Zheng Ming expressed some dissupport for Mu Feng's suggestion to go to the valley to see, that place was deep in the mountains, and he had to pass through a long period of undeveloped forest, and he was very skeptical that the three guests from the capital would be able to survive the trekking through the mountains and rivers. Even Zheng Ming himself has only been to the periphery, but all the words of refusal were defeated in the red envelope given to him by Ying Rebellion, which was enough for their family to use for a few years.

"This is Da Xiong, don't look at him who can't speak official language, he has been wandering around the mountains, it will be much safer for us to have him to guide us along the way."

After Zheng Ming compromised and accompanied him into the mountain, he found a young man who was black and strong. The big bear looked a little wooden, his eyes were a little dumbfounded, and he muttered a few words and gestures to Zheng Ming in the local dialect, which made Zheng Ming frown slightly. Then Zheng Ming said a few more words to Da Xiong, and finally made Da Xiong quiet down and nodded to Mu Feng and the others.

Zheng Ming explained on the side that Da Xiong was a little dissatisfied with the cost and said that he wanted more.

Ying Wei looked at Zheng Ming for three seconds, as if considering the authenticity of this passage, but he still didn't ask more, and agreed to double Da Xiong's reward.

This little episode didn't have any effect at all, and the five of them hit the road.

Di Jiang had already hidden himself and the dragon egg and stood at the bow of the boat, and followed a few people to enter the valley through the guò waterway.

The river under the boat is a small tributary of the Yellow River, a valley where Shanxi and Shaanxi meet, close to Hukou Waterfall, so the water here is yellow with mud and sand.

The boat for a few people was not large, but it could seat seven or eight people in total, and now it carried five people, and there were camping items on the boat that they would use. The wooden boat was rowed by the big bear alone, and his rowing skills were very high, even if he was swimming against the current, he didn't seem to be too strenuous.

Waiting for the river to get narrower and narrower, they entered the valley, surrounded by trees, but there was no superfluous sound, it was quiet, quiet without a trace of life. There are no birds chirping, not even the rustling of trees, and one can hear the sound of a waterfall rushing in the distance, which is of course just an illusion.

Ying Wei suddenly asked Zheng Ming, "How did you transport the timber out?" It's also inconvenient to go by water, right? ”

Zheng Ming didn't talk nagging after entering the valley, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the question of rebellion, he quickly came back to his senses, "It's a mountain road, the people in the mountains have experience, and they can always be transported out slowly, win the boss rest assured, you buy wood, we can send it out." However, it takes a long time to transport by mountain road, so please be more generous in terms of delivery time. ”

Zheng Ming was provoked by this question, and instead of maintaining the abnormal silence just now, he opened the conversation box again, even if the other four people on the boat did not echo much, their voices could be heard echoing in the valley, until the big bear brought the boat to the shore, and they arrived.

Da Xiong opened the road at the front, Di Jiangfei broke at the end, Zheng Ming translated Da Xiong's words, and asked the three of them to pay attention to the road under their feet, where they should bow their heads, and where they should turn.

The reason why I didn't go fast this way was to take care of the three people who had not entered the valley and let them distribute their bodies reasonably.

Zheng Ming obviously hadn't made this trip either, but he was quite familiar with the environment of the valley, and at least he could tell what kind of vegetation was around him. It is not easy to distinguish between the deep and light shades of green, at most you can see the difference between trees and shrubs, but it is a little difficult to judge the type of a tree from a leaf.

Yang Lianghe was on a cane in his right hand, and in his left hand he was holding a small compass, on which the pointer rotated irregularly, making his face a little confused.

It seems that after a while, the sun on the head slowly disappears, and the sunset in the valley is earlier than outside, not because the sun has done anything, but because the shade of the trees here is thick, and after the sun turns west, the sunlight does not shine in easily.

The big bear had obviously been prepared for a long time, he estimated the time, and several people had already arrived at the mouth of a small cave, he said something to Zheng Ming, and went to find the dry branches.

