Chapter 187: A Mountain Exploration Adventure
I don't know if the jujube horse is used to the road or walks casually, in the evening, when Su Yu woke up completely, he saw the jujube horse walking to a familiar village.
This village is the small village where he borrowed it twice when he went north.
After walking all day, at the speed of the jujube horse today, Su Yu couldn't figure out how the jujube horse pulled the carriage to this small village.
At this time, night had come, the sky was a little gray, and the villagers had already returned to their homes from the farmland, and every household in the village was lit up.
Su Yu opened his eyes and saw that the big jujube horse had come to the door of a family's yard, and a small earth dog behind the door was constantly pulling the chain and barking at the carriage outside the door.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, I came to the door of this place again.
The couple in the villager's family and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old heard the dog barking and hurriedly walked out of the house, the peasant woman still holding a pair of wooden chopsticks in her hand.
"Uncle Xiao, auntie, I'm sorry to bother you so late. ”
Su Yu yawned, turned over and got out of the carriage, and the puppy behind the door didn't know how to hear Su Yu's voice, but still smelled and felt Su Yu's breath, and instantly quieted down, curled up his tail and found a corner and squatted down in fear.
The farmer's boy noticed the puppy's movement, glanced at the puppy casually, and then went with his parents to pick up Su Yu and the girl.
"Don't bother, don't bother, Miss Childe, please come into the house quickly, it's cold outside at night." Uncle Xiao smiled innocently.
Aunt Xiao also said with a smile: "It's time to eat! Come in and eat! Aman, hurry up and add dishes and chopsticks." ”
The boy listened to his mother's words and hurriedly went back to the house to prepare dishes and chopsticks.
"What a coincidence!"
Su Yu picked the girl off the wheel, and then followed Uncle Xiao to the house.
Suddenly, Su Yu seemed to smell something strange, and when he looked up, there were several weak and shadow-like demon spirits fluttering in the wind.
However, the smell he smelled was not the smell of ghosts and spirits, but more like the smell of demonic energy emitted by living monsters.
It is only dozens of miles away from Tianyi Peak, not too far, I heard that the meridians of Tianyi Peak are extremely huge, although there is a formation shrouded, but the vitality in it will still overflow, so it is not surprising that there are some little goblins in the nearby mountains and fields who are just a little enlightened.
After all, Tianyi Peak is nearby, and the spirit rune array is dense, which can basically guarantee that there will be no demons, and many little demons have the intelligence of three-year-old children, which is already good, and the impact on people is not great, and it is not much different from other beasts.
Thinking that he was no longer a disciple of Tianyi Mountain, Su Yu smiled lightly, laughing at himself for being used to thinking about problems as a disciple of Tianyi Mountain.
Now, I don't have to do anything, just do what I want to do, so why bother thinking about it?
Even if there are demons, what if there are demons? Anyway, some powerful disciples rushed here from Tianyi Peak for about ten minutes, as long as it was not something that they encountered with their own eyes, they really didn't have to worry.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, Su Yu got up early, it should be said that he basically didn't sleep last night, after all, he slept all day yesterday.
"Su Gongzi is early!"
As soon as Su Yu went out, he saw Aman chopping wood in the yard, and when he heard Aman's greeting, Su Yu also smiled and replied: "Morning! Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao got up so early to do farm work!"
"Well, the harvest will be a few days away, so while the weather is still warm, put some water in the field, and then harvest the ears." ”
Aman put down the axe in his hand, threw the chopped firewood on the pile next to him, looked at Su Yu, and when he retracted his gaze, he subconsciously glanced at the little dog that was trembling and curled up in the corner.
Aman was a little puzzled, in the morning, the puppy was still very active, and the weather was not cold now, so why did he tremble and curl up, as if he was sick.
So Aman patted the sawdust on his body and walked to the puppy, Su Yu scratched his head, feeling a little helpless, so he walked away.
The puppy quickly returned to an active state, Aman smiled, and was thinking about talking to Su Yu, but who knew that Su Yu was no longer visible.
Su Yu came to the road of the village, and many villagers could be seen on the road, and the villagers all remembered Su Yu's son-in-law, and greeted Su Yu warmly.
"Childe, what are you looking at here?"
Suddenly, a little girl came over, the little girl was delicate, dressed simply, and looked like she was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wasn't it exactly the girl of her family that Aunt Yu introduced to her when she was on her way back to Tianyi Mountain about half a month ago?
"It's Xiaoxiu! What about Aunt Yu?"
"Mother, she's down to the ground, why don't we go for a walk? The village is close to the mountains, you can go for a walk, but in the city it's not as interesting as in the mountains, there is a fun place in the mountains. ”
"Aren't you afraid of girls?"
"It's not...... Where's that little girl?"
"Don't worry, you haven't gotten up yet!"
"Shall we go, then?"
"Let's go. ”
So the two of them walked towards the hill behind the village.
The girl Xiaoxiu boasted that she was familiar with the road, so she had to lead the way in front, and her face was red from the early morning mountain wind, so Su Yu asked: "It seems to be colder in the mountains, can you stand it?"
