Chapter 257: Strange Bamboo Forest
Li Qingcang took the pieces of cooked meat, stretched out his hand and handed it to the savage, the savage took the cooked meat with a smile, sat cross-legged, picked up a piece in his hand, and put all the rest in the crook of his leg, and then began to chew it, eating "hehe" sound, it seemed to be quite happy.
Everyone thought it was funny, and they all smiled and watched the wild man shake his head and munch while eating.
By the time everyone finished eating their share of the barbecue, the savage had already finished eating the ten catties of barbecue meat that was given to him, and at this moment he was rubbing his belly with his big fluffy hands, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked very comfortable.
The leopard was amused when he saw it, and shouted: "My mother, this guy looks like an old man now, you see how comfortable it is, and it will touch its stomach to eat!" β
Everyone laughed when they saw it, Li Qingcang stood up and said, "Okay, now let's go into the bamboo forest, walk a little longer, and find a spacious place to spend the night." β
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly got up, Hai Ruyu walked to the edge of the bamboo forest, took two bamboo leaves and looked at them in his hand, and said: "This place is so lush with arrows, it is estimated that there will be giant panda activities, which is its favorite food." β
Xiao Meng was interested when he heard it, and said, "Yes! And giant pandas? That's good, this place is probably not dangerous, the giant pandas look silly and cute! β
"That's not necessarily, wild things will hurt people as long as they feel the danger, and the giant panda is not just a vegetarian, I have seen it bite to death hares to eat meat, and there are the most 'bamboo leaves' in this kind of forest, but it is not a safe place, everyone should be careful when walking." β
The leopard rolled his eyes disdainfully and said: "Fierce captivity, don't you see that the child of the mountain god's grandfather is with us now, there is it, I estimate that in addition to the monster in the pool, we can go sideways in this old forest, just like Zhao Zilong in the Changban slope, wow, yes, ......, Lao Tzu wants to go in and kill him seven in and seven out!" β
After speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the bamboo forest, the red-haired savage stood beside Li Qingcang, watched the leopard enter, and barked at Li Qingcang, and turned in circles, Li Qingcang didn't understand what it meant, and saw everyone walking into the bamboo forest, and hurriedly waved to the wild man, and then walked towards the bamboo forest.
The wild man shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, hesitated for a moment, and followed Li Qingcang into the bamboo forest.
The bamboo on the periphery of the bamboo forest is not very dense, there is a stone path in the forest, this path is extremely narrow, only two people can barely be allowed to walk side by side, two shoulders are built with gravel on both sides, the roadside is full of arrows and bamboos, it is absolutely impossible to find if you don't walk in, what is surprising is that there is no grass and trees growing on this stone path, there are only some bamboo leaves scattered on it, it looks like it is very clean, not like the stone people, stone horses, and stones seen along the way, all of them are covered with moss, wrapped in vines.
The leopard rushed in and saw this stone path, and was quite happy, and turned back to everyone and shouted: "There is also a stone road here, probably built by ancient people, and it is much easier to walk now." After saying that, he put two feet on the rock.
Catherine, Li Qingcang, and Hai Ruyu frowned at the same time, feeling that this stone road was strange, not to mention other reasons, just say that this clean appearance is very wrong, this Jiulong Valley has always been the "forbidden place" of Shennongjia, almost no one dares to come, let alone enter the bamboo forest deep in this valley.
The stone path in this bamboo forest has at least a thousand years of history, and if no one cleans it, it will not be so clean, and even the bamboo leaves have not piled up much.
Catherine was the first to speak: "Strange, how do I think this road is often cleaned, leopard, don't run around, be careful!" β
The leopard shuddered when he heard this, and the rabbit rushed back to Li Qingcang's side, hiding behind Li Qingcang and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't you want to bluff me, there will be people sweeping the floor in this place, it's impossible, right?" β
Catherine said with a solemn face: "I don't know if anyone has swept the floor, but look at this ground, it looks like no one has been here for hundreds of years?" β
The leopard's heart immediately furious, this guy will not be very afraid when he sees things, even in the face of the strange things like the insect jade in the ancient tomb of Blackwater City, he dares to scold at the break, seeing the prehistoric monster-like water monster and the red-haired savage, this kid is also full of foul language, and the Japanese mother his father and scolds non-stop, completely a "mixed up" character.
But I am most afraid of this ethereal ghost ghost, thinking that this bamboo forest may have inhabited a group of "old ghosts" of the Tang Dynasty who have lived for thousands of years, carrying a broom to sweep the floor in this bamboo forest every day, I can't help but tremble and say: "Big ...... Big brother, you said there would be no one living in this forest, right? β
Li Qingcang didn't answer, squatted down, picked up two fallen leaves and observed them for a while, and said: "The leaves are very fresh, they have fallen in the past two days, there are no old leaves on the ground, this road has indeed been cleaned, as for whether it is a person or something to sweep it, I can't figure it out." β
Hai Ruyu is a staunch supporter of atheism, don't look at the little girl's quiet and soft-spoken words on weekdays, in fact, she is a bold lord like Li Qingcang, even if she encounters such a strange thing as "Yin Soldier Borrowing", she doesn't have any worries, and dares to take pictures with a camera.
