Chapter 229: Ghost Gate Gorge

The sun is like fire, and the river is bubbling and shining with scorching light.

On the thorn groves on the shore, a layer of smoke is steaming, as if it is about to burn.

Lu Qing and the two cherished horsepower, and on the return trip, they were already leading the horses on foot, but the two horses were still snorting heavily, their mouths were foaming, and their bodies were sweaty, and they were washed with water.

When Xie Yucheng saw it, he was shocked to come over, his group had been sleepless for days, and they were hurrying in the dust, and now they were actually at the end of the crossbow, if they met the enemy in this situation, the consequences would be unimaginable...... I wanted to let Lu Qing and the others get on the boat to rest, but I saw that it was also very hot under the canopy, and it was difficult to get a foothold.

Fortunately, there was a dense forest not far ahead, so he approached, got off the boat on the shore, entered the forest, took out the dry food and drinking water he had brought with him, and sat down to rest while filling his stomach.

Xie Yucheng carried a bamboo tube and came to a big tree not far from the boat, his eyes wandering over the river.

The river breeze whistled softly, bringing a slight coolness.

What happened to make a huge ship disappear into thin air?

Like Zhang Xianzhong in history, scuttling ships full of gold and silver?

But along the way, the river water is crystal clear, and even the accumulated leaves and flowers and stones on the riverbed can be seen vividly. If the ship sinks, even if it sinks to the bottom of the river, it can be spotted at a glance.

Sail the boat into the reeds and bushes by the river and hide it?

But my group has been searching and tracking along the riverbank, but they haven't found anything.

Xie Yucheng, who was in deep thought, picked up the bamboo tube and poured a large mouthful of water, and the cold water slid down his throat into his stomach, bringing a burst of coldness at the same time, it also stimulated his stomach to spasm violently, making him frown involuntarily.

People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Is it because my stomach is empty, which affects my thinking? He thought to himself. I was about to turn back and get some rice cakes on the back of the mule to fill my stomach, but I saw that the sturdy Qiao Feiyan had opened the branches of the bamboo and waded through the grass.

"What? Remembering to eat? ”

“……”

"I thought you were beaten of iron...... she picked up the small burden in her hand and motioned to him, "Look, it's all for you." ”

As she spoke, she approached, glanced at the river, then broke a branch, sat down, "Sit, come, sit here!" While greeting, he opened the baggage, revealing a few rice cakes inside, and seeing that he was still standing, he couldn't help but glance up at him strangely, "Why are you ......?" stopped in the middle of the sentence. I saw that he looked strange, and first muttered to himself: "It is impossible for people to ...... Stepping into two rivers at the same time......" suddenly shouted again, "I see, I see...... Haha, haha. ”

"What do you understand...... What two rivers? She frowned suspiciously, "Do you eat it or not, there are only a few pieces left......

"What?" Xie Yucheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked down at the small baggage that had been opened on the ground, a few pieces of white and tender rice cakes, shining in the sun. Hurriedly squatted down, pinched a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed, "Ha, I understand, I understand......"

"What do you understand?" Qiao Feiyan saw him gobbling up, a piece of rice cake chewed a little twice and swallowed it, so she helped him pick a big one, handed it over, and smiled slightly, "You found the tiger sister-in-law?" ”

"Found it, oh, not yet, but I know where they are. They ......," Xie Yucheng snatched the rice cake from her hand and raised her brow proudly, "they went to another river!" ”

When Qiao Feiyan heard this, she first looked at him a little confused: "You mean ......, you mean ......" In an instant, her eyes lit up, "They sailed against the current from the fork river to the upstream?" She almost jumped up, "yes, it must be." I know that not far ahead, there is a fork in the river, where it is said that there are often jackals, tigers and leopards, and there are few people, if that is the case, we will have to walk a little further......" After saying that, she bowed her head again, picked up a piece of rice cake, handed it up, and said excitedly, "Oh, fish, you are so smart! Here, eat another piece. ”

Xie Yucheng's old face turned red, and he muttered, "Actually, it's nothing. I should have thought of it a long time ago, but I thought in my heart...... Tiger sister-in-law, they will go straight to Longquan County, so, so...... There are blind spots, well, blind spots. In order to hide his embarrassment, he took the rice cake she handed him again, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"What do you mean by blind spots, fish?" Qiao Feiyan saw that he chewed a few pieces of rice cakes and swallowed them, stretched out her hand again, and hurriedly picked up another piece and handed it over, just about to hand it to him, she suddenly realized that this was the last piece of rice cake, and she was still hungry, and she didn't even bother to drink it...... Just as he was hesitating, his hand was empty, but Xie Yucheng, who was unconscious, reached out and snatched the rice cake.

Xie Yucheng was just about to put the rice cake in his mouth, when he suddenly felt that her expression was different, and when he glanced at her, he saw her looking at himself with a blank look, and she wanted to stop talking, as if she was thirsty, so she sent the bamboo tube in her hand to her: "Here, drink water!" ”

"Drink water?" Qiao Feiyan was angry and was about to speak, but she heard the jingcong behind her stumbling, and Lu Qing's voice sounded anxiously: "Sister, Commander Xie, a team of armor guards came from afar, it seems that they are coming to us." ”

Xie Yucheng turned his head and responded, "Oh, I know, we'll come out right away!" As he spoke, he squatted down and handed the rice cake in his hand to her, "I'm sorry, I patronized and ate it myself!" Here, this piece is for you! ”

Qiao Feiyan didn't take the rice cake, just looked at him speechlessly.

