Chapter 45: At the foot of the West Mountain in the middle of the night

After eating, a few people walked leisurely towards the mine. A miner hurried past the lamp Ke and headed straight for the cafeteria. Deng Ke glanced at him casually, but he didn't expect to see something fall out of the miner's body and land right at Deng Ke's feet. He hurriedly called the miner, but the miner was already in the cafeteria. He bent down to pick it up, and looked closely at the old bark, and then on closer inspection, there were several large characters engraved on the bark:

"In the middle of the night, at the foot of the West Mountain, take you away. Deng Ke's heart tightened, and his blood began to boil. At this time, Yasi came over, she looked at the lamp, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's just a piece of bark, the miner just dropped, I'll go and return it to him right away. With that, he waved his hand and ran towards the cafeteria. But he searched the cafeteria and couldn't find the man. He hid in a no-man's corner and took out the bark again to look at it again, only to find that there was nothing on the bark except a few rough textures. He flipped through it and looked at it several times, but there was still nothing. At this time, the field supervisor, Brother Bird and others walked into the cafeteria, and Deng Ke hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to flash out.

He walked back to the cave with the bark hanging down, and lay on the bed until late at night without closing his eyes. He repeatedly considered whether to go to the foot of the West Mountain, he was afraid that this was just his illusion, and he was afraid that it was a conspiracy made by Brother Bird. But the words "take you away" had a great attraction to him, and he wanted to find out what was going on, where was "taking you away" taking him? Is it going back to the land or somewhere else? Why did someone give him such a note? Is this note for him?

"Brother Dengke, why do you have so many concerns?" Tu Shen suddenly popped up in Deng Ke's head, Deng Ke blinked, if it was Tu Shen, what would he do? He imagined, could it be the note he asked someone to pass him on? He hadn't come to see me since the last time we separated, had he been waiting for this day?

Lamp Ke became restless, and he decided to take this risk, and go and see it anyway. But what time was the middle of the night? In the night of the depression, Deng Ke couldn't tell the time, and he felt that the sooner he left, the better. He sat up softly, got dressed, and groped his way out of the mine. He hid and ran to the west of the mountain, so as not to be discovered by the night watchmen. Finally came to the foot of the west mountain, he hid in the corner and watched secretly, but there was no one.

He began to hesitate in his heart: "At the foot of the western mountain, by the way, there are two feet of the mountain, one is north and the other is south. But which foot of the western mountain is mentioned on the bark? He stood at the foot of the hill and waited for a long time, but no one came. So, he climbed the mountain to see the other side, and as soon as he reached the top of the mountain, he was attracted by the snow-capped mountains that shimmered silver in the distance. It was the first time he had come to the mine at night, and he didn't know that there was such a bright and beautiful world on the other side of the dark mountain. The snow-capped mountains are like the sun that illuminates its surroundings and the entire sky, which is why the night in the depression is always a little bright. Deng Ke thought about looking down the mountain, and under the reflection of the snow-capped mountains, he could see a person waiting there in the distance. Deng Ke took a closer look at the man, it was not like Tushen, and he walked over a little nervously. As soon as the man saw him coming, he walked briskly and bowed deeply to the lamp.

"I knew you were coming. He said excitedly.

Deng Ke looked at the man in a daze, wasn't he the lowland man who was in charge of the transport team to make records?

"Why are you? Did you give me that bark note?" asked Lamp Ke in surprise.

"Yes, let's get to a safe place first. Im grabbed the lamp and dragged him to the bottom of the mountain.

"Wait...... You make it clear first!" Deng Ke wanted to break free of him, but his strength was very strong, no matter what Deng Ke did, he still pulled him forward vigorously. As they ran, a man rushed in front of them like the wind, blocking their way. This man was like a black knight in the dark night, from the helmet on his head to the cloak he wore to the boots on his feet. He held a chain in front of him, blocking the way of the two of them. "Who? why are you blocking my way?" asked Imu, pausing and pointing to the black knight.

A low, dull voice came from the helmet:

"Because you took him with you. After speaking, he threw the chain over, and before he could see it clearly, the chain was already wrapped around his body. The man then pulled hard, and with lightning speed, pulled the lamp to his side.

Dengke stayed there for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was going on. As soon as Imu saw that the lantern was swept away by the man in black, he immediately learned to call a bird, and the sound was crisp and pleasant, forming a beautiful echo among the surrounding mountains. Seeing this, the man in black picked up the lamp and ran up the mountain, and Imu followed closely behind. As he approached the top of the hill, the man in black stopped, for a human wall had appeared there. The man in black turned to look behind him, and Imu was approaching with a large group of men. The man in black had nowhere to go, but he seemed to be undaunted and calmly grasped the lamp Ke firmly in his arms. One of the people in the wall stood up, and the others spontaneously surrounded the man in black and pulled out their weapons.

"Put him down, and I can let you go. Said the man who came forward.

"Oh, you demons risked your lives to come just to get this child?" the man in black stood straight in the middle of the circle, his words full of doubt. When Deng Ke heard this, he realized that the person who was going to take him away was a demon again.

"It's up to you, anyway, please leave him behind, it's convenient. The man said.

"Hahahaha!" the man in black laughed. "Who do you think you are? Even without this child, I would let you go, and you dare to negotiate terms with me here?"

"Then you mean no. Looks like this is the only way to solve it!" said the man, and the man slammed his fist at the man in black, who dodged it, and then all the demons came at the man in black together. The man in black was a little flustered for a while, and he could only parry and could not fight back. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the man in black, Imu quickly pulled the lamp back, then turned around and ran. Seeing this, the man in black shouted,

"Don't go with them, they're demons. If you are pestered by them, you will never want to go back to land for the rest of your life. ”

Hearing what the man in black said, Deng Ke hurriedly stopped, he desperately tried to break away from Yimu, but Yimu refused to let go.

"Dengke, don't listen to his nonsense, the Lengshan people framed us, but in fact, we are the righteous party. Come with me, and I'll tell you everything when I get out of here. Im said as he pulled the lamp down the hill.

"Wait! You shameless demons want to force an ignorant child to join the gang, and you dare to say that you are righteous! Phew! This is clearly evil!" the man in black shouted at the lamp as he fended off the demon. Deng Ke stopped again, he agreed with the man in black's point of view, and couldn't help but have a little affection for the man in black.

"Good!" the man who stepped forward shouted, and all the demons stopped attacking. "Im, bring him here. He said to Im, who had no choice but to grab the lamp and return to the encirclement.
