Chapter 120: Snow Mountain (2)
"You want to take this little girl with you? It's true? Even Chu Changhe, after hearing the administrator say such a thing, he felt a little ridiculous.
The four of them looked at An Xiaoyu, and they really didn't know how to choose. The administrator has made it very clear that if you want him to take him into the mountain, you must bring An Xiaoyu, otherwise he will not leave the village for more than a day, and no matter how many hundreds of millions more, it will not work.
Chu Changhe really wanted the administrator to be their guide, but they didn't dare to bet all their hopes on the administrator, this 100 million was already all their belongings, if possible, they wanted to do the occasional thing as perfectly as possible.
Chen Yu couldn't help it at that time, and said to the administrator: "We have given you so much money, how can you say whatever you want?" This little girl is obviously a burden, and if something happens to you on the way, you suddenly don't want to go, and then you will take our ...... for nothing."
Chu Changhe grabbed Chen Yu, and he saw the coldness in the administrator's eyes.
Chen Yu was stopped by Chu Changhe, he was still indignant in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Chu, I have seen this kind of person a lot, it is nothing more than seeing that it is profitable, and suddenly I want to regret it and want more money!" I said that you people in the mountains are not simple at all, you have been nesting in the mountains all your life, you want so much money, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to spend your life? ”
An Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh, these people are really ...... There are countless people in this world who want to find Shaozun to make a move, let alone Lingzun's shot. To put it mildly, send them into the mountain, and the administrator will already be involved in some of the causes and effects of the Heavenly Dao, and every step will be like walking on thin ice.
But these people just don't appreciate it, and they think that the price of 100 million is very expensive, if it weren't for the fact that the cause and effect involved in this 100 million is enough to offset most of the impact, the administrator would not have offered such a price. If they don't agree, it's even better, An Xiaoyu doesn't want to go on this trip yet.
Although I don't know why the administrator suddenly agreed to let these people enter the mountain, An Xiaoyu understands that as long as it involves the administrator's own actions and other people's cause and effect, the administrator will definitely not easily open his mouth and do it, there must be some deep meaning hidden in it, and it is likely to have something to do with him.
In that case, how can it not be with An Xiaoyu?
Chu Changhe frowned and thought for a long time, and the administrator reminded: "In a short time, the people in the village will enter the mountain, and you can choose other people." Otherwise, after this time, if you want to find someone, you will have to wait until tomorrow morning. ”
Listening to the administrator's words, the expression on Chen Yu's face became even more ugly, in his opinion, the administrator was threatening them. took their money and treated the financier with such an attitude, which was too far from Chen Yu's previous plan.
When he entered the mountains, he imagined how these savage, dirty, poor, and short-sighted mountain people would flatter them when they heard that they were looking for someone to lead the way into the mountains, and their eyes lit up when they looked at their money, and they regarded them as if they were immortals.
But I didn't expect the reality to be like this, they actually treat others as immortals, not only have to pay 100 million yuan of all their family property, but also be coerced by the other party, they don't have a little right to speak in front of this person? Are you kidding? We are rich people from the imperial capital!
The more Chen Yu thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, so he simply turned his head away and stopped looking. The man who didn't like to talk among the four people glanced at Chen Yu, and there was disdain in his eyes. The girl followed over to comfort Chen Yu, but Chu Changhe nodded and said, "If it doesn't affect our progress." ”
The administrator didn't hesitate with them, turned around and closed the courtyard door, called An Xiaoyu, who was "charging" the peach tree on the other side, and led them into the mountain. And Chu Changhe looked at the bag that the administrator was carrying, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Just bring this little thing?" ”
The Administrator just nodded, and didn't say anything more to them, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use too much of the power of the law right now, this was not necessary. An Xiaoyu hung on the administrator's shoulder, at first they all thought that the little girl would run out of strength in a short time, but they didn't expect that people were more energetic than them.
I entered the mountains in the early morning, and only arrived in the village in the morning, and I didn't rest for long, so I followed them deeper into the mountains and forests. The mountain forest is not as good as the mountain road, the mountain road is still flat, and the snow on the road is also digested by the passing caravans, not to mention that the garrison has only cleared it once a few days ago.
But the snow has been piled up in the mountains and forests for so many days, and it almost doesn't reach people's waists, An Xiaoyu walked on the snow, as if she was swimming in the snow, and the administrator simply picked her up. Walking in such deep snow is very difficult.
Of course the administrator doesn't care about this, but the four ordinary people can't stand it, before noon, two of the four people are tired and out of breath, Chen Yu took the girl next to him, and began to regret why he didn't follow Chu Changhe alone, it was a burden to have a girl by his side.
Chu Changhe's condition is not very good, obviously he also has a little cultivation on his body, but the Ming Body Realm, the cultivation of the general cultivation hall when he graduated before the Great World. Even so, his forehead was already covered with sweat, his steps were already much heavier, and his breathing began to be disordered.
On the contrary, it is the bodyguard on the other side, probably in the realm of the young master, although there is not much more in strength, but the control of power and the firmness of the mind are stronger, and it seems that it can be regarded as a life-and-death battle, and he is very used to such a trek, and he is in a good state.
