Chen Che and Zhao Ru have been dependent on each other for three years, and the awakening of their lives is naturally confidential and cannot be passed on.

But how can they hide it when they go into the mountains late at night to hunt for treasure, and the two live under the same roof?

"Brother Che, can you not go into the mountain?" Zhao Ru was not happy and shocked, and said softly: "It's very dangerous at night, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

After suffering from being controlled by others, Chen Che refused to return to the Zhao Mansion, with a hint of resoluteness in his eyes: "I want to take you to restore your free body and take some risks, it's nothing." ”

Seeing Brother Che'er's resolute attitude.

Zhao Ru raised the corners of her mouth.

She was actually very happy in her heart, feeling that the man she liked had grown up all of a sudden, become mature, had the ability, and could win wealth and wealth.

This is, of course, something to be happy about.

But think about it.

She felt so strange again, Chen Che's body actually had an unknown and mysterious feeling out of thin air, which made her very uncomfortable.

Come to think of this.

Zhao Ru, who had taken care of Chen Che like a sister, was suddenly a little scared, with a trace of tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly:

"After entering the mountain, you must not be injured; If you are rich, you must marry me. ”

"Definitely."

Chen Che made a loud noise.

Zhao Ru thought for a while and said carefully: "I'll prepare something for you, just not afraid of miasma, but it's far from enough." ”

Not for a while.

Chen Che changed into a new outfit.

Wearing a light yellow cotton coat, a straw hat, a mountain axe, a firewood knife hanging from his waist, a mountaineering bamboo cane in his hand, and a densely woven mango shoes made by Zhao Ru on his feet.

Scarves, baskets, hemp ropes, mosquito repellent grass bags, in addition, there are four nest heads, a gourd of clear water, and a small spoonful of sugar sprinkled in it, which is enough to quickly replenish physical energy.

"Sister Ru'er......"

A warm current swelled in Chen Che's heart.

As a woman, Zhao Ru can't wait to hang all the things in the house on her man, and this set of things is worth no less than five hundred yuan.

"Be careful on the road and stay safe~"

Under Zhao Ru's reluctant gaze, Chen Che waved his hand, left his residence, bypassed a few streets and alleys, walked forward quickly, and came to the streets of Liuyang Town.

Desk-sized bluestone slabs are lined up one after another, paved into neat roads, supplemented by willow trees, separating the shops and restaurants on both sides.

Although Liuyang Town has the word "town" in its name, it has been built on the mountain in the process of exploring the mountains for hundreds of years, and has expanded rapidly, almost like a "mountain city".

It is divided into two cities, inner and outer cities, and four bluestone streets, such as a big "well" character, divide the mountain city into nine major urban areas.

The inner city was inhabited by officials, warriors, wealthy merchants, and soldiers.

The eight outer urban areas are dominated by hawkers, artisans, hunters and mountain people.

The "Ancient Tea Horse Market", where Zhaofu is located, is the most prosperous neighborhood in the outer city, with tea and horse officials, tea farmers, horse merchants, and mountain pickers...... Bustling, endless exchanges, occasionally you can see a few mountain barbarians, for the profit of three or five Wen, in the vague Shu dialect, quarreling with the traders.

Chen Che raised his eyes and looked around, and the night market was already lively.

There are many shops on the street, and a group of vendors and merchants have pulled their throats and made high-pitched selling sounds:

"Cooking cakes, big and fragrant samurai cooking cakes!"

"Tofu brain, smooth and tender tofu brain, salty and sweet!"

"Sugar-fried chestnuts, fragrant and sweet, but delicious, the guest officer will come to a pack?"

Chen Che's eyes swept away, and most of the customers sitting in the stalls carried hunting equipment, obviously a group of hunters who were richer than ordinary mountain people.

Also, where can the average mountain dweller afford to eat supper?

"Goo~"

Seeing the happy appearance of the hunters eating and drinking, Chen Che unconsciously swallowed his saliva and dug into his pocket, wanting to taste the many delicacies in the night market.

Pity.

A penny is hard to beat a hero!

In his pocket, there are only a few nests.

"Shame on you......"

"A dignified shepherd, but someone took the sheep by the hand?"

