Night is about to fall, the cliff is full of smoke and unfathomable, and strange cries are heard from time to time.

The bald old man pulled out the rags from my mouth, pinched out a handful of black stuff from the bag, and poured it directly into my mouth. A choking smell of herbs came, and before I could chew, he poured me another sip of water.

I swallowed the foam almost in one gulp, only to feel that there was a smell in it, similar to what Luo Dajin had used before, like butterfly bones.

This herb grows extremely strangely, it grows out of the bones, in the mountains, the mist is very humid, after the animal is corrupted, the middle of the bones is empty, there are seeds that sprout and grow in the cracks of the bones, the leaves are like butterflies, so it is called the butterfly bone.

The herb picker will break the bone and take its roots and put it into the medicine. The butterfly bones that grow in the empty bones of the dead are the best quality, and with some medicinal materials, they can become life-saving medicine or life-killing medicine.

I haven't tasted the other flavors, and I can't tell the difference. However, not long after I ate it, I felt like a knife was scraping in my stomach, which was extremely uncomfortable, and cold sweat broke out on my head.

I scolded: "Bald, what kind of ghost herbs did you give me to eat, little grandpa, I almost died of pain, do you have any ability." ”

The bald old man's face changed suddenly: "Who do you call bald?" Grandpa, I'm a large Shen Yinshan. Herb suppression Gu worms, there will naturally be a reaction, you little doll knows an egg. ”

I rolled on the ground in pain, sweated profusely, and finally didn't even have the strength to speak, but my eyes were still wide and I looked at the bald man with hatred.

The old woman was looking for something on the edge of the cliff, and muttered: "Luo Youdao said that there is a secret passage to go down here, why didn't you see it?" ”

The bald Shen Yinshan said: "Old woman, could it be that Luo Youdao didn't fall for your beauty trick and deceived you, there is no way down the cliff here, let's fall big this time." ”

The old woman turned her head and glared at Shen Yinshan: "Impossible." Luo Youdao has coveted my beauty for many years, and when he invited him to drink, he was so drunk that he even told him about peeking at the widow's bath when he was a child. ”

Shen Yinshan seemed to be a little afraid, and smiled: "Of course I won't doubt your appearance, old woman, no one in this world can stop your beautiful appearance." ”

I retched, the two old thieves said disgusting love words, it was really disgusting, the old woman wore lipstick and fluttered rouge, nondescript, if this is also called a beautiful face, Dong Shi is also a peerless beauty.

I'd rather die on a stone than listen to them say such disgusting words: "Dirty ears, dirty ears, I beg you not to talk like that, little grandpa, I'm dying of disgust." Dong Shi was going to laugh. ”

The old woman was originally patted by Shen Yinshan, and she was very comfortable, but when she heard my shout, her expression changed suddenly: "Little bastard, put your mouth clean for me." In the future, you will follow us, and you will not be able to deal with us well, because you will suffer hardship. I think back then, I, Miao Xiuping, was also a flower in the Gu Gate. ”

I said, "Trumpet flowers." ”

Miao Xiuping's face became more and more ugly, and she was about to step forward to beat someone, but was pulled by Shen Yinshan: "Okay, okay, old woman, don't worry about the little doll, let's find a way down the mountain." ”

The two searched for more than ten minutes on the edge of the cliff, and finally found a little eyebrow. Under a large stone, there is a ladder embedded vertically in the stone, and the edge of the ladder is covered with weeds, overgrown with various kinds of rattan plants, and covered by large stones.

It's hard to find out if you don't find out in advance.

Shen Yinshan retreated in front of me: "Little doll, this hanging ladder is very steep, I will tie you to my body in a while, you have to be obedient, otherwise we will all fall to the bottom of the valley and fall to pieces." ”

After my stomach scraped like a knife, where did I still have the strength to make it bad, so I had to let him deal with it: "I naturally follow you, how can it be bad?" ”

Taking advantage of the last ray of light at dusk, Shen Yinshan first tied a rope to the big stone, and then carried me on his back, and Miao Xiuping helped tie me tightly with a rope. Then the two of them changed into deerskin gloves.

Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping often collected medicine on the mountain, and the two of them delicately borrowed ropes, rowed over large stones, and finally grabbed the hanging ladder on the cliff. The surface of the ladder is covered with a layer of moss.

The hanging ladder is made of thick steel bars embedded in the stones, and the stone face is chiseled to the bottom of the mist-shrouded valley.

I lay on Shen Yinshan's back, turned my head to look at the bottom of the cliff, my heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and even breathing became difficult, and the mountain wind was even more howling.

However, Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping cooperated tacitly, and they brought a lot of strange gadgets, although they found danger a few times, they were all resolved in time.

Shen Yinshan said: "This hanging ladder is the last way for the people of Heihuazhai to escape for their lives in the war, and it is the core secret of their village, but I didn't expect Luo Youdao to be greedy for beauty and say it." ”

Miao Xiuping responded: "Since Luo Doudou, the generation of Heihuazhai is not as good as the generation, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to Heihuazhai to steal." ”

I listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't interject, but I became more and more interested in that Luo Doudou, what kind of person he was, and why there were so many people who praised his reputation after he died.