Thinking that at the beginning, he thought that others were a burden, but now it is himself who has become a burden, Chen Yu can't wait to turn around and leave. But he can think about it like this, if he really lets him leave, how can he give up the chance that may exist in the woods?
Chu Changhe said that if there is a treasure that can lead people to the path of cultivation, both of them can make a profit at that time, and when the two families join forces, it is possible to turn over under the oppression of the family. For his own future, for the future of his family, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and persevered, and never said anything about resting.
It was noon when the caretaker said, "Stop and rest, an hour, and have something to eat." ”
Chen Yu gasped heavily, leaned against the trunk of the tree next to him, slowly slid down, and sat in the snow, and finally only half of his head was outside. The girls around him are not far behind, and they follow him in the same way.
The caretaker stretched out his hand and pulled out a short shovel: "Clear the surrounding snow first, bury yourself directly in the snow, the heat of your body will flow a lot, and you will not be able to support this night." ”
Chu Changhe originally planned to rest on the spot like this, but after hearing the administrator's words, he knew that it made sense, so he also took out the folding shovel in his package. Chen Yu let out a low roar in annoyance, and also joined the work, and it didn't take long for the four of them to clear a vacant lot.
I found a small tree that had long since dried up and died, cut it down, and piled the branches together to make a fire. The only way to live in the woods is to rely on such small trees, and many branches that have died and dried in summer and autumn have been buried deeply, and it is quite difficult to find.
The caretaker said: "In the afternoon, you have to keep an eye out for such a small tree along the way, it is not easy to find such a tree at noon, you have to save enough for the evening, and you have to pay attention to the rest of it." ”
Chu Changhe nodded, although they also carried some solid fuel, but that kind of thing was only used when it was fatal. Civilians will never be able to buy the energy furnace heating uniforms of the garrison and the military, so if they want to survive in the mountains and forests, they have to listen to the administrators.
Chen Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this, although there are many such small trees, there are not many of them. The new trees in the woods, once they grow to a certain extent, will show two extremes. One extreme is to snatch nutrients from the roots of the taller trees around you to continue to grow rapidly, killing out the competitors around you. The other is that it cannot survive in the cracks of the big tree and becomes this dry dead tree.
If you might be able to find more of the smaller trees, it is clear that you can't find more of them at this level of snow. Thinking of this, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, "How far have we walked in the morning?" ”
The administrator didn't even think about it, and told him directly: "The distance in a straight line is about eight kilometers. ”
"What?" Chen Yu jumped up suddenly: "You said that we walked for a morning and only walked sixteen miles?" Deceptive, right? How is this possible? At our pace, it shouldn't be a problem to walk 30 miles in the morning, right? Even if it is a little slower because of the snow, what about twenty miles? ”
Chu Changhe's bodyguard finally couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Aren't you going uphill?" ”
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, he had nothing to say, they were going uphill, and the administrator also said that it was a straight-line distance, and even they could detect that the administrator really didn't pit them. Looking back, the string of ravines they pulled out was straight and slippery, and it was really straight, and they didn't even hit a little bend.
Sitting on the ground decadently, Chen Yu muttered, "So slow, when will you be able to go deeper into the mountain?" ”
The administrator just said, "It won't take a few days, and it must be slow at first." ”
In this regard, Chu Changhe and Chen Yu are not optimistic, and in their opinion, when they are full of energy at the beginning, they can only take more than ten miles in half a day, but they have seen it, the depth of this mountain range is more than eight hundred miles, and the deepest part of the mountain range is four hundred miles, that is, it will take more than ten days for them to arrive.
But the administrator said, "It will be there in a few days?" Is this a liar?
An Xiaoyu didn't say anything, in fact, she was also quite curious, how could the administrator pack the ticket and tell these people that she would not be in the mountains in a few days, and she was very curious when she was in the wooden house. However, curiosity is such a thing, and getting the answer from other people's mouths is still inferior after all, and only by experiencing it yourself can you get the true meaning.
So she had been looking forward to it, not like these people, who didn't trust the administrator at all.
Covering the fire with snow, they continued on in the afternoon, and the wind and snow in the mountains were much lighter than outside, at least the dense woods had already covered a lot. But in the afternoon, the wind was still raging, and the mountain wind carried a terrifying sound between the trunks and branches.
The girl next to Chen Yu was timid, almost shrunk into a ball, and felt that it was a ghost when she heard everything, plus the sky was already dark, the snow was falling around, and the visibility was already very low, which made it even more scary. From time to time, large trees that have been overwhelmed by heavy snow appear on the road, and they cross the road ahead, revealing a field of snow that is obviously much higher.
In fact, according to meteorologists' measurements and calculations, the amount of snow that has fallen so far is enough to pile up a clearing that has never been cleared to a height of three meters. It's just that the terrain in the mountains is rugged, and the woods are dense, and there were wolves crossing the border a few days ago, so the deeper you go, the thicker the snow will become.