Chen Che gritted his gums, with three points of anger in his heart, when he was knocked unconscious and tied to the mountain temple, the little money and silver on his body were naturally touched by Jiang Quan......

He walked briskly to the west side of Liuyang Town, looking at Xiangu Mountain in the distance, as well as the mountains of the Southern Wilderness that seemed to be boundless and endless:

"If you want to make money, you have to go into the mountains!"

There is a fork in the road.

Go to the left, it is the road back to Banqiao Township;

Go to the right, you go to the Great General Temple, pass the temple, and then climb the fairy Gu Jian, and you will officially enter the range of the mountains of the Southern Wilderness.

"Although there are still a few distant relatives in the township who have taken care of me, as a fugitive slave, if I return to my hometown rashly, I will be interrogated."

Chen Che turned his heart sideways, bamboo canes and shoes, and ran towards the right front, about more than 100 zhang high Xiangu Mountain.

He carried a bamboo basket on his back, stepped on fallen leaves, and went up the stone steps to the Great General Temple halfway up the mountainside.

Souyama.

Treasure hunting.

I'm going to make a fortune tonight!

…………

It is said that if you walk too much at night, you may see ghosts, but for Chen Che, who is a modern person, walking in the green mountains and autumn nights,

Look up,

But it is not polluted by modern light, and the bright starry sky.

A hanging Milky Way spans from northwest to southeast, like a starry torrent, pouring hundreds of millions of miles.

"It's beautiful."

Chen Che sighed in his heart, carrying a firewood knife, walking up the stone steps step by step, and finally came to the Great General Temple.

In front of the mountain temple, there is a turtle stele, hundreds of words on it, all of which tell the deeds of the former mountain capital to respect the marquis king touching the dragon.

Legend has it that this person has great ambitions and wants to lead 8,000 elite soldiers to open up the mountains of the Southern Wilderness and open up new fields for all the people, but he was jealous of each other, and issued thirteen holy decrees in a row, ordering his class to return to the court.

The soldiers of the barbarian army were unwilling to give up the "three thousand miles of rivers and mountains" at their fingertips, and forcibly fought a decisive battle with the Nanban, and finally suffered a tragic loss of food and food, and the whole army died in Xiangu Mountain.

Even the corpse of the general himself is nowhere to be found.

The mountain people mourned, and after the death of the adulterer, they spontaneously built a temple to worship.

In the previous dynasties, all those who ventured into the mountains of the southern wilderness all worshiped and worshipped incense.

It's just that when the dynasty was changed, the temple blessing of that generation had a bad vision, mistakenly voted for the grass head king, bad luck, and has declined since then.

Dajing was founded nearly 100 years ago, and today's people have long forgotten the old things of respecting the marquis of Shandu.

"The barbarian general, Wang Touchlong ......"

Chen Che walked into the temple, but saw that the statue of the god fell to ashes, the incense burner was toppled, and even the curtain was torn off by someone, looking bleak.

"Pioneers should be respected!"

Whether it is in the past or present life, Chen Che greatly admires those heroes who have expanded their territory in history, such as Huo Quzhi, Ma Yuan, Ban Chao, etc.

In his opinion, only by forging ahead, continuing to expand externally, and obtaining more resources and wealth, can the ceiling of civilization be raised!

Chen Che first straightened the incense burner, then searched for a while on the desk, and was lucky to find a few incense sticks that had not yet rotted.

He lit it with a flint, offered three sticks of incense, and said sincerely:

"Junior Chen Che passed by here to meet the general."

After speaking.

Chen Che turned around and strode out of the temple gate, not noticing the change behind him, the incense stick lit up clouds and smoke, and floated diagonally towards the statue.

Airplanes!

The eyes of the god statue quietly flashed a faint white light.

"It's so white."

Chen Che carried the basket and carried the knife, walked three or four miles of mountain roads, and finally climbed to the tip of the fairy girl.

In fact, it is a pure white boulder located on the top of the mountain, with a sharp top and a round bottom, about the size of a bungalow, hence the name:

"Fairy Gu Tip."

It seems that it is precisely because of this huge rock that the miasma in the mountains and forests is isolated in the mountains of the Southern Wilderness, and it is difficult to spread further to Liuyang Town.

