It was already afternoon when I said goodbye to the old man, and I originally wanted to ask Brother Monkey to rest at the old man's place for one night, but Brother Monkey said that it was important to hurry, and Senior Brother Sha also agreed with Brother Monkey's opinion, so I had to follow them and continue to move forward.

I don't know how long it has been, it's almost dark anyway, but we still haven't found anyone to stay in, not even a single one.

I couldn't help complaining: You see, if I had listened to the old pig, I had eaten and slept well at the old man's place, and then I went to the place where there was a house in one go; It's good now, I can't see a single figure in these ghost places...... Brother Monkey was angry again, so I had to keep silent again.

Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, bear with me, don't forget the purpose of our trip. I said that the old pig hadn't forgotten, but why did he have to eat and sleep? Otherwise, how can we move forward smoothly? Although Senior Brother Sha's words are true, since things have come to this point, it is useless for you to complain, let's save some effort to walk.

It was getting late and late, but there was still not a single family around, and finally, Brother Monkey told us to stop, saying that we were going to camp on the spot. The taste of sleeping in the open air is not pleasant, but because of the previous experience, the old pig can still settle for it.

This time, I was going to sleep in a tree, but Senior Brother Sha's words reminded me, so I changed my mind. Senior Brother Sha's words are like this: Second Senior Brother, have you forgotten the consequences of the last time you climbed a tree to sleep? The last time was the night after we helped catch the tiger spirit a few days ago, and we also failed to take care of the people who stayed overnight, so we also slept out for the night. At that time, I thought that if I slept on the ground, I would inevitably be infested by poisonous snakes and beasts, so I climbed up to the tree and slept with ingenuity, but the result was more serious, that is, the next day I was in pain all over my body.

Therefore, when Senior Brother Sha reminded me this time, I decided to sleep on the ground like Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha.

Although the taste of sleeping in the open air is uncomfortable, but because I have walked such a long distance before, I still fell asleep quickly, and I can't remember what I dreamed of, anyway, one fragment at a time, very fragmentary.

The next day, Senior Brother Sha woke me up. Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, the sky is already bright, we should be on the road. I propped up half of my body and looked around, and saw that Brother Monkey was already sitting on the stone over there eating the mountain fruit that I got out of nowhere, and Senior Brother Sha was exercising in the open space next to him, the kind with his neck twisting and his ass twisting.

Brother Monkey saw that I was watching him eat in a daze, and hurriedly turned around, as if I would disappear when I glanced at the mountain fruit in his hand. Seeing that both of them were up, I got up and said, "Brother Monkey!" Don't be so careful, the old pig won't eat your stuff! Brother Monkey said: Lao Sun is not afraid of you eating, but afraid of you seeing; As soon as I saw your lustful eyes, my grandson lost his appetite.

I said Brother Monkey, you are really interesting, and I actually said that my old pig's eyes will affect your appetite! When I got up, I took out the cup in my bag and scooped a glass of water from a nearby creek, and then brushed my teeth.

After sitting for a while, Brother Monkey beckoned us to leave.

It seems that there will always be a forest in front of me, and there is still no family, and in the end, I still ate the mountain fruits that Brother Monkey picked from the tree, probably because I was too hungry, and it was quite smooth to eat them at this time. I guess this is called "hunger does not choose food".

People are relatively unconvinced, and only when the high-quality environment no longer exists will they feel that the things that are usually disdained by themselves are also precious.

Soon it was afternoon again, but we still hadn't found anyone, and seeing that the sun was about to set, we didn't get anxious. The sun had completely set, and everywhere it was dark.

Suddenly, Brother Monkey, who was walking in the front, shouted: Idiot! Senior Brother Sha! Nerds! Senior Brother Sha! Senior Brother Sha immediately ran over after hearing Brother Monkey's shout, and I shouted as I passed: "Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you?" What a fuss! Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, come and see, there is someone in front! I walked up to them and saw that there was no one in front of me. So I asked Senior Brother Sha: Where is the family you are talking about? Senior Brother Sha pointed his hand forward and said, "Oh, that's not?"

I followed Senior Brother Sha's direction, but unfortunately I didn't see anything like a house.

Brother Monkey saw me probing my brain, and said in a contemptuous tone: You can't see a house here! I said, since you can't see the house, then you still say that there is a house? Brother Monkey "cut", and then said: You are so unconvinced that you are a nerd, you raise your head and take a closer look to see what is in front of you? I raised my head and looked at the sky in front of me according to Brother Monkey's words, and saw that there was nothing special except that it was a little brighter than the color of the sky on our side. I told Brother Monkey what I saw, and Senior Brother Sha said: Yes! Second Senior Brother, think about it, since the sky over there is brighter than this side, it must be because of the lights, doesn't having lights prove that there are people's homes?

