Chapter 396: Bloody Plague
At this moment, in the valley of Fugui Mountain, Chu Feifei was still digging hard into the river mud.
However, unlike the previous overseer, there were several more black-clothed men in the valley, holding tools like guipans in their hands, walking up and down the valley, sticking a kind of bamboo stick painted red into the mud floor.
The mud pit where Chu Feifei dug out the stones yesterday has been enlarged several times. Most of the tall and sturdy men were placed there and continued digging along the course of the valley. The excavated sediment was still transported by a donkey cart.
Chu Feifei, who was so thin, was driven aside, and arranged a mud pit for her at random, no one cared if she dug more or less, it seemed that the attention of the man in black was focused on that special mud pit.
The mud pit where Chu Feifei is staying now happened to be close to the mountains and forests, so she waved a shovel while grinding the foreign construction site, and observed carefully, hoping to find the so-called secret whistle.
But until her eyes were sour, and she didn't see any secret whistles, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, what is the second brother Guan, could it be nonsense?
At this time, a man in black came over and randomly ordered a few people to dig down from the place where the red lacquered bamboo sticks were inserted. When passing by Chu Feifei, he looked at her with disgust, probably because he was not enough, thinking that although this person looked thin, he was also a helper, so he called her too: "You can go with you." ”
Chu Feifei replied slowly, and followed the group of people to the so-called muddy ground with red paint.
Looking up, there are hundreds of bamboo sticks inserted in this river valley. Each bamboo skewer is separated from a few zhang to dozens of zhang, and it looks irregular, as if a person casually threw a handful of skewers from the world and let them be inserted into the mud ground.
"The number of Tianyan," someone behind him muttered.
Chu Feifei turned her head and was happy, isn't this her good "neighbor"? Coincidentally, I met here again.
"Second Brother Guan, where did you go just now? I'm still desperately looking for you. Chu Feifei said happily, in fact, where did she desperately find Guan Er? She was desperately trying to find the sentry. When she couldn't find the secret whistle, she remembered that Guan Er was here.
Guan Er's face was the same as her, covered with a layer of yellow mud that had not been washed for several days. At this moment, he glanced at Chu Feifei with the white of his eyes: "What are you still doing in a daze." Want to eat whips? ”
Chu Feifei turned around, and it turned out that the people who came over together had already picked a bamboo stick and dug it down from there.
Chu Feifei hurriedly followed Guan Er: "Second Brother Guan, let's be together." ”
Guan Er thought for a moment. It seems that those men in black didn't say that they couldn't dig together. didn't care about Chu Feifei's follower. Instead, he walked around, picked a spot, and dug it down.
Chu Feifei followed beside him. Pretending to stick a shovel into the mud floor, he asked in a low voice, "Second Brother Guan, what did you mean by the number of Tianyan just now?" Do you know what this bamboo skewer is? ”
"How do I know!" Guan Er said angrily.
"Hey, Second Brother Guan, I know you must know, come on, don't hide it, tell me." Chu Feifei pushed Guan Er with his elbow and said with a smile.
Guan Er looked at the self-cooked Chu Feifei speechlessly, does this kid understand how to read his face? He now has disgust written all over his face, and he doesn't want to deal with it, can't this kid see it?
It's a pity that his face is like something, for Chu Feifei, who grew up in an orphanage, it is simply a negligible thing.
Therefore, no matter how cold Guan Er's face and white eyes were, Chu Feifei didn't mind, and it seemed that he had to inquire about the news he wanted to know.
At this moment, another group of men and horses galloped into the mouth of the valley, and several black-clothed people surrounded an old man in ochre-colored robes, dismounted, and walked towards the valley.
Seeing this, several black-clothed people who were originally scattered on the muddy ground of the river valley hurriedly greeted them respectfully.
Chu Feifei had a bad premonition, could this be the old man with some money.
The old man, surrounded by several black-clothed people, came to the mud pit where Chu Feifei dug out the boulder yesterday.
A man in black took out a small piece of gravel from his arms, held it in both hands, and whispered to the old man.
Chu Feifei unconsciously stopped the movement in his hand and stared at it tightly.
The sound of the wind came intermittently with the old man's old voice.
"Three-Four"
Chu Feifei frowned, what three, what four? What is this old man talking about? Looking at the expressions of the black-clothed people around them, they all listened respectfully, as if the old man was talking about something extremely important.
Chu Feifei is not martial arts, she can't hear anything clearly at this distance of dozens of zhang, and she listened to it with her ears for a long time, but she didn't hear anything, so she had to give up. Looking back at Guan Er, he saw that Guan Er was really paying attention there, and when he saw her looking, Guan Er lowered his head and continued to dig up the yellow mud.
The corners of Chu Fei's mouth curled slightly, and he said deliberately: "Second Brother Guan, I just heard the old man say three and four, you said that the old man is not a teacher of arithmetic?" ”
Guan Er buried his head in the mud, and sneered when he heard this: "Three mountains and four don't show up, sure enough, these people are fighting this idea." ”
Sure enough, he knew!
Chu Feifei squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "It turns out that I really came to count, but what the old man said is not right, there are more than three mountains here, I think there are five or six." ”
Guan Er sneered: "Those mountains don't count, he said Yingmen Mountain, Guanmen Mountain" Guan Er stopped here when he said this, raised his head and gave Chu Feifei a roll of his eyes: "Five or six?" Do you know how to count? Counting the Fugui Mountain here, there are obviously nine mountains. ”
Chu Feifei saw that Guan Er was unwilling to talk deeply, so he didn't force it, but he had a firm idea in his heart, no matter what the origin of this Guan Er was, depending on his talent and knowledge, following him to escape was much more likely to win than trying to find a way by himself.
Thinking of this, the smile on Chu Feifei's face became even sweeter: "Yes, if it weren't for Second Brother Guan saying this, I really wouldn't have seen it." ”
At this time, another team of people came to the mouth of the valley, Chu Feifei took a look, this time it was an acquaintance, wasn't this the tall and thin leader in a cloak? The one who followed him seemed to be their former overseer.
Chu Feifei said in a low voice: "Second Brother Guan, their leader is here, will you say it for a while?"
Guan Er also looked a little nervous: "It stands to reason that you can't see blood before determining the direction, but these people are acting weirdly, it's really hard to say"
Chu Feifei rolled his eyes, can't see the blood light? There was no blood in this valley for a day, and it seemed that these people didn't care about the rules at all. (To be continued.) )
