Forty-one Ladders

When the flower ball reached the back of the couple, a trumpet was heard and the music stopped. Through this dance, the men and women who are in love with each other form a pair, carry the flower ball back to the west and put it down, and then sit hand in hand. Those who did not find the wishful ones went to the east side of the fire and sat down.

At this time, Ah Long took a girl's hand and sat on the west side, beckoning to Shao Hu and Black Butterfly, and motioning for them to come and sit down together. Black Butterfly smiled slightly, shook his head, and then pulled his hand out of Shao Hu's hand and walked towards Zhou Chuanliang and Honeysuckle to the north. Shao Hu was slightly embarrassed, but he also followed. Ah Kang, Big Bear, and Erxiong were also abandoned, and walked east.

The trumpet sounded again. Shao Hu looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a man standing in the south, holding an oversized bull's horn in both hands, facing the sky on his back, and the sound was blowing through the valley. That man was the Golden Top.

Zhou Chuanliang stood up and walked to the middle, faced everyone, and sang in his mouth: "Heaven and earth, sun and moon, wind, frost, rain and dew, grass and trees, all suffer from their spirits." Day and night dawn, the valley is flat, all living beings, salty and delicate. Only I Moyun, I am sincere. The god of begging flowers, give me a beloved, and have many children. "Sing it, and lead everyone to bow down and worship the god of flowers.

At the end of the ceremony, a man and a woman carried the flower ball to the fire and threw it into the fire. Then the pairs of men and women ran over and danced around the fire until the flower balls burned out. At the same time, Shao Hu saw Jin Gyro leave his position, walked to Zhou Chuanliang and Honeysuckle in the north, and whispered. I saw that Honeysuckle was very unhappy when she heard it, and gave a few words to the golden spinning top. Jin Gyro's face was angry, and he stomped his feet and walked back, stuffing the horns in his hand to the people around him, and went down the cliff without looking back.

Seeing this, Shao Hu got up and was about to chase after him, but Black Butterfly grabbed his arm and said "Be careful". He nodded, walked past the crowd, and descended the cliff as well.

The man who took the horn from the golden top blew the third formation. The crowd dodged out of the middle, only to see more than a dozen men carrying the whole cattle and sheep that had been washed and skinned, and grilling them by the fire. At this time, another girl who is good at singing and dancing walked to the fire to perform her skills for everyone, and everyone clapped their hands to the rhythm of the dance.

When the moon rises in the sky, the barbecue is fully cooked, the oil is fragrant, and everyone's belly also sings the three-character scripture. Zhou Chuanliang raised his hand and waved, and the person in charge of the barbecue began to cut the meat, and put it on a plate and first offered it to Zhou Chuanliang, honeysuckle, and then to Black Butterfly and other distinguished guests, and finally distributed it to everyone. Two more people each held a jar of wine and poured wine for the people.

Honeysuckle gave Black Butterfly a glass of wine, and then said, "There is a secret passage in the southwest of this cliff, which leads down to a valley full of forests and bamboos, where the moonlight is flowing and the wild flowers are darkly fragrant, and it is a good place for men and women to have a tryst. Later, when these young boys and girls have had enough to eat and drink, they will go down one after another, each looking for a quiet place, and inserting a bamboo knife outside, indicating that there is a tryst here, and ask passers-by to leave quickly, otherwise they will meet each other. Therefore, I would like to tell you that in the next three days, if you accidentally enter that territory and see a bamboo knife stuck in the ground, please avoid it. ”

Black Butterfly listened and nodded.

Honeysuckle asked again: "Why didn't you see Brother Shao, where did he go?" ”

Black Butterfly said, "He just had something to do. I'll be back in a while. ”

After a while, the wine was full, and the lovers clapped their hands and sang, and Aaron and a girl were naturally among them, and went to the valley where the honeysuckle had spoken from the secret passage.

The black butterfly said to the honeysuckle, "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”

Honeysuckle nodded, and sent a maid to take her back to the cave.

Besides, Shao Hu had already gone to the Five Poison Valley this night to find out, and was worried about guiding the way, but he happened to see Jin Gyro arguing with his sister, and vaguely heard the words "Tyrannosaurus" and "Five Poison Valley", so he paid attention to it immediately; As soon as he saw Jin Gyro walking down the cliff with an angry face, he chased after him and asked, and sure enough, as he expected, he said to Jin Gyro that he also wanted to go to the Five Poison Valley.

Jin Gyro was overjoyed when she heard this, and thanked Shao Hu for her kindness. Then they each went back to their rooms to change their night clothes, took guns and ammunition, copied a shortcut, went out of Moyun Ridge, crossed the mountains, and went straight to the Valley of the Five Poisons.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the boundary of the Five Poison Valley, and at this moment the moon was already in the west. Shao Hu filled his footsteps and asked about the general situation in the Five Poison Valley. Jin Gyro said: "In normal times, I don't dare to go to the Five Poison Valley, just because my captive daughter-in-law bought a mountain baby and asked the mountain baby to report to me, saying that in the past few days, the temperament of the tyrannosaurus has changed greatly, and he will catch a subordinate and play for a long time at every turn, beat him half to death, and then another person will get drunk." My daughter-in-law called me over, and she came to do the internal response, and while the tyrannosaurus was drunk and unconscious, she locked the doors and windows and burned him to death. Now that Brother Shao is walking with him, there will be no trouble. ”

