Chapter 19: The Magical Mountain
"Grandpa Delin, you should have a few of us go with you. β
"No, your current work is very important, you must always be vigilant, beware of the demonic beasts that will take advantage of the withering of the beast repellent grass to sneak attack the village, you must not be careless, and you must take care of yourself, I don't want to hear that anyone is injured when I come back, you know? β
"But you shouldn't trust people of unknown origin, especially this oneβyou can't rely on them. Pipon's words were very explicit and harsh.
Chao frowned, don't look over and pretend to say goodbye to Shang Xi.
"Pipun!" Old Delin's face was serious, "Chao is now a member of our Dashan Village, I trust him as much as I trust you, and you are not allowed to say this again in the future." β
β...... Be. Pippen replied, but his gaze was still suspicious. "Please be careful along the way. β
When the mining team went out of the valley, the black skin and the flower monkey suddenly jumped out on the way, and the two also wanted to go together, but Lao Delin disagreed, saying that the mining team and the escort team should now go all out to mine, and the two of them don't want to be lazy, but the two of them are holding on to the tail of the dragon.
The two bachelors have good reason, Cloud City has the most beautiful girls in Dongzhou, and there are their dreams.
Old Delin really didn't know what reason to refuse them, his dream when he was young was to marry a girl from Cloud City, not to mention that he could guess that the real reason why the two of them came must be that Shang De was not worried about Lao Delin transporting ore alone, worried about danger on the road. Whatever the reason, in the end, Old Delin had to tolerate two nagging guys on the road together.
You can't sprinkle animal repellent powder along the way, but even if it's the way out of the mountain, the danger of the monster can't be ignored.
Old Delin sat on Sasha's back and walked in front. Chao sat on the back of the fat mound and walked in the middle, and the two of them sat on the back of the little man and walked at the end. The two of them muttered along the way, and kept making a cheap smile similar to the cry of a demonic beast in spring. Old Delin was afraid that their laughter would attract the monsters, and kept telling them to shut up, which made Chao very happy, and he couldn't stop laughing all the way.
The mining team walked on the rugged road in the mountains, saying that it was a road but it was actually not like a road, but there were more people walking, less vegetation, and a little farther away from the monsters, but this was already a miracle passage from the mountains to the outside world.
The trees on both sides of the mountain road are luxuriant, and they sit high on the back of the earth dragon, constantly dialing the oncoming branches.
The journey along the way was very smooth, the wind and waves were calm, and the carnivorous demonic beasts would also be discouraged after seeing the three-headed earth dragon, which saved the mine transport team a lot of trouble.
Flower Monkey, Black Skin, and Asa huddle together, and the two keep introducing Asa to the scenery and dangers along the way.
"Do you see that tree? Isn't it the one with branches that look like vines and are full of bright red flowers?"
"Hmm. β
The slender stalks are covered with long green branches, windless and automatic, swaying in the air, like the girl's long flowing hair, the green branches are full of delicate little red flowers, swaying fragrance in the air, the green trees and red flowers are independent in the jungle, graceful and colorful, like a jungle girl, dancing and dancing.
"I call it a beautiful kiss. The flower monkey smiled and winked at Chao.
"Cut, it's also called a beautiful kiss, I think it's right to call a wicked woman a strong kiss. "The black skin was lying on the back of the earth dragon against the red iron ore package, and a wine bag sewn from animal skin never left his hand.
"What do you mean?"
"You watch. "The flower monkey was taken by surprise and suddenly snatched the wine bag from the black skin's hand and threw it at the 'beautiful kiss'.
Suddenly, the branches floating in the air came to life, and more than a dozen branches suddenly hugged the wine sac firmly and wrapped it tightly.
Then, the little saffron on the branches was all pasted with the wine bag, the saffron was like lips, and the enthusiasm was like fire, and he really regarded the wine bag as a lover. This...... There is indeed a feeling of a very beautiful kiss pounding heartbeat, and it seems that this name is very apt.
But the next scene was so frightened that goosebumps broke out all over my body.
The twigs and the little red flower are like offended maidens, and suddenly they throw away the wine sac. The animal skin sac that fell from the sky immediately turned into a leaky net, and streams of water shot out in all directions. The branches in the sky shrank suddenly, away from the squirting of wine.
"See, this beauty's kiss is beautiful, but I can't afford it. If you are unfortunate enough to be kissed by a beauty, it is likely that there will not be even a bone left in the end, of course, there is a drunkard by your side for this little purpose, and the beauty hates alcoholics. The flower monkey patted Chao's shoulder, looking tireless, but he didn't notice the black skin on the side, whose face was getting darker and darker.
