, but just as he was about to speak, the black-faced man who had been silent suddenly said: "Since you are worried about danger, then a few more people will go over, I will count as one!" ”

Even the bearded man said, "I'll go ahead of time." Even if we encounter the owner of the wooden house, we don't have to be afraid of them! ”

The old man also nodded immediately: "This is the best!" After all, we have a lot of strength. ”

Lu Qingxuan also said: "In this case, I will also follow the first batch to go." ”

Qian Chong said at this time: "It is enough for these two old brothers to accompany me, their physical strength is the best among us." After all, Officer Lu had a shoulder injury and was not fit to participate in this operation. ”

Shen Junru also echoed: "Yes, Officer Lu still don't move, try to heal the wound, and in the future, we will say that we may not encounter any emergencies." ”

Lu Qingxuan listened to their persuasion, couldn't help but touch the wound on his shoulder socket, and then fell silent.

Shen Junru asked Qian Chong at this time: "Since you are accompanied by these two gentlemen, you should not object to me going with you, right?" Even if something unexpected happens, won't you big men be able to protect me? ”

The old man also persuaded at this time: "Let this girl go with you." In case you meet the owner of the cabin, she can help you translate if you communicate with them. ”

When Tilis heard this, she also hurriedly said, "Then it would be more appropriate for me to go." Not only do I speak English, but I can also speak our local indigenous language. ”

Qian Chong finally said: "It's better for Xiaoru to go with us." Miss Tilis is still going to stay and organize the locals..."

Shen Junru also hurriedly dissuaded: "Miss Tilis, you better stay and take care of Officer Lu, just let me go with them." ”

After hearing this, Tilis couldn't help but glance at Lu Qingxuan, and then stopped insisting. She really can't live without this man.

After everything was finalized, Qian Chong took Shen Junru's hand again and quickly marched towards the wooden house...

The black-faced man and the bearded man also followed closely behind them, nervously observing their surroundings.

Because Qian Chong had already walked back and forth, he already knew the direction of the wooden house, and did not take any more detours, but went straight through the primeval jungle and went straight to the direction of the wooden house.

Shen Junru knew that Qian Chong was trying to save time and rush there as soon as possible. But she was a little nervous, afraid that they would lose their way in the dense jungle.

However, her worries were unnecessary, and Qian Chong quickly led her to the vicinity of the wooden house.

Shen Junru saw that the inside of the wooden house was dark, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it doesn't seem to be any situation." ”

However, Qian Chong did not blindly lead them close to the wooden house, but nervously observed around...

The black-faced man and the bearded man saw the hut for the first time, and they looked curiously at the hut, which looked lifeless in the moonlight.

After Qian Chong observed for a few minutes, he finally made a decision: "You guys hide here first, and I'll go in first to check the reality." If everything is in order, I'll light the oil lamp in the cabin. When the time comes, Xiaoru will go over again. And you two brothers, don't move, you're going to work hard here for the night. ”

Shen Junru's face was slightly red, but she couldn't hide her curiosity: "Why is this?" Is it not appropriate to let them into the hut too? ”

Qian Chong groaned: "Even if the owner of the wooden house doesn't come back at this time, it's hard to guarantee that they won't come back in the middle of the night." In case that's the case, a few of us will be 'dumplings' by others. ”

The man with the hairy beard understood Qian Chong's approach very well, and immediately said: "Xiao Qian's proposal is right, let's divide it into two groups, one bright and one dark, you two are in the open, in case the owner of the wooden house comes back, you can attract them as soon as possible, and we will respond to you two from the secret." ”

The black-faced man also nodded and said, "In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, it is nothing for the two of us to stay here for one night." ”

Qian Chong said at this time: "Even if Xiaoru and I go into the wooden house, we won't fall asleep steadily, we will definitely keep one eye open and pay attention to the situation outside, and when everyone comes over at dawn, we will be able to be sure." ”

After Qian Chong explained everything, he walked alone to the dark wooden house...

Shen Junru looked at the wooden house and looked eerie, and couldn't help but sweat for the money. She could scarcely imagine what would happen if something happened in the cabin.