Shao Hu asked, "Is that mountain baby reliable?" ”

Golden Gyro said: "Absolutely reliable! That mountain baby was originally from our Moyunling, and he was kidnapped by the Tyrannosaurus gang half a year ago, just because he was young, he didn't do any harm, and let him do some errands. He and my daughter-in-law have known each other for a long time. One day, he secretly found my daughter-in-law and cried that he wanted to go back to Moyunling. My daughter-in-law said, 'You can't go out as a child, unless someone from Moyunling comes to pick you up.' He asked, 'How can we get the people from Moyunling to pick it up?' My daughter-in-law thought for a moment and said, "We have a code in Moyunling, and I will teach you, when the tyrannosaurus takes you out of the mountain one day, you can draw these codes on the stone wall while they are not paying attention." As long as the people of Moyunling see it, they will naturally find a way to contact us. The mountain baby was very happy to hear this, and when she was fine, she came to my daughter-in-law to learn those codes. Our code is very simple, it is the image of some pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. Even if he was seen by the people of the Five Poison Valley, he was only a child out of nature, scribbling, and he would never have imagined that he was transmitting a message to our Moyunling. Later, our people finally found those codes, and they added a note here and there on those pigs, horses, cows, and sheep, indicating that we had seen them, and asked who left them. After going back and forth, until the animals were covered with hair, my daughter-in-law finally told me what was going on inside, and wanted me to get her out as soon as possible. ”

Shao Hu nodded again and again after hearing this, and then asked, "Do you know what flaws are in the tyrannosaurus?" ”

Jin Gyro said: "That time in the boxwood forest, he was injured by the explosion and fell off a piece of armor. Shan Wazi said that the falling nail piece was originally his left rib position. As long as we wait for him to get drunk, we will take a gun and go through his left rib, so that he will not die. ”

Shao Hu lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "When we get to the Five Poison Valley, let's go separately, you go to your daughter-in-law, and I will kill the tyrannosaurus." ”

Jin Gyro shook his head and said, "I'm afraid one person can't deal with the Tyrannosaurus." ”

Shao Hu said: "I will act when I meet the opportunity. If it's really hard to start, I'll wait for you to save your daughter-in-law and come out, and then we'll discuss what to do. ”

Jin Gyro thought that there was no other way, so he agreed.

Both of them are experts, their hands and feet are sharp, and they are as fast as flying, and in the blink of an eye, they have run to a forest outside the west gate of the Five Poison Valley. Jin Gyro whispered: "Out of this forest is the main road of the Five Poisons Valley, there are people guarding it, you must be careful and don't make a noise." Shao Hu nodded twice, indicating that he understood.

Then the two of them walked through the forest, only to see that in front of them was a high and wide cliff, and there was a mountain path carved out of the stone crack at a height of about fifty meters from the ground, and the moonlight was shining there at this moment, even so, the end of the mountain path could not be seen. The two of them hid in the grass, holding their breath.

Suddenly, a figure walked around on the trail, came to the exit of the trail, poured a soak of urine on the trail, and then lit a cigarette. So the two men who were hiding below saw it in the light of the fire, and besides this man, there were three other people sitting nearby, because they asked the man who was standing to pee for smoke and fire, and lit three of them.

The golden top touched Shao Hu again and pointed out to him the dark shadows below the mountain path. Shao Hu squinted, if it weren't for Jin Gyro's reminder, he really couldn't see it: among the rattan bushes under the mountain path, there was actually a ladder made of bamboo that delayed falling to the ground, presumably for people in the valley to go up and down.

Shao Hu thought to himself: Fortunately, the guards above are careless, leaving us a way to enter, if the ladder is withdrawn by them, I am afraid that it will be difficult to climb up with that rattan alone, if on the way up, the rattan is broken, and there are wolf teeth and gravel below, I am afraid that I will fall and burst my brain.

At this moment, I heard a man from above roar, and the other three all stood up and walked inside.

Shao Hu was overjoyed in his heart, they actually forgot to withdraw the ladder!

Just when Shao Hu was snickering, the ladder actually moved!

Jin Gyro pulled Shao Hu and whispered, "Don't hurry up and catch it!" It's too late! As he spoke, he jumped forward and rushed down the cliff. Shao Hu immediately understood, and leaned into the past.

The two of them almost reached the bottom of the cliff, and saw that the ladder had withdrawn five or six meters up, so they jumped up, put their feet on the cliff wall again, and grabbed the ladder one after the other.

Although the ladder is made of bamboo, in order to prevent wear and tear, the side that sticks to the cliff is covered with wrought iron, not to mention a thousand catties, I am afraid that there is a winch on it, otherwise it will not be able to be withdrawn so briskly by manpower alone. After a few moments, the ladder rose to the entrance of the trail and stopped, leaving the remaining two meters outside.

The two of them heard footsteps from above, and quickly climbed between the ladder and the cliff to hide. Sure enough, one of the guards walked over and looked down, and saw that the ladder had been raised and there was nothing abnormal, so he flicked the cigarette butt down and beckoned the other three to leave together. The two didn't dare to be careless, and waited for a long time, until their footsteps were far away, and there was silence all around, and then they turned over.

There was a flat avenue in front of him, which looked like a white line in the moonlight, winding to the bottom of the valley, and there were people with flashing lights in the woods.