Listening to Senior Brother Sha's explanation, I suddenly realized, and then nodded and muttered: Well, it makes sense! Reasonable!

Senior Brother Sha said: Let's go quickly, otherwise it will not be good to disturb them when they are sleeping.

So, let's start to speed up. Because we know that there are people in front of us, we move forward much faster. As long as there is a head, people are more active in doing things.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we found that there was not only one family, nor more than a few families, but a small town, a large area with brilliant lights. It was even faster when I went down, and it only took a moment to reach the edge of the town.

I found a hotel and decided to stay, and the boss was stunned for a while after seeing us, and then reacted and asked us what kind of room we wanted. Brother Monkey said: The best! The boss was stunned when he heard this, and then he reacted, and then he answered the order and asked someone to prepare to go.

Just as we were about to go upstairs, we met the boss who came down from upstairs. The boss stared at us left and right for a long time before asking, "Are you from afar?" Brother Monkey said: How do you know? I'm really confused to think about Brother Monkey, with our appearance, it would be really strange if it wasn't from afar.

The boss replied with a grin: This is easy to recognize! Just as we were about to continue walking upstairs, the boss spoke again: Where are you going? I was curious, so I turned around and asked, "Does this have anything to do with you?" The boss smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me, but it definitely has something to do with you."

Brother Monkey asked: How do you say this? The boss said, "If you want to go to the front, then I advise you to go back." Why? Senior Brother Sha asked.

The boss said, "I saw that you were new here, so I asked you if you wanted to go to the front; Because the front is unpassable. Can't get by? Brother Monkey said: What the hell is going on? The boss said: This place is called Tianya Town, which has a history of hundreds of years; And the reason why it is called Tianya Town is because there is a death valley in front of it, but anyone who enters it cannot come out alive, so people call this place Tianya Town very vividly, which means that you can't go any longer here, and then go is the end.

Death Valley? The three of us asked in unison.

That's right! It's a valley of death, and it's said that no one has been able to pass through it for hundreds of years.

So what's inside Death Valley? I asked.

The boss said: Since no one can come out alive, then naturally no one dares to enter anymore, so naturally I don't know anything about the situation inside.

Hasn't anyone tried it in hundreds of years? Senior Brother Sha asked.

How not? Basically, every year, some brave people go to find out, but the final result is the same, they can't get out, and they don't even see a corpse; However, there are also lucky ones, who seem to want to crawl back in a dying struggle, but unfortunately, they all died without exception when they just climbed to the junction of Tianya Town and Death Valley.

So, the boss adds: since then, fewer and fewer people have dared to take risks anymore. Could it be that someone assassinated them? Brother Monkey asked.

No! The boss replied in the affirmative: because there were no scars on the deceased's body, there were no traces of beatings, and it was completely a natural death.

Could it be that someone poisoned them? Senior Brother Sha said.

Nor did it! Because the results of the autopsy proved that there was not a trace of toxicity in the deceased's body. The boss said. Is it true or fake? Don't lie to us? Seeing that the boss said that he had a nose and eyes, and it was so mysterious, I couldn't help but be suspicious.

The boss said that if you don't believe it, you can go to the street and ask around, so you won't know? Most of the guests walked back the way they came.

What about the minority? Brother Monkey asked.

A small number of people, some of whom did not believe in evil, ended up dying in the valley of death. The boss said.

Brother Monkey said: Okay, we know, thank you for the reminder, let's go to bed first. The boss said that well, we have an obligation to remind outsiders so that nothing unpleasant will happen. Then the boss went straight down.

When I went upstairs, I asked Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, do you think it will be a trick made by the boss? Want us to stay here longer? Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, it's impossible, even if the boss wants us to stay here for a few more days, there is no need to tell such a big lie? Shall we go out and ask? Isn't it? Brother Monkey said that it should be true, and the expression on his face didn't look like he was lying. As he spoke, he went to our room, and Senior Brother Sha said: Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, let's not discuss those things yet, sleep well tonight, and wait until tomorrow for us to go out and ask what the hell is going on, see what those people outside say, and then make up our minds.

That night, there was no talk, and we all slept until dawn. After breakfast, Brother Monkey decided to go out for a walk, I also wanted to take the opportunity to go out for a walk, but Brother Monkey didn't allow it, Brother Monkey said that I might scare people when I went out, so it was better to stay in the room with Brother Sha. I thought about Brother Monkey's appearance is not much better, but after thinking about it, Brother Monkey is the most authoritative person among us, and we must listen to him; So in the end, I had to stop fighting.

Although the old pig prefers freedom, he still believes in authority, as if he would have no sense of security without authority.

Brother Monkey came back after a short time, and I asked Senior Brother Sha if he had collected any information? Brother Monkey said that the collection was collected, but it was the same as the innkeeper's statement, and everyone outside was talking about Death Valley.