Seeing Li Qingcang squatting down, she also squatted down beside Li Qingcang, but she didn't pick up the bamboo leaves on the ground to study, but rubbed her palms on the stone road for a while, then clapped her hands, stood up and said: "The stones on the stone road are polished very smooth, and there are almost no gaps in the joint parts of each stone, I only found these two points, I have an inference."
"After the last time I returned from Blackwater City with everyone, I spent a long time studying the history of Western Xia. The strange phenomenon of the pyramid-shaped tombs of the Western Xia kings piled up with rammed earth after thousands of years of wind and rain actually 'not a single inch of grass grows and birds do not fall' also attracted my attention, so I specially consulted some experts and scholars on this matter.
But these people's answers are varied, some people say that the rammed earth layer is very hard, and the grass seeds cannot be attached, and some people say that the ancients have any secret methods to process these rammed earth, and there is no convincing answer, but in any case, the lack of grass blades and moss on this stone road is similar to the situation that the tombs of the Xixia kings do not grow grass and do not fall birds, so it is not a very strange thing.
"Personally, I am inclined to believe that the ancients may have had some special means to deal with these rammed earth and stones, so no matter how long it takes, weeds will not grow, as for why there are not too many fallen leaves on it, I can't explain it now, but as long as you go down, you will always find a little clue."
Li Qingcang also stood up when he heard this, and thought: Xiao Yu'er is very knowledgeable, and some inexplicable things always say "1, 2, 3, 4" in her mouth, and everyone looks a lot better when she says this.
Hurriedly said: "Ruyu said well, I have also been to the tomb of the Xixia king, the mausoleum is indeed not a single grass, everyone don't think about it, walk along this road, we have guns and knives in the team, and this mountain overlord "red-haired savage" is our little brother, even if there are any demons and monsters, don't be afraid of it, annoy me, let the wild man tear it up!" β
When Hai Ruyu heard her sweetheart's praise, she smiled sweetly, and teased Li Qingcang: "No demons and monsters are as terrible as you, the savages are all your little brother, don't accept a thousand-year-old female ghost of the Tang Dynasty as your little brother later!" β
A few people on the side laughed when they heard it, and the feeling of panic just now disappeared in the laughter, and the savage who was standing on the side and waiting looked at everyone and laughed, and it actually "hehe...... Woohoo! He grinned and giggled, which made everyone even happier.
After laughing, the leopard was worried about his fiancΓ©e, and the chaos came up again, and there were no obstacles on the bamboo forest stone road.
When everyone saw that these two goods were in a mixed up, they didn't care about him, Li Qingcang gestured to ask the wild man to follow closely behind the leopard.
He took Hai Ruyu and Catherine in the middle, and Xiao Meng and Meng Yi were captured at the end.
The red-haired man ran back and forth, scurrying up to the wild man from time to time and squeezing with him, licking his tongue and wagging his tail as if to please the wild man.
The appearance of this dog's legs made everyone laugh again, and the nervous mood for several days was a lot more relaxed in this bamboo forest.
After walking for a long time, there were three forks in the road paved with stones of the same width, and the leopard stopped and cried out, "The sun is on!" There are still three forks in the road, which one to go now? Eldest brother! β
Li Qingcang crossed the line, came to the head of the line, stared at the three identical stone roads for a while, now everyone compass or something is out of order, the mechanical watch can also find the southeast and northwest against the sun, but the watch is also out of order, the leaves in the bamboo forest are not sunny and yin, all sides are lush, and the density of the bamboo leaves cannot be distinguished at all, so they have completely lost their sense of direction, and they have to wait until there are stars in the sky at night to find the direction.
Seeing the three roads, Li Qingcang thought for a while, and turned around to ask everyone's opinions, at this time, everyone shook their heads like rattles, what are you kidding, are you the boss? The boss who charges into battle goes first, the boss who commands the planning comes first, and the boss who buries the pot and cooks the food gets it first, and those of us who are small soldiers just follow behind and wave the flag and shout.
Li Qingcang looked at this group of pro-guards composed of uncles, aunts and grandmothers, and couldn't help but sigh, and howled: "What's the use of me taking you out, do you have one to help me get an idea?" β
As soon as the words fell, both ribs ached at the same time, and the two girls reached out and pinched the muscles on his waist, and said in unison in his ear: "What? Disgusted with us! β
Li Qingcang hurriedly raised his hands and shouted "surrender" before the second daughter let go of her fingers, clasped her hands to her chest triumphantly, and waited for Li Qingcang to make an idea.
