Chapter 105: The Autumn Wind on Jilong Mountain (1)
"Thank you both for the reminder! General Lee, why don't you and your friends take refuge in the canopy of the boat first, and then I'll row the boat and observe the situation. The two leaders thanked the man on the oncoming plank boat loudly, and then turned around and said to Li Ruzhu in a consultative tone.
"How far is it from Yunchuan Ferry?" Li Ruzhu asked.
"It's about a mile away." The second leader stopped the boat and replied.
"Oh well. In the event of an emergency, make a U-turn or dock immediately. Li Ruzhu observed the two sides of the strait, and then said.
"My lord, let's take shelter in the canopy first, and then we'll see the opportunity to act later." Li Ruzhu said to Luo Shiyin.
"Okay." Luo Shiyin replied as he made a gesture to his subordinates to enter the canopy.
Shi Lang and the other four hurriedly entered the canopy in turn. Luo Shiyin also followed Li Ruzhu into the canopy.
The second leader kept the boat moving forward at a reasonable speed.
Gradually, the Yunchuan ferry faintly flashed to the right of the river bank about 300 meters away.
Indeed, on the wide bluestone-paved wharf at Yunchuan Ferry, there were densely packed with Japanese soldiers armed with swords and guns. They forcibly tied up those who came ashore through this place and escorted them to a manned open space at the innermost end of the wharf. The scolding of the Japanese soldiers was clearly transmitted through the cool river.
"Second leader, don't row forward. Hurry up and pull over to the river bank to the right! Seeing the situation on the dock ahead, Li Ruzhu, who had been peeking out of the canopy, ordered the second leader.
The second leader did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rowed the boat into a patch of aquatic grass on the shore.
"My lord, it seems that I can't land at Yunchuan Ferry. We can only go ashore here. Then climb over the mountain in front of you and head south. You can also get out of Jilong Mountain. Li Ruzhu whispered to Luo Shiyin.
"Okay, just do as you say." Luo Shiyin said.
"Second Leader, then we'll say goodbye here. Thank you for your careful care along the way. Take care on your way back alone! Li Ruzhu said to the second leader.
"The general doesn't have to be so polite. It is my responsibility to send you safely to this Jilong Mountain. Take care of yurgeons! The second leader replied as he adjusted the boat to a suitable angle to facilitate the disembarkation of the detachment.
"Thank you, second leader, for sending me all the way!" After Luo Shiyin landed on the shore, he thanked the second leader on the boat. Shi Lang and the others also followed Luo Shiyin to greet the second leader.
"Take care, everyone!" The second leader returned the salute to Luo Shiyin and the others.
"Hey, General Li, there is one more thing, on the main peak of this Jilong Mountain, the Emperor Peak, there is a team of ours, they were broken up in the battle of the Japanese army to invade Longpuli and regrouped together. If the general encounters any trouble in this Jilong Mountain, he can go to them for help. The second leader, who had already turned the bow of the boat, said to Li Ruzhu again.
"Okay, remember. Be careful on the road! Li Ruzhu waved at the second leader.
Bidding farewell to the second leader, the team members began to climb up the rugged mountain road under the guidance of Li Ruzhu.
The mountain in front of me is called Luohan Peak, which is the most beautiful one among the more than a dozen peaks of Jilong Mountain. It's the season when the maple leaves are about to fall. This maple leaf looks its most beautiful in the days before it falls. The red maple leaves are as spectacular as the sunset on the horizon. Li Ruzhu led the way in front and introduced the beautiful scenery in the mountains. In the words, there is a lot of pride.
"What other good scenery is there besides maple leaves?" Ye Ruliu asked.
"There are also strange rocks, dark creeks and valleys, and six or seven spectacular waterfalls. It can be said that beautiful scenery abounds in the mountains! "Li Ruzhu is like a treasure.
"Then why is this mountain called Jilong Mountain?" Xie Yuan asked Li Ruzhu curiously.
