What is Fan Yuntong's life, I will not say it for the time being. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But it was said that Du Qunfang and Papaya strayed into the Dream Valley, and they couldn't help but follow the treasure exploration team.
Before leaving, the sun had just passed through the trees, under the two ancient pine trees in front of the grass shed, gathering everyone, Chang Shu, who was over forty years old, said solemnly: "Thank you for your love and promotion as the leader of treasure exploration." As the saying goes: if you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle. Before entering the valley, I set a few rules, if I don't obey, I will have a sore on my shoulder, and I dare not take on this heavy responsibility. ”
Crowd said: "This is natural. ”
First, as the saying goes, Yangshan rushes meat, and those who see it have a share. If you find treasures, you should be developed, no matter what the reason is to come here, the open dam is rainy, all wet, no one is allowed to occupy a point; second, the prepared grain and grass, as well as the prey, no matter who belongs to it, unified use, to be full and hungry; third, if in danger, when dealing with the common situation, there are difficulties, can not fight which foot pole is long; fourth, the grinder is heavy, four hands are lifted, the big back can not be carried by me alone, I propose that Brother Pu Wen be the deputy leader. What do you think of the above four points?"
The crowd said, "Dare not obey!"
Chang Shu said with satisfaction: "That's good." For the rest, I'll assign each person's business. "A simple division of labor was made for the group.
Seeing that Chang Shu was well arranged, Du Qunfang was also convinced, but although he did not live in brocade clothes and jade food, he could be regarded as worry-free about food and clothing, and he only wanted to go to the battlefield to kill and become famous, and avenge his father's sword, he was not much interested in treasures, and he didn't know what kind of treasure it was, and he doubted whether he could find the treasure, so he said: "Leader Chang, the two of us have no intention of looking for treasures, just to find the way." ”
Chang Shu glanced at everyone and sneered lightly: "Little brother, there is a saying: If you come, you will be safe." What do you mean when I'm done with the order, and you say you won't do it?"
Du Qunfang said: "Leader Chang misunderstood. I don't mean no. I was asking, when will I be able to get out of the valley?"
Cun Wen had already seen from last night's competition between Du Qunfang and several warriors that he was good at kung fu, looking for treasure and danger, and urgently needed talents, so he hurriedly said: "You two must not act alone, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that you are thorough." Besides, this is a narrow valley, which can lead to the grassland, and follow us all the way into the valley and all the way out of the valley, killing two birds with one stone, why not?
Du Qunfang thought about it, and said to Mu Mangzi helplessly: "It's planted!"
On the way out, the most common pine trees in this area are the main trees, and there are many pine needles on the road, which are soft.
According to the division of labor, treasure hunters go left out and right in, left in and right out, just like scanning, and do not let go of any suspicious place they think.
The road in front of you is relatively flat and clear at a glance. Expecting that there is no hidden treasure, the group will move faster.
Du Qunfang saw that the third person walking in front of him was about eight feet long, about twenty years old, only a little shorter than himself in this line, with good facial features, a different temperament, a strong body, a windy road, wearing a new linen cloth, with a tiger and snake double pattern on the scabbard on his waist, he caught up with him in a few steps, and said happily: "Brother, you are also from Wanfeng Village?"
The man didn't look back: "Where are you?"
"Wanfeng Village. ”
"Have you ever been to Jujuoping?"
"Only this time passing by. ”
"It's strange that I have to recognize that I am from Zaoping. ”
"What's your name?"
The man glanced back: "It's hard to go back." As he spoke, he turned and ran to the front. Du Qunfang felt that his name was a little strange, or that he had heard it wrong.
Mu Mangzi and Du Qunfang followed one after another, and at this time they had already followed, and asked, "What did you say?"
Du Qunfang said unhappily: "It's not something that a fool can understand. ”
"He's a fool? I know his name is Lan Hui. ”
Du Qunfang couldn't cry or laugh, but understood that the person was not "difficult to return", but "Lan Hui".
I arrived at a valley mouth early, the fog was misty, and at a glance, it was like a lake on the surface, like a dream.
Chang Shu said: "Rest for a while, and then leave after the fog clears." ”
Stop, find a seat, or stand.
One person said: "With such a big fog, you can't even see a figure ten steps away, how can you find treasure?"
Park Wen said: "Don't worry. This is the second pass of Dream Valley. In my opinion, passing through here is really entering the Valley of Dreams. I've been here once before, and I know that the weather here is unpredictable, one moment the fog is heavy, the other moment the wind blows the fog away, the next time the light rain continues, and the next time the eyes are empty. ”
After a break of incense, the mist slowly dissipated, and the treasure hunter entered the second valley.
