At the bottom of the col, we found several more paths leading to the rocks on the other side of the mountain.

He Xuanya said: "For the sake of insurance, let's go a little further." ”

We walked along one of the paths for dozens of minutes until we came to a flat land half-enclosed by a cliff, and on the edge of the flat there was a cliff that protruded outwards and sunken inwards at the bottom, forming a rock nest.

By this time, we were all so exhausted that we couldn't walk.

He Xuanya looked around and said weakly, "I think, let's rest here." It just so happens that the bottom of this cliff can shelter from the wind and rain. ”

As if we had received a pardon, we ran to the bottom of the cliff with the last bit of strength, and sat down on the ground one by one.

As soon as we sat down, we staggered and fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but I was dazed and heard strange voices talking around me.

"It seems to be a few Wa royals. ”

"How could the Wa royal family come to this place, this place is not within the scope of their activities. ”

"Are you here to spy on the news?"

"What news is there to spy on in this barren mountain and wild mountains, besides, we don't have any festivals and conflicts with the Wa royal family, why do they want to spy on the news. ”

"Could it be that the affairs of General Chongda have been known to foreigners?"

"Shut up, and you're going to lose your head when you talk about it. But that matter is within my clan, and what does it have to do with other clans? ”

"Maybe I want to fight for the lord. ”

"Alright, don't say it. Wake them up and ask if it's over. ”

I struggled to open my eyes and see that it was already dawn.

Two strange creatures with beaks and big wings were kicking us, shouting, "Hey, wake up, wake up." ”

I got up from the ground with a grunt, sat up straight and moved back, my back pressed against the cliff.

He Xuanya and the three of them also woke up at this time, and they were also startled by the two strange things in front of them, and they all sat against the cliff in a daze and didn't dare to make a sound.

After I sat down, I thought about it, and the things in front of me seemed to be similar to the Huandou people in Daddy's story.

I was about to ask them if they were Huandou, when the fatter of the two weird things asked, "Where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

Before I could figure out how to answer, He Xuanya preemptively said: "We are from the Wa royal family from outside the mountain, and we came into the mountain to find our parents who haven't been home for several months, but when we got to the mountain, we got lost, and we didn't go out for a few days and nights, and I don't know how to get here." ”

The fat strange thing said contemptuously: "What about you deceiving ghosts? Can you get lost here? There is no road between here and the mountains and forests where your Wa royal family is active, and there are thousands of cliffs in between, and the birds can't get lost here, so you flew up?"

Another skinny strange thing said, "We Huandou people are terrified to fly down from the top of the cliff, let alone fly up from below." You honestly confess, are you a spy or not, come to find out the news. ”

As soon as I heard him say it, I was sure that they were really happy people.

The slightly fat Huandouren looked at the thinner one and said softly: "Don't be ashamed, aren't you the only one who doesn't dare to fly down the cliff?" ”

The thin Huandou lowered his head when he heard this.

He Xuanya and I were amused.

"Don't laugh at you, tell me honestly, what the hell are you doing here?" said the fat Huandou man, pretending to be fierce.

At this time, I no longer have the slightest fear of them, but I think these two Huandou people are a little funny. Turning her head to look at He Xuanya, she was also full of lightness, looking at the two Huandou people with a smile.

I deliberately stood up abruptly and said, "Why are you two questioning us?"

Instead, they were so frightened by my actions that they took half a step back, and when I asked them in turn, they were deflated and stammered.

The two Huandou people put their heads together and discussed for a long time, and the fat man stepped forward and said, "This is the realm of our Huandou people, you have broken in for no reason, of course we have to inquire clearly." Tell us the truth, or I'll take you to our leader." ”

He Xuanya stood up at this time, stepped forward and took a step closer, and was about to speak, when the fat Huandouren took a step back and said, "Don't come here, the gun in my hand is not long-eyed." As he spoke, he raised the spear in his hand.

He Xuanya asked: "You said that this is the realm of your Huandou people? But as far as I know, after the Huandou people were relegated to the secret world, the scope of their activities was limited to the underground rock formations, except for the top of the mountain, as the place where your clan blesses the ancestral gods, the people of your clan cannot appear in broad daylight. Look at the red sun overhead, it shines on all things, and everywhere it goes, it is a place that your secret people should avoid. You are not quick to flee, but you have come to inquire of us. Aren't you afraid that the heavens will wrath and skin you cramps and skin? Although this place is difficult for ordinary people to reach, according to the divine contract, the place where the sun and the moon shine is the place where our Wa royal family can move. We can come when we want, leave when we want, do we need you to chase after us?"

The two Huandou people were speechless.

After a while, the thin Huandou man muttered, "I, we don't want to come up from the ground, but this underground is the northernmost border of our Huandou clan, what if someone invades us from the ground?"

Fat Huandou was so angry that he stomped his foot and said, "What are you talking about? What is there to explain to them!"

The fat Huandouren said and pulled the thin Huandouren behind him, stepped forward and said: "Then we won't ask you anymore, where did you come from and where did you go back, don't hinder the security of our borders." ”

I thought to myself, it's no good to spend it with them, it's better to get out of it.