Is that true? So what's going on? Even if it's not all true, at least it shows that there is such a thing as Death Valley. Brother Monkey said.

Senior Brother Sha looked worried and said, "Senior brother and second senior brother, how should this be?" Brother Monkey paced back and forth in the room a few times, and then said in a categorical tone: Don't worry, let's stay here first, take my grandson to find out, and then make plans.

Hearing that Brother Monkey was going alone, Senior Brother Sha immediately disagreed. Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Monkey, we are here together, we should go together, if Death Valley is really as powerful as they say, then Senior Brother, we can still help if you encounter any trouble.

I thought that there was nothing wrong with Brother Monkey going alone, but then I was afraid that Brother Monkey would be called a coward in the future, so I also echoed and said: Yes! Brother Monkey! It's better for us to go with you, although you have seventy-two changes, but we are not familiar with it here, so it is better to be careful.

Brother Monkey thought for a while and said: That's fine, then let's go over and have a look in the afternoon.

And so it was settled. At noon, the innkeeper heard that we were going to go into Death Valley to have a look, and he was stunned, and hurriedly said: That's not possible, go in and see it's terrible! Senior Brother Sha said Brother, you don't have to be so surprised, we have the ability, and we are not afraid of the general environment.

It seemed that the boss wanted to say something, but seeing that we ignored it, I finally had to retreat.

Before leaving, the boss said: You must be careful yourself, no one knows the situation there.

Brother Monkey said okay, you are busy with your going, we have made up our minds, and we must pass.

After eating and resting for a while, we set off.

After walking for about half an hour, the people in front of me were completely extinct, and it looked very desolate. Senior Brother Sha said: It seems that it is not far from the Valley of Death.

After walking for a while, a stone tablet appeared in front of me, which was engraved with the words "Forbidden Land of Death Valley, do not enter!" ”。 The big characters were all painted bright red, which was very conspicuous, and the stone monument stood next to the main road. Just as I was still carefully observing the words on the stone tablet, I heard Brother Monkey calling us.

Senior Brother Sha said: Second Senior Brother, let's go over, Brother Monkey is calling us. I wondered if the rest of the valley was the same except for the lack of people, so why couldn't people go out when they came in? Of course, this is a question that can only be answered later; Now Senior Brother Sha is telling me to go to Brother Monkey's side.

I trotted over and asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Monkey pointed to the hillside next to him and said, "You see, not only here are the stone tablets that mark Death Valley, but there are also those places; In this way, this Death Valley is really that powerful. I looked in the direction pointed out by Brother Monkey, and saw that as far as the eye could see, there was a stone tablet that was exactly the same as the one next to us at intervals, and there were also bright red characters on it, needless to say, the content on it must be the same as what we saw.

A little further away, the vision is blurred, and there is a lot of fog in the air. Although the vision was blurry, I could still faintly see that there seemed to be a valley in the distance, and the surrounding area seemed to be a cliff, and now it looked swarthy.

Brother Monkey and Senior Brother Sha also saw it, and Senior Brother Sha pointed to the dark scene and said: Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, that must be what people call the Valley of Death.

Brother Monkey looked ahead in a daze, as if he was considering whether we should continue to move forward. Brother Monkey, let's go back, since so many people have died here, there must be something powerful in it, why don't we go back the way we came, and then find another one, designated to be able to pass, although it may take more time.

Brother Monkey glanced at it, but didn't speak, Senior Brother Sha spoke: Second Senior Brother, didn't you hear from the Lotus Monk that this road can be passed around here? Besides, analyzing according to what we have heard and seen, it can also prove what the old man said before.

Brother Monkey continued to wait and see, and after a long while, he turned back and said to us: According to my old grandson, this Death Valley is not as terrible as people say, but the yin qi here is a little heavier; Idiot, you go back to the hotel and ask the boss for some drinks; Senior Brother Sha, you go back with the nerd and go to the shop on the street to buy a few pairs of boots and a bag of lime.

Buying alcohol? Why do you buy alcohol? I asked, puzzled.

Don't ask so much first, just ask how to do what Lao Sun tells you to do, and you will naturally know later. Brother Monkey said sternly.

Big brother, why did you tell me to buy boots and lime? Senior Brother Sha is also asking.

Don't ask, hurry up and do what Lao Sun said, otherwise you will miss the best time to enter the valley if you delay the hour; As for why, I'll tell you later.

Seeing that he couldn't come up with a reason, Senior Brother Sha and I had no choice but to go back according to Brother Monkey's instructions.

The boss seemed very happy to see us go back, and said, "It's good that you're back, and I'll just say that you can't go in there; Rest here for a few days and then go home without stopping.

I said brother, you are mistaken, we are back to prepare things this time, and we haven't gone in yet?

