Chapter 186: The Mantuo Tribe
"Wake up, look he's awake!" As soon as Zhu Mingyang opened his eyes, he saw Cui Cuijuan's beautiful face, and then looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with burnt faces, and what was even more funny was that all the people were soaked, and there were crystal droplets of water hanging from the corners of their clothes.

It turned out that under the waterfall is a bottomless pool, the position of the waterhole is very appropriate, as if the work of the devil's axe, everyone rode down from the waterfall but just landed in the pool, the waterhole played a buffering role, so everyone was in danger, and since leaving the woods, everyone seemed to be much more awake, and the head was not so dizzy.
"Childe, you finally woke up, scared everyone to death, fortunately, Miss Cuicui is familiar with water and is good at medical skills, otherwise you would have gone to report to Lord Yama." Li Chunfeng approached Zhu Mingyang and said.
Zhu Mingyang stood up with Cuicui's support, and spit out the residual water in his stomach, looking very uncomfortable.
"I'm fine, with Cuicui taking care of me, how can I be fine!" Zhu Mingyang cast an affectionate gaze at Cuicui.
"Fujunji people have their own natural appearance, and there must be no danger!" Cuicui said softly.
"Alright, you two don't show your affection in front of us!" Gao Yanyan said with a smile.
"Where's Yue'er?" Zhu Mingyang suddenly raised his head and looked around for Xu Yue'er's shadow.
"Master Zhu doesn't need to panic, look!" Li Cheng suddenly pointed to Xu Yue'er on the beach in the distance.
Although Xu Yue'er's face was pale on the beach, her chest kept rising and falling, as if she was asleep, and Zhu Mingyang was relieved to see that Xu Yue'er was fine.
"Li Gongzi, thank you this time!" Zhu Mingyang said gratefully.
"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it!" Li Cheng said humbly.
"Maybe it's a small thing for Li Gongzi, but Cuicui and Yue'er are the most important people in my life to me!" Zhu Mingyang said deeply.
"Master Zhu, I really envy you, you can have two virtuous ladies, but I don't know when I will find my sweetheart!" Li Cheng suddenly remembered Lazhen.
"Li Gongzi, I believe you will find true love!" Zhu Mingyang gently patted Li Cheng's shoulder.
"Maybe!" Li Cheng sighed deeply.
After this kind of contact, Zhu Mingyang suddenly felt that the gentleman in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye. The last time he teased Wu Zetian and Cuicui in Chang'an Li Cheng, Zhu Mingyang always thought that Li Cheng was a prodigal son, but in Huayuan Li Cheng he looked invincible.
"Let's find a family first! Perhaps the village doctor here might know about Cuicui's illness. Zhu Mingyang pointed into the distance.
The people led the horses, ignoring the soaked clothes on their bodies, and began to look for the village they had just seen. There is a different taste under the waterfall, country roads, strange traffic, and fertile fields are staggered, but the village is far farther than what I saw just now, and I saw a row of simple thatched huts standing in the distance after walking for a long time.
Before they got closer, they heard the sound of chickens and dogs barking in the distance, and several children were playing and chasing each other on the fork in the road at the entrance of the village. After walking in the uninhabited forest for a few days, Zhu Mingyang suddenly heard the traces of people, which made Zhu Mingyang feel a little happy in his heart.
But this joy turned into a necessity in a moment, and when everyone reached the entrance of the village, the children at the entrance of the village ran towards the village as if they had seen a plague god, and the whole village was silent in a few moments.
When everyone walked into the village, they found that the door of the village was closed door to door, and the originally lively village became a "no-man's village!" ”
"Strange! How can this be, are we so terrible? Zhu Mingyang said to himself.
When Zhu Mingyang saw this scene, he remembered that in Journey to the West, every time Zhu Bajie fasted, he scared the people out of the house, but he didn't know why these people were also hiding.
"It seems that the people here are deliberately avoiding us!" Li Cheng said slowly, and he saw several pairs of eyes staring at him through the crack in the door.
"It seems that there must be a secret here!" Li Chunfeng also noticed a trace of abnormality.
"Could it be that this is the legendary Mantuo tribe!" Marber thought for a moment and said.
"The Mantuo tribe?" Everyone asked in unison.
"I also heard the older guide talk about this place name!" Marber said nonchalantly.
"Don't care so much about it for now, let's ask the family first." Zhu Mingyang handed over Yue'er on horseback to Cuicui and walked towards a family.
"Anyone?" Zhu Mingyang straightened his hair and the completely soaked fox fur, knocked lightly on the door, the knock broke the silence of the village, but the door never opened, Zhu Mingyang knocked lightly on the door three times again, but there was still no response.
"Why don't you let me smash the door and rush in!" Gao Yanyan has been a mountain bandit in the mountains for a long time, but at this time, she revealed the nature of a mountain bandit.
"Don't be reckless!" Li Chunfeng hurriedly stepped forward to stop Gao Yanyan.
"Ahh Gao Yanyan sneezed deeply.
"Let me think!" Zhu Mingyang paced back and forth.
"There it is! Chunfeng, come here! Suddenly, Zhu Mingyang's eyes lit up and whispered into Li Chunfeng's ear.
"Will this work?" Li Chunfeng suddenly showed embarrassment on his face.
"It's okay, trust me!" Zhu Mingyang said confidently.
"Okay!" After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he walked behind the rows of thatched houses.
Everyone was confused when they saw Li Chunfeng's back, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhu Mingyang's gourd. After a long time, wisps of green smoke rose from behind the rows of thatched huts, and the smoke was mixed with the smell of burnt thatch.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! Suddenly, Zhu Mingyang raised his voice and shouted at the village.
Zhu Mingyang was originally a teacher, and his voice was so loud that it resounded throughout the village. After a while, the door of a thatched hut opened, and a woman hurried out with a child in her arms, and then the villagers of every family ran out of the hut with their children in tow.
Eventually, all the village names came out of the huts, but when they all ran out, there was no green smoke, and there were a few more unfamiliar faces. When the villagers saw Zhu Mingyang and the others, they retreated far away and looked at Zhu Mingyang and the others from a distance.
"Who, who shouted about the misfire?" Suddenly, an old man came out with a cane on his crutches, and there was a hint of anger on his face.
"Old man, it's the fire I shouted, don't be surprised when the situation forces you!" Zhu Mingyang made a deep sigh.
"Who are you?" The old man asked alertly.
"We got lost on the Flying Cloud Waterfall and came here by mistake!" Zhu Mingyang told the old man what happened.
"We don't welcome strangers here, let's go!" The old man said angrily.
"Yes, let's go!" The villager behind the old man echoed.
"Old man, we won't eat and drink for nothing, we will pay!" Cuicui took out a handful of copper coins from her soaked money bag.
"Hmph, do you think we can be bought by gold and silver?" The old man said contemptuously.
"But we're hungry and cold now, and if we want to leave, we have to wait until we're well rested!" Zhu Mingyang pleaded.
"It's your business, you can't disturb our lives anyway!" The old man said stubbornly.
"Old man, look at my wife has been in a coma for a few days, and if I don't find a place to rest, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky!" Zhu Mingyang pointed to Xu Yue'er lying on horseback.
"Anyway...... Hey! Just as the old man was about to refuse again, his eyes suddenly stayed on Xu Yue'er's bun! (To be continued.) )
