Chapter 248: Stupidity in a hurry

readx;

Mu Mangzi found that he and his opponent had reached a hole covered by fallen bamboo branches and leaves, and there was a hole in the hole (which he estimated may have been caused by the leopard when it entered), and the light slipped in through the hole - and the leopard, instead of turning and pounced on him again, ran towards the hole as fast as he could!

The leopard rushed out, and the bamboo branches and leaves at the entrance of the cave were broken open into a large hole, and the light suddenly brightened. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Mu Mangzi was drenched in water, threw away half of the torch in his hand that could only be left by his predecessors because the cave was relatively dry, and slowly passed towards the entrance of the cave with his sword, and looked again and again, and found that beyond the entrance of the cave, there was a small river.

After observing for a while, and making sure that the leopard was one step ahead, Mu Mangzi came out of the hole, and went down a few feet away to the river.

Mu Mangzi observed again, made sure that there was no other threat, jumped into the river with his body, and drank a few sips of water first, suppressing the shock.

———— at that time, Mu Mangzi believed that he was lucky to have escaped the catastrophe, and now when he told the chief and the dream of the day about the experience of that day, he had a new understanding:

He now thinks that there are several possibilities for the leopard's strange behavior that day: first, after a long stalemate, it was not sure of defeating its opponent, and it did not reach the point of starvation, so it did not launch an attack for a long time;

The second is that it may not necessarily want to eat itself, but that the river is its home, and it may just want to go home.

The third is other reasons that I can't think of at all.

At the same time, he now estimated that the leopard must be chasing some prey, and when he entered the hole, he approached the entrance of the hole opposite, and found that he and his companions occupied the path of its progress, so that no matter how much he forced it, it did not go to the other side of the hole.

But it's not clear, when it got behind him, maybe it entered a branch hole that didn't pass, and when it turned around, it found that it was blocked in front by Mu Mangzi.

Until now, Mu Mangzi has not figured out perhaps the most important point: it was a special narrow road encounter, a win-win result produced by the common calmness of both parties. If you have to decide the winner or loser, Mu Mangzi is the loser, because the leopard may have returned to his homeland, and Mu Mangzi was forced to leave his homeland.

At the same time, Mu Mangzi has a major discovery: that road, which is likely to be the road that connects the legendary Longbao Pit with the outside, at least one of them, many years ago, people entered and exited from there, but then it was blocked by falling rocks, etc., so that Longbao Pit became a closed area with no way out. But in the narration, in order to avoid doubts in the dream, he did not say this conclusion, which no longer makes sense.

——Returning to Mu Mangzi to continue to tell his experience that day:

The opponent disappeared, and when he saw the daylight, Mu Mangzi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that he was still in the Dragon Treasure Pit.

He had to rest first, recover his strength, then find something to eat, and then prepare torches (the torches left by his predecessors were almost consumed by him, and the other was too long, some of them broke at the touch of a button), and went back along the same path as the cave.

Mu Mangzi bathed and caught fish at the same time.

There are a lot of fish here, and catching fish is his strong point, so it didn't take much effort to catch two carps, estimated that the number was enough, and went ashore, took the fire, cut the fish, and grilled the fish.

The original smell of fish without any condiments wafts up in the river breeze.

Suddenly, with a whistle, the five ** samurai seemed to fall from the sky, and the three of them cut off Mu Mangzi's back road, and the two were on the opposite side of the river, leaving only the river in front of them to run.

This is a higher animal that is more intelligent and frightening than the leopard, and Mu Mangzi knew that he had no way to escape, so he was captured—and he later learned that at that time, these samurai were just passing by, and it was precisely because of the smell of their grilled fish that they discovered him and quietly outflanked him.

Mu Mangzi was tied into a big open hole, only to realize that he had fallen into the hands of the enemy, the big hole of the Dan tribe of Longshui Gorge.

Only then did he realize that he had inadvertently come out of the sinkhole that the people of Longbaokeng thought were impossible to come out of. It turned out that the sinkhole and the Longshui Gorge that I had heard of were actually separated by only one barrier that no one had crossed, and the thinnest part was estimated to be only more than ten miles thick.