Do you really want to go in? The boss's look of astonishment came up again.

Brother, where are you talking about this, do you think the old pig looks like a lie?

The boss looked up and down and shook his head.

I said okay, we have to pass, so don't say any more; Prepare some good wine and food for us at dinner, and we'll come back when we go.

The boss looked at us a few more times before walking away thoughtfully. After I went back, I went to the hotel to drink, and Brother Sha went to the shoe store to buy shoes, and I went to the grocery store to buy lime.

Half an hour later, Senior Brother Sha and I met at the door of the hotel again, and the owner of the inn heard that we were going to take these things to Death Valley, with an incredible look, shook his head and walked away suspiciously.

We soon arrived at the same place we had arrived at before, and Brother Monkey was still standing on the highest stone monument and looking around in the distance.

Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Monkey, you have bought all the things you want us to buy, we can move forward now, right? I said, Senior Brother Sha, what are you anxious about? Brother Monkey hasn't explained to us the purpose of these things; At the very least, let us know what we plan to do when we go in. Brother Monkey took a look at me, and then jumped down to check the soju, boots, and lime we bought.

Brother Monkey opened the bottle cap and sniffed the soju I bought, then wrinkled his nose and said: Idiot, how did you do it, buy such a low-degree soju! Isn't there a little higher?

Brother Monkey, you can't complain about this, the old pig doesn't know what you buy soju for, if you drink it, it's enough, more than 60 degrees!

I heard that it was more than 60 degrees, so Brother Monkey put on the bottle again and stopped talking.

Senior Brother Sha said: By the way, Brother Monkey, why did you ask us to buy these things and come back?

Brother Monkey turned his hands behind his back to the side of Death Valley, and then said: You look at the fog in this valley, you know that the yin in it is very dignified, and it is estimated that it will be cold.

I and Senior Brother Sha looked at each other for a moment, and then Senior Brother Sha asked again: What are you buying boots and lime for? I bought boots because Lao Sun considered that the yin qi in it was relatively heavy, and there must be a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions, and we could walk more boldly after wearing boots; As for lime, it is also prepared to guard against poisonous snakes and scorpions, etc., lime is alkaline, and those poisonous guys will take the initiative to avoid them after smelling them.

Oh! I see! Senior Brother Sha suddenly realized when he heard this, and nodded and praised at the same time.

Now that everything is ready, let's go in now! Senior Brother Sha said. Brother Monkey nodded, and then ordered us to put on our boots, and then each of us had some lime powder on them, saying that it was okay to catch a little bit and sprinkle it on them when we encountered poisonous snakes or something.

When everything was ready, I opened the bottle and got ready to drink. Brother Monkey's eyes were quick, and he jumped up to me and snatched the wine bottle and said sharply: Idiot, who made you drink? Brother Monkey, didn't you say that there is a lot of yin in Death Valley, and you need to drink to warm up? I'm puzzled, this monkey brother is changing too fast.

Drinking is good, but it's not now! In the future, I have to completely obey the command of my grandson! Brother Monkey said sternly.

I put on the bottle cap and said, "Okay! When I entered, I had been cautiously following behind Senior Brother Sha, for fear that something would suddenly come out and swallow my old pig, although I didn't know what was waiting for us in the next moment.

I hid behind Senior Brother Sha, and Senior Brother Sha hid behind Brother Monkey.

In fact, Senior Brother Sha did not hide behind Brother Monkey, but followed Brother Monkey, but in order to express unity, Lao Zhu appropriated the words.

As we walked, the mountain road gradually extended downward, that is, into the valley; The further I went down, the more I felt cold. I asked Senior Brother Sha if he felt this way, and Senior Brother Sha thought for a while before saying: It seems to be like that. After walking for a while, I couldn't help it, so I said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, can you drink soju now? The old pigs are freezing to death! Brother Monkey looked back and said, "Open it up, drink two sips per person."

I must have felt cold when I thought about Brother Monkey. I muttered while drinking: Brother Monkey, you are really, since you have already seen that it will be colder in this valley, why don't you ask us to buy a few sets of padded jackets? Then you don't have to drink!

Oh, yes! Senior brother, the second senior brother is quite reasonable! Senior Brother Sha also said.

Brother Monkey said: How do you know that although it is relatively cold in this valley, it is useless to wear a padded jacket.

Why? Senior Brother Sha asked. It's colder here, and the air is more humid than the outside, if we wear a padded jacket in, the damp and cold air will inevitably get into the padded jacket, so that the padded jacket can not only not keep warm, but also aggravated, think about it, can it be comfortable to wear on the body? Brother Monkey said.

Oh! I see! Senior Brother Sha said. What I said was not unreasonable, so I had to continue drinking.