"Big Bear said that this cave is a place for people who enter the mountain to rest. We stayed here for one night, it was not good to travel at night, and we were able to go to the woods early tomorrow morning, so that it would not be too tiring. He went to find some branches to make a fire, and we cleaned the hole a little. ”

There are some weeds in the cave, and there are cooking utensils such as iron pots for cooking, and this is indeed a place for people to rest.

There is not so much attention to when going out, Mu Feng took out the sleeping bag and other items prepared by Ying Wei in advance, and cleaned up the cave a little.

The bear soon returned, holding a pile of wood and skillfully lit the fire, and he did not underestimate the use of branches to make a fire, from what kind of branches he picked up so that it could not carry too much water, to how to pile the branches together.

Ying Shun didn't use the iron pot left in the cave, but took out a small pot with him, and took out a few bags of instant noodles, this thing usually Ying Shun doesn't touch, but in the deep mountains it has become a delicacy that hooks people, and after putting in a few braised eggs, this dinner is much stronger than gnawing dry food.

Zheng Ming and Da Xiong ate instant noodles for the first time. Instant noodles were available in Neon decades ago, but in China, it was only in the early 70s that instant noodles were first made in Shanghai with domestic soil equipment, and the output was not high. After entering the 80s, there was a plan to introduce foreign equipment to increase production.

Even so, people like Zheng Ming and Da Xiong rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with the products of this kind of city.

In terms of rebellious attitude, the product of this kind of city is not happy, it has no charm of food at all, just convenience. Not being in touch is not necessarily a bad thing.

Da Xiong was surprised by the synthetic umami, and he gestured towards Zheng Ming. Zheng Ming translated to a few people, and Da Xiong said that the umami of this thing is a little impetuous, not as real as wild meat, and when he returns, he will beat a game for everyone to taste. The reason why I didn't do this tonight was because I was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Because of human activities in this valley, there are not many wild beasts, and they come all the way, and there are no footprints of large beasts on the road, but they always have to be vigilant, and several people take turns to keep vigil at night.

After a few people finished eating, Yang Lianghe also entered the cave.

When Mu Feng introduced Zheng Ming, he said that Yang Lianghe was an expert in the appraisal of the ornamental value of plants invited by them, not to look young, but very experienced, and knew how to price plants correctly.

Zheng Ming was a little curious and asked a few words, Yang Liang and this guy are usually reluctant to talk, but they are still very good at fooling people, so he told an example, any plant, scarce or numerous, it turns out that there is no difference, and the difference between them is given by humans. For example, kumquat is loved by businessmen because it means good and symbolizes good fortune.

Plant ornamental value experts are looking for the location of these plants. There seems to be some truth in this, that is, to make up a set of stories for plants.

In fact, Yang Lianghe left the cave and took a general look around. He looked at the compass, and the magnetic field here was very problematic. It's not messy, it's too clean, it's as clean as a vacuum.

Yang Lianghe also encountered this situation for the first time, and he became more curious about that forest, which seemed to have a purifying effect and could eliminate all unclean things.

The night was peaceful, nothing happened, except for Dijiang, who didn't know where he flew and didn't come back, so that Mu Feng wanted to condemn its reckless actions.

And the next morning, after another three hours of mountain road, they finally saw the dead wood in the story.

There are many different trees here, and they are a little different from the trees I have seen before, but I can't tell what is different at once. It was as if there was an invisible boundary between this forest and the surrounding area, and before they reached the center, they saw that several trees had been cut down, and the stumps had not been uprooted, but they also knew that it was extremely difficult to keep it alive.

These felled trees in this woods are like large holes in a beautiful portrait, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Mu Feng looked at this scene and felt that even if the wood carvings were beautifully carved, they could no longer be appreciated.

Yang Lianghe suddenly counted on the side, he took out a notebook from his bag, quickly drew something on it, and his face became worse.