Along the way, the sky is full of white clouds, birds are spinning, and the cliffs on both sides are like knives. However, on the gray-white cliffs, there is not a hair, the posture of thousands of ancient trees on the cliffs, each leading the way, first of all, the single plant, some stand proudly, unstoppable, some are tranquil and restrained, and have no quarrel with the world, and some stretch out their arms to welcome the guests. Looking at the many plants, some two or three plants are huddled together and love each other, and some are several competing for growth and vigorous.
The bottom of the valley is a different scene, relatively flat, and the space is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. In the canyon, the air is fresh, the brook is murmuring, the grass is fragrant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and from time to time various animals will jump out.
Du Qunfang said secretly: "This famous dangerous place is like a fairy beauty, and the scenery is very different from the outside world,"
Hearing someone behind him shouting "all the details", Du Qunfang looked back to see who was calling, but found that Mu Mangzi followed him only a few steps, as if he was attracted by the scenery here, looking left and right, his face was happy, there was a kind of leisure that he couldn't say, Du Qunfang sneered: "Are you looking for treasure, or are you looking?"
"You don't look, can you see me looking?"
Du Qunfang smiled again: "With me, fools can learn to be smart." ”
Mu Mangzi couldn't catch the stubble, and said, "That Lan Hui, I don't think I'm here to hunt for treasure." ”
While walking forward, Du Qunfang said, "How can you see it?"
"When I asked him yesterday what he was going to do with the treasure if he found it, what did he say?"
"How do you answer?"
"What's your business!"
Du Qunfang said angrily: "Your mother has nothing to say, but she says something about me!"
Mu Mangzi smiled, "I mean, he replied, 'What's your business!'"
Du Qunfang was so angry that he vomited blood, and scolded: "Your mother, stay away from me!"
The group was accustomed to the pair of sworn brothers making small quarrels, and only one man named Chang Chun, who was Chang Shu's brother, came to persuade him.
This treasure hunter, whenever he sees strange places, caves and deep grass, he must explore carefully, and he doesn't want to let go of the traces of beads and ants.
I searched for two or three days, but I found nothing for more than ten miles.
Early this morning, after using the water and about to set off again, Du Qunfang couldn't help but say to Chang Shu: "So see the hole and search the hole, see the strange and search the strange, when can you get out of the valley?"
Chang Shu smiled: "If the treasure is placed in the skin, it will take so many years?"
Pu Wen said: "I don't know how many people have gone through these Titicaca. ”
Du Qunfang regretted coming all the way.
Looking for another trip, resting, setting up a simple tent, solving the problem of eating, everyone gathered again to discuss the next plan of action.
There was a treasure hunter, who they called "Poison Eye", who had come here to look for treasure, and was the first to say: "Two leaders, the road you have walked in the past two days does not seem to be the last time, what is going on?"
Chang Shu said: "You're right. If you go down the old road, you will find nothing, only to find a new way. This time, we are going to take the road that others have not taken. ”
"Poisonous Eye" originally wanted to make trouble, and everyone accepted this explanation.
Two days later, find a place to go, the cliffs on both sides are in one place, seamless, everyone thought that they had reached a dead end, Chang Shu said: "This is the case in the Dream Valley, I thought there was no way to go, in fact, the mountains and rivers were restored, and there was a new road."
Sure enough, after turning the ground around a large bend, a new gorge appeared in front of me, with cliffs on both sides, the pine trees at the bottom of the valley towering, a lone road between the trees, and a group of monkeys in front of it.
Everyone was discussing, Du Qunfang was anxious, took off the bow, and drew an arrow with his backhand, only to hear a crisp bowstring sound, and a monkey in the front screamed in pain.
The monkeys shouted loudly, feeling that they were scolding, and then turned and ran away, and one of the big monkeys pulled the monkey, who did not know whether it was injured or killed, on its back, and ran away.
Mu Mangzi said regretfully: "I thought I could eat meat, but I was carried away." ”
Chang Shu said: "What are the monkeys anxious about? Monkeys are better than humans, but they can't solve the ropes, and most of them can't get by shooting monkeys." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly, a sharp whistle resounded through the valley, and everyone was amazed.
Before he could react, dozens of steps away, more than 20 warriors with tigers and bears on their backs flashed out of the bushes, wearing animal skins, with feathers on their heads, swords hanging from their waists, and bows and arrows in their hands. Treasure hunters are all talking about their throats.
Another whistle sounded, and more than two dozen samurai in the same costume appeared behind them, blocking the group on the lone road of the canyon.
Since entering Dream Valley, not to mention so many people, even if they have never seen human hair, everyone was shocked, quickly drew their swords, and protected the front and back.
