Chapter 242: Pretending

Ning Yan and the two countries, the three parties have their own thoughts; In the territory of Jiang Kingdom, Jiang He and the queen are in full swing; The old Chu forces will also take the opportunity to stir up the situation......

The smoke of the troubled times faintly blew over Kyushu, and the melee of the three kingdoms seemed to be about to break out!

But Peacock Mountain is like the only paradise in the world, quiet and safe, not disturbed by the outside world. And Wei Nong and Yuan Che, who were on Peacock Mountain, naturally had no idea about the chaos of the Three Kingdoms. After Yuan Che recovered from the wind and cold, the two of them began to continue to hurry, and re-divided the labor: Yuan Che was responsible for opening the road every day, and Wei Nong was responsible for camping, hunting, cooking, and laundry, and the two of them were much faster than the previous four people.

After another month of arduous trekking, defeating two tigers and a poisonous snake on the way, they finally found the dragon's mouth of the dragon sword - the place where the book is hidden!

As expected, in the deep mountains that have been uninhabited for hundreds of years, the cave has long been overgrown with all kinds of climbing vines and plants, and it is impossible to see where the entrance is. Fortunately, the pattern on the dragon sword was vividly drawn, and the ups and downs of the mountains were blended into the dragon's head, so that they finally determined the location of the cave entrance.

"Now that we've decided that the entrance is here, let's do it!" Since Yuan Che suffered a cold, he has become in a good mood, and his energy is much stronger than before, and he is even more excited when he sees victory in sight.

Wei Nong glanced at him: "What are you going to do?" ”

"The old rule, cut with a sword!" Yuan Che raised the golden dragon sword, and as he spoke, he was about to cut down on the climbing vine.

Wei Nong looked at the climbing vine that could not be seen at a glance, and had a deep sense of powerlessness: "If we cut it like this, we won't be able to finish it when we are tired to death." I don't know how many hundred years these trees have grown, and I don't know if there are any poisonous insects and birds hidden in them. ”

"So what do you say you should do?" Yuan Che pointed at the dragon sword and looked at her.

Wei Nong looked at the climbing vines all over his eyes, and didn't answer for a while, just reached out to touch the vines, as if he was studying something.

Yuan Che was also extremely patient for the first time, so he waited quietly.

"How about we attack with fire?" Finally, the slight nong proposed.

"You mean, set a fire?" Yuan Che was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good idea, save time and effort!" No matter what poisonous insects and birds it is, they will all be set on fire and burned to death. ”

Wei Nong nodded: "But we have to hide a little farther, and I don't know what poison will be burned." ”

"Okay, you don't have to do this little thing yourself, I'll do it!" Yuan Che patted his chest and promised: "Look where it's safer to hide, go and set up the tent, I think this fire is estimated to burn for a day or two, otherwise it won't burn out." ”

"I'm afraid I'll burn the books inside." Wei Nong has some concerns again.

Yuan Che laughed: "You can rest assured." The book collector is not a fool, is it neatly placed in the cave? That would have turned to ashes a long time ago! ”

"That's right, let us do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. It's a big deal, no one gets the book. "Weinong prepares for the worst first.

The two studied the terrain for a while, and finally settled on a distant location, with water sources nearby, which was safe and convenient. Wei Nong quickly went over to set up camp and set up a tent, while Yuan Che went around the cave covered with climbing vines and lit a fire.

It was noon, the weather was hot and dry, and the ignited spark was burning along the vines. Yuan Che watched from the side for a while, and when he saw that the fire had been completed, he hurriedly ran to find Weinong. The two of them set up their tents together, stood by the spring and looked out, and the fire could be faintly seen in the direction of the cave, as if they were competing with the scorching sun in the sky.

After a while, they heard a sound of birdsong coming from it, and then the two of them saw flocks of black birds flying out from the direction of the cave, fluttering their wings in a panic, and flying in all directions.

Yuan Che looked over against the sun: "Is that a crow?" ”

"There are crows, and quite a few are bats."

Yuan Che immediately showed a frightened expression, or rather, disgust: "Fortunately, I ran fast!" If you get entangled in these things, it's disgusting. ”

It's been a long time since he's said anything like this. Wei Nong thought about it, it seemed that after recovering from the wind and cold, the temper of this prince seemed to be better, and every day the two of them were busy on the road, and he almost never complained about the bitterness and tiredness. Only when she does the laundry will he pose as a pampered son of the world.

Therefore, when he heard him speak like this, Wei Nong felt very surprised, and couldn't help but think of an old saying, "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change."

It's just that the fire outside the cave has become more and more vigorous, and there is a faint tendency to soar to the sky. Seeing this, Yuan Che began to worry again: "This fire won't burn the whole mountain, right?" ”

Wei Nong thought he was worried about the safety of the two, and was about to reassure him, but heard him say again: "Hey! Will I burn the words I inscribed in Yamaguchi? Wouldn't it give me one less chance to live forever! ”

Wei Nong didn't bother to pay attention to him for a while.

