Chapter Ninety-Eight: Return to the Mountain City

The sun has set in the west, and the white clouds are long.

On the Halba Ridge, the pine forest is dense and the breeze is gentle.

Luo Shuangchen and Lao Zheng took Lu Shikun, Nalan Songhan, He Wenhua, and Yan Zimo to drag their tired bodies out of the meteor stream.

"Let's hold on for a while, it's not dark yet, we have to find a place to rest, and then go out of the mountain after dark, otherwise there are mobile sentinels everywhere in this mountain, and it is good if they are discovered, and it is not good if they are found by the people who are loose and hairy, they are secretly hooking up with a chain. We still don't talk much, and the birds in the jungle are alarmed, and we may be discovered by the secret sentinels, so you all come with me, and go to the shack of my mill. ”

At this time, even though these people have kung fu, but after all, they are hungry, and they climb down from the hanging corpse cliff, and then walk for a long time, their physical strength is overdrawn a lot, and the speed of walking is much slower.

"Hansheng, do you know where we were before we came to Black Eagle Peak?" Nalan asked Luo Shuangchen in a low voice.

"Third brother, let's talk about it when we get to the place." Saying that, Luo Shuangchen made a silent gesture.

A few people walked for half an hour, only to see the old Zheng Tou in front of him spread his arms and stopped everyone, "Don't move, everyone!" There are pits, and you see that on either side of this long ditch there are four stout pine trees, and the trees are tied with thin ropes, and on the surface of the ditch are floating soil and weeds and fallen leaves, and inside are thick wooden stakes with large blades tied, which we call 'stir-fried kohlrabi'. ”

"So what do we do? Did you pass from somewhere else? Luo Shuangchen asked.

"No, I don't know how many hidden ropes are buried on both sides of this ditch, touch one, there will be random arrows flying nearby, that is more troublesome, young man, you help me, grab a rope from the root of the pine tree on the left, you, the big-bellied brother (talking about Yan Zimo), you go to the pine tree on my right and grab the rope, don't let go, wait for me to trigger the mechanism, a few of you will step on my shoulder, step on the rolling stump, and jump to the ditch, remember that you can only step on one foot. Let's split up! ”

According to Lao Zheng Tou's arrangement, Luo and Yan ran to the two pine trees respectively, grabbed the rope buried in the soil at the root, and saw Lao Zheng Tou's front legs bowed, and his hind legs were tense, and he took the shotgun in his hand and tapped a scattered branch on the surface of the ditch with the barrel, and he heard a "Gab-" sound, and a thick stump suddenly rolled out of the ditch, with a large blade rolling brightly on it, and the knife was dazzling, and a bottomless trench of 7 was shown below.

"Hurry!" With Lao Zheng's loud shout, Lu Shikun, Nalan Songhan, and He Wenhua didn't dare to slack off, stepped on Lao Zheng's shoulder, jumped over the thick wooden stake rotating in the ditch, and then stepped on the back of the knife on the stake, jumped to the opposite bank, and landed safely.

"Hansheng! What do you do? Lu Shikun was in a hurry.

"Brother Big Belly, you climb up the tree, hold on to the rope, don't let go, watch the rope I throw at you, connect the two ropes together, and then pull the rope up desperately, and at the same time the child you let go and lie on the ground and don't move." After saying that, he shouted the slogan again, "Start-"

Luo Shuangchen and Yan Zimo acted together, pulled the rolling stake to the pine tree beside Yan Zimo, the big blades flew out one after another, and Lao Zheng Tou fell to the ground and shouted: "Brother Big Belly Jump down and give me the head of the rope, the young man untie the rope around my waist, circle the tree three times, and then pull it into a circle, and throw it to the opposite side, you catch the tall thin one, don't let go, tie it to the tree next to you." ”

With the cooperation of Luo Shuangchen and Yan Zimo, and under the command of Lao Zheng Tou, the three of them stepped on the rope and quickly crossed the deep trench.