Mu Mangzi was secretly surprised when he saw that the warrior named Lan Hui was actually faster than himself and Du Qunfang's sword movements, and a thought flashed out: "Could it be that he is the assassin who escaped in the sea of ten thousand winds and forests?"
The samurai who suddenly appeared did not immediately rush over, everyone first looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all looked at Chang Shu.
Chang Shu's sweat was already frightened, and then he said: "Back then, a group of unknown robbers snatched away the former Hu'an Palace lady Ba Yongchun in Wanfeng Linhai, and Jian Jian led more than 100 warriors to look for robbers everywhere, and he also entered Dream Valley several times, and I didn't hear that there were any tribes, could it be that this group of robbers was that group of robbers?"
Someone was shocked and said, "If that's the case, it's hanging." ”
After all, Chang Shu had a lot of experience, stabilized his emotions, and said: "Don't panic! I came in empty-handed, if it is really a robber, I am not afraid of being robbed, but I don't have to worry." Don't do it first! I stepped forward to speak. No use of force without my order!"
Chang Shu put the short sword back into the sheath, and a person slowly stepped forward, about twenty or thirty steps away from the samurai in front of him, saluted, and shouted: "Everyone, we are here when we get lost, and there is no malice." ”
The other party only stared, motionless, but no one answered.
Silence is the most elusive expression of intent, and everyone holds their breath. Chang Shu had to shout again.
After a while, a young woman came out from behind the samurai in front of her, about seven feet tall, covered in various feather decorations, bells and whistles, and shouted a few times, Chang Shu couldn't understand, and hurriedly turned around to call Pu Wen, and at the same time signaled the others not to move lightly.
Pu Wen stepped forward and said to Chang Shu: "I know that you can understand the language of many tribes, what is she shouting, do you understand?"
Park Wen was puzzled: "I don't understand this kind of bird talk." ”
Chang Shudao was extremely nervous, and secretly said to himself: "Don't panic. ”
The woman screamed twice, but only screamed, and still did not kill, and the two sides were deadlocked.
Chang Shu thought as quickly as he could about how to deal with the crisis in front of him, and finally thought of a trick that was not a trick: he took off the short sword on his body, placed it flat on the ground, and shouted and signaled to the other party, expressing his hope for peace.
At this time, a young man came out from the other side and shouted, "You two come first." "This time, it was Danfu water and soil language, and Chang Shu and Pu Wen understood it.
Between people, the most difficult thing is communication, as long as you can communicate, maybe there is a way to think, Chang Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Pu Wen said: "Be careful of deception. ”
Chang Shu said: "There is no way out, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, so I have to go over." ”
The two treasure hunters put their hands on top of their heads, indicating that they did not have weapons, and slowly moved over.
The other party asked, "Are you here for treasure?"
Chang Shu said: "It's not a secret, I came to hunt for treasure, but I got lost and hit the treasure world by mistake, and I hope to forgive me and let me go." "I gave a serious salute.
The person who asked the other party talked to the woman for a few words, and then shouted, "You can let go, but you must leave all your weapons behind!"
Chang Shu didn't know what he meant, and replied, "Let us discuss."
Chang Shu and Cun Wen turned around and came back.
Chang Shu said to the stunned crowd: "The other party can let him go, but he must leave no weapons left." Guys, what do you think?"
Lan replied: "What is the difference between handing over the weapon and catching it with your hands tied?
Du Qunfang also said: "Once you put down your weapon, you will have no power to fight back, and you will be slaughtered by others!
Chang Shu touched his chest and said, "With your two skills, you may be able to fight out and pick up a life." However, in this case, most people will not be able to live at all. We came to hunt for treasures, originally to make a windfall and enjoy the rest of our lives. If the treasure can't be found, then you should come to Dream Valley for a trip, if you lose your life, it's not worth it. ”
Pu Wen said: "Before coming to hunt for treasure, I have consulted many times, but I have not heard that there are people living in the valley, if it is not a robber, could it be a native of Hu'an Mountain hundreds of years ago? Look at those samurai, they are strong, there are more people than us, and the terrain is familiar, and the fight will inevitably end no good. I was thinking, putting down the weapon, perhaps, is the best way. ”
The crowd was gossiping, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. I only heard the impatient roar coming from front to back.
Chang Shu understood that no matter whether it was right or wrong, he had to make a decision as soon as possible, gritted his teeth, and said: "I have decided to put down my weapon! Life and death are up to fate! Those who are willing to let go, let go, and those who don't want to resign themselves to fate!"
Many people said: "Life and death are in one place, listen to the leader." ”
Chang Shu said solemnly: "Everyone ask for the blessing of the black ghost!"
The crowd recited the prayer that they thought was the most effective.