Ying Wei kept looking at Da Xiong, and at this time, Da Xiong's footsteps stopped and stopped moving forward, and he said a word to Zheng Ming cautiously.

"Can't we go in and have a look?" Ying reversed and looked at Zheng Ming, finding that his face showed embarrassment.

Zheng Ming adjusted his facial expression, "Boss Win, we have seen this magical place, there are a lot of galls here, so there is no need to go inside, anyway, they are all trees, and I can't see any new tricks." ”

Ying Ying stared at Zheng Ming and didn't speak, his attitude was very clear, since they came, they should go in and have a look.

Zheng Ming could only laugh, he said a few more words to Da Xiong, Da Xiong shook his head vigorously, but he refused to go in. The scene was a little awkward for a while.

At this time, Yang Lianghe drew a complete picture in his notebook, he poked the notebook with a pen, ignored Zheng Ming's attitude, and said to Mu Feng and Yingyi, "We must go in, this is a formation, only when we enter the center can we know what it is arranged." ”

"Expert Yang, what are you talking about? It's just a forest, and there's no monster out there! As soon as Zheng Ming heard the words formation, his face turned bad, obviously these two words made him explode.

Yang Lianghe smiled contemptuously, "I didn't say that there are monsters here, how do you know?" You must have something you didn't say. I can sue you that the so-called dead wood does not exist at all, but is caused by man. Someone arranged the formation, which was very similar to the Qiqi Returning Yang Array. The trees are distributed in seven tree species, layer upon layer, and the yin and yang attributes of the tree species are interrelated. ”

As soon as Mu Feng heard Yang Lianghe's words, he instantly understood why he felt a little strange here. He is sensitive to numbers, and this regular arrangement of trees makes him feel awkward. "It's completely different from the outside because it's not in line with the natural environment. The trees here are too regular. ”

Ying Wei saw Zheng Ming's face turn dark, and it seemed that he was hiding a lot of things. "Lao Zheng, the villagers won't know about this, right? What kind of tree do you use? If you don't make this matter clear, who will dare to do business with you in the future. ”

Zheng Ming was a little embarrassed for a while, where did he think that these three people could see the right thing in the woods as soon as they came. Even if he knew some inside information in advance, he didn't see anything after he came here, except that the tree was just a tree, could it be said that the expert was really an expert and had extraordinary abilities.

How to explain this, I can't tell if I can't do the timber business in the future, and if I make it clear, I will lose the deal. Thinking of this, Zheng Ming regretted a little, he shouldn't have been greedy for money to bring people in.

And an evil thought suddenly rose in his heart, as long as these three people couldn't get out, there was no need to explain anything. Of course, he didn't dare to kill anyone, as long as he left them behind. In this mountain, it is a place where ordinary people can live.

Zheng Mingcai thought so, shouted at the big bear, turned around and wanted to run. But at that moment, he heard a burst of gunfire that exploded in his ears.

Damn, these people are carrying this dangerous thing.

Zheng Ming's legs were about to tremble, and then he saw a flash of golden light in front of him, and then suddenly found that he couldn't move, not only him, but also the big bear next to him, and when he looked down, there was a thick golden chain on his body, which tied the two of them firmly.

Mu Feng couldn't understand the call of the big bear, he put down his hand very normally, as if the person who imposed the immortal chain on the two of them was not him at all, and walked in front of Zheng Ming, "Uncle Zheng, don't be in a hurry, we have no malicious intentions, as long as you say it clearly, everything is easy to discuss." ”

Mu Feng then glared at Yingyi, saying that if something goes wrong, he will tie people up first, how can he shoot casually.

Ying rebel blinked innocently, he was shooting at the sky, he had no intention of hurting people's lives, he was really just scaring them. He felt that it was much gentler than being tied up by something unknown.

"Alright, don't waste time!" Yang Lianghe didn't want to continue watching the farce, now he just wanted to know what was in the center of the array. "Hurry up and tell me what you know, when were these trees planted, and who do you want to get back to Yang?!"
