Chapter Sixty-Eight: Day by Day
The two walked side by side and approached the entrance, and the faces of the nine people became clearer and clearer as they got closer, sitting in the middle was a bearded man, who was also strong, on the left hand side was a bewitching woman, with a thick layer of powder on her face, and it looked like she should be thirty-five or sixteen, and on the right hand side was an old man with a childish face and crane hair, with a goatee on his chin, and a pair of triangular eyes staring at Su Huai always made people feel uncomfortable, and the other six people were also sitting around the entrance, as if they were waiting for something, the nine people did not deliberately hide their breath, and the middle three Su Huai couldn't see through, but subconsciously felt that these three people were very dangerous。
The two of them got closer, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter like silver bells in their ears, and the bewitching woman laughed, "Yo... Where did the two little brothers come from such a sign, my sister will have fun on Chongming Island in the future."
Su Huai heard this laughter, and for some reason his hairs stood on end, and he always felt uncomfortable, and it would not be a good stubble to come to Chongming Island.
Fang Jin is a lot more sophisticated, and he clasped his fists with both hands and said, "In Xia Fang Jin, I have seen all my friends."
"Friend," the old man with a childish face and crane hair said in a weird manner, "Old man, you can be your grandfather at this age."
Fang Jin saw that the other party intended to make things difficult, shook the fan and shook it gently, "I worshiped his old man during the Qingming Festival last year, I don't know if you can receive some incense, candles, paper fire", Fang Jin said this is neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no meaning of softness.
When the old man with a childish face heard this, he was so angry that his beard turned up, and he jumped up at once, took out the pipe on his back and shouted, "The boy is named, and the old man Jiang Han will not kill the nameless."
"Fang Jin" Fang Jin replied without hurrying to talk, the two of them are the youngest of the eleven people, they have just arrived, if no one provokes them, then they will be fine, someone wants to give a dismount, and the two of them don't mind killing chickens and monkeys, as long as it is not the bearded man in the middle, the strength of the two of them is not afraid of anyone.
"Old man Jiang, everyone is an outlaw, come here to find a glimmer of life, more is better than less" Just when Fang Jin and Jiang Han were fighting, the bearded man said, this bearded man is named Gao Cheng, and he is the strongest among the eleven people, according to Su Huai, it should be a prefecture-level martial artist.
Jiang Han knew that he was far from being the opponent of the bearded man, so he glared at Fang Jin fiercely, and sat down cross-legged again.
Fang Jin and Su Huai were looking for a place to sit down, and then they heard the bewitching woman say, "Two little brothers, come here, sister, I can't move you with me, old man Jiang."
Su Huai didn't want to go over, but Fang Jin happily agreed, and there was no taboo to sit next to the bewitching woman like this.
Fang Jin took the folding fan and said with a smile, "In Xia Fang Jin, dare to ask my sister's name."
The bewitching woman with the word Fang name was quite useful, but she covered her mouth and chuckled, and was just about to speak, but an extremely discordant voice came, "Two-faced fox, Bai Qianqian" seemed to be dissatisfied Bai Qianqian called Su Huaifang Jin to her side to protect her, Jiang Han was still not satisfied after speaking, and muttered, "Not much younger than the old man."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Qianqian's smile immediately froze, and she was instantly covered with frost, and said sharply, "Old man Jiang, believe it or not, I tore your mouth", the two expressions in front and one after the other were in line with the statement of the two-faced fox.
Jiang Han turned around and stopped talking with satisfaction, with Gao Cheng in the middle, Jiang Han didn't believe that Bai Qianqian really dared to do it, these three people knew each other's names, they should know each other's names, but looking at the position they did and the conversation they just had, the three of them should have nothing to do before this.
Fang Jin saw that the two were not arguing, and asked with a smile, "How long has Sister Bai been here, why don't you go in."
Bai Qianqian pointed to the three big characters at the entrance and asked, "Do you see it?"
Fang Jin followed Bai Qianqian's fingers and read "Sun Valley" in his mouth.
Bai Qianqian nodded and said, "This sun-chasing valley is a maze, the maze rotates with the flow of water, if there is no one to guide you can't go out at all, and the meaning of the sun-chasing is to let people run after the sun, every day when the sun sets, if it appears in the middle of the two boulders at the entrance, then you can follow the guidance of the sun out of the valley, but I have been here for three days without a single day."