Let's observe all the way, Senior Brother Sha said: Brother Monkey, you said that there is no difference between this and the outside, why is it so powerful? This cold is just normal, and other valleys will be colder as well. Brother Monkey didn't answer directly, and it took a long time before he said: That's why it's called Death Valley.

I shouted while looking around: Most of them are making a fuss, looking at it like this, it is estimated that there are a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts here, but it can't be said that you can't get out if you come in!

As he walked, Senior Brother Sha suddenly shouted "Ah". When I looked back, Brother Monkey was already standing beside Senior Brother Sha, and asked while looking up and down: Senior Brother Sha! Senior Brother Sha! What happened to you? Seeing this, I hurriedly ran over.

I saw Senior Brother Sha's left arm covering his right arm, looking painful. Senior Brother Sha, what's wrong? I asked. I...... I ......, Senior Brother Sha can't seem to even say a complete sentence.

I hurriedly looked at his right arm, and continued to ask while looking: Senior Brother Sha, what's wrong with your right hand? Dislocated? Brother Monkey also looked at Senior Brother Sha's right arm over and over again, but there was no trace of injury at all.

My right hand hurts so much! Senior Brother Sha finally uttered a complete sentence.

Hurt? Why did it hurt all of a sudden? Brother Monkey and I are puzzled.

I don't know; Senior Brother Sha said: Just now I touched the stone on the side with my right hand, and it hurt so much!

Stone? Brother Monkey and I looked to the side according to Senior Brother Sha's words, and saw that there was indeed a big stone on the side of the road, but it was nothing special. How can your hands hurt so much when you touch them? I was about to try it myself, but I was opened by Brother Monkey.

Brother Monkey said: Idiot! You're looking for death! Don't you see that Senior Brother Sha is like this? You want to too! The old pig just wants to try! I said. Try? Brother Monkey looked angry. Come here! Hold on to Senior Brother Sha! Lao Sun went over to see what was going on. I went over to help Senior Brother Sha, and then Brother Monkey went over to the stone and took a closer look.

"Ah", Senior Brother Sha suddenly shouted again, and I was startled by Leng Buding. What's wrong? I hurriedly asked.

Oh no! The scope of the pain has expanded, and even the chest has begun to ache! Senior Brother Sha gasped and said with a hard look.

Yes? Brother Monkey, who was checking the stones over there, also hurriedly ran over and looked at Senior Brother Sha's right hand over and over again.

I said, Brother Monkey, can you be careful, Senior Brother Sha's hands are not quilts, can you turn them over and over like that? What's more, people are still in a lot of pain now! Brother Monkey seemed to react, and immediately put down Senior Brother Sha's right hand.

Senior Brother Sha! What the hell is going on? Brother Monkey asked.

I had only touched the stone just now, and I wanted to take a break, but who knew that suddenly my hand hurt terribly; Now not only does it hurt even more, but even the upper half of the body is starting to hurt even more.

Brother Monkey looked left and right, scratched his ears and thought for a while and said: Oh no!

I ask what's wrong? Brother Monkey said that the designated stone had a ghost, and maybe it was coated with poison.

I said Brother Monkey, you are really joking, you can't even see a figure in this barren mountain range, how can anyone do such a thing? What's more, this is Death Valley, who would dare to come in?

But after all, since Senior Brother Sha said that his hand hurt badly after pressing the stone, then it must be related to the stone, but so far I don't know what the reason is.

Just when Brother Monkey and I were at a loss, Senior Brother Sha suddenly shouted again, "Ah", which seemed even more miserable. Brother Monkey and I were completely blindsided, and I was at a loss to see Senior Brother Sha almost twisted in pain.

"Whoosh", something jumped over next to me, and suddenly, it startled me and Brother Monkey. Brother Monkey reacted relatively quickly, and immediately caught up to see what was going on.

I said, Brother Monkey, don't run around, Senior Brother Sha is hurt like this, you still have the heart to watch the excitement.

Brother Monkey didn't come back until a while.

Brother Monkey, what was that just now? I asked.

A dog! Brother Monkey said.

Dog? Are there still dogs in Death Valley? Alive? I continued.

Is it not alive or dead? Is! Brother Monkey said.

This seems a bit incredible, according to the fact that people can't survive here, why can't dogs? Brother Monkey said that this is also what Lao Sun wants to figure out. Nerds! Brother Monkey shouted.

What? The old pig is here! I replied. Nerds! What do you think happened to Senior Brother Sha? Brother Monkey said hurriedly.

Senior Brother Sha? I looked back, only to find that Senior Brother Sha's eyes had closed at some point, his face was pale, and he looked unconscious.

I was frightened, thinking that Senior Brother Sha was whining, so I hurriedly used my hand to probe his snort, and found that there was still a rhythm of breathing.

Fortunately, Brother Monkey, Senior Brother Sha is still alive! I breathed a sigh of relief.

