Chapter 20 Resolving Doubts and Doubts
slept until it was close to noon, when these people woke up, and Qiao Benliang took out the food he brought and distributed it to everyone to enjoy. Since Lunengda and Sun Houzi came to the desert on foot, they had limited things on them, while Qiao Benliang drove an off-road vehicle loaded with food and drinking water.
He lives in a well-to-do environment, his parents have loved him since he was a child, and they said that they wanted the moon in the sky, and they would never pick stars for him, and he did not suffer a little grievance. Of course, he grew up in a greenhouse, but he was not the pampered and fragile kind of person, and he was always generous and generous to his good friends, and would never skimp on money and other things outside of his body.
The four of them sat around the tent, eating and drinking with relish and discussing what had happened to them. "Brother Sun, I really didn't expect wow, your martial arts are too powerful, you can beat people down in three moves and two styles, where did you learn kung fu?" Lunengda's face was full of admiration, and his mouth was full of praise.
Flying Fox Sun Houzi just shook his head with a smile, without a proud expression, and said: "Brother Lu, you have won the award, our place has always been a practice of martial arts, and many people will punch and kick each other, there is nothing to make a fuss about; I used to follow my uncle in my hometown and practice some moves, which are nothing, nothing! β
Cangzhou in Hebei is known as the "hometown of martial arts", Cangzhou martial arts originated in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties. For thousands of years, this place has gathered martial arts elites and heroes, and over time, a strong atmosphere of advocating martial arts has been formed.
Sun Houzi's uncle, an instructor at a local martial arts school, is proficient in Bajiquan and is good at using soft swords in weapons. Because he has been practicing martial arts with his uncle since he was a child, his basic skills are very solid.
This person also likes to act chivalrous and righteous very much, as long as he encounters injustice, he will never stand idly by, and he has to step forward to intervene and take care of it. Just because the soles of his feet are windy when he runs, the speed is extremely fast, and his style of doing things is different from ordinary people, and he is a little alert in his intelligence, so everyone nicknamed him "Flying Fox".
Chen Jie was eating ham sausage in his mouth, and said to Sun Houzi in a humming voice: "Brother Sun, my admiration for you is like the water in the Yellow River flooding out of control, hehe, if you have time, can you teach my brother a few tricks?" β
Qiao Benliang, who was sitting next to him, reached out and pinched his face, and said with a smile: "Let everyone look at your fat head and big ears, and you still want to learn martial arts?" Where did you get this confidence? β
Chen Jie rolled his eyes, and hummed in his mouth: "Go, go!" Brother Liang, you always like to laugh at others, don't discourage my enthusiasm, okay! β
Sun Houzi took a look at this cute fat man, smiled, and said, "This Chen-little fat brother, right?" Chen Jie hurriedly corrected: "My name is Chen Jie, you can also call me "Little Fat"!" β
"Oh, if I have the chance, I'll teach you some basic movements, just like exercise!"
Chen Jie hugged his fists at Sun Houzi with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, Brother Sun!" Master Sun! β
The crowd burst out laughing. Lunengda asked, "Brother Sun, why didn't you bring a sleeping bag with you?" How do you spend the night in this desert? β
"Hahaha!" Sun Houzi raised his face and smiled a few times, looked at the other party and said, "Brother Lu, have you forgotten?" My nickname is "Flying Fox", and I don't need these things to sleep! β
Qiao Benliang was very puzzled and asked, "Then how do you sleep at night?" β
Sun Houzi replied: "I have my own skills to survive in the wild, no matter where I go, I can quickly adapt to the local environment, eat whatever I have around me, dig a cave and sleep in it." β
At this time, Lunengda suddenly came to his senses, and he couldn't believe it: "Oh! Oh! So that's it! If you are in the desert, can you dig a hole in the sand and lie down and sleep? β
Sun Houzi nodded: "You're right, big brother." β
People who like to explore in the wild must have a strong ability to adapt. If you go out, you can't go back in three days or five days, but it's hard to sustain yourself on the day of the return trip with just the food you carry. In the open wilderness, you must learn the basic rules of survival, know how to use the wisdom in your brain, and find ways not to starve; During the day, I have been in motion, and when it is time to rest at night, I will use the sky as a bed and the ground as a bed.
Don't pay attention to the conditions when you go out, it is the greatest satisfaction to be safe. What is "adventure"? It goes without saying that the meaning can be understood as groping along the way, there are too many unknown factors ahead, life is often accompanied by danger, one second is alive, the next second it is possible to burp.
At this time, Qiao Benliang suddenly remembered something, he scratched his head with his hand, looked at Sun Houzi and said, "Brother Sun, there are some things I still need to trouble you to explain, please don't be weird!" β
Sun Houzi smiled: "Oh, Brother Qiao, you can't help but seem too polite, ask, if there is anything to ask boldly, I will definitely know everything, and I will say everything." β
Qiao Benliang nodded: "Well, then I have to work for you!" β
He pondered for a moment, thinking back to a few questions he had summed up, and after thinking about them, he asked, "First question, how did you know that there is a peacock castle here?" Second question, have you ever heard of monsters in this area before? Third, how did you find out that the six tomb robbers were coming to this place? The fourth question, you obviously found the three of us yesterday, but why didn't you break it? β
After hearing this, Sun Houzi couldn't help but smile heartily and said, "Brother Qiao, you really think about the problem quite comprehensively, you are thoughtful and endowed with logical reasoning ability. Well, I'll answer your first question first: when it comes to the castle left over from the Peacock Kingdom, hey, yesββ,"
He turned his gaze, looked at Lunengda and said, "Brother Lu, you have been to this area before, don't you know it too?" β
Lunengda shook his head like a rattle: "I haven't heard anyone talk about it!" If I knew, it wouldn't be so much trouble! β
"It was also by chance that I chatted with an old herdsman from Bayingolin that I learned that there was another ancient country in Loulan. I am also an adventure fan, driven by curiosity, I went to the north bank of the Peacock River to look for the ruins of the ancient country. β
"It's really strange, I've been wandering around this area for a few days, and I haven't found any clues left in the Peacock Kingdom. Just the day before yesterday, when I was about to give up, I found a big truck parked in a hidden place, and six people got out of the car, looking sneaky. My instincts were that these guys weren't good birds, so I went and lurked up closer, trying to hear what they had to say. β
"When I heard it, I realized that those six people were a group of tomb robbers, who happened to be going to the ruins of the Peacock Kingdom to survey the terrain. Then I followed them to the castle, and in the darkness of the night, a large monster came out of nowhere and scared the tomb robbers away. β
"At first, I was very scared of the monster that suddenly appeared, but luckily I was hiding in the shadows and didn't notice it. The occurrence of this incident made me think that the Peacock Castle was even more mysterious, so I quietly stayed there to observe the monster's movements, and found that it only came out at night, and disappeared again at midnight, and the monster had no other power that could harm people except for the fire in its mouth. β
"I didn't expect the grave robbers to come back and steal the treasure, so I hid in the dunes and waited. The next morning, when the three of you arrived, I looked at it in secret, and I didn't feel like a criminal, and since my mission was to stop the grave robbers from wreaking havoc, as long as you didn't commit the theft, I wouldn't have to show up. β
Qiao Benliang couldn't believe his ears a little, he thought it was a complicated thing, how could it be like this? "Wouldn't it? Brother Sun, it won't be that simple, right? β
Sun Houzi smiled and said, "Do you still have any doubts?" Brother Qiao, do you still think that I am also here to rob the tomb? β
Qiao Benliang shook his head: "That's not true, it's just - I feel that all this is too incredible, I hope I am too worried!" β
