Chapter 1 Expeditions are Risky
"Awen, where is the Panlong Cottage you are talking about! Don't tell me you don't know?" On the winding path in the mountains, a team of eleven people is struggling to move forward. The members of the team who walked in the first kept asking Fan Xiwen, the captain who walked in the middle.
"Liu Ke, please be a little patient, okay? Arvindu is getting tired of you asking. As the eldest in the team, Zhou Jian finally couldn't stand Liu Ke's long-winded questioning, and began to prepare to go crazy. The rest of the members also began to echo, and Liu Ke had to keep his mouth shut.
To introduce, the average age of this squad is seventeen years old, the older one is nineteen years old, and the younger one is sixteen years old. It is just the time of puberty, and the Lord who has nowhere to vent his physical strength. No, it coincided with "May Day", so I went out to find the legendary treasure land without telling my parents, and I had the right to relax and have fun.
As Fan Xiwen, who came up with the idea, he successfully became the captain of the team. The eldest, Zhou Jian, manages everyone's lives as a vice-captain. Liu Ke, who was the most courageous, became the first person to open the way for the team, and Fan Fengming, who often practiced his fists and feet, as the deputy pioneer, cooperated with Liu Ke to remove all obstacles to progress, and Fan Fenglin, who was agile, was arranged as the receiver to respond in the middle. Li Lingsu, who is tall and the first person in the team, carries three days' food for the eleven members of the team, Li Andong, who is also as strong as an ox, also carries two days' food, and Wang Jiaxiong, the youngest, is burdened with the necessities of survival in the wild - a compass and a quarter of the team's fresh water. Lin Yun, Lin Feng, and Liu Kecheng also carried a quarter of the team's fresh water and tents respectively.
The team set out on May 1 and traveled on this trail for almost two days, but still failed to find the Panlong Cottage. "Brother Jian, there is a small flat in front, let the brothers rest and eat something, and set up camp and make plans tomorrow!" Fan Xiwen observed that it was getting late, and saw a small flat in front of him, so he said to the deputy captain Zhou Jian. "Alright! That's all there is to it. Zhou Jian also agreed with this decision. He then said in a loud voice to the members of the team, "All the brothers are encamped in front, and after dinner, they will decide the direction of tomorrow." Everyone said "yes" and walked quickly to the small flat.
The silence of the mountains at night was terrifying, but the dancing flames that could dispel the darkness gave the expedition team a sense of security. "Brothers, we have been on this trail for two days, but we have not been able to find the legendary Panlong Cottage. I advocate that tomorrow we climb over this mountain, with Japan and China as the boundary, and if we still can't find Panlong Cottage before Japan and China, I suggest returning. As the leader of the team, Fan Xiwen was the first to speak to break the silence in the darkness.
Then the vice captain Zhou Jian raised his hand to second.
Liu Ke also raised his hand to second

"Unanimous vote, then take a good rest and recharge for tomorrow! Tonight, I, Zhou Jian, and Fan Fenglin kept vigil. After Fan Xiwen finished speaking, he turned on the solar flashlight he carried with him and began to patrol the area around the camp.
The next day, the sun rose from the east in the east. The refreshed team continued their journey. Maybe it's because the trip is almost halfway there, or maybe it's something else, but the team members are in good spirits and full of energy.
However, in the middle of the day, the team had reached the top of the mountain, but they still saw "the vast green thousands of miles and the moon, and the mountains and the sun rising together." Fan Xiwen turned around without saying a word, and endured the bitterness and unwillingness in his heart. Liu Ke and the others followed, their eyes full of confusion and disappointment.
"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost'"""Fan Xiwen and his teammates completely integrated the unwillingness and disappointment into the song, but it showed a different kind of tragedy.
"No, no, not at all." Just when everyone was singing energetically, Liu Ke suddenly screamed loudly. The voice was filled with fear. Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Liu Ke's face first incredulous, and then frightened. Looking from the direction of Liu Ke's finger, everyone was terrified.
When I came, the path that had been carved out with a mountain opener had completely disappeared. What this means, no one knows. But what you know is that this is not the place it used to be, at least not the way it came from.
"Quick, search carefully, don't let those dog soldiers escape." Just then, a loud shout came. Immediately afterward, countless spears kept piercing the man-tall weeds. The crowd, who had already been out of fear, tacitly hid from the weeds. Liu Ke and Fan Fengming opened the mountain with knives in their hands, ready to fight at any time. Fan Xiwen and Zhou Jian also tightened the machetes on their bodies and prepared to fight.
"Alright, that's it, let's go over there!" With another shout, the footsteps of those searches shifted direction, which couldn't help but make Fan Xiwen and the others, who were already preparing to fight, breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, they are still children who have not experienced the world, and even if they have a sharp mountain knife in their hands, they can't hide the fear in their hearts. When I touched my vest, everyone found that it was sweat.