Nonsense! What if you don't live? Brother Monkey looked annoyed.

Brother Monkey thought for a while and said: Senior Brother Sha must have fainted in pain, we have to wake him up quickly, if he is in a coma for too long, it will not be good.

I said: Brother Monkey, it's better to do this, let's carry Senior Brother Sha back for treatment first, and then we'll come back when his injuries are healed.

Brother Monkey said that it won't work, it seems that Senior Brother Sha's condition is more serious, and the speed of spread is relatively fast, according to their statement, Senior Brother Sha may not be able to wait for us to return to the place where we live.

So what to do? I asked. Brother Monkey scratched his ears and thought for a while and said: When my grandson goes to take a look, it is estimated that there are people nearby. Someone's home? How can it be! This is Death Valley! I said dismissively.

No one? So where did that dog come from? It can't be from a distant market town! Brother Monkey replied. I think that Brother Monkey's words must also be reasonable, listening to the tone of people outside, even people can't get out alive, so the dog that appears is a little strange.

Brother Monkey said that you are looking at Senior Brother Sha here, and Lao Sun will come over to take a look. After finishing speaking, Brother Monkey ran in the direction where he had been chasing the dog.

I kept reaching under Senior Brother Sha's nostrils to probe his snort, for fear that he would lose his breath. I rubbed my right arm as I called out to Senior Brother Sha, hoping to help a little, though I didn't know if that would work. It took a long time for Brother Monkey to come back. I said: Brother Monkey, if you have been there for half a day, if you carry Senior Brother Sha back, maybe you have already arrived; Have you found someone?

Found it, it's not far ahead! Brother Monkey said.

Can he help us? Can I find a cure for this barren mountain and wilderness? Brother Monkey said don't worry about it so much for now, since there are people in front of them, it has already proved that they are different, and they can survive in Death Valley, can they not do it without two brushes?

So Brother Monkey and I carried Senior Brother Sha forward one after the other in the direction that Brother Monkey had discovered, and when we walked for a short time, we saw a hut.

Brother Monkey pointed at it and said, "Oh, isn't that?" I said: Brother Monkey, you are really, it took so long a day to travel so closely? will be delayed! Brother Monkey said who was delayed? Lao Sun just wants to find out!

Far away, Brother Monkey shouted: Old man! Old man! Come and help! It turned out that there was a middle-aged man with very long hair and beard standing next to the room, who seemed to be a Taoist priest, but he did not have a Taoist priest's dust and robe, and I thought that he must have been because he hadn't shaved or had a haircut for too long, so he became what he is now.

I said, Brother Monkey, you are mistaken, how can you call people old men when they are still so young? But having said that, I also called him old man, because I couldn't find a better name.

Seeing that there were people, I also seemed to see a savior, and said: Old man! Please come over and help, my junior brother is poisoned, hurry up and find some medicine to try.

The strange thing is that no matter how I greet the old man with Brother Monkey, the old man still stands there motionless.

I said, Brother Monkey, have you read it wrong, could it be a stone statue?

Brother Monkey said.

Sure enough, after a while I realized it wasn't a stone statue but a person, because he was coming towards us. I thought he was here to help, and while greeting him, I asked, "Huh?" Old man, this is Death Valley, and you are still alive and well?

Hold it! "The old man" suddenly burst out.

I said that Brother Monkey is bad, we called him the old man just now, you see he is angry now.

Since the old man told us to stop, then we had no choice but to stop.

Brother Monkey put down Senior Brother Sha, and then walked to the old man's side and said respectfully: Old man, don't be angry, we are passers-by who passed through this Death Valley, I didn't expect my junior brother to be highly poisoned, and now I want to ask you to do a favor to save him.

Brother Monkey's tone was very sincere when he said this, and the old pig almost shed tears.

Hum! The old man flicked his sleeves, and then stood farther away from Brother Monkey, and said: "You have trespassed into my valley of death, and not only have you retreated without interest, but you have come here to shout, what a boldness!

Your Death Valley? Brother Monkey and I were stunned, not knowing what the old man meant.

The old man said: The old man has lived in this valley of death for generations, and he wanted to live a quiet life, but he didn't expect the world to continue to come to harass, so the ancestors configured a colorless and tasteless poisonous medicine, sprinkled up and down in this valley of death, but it was also quiet for many years, but I didn't expect that now you guys with strange shapes would dare to try to break into my room, and keep saying that I want to save you, it is really daring!

I quietly pulled Brother Monkey's sleeve and said: Brother Monkey, the old pig said, someone must have poisoned it, otherwise how could a good valley be called Death Valley.

Brother Monkey didn't answer me, but just moved closer to the old man, and then said in a stern voice: Old man, you don't know each other, what is the difference between such an act and robbers and bandits occupying the mountain as kings?