Luo Shuangchen thought, if I were alone, I wouldn't be able to cross the trench smoothly, what kind of master designed this! It's thrilling.

Lao Zheng Tou led everyone over two mountain beams again, and came to the grinding table that Lao Zheng Tou said, which is named because of the oblique protrusion of a large rock on the hillside, which really looks like a big grinding plate. Underneath the mill, outside the space between the rock and the ground, a few pine poles were erected and surrounded by hay.

"Look, the front is where I went into the mountains to hunt and rest, everyone rests for a while, and there is still some rice, so I will make a fire and cook porridge for everyone to eat." Old Zheng said with a smile.

And they went into the hut and sat down to rest at will.

"Third brother, how did you get to this Harba Ridge?" Luo Shuangchen asked.

Nalan Songhan recounted how they went to Lu Shikun's Tianhe Horse Farm to ride horses, how they happened to meet Yan Zimo's "Snow Field Chasing Wind Horse", how they met Cao Da Pole, how he earned a pine hair pole, how they caught Cao Da Pole, how they were "counted as a dead ghost" and so on.

"So it's such a twist and turn!" Luo Shuangchen sighed and said, "Third brother, President Lu, I guess that the gold lord of this new capital must be our enemy, and President Lu's family must be ruined, colluding with bandits to kidnap Uncle He and Uncle Yan, the reason is not only to cut off the wings, but also to put you in a situation where it is difficult to scream, and his heart is extremely sinister." Then, he told how he and Cheng Gongnian made a big fuss with Cheng Gongnian, how they fell into the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, how they blew up the Horse Epidemic Research Office, rescued more than 80 suffering brothers, met Wang Zhiyou who was injured on the road, and how they came to the Chiya River.

Lu Shikun said with emotion: "Hansheng, if you hadn't climbed the Dharma Cave in danger and rescued us, I'm afraid we might really have to say goodbye forever." I think we still have to return to Songmaozi, after all, Lao Yu is still there, although he took refuge with the Japanese back then, but now he is also in dire straits, he took the risk to accompany us into the mountains, it is also interesting enough, we can't leave him alone. Besides, these people you rescued can't stay in the Chiya River for a long time, once they are discovered, I am afraid that they will not only provoke the bandits, but also alarm the Japanese, and the people near Harbaling will suffer. My opinion is that we should rush to Songmaozi immediately, although these brothers of yours have no combat effectiveness, but they are also reserve forces, this Songmaozi Goryeo Mountain City is the best place to hide, train them here, isn't it also a valuable armed force? ”

"Yun Tong has a point. In a while, we will go to Songmaozi, and let this Brother Zheng bring those brothers of yours to Songmaozizi as well. That not only protected the Lao Zheng family who helped us, but also saved these people from being brutalized by bandits again. Nalan said.

"Okay, let's get started when it's dark."

At this time, Lao Zheng Tou brought in the rice porridge in a clay pot, and several people picked up the black porcelain bowl and ate the porridge, and the feeling of hunger was swept away.

He Wenhua said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Lu Li's kung fu is really extraordinary!" ”

"What do you say? Brothers? He's got to call us uncle! Our niece Song Mian has taken a fancy to someone! Hehe-hehe-" Yan Zimo said with a grin as he sorted out his clothes.

When Luo Shuangchen heard this, his face was slightly red, "Uncle He, don't make fun of me with Uncle Yan." ”

Lu Shikun was a little unhappy when he saw Luo Shuangchen, "You guys, it's always big or small, Hansheng is tired these days, and he really came out to save us, you have to know how to be grateful." Hansheng, I see you're a little unhappy, what's wrong? ”

"yes, I feel like you have something on your mind!" Nalan also said.

"President Lu, third brother, just before I came to Harbaling. I got the news that Wei Changfeng and Uncle Chang Shun were recuperating at Dr. Zhu Yunpeng's house, and they were robbed, they were seriously injured, and now their lives and deaths are uncertain, and my two little brothers have been killed. ”

"Who? Who was killed? Nalan asked eagerly.

