Chapter 346: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters

To my surprise, the passage was not as narrow as it had been when we had come before, and it felt as if I was walking the other way.

Shen Dali stopped after seeing me walk for a while, and asked me with some worry: "Fifth brother, what's wrong?" ”

At such a time, I could not express my own uneasiness so as not to make them panic, so I managed to squeeze out a smile and pretended to say "It's okay" and continued to move on.

The road was very long, and we couldn't get out after walking for more than ten minutes.

Suddenly, I saw a glimmer of light at the end of the road, and my heart hung in the air.

I deliberately slowed down and kept going, trying my best to use my hearing to see if there was any danger.

As we went, the light grew bigger and bigger, and finally I could see clearly that at the end of the road, there was a stone gate, and the light was coming from outside the stone gate.

I cautiously arrived near the stone gate, poked my head out and looked out, and was stunned.

Outside the stone gate, it was very dazzling, as if the sun was shining down from above. I slanted up against the bright light, and sure enough, I saw the sun, the clouds, and the clear blue sky.

We should be in a deep underground position, how can we only walk through such a passage?

When I walked out of the stone gate, I noticed that our current location was the interior of a crater.

This crater is very high, it should be tens of meters by eye, and the mountain wall is vertically steep, and normal people cannot climb it at all.

In this huge cage-like valley, I saw rice paddies and a village in the distance, and the smoke of cooking could be faintly seen.

A river runs through the valley, dividing the village in half and leading nowhere.

Shen Dali, Zhang Yi and Zhao Zitong also walked out of the passage after me, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak when they saw everything in front of them.

I was very emotional: "It's hard to imagine that this place can be inhabited. ”

Shen Dali said happily: "Great, let's just find some food from the local old farmers." ”

At the mention of eating, several of us had our stomachs growling.

Indeed, the physical exertion is enormous, and we are all very hungry.

Zhang Yi was not very optimistic, and said on the side: "It is said that poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, so we have to be careful." ”

I have to say that Zhang Yi is really a crow's mouth.

We walked through a wasteland, then through a rice paddy, and finally reached the village with great difficulty.

In the distance, I saw some elderly people sitting at the head of the village chatting and basking in the sun, and several old men crouched at the feet of the old people, lazily sticking out their tongues.

Zhao Zitong said happily: "Sure enough, there are people." ”

As she spoke, she was about to run over.

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to grab her and whispered, "Don't worry, take a closer look, it seems that their clothes are not quite right." ”

Although they were far away, we were able to discern that the old people were dressed very differently from those of modern people, and did not correspond to the costumes of any dynasty that I know.

The old men also saw us, and seemed to be very frightened, and they all stood up in a panic, and ran into the village shouting, and I didn't know what they were shouting, and I didn't understand the language at all.

The dogs were also alert, and barked at us, and the short hairs on their bodies almost stood on end.

I secretly said "no" and hurriedly said to the others, "Hurry up and run back!" ”

I don't know what the people here will do to us, but I have a hunch that it won't be kind.

Zhao Zitong was very puzzled, and was asking me why I was running, but his face changed and he screamed.

We could see that the otherwise peaceful village was boiling immediately after the shouts of the old men, and countless young men with pickaxes, long hair, brass swords, sickles, and other messy things poured out of the village, and rushed towards us in a surrounding form.

The ground in this place is potholed, it is difficult to walk, and our physical strength has been too much to use before, so we can't speed up at all.

Those people are coming fast, and they are quickly closing the distance between us.

Zhang Yi was also anxious, and took out his pistol to fire a warning shot, but he couldn't fire a shot even after a few pulls.

It didn't take long for us to catch up with those people, and I quickly raised my hands and shouted to them that we had come here by mistake and that we had no ill intentions.

However, the men ignored me and beckoned to us.

Shen Dali rose up angrily and fought with several strong men with his bare hands.

Those people are very poor, like children fighting, and they make random moves.

Shen Dali has been trained by the troops, and he is quick and ruthless, and easily snatched a rusty copper gun, dancing vigorously and mightily.

Although I am not as good as Shen Dali, I can still deal with one or two people.

The three of us surrounded Zhao Zitong in the middle to protect him, barely supporting him, and it seemed that he was not falling behind, but I knew very well that we were just relying on one breath to support us now, and our current physical strength could not guarantee that we would continue at all.

There were too many of them, there were only three of us.

It didn't take long for me to feel like my hands and feet were filled with lead, and every movement was very difficult.

The same is true for Shen Dali and Zhang Yi, whose movements are already obviously much clumsy.

The men screamed and became more and more courageous, and finally they swooped up like a tidal wave, knocked us to the ground, and tied our hands and feet with ropes.

It seems that they have suffered a lot from us, they tied us up, and beat and kicked us, almost knocking me unconscious.

After they had gone out of their rage, they did not kill us, but set us up with a stick, carried one for every two strong men, and led us into the village.

In the center of the village is a large open space, and a large tree that can only be hugged by a dozen people grows, and it should be more than 100 years old at first glance.

They hung the three of us men from tree branches, stuffed Zhao Zitong into a cage made of rattan and wooden planks, and then pointed around us, speaking in a language I didn't understand.

I was in severe pain, and I smiled bitterly, knowing that we were really planted here this time.

If he had brought Leng Yue over this time, with his ability, we wouldn't have been so miserable.

It's too late to say anything, so I'll have to ask for more blessings.

After a while, the crowd suddenly gave way to a way, and a white-haired old man from Luo Guo walked out with a dragon-headed cane.

The rest of the people respected the old man very much, and they all bowed down, and knelt all over the ground with a "hula".

The old man walked slowly in front of us, looked up and looked at the four of us in turn for a while, then squinted and smiled, not knowing what to say.
