Chapter 457: Tempting Each Other
Since she had a bad guess about Lao Gu's identity, Xia Yanru no longer followed the whole process as before, and every once in a while, she would quietly use her ability to detect.
Xia Yanru was secretly glad that she had an ancient map in her hand, although it was not so detailed, and most of them were translated from consulting ancient books and wild histories later, but fortunately, there were some references, at least it could be determined whether there was a problem with the route of the old ancient belt.
After walking in the mountains for nearly two days in a row, Xia Yanru secretly observed that the general direction was correct, but whether the specific route was right or wrong, she couldn't be sure for the time being.
After another half a day's journey, Lao Gu chose a place as a temporary camp, and there happened to be a natural mountain spring mouth not far away, and the water source problem could be directly solved.
The fire has been done very skillfully, and the group has methodically led their respective tasks and began to get busy, responsible for fetching water, hunting, and collecting firewood, in short, none of them are idle.
There are few female comrades in the team, and the big guys who originally cooked were looking forward to the four female comrades, but it was a coincidence that among the four people, only Lin Jiajia knew a little about cooking, and the rest of the people were very average in cooking, and they were not even as good as a few little soldiers under Qian Zhan.
Lin Jiajia actually refused to cook in her heart, but before she could follow the others and say that she wouldn't, she was praised by Jiang Cheng and leaked the secret.
Seeing the other three people sitting on the side leisurely waiting for the meal, Lin Jiajia couldn't help but grit her back molars and curse in her heart several times, but she was unhappy, she also understood in the past few days, it seems that the main leader of this team is Professor Hu, but in fact it is not.
She didn't know Ji Wenlin's identity, but she had deliberately observed in the past few days, whether it was Captain Qian or several other team members, they were all faintly dominated by him, and Ji Wenlin was dominated by Xia Yanru in everything, that is to say, there were two in the center of the entire team, one was Professor Hu and the other was Xia Yanru.
Lin Jiajia was not convinced by the conclusion she came up with, but it was true, even if she reminded Professor Hu halfway, Professor Hu didn't understand her intentions at all, and she had no choice but to give up after a few times.
What Lin Jiajia didn't know was that her small actions were actually watched by others, but she knew that she couldn't make any waves, so no one cared about it.
Lunch as always, wild vegetable soup and roasted game, although it has been eaten like this since entering the mountain, but no one will get tired of it, this year has been secretly happy to have such food, not to mention, if it is not for this mission to come here, it is estimated that it is difficult to eat these usually.
At this time, they don't know yet, and after a while, the place they are going to go, let alone game, it is difficult to find wild vegetables. Of course, those who know about this will not spoil such a good atmosphere with this mouth at this time.
"I knew that we could eat meat and drink vegetable soup every day, so we didn't need to prepare so many supplies, and we were tired all the way." After eating and drinking, some people thought of those heavy compressed biscuits and other food supplies, not because they were disgusted, but because they felt that in this environment, they were not needed at all.
"Young." Yu Feng smashed his mouth, and there was still some aftertaste of the roasted mountain chicken leg just now, but unfortunately there were too many of them, and the chicken leg was not enough at all, and his one was given to him by Tu Hongxing.
"What? Am I not right? "The one who lamented that he had a lot of materials was also one of the members of the escort team, about the same age as Tu Hongxing, a little younger than Yu Feng, named Li Gan, and he was a guy who loved to laugh.
"We really don't need those materials now, but it's hard to say in the future, who knows if we will stay in this deep mountain and old forest all the time, in case we encounter a stone mountain behind us, and if there is nothing, we can't rely on these materials to survive?" Yu Feng actually didn't know the back line at this time, he thought it was purely his own blind guess.
But he didn't know that his guess was actually not far from the truth, especially after Tang Yulou next to him heard it, he couldn't help but be a little impressed by him.
After listening to Yu Feng's gossip with his comrades for a while, Tang Yulou got up and patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, the light in his eyes flashed, and he instantly returned to calm, with a mellow appearance.
"Brother Gu, I'm not in a hurry to leave just after eating, let's talk for a while?" Tang Yulou came to Lao Gu's side and sat down, his tone was casual and natural, it seemed that he was really just chatting with Lao Gu to pass the time.
Lao Gu just cast a look at Tang Yulou indifferently, and then turned his head back to stare at the dense forest in front of him, as if he could see something from there.
didn't get a response from Lao Gu, Tang Yulou didn't care, he knew that this guide didn't like to talk, but this didn't affect his idea of wanting to talk to the other party.
"I see brother, you are quite familiar with this mountain forest, and you have not been into the mountains in the past, right?" Tang Yulou then spoke.
"It's just hunting for a living." Lao Gu did not remain silent this time, and rarely responded to Tang Yulou's question.
Tang Yulou smiled, "My brother has a good ability, this hinterland can come and go freely, I think every time I enter the mountain, I will gain a lot, right?" ”
Obviously, this question did not arouse Lao Gu's desire to answer, and he silently took a puff of dry tobacco and returned to the style of silence is golden.
"Brother Gu, are there many outsiders here on weekdays?" Tang Yulou continued to ask indifferently.
"It's in the middle of nowhere, who's going to come here but you?" Lao Gu asked rhetorically, doesn't this mean that except for Tang Yulou and his party, it is impossible for others to come to this place.
Tang Yulou had a smile on his face, but the look in his eyes became more and more serious, "Really? I've heard that there are often grave robbers in this place, so doesn't anyone go to the village to inquire about the way? ”
"You said it was a tomb robber, you really have that bad intention, how dare you enter the village?" Coldly abandoning this rhetorical question, Lao Gu got up and left with a dry tobacco stick, and unilaterally ended this small talk.
Looking at the back of Lao Gu leaving, the smile on Tang Yulou's face gradually converged, the small talk just now was just to test it, and it was obvious that the other party was cautious, and it was not that he didn't show any horses.
Regarding the matter of whether anyone entered the village to ask for directions, it was obvious that Lao Gu didn't tell the truth, thinking of what Xia Yanru had told him about the 'elixir' that had slipped through the net, maybe these people had already come before them.
I didn't rush to talk to Xia Yanru immediately, Tang Yulou was also afraid of startling the snake, no matter what the problem was with this old Gu, it would definitely not be wrong to be a little guarded, through the conversation just now, he had already raised 12 points of caution about this person.