Thinking of this, I felt unbearably hungry. Even after a night's sleep, I still felt weak in my body, and then I remembered that we hadn't eaten in a long time.

I looked at the sailor and Zhiyong, both of whom were sitting on the ground in a daze, looking without any energy.

I had an idea and said, "Thank you two then, let's go." But look at how we can walk like this. Truth be told, we haven't eaten in days. Now I am so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back, and my legs are as soft as noodles. If only we could have something to eat, we will have enough to eat and we can run faster, and you can go to other things sooner with peace of mind. ”

The skinny man asked, "What are the noodles?

The fat Huandou glared at him and said, "Shut up, it's useless to ask something." Noodles should be similar to tossels, you should think of them as a kind of worm. ”

Then he looked at us and said, "Then we can say that we must leave here immediately when we are full, or we will take you to our leader." ”

I smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”

The fat man pulled the thin man and muttered a few words in his ear, and the thin man ran away from the mountains and rocks.

Not long after, the thin man came back with a cloth belt on his shoulder.

He handed the cloth bag to the fat Huandouren, and the fat Huandouren handed the cloth bag over again and said, "Here, hurry up and eat, eat and leave." ”

I took the bag and opened it, and saw that it contained dried bats and snakes, as well as several large insects that I had never seen before.

I took out the dried wild fruits and distributed them among everyone, and returned the worms and snakes to the Huandou people.

After eating the dried fruits, the four of us regained some strength. So he got up and walked in the direction of the hole in the cliff wall that he had passed through at night.

As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard a shout from behind: "What's the matter with you two, stop those intruders quickly, don't let them escape." ”

I looked behind me and saw dozens of Huandou men rushing towards me with weapons.

I shouted, "Run!" and everyone ran together.

Before he could run two steps, a few cheerful people flew down in front of him, blocking the way.

We were forced to stop, and at this time, the Huandou people running on the ground also rushed up and surrounded us.

He Xuanya was about to fight, but I grabbed her and said to her, "There are too many of them, and they will definitely not be able to fight hard, so let's go with them." It is said that the first king of the Huandou clan and the first old lady of the drought are brothers and sisters, and now the king of Huandou and the grandmother of the sailor are also considered righteous brothers and sisters, and there are sailors, they will not do anything to us. When the time comes, it will be fine to make things clear, and maybe they will send a chariot and horse to take us to the Dry Tribe. ”

When He Xuanya heard this, she put away her fists and feet and stood quietly in place.

A man who looked like a military leader looked at us and ordered, "Take them all with me." ”

A few of the Huandou soldiers waved their spears facing us to the side, and the Huandou people who were in a circle made a way for the four of us to walk out, and the Huandou people followed us forward with their brushes.

We were led three or four miles to a barracks-like place, where heavy soldiers were stationed, and where tents were full within a radius of several miles.

Behind the two rows of barracks, there is a high cliff, on which is an arched doorway three or four meters high, and two red-painted gates in the doorway are tightly closed. There are three big characters written on the top of the door hole: Sanjieling, and there are four small characters under the big characters: Chongmai North Arch.

The commander of the army who escorted us walked to the guard box by the doorway, whispered a few words to the defenders inside the guard box, and the red lacquer gate creaked open.

The head of the army said to the escorting soldiers, "You leave ten men with me to go to Chongshan, and the rest will be stationed on patrol as usual, and you must not be lazy." ”

As he spoke, he led the way into the doorway. The four of us were also surrounded by ten Huandou soldiers and entered the door.

Inside the doorway is a huge school yard, which must have been hollowed out of half of the mountain.

Although the school yard is in a cave, there are torches lit everywhere, and the inside is bright. Countless soldiers and horses above are coming and going to practice martial arts.

The military commander led us around the edge of the school field to the other side, where there were two stone pillars three or four meters thick and dozens of zhang high. The stone pillars go all the way to the top of the cave. On the outward side of the column is engraved a couplet with the size of a grinding plate. The upper link on the stone pillar on the right is: The seedlings of the Three Realms and the Eight Heavens and the Four Sins, and the lower link on the left stone pillar is: The cliff of the thousands of miles and thousands of miles of thousands of miles of the stone pillar on the left.

Between the two stone pillars, a wide carriage and horse avenue extends out, leading to the belly of the mountain, and the curtain is heavy and there is no end in sight.

There is a yard on the side of the avenue, and dozens of four-wheeled vans are parked in the yard, and there are 100 healthy horses tied in two rows of stables.

The commander of the army entered the courtyard, and after a while he went out of the courtyard with a two-horse cart. On the front seat of the carriage sat a well-dressed coachman.

The coachman parked the car on the side of the road, jumped off the front wheel, opened the rear door of the car, and said, "Please get in the car, officials." ”

The four of us were taken into the car by the Huandou soldiers, and the commander of the army walked to the front, boarded the wheel, and sat on the passenger seat next to the coachman.

The coachman "snapped" and flicked the whip and shouted: "Da ——!"

The carriage galloped down the highway like an arrow from a string.