After half a ring, the voices were far away, and everyone slowly gasped for breath. "Okay, Fenglin, you are responsible for observing the surrounding environment, Liu Ke protects him, and the rest of the people wait in place." At this time, Fan Xiwen, as the captain, calmed down, and his unique leadership temperament began to come into play.
"Brother Jian, how much food do we have?" Zhou Jian quickly replied, "Ah Wen, we still have fresh water for only two days, and food is only for three days. ”
"Is that all?" Zhou Jian's answer made Fan Xiwen's brows furrow tightly. "Forget it, let's wait for Fenglin and them to come back!" Zhou Jian sighed and said helplessly. "Shh Fan Fengming, the other main "thug" of the squad who has always maintained absolute vigilance, made a gesture to everyone to show that someone was approaching. Suddenly, everyone prepared their weapons again.
A sound of "Xixi, shuddering" came, it was not Fenglin and Liu Ke who left before, nor the people who searched before, then there was only one possibility, they were the people who were searched. This could be heard in their hurried footsteps. The voices grew closer and closer, until the grass was peeled open, revealing two people dressed as ancient officers and soldiers. When the two officers and soldiers saw that there was a group of teenagers, their faces immediately filled with joy, and they were about to speak. Fan Xiwen took a step forward and said to the members of the team: "Brothers, take them." After speaking, the machete in his hand took the lead in slashing over, and then Fan Fengming and Zhou Jian's weapons also beckoned to the two officers and soldiers.
When the two officers and soldiers saw three bright weapons beckoning to them, their legs suddenly became weak. They knelt on the ground and begged Fan Xiwen for mercy. "It's okay if I want to spare you, but you have to answer my questions honestly." Fan Xiwen tied up these two officers and soldiers very domineeringly and began the journey of understanding the truth.
Fan Xiwen sat on a backpack and leaned on the ground with a knife, completely in the image of a little hooligan. Lin Feng on the side, Lin Yun also cooperated with Fan Xiwen's movements, kicked the legs of the two deserters with both legs, and they fell to the ground with an "ah".
Fan Xiwen cleared his throat, and then pretended to be majestic and said, "Who is your surname?" Where?. The eldest of the deserters said tremblingly: "Back to Gongzi's words, the little one's name is Wang Fan, this is a small fellow villager, called Wang Si, and we are people from Anping."
When Fan Xiwen heard this, he was stunned, should it be, a thought flashed. Just now, Fan Xiwen deliberately asked in ancient language. Who knows, the other party can understand, in this way, it can only be a situation! Fan Xiwen secretly suppressed what he thought in his heart, after all, this matter was too mysterious, and he decided to try again.
"Why are you here dressed as a soldier in this life? Could it be that you are deserters? As soon as Fan Xiwen spoke, Wang Fan and Wang Si's faces were not good-looking. Of course, Fan Xiwen guessed correctly, they were indeed deserters. But who wants others to know that they are deserters? After all, that's dishonorable. Fan Xiwen knew that he had guessed correctly, and he waited for the two deserters to say their last guess.
I saw that Wang Fan was gloomy for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Childe, if you don't escape, you will die, in the face of the boundless sea of people offensive in Taiping Road, any army will look pale and powerless, unless the forbidden army or the Xiliang army is a strong army in the world, otherwise, it will be in vain and lose your life." ”
Sure enough, the Three Kingdoms were in turmoil.
For a moment, a trace of joy crossed Fan Xiwen's mind, but then there was a burst of sadness. What to do with his family, it is undeniable that Fan Xiwen is a typical fan of the Three Kingdoms, but his feelings for his family are irreplaceable by anything.
Suddenly, Fan Xiwen stood up from his backpack and knelt straight down to the crowd lined up behind him, without waiting for everyone to react, and said loudly: "It's me who can't stand the brothers, it's me who hurt everyone!" ”
His words are equivalent to confirming everyone's speculation. They are all high school students, and high school students have naturally been exposed to history. Those who have been in contact with history know that the most famous peasant rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty - the Yellow Turban Uprising. In addition, when playing games or reading novels, they will always be exposed to something about the Three Kingdoms. They know what it's all about, and in a term that never gets left behind, it's called crossing. Coupled with Fan Xiwen's kneeling, it confirmed their conjecture that the Eastern Han Dynasty was in turmoil. Everyone couldn't help but be silent.
"Get up! We don't blame you, we came voluntarily in the first place, and this kind of thing can only be said to be providential, how can it be counted on your head? As the eldest brother, Zhou Jian took the lead in extending his hands to Fan Xiwen, hoping to pull him up. Immediately afterwards, Wang Jiaxiong, Li Andong, Li Lingsu, Fan Fenglin, Lin Feng, Lin Yun, and Liu Kecheng also put their hands on Fan Xiwen's arm. But Fan Xiwen refused to get up.
