Chapter Twenty-Four: A Little Harvest 2
Gong Ling and Zhang Rongrong began to divide labor. Looking for the scene of grass and sky from all angles of this meadow, the sun is beginning to rise slowly, and the whole grassland is lush with sunlight.
And the people of the peach demon kept turning the soil there with tools.
Soon Gong Ling locked the direction. He had already discerned that the map should be hidden under a meadow to the south, and that was the only angle from which the photograph would be most appropriate. But he couldn't let the peach demon know.
He looked up at the peach demon and said, "In this way, let's divide the area, I choose two pieces of east and north, and you choose two pieces of west and north and south." This way we both have an equal chance. How about admitting defeat? ”
The peach demon's mind turned. She looked at Gong Ling's appearance, as if she had already made up her mind, she couldn't help but be suspicious, Gong Ling chose two pieces in the northeast, could he already be sure that the map was on both sides of the northeast? No, I don't have a clue here, and I dug mostly in the west just now. If I pick two more northeast blocks, then I take up 3/4 of the area.
"Gong Ling, you're very smart! How do I think the map should be in the northeast, if you are willing to exchange with me, I choose the northeast, you choose the southwest. Then I'll admit defeat. Gong Ling's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "You have already dug so much in the ground, if you choose the Northeast again, then you will take advantage of it." ”
"I dug some of it, but didn't I find anything? I'm willing to bet with you, it's already to give you face, if I don't let you dig it, what can you do with me? ”
After saying that, the peach demon waved her hand, and her people all took a step forward. Indeed, the Peach Demon has twice as many people as them. Zhang Rongrong just wanted to step forward to scold them, but was stopped by Gong Ling: "Okay, we can't beat you." Then it's decided, you have two pieces in the northeast, and we have two pieces in the southwest, and everyone is willing to gamble and lose. ”
A word for money, the two sides made a promise. So the people on both sides began to look for each other.
Because Zhang Rongrong and Gong Ling had already made a prediction, it was much easier to find it than the peach demon and their aimless search. After more than an hour of searching, they finally found a fragment of the map underneath a grass.
Feng Hui shouted happily: "Found it!" Found it! "The five of them gathered around to see what it was really a fragment of a map. The map clearly indicates that the treasure is not in the steppe, but in a place surrounded by mountains.
Very happy Gong Ling and they won the first place again, they applied for the lottery with the navigator as a matter of course, but this time the luck was so good, they directly drew a retreat card, so the peach demon accidentally returned to the infrared level.
After that, the five people waved their hands at the peach demon very calmly: "Take your time!" Let's go first. The peach demon sat on the ground angrily and kept pounding the ground: "Damn, they calculated it again." ”
According to the map, they continued westward, now aiming to get out of the prairie and reach a high mountain.
Along the way, several of them were actually physically and mentally exhausted, and Gong Ling also fought with the wild wolf once, and his body was even more miserable and bloodstained. Now the goal is to get out of the prairie, and walk for another day. This is the case in the grasslands, although not as dangerous as in the desert, but the grasslands are also a place where there is no end in sight. Although they didn't have to eat or drink, the fatigue and mental exhaustion caused by the hike were also a bit unbearable. "Brother Gong, when are we going to be the head?" Feng Hui had already begun to complain.
On the day they had been on their way, they had not met anyone, not even the sheep of yesterday. Yang Xi said: "It seems that this game needs to train our own perseverance, so far it is on two legs, and there will be no horses." ”
"Even if we had horses, we wouldn't ride them. What if we can't borrow a horse and they ask us to pay for it? We also don't have money. Feng Hui felt that his question was to the point.
"These are all questions, we've been walking for more than a day, and I think it's almost there." Looking at the endless grassland, Gong Ling guessed.
Liu Yan pinched her soreness calf: "I think if it continues like this, my weight loss goal will be achieved ahead of schedule." ”
Zhang Rongrong burst out laughing: "Liu Yan, you are chubby, very cute, you don't need to lose it." ”
Liu Yan came up and pinched her little waist: "You will laugh at me." I'm going to have a devilish body like you, so I won't lose weight. ”
Yang Xi continued: "Liu Yan, you are really cute, just like a big doll. ”
Liu Yan found that since he had chatted with Yang Xi that night, he would tease himself when he had nothing to do. Liu Yan blushed a little, and she continued to change the topic: "Rong Rong, how did you come to this game?" ”
Zhang Rongrong was stunned when she heard this, she didn't think that Liu Yan would ask her this question. She didn't know how to explain it to them. She thought for a while and said to Liu Yan: "I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, and I came here accidentally." This is a half-truth, and there is also a joke in it. Liu Yan didn't hear anything wrong, and began to giggle and talk about something else.
Gong Ling had actually been paying attention to their conversation. He heard what Zhang Rongrong said, and he felt that although it was a joke, it seemed to be very bleak. Gong Ling's heart tightened, could it be that Zhang Rongrong was the same as herself?