The Lord of the Great Cave of Longshui Gorge welcomed his sudden visit unusually, but he was most interested in the eagle-patterned neck ornament he had just taken from the bones of the dead, and asked where he came from, who he was, and where was the hiding place of the Eagle Clan?

Obviously, the self-righteous big cave master underestimated Mu Mang, and his intention was exposed too early.

Mu Mangzi, who suddenly fell into the hands of the enemy, didn't know how to deal with it for a while, but one thing he knew was clear: a "trick" that he understood from being interrogated by adults after he and his friends had provoked him many times: a person, for the same thing, especially lying, is difficult to be completely consistent in repeated narratives.

He knew that the Great Cave Master would interrogate himself again and again until he got what he wanted. If there is a discrepancy (contradiction) in your answers, there will be a loophole, and the handle will be caught. Then, their identities will be exposed, and even the Dragon Treasure Pit will be discovered by them, and the end of the Eagle Tribe may have arrived.

In a hurry, Mu Mangzi had no better way to deal with it, but to answer "I don't know" no matter what he asked—a word that could be repeated at any time without any loopholes.

The lord of the big cave thought of a lot of hard ways to interrogate him, some were hard, such as hanging for a day and a night, some were soft, the food and wine were good, and later there were the beauty plans, and some were both soft and hard.

No matter how many tricks the big cave master used, Mu Mangzi only had one trick to deal with. Others are in a hurry, and this kid is stupid in a hurry.

Unable to open Mu Mangzi's mouth, the big cave master began to wonder how the young Mu Mangzi could have such a "tenacious" performance and such an effective experience of "fighting the enemy in the white zone". If you weren't a fool, it wouldn't make sense!

Four or five months later, the entire big cave people, except for the old treacherous big cave owner, did not come to a final conclusion, and all thought that Mu Mangzi was really a lost fool, relaxed their surveillance on him, and took him in, giving him a new code name "Dragon Four".

What the people in Longshui Gorge couldn't understand even more was that their big cave master seemed to like Mu Mangzi more and more, and after a few days, they would invite him to "bend the knees" for a talk.

Mu Mangzi took advantage of his hard-won freedom and tried to take advantage of the opportunity to go out, using the "escape" trick, to go to the entrance of the cave where he entered Longshui Gorge alone, wanting to escape, but what made him unbelieve it was that the cave had collapsed less than a mile, and a large number of stones had collapsed when they should not have collapsed, blocking the way back. Later, I went back and was equally disappointed.

Undoubtedly, this was a fatal blow, and he had no choice but to choose to survive in the Longshui Gorge Cave, and became friends with warriors such as Long You of the Dan tribe, as well as women such as Qihua and Yahua.

When Mu Mangzi said this, the chief elder was already stunned, and then said: "You originally went to Longshui Gorge! No wonder you looked for it, but there was no trace. When I was a child, I heard the old man say that the Ganlong Cave used to be a passage for us to enter and exit, and then the road disappeared. It is not easy for you to come back alive from the palm of the enemy's hand! The eagle god has a spirit! Show me the picture of the eagle god who saved you!"

Mu Mangzi took off the neck ornament, and the chief elder praised and sighed while looking at it, and it took a while before returning it to Mu Mangzi and said, "What happened later?"

Mu Mangzi doesn't want to continue telling his story, because the following story may cause "Nami" to feel sad.

"And then?" asked the chief.

Mu Mangzi glanced at Meng Yu, and Meng Yu also said, "What happened later?"

Mu Mangzi heard her say the same thing, and continued to talk about his experience-

Returning to his hometown is something that Mu Mangzi has hollowed out his mind to think about, and he has searched for a way back many times, but he has failed.

More than two years later, he thought of a desperate solution: from the Baihuba people who were regarded as a forbidden area by the people of Longshui Gorge, they set up a road of "ghost soldiers" to leave Longshui Gorge, and then see if there was a way back to Longbaokeng.