This mountain is also revered by the mountain people as "Xiangu Mountain".

Walking down the mountain, passing through a long and gentle slope dense forest called the "Tiger Forest", you will officially enter the interior of the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

Last night, the mountain temple where Chen Che almost died, was hidden in the depths of the Tiger Forest.

The way down the mountain.

There were no stone steps.

There are only a few people stepping on the sheep intestine path.

From this point of view, in fact, there is no road in the mountain, and when there are many people walking, it stretches into one slender mountain road after another.

Of course, this is also a warning!

Once it passed the Immortal Gu Peak, it was officially out of the scope of Liuyang Town.

The concentration of miasma at night has increased greatly, and only the beasts and Nanban, who have been "naturally selected" for generations, can barely survive.

Ordinary mountain people, five or six generations of ancestors, most of them landless peasants who moved from the plains, did not have the bloodline to resist the miasma.

"Hoo ......"

Chen Che let out a sullen breath, beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, and sat down next to the tip of the fairy girl to rest for a while, silently thinking about the next route of exploration.

There is a clear stream at the bottom of the mountain, called Xianniang Creek, which is a good place to replenish fresh water, and there are often hunters who set traps in the place and spread their nets to catch animals.

This large tiger forest between Xiangujian and Xianniang Creek is the only way for the mountain people of Liuyang Town to go deep into the mountains of the Southern Wilderness, and I don't know how many times it has been swept away by hunters and medicine pickers.

Not to mention herbs, wild treasures in the mountains, and even hares are extremely rare.

If you want to get particularly valuable mountain goods, you have to go over the mountains and mountains, walk a long way, and go to the upper reaches of Xianniang Creek to hunt.

"But that's for ordinary hunters, what if they use my night eyes to make a more detailed observation?"

Chen Che looked ahead, and the powerful "night eye" was like a sharp eagle's eye, scanning the area of more than 100 zhang in front of him

Slim down!

There is not half a herb.

But!

With his keen night vision, Chen Che found a hair.

A colorful chicken feather, to be exact!

Within a hundred zhang in front of him, there was a bush that grew extremely vigorously, and some of the branches and leaves were even taller than Chen Che.

And the mountains and forests at night, as well as endless gray fog, flow silently, obstructing the view.

Even if it is the most powerful hunter in Liuyang Town, he may not be able to see clearly, and half an inch of colorful chicken feathers leaked from the edge of the bush.

The grass was full of color, and a brocade feather leaked out - although it was only half an inch shallowly exposed, it was clearly seen by Chen Che.

Chen Che carried a firewood knife and tiptoed close to the bushes, and sure enough, he saw a white-bellied golden pheasant sleeping soundly.

In traditional culture, the golden chicken has a special significance.

The ancient emperor's crown costume has the decoration of "twelve chapters", among which the "Chinese worm" is generally believed to be the red-bellied golden chicken, the gorgeous appearance and extraordinary meaning, so that there is never a shortage of golden chicken images in ancient famous paintings.

But for mountain people like Chen Che, the biggest meaning is to sell for money.

Even if it is a worse white-bellied golden chicken, it is not less than one hundred and twenty Wen.

If it is sent to the capital, it can even be sold for a high price of 500 Wen.

"Good stuff!"

As soon as Chen Che approached the grass, the white-bellied golden pheasant suddenly woke up when he heard the movement, and spread his wings and flew high "fluttering ~ fluttering", trying to fly from the grass to the branches.

Pity.

Too late.

Chen Che had wind under his feet, took three steps and did two steps, and quickly rushed into the grass.

As soon as he raised his hand, he caught the white-bellied golden pheasant trying to escape.

Master Zhao took more than a dozen family members to wander around the depths of the mountains in the Southern Wilderness for a long time, not only returning empty-handed, but also being attacked by Xiongximan.

And himself, only half an hour, scavenged the first pot of gold in the outermost part of the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

"This night eye is really easy to use."

Chen Che was overjoyed in his heart, took out the thin rope that Zhao Ru had prepared for him from the clip bag, tied his feet and wings, and threw it into the back basket.

One hundred and twenty texts, start!

Make hay.

It's the happiest thing in the world.

And the happier thing is that he can continue to make money and get rich!