After hearing this, Fang Jin suddenly realized, no wonder everyone gathered at the entrance, it turned out that they were waiting for the sun to set, and only by chasing the sun could they get out of the valley of the sun.
In Chongming Island, the four of them stood in front of the cliff and looked at the opposite side, only a man in black stared at the sun in the sky, and suddenly heard the man in black say, "Someone entered the island today", and after speaking, he didn't greet the rest of the people, and jumped towards the direction of the valley of the sun.
Su Huai and Fang Jin also sat in the direction of the entrance of the Sun-Chasing Valley, and learned from Bai Qianqian's mouth that the last group of people had entered the Sun-Chasing Valley for three days, and the situation in Chongming Island was a foregone conclusion, if Zhou Chong failed to stop it in time, only Tong Tianhu would enter, then Su Huai and Fang Jin were afraid that it would become very dangerous to go in, and the two were hesitating whether to go in, when they suddenly heard a shout "Sun... The sun is at the entrance".
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw that the sun was hanging in the middle of the two boulders at the entrance, headed by Gao, and everyone stepped into the Valley of the Sun at a hurry, Fang Jin saw that everyone had already entered, and gritted his teeth and said, "Go."
Su Huai Fang Jin also stepped into the valley of the sun, a passage more than 20 meters long, but there are two roads at the end, the nine people have gone to the end, but they are waiting for the sun in the sky, I don't know which way to go, but fortunately, the Hades thorn is coiled with a boulder to grow, although dense but can not block the sun in the sky, Su Huai and Fang Jin speed up their pace and also walked to the end of the channel, the road in front of them is one left and one right, and the direction of the sun is along the channel in the straight line, follow the sun like this, isn't it to pass through the stone wall in front of them, the group is staring at the sun in the sky, when the sun reaches the intersection, everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the miracle to appear。
"The sun has turned," I don't know who shouted, breaking the silence in the valley of the sun.
Sure enough, when the sun reached the intersection, it went weirdly in the direction of the left passage, the sun was originally rising in the east and setting in the west, could it be that this valley of the sun was really so magical.
When everyone was puzzled, they heard Gao Cheng say, "It's not the sun that turns, but the valley of the sun under your feet," and as soon as the words fell, they headed towards the left passage.
Everyone felt that Gao Cheng's words were reasonable, how could there be a saying that the sun would bend, it must be that the island was moving, but everyone didn't feel any movement in the Sun-Chasing Valley under their feet, and they didn't know who created the Sun-Chasing Valley, and the calculation was so accurate that even the sun in the sky could be counted.
Everyone went to the left channel, each passage has more and more forks, and every time they reach many intersections, the sun in the sky will always choose an intersection to guide everyone forward, but as they continue to go deeper, the rotation of the valley of the sun is getting faster and faster, everyone in the valley of the sun does not feel that the valley is rotating, but feel that the sun in the sky is setting faster and faster, it is slowly moving forward waiting for the sun to guide the direction, but now it is everyone chasing the sun to run, a little careless, as long as you miss an intersection, then you will get lost in the valley of the sun.
Su Huai and Fang Jin were originally following behind everyone, but as the speed of the rotation of the Sun Valley accelerated, there were already six people who gradually couldn't keep up, Su Huai and Fang Jin relied on their body skills and foot strength, and followed closely behind Gao Cheng, and even Bai Qianqian and Jiang Han were thrown away some distance.
The speed of the Sun-Chasing Valley is still accelerating, if it goes down like this, someone will have to be trapped in the Sun-Chasing Valley sooner or later, Jiang Han looked at Su Huai and Fang Jin who were running in front and secretly complained in his heart, but he was unwilling to say more to save some strength.
Bai Qianqian also looked at the figures of Fang Jin and Su Huai, her eyebrows and eyes turned, she had some friendship with Su Huai and Fang Jin just to make fun of her, but she didn't expect these two people to be so good at their personal skills, and they had to ask the two for help in a while.
Another fork in the road, just turned a corner, Bai Qianqian and Jiang Han were dumbfounded, looking up, the sky was empty, the sun guiding the direction had already arrived at the next intersection, just desperate to look down, just a cyan figure towards the right channel, everyone was overjoyed to follow, and turned another intersection, still did not see the sun in the sky, only a cyan figure, seeing that everyone arrived and then went to the next intersection.