How could such a sweet and kind girl encounter something as terrible as his. This empathetic, sensitive, intelligent and intelligent girl is better than all the girls he has met in the world. It even made him feel ashamed of himself. He has too many stains, and before he met Zhang Rongrong, he was already dead. All darkness is like a barren desert, and not a single grass grows. But this girl was like the warm winter sun, so unobstructed that it enveloped him. Dense, selfless and seamless, from his limbs and bones, every pore slowly eroded into his heart. He wanted to protect her, he wanted to give her all the good things in the world. All unhappiness and unhappiness should go around him.
Gong Ling was thinking so crankily when he suddenly heard Liu Yan say excitedly: "Look, there is a big slope ahead." ”
"Is it possible to see the mountain when you climb over this big slope? The hill is not very high, but it takes a while to climb to the top. Feng Hui reported like a striker. I think yes, it should be this hillside blocking our view, the direction is right. As long as you climb over this hill and go down, you should be able to see the mountain. "As long as Gong Ling's approval is obtained, everyone feels that they have found the right direction." Yay, that's great, let's hurry up and go, and finally see hope. Feng Hui said happily. The five of them climbed to the top of the mountain, hand and foot.
"Wow, I finally have a feeling of seeing all the mountains, although it is not too high, but the surrounding grass is endless and beautiful." Yang Xi said how everyone felt. "There are so many beautiful scenery in the world, I haven't had time to see it, so I will take this opportunity to browse the great rivers and mountains of the motherland." Zhang Rongrong said with emotion.
Yes, at this moment, everyone felt how beautiful this world was, and they were usually too confined to the ivory tower, and they should have had the opportunity to go out and have a look. If you are open-minded, you will not get entangled in some small things in the mortal world. In the past, my own obsession, the comparison of grades between classmates, and some nagging from my parents seem to be some tolerable things now. Heaven and earth are so vast, is there no place for me?
The five of them looked around, and they thought that they would be able to see the mountain mentioned in the map from the top of the mountain, but now they were on a high place, and the scenery at the foot of the mountain was unobstructed, and the scenery of the grass and the sky was presented in all directions. However, the mountains mentioned in the mission were not seen at all. They were a little discouraged.
"Brother Gong, we have really come so far, why haven't we stepped out of the prairie yet? Where the hell is that mountain? Feng Hui was a little deflated. Gong Ling didn't expect that he couldn't see the mountain when he stood on the top of the mountain. "We're going in the right direction, and the map shows that." Yang Xi added.
"But why can't you see the mountains? Could it be that something is blocking the mountain? Zhang Rongrong was also puzzled.
"How can there be such a big thing, if it is clouds or fog, at least you can see a shadow." Liu Yan analyzed.
"Are you sure we're not going in the wrong direction?" Feng Hui still couldn't believe it.
"That's right, it's here on the map, and if it's really wrong, the navigator should give us a hint. And we should be the first group to get here. If we solve the puzzle here, the other groups should switch the way the problem is solved. Gong Ling replied.
There are only two days left until the last three days.
The pressure hits like a mountain, and it weighs on everyone's heart. Now they are on the top of the mountain, there is no mountain in the direction that they have been going west, and the time is almost up. It's like an exam is about to go, but they don't know what the point is. They don't have time to start over.
Gong Ling's mind had been thinking about everything they had done since they entered the time tunnel until now. Every word the navigator said, every word he pondered.
"The game requires physical and mental power, so the first level is not helpful, there is no equipment and no weapons, you can only rely on yourself to find a way to pass this level, so that you can continue to experience more fun in the game of all over the world. If you don't even pass the first level, you won't have a chance to experience more games. These are the exact words of the navigator.
Level 1, Intelligence, Level 1, Intelligence...... Suddenly, Gong Ling had a hint of realization:
"Friends, I think we should not be too difficult in the first level of the game after all, the time limit is three days, and we haven't even completed the first task to cross the prairie, if we use it to cross the prairie within three days, then I don't think it should be the original intention of the game."
Zhang Rongrong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then Gong Ling's words continued: "We have carried out infrared PK before, and we have encountered wolves in the first two sections of the prairie, after this level has passed, we should have entered the third bar, and we should not waste too much time in the first level, I think we are now at the top of the mountain, it should be a key turning point, and the designers of the game should hope that we can reach the third bar as soon as possible, so I think we should find a way to cross the prairie as soon as possible, The navigator will also provide us with corresponding help, I used to watch all kinds of variety shows, I think the fastest way on the prairie is grass skiing, so that we can save a lot of distance, is to slide directly from the top to the bottom. But now the problem is that if we want to go down the hill, we have to have a skateboard, and I guess if there should be a skateboard somewhere, as long as we can find it, we'll be past that hurdle. Zhang Rongrong looked at everyone with sparkling eyes.