The old man didn't answer Brother Monkey's words, but also said in a very stern tone: If you don't retreat, don't blame the old man for being unkind to you.

Brother Monkey said: So my junior brother was poisoned by you? If you don't hand over the antidote today, Lao Sun will not be finished with you.

The old man saw that Brother Monkey's attitude was tough, and he couldn't help but calm down and take a serious look at our outfits.

After a while, the old man said: No wonder he is so arrogant, it turns out that he came prepared!

The old man said this by looking at the boots on our feet.

I think maybe it's the boots that made me and Brother Monkey not poisoned, I guess those people died because of this before.

Is it any wonder that those people died unexplained, it turned out that they were all poisoned by your family's colorless and odorless? I said indignantly.

That's right! The old man intervened: no one but me could recognize the poison; Of course, not to mention the antidote that can be made.

Brother Monkey was furious when he heard this: You bad old man who doesn't know what to do! Hurry up and get the antidote! Get out of this Death Valley! Otherwise, Lao Sun will be unkind to you! Brother Monkey was very stern when he said this, and the old man also lost his temper after hearing it: You scoundrel! Don't talk about trespassing into my situation, but also hurt people, it seems that it is not okay for the old body to teach you a lesson today!

When the old man finished speaking, he took out something, put it in his mouth, and blew it, making a "whine" sound.

Brother Monkey, come back quickly! The old man is moving the rescuers! I yelled at Brother Monkey.

It is estimated that Brother Monkey also felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, he ran towards me.

But the strange thing is that after the old man blew for a while and stopped, there was no large group of people around, which was not at all what we imagined.

Brother Monkey and I were both motionless and observing the movements around us, and suddenly, there was a rustling sound in our ears, as if it was raining.

Of course, it didn't really rain, because the old pig was bareheaded at the time, and if it was raining, he would definitely feel it.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of something dense and twisting coming towards us on the uphill next to me; If you look closely, it's all snakes!

Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey! You see! O snake! I hurriedly shouted.

Brother Monkey turned his head to look, and he was also frightened, and took two steps back in succession.

But Brother Monkey quickly retreated, why? It's not that Brother Monkey feels embarrassed, but there are also a lot of snakes behind us!

Finished! I said.

There are snakes on all sides, all coming towards us, and we have no way back.

Nerds! Pull out the lime and sprinkle it out! Just when I was at a loss, Brother Monkey was shouting.

After Brother Monkey reminded me like this, I suddenly remembered that before coming to Death Valley, Brother Monkey had given each of us a packet of lime powder, saying that it could dispel poisonous snakes and the like. I scrambled to pull out the lime powder, then grabbed a handful and threw it at the nearest group of snakes.

Sure enough, the snakes scattered and fled if they came into contact with the lime powder.

Just when I was secretly glad that we were well prepared, Brother Monkey was shouting again: Idiot! Hurry up and take care of Senior Brother Sha! Don't let the poisonous snake pass, Lao Sun will help you look at the periphery! After I agreed, I retreated to Senior Brother Sha, and sure enough, many poisonous snakes had almost already hit him.

I grabbed a handful and threw it at Senior Brother Sha's body, and Brother Monkey said: Idiot, can you be smarter? Don't sprinkle it on your body, then Senior Brother Sha won't be able to stand it!

So what to do? I asked.

Draw a circle with lime powder around Senior Brother Sha! Brother Monkey came up with an idea.

Oh! Got it! I hurriedly followed the method that Brother Monkey said, and it was really effective, and the snakes really retreated.

Nerds! Got it? Come and help! Brother Monkey is shouting again.

Oh! Here it comes! I said.

We also drew a circle with lime powder in a relatively large area, and then the snakes only dared to wander around outside the circle, looking at us and staring at us.

I said Brother Monkey, you really have a way, you can actually know in advance that there are poisonous snakes in here.

Brother Monkey didn't reply, just watched vigilantly at the movements of the surrounding snakes.

This angered the old man, and then he took out another thing from his waist and sent it to his mouth. It seems that the old man still wants to move the rescuers, but I don't know what the rescuers he moved this time are.

Brother Monkey said: Idiot! What about soju?

Why? I asked.

Don't ask so much! Hurry up and give it to me! Brother Monkey said hurriedly.

Oh! After I agreed, I handed the soju bottle pinned to my waist to Brother Monkey, and Brother Monkey took it and opened the cap and drank it violently.

I said Brother Monkey, slow down, the situation is urgent now, and if you drink too much, you will make a mistake! But Brother Monkey didn't care, he still drank heavily.

After drinking, Brother Monkey stuffed the wine bottle into my hand, and then ran out, in the direction of the old man. I don't know what kind of trick Brother Monkey is playing, so I can only look at him in a daze.