Fortunately, Yuan Che didn't make a fool of himself for too long, and then came to his senses: "Oh, there is water everywhere in this mountain, and it can't be boiled." Even if it burns to the mountain pass, there is a cat's eye river, right? ”

"Okay, His Royal Highness," he smiled slightly, "The rainy season in Jiang Country is coming, you have time to think about these messes, it is better to think about how to go into the cave to find books, and how to avoid the rainy season and go down the mountain as soon as possible." ”

"Is the rainy season coming?" Yuan Che frowned: "What time is it now?" ”

Wei Nong shook his head: "I don't know the exact date, but when I looked at the moon last night, it should be the end of March." ”

At the end of March, that is, they had been in the mountains for at least fifty days! Yuan Che remembered the letter he wrote to his father, Wei Hou, saying that if he hadn't come down the mountain by the end of May, he would ask Wei Hou to send someone to guard the Maoyan River. Now there are two months, is there enough time?

Although Yuan Che had concerns in his heart, he didn't want Wei Nong to know, but instead smiled confidently: "What's so difficult about this? The reason for going up the mountain is slow is to open the road, and it is good to go down the mountain and return the original way, and it will be completed in ten days, right? ”

Wei Nong was faintly worried: "I always feel that this journey is too smooth, except for Yun Xiao's matter, we haven't even encountered a poisonous insect." It's spring now, and it's ...... down."

"Phew! What a frustrating thing to say! Yuan Che immediately interrupted her: "We have a smooth journey, that's because this son is blessed with deep fortune and auspicious stars!" Without those moths, the descent would only be smoother, okay? ”

"That being said...... "I don't know what the situation is outside." We've been missing for a few months, will King Ning ......?"

"You're worried about us? Or are you worried about Yunchen? Yuan Che interrupted her again, his voice suddenly cold, and he made no secret of his acrimony.

He hadn't spoken sarcastically like this for a long time, and Wei Nong looked at him inexplicably: "What do you want to say?" ”

Yuan Che's face became even more grim: "What am I talking about, you don't know?" ”

Slightly lowered his eyes and was silent. And her silence was more like an attitude in Yuan Che's view, which also made him even more annoyed: "It's really a water-based poplar!" My brother is dead and I like my brother, do you ...... Shameless! ”

Since the night of passing by Wanxianglou, any unpleasant words can no longer hurt Weinong, but she laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you know my love history, I'm afraid you will scold even harder." ”

This sentence undoubtedly stimulated Yuan Che even more, and he almost scolded: "Do you still want to be shameless?" I'm ashamed of you. ”

Wei Nong felt that he was simply unreasonable, and after thinking about it for a while, he sneered: "What? The prince thinks that the place where the book is hidden has been found, and I am of no use, so I want to turn my face? ”

"I ......" Yuan Che was choked, and then became furious: "What did you say?" Am I so mean? ”

Wei sneered: "Are you still less despicable?" Ever since you knew me, has you ever used my mind? ”

In the blink of an eye, they had known each other for a whole year, and Yuan Che obviously felt that she was very wrong, but looking back, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and he had no way to defend himself.

Seeing that he acquiesced, Wei Nong walked straight to his tent: "If the prince feels that he doesn't need me in the future, then let's go our separate ways, and from now on, we will each rely on our own ability." ”

"I don't mean that!" Yuan Che finally panicked.

Wei Nong's face was cold: "Then please control Chrysostom and don't ask me about my private affairs!" ”

This attitude was very tough, Yuan Che was embarrassed all of a sudden, and shouted involuntarily: "The mouth grows on me, I can say whatever I want!" There's a kind of don't listen to it! Don't be afraid of what others say! ”

"What did I do?" The faint sound was three points colder, like frozen amber in winter, cold and cold.

After that, she didn't wait for Yuan Che to reply, and went straight into the tent.

Yuan Che was so angry that he ran to the spring with his legs raised, and washed his face vigorously to calm down. He looked at the flowing spring water, and felt that his heart was in turmoil, but he couldn't tell who he was angry with or what he was angry about, only thinking that if there was a slave next to him, he would definitely kick it over.

That night, until late at night, Weinong did not come out of the tent, let alone eat. In the past, Peacock Mountain was silent at night, but today it is probably because of the blazing fire outside the cave, which makes the birds and animals hidden in the mountains restless, just like Yuan Che's mood at this moment.

He sat in the grass outside the tent, munching on a piece of naan in a depressed manner, glancing at the faint tent from time to time, and then at the light of the fire that reached into the sky. And then...... Continue to eat naan with your head down.

It wasn't until he had eaten a whole piece of naan and drank a whole pot of spring water that he finally mustered up the courage to walk to the tent and cautiously asked, "Hey!" Are you hungry? ”

No one in the tent responded.

Yuan Che began to feel even more uneasy: "If you are angry, you have to eat, otherwise you won't have the strength to find a book tomorrow." ”

Still no one answered.

Yuan Che decided to harden up: "Don't you know what to do!" ”

Three sentences, but there has been no response. He felt that it was time to give himself a reason to break in, and in case he lost his temper, he could also explain that he was worried about her safety.

Thinking like this, Yuan Che was in a better mood, so he pretended to take the naan and the kettle, opened the slightly thick tent and walked in......