So, he secretly prepared fully until the summer of that year, without saying goodbye, and set off along the "ghost road".

Three days later, in the evening, he arrived at the cave behind Dongtingzhuang, only to find that he was blocked by a strange, thick wooden door.

After trying several times, there was no way to open the wooden door, and Mu Mangzi thought of burning it with fire, but quickly rejected it, because it would attract people from outside, and he didn't want to fall into the hands of the enemy for some reason.

The second method he came up with was to use his sword to cut a hole in the wooden door, which was time-consuming, but the movement was small.

In his own mind, he planned to attack in the middle of the night.

It is often said that "Ji people have their own natural appearance", and Mu Mangzi's shit has arrived.

Late that night, when the moon was shining, Mu Mangzi was about to open his sword at the wooden door, but he heard a gentle cough from inside, so he stuck to the wooden door and listened carefully.

After a while, someone inside came to open the wooden door.

Mu Mangzi was secretly happy and hid in a place where the moonlight could not shine.

An old man came out of the wooden door, carrying a bamboo basket in each hand, and I don't know what he was going to do.

Mu Mangzi held his breath until the old man walked towards the witch warriors, and then he stepped into the cave lightly.

Mu Mangzi entered the cave, and by a small torch inserted in a hollow stone, he saw that there were a lot of miscellaneous things piled up in it, mainly firewood and grass, and some jars, and I don't know what it contained.

Mu Mangzi went to the mouth of the cave first, looked at it with his face against the hole, and found that there was a spacious earthen dam outside, and inside the dam, there was a village.

Mu Mangzi thought that he couldn't go out at this time, and he had to find out who was in Zhuangzi first, so he hid in the cave.

After waiting for a long time, I saw that the old man carried two bamboo baskets, came back, closed the door, drew the torch, and walked out of the cave - Mu Mangzi didn't know, this was Mu Zisan, the owner of Dongting Village, who quietly went to send blood food to the "ghost soldiers" warriors (witch warriors) guarding Hu'an Mountain below by moonlight.

Mu Mangzi hid in the cave, planning to wait for the old man who was still busy in the middle of the night to go to sleep, and then go out to check.

Suddenly, he felt something stab him in the back of the neck, a little pain, almost screamed, touched it with his hand, and got a pimple.

Soon, he felt the pain rapidly intensifying, and immediately understood that he had been poisoned.

He didn't know what kind of poison he had been in, but he felt extremely bad, and if he wanted to live, he had to come out and ask for help.

Mu Mangzi didn't run out of the hole and fell to the ground - later, he went into the hole many times, trying to find the culprit who poisoned him and correct the Fa on the spot, but he didn't find it, and he still doesn't understand what poison attacked him.

When he woke up, Mu Mangzi found himself lying on a collapse, and knew that he had arrived at a place called Dongtingzhuang.

It was the old man who "opened the door" for Mu Mangzi last night who found him poisoned the next morning and saved his life.

Mu Mangzi, who is slowly recovering, feels that Mu Zisan, the owner of this Zhuangzi, is good to him, but it seems that he is also like the big cave master in Longshui Gorge, and he is particularly interested in his neck ornament, asking this and that, although there is no forced confession.

At that time, Mu Mangzi knew almost nothing outside the Tiankeng, and he didn't have much understanding of the new situation outside, and his cognition was still in the tribal hatred of many years ago, and the encounter in the Longshui Xiadan tribe strengthened his understanding; he didn't know that Pakistan had been unified for many years, and the main internal contradiction was no longer the contradiction between the tribes, but the contradiction between the ruling and the ruled, and he didn't know that Pakistan was facing the life-and-death moment of being annexed, and the main contradiction had been transferred.

Therefore, the "survival experience" he gained from Longshui Gorge, to be precise, was a way to save his life, which made him once again choose to be "silent" in front of strange tribes and strange people, not saying anything, and being regarded as a fool again, so that it later became a "habit".

——— Mu Mangzi said this, and the chief said, "What about later?"