Wading in the heavy snow that had reached his chest, Chen Yu became more and more nervous, and then he knew that what the administrator said at noon made sense. Moving forward in such snow, the heat in his lungs was constantly being carried away by the snow, and he felt that he was about to lack oxygen, and the girl next to him was almost dragged forward by him.
But neither Chu Changhe nor the bodyguard said anything, and even the administrator still had a little girl hanging on his body, and the little girl was hanging on his shoulder, and he could step on the surface of the snow to move forward, what else could he say? can only stare at An Xiaoyu's beauty to relieve fatigue.
The march through the mountains and forests is very boring and therefore extremely exhausting. In such an emotion, two points were removed from the original strength, and only eight points were left, and a lot of them were constantly taken away by the endless woods, and Chen Yu felt that he could no longer hold on.
Chu Changhe was obviously reluctant to move forward, the further he went into the mountains, the deeper the snow on the ground became, and the girl gasped for breath in order to relieve her boredom: "You say, if we walk in the snow like this, nothing will suddenly appear in the snow, right?" ”
In an instant, several people thought of snakes, insects, rats and ants, and Chen Yu scolded angrily in a low voice: "Shut up! ”
An Xiaoyu pursed her lips, but she didn't tell them that there is actually skill in moving forward on such a road, and it should be to take turns to open the road in front, as long as you wade out of the road, the people behind can easily save their strength. But these people didn't know whether they wanted to save face or were really stupid, so they didn't expect it.
That Chu Changhe's bodyguard might be able to think of it, but he didn't say it, it seems that he is not absolutely loyal to Chu Changhe, and he doesn't know what the situation is. An Xiaoyu was so bored that she could only make up a big drama of power in the family on the side of her brain.
Finally, in the evening, perhaps because I felt that I had not walked far enough in the morning, the afternoon trip was much longer than in the morning, and even the dry firewood saved on the road was completely enough. An Xiaoyu made a fire with ease, and then the administrator left the side.
The girl looked at An Xiaoyu's face and suddenly asked, "Little sister, how long have you been living in the mountains?" ”
An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and ignored her, this person was obviously passing the time, just because Chen Yu didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. There is no way to attribute all the blame to the administrator, Chen Yu can only regret that he has brought a drag on his side, and of course he is not angry with her.
Chu Changhe and the bodyguards didn't care much about her, so this girl couldn't get a good face in front of anyone now, so she could only look for An Xiaoyu to seek a sense of existence. Of course, An Xiaoyu would not let herself be her tool to kill her stuffy, and after making the fire, she went to split the dry firewood they collected into pieces.
Chen Yu looked amused and said, "Your brother won't throw you to us and run away by himself, right?" ”
You know, they've already paid millions of deposits, and if the administrator really takes them out into the mountains and walks away, whether they can get out is another matter. Originally, it was just joking, but Chen Yu didn't take it seriously, but An Xiaoyu smiled.
"yes, he's going to leave you here."
"What about you?" Chen Yu smiled: "He doesn't even want you anymore?" ”
An Xiaoyu shrugged: "I can go back by myself, you can't go back." ”
Chen Yu pursed his lips, and wanted to say something, but he was glared at by Chu Changhe, and he still didn't say anything after all. An Xiaoyu looked at the two of them, she already knew who these two people were dominant, and she also felt that it was quite boring, she really wanted to throw Chen Yu into the mountains and couldn't get out.
The bodyguard looked at An Xiaoyu with interest, he could feel An Xiaoyu's extraordinary, this extraordinaryness came from the suppression of the origin of life by the human spirit body, and from the power of the laws that An Xiaoyu converged in the body, but he definitely couldn't see any of this, so he was very curious.
Although he was curious, he didn't speak, this person was really from the military, but he didn't know which side of the team it was.
It didn't take long for the caretaker to return with two rabbits and two chickens, and it didn't take long for the smell of roasted meat to fill the woods. After a tired day, they didn't even have to drink hot water, Chu Changhe and they were already hungry and thirsty, and they ate these things until only half of their bones were left.
And so night fell.
One after another wolf howls came from the deep mountains, the girl shivered, although she was dissatisfied with Chen Yu's complaints to herself, but she still shrank into Chen Yu's arms, and said worriedly: "The wolves around you, won't you find them?" We'll ...... then."
The bodyguard pulled out a gun from his bag, and Chu Changhe and Chen Yu also had one each. At the moment when he took out the gun, Chen Yu even secretly glanced at An Xiaoyu and the administrator with a downward look, only to find that they were indifferent, so he was a little frustrated.
In his opinion, not to mention that for these mountain villagers, even ordinary people in the imperial capital, firearms are out of reach, and he will always be a little moved when he sees someone pulling out a gun. Or fear, or longing, in short, they will not be as calm as they are now, as if they have seen a lot of guns.
To be honest, An Xiaoyu doesn't look down on their burning sticks, but they are pistols, and they are not electronically guided, so they can only be used to strengthen their courage when encountering wolf eggs. She didn't say anything, just leaned on the administrator's body, and Chu Changhe spoke:
"What's the vigil?"