Everyone was grateful, if it was a coincidence, and a cyan figure could be seen at every intersection, it was someone who was deliberately guiding everyone out of the valley of the sun.
Bai Qianqian looked at the cyan figure and smiled, and even Jiang Han's gloomy face looked a little peaceful.
Everyone was able to keep up, but it was hard for Su Huai, not only to take care of the people in the rear not to fall behind, but also to follow the sun in the sky to find the right way, every time he found the right exit Su Huai slowed down and waited for the people behind, and when the people behind saw that they knew the right exit, the sun had almost finished the next passage, and Su Huai had to speed up the pace to catch up.
Gao Cheng has always been at the forefront, secretly shocked in his heart, he has to chase the sun and guide the people behind, even he can't do it, in terms of speed, Su Huai is afraid that he is already stronger than himself, he looked back at Su Huai, who was panting, shook his head and continued to move forward.
Chasing the sun in the valley of the sun for about two hours, with Su Huai's guidance, everyone walked out of the valley of the sun, the sky was already a little dark, and the sun also set only a small half, the first thing that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a big mountain, called Sunset Peak, the east of Chongming Island was surrounded by stones is the Sunset Valley, and the west is Sunset Peak, in the middle are countless houses, Chongming Island never entertains guests, perhaps the original builder in order to come to Chongming Island people have a place to stay, is to build more houses.
Everyone was panting, obviously through the Sun Valley consumption is not small, around Su Huai, there are some words of gratitude, suddenly an incongruous voice came over, "Little brother, I don't think you are like the person who should come to Chongming Island", the person who spoke was Jiang Han, although his words were not good, but his tone was flat without the slightest hostility.
The rest of the people were afraid of Jiang Han and didn't dare to speak out, but Bai Qianqian glared angrily and shouted, "Old man Jiang, don't forget, if you don't have him, you are still in the valley now."
Jiang Han was not angry, and said, "That's why I want to remind him that people like us come to Chongming Island just to survive, and the rules here can't be broken."
Bai Qianqian was stunned for a moment, indeed as Jiang Han said, Chongming Island is known as the last way of life for the wicked in the world, which of the people gathered on Chongming Island does not have a few murders in their hands, if the rules of Chongming Island are broken, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out alive, and in addition to the wicked people in the eyes of the world, there is a second type of people who will also come to Chongming Island, that is, under the banner of justice, they come here to punish the evil or take revenge, and looking at Su Huai's actions in the Sun-Seeking Valley, it is more like the second type of people, and it is also the most unpopular person in the Sun-Seeking Valley, after all, everyone is here to take refuge, and no one wants outsiders to come here to seek revenge and cause trouble。
Everyone understood the meaning of Jiang Han's words, and there was a trace of suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Su Huai, but Su Huai's kindness in bringing everyone out of the Sun Valley was still there, and they all looked at Su Huai one by one, hoping that Su Huai could give a satisfactory answer.
When Su Huai was in a dilemma, he heard Fang Jin say, "My brother is kind and kind, but it's a pity that he offended the city lord when he was in Qingshan City, and beat someone's son.
"You stole his calligraphy and paintings," a tall man asked.
"Exactly, there is not a single thing left," Fang Jin said proudly.
"That's it, the thin man in Qingshan City loves calligraphy and painting, and the fat man Lu is not a good thing, he should fight, and the calligraphy and painting should be taken" The tall man spoke quite badly, and seemed to have a deep grudge against the father and son surnamed Lu in Qingshan City, and the fat man Lu in his mouth was Lu Daqi, and the thin man Lu was Lu Youde.
The rest of the people listened to the conversation between the three of them, and Su Huai's kindness in taking everyone out of the valley, they all believed Fang Jin's words, as long as they didn't come to Chongming Island to seek revenge and cause trouble, everyone would live a peaceful and stable life, and they would be considered a family on Chongming Island in the future.
Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief for Su Huai's matter, a voice came from behind him, "Since you can get out of the Valley of the Sun, you will be a family in the future", this voice came so suddenly, everyone's hearts that had just been put down were raised again.