"I don't know exactly why. It seems that because the ridge of this Jilong Mountain resembles a dragon with a cockscomb, people call it Jilong Mountain. Look, does the ridge in the distance look like a sleeping dragon? As he spoke, everyone had already reached the summit of Luohan Peak. Li Ruzhu pointed to the winding ridge in the distance and said to everyone.
"Not to mention, it's like a dragon with a cockscomb." Shi Lang put his hand on the pergola and said as he looked at the mountain scenery in the distance.
"What a dragon is not a dragon. I look like a little snake. Shi Tianji stared wide-eyed and watched hard, but he couldn't see the shadow of the dragon, so he said in frustration.
"Look, everyone, how beautiful the fiery red maple leaves are on the mountainside!" Ye Ruliu looked at the dense maple leaves on the opposite mountainside and shouted excitedly.
As far as the eye can see, the red maple leaves decorate the opposite mountain peak like a flame, and the sunset in the western sky is in full contrast.
"The mountain on the opposite side is called Guanyin Peak, and there is a Guanyin temple on it. When we climbed to the top of Guanyin Peak, it was estimated that it would be dark. I saw that we would spend the night in the Guanyin Temple above. Li Ruzhu said.
"Okay, everybody, work hard. Aim to climb the peak of Kannon before it gets dark. Let's go! Luo Shiyin waved his hand and took the lead towards the bottom of the peak.
"This will give you the opportunity to see the beautiful maple leaves up close." Ye Ruliu said with some excitement.
As they spoke, the team members had reached the bottom of the valley between the two peaks. A shallow stream crossed in front of everyone. The water is crystal clear, and you can clearly see many unknown small red fish swimming at the bottom of the stream. Fortunately, there were a few pebbles protruding from the water that became a bridge for the team to cross the river, so that everyone would not wade through the river.
"Let's go, go up and see the maple leaves!" Ye Ruliu walked briskly and excitedly walked towards the maple forest above.
"Big sister, not only can you enjoy the maple leaves, but you can also ask your brother Shi Lang to climb the tree to pick a bouquet for you, and then ......," Shi Tianji said, making an exaggerated gesture of kneeling on one leg and offering flowers devoutly.
"Lao Shi, your actions are also terrifying. If only they were all like you. 10,000 girls were scared away. Before Ye Ruliu could speak, Xie Yuan first began to sneer Shi Tianji.
"Hahaha......" Everyone present was amused by Xie Yuan's words.
"You're a 'water snake waist', you're always against me. I really regret not breaking your neck on the boat just now. Shi Tianji deliberately raised his hands hatefully and made a twisting motion in front of Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan made a dodge appearance very cooperatively.
"Lao Shi, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth. Xie Yuan is our baby, don't hurt people casually. Shi Lang began to help Xie Yuan.
"It's like, if you have something to say, it's good to say. Don't keep trying to scare people with force. With Shi Lang's help, Xie Yuan suddenly gained momentum.
"Okay, I can't talk about you two. I'm just trying to tease my eldest sister. Brother Shi Lang, people have been with you all the way, and they are infatuated with you. Where can I find such a good girl! You say, don't you? Brother Xie Yuan. Shi Tianji began to dismantle the alliance between Shi Lang and Xie Yuan.
"That's right. Hey, I said sister, if Brother Shi Lang really gives you flowers, do you want it? Xie Yuan really followed Shi Tianji's words and turned the topic to Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu.
"Yes, of course. But I'm afraid people won't give it. Although Ye Ruliu's words were refreshing, it was difficult to hide the shame on her face.
"Do you hear that? Brother Shi Lang. Don't hurry up yet. My sister is waiting for you to offer flowers. Xie Yuan was interested for a while, and pouted Shi Lang loudly.
"Don't make a fuss. Beware of Lao Shi twisting your neck. Shi Lang didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to move out of Shi Tianji to block himself.
"Hey, don't change the subject. Xie Yuan is dedicated to his sister. And of course, I have to think about my big sister everywhere. Look at what a cheerful person my big sister is. You can't hide it so that people can't see through what you're thinking. In front of my eldest sister, I, the eldest brother, want to call the shots for her. You have to give my big sister a clear answer. Is this flower offered or not? Shi Tianji did not let Shi Lang's idea of changing the topic succeed, but further helped Xie Yuan to ask Shi Lang.
