Chapter 8: One Less

(pink 650 plus)

After Li Tai and his entourage crossed the marsh that night, they slept all night, and on the second day, the team of eight people who came when they came was reduced to six people, and they went forward as usual.

Without Yao Yidi, a lot of beasts were alarmed along the way, and it was inevitable that the speed would slow down, and there would be no missing jade, and there was no difference in this team except for the somewhat strange atmosphere.

Li Tai's mask covered his eyes, he couldn't see his expression, and he didn't talk much, so there was no way to know how he was feeling at the moment.

Shen Jiantang, who was guilty in his heart, didn't have the heart to fight with Yao Yisheng, he sat on the back of the horse without clearing the poison, and when he stopped using dry food at noon, Xiao Fei helped him take the pulse, and when he saw that he had eaten two mouthfuls of pancakes, he stopped eating, and persuaded in a low voice helplessly:

"Childe, don't blame yourself, although you are at fault, no one knows if Miss Tang is really in trouble now, although there is a poisonous miasma in the forest, but Chang Siye went in to look for it a few times, but she didn't find anyone, maybe she hid in a safe place with Yao Gongzi."

Shen Jiantang glanced at Li Tai, who was sitting on the boulder drinking water, and whispered:

"Maybe he was taken by a wild beast."

"Childe, say that Fu Mo is a disaster." Xiao Fei frowned.

"Fourth," Shen Jiantang pulled his shirt a little irritably, called out to Li Tai, and said, "Otherwise, go back and look for it, the horse was carrying people and didn't run far, why did it suddenly disappear." ”

"When you've rested enough, you'll hit the road." Li Tai didn't seem to hear Shen Jiantang's voice, stuffed the kettle, hung it on the horse's back, glanced at everyone, and walked forward with the reins.

"Go, go, find the valley as soon as possible, and go back." He Shaozhi urged his throat twice, and then followed.

Yao Yisheng wrapped a strand of hair hanging down from his ear, sped up a few steps, walked to Li Tai's side, glanced sideways at him, and sneered:

"Why, it's going to feel distressing when you think about it, what a well-behaved little girl, it's just gone, I knew it earlier, it's better not to bring it out."

Seeing that he was silent, her eyes flashed, and she raised her hand to reach out to his chest, but before she touched the fabric on his body, her wrist was numb, and she knew that it was amazing, she quickly retracted her hand, rubbed her wrist that felt painful, and sneered:

"It hasn't changed, it's still so annoying to let people touch, I've changed your temper when you have changed your temper, that little thing is not your maid, who is she? Why don't you answer, what's unspeakable, your mind has always been different from ordinary people, let's listen, what is the difference between such a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. ”

"Is it because you're too idle to ask about things that have nothing to do with you?"

"Giggles," she chuckled sideways, attracting the sideways glances of several people around her, and when her laughter fell, the group lost their voices and continued to move forward quietly.

After getting out of the marsh, after three days, a group of six people climbed two mountains in a row, the deeper they went into the mountains and forests, the more frequent the beasts around them, and the good luck was used up before entering the swamp.

In addition, for a moment of carelessness, the six people also provoked a wolf pack, chased by hundreds of half-human-high wolves, think about how embarrassed, how many were injured, among which He Shaozhi was the most serious, his left arm was torn off a piece of meat by the leader of the wolf pack, so he could only lose some of his suits, sit on the only horse and continue to move forward.

On the fifth day of entering the mountain, it was almost dusk, and the six people who were tired were finally blessed by good luck again, and they found a tribal village outside a jungle, and the people who grew up in the deep mountains wore and spoke very different languages from the people outside the mountains, but fortunately, among them, there were old people who could speak the dialect of Shuzhong, although the tone was strange, but it was enough to communicate.

Between the inaccessible mountains, this small tribe called the Pusang has existed for a long time, and there is no reliable evidence for many years, and some people try to leave here, but every year the people who leave, except for one or two, never return, and gradually, they are content here, self-sufficient to maintain the blood of the Pusang people.

He Shaozhi injured half of his leg, but the merchant's true colors were not reduced, and after some exchanges, he took out a bag of refined salt and powdered sugar that he was reluctant to discard all the way, and was stunned to pry out a valley from the mouth of the village chief of this small tribe.

After hearing that they were going to the valley, the village chief persuaded him very much, saying that there was a giant python in the valley, whose tail could break trees and swallow people.

The village chief made three wooden houses for the group of wounded people to rest, and prepared a table of local food to entertain them, although the taste was light, but it was already a delicacy for this group of people.

"The valley is in the northwest of this village, it will probably take more than an hour, let's have a good rest tonight, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will take the guy to dig medicine," He Shaozhi rubbed his hands, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

From the people of Pu Sang who had been to the valley from the village, they all knew that there were indeed a lot of strange medicinal herbs there, and a few of them that could be described, after Yao Yisheng's collation, were all rare, almost including all kinds of medicinal herbs needed by the six people.