"Little white face, give me back my drunken life!"
The two scuffled together minute by minute.
The mining team walked out of Xu Yuan, and looked back at the 'Kiss of Beauty', which was soft and soft, but it implied a killing intent like a poisonous scorpion, which made people feel cold.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of rushing water in my ears, listening to the sound of flowing water, there should be a big river or a waterfall not far away, and Chao Wei felt a little thirsty.
"Do you want to drink water? There seems to be a river over there. β
The two who were still scuffling suddenly quieted down, their faces were ugly, whiter and blacker.
"No, even if you die of thirst...... And never go there to drink water. β
For the first time, the two looked at Chao in unison.
"Why is that?" Chao asked, puzzled. The two of them usually giggle and laugh and rarely get serious, but at this moment, they are so serious, it doesn't seem like they're joking with themselves.
"No, don't go there to drink water. The two walked away with gloomy faces, and returned to Coo's back, silent, as the caravan suddenly became quiet.
At night, Lao Delin let the three mountain-like earth dragons lie down on three sides, forming a large barrier, and Lao Delin lit a bonfire with flint and made a simple dinner, sweet potato porridge with pumpkin pie, which was the only food for the mining team. The four were speechless.
After dinner, the flower monkey lay on the back of Coo, not knowing whether to sleep or look at the stars in the sky. Out of nowhere, Blackskin got another wine bag, sat in a dark corner, and drank alone.
is accustomed to the two of them laughing and laughing along the way, and feels that the abnormal behavior of the two makes the night seem particularly cold.
"What's wrong with them? Is it something to do with the river?"
Old Delin sat beside the campfire and smoked a dry cigarette, and exhaled a long white mist, and with the white mist exhaled a soft sigh. "It's not a river, it's a fountain. β
Old Delin glanced at the two in the dark, turned around, and took another puff of cigarette, "Some things can't be forgotten if you want to." β
Old Delin paused for a long time, and waited quietly for the following.
"It was many years ago, there were three talented teenagers in Dashan Village, they longed for the world outside the mountain, and they made an appointment to go out of the mountain to see it, so despite the dissuasion of their families, the three of them secretly left the village......
The three of them are best friends when they are young, and they cooperate tacitly, no matter what Warcraft they encounter, they can deal with it, and there is no danger along the way.
At that time, it was the hot summer, the mountain road was very hot, the three of them walked all night and one morning, thirsty, the three of them did not bring water only a bag of wine, but the wine did not quench their thirst, the more they drank, the drier it became, and finally the thirst was unbearable, the eldest of the three said, "I seem to hear the sound of water, you wait here, I will go find some water." With that, he went.
Among the three, the eldest teenager has the most experience and the strongest strength, usually he takes care of the other two, and he pays attention to solving the difficulties encountered along the way, and the other two are very convinced of him and obey him. He said he was looking for water, and the two of them sat down and waited in peace.
However, as soon as he left, the other two ran into trouble, they were entangled in a tree full of red flowers, and the seemingly beautiful red flowers were full of danger...... The flower monkey called him the kiss of the beauty, hum, this beauty almost killed the two of them...... There is a stinger in the safflower, and it is a hidden knife in the kiss. Pasted by the saffron, the stinging pain and paralysis were dense all over the body, and the two of them lost consciousness in a moment, if it weren't for the two of them with wine bags on their bodies, they escaped by luck, I'm afraid the two would have become flower fertilizer.
The two of them spread on the ground, the paralysis of the residual poison made them unable to move, and thanks to their good luck, few demonic beasts passed by them in the afternoon, but they were caught in the evening, and finally they were touched by a ground demon bear. The Earth Demon Bear, who was still wandering in the mountains the next night, must have been because he hadn't eaten enough, and it was over, they thought to themselves, and could only pray that the other boy could come back as soon as possible before the dinner when they turned into the Earth Demon Bear, but it had been a whole afternoon, and the other boy had never appeared.
The Earth Demon Bear was really hungry, and it rushed towards the two of them excitedly, and the two of them lay on the ground and pretended to be dead. The Earth Demon Bear sniffed around on the faces of the two, and the fishy breath exhaled was so foul that a teenager couldn't help but turn his head away. 'Ang~' The Earth Demon Bear didn't know if it was discovered or because it was unwilling, so it opened its mouth and bit it. Because of their paralysis, they couldn't escape, and they became fish and meat, "Brother, help!" They could only cry out in despair.
No response. Only the fangs of the Earth Demon Bear getting closer and closer.