"Good, good, no problem. When I get to that maple forest, I can't pick a bunch of maple leaves! Shi Lang couldn't resist Xie Yuan and Shi Tianji, so he had to agree.
Seeing Shi Lang's embarrassment, Ye Ruliu's heart was filled with infinite tenderness. Ye Ruliu has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and she is used to seeing and tired of those people who are inconsistent, human-faced, and sanctimonious. Shi Lang is not good at hiding the truth and transparency of his inner emotions, which is one of the important reasons why Ye Ruliu likes Shi Lang.
"Everyone speed up, so that we can witness the happy moment of Shi Lang and Miss Ye earlier." Luo Shiyin, who rarely jokes, was also interested at this time, and he said happily to everyone.
"Good come!" Shi Tianji was extremely excited at this time, he was the first to step out of his two thick legs, pouting his huge ass and climbing up.
Offering flowers to Ye Ruliu in front of several brothers and commanders, Shi Lang was somewhat uncomfortable. He wanted to pick a bunch of maple leaves to deal with it quickly, but when he walked in front of Ye Ruliu with the bouquet of maple leaves he had just picked in his hand in the noise of Shi Tianji and Xie Yuan, and when he saw Ye Ruliu's autumn eyes, his heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and the past scenes of him and Ye Ruliu from knowing each other to accompanying each other quickly flashed in front of him. The beloved in front of her resolutely left everything she had, followed herself to this dangerous Korean battlefield, and risked death many times to pull herself back from the death line. To be able to get this strange woman to be with him for life, what more can a husband ask for?
"Ru Liu, I know that at this moment, any words of gratitude are so pale and weak. I just want to say to you that being able to meet you in this life is a blessing that I Shi Lang cultivated in my previous life. Shi Lang's voice trembled a little, and he solemnly handed over the bunch of maple leaves in his hand to Ye Ruliu, and held Ye Ruliu's hands tightly.
"Brother Shi Lang, don't say anything extraordinary, I am willing to follow you forever." Ye Ruliu deeply felt Shi Lang's true feelings, she approached Shi Lang, looked up at Shi Lang's fiery eyes, and said happily.
"My mother, it's too numb!" Seeing Shi Lang and Ye Ru Liu Qingqing's appearance, Shi Tianji closed his eyes a little exaggeratedly, and then tilted his head to Xie Yuan's shoulder beside him.
But Xie Yuan didn't buy Shi Tianji's account at all, he saw Shi Tianji's head leaning against him, and immediately deftly dodged to the side.
Shi Tianji couldn't restrain himself and fell heavily to the ground.
"Hahaha......" Seeing Shi Tianji's funny appearance lying on the ground, the others present couldn't help laughing.
When everyone climbed to the top of Guanyin Peak, the last sunset in the west had just receded. Standing on a huge bluestone at the top of the peak and looking around, the entire Jilong Mountain was shrouded in the heavy twilight before the dark night came. In the southeast-facing sky, a crooked crescent moon can't wait to hang in the light clouds. After a busy day, a variety of birds are returning to their nests.
The Guanyin Temple at the top of the peak stands in front of a cliff at this time like an old man who is dying.
"Let's go, let's be with Guanyin Bodhisattva tonight." Li Ruzhu said wittily.
"Are there monks living in this temple?" Luo Shiyin wanted to find out the situation inside before entering the temple, so he asked Li Ruzhu.
"Probably not. It is a temple that has been abandoned for many years. It is estimated that there will be no one. Li Ruzhu said.
"Hey, there seems to be a fire in this temple." Ye Ruliu was the first to discover the situation in the Guanyin Temple.
"Shhhhhhhhhhh
The squad members immediately became alert. Everyone lowered their bodies and quietly hid behind a boulder.
A woman's cry can be faintly heard coming from the temple.
