Chapter 147: Passing through the Misty Forest, Finally Arriving at the Void
With the sound of the carriage gurgling, we gradually approached the destination that Zhu Gongzi said, but the mountain was full of fog, that is, it was almost noon or a fog, after a layer of misty forest, after walking for about half an hour, it was another layer of misty forest, which looked very similar to the one just now.
Someone shouted: "Oops, we're back again, and dead people, why did my knife move on its own, this"
There was a commotion in the crowd, and I took out the compass in my arms, and it turned out to be a nonsense, as if it was useless, and I poked my head out to see that some people's swords seemed to be unsheathed by themselves, and everyone's faces were a little frightened.
I looked at the carriages that had been replaced when they were almost there, and wondered if they were all wood. Or what did they do to prevent us? Now it seems that they have been prepared, and this mountain is very strange.
Na Zhu Gongzi frowned, easily held the horse in his hands, and rode up to me: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yu, this mountain forest is similar, it's easy to get lost, let's go around again, we have to walk again." ”
I nodded: "It's okay, is it the first time for Zhu Gongzi to come?" I've heard of dead people. ”
He shook his head, his brows loosened, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "No, it's just that this place is a misty forest, it's easy to get lost, and we have to rely on an old horse from before to find it." Of course, if you can't get out, you can only die in this mountain. As he spoke, he pointed to an old horse and a white skeleton in the distance, and his expression was a little proud.
I followed his hand, and the man leading the horse looked at me with a cold gaze, and next to him was a pile of eerie white bones, which made people tremble to watch.
I retracted my gaze and asked, "How do you know how we got lost?" ”
Zhu Gongzi pointed to a big tree and showed me a red cloth tied to the tree: "Mrs. Yu, please see, the cloth on that tree was tied when we passed by before, so we know that we have come back." "The expression was very serious, just like when I was shown the fake.
I nodded: "So that's the case, then please Zhu Gongzi take the old horse to show us the way." ”
Zhu Gongzi rode a horse and commanded everyone to turn around and walk back, I thought about it, kept an extra eye, and ordered Qu Bing to tie a green ribbon inadvertently on an eyeless tree.
After walking for a long time, we walked to the misty forest again, the tree tied with a red ribbon stood proudly in our field of vision, and there was a commotion in the crowd.
Their men simply unloaded their swords, and after the incident, our faces were a little hesitant.
Babyface regarded me as his master at this time, and came over to ask me what I meant: "Madam, I think this Zhu Gongzi is just playing tricks, or let's go up and arrest him now, and put the knife on his neck, and see if he tells the truth." When he said this, his face showed ruthlessness, and with this look, he really had a bit of murderous momentum, and this performance was really successful.
I looked at their people again, and then I noticed that although the weapons of the people on their side were unloaded, there were still some sharp wooden weapons, which exuded an unusual atmosphere, and I suddenly had an idea.
"Don't startle the snakes first, they don't have weapons, but be careful of the sharp wood in their hands, let's see what tricks this Zhu Gongzi plays."
Babyface looked at the men, then at me, and struggled inwardly for a while, but finally listened to me and ordered the people on our side to lay down their swords as well.
Na Zhu Gongzi saw that everyone put down their swords, and then ordered everyone to turn around and continue walking, passing by my carriage, and when he talked to me, the last word was facing upward, clearly with a sense of mischief, and there was no anxiety of getting lost at all.
Qu Bing got out of the car, and I didn't find the tree with the green ribbon tied to it, not even a tree like that tree, and I had doubts in my heart.
After walking for a long time, I felt that it was longer than the last time, we entered the misty forest again, Zhu Gongzi rode a horse beside my carriage, and even had the heart to chat with me about the gossip of the world's famous people, among which as a popular figure in the center of power in recent years, naturally broke a lot of news, of course, most of them are speculations in the eyes of the world.
It's about the past few days of poison, I have already gained resistance, and I can face myself unrecognizably in other people's mouths, and listen to these people's gossip with the attitude of exposing the truth in the future and slapping these villains in the face.
This time we didn't see the tree, everyone was a little apprehensive, and finally the fog was getting thinner and thinner, the sun shone on us, everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief, I looked at Zhu Gongzi not far away, this one did not feel relieved, but his eyes scanned a circle, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, which was clearly a prank that succeeded.
I took out the compass in my arms, or did I spin around, why?
Out of the misty forest, Zhu Gongzi continued to take us on, the closer we got, the sound of the opening of the mountain, accompanied by the scolding into my ears, I glanced at the two ice and snow sisters who were waiting beside me, and the more I felt that things were not simple.
Sure enough, when we entered the mountain, we found that this was a mountain opening site.
Every 10 meters or so, there is a person who looks like an official guarding there, and the commander is a group of people who look like migrant workers to work, and there are even officials who hold whips and throw whips at people who are a little slower.
I pretended to be curious and asked Zhu Gongzi, "Zhu Gongzi, what are these people mining?" ”
That Zhu Gongzi kept an eye at this time: "No, it's just a simple way to open mountains and build roads." ”
What about you, it would take so many people to simply open a mountain and build a road, and basically open the entire mountain, and it is so heavily guarded.
It seems that this is their secret, and I dare not ask again, lest I be alarmed.
After unloading the goods, Zhu Gongzi warmly left us for dinner, and I just wanted to know what they were mining here, so I stayed here, but especially told the two sisters to remind everyone to be careful.
Before I had time to eat, I proposed to go to this mountain, and Zhu Gongzi offered to take me there, saying that he was afraid that I would get lost, and I couldn't refuse, so I followed him.
Along the way, he introduced some irrelevant things, trying to avoid going to the mining place, saying that he was worried that the migrant workers would stain my clothes, but he didn't reveal what these people were mining here, and I also pretended to be stupid.
Although you can only see and hear from afar, the oppression here is so undisguised, and there is the merciless sound of whipping.
I picked up a stone, the stone was slightly black, and when Zhu Gongzi didn't pay attention, I took out the compass, but it was still useless, and even turned faster and faster closer to the black stone.
Then he lipsed Qu Xue: "Pick up black stones." The little girl made an excuse and left.
I asked tentatively, "Why are some of the stones here black?" It's the first time I've seen a stone like this. ”
Zhu Gongzi said ostentatiously: "This is a magnet." After speaking, he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said, and suddenly stopped: "This stone was born like this." ”
I nodded, and I didn't break it, and the conjecture in my mind was about confirmed.
