Chapter 142: Peace of Mind
Perhaps no matter what the purpose of the previous people, the people who entered this mountain were regarded by them as people who coveted treasures, and they disappeared inexplicably.
These people may have just come here to take refuge, or they just wanted to reclaim the fields and settle down here, but they all killed them under the pretext of protecting the treasure.
This seemingly peaceful, but a little weird little village, I didn't expect it to be so bloodthirsty and terrible in secret, perhaps, the people who came here were deceived by the calm on the surface of this village, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was hell and death.
Li Hao put together some maps, and suddenly found that something was wrong, "The lines in other places are very smooth, why is this place not connected?" ”
"It's been so many years since this picture is blurred." Qi Lichen took a look, this is a fake map he made, this picture is also a key part, there is a fork in the road on it, if you go wrong, you will take a detour, and delay it for a few days at the bottom of the mountain, this road was originally not there, but the ancient road has already been covered, so it is unlikely to be discovered.
Li Hao narrowed his eyes, "Although the gap in the middle seems to be a mountain road, what does the rune on it mean?" ”
"Aren't you generations the guardians of the treasure? Your ancestors didn't have a way to decipher this kind of writing? Qi Lichen asked.
Li Hao shook his head, "Although we are here to guard the treasure and not let people approach, this treasure is not left by our ancestors. ”
Qi Lichen sneered, and Li Hao looked at him, "What do you mean?" ”
"The person who left this treasure, if he knew that he was not entrusted, would he be angry and come out of the grave?" Qi Lichen's smile was light and light.
When Li Hao heard this, he didn't get angry, but smiled and said: "For so many years, in order to protect the treasure, our clansmen don't know how many sins they have on their hands, since the ownership of the treasure has become a problem, it is better to treat it as a reward for us, and if you calculate it carefully, you are not the owner of the treasure, since you can get it, why can't we get it?" ”
"That's right." Qi Lichen smiled faintly and looked into the distance, "The clouds are thick, it will rain, right?" ”
Li Hao also looked up at the sky, "The weather in the mountains is always changeable, and this is not good, when we can get the treasure, the people in our village will move out." Anyway, he told people to prepare a cave to shelter from the rain.
As soon as I found the cave, there was a sudden lightning and thunder outside, and the heavy rain poured down, and the crackling sound of rain covered all other sounds in the world.
Li Hao stood at the mouth of the cave, looked at the sky with a little worry, and said for a long time: "After this rain, the mountain road is even more difficult to walk, the mud is slippery, and if you are not careful, you may fall down." ”
"What do you mean?" Qi Lichen looked at him.
"How about leaving in two days?" Li Hao looked at Qi Lichen, his eyes were full of distrust, he just wanted to have a chance to buffer and arrange it simply.
Qi Lichen saw through his thoughts, smiled and said, "Okay." He has already arranged for the subordinates in the village to send the news out, and there should be support coming soon, although they are few people, but the strength of these people, he believes that he can control Li Hao and his party, and he will not have to worry about the overall situation when he grasps it.
Li Hao's delay is also to delay time for him, I'm afraid he is also waiting for news from the village.
Xi Duyun got the news over there, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, when the news came, it meant that Qi Lichen was fine, but when the letter said that she needed to send another team of people there, she was still nervous, he had already taken a lot of people, what else could not be solved and needed to be reinforced?
However, it takes a long time to get from here to the place where the treasure is buried, and if Qi Lichen sends a letter to ask for support, and can wait for these supports, it means that his current situation is not too dangerous, at least there is room for maneuver.
Xi Duyun has never felt that Acacia is so painful alone, knowing that what he is doing is dangerous, so she is always worried about his life, knowing that he is far away, she cares about him.
But it's an amazing feeling. OK
She asked Bai Bing to pick some trustworthy people and asked him to lead the team away.
Bai Bing was still a little uneasy, Xi Duyun smiled lightly and said: "Those people in the rivers and lakes have been led away by me, what else are you worried about, besides, now the eyeliner in Qingyu Pavilion has also been swept away by you, and besides, my current identity is the boss of Sugar Heart Pavilion, who can connect me with Qingyu Pavilion?" ”
Bai Bing listened to her say this, and then he was a little relieved.
They couldn't afford to be slow when they needed support, so they only prepared for one night, and the next day they were ready to go.
That night, Xi Duyun asked people to wrap some durable snacks in the Sugar Heart Pavilion, and prepared a few thicker clothes, which were enough to wrap a large package, and read it several times, and there was nothing missing, so he stuffed the things to Bai Bing and asked him to bring them to Qi Lichen.
Bai Bing looked at the big bag of things in front of him, smiled and said, "When the pavilion master left, you loaded a lot of things, big bags and small bags, the pavilion master is afraid that he can't eat them all, and he can't use them all." ”
"It's always good to go out and make more preparations, besides, the place you are going to is very remote, yesterday I learned from Cuiyun how to make dry food, I don't know if it's delicious or not, you help me bring it to my son, in the underwear I brought to him, I also wrote him some notes, one section at the last section, let him open one every day to read, as if I was with him." Xi Duyun said with a smile.
Bai Bing nodded helplessly, so he had to take it.
Xi Duyun was still a little uneasy, and thought about it carefully, to see if there was anything left, a thousand words, and I didn't know how to bring it out of the mountains and rivers.
Bai Bing was gone, and Xi Duyun was not as uneasy as that night.
She continued to follow the methods described in the book to develop a plan for how to build the dam.
Xu doesn't know that he will occasionally come to give Xi Muyu a lesson, and after the class, he will help her read the content of this book together, whether Xi Muyun understands it or not, he knows a little more about water conservancy projects than Xi Muyun.
However, there was no field trip, and Xi did not dare to decide where to build the dam.
In the end, she decided to go to Yanzhou to take a look in person, and Xu Buzhi naturally expressed her gratitude, "If the matter is done, the fifth prince will give you a lot of commission." ”
Xi Duyun didn't care very much, "I want money that I can earn myself, and I can do things for the dawn people of the world, how can I be embarrassed to ask for money?" ”
Xu didn't know that her face was full of confidence, and suddenly felt that such a woman was very attractive, he had lived half his life, and he had never seen a girl who could say so confidently that I need money, and I can earn such words.
He smiled and said in a deep voice, "This is also earned by your ability." ”
"That's different." Xi Duyun shook her head, "But I don't mind if I can get something else." ”
"What's that?" Xu asked suspiciously, don't want money, do you want jewelry?
"A promise is said to be worth a thousand gold, let alone a prince's promise." Xi Duyun said.
"Sure enough, it's a businessman, and it's the most wishful thinking, I can't be the master of this matter, it's better to go to Yanzhou, and you and the five princes will talk about it in detail." Xu Bu said softly.
"I know people like the Five Princes, it's impossible not to agree." Xi Duyun smiled briskly, "Let's set off tomorrow, things shouldn't be delayed any longer, and let the five princes go over there to transport volcanic ash, those mountain people are also pitiful, just give them more wages." ”