That night, when the quiet village was asleep, a figure came out of the wooden house and walked towards the small forest in the south of the village, and not long after, another figure came out of the house, stood in front of the wooden house for a moment, and then also went to the small forest to the south.

The next day, early in the morning, when everyone was dressed and gathered in front of the wooden house, ready to leave, they found that there were six people, and one was missing.

"Hey, what about Lao He?" Shen Jiantang looked left and right, and didn't see the figure of He Fatzi, so he asked Liu Guan, who was in the same room with him last night, "I didn't see him at breakfast, didn't you say that he went to Xiaojie, and it took so long for Xiaojie?" ”

Liu Guan's ordinary facial features also showed a puzzled look, and he said in a muffled voice: "I didn't see him in the morning, but I thought he was going to relieve himself." ”

"Hmph, he was the one who called him the happiest last night, but now he has no shadow, dead fat." Yao Yisheng crossed his waist with one hand and said impatiently.

"Okay, let's go and find it, don't get lost, it's not safe outside this village, he's injured again." Xiao Fei put down the bamboo basket she had borrowed from the village and took the lead to find someone.

The five of them asked all over the village, and then ran separately to look around the outside of the village, but there were many Pusang people in this Lin Zhou, and the footprints were everywhere, and they couldn't tell who was who.

"Such a big person, he can't fly out of thin air," Shen Jiantang grabbed his hair and said, "Could it be that Lao He is interested in getting rich and wants to take the lead, so he will go to collect medicine first." ”

"Is your head upside down," Yao Yisheng said sarcastically, "He has everything in the house, and he is a cripple with one arm, and there is a big python in the valley, just the cowardice in the bones of the fat man, do you think he has the courage to run alone?" ”

Without He Shaozhi, today's trip to collect medicine was delayed, Yao Yisheng proposed to go to collect medicine first, and after no one agreed, he could only stay and find someone with them, and in the evening, he still didn't find He Fatzi.

"You say, could it be that the locals are doing the trick?" After dinner in the evening, the five of them gathered in a room, Shen Jiantang lowered his voice and made a guess, as soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a few pairs of white eyes.

"The people here don't know any martial arts, He Fatty's broken arm is enough to kill half of them, what's more, what do they want from us? In my opinion, eighty percent of him ran out because he had some kind of mind in mind. Yao Yisheng said.

Xiao Fei glanced at her, and the action of helping Shen Jiantang change the dressing in her hand did not stop, and said, "Childe, don't think about it, people here are very gentle and don't do those strange things," she tied up the strip of cloth and turned to Li Taidao:

"Fourth master, you can give me an idea, Boss He is not here, you have the most experience here."

"Go to bed early and go to the valley tomorrow." Li Tai coldly dropped this sentence, and got up and went back to his cabin.

Shen Jiantang heard that he had no intention of looking for someone, his face changed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Xiao Fei pulled the hem of his clothes, and finally gave up.

The eight people who entered the mountain became five when they found the valley where their destination was located. Yao Yidi and Yu disappeared in the fog forest, and He Shaozhi disappeared in the small village of Pusang.

"This is it, the fog, and the tree"

In the crack between a mountain, you can't see if you don't look carefully, the hole covered by vines, is emitting wisps of smoke, and at present, a four- or five-foot tall leafy evergreen tree stands there, like a sign, several people are excited, and they do not forget to hold their own weapons, guarding against the big python that is said to exist.

Carefully burrowing into the mist-filled cave, the occasional droplet of water "ticking" from the top of the cave made the body tense, but the strange thing is that until they lit the torches and walked for about a quarter of an hour, they touched a long dark cave, and found the light ahead, and did not see half an animal, not even a small snake.

Pushing aside the vines, the first to drill out of the cave was Shen Jiantang who was holding a torch in one hand, the entrance to the cave that less than two people passed through was blocked by him, and the people behind him couldn't get through, Yao Yisheng was left behind, and was about to reprimand him to leave, when he heard Shen Jiantang howling like crazy outside the cave.

"Oh my God, come out and see."

The remaining four people got out of the cave one by one, and suddenly remembered the roar in their ears, and when they looked up, they all looked stunned.

"Boom-"

Overhead is a washed sky, spotless, crystal like a water mirror, flocks of three or five, unknown white birds hovering in the sky, making a "E" chirping sound.

On an open high platform, with soft grass at their feet, a valley surrounded by four walls, and on the towering mountain wall to the west, a silver-white waterfall hung down from the rapid stream in the sky, cutting in their sight, and the mountain walls on both sides were climbed by countless green vines and moss, and clusters of colorful exotic flowers and plants grew in between, like a rainbow blooming on this mountain wall, spreading towards them and surrounding them.

"Good, beautiful." When the visual impact is too shocking, people's language ability will be temporarily lost, and any gorgeous rhetoric is like tarnishing this pure beauty.

The first to make a move was Li Tai, and when the four of them were shocked by this world, he quickly looked at the surrounding environment without any appreciation, and after aiming at a pink plant at the corner of a mountain wall, the fist hanging down his side tightened and walked straight over.
