Although I am short, I also like to look down on others. - Taugish

The dwarf squinted his eyes, the weather was so cold that he wanted to make people doze off, he muttered to himself in a low voice: "One hundred gold coins, with such a large sum of money, go find a place and live a quiet life, and you don't have to keep wandering around every day in the name of the ronin, seeking food!" ”

During this time, the life of the ronin is becoming more and more difficult, not only that, but mentally he has to abide by the cumbersome rule of "begging without abandoning dignity", and he can't keep a single gold coin in his pocket all year round.

The dwarf has long had the intention of quitting, after all, as he gets older, blindly begging is definitely not a good result. He informed Onasha and Roche, who were fellow ronins, of his idea, and received their support, so the three began a two-year plan to save money, but they still have no income.

Onasha didn't know if she heard it or not, and after glancing at him, she continued to add wooden strips to the kiln. After burning a piece of wood, she said, "Why hasn't Roche come back yet, aren't you together?" ”

"Sentry, it is rumored that a wandering ghost has appeared. If you want me to say that he is a fool, what age and where will there be such a thing. I didn't believe him, so I left him and came back first. The dwarf trembled violently, and he leaned against the edge of the earthen kiln, "I can't stand it, bring me a bowl first, I want to warm my body." The woman handed him a bowl of hot soup, and the dwarf took a sip, and suddenly his body fluttered slightly, "After this order, our plan can be fulfilled." The thought of being able to leave the breathtaking Andes makes my mind excited! ”

Osana didn't think the plan was so easy, she said: "Think beautifully, let you find a way to make money, who would have thought that you would take over such a dangerous commission as Jin Dashui from the tavern, just with the three of us, where can we find a living wild man in Ganshan?" If there is any accident, I don't find the wild man by then, but I will pay myself in! ”

The dwarf took the last sip and said to her, "One hundred gold coins!" Where are we going to find so much money! With that stupid fat man's money, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a living? Gather early, leave early, take off the ronin hat early, this year, we are almost all running the southern Andes, in the end we can only fill our stomachs, why bother? Going to Beixiazhou to make money is at least more nourishing than here. ”

Onasha doesn't want to deal with him, this dwarf just likes money, so Bei Xia Zhou is really suitable for him.

As soon as the dwarf finished speaking, a long-faced man with a beard suddenly appeared from behind the wall, and slammed it on his face, which really frightened the dwarf, and he scolded: "Damn Roche, are you going to scare me to death?" ”

"Why did you come back?" Onasha saw that Long Face was not holding a tripe dish in his hand, but she was a little dissatisfied, "What about food?" ”

"Don't mention the food yet, I have an important thing to tell you!" The long face looked left and right, and after making sure that he was not being followed, he kept a straight face and looked serious, "I found that something is wrong with this land, there are really people!" I can see it clearly! ”

The dwarf laughed, not taking the long-faced words seriously at all: "Come on, I've seen a hungry belly, but I haven't seen a hungry brain!" ”

Ona glanced at the dwarf and asked, "Is it a wild man?" If so, we will save the trouble of Ganshan! When the dwarf heard that he didn't need to go into Ganshan, he raised his spirits and was very interested, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

The long-faced man shook his head, and he described the general appearance of the person he had just seen on the mound: "He is a man, wearing a delicate tuxedo, carrying a white plastic bag in his right hand and a pink box in his left hand. I found it when I was crouching on the ground collecting tripe vegetables, and the man seemed to notice the presence of the three of us, and I felt that it was the 'ghost' of the forbidden land. I've heard a lot of rumors before, saying that the forbidden land is not simple, and there are often ghosts haunting, maybe we are already being watched at this moment! But I also don't believe in evil, so I followed with my brain, trying to find out whether it was a ghost or someone doing it, but after a while, I saw that the person ran away in the direction where Gan Yuan was in the east! It's fast, I can't keep up! ”

The words of the long face were like a terrible story, and the dwarf shook his body and said, "How can there be people in this deserted forbidden land?" You must have read it wrong! Not to mention that the ghost is also going to have a birthday party? Talk about it! ”

Onasha said calmly, "Not necessarily! She turned her head to look at the graffiti on the wall, the colorful handwriting was written with the words "Get out of the Andes" and "Scourge the world madman", thinking of the horrific past of this forbidden land beneath her feet, she thought that maybe there were still people living here, and they were definitely not ordinary people! "You must have heard a lot of rumors about the forbidden land! If you get too close to the interior of the forbidden land, that is, the other side near Gan Yuan, people will disappear inexplicably, and there will be no return! I've always thought it was a strange beast, but I missed another possibility! ”

The dwarf swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Roche and Onasha nodded in unison, and the two said in unison, "It seems that there are still people in this forbidden land!" ”

When the dwarf heard this, he really didn't dare to rest any longer, so he straightened his waist without saying a word, patted his cheek, and tried to keep himself awake. In this way, he remembered the previous incident about the mysterious disappearance of the ronin, and it happened that Onasha said this next: "Remember the ronin who disappeared in the forbidden land before? ”

Luo Che nodded, he had a friend who had come to the forbidden land in a group, a group of five people, and in the end only two went back alive, the person who survived was in a trance, and he was sure that it was a strange beast, he had always been skeptical, until he saw the strange man, he felt that something was wrong, it was not simple, and he thought of another terrifying possibility in his heart.