Xie Yuzhen was really hungry just now, and he was in deep thinking, so he almost swallowed those rice cakes alone. At this time, I remembered the woman in front of me, who took care of big and small things along the way, worked hard, and every time she ate during a break, she was the last ...... The more he thought about it, the more scornful his face became, but he muttered to himself: "It's not wrong to let you drink more water, don't they all say that women are made of water?" ”

"......" Qiao Feiyan glared at him, as if she suddenly remembered something, and then smiled slightly, like a summer flower blooming, and said meaningfully, "You men are still muddy, could it be that when you are hungry, grab a handful of soil and fill your stomach?" She said as she got up and snatched the rice cake from his hand.

"......" Xie Yuzhen never expected that she could say such a thing, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, and after a while, she asked sneeringly, "Have you seen "Dream of Red Mansions"?" ”

Xie Yucheng likes it most in his life, although "Dream of Red Mansions" is not among them. But the saying "women are made of water, and men are made of mud" is familiar. After getting along for a while, he knew that Qiao Feiyan could recognize some words, and she could keep accounts and settle accounts, but he didn't expect her to be.

Qiao Feiyan had a rare upper hand, and her expression was very happy, holding her head high and being complacent. But when he heard what he said, it immediately turned cloudy again, and he turned his face away: "I haven't seen it, I heard the storyteller say it...... I, I can't even recognize all the words in the book......" she lowered her eyes, "Abba left ......early, I can recognize some words, all taught by my brother Hao!" ”

The two walked side by side to the shore.

Xie Yuzhen saw the smiling beauty, and in a blink of an eye, he was sullen and sad, and couldn't help blurting out a sentence: "You don't know much, it's okay, I can teach you!" I know a lot of words! ”

"Really? Are you really willing to teach me? Qiao Feiyan was overjoyed, and her big eyes were shining.

"What is literacy? I still know a lot of nonsense, and if I give you some, it's nothing. Just in time to clear the memory! ”

"Uh, fish, what is memory?"

"Memory is ...... Ahem...... Memory is brain volume, well, what is brain capacity, um, ahem...... Let's put it this way, just like a person has a large belly, the larger the belly, the more things it contains, and it can be called a large memory...... We have such a good relationship, as long as you are obedient and obedient, the master will expand and upgrade your capacity and make a large memory, that is a matter of duty! ”

“……”

As they spoke, the two turned into the woods, and saw that everyone was all vigilantly looking at the path in the distance.

Xie Yucheng looked along and saw a small team of four or five people emerging from a village in the distance, walking along the field.

"Prepare for battle!" Xie Yucheng took out the M1911, Qiao Feiyan took out the flower mechanism from the basket on the mule's back, and everyone was holding guns in their hands.

After observing for a while, Xie Yucheng decided to set up a pocket array: "Lu Qing, you take two people, go around to the front, the others spread out on the spot, you take the plate, you come with me, let's go over there to ...... and make their dumplings!" ”

However, at this moment, those armor guards hesitated, as if they couldn't make up their minds whether to come over or not.

Everyone stared intently for a long time, and those armor guards turned around and ran back to the village.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and they all turned their eyes to Xie Yucheng.

Xie Yucheng nodded, waved his hand, led everyone to turn around, dragged the horses and mules onto the boat, and continued to travel downstream. Walked about fifteen or sixteen miles of waterway, I saw that the water surface suddenly opened, there was an extra fork of the river diagonally opposite, only to see it rolling blue waves, the momentum was amazing, the bank was lush, the forest was entangled, like a primeval forest that no one set foot in.

Xie Yucheng asked the boatman to turn the rudder and turn into the Nacha River. When several boatmen heard this, their faces were embarrassed, saying that this fork of the river is also called Guimen Gorge, which is inaccessible, and there are many jackals, tigers and leopards, which is very sinister...... Xie Yucheng took out a silver dollar, and the leading boatman still shook his head, saying that they were not sitting on the ground and starting the price, but that this Ghost Gate Gorge was not only inaccessible, but also extremely vicious. Therefore, they did not dare to enter, and they could not enter this ghost gate gorge.

The sun is like fire, and the river is bubbling and shining with scorching light.

On the thorn groves on the shore, a layer of smoke is steaming, as if it is about to burn.

Lu Qing and the two cherished horsepower, and on the return trip, they were already leading the horses on foot, but the two horses were still snorting heavily, their mouths were foaming, and their bodies were sweaty, and they were washed with water. When Xie Yucheng saw it, he was shocked to come over, his group had been sleepless for days, and they were hurrying in the dust, and now they were actually at the end of the crossbow, if they met the enemy in this situation, the consequences would be unimaginable...... I wanted to stop the boat and let Lu Qing and the others get on the boat to rest, but it was also very hot under the canopy, and it was difficult to gain a foothold. Seeing that there was a dense forest not far ahead, he approached, got off the boat on the shore, entered the forest, took out the dry food and drinking water that he had brought with him, and sat down to rest while filling his stomach.

Xie Yucheng carried a bamboo tube and came to a big tree not far from the boat, his eyes wandering over the river.