Papaya was the first to untie the sword, and the others also untied their weapons and laid them flat on the ground; Du and Lan were extremely reluctant, seeing that everyone had already untied their weapons, they couldn't be sure which way to dispose of them correctly, so they had to untie them.
Seeing that the group of treasure hunters had all lowered their weapons, the woman on the other side waved her hand, and her samurai divided to both sides, leaving a way.
Everyone hurriedly packed up their belongings, abandoned their weapons, and slowly moved forward.
Approaching the warriors who were entangled in the masculine, they were all afraid, only Du Qunfang, Lan Hui, and Papaya raised their heads and looked at each other, and Wang Ba drilled the fire kang, holding his breath and harboring fire.
Passing past those samurai, the treasure hunters did not dare to run fast or turn back, and walked forward quietly step by step.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded behind him. The crowd was terrified again!
The bold Du Qunfang, Lan Hui and the others turned around and found that the two groups of warriors had disappeared without a trace, and the weapons left by the treasure hunters were gone.
Everyone picked up a life, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
didn't go far, Chang Shu beckoned everyone to stand together to discuss.
Chang Shu said: "I was scared just now, everyone has been bold, and if you look for it again, there will be more luck and less luck." I think it's best to find a way out of the valley. ”
Pu Wen said: "Brother Chang's words are very true. Whether the treasure is something outside the body, or whether my life matters, I dare not lead the way anymore. ”
Everyone said "good", and Dudu Qunfang said angrily: "I didn't come to hunt for treasure, I lost my sword in vain!" Everyone looked at him and didn't speak.
The decision to leave Dream Valley was discussed, and no one objected, but there were disagreements about where to go. Someone said: "The best way is to go back the way you came." Another humane: "If you are afraid of being outflanked again, you don't want weapons, but things on your body." ”
couldn't unify their opinions, everyone looked at Chang Shu again, Chang Shu thought for a while, and said: "There is always a road before the car reaches the mountain, it is better to continue along this single road, I think I can always go until dawn!"
Everyone had no idea at this time, and Yanba farts followed.
After walking for half an hour, I got out of this canyon and turned over to a small pass.
Chang Shu walked in the front, stood at the pass and looked, only to see two or three miles in front of the road in the distance, the surrounding high and the middle low, the low terrain is flat, the land is connected, the trees are green and red, there are dozens of huts and tree sheds, and the cooking smoke is rising, a good canyon village.
Chang Shu said excitedly: "It's finally out!"
When the people heard him cry like this, they were overjoyed, and they all gathered together, and their spirits were reunited, and they withdrew and walked down the pass.
When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw five boys, wearing rattan clothes and leaf skirts, playing by the ridge, and saw a group of strangers coming, and opened their eyes, but they had no sense of fear.
When Chang Shu saw the child's costume, he thought: "Maybe he hasn't escaped from the tiger's mouth." It didn't break it, but he heard Pu Wen say: "I didn't think there were still people living here." ”
Chang Shu took a few steps forward and asked Xiao'er, "Where is this?"
A few children looked at him, didn't answer, and dispersed with a "woo".
Pu Wen had caught up and said, "What is it?"
Chang Shu said: "No matter where he is, go and see it first." What Park Wen wanted to say, but he couldn't say it.
The group continued to walk along the ridge to the village, and the two leaders still led the way.
"I think it's still in the net!" Pu Wen couldn't help but say to Chang Shu, who didn't answer, as if he was thinking.
"Brother Chang, what are you thinking?" said Pu Wen again.
"Let's go ahead and say. ”
Pu Wen turned around, motioned for everyone to pause, and walked forward more than thirty steps with Chang Shu before saying, "Brother Chang, what do you have to say?"
"Brother Cun, did you see a little thing hanging around his neck just now?"
Pu Wen was puzzled and said, "I don't care." ”
"In order to hunt for treasure, I once asked Hu Ben to get a few copies of lost treasure patterns from Hu'an Palace, and I devoted myself to exploration. There was a boy just now, covered in mud, but the object around his neck was very similar to the one painted on the picture. ”
Pu Wen exclaimed: "Brother Chang's meaning, is it to find a clue to the treasure?"
Chang Shu gently "shh This matter must be acted upon at the opportune moment, and not let everyone know about it first. If there are many people who know, each with his own thoughts, it is easy to do bad things, and even lead to death. ”
Pu Wen was happy on the one hand, but he was worried on the other hand, and even worried more than happy, and said: "There is no place to find in the valley, and it takes no effort to get it today." However, I don't know what kind of tribe this is, and if you don't listen to people's words? Blessed by the black ghosts, don't really be a thief who robbed the Hu'an Palace! Otherwise, you will be unable to save your life if you hunt for treasures in the tiger's mouth. What's going on now?"