The sound of the wind was like the mourning of the dead soul, the dwarf trembled, he was especially afraid of demons and monsters, and he couldn't stop being nervous: "Isn't it the beast who did it?" After all, to the north is Ganshan! ”

"I don't rule it out, but there is a second possibility in front of me. If you can investigate it clearly, maybe you can go back and ask for credit! My eyes can't be mistaken, even if the visibility is so low! Roche's vision in both eyes is more than twice as good as the average person's, and with the orange telescope hanging from his neck, he can see clearly within a kilometer," so...... Shall we check it out? ”

The dwarf shook his head when he saw Onasha, and he shook his head himself, he said: "The forbidden land is a place that brings curse to the world, and the people who can live here are not normal people, besides, we are going to Ganshan to find clues to the existence of wild people, can we not ......"

He was halfway through his words, but he stopped, stunned in place, thoughtful, and after an interval of ten seconds, he had an idea and showed a strange smile, "I have an idea, how about you listen to it?" ”

He whispered in their ears, and Roche and Onasha nodded as they listened, as if they felt that there was some truth in his argument.

"That's a good idea!" Onasha lifted the lid of the pot and served a bowl of vegetable soup to Long Face, and the dwarf had a point, if he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, the situation would be more troublesome. "But I reserve my opinion, after all, the rumors are true, maybe the 'tuxedo' is more dangerous than the wolf! Maybe it's a madman, but if the situation is not good, we'll run immediately! ”

The dwarf stretched out his hand to ask for a bowl: "If you are lucky, you don't need to enter Ganshan, you can complete Jin Dashui's commission!" Anyway, entering Ganshan is also a life of death, so it is better to try your luck. If it's really dangerous, with me, there is no problem in escaping. At that time, it will be just right to go north, and it will not be far from the destination anyway! You can advance or retreat, you can do it! ”

He took a stick of wood from the ground and drew a rough topographical map. To the east is an insulated canyon hundreds of meters deep, to the west is Ganyuan, where deep-sea beasts are hidden, to the north is Ganshan, where ambush beasts stretch endlessly, and to the south is a turbulent Ganyuan tributary. As for their feet, there is a "forbidden place" labeled dangerous by the Andes.

The route of their operation this time was to go northwest through the suspension bridge of the insulated canyon, where there was a rocky area suitable as a station, which was chosen as the entrance to Ganshan, first, to hide their figures with the help of boulders, and secondly, there was no water source around, and there were few strange beasts, which could effectively avoid being ambushed. He continued: "Where did the tuxedo go? ”

Roche drew a dot on the ground, very close to Gan Yuan.

The dwarf took a breath of cold air, and to be honest, few people would go deep into the heart of the ruins. But because of this, it is very likely that someone exists. The three of them were silent for a while, and drank the vegetable soup in the iron pot to the bottom. The fire in the kiln was extinguished with a handful of earth, the wind on the slope did not decrease but increased, and it was dark as if a disaster was about to befall the land.

The long face walked in the front, Onasha walked in the middle, and the short man was behind, and every step of the three of them was extremely difficult. He wore orange binoculars and kept an eye out for the strange beasts and tuxedos lurking in the darkness. The three of them did not communicate along the way, and walked for about two and a half minutes, simply taking advantage of the bad weather as a cover, until they crossed dozens of dirt slopes without being threatened by any strange beasts.

About a kilometer in the distance, Long Face saw the blurred outlines of the two houses that were raised, he turned around, stretched out his hand to signal the two to stop, and pointed behind him with a thumb up in his right hand, and said, "Look, it's right ahead!" ”

The dwarf and Onasha were far inferior to him, their eyes were dark, and they couldn't see anything, and suddenly the expressions on their faces froze, their faces turned blue, their pupils dilated, their jaws relaxed, and their mouths opened, as if they had seen death.

Long Face took off his glasses, wanting to ask what was going on, but when he saw the dwarf's finger pointing behind his back, he turned around and saw a beam of blue light shooting directly into the sky from the direction where the room was, like a jade pillar standing up to the sky.