I saw Brother Monkey running for a while to reach the old man, and then a mist of water erupted from his mouth.

Understood, it turned out that Brother Monkey drank just now but in his mouth, and he didn't drink it, no wonder Brother Monkey, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, was able to drink so much in one breath just now.

Brother Monkey's spray was really timely, because he sprayed strong soju on the old man's face just before the old man whistled.

Immediately, the old man squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and made "ah" and "ah" cries from time to time, looking very painful.

I hurriedly walked up and said to Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, you are really amazing, you can think of this trick unexpectedly.

Brother Monkey didn't reply, just glanced at Senior Brother Sha, and said to me: Go over there, look at Senior Brother Sha, don't let the poisonous snake get close! Ay!

Okay! I agreed, and then returned to Senior Brother Sha's side.

The old man stood up, and while we were talking, he probably wanted to escape.

Brother Monkey quickly stepped forward and grabbed the old man's collar and pulled it, but the old man fell to the ground again.

Brother Monkey rode onto the old man's body and asked viciously: Do you want to give it or not? Antidote!

The old man didn't speak. Brother Monkey asked viciously again: Is it to give or not to give! The old man still didn't speak.

Brother Monkey was annoyed, and a "snap" slap came to the old man's face.

I said: Oh, Brother Monkey, if you take it lightly, you won't get the antidote if you knock him out!

To give or not to give! Seeing that the old man still didn't speak, Brother Monkey grabbed a poisonous snake nearby, and then went into the old man's mouth, and Brother Monkey also stuffed the poisonous snake into the old man's mouth and scolded: Don't say it! So you don't say it! Let you also taste what it is like to be poisoned.

I hurriedly stepped forward to stop and said: Brother Monkey, I can't help it, the old man is dead, and Senior Brother Sha will be finished.

It's over, it's over! No big deal! Brother Monkey appeared resolute.

Seeing that the poisonous snake was about to burrow into the old man's stomach, the old man hurriedly shouted: I'll give it! I'll give!

Brother Monkey said that this is good, wouldn't it be better to cooperate early?

After that, the old man began to dig on his body.

Suddenly, the old man turned over and threw the monkey brother to the ground, and then a carp stood up, and then began to run in the direction of the house.

I was about to go up to help, and Brother Monkey, who was still lying on the ground, said: Idiot! You just have to take a good look at Senior Brother Sha! Lao Sun can do it alone! After that, Brother Monkey hit a carp and flew forward with a pounce, and flew towards the old man.

It just so happened that Brother Monkey's hands were on the old man's shoulders, and then Brother Monkey fell to the ground, kicked his legs tightly, and threw the old man to the ground with a "poof".

So Brother Monkey rode on the old man's body again.

Brother Monkey was not polite this time, and the fist of Ding Ding Dong rained down on the old man's body.

Finally, the old man begged for mercy and finally agreed to give us an antidote.

Brother Monkey said: Hurry up, if you delay my junior brother's illness, my grandson will kill you!

The old man said don't worry, the poison only seals the throat an hour after the poisoning.

Depend on! An hour? We've been fighting for almost an hour, so why don't you hurry! Brother Monkey scolded.

The old man took out a vial from his arms, and then handed it to Brother Monkey and said that it could be untied by dropping a little bit into Senior Brother Sha's nostrils.

Brother Monkey followed, and Senior Brother Sha woke up quickly.

I said Senior Brother Sha, it's good that you're awake, I scared the old pig just now, and I thought we would say goodbye!

Brother Monkey walked up to the old man and said sharply: "Lao Sun ordered you to leave here immediately and remove all the poison in the valley, otherwise Lao Sun will throw you into the valley to feed the wild wolves!"

The old man's face was embarrassed, as if he had something to say, but he was suppressed by Brother Monkey's "No, no".

I knew what the old man wanted to say, so I walked forward and said to Brother Monkey: Brother Monkey, forget it, let's leave a way for others to live, let him live here, as long as he dissolves the poison in the valley.

The old man hurriedly said, "This is the best!" That's the best! Thank you!

Brother Monkey thought about it for a while, and probably decided that I made sense, and finally decided to do what I wanted.

The old man dissolved the poison in the valley in front of us, but the method was very simple, that is, to scatter a powdered potion into the air.

The old man explained that any poison that came into contact with this powder would be dissolved, and that the poison that was dissolved would become an antidote, and so on, and that all the poisons in the valley would be eliminated with a little antidote.

After that, we did not go back to the market town, but asked the old man for some food and decided to continue on our way.

I was going to go back and talk to the people in the market town, but Brother Monkey said no, then the old man's life would be difficult to protect.

Brother Monkey said that when those people found out that Death Valley was no longer a forbidden area, the old man's situation would be relatively safe. When we were leaving, I found that the old man was very unhappy, probably because we had defeated him.