"'Xingtan Peter Pan' Jin Mingcheng and 'Life-chasing Taibao' Qin Wufu......" Luo Shuangchen said sadly, "Third brother, I didn't take good care of them, I'm sorry ......"

"Oh, poor two miserable children. It's not your fault, our enemies, our enemies in the shadows are ferocious, and sooner or later I want them to redouble their revenge for this hatred! Nalan burst into tears.

"Fu Nian, don't be sad, the more sad you are, the more sad Hansheng's heart will be. We will not forget this hatred and this blood. Lu Shikun was very distressed by Luo Shuangchen.

At this time, the sky darkened, the quiet mountains and forests, the moon was like water, and the breeze was light.

Just as Lu Shikun and the others were about to leave, Yan Zimo, who had come back from his hand, stared at him with big eyes, blew his beard and whispered, "It seems that someone is coming towards us." ”

Everyone squatted down in the shack, and Lao Zheng Tou whispered: "I know almost all the people who often walk around in this mountain, you wait, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Luo Shuangchen waved his hand, "Let's take a look first." ”

After a while, I heard a loud voice from far and near, "Fuck, this 'golden fox'...... Who is he? Why should we let him be cannon fodder? "It's a sissy.

"That's it, I said Brother Hanako. As long as the two of us have one heart, he will have to make room for us sooner or later. I'm telling you, let's just wait and see what happens, and when that 'Cloud Dragon' cleans him up, or someone from Xinjingweiwuyao (the official mansion) comes to clean him up, we can get together and dominate Harbaling!" This voice sounded very familiar to Nalan and Lu Shikun.

"Big brother, let's drink this wine happily, 'flutter on the shoulder', you go and see if there is anyone living there? If there is no one, we will go in and pour it for a while, and this wine is a little too much. The taste of 'September Red' is really memorable! Brother, your 'Langyan' seems to be a little unhappy, isn't he 'full'? Yes? - Haha - " The sissy speaks in a high tone.

"Come less, you, this is to accompany you, I'm still a little unsure of my 'dead ghost' work, if he messes up, I'll give up all my efforts. Besides, my Goryeo City is still under the control of that surnamed Yu, and I don't think this old guy is an ordinary person, and it is unfathomable, which is why I don't dare to let you attack the mountain rashly. You said...... Brother, how can I not be familiar with the grass and trees in this Goryeo City? The house is occupied, and it doesn't feel good in my heart......"

"Boss Cao, don't worry about this, as long as he is a 'dead ghost' and does not turn against the water, the two of us are together, we are not afraid of him What is the 'dragon in the clouds', how many years have we been in this Harba Ridge, no matter how capable he is, we still have an advantage? We're here with our eyes closed, and they're just bears blind into the gutter, ahaha-"

Hearing this, Lu Shikun was furious, and was about to rush out, but Lao Zheng Tou waved his hand to stop, "How many people will I go to see first?" These two are all scoundrels, one listens to the sound of Cao Da Pole of the pine hair, and the other is the mountain flower lady of the badger's nest, listen to my hints. ”

"Who? Late in the middle of the night? Even this grinding table doesn't let people sleep? Old Zheng stretched his waist, yawned, and walked out of the shack.

"Oh, that's not ...... No...... Old Zheng Tou? The sissy mountain flower lady exclaimed.

"Huh?! …… Hehe, it's the big boss, it's dark like this, what are you busy with? Why are there only five of you? Hungry or not? How many people can I make something to eat? ”

"That's not necessary, don't you know this loose hairy Cao Da master?"

"Huh? Haha, I can't see clearly when it's dark, what? Are you two checking sentry or going out? ”

"I ...... Let me tell you, it's me and Brother Cao today...... Let's go to Wang Qing to drink flower wine, I'm refreshed, I'm tired, I'll rest with you for a while. "The sissy seems to be very familiar with Lao Zheng Tou.

While he was talking, Lu Shikun flashed out and shouted, "Boss Cao! Who do you think I am? ”
