Chapter 7 Finding the Goal

I thought I would be able to get out of the mountain before dark, but after walking for a while, I realized that I had made a mistake.

When we came, we came empty-handed, and when we went back, Huzi and I each carried a roe deer weighing dozens of pounds on our shoulders. So the two of us began to be anxious, and in this hurry, we lost our sense of proportion on our feet, and as soon as the tiger slipped under his feet, he fell into the ditch next to him.

I threw down the roe deer and shouted, "Huzi, it's all right!" ”

Huzi said below: "I'm fine! ”

Huzi picked up the shotgun that had fallen to the side and put it on his back first. Then I carried the roe deer again, and I stretched out my arm and pulled him to it.

I said, "You can't be in a hurry, it's better to be greedy for the dark than to fall to death." ”

The rest of our road was cautious, and before we reached the bottom of the mallet mountain, it was already dark.

We could only fumble our way forward with flashlights, and I said, "It's no problem to get out of this mallet mountain before the fog starts." ”

Huzi said, "Yes, if we are trapped by the fog, we will have to squat here for one night." ”

I said, "You have to touch it back." Squatting here for a night, if you don't freeze to death, you only have half a life left. ”

A few minutes later, fog began to rise in the woods. The fog seemed to come out of the ground, first from the surface and then gradually spread around.

As soon as the fog came, I could smell the fruit.

Huzi sniffed a few times and said, "Lao Chen, there is an apple smell in this fog, do you smell it?" ”

I hummed and said, "Not only does it smell like apples, but I smell it like pears." Probably once this was a royal orchard, and apples and pears fell to the ground, and now the smell spreads out with the mist. ”

It's not like that, as long as I smell this smell, I immediately feel very relaxed, and all my worries are instantly relieved.

The worries are gone, the fears are gone, and all the negativity is gone. The rest of the road was much easier.

Huzi and I finally walked out of Bangmao Mountain at nine o'clock in the evening.

But after it came out, it felt like something was wrong. In front of the two of us, there was a magnificent palace hall.

The main hall of this palace is at the foot of the mallet mountain, the flashlight shines on the past, the black tiles and black pillars, the black gate, the momentum is extraordinary.

Huzi and I looked at each other, and we were a little blindsided.

Huzi said: "Lao Chen, this is impossible! Where did this hall come from? ”

I said, "Mirage! ”

Huzi was bold and was about to move forward, but I grabbed him as soon as I grabbed him, and I said, "Don't trespass, be careful of being caught by the Yin soldiers." ”

Huzi said: "Do you really believe that there are Yin soldiers? ”

I exhaled, I looked at the main hall in front of me, and then slowly lifted it with a flashlight, shining directly above the gate, where there happened to be a black plaque with three large golden characters shining on it: Oolong Palace!

Huzi said: "Lao Chen, have we found the Oolong Palace?" Are we lost? ”

I looked up at the mallet mountain in the darkness, then shook my head and said, "I'm not lost." ”

Huzi was about to go up and take a look, so I grabbed him as soon as I grabbed him.

I said, "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

Huzi said: "We have guns, what are we afraid of!" ”

I said, "The second master is still waiting for us." Everything went back and discussed with the second uncle before making a decision. ”

Huzi was reluctant, so I still pulled him back.

We lived not far below, and the view from the street at this time was a little different from what we saw during the day.

There are manicured trees and flower beds on the roadside, and there are lights flashing in the houses on the roadside. It's clear that there are a lot of people living here.

Huzi and I walked forward step by step, and when we were only about fifty meters away from where we lived, two rows of lanterns suddenly appeared in front of us, and then we heard crackling footsteps.

Far away, I saw a very large sedan chair swaying by the light of the lantern in front of me.

Huzi and I were directly dumbfounded, dumbfounded. Completely forgetting that we still have a pair of legs to move.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed out from the side, and it was Er'er. I knew that the second pick-up was coming, but I didn't react, and I was numb at this point.

Er Zhu'er said loudly: "Hide! ”

After saying that, he came to the two of us, grabbed us with both hands, and pinched me hard, and the pain made me sober up.

I turned my head and said, "Second uncle! ”

Huzi said, "Second father, why are you here?" ”

"This is not the place to talk, follow me."

The three of us squatted together, and he covered us directly with a blanket, leaving a gap.

After a dozen seconds, the group of people arrived on the street in front of us. I could see clearly through the lantern that there were maids and guards, and they were hugging the big palanquin and trembling towards the main hall in front of me.

They were about to pass, but Huzi sneezed at this time.

At this moment, the sedan chair stopped.

Immediately after, a guard with a knife approached.

Er Zhu'er whispered, "Don't breathe, he can't see us." ”

I held my breath and stared at the guard with round eyes. I wanted to see him clearly, but he kept coming up to us and I didn't see his face.

His face was black, but I could faintly see a pair of glittering eyes.

The guard walked up and down in front of us, as if looking for us, but we were in front of him, and he turned a blind eye. After about thirty seconds, he turned and went back. This big sedan chair can be regarded as moving again.

I was suffocated, and I took a sharp breath to come in, and if I held it again, I would suffocate to death.

After that, we watched the big sedan chair arrive in front of the gate of the Oolong Palace, and then, the gate opened, and the big sedan chair was carried in. Then, the door closed, and there was complete silence.

Erzhu'er lifted the blanket, stood up and said, "It's okay, this is the Yin soldier who crosses the border." ”

I looked at the Oolong Hall over there, and I said, "Second master, how is it possible?" ”

Er Zhu'er didn't say anything, just said, "Let's go." ”

We returned to the main road, and Erjie'er turned on the flashlight to shine on the ground, and soon, his flashlight did not move, and there was a copper coin on the ground. He bent down and picked it up and handed it to me.

I took it and saw that it was the treasure of the drunken capital.

We walked forward, and we were able to pick up one after a short distance, and at this point, we picked up more than a dozen copper coins. Huzi and I can only be amazed now, and if we don't see it with our own eyes, we still can't believe it.

However, I still feel in my heart that this must be done by someone with ulterior motives. This kind of thing is ridiculous.

We came back to the courtyard from the back door, and we thought that Hu Junjie would send someone to keep an eye on us, but they didn't do that, and we went back to our two-story building very smoothly.

Er Zhu'er said: "Chen Yuan, you go to Hu Junjie and let him come to get the food in person." Remember to let him come in person, so that you can negotiate the price. ”

I hummed and took off my raincoat first, and I felt a little lighter. After that, I grabbed a piece of meat that had been grilled and bit it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which was simply a delicacy in the world. When I had my fill, I went downstairs and headed for the front yard.

When I entered the hall through the back door, I saw Hu Junjie and the others leaning together, and their faces were all very bad. As soon as I came in, someone suddenly opened their eyes and shouted after seeing me: "General Hu, Chen Yuan is back!" ”

Chen Yuan suddenly got up, and when he saw me, he said loudly: "Chen Yuan, it's great that you can come back, I thought you and Huzi died outside!" ”

I beckoned and said, "General Hu, you can't expect me to be better!" The prey has been struck, you come with me, go get food. ”