It took an hour to go down the cliff to the bottom of the valley. By the time I came down, it was completely dark. Shen Yinshan untied me and took out a fire fold and flashlight.

I landed on the ground and found that the ground was covered with a thick layer of dead leaves, and I could hear the sound of branches breaking after two steps.

By the faint light of the flashlight, I noticed that the valley floor was overgrown with various plants, and several large trees towered into the sky, and the sound of water could be heard not far away.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, it was cloudy and mist, and when it came down, the fog was not as strong as expected. Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping rested against a stone, took out another ointment and applied it to the exposed part of their body.

The smell of the ointment was choking.

Shen Yinshan threw the ointment to me: "If it doesn't hurt to death, just apply it yourself, there are a lot of poisonous insects and strange insects in the poisonous insect valley, and a bite is enough for you." This ointment can repel insects. ”

I thought to myself, since it is called the Valley of Poisonous Insects, there must be a lot of poisonous insects, so I picked up the ointment and reluctantly applied some. The pain in the stomach was said to have eased, but it was not alleviated, it always came one after another, but fortunately it did not cause vomiting blood.

After the three of them applied the ointment, Shen Yinshan rubbed the fire fold, and some flames appeared, and according to the direction of the flames, he finally chose to walk towards the east of the Poisonous Insect Valley.

I couldn't figure out what they were going to do, so I gritted my teeth and followed them, all the way, I came across some big trees, and water droplets were dripping down, and after walking for less than half an hour, I was drenched.

Miao Xiuping suddenly said: "Old man, something is wrong, along the way, we haven't even seen a centipede, and there is not a single poisonous snake hanging on the tree." There are no poisonous insects in the Valley of Poisonous Insects, isn't that a joke? Her voice trembled.

As soon as she said this, I also realized that the valley was supposed to be full of insects, but along the way, I only saw plants, but not a single crawling poisonous insect.

This inaccessible place is a paradise for insects. The valley named after the Valley of Poisonous Insects has not a single bug. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and it seems that there is something strange in the Valley of Poisonous Insects.

Shen Yinshan's expression was very solemn: "Yes, I also think it's strange, along the way, there is not even a moth." Could it be that all the insects in the Valley of Poisonous Insects are dead? ”

I couldn't help but shudder: "Don't say it or not, my back bones are starting to chill, and I always feel the wind blowing." ”

Shen Yinshan retreated from the front and stood next to Miao Xiuping. The two of them looked around nervously, their nerves tense. But the forest was dark, and there was nothing unusual at all.

At this moment, it was completely dark, and I couldn't see the reason at all.

Shen Yinshan immediately decided: "Don't go forward, get some firewood to make a fire, and wait for tomorrow to dawn, let's set off again." ”

Shen Yinshan chose a big stone, picked up some firewood nearby, and took a lot of effort to light the bonfire. After the light, everyone is a lot more steady.

Bugs are afraid of campfires, and ghosts are reluctant to go near the fire.

The two of them brought dry food, and Shen Yinshan pinched a piece for me, which was a rice ball wrapped in rice, cold and tasteless. But I still chew it with relish, and once people are hungry, everything they eat is delicious.

Shen Yinshan put some insect repellent herbs nearby, made the bonfire bigger, and took off his coat again: "Old woman, you sleep by me, I keep watch for the night, and when it dawns tomorrow, let's set off again." ”

Miao Xiuping was old, and she climbed down from the cliff again, she was indeed tired, muttered twice, and fell asleep.

Shen Yinshan looked at me and said with a smile: "Little doll, I don't want to stare at you all night, if you want to run, run away, anyway, this is the Valley of Poisonous Insects." ”

I thought to myself, standing on the top of the mountain, the valley is covered with clouds and mist, and I don't know how big the area is, and it is very easy to get lost. It's going to be three shifts in the middle of the night, so I won't be stupid enough to run away alone, after all, at this time, it's safer for three people to be together than one.

I said, "I want to escape, but I also know that the probability of surviving alone in the valley is much lower than that of three people together." ”

Shen Yinshan nodded: "What a smart child, no wonder Luo Dajin is so optimistic about you." You get some branches and spread them on the ground and get some sleep. ”

After I baked the fire, the Gu worms in my stomach were not so strong, and after laying out the branches, I curled up and prepared to sleep.

During the day, he was beaten by Luo Dajin dozens of times, and he didn't feel pain when he walked, but when he lay down, the wound touched the uneven branches, and he only felt that his bones hurt, and in some places it was hot.

I adjusted my sleeping position many times, and finally I had to lie on the branch, and the pain was better, and the tiredness hit me, and slowly I fell asleep.

"Wake up! Wake up! In a daze, I heard a faint voice ringing in my ears.

I thought it was dawn, and Shen Yinshan was about to call me to get up, so I opened my eyes sleepily and found that it was still pitch black all around. Shen Yinshan and Miao Xiuping leaned together, and there was a slight snoring.

I woke up all at once.

"Look over here." The voice came from my side.

I hurriedly turned my head to look over, and saw a paper figure in a green dress and a red dress with a faint red dot on his face, tilting his head to look at me.