Xiao Xiutou didn't look back, and said with a smile as she walked: "Don't be afraid, we grew up playing in the mountains, how can we not stand it." ”
Listening to Xiaoxiu's words, Su Yu was a little helpless, but she didn't say much, and let her take her to the mountain.
Although Xiaoxiu said that he grew up playing in the mountains since he was a child, Xiaoxiu was still out of breath when he climbed all the way to the top of the mountain.
Su Yu walked in front of Xiaoxiu, blocked a lot of mountain wind for her, and said, "The body is hot and cold, and it is easy to be unbearable." ”
Xiaoxiu was said by Su Yu, her little face became even redder, and she snorted lightly: "Don't underestimate me, if I hadn't been going to the county to study in recent years, I would have climbed the back mountain less, otherwise I wouldn't have taken a breath." ”
But Su Yu didn't care about Xiaoxiu's words, he just looked around suspiciously, with Su Yu's eyesight, he could naturally see the surroundings clearly.
So Su Yu walked forward more than ten meters, brushed aside a bush of lush grass, and Su Yu saw a lot of dog-like footprints on the ground.
There are many beast footprints on the mountain that resemble dog footprints, but based on the size and number of footprints, it is estimated that there should be only three or five beasts the size of adult dogs.
Although there is no residual demonic energy, the possibility of being a monster cannot be ruled out.
The size of a dog and a wild beast living in groups, Su Yu thought of wolves for the first time, but the wolves barked back at night, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he didn't hear the wolf howl, these wolves are very likely to be demons with a certain amount of wisdom.
However, as far as the eye can see, the hill is very low, the top of the mountain is very flat around it, and there are no cliffs or other places in the mountain, let alone caves or the like.
These little goblins may be passing by.
Su Yu sighed lightly.
"Master Su, I'll call you!"
Xiaoxiu walked to Su Yu's side, stretched out her finger and carefully touched Su Yu's shoulder.
Su Yu was awakened by Xiaoxiu's movements, then put aside his thoughts, turned around and said, "Ah, I didn't hear something just now, by the way, didn't you say that there is something fun in the mountains, take me to see it!"
"Yes, follow me. ”
Xiaoxiu smiled, and her red face was also cute.
So Su Yu followed Xiaoxiu along a mountain road that had been occupied by weeds for eight points.
The mountain road is not repaired, it is the kind of mountain road that people walk more and step on, the mountain is short, there are not many wild beasts, no one hunts, there are few people on the mountain, and the mountain road is occupied by weeds.
This hill is very small, only about 200 meters, and on the other side of the hill is a slope, which looks very smooth, connecting to another mountain.
Xiaoxiu took Su Yu down the slope, and didn't stop until he was almost on another mountain, and there was a small cliff less than five meters in front of him, which was too unexpected for Su Yu.
Because the cliff was very small and the weeds were too high, Su Yu couldn't see the slope when he looked at it, Su Yu really couldn't imagine that there would be such a place here.
"You see, there is a big rock down there, and behind the stone is a cave. ”
Xiaoxiu pointed to the large stone protruding below, and then skillfully jumped onto the top of the stone. The top of the stone is less than a meter from where Xiaoxiu is standing, and you can jump on the stone at will.
Su Yu also jumped lightly and landed on the stone.
Xiaoxiu saw Su Yu coming, and hurriedly climbed down, there were many depressions on the big stones, which were manually chiseled out, very neat.
Originally, Su Yu could jump off this stone, which was only more than three meters high, but in order to climb down with Xiaoxiu.
After landing on the ground, Su Yu saw that this cliff was not a stone cliff, but an earth cliff, although it was overgrown with weeds, but Su Yu felt that this was most likely a cliff excavated by hand.
There was only one big stone on the cliff, and he didn't see the cave that Xiaoxiu said, Su Yu looked back behind him, it was a fairly smooth upward slope, the slope was not long, and it was the top of another slope.
Su Yu is sure that this is a cliff excavated by artificiality, how could a natural cliff be at the junction of the two mountains?
"Hee-hee, didn't you find the hole? Look here!"
Xiaoxiu said triumphantly pointing to the lower right corner of the big stone.
Su Yu took a closer look, only to find that she was not referring to a big stone, but a small stone that seemed to be connected to a big stone, this small stone was only less than a meter high and only about half a year wide, but it was filling the lower right corner of a whole large stone.
It's like a building block, perfectly filling the big stone into a whole, and with the cracks and moss on the big stone, it's really hard for ordinary people to find this small stone.
"But in the past, it was pushed by several friends, but now there are not enough people, and you and I can't push this stone. Xiaoxiu looked at the mossy stone and said a little depressed.
"Push?"
Su Yu was a little surprised, approached the stone, squatted down slightly, and gently pushed the stone inward.
Xiaoxiu hurriedly grabbed Su Yu's hand and said, "It's not like this, it's to the right...... Huh, what's the matter...... You've got a lot of strength!"
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, I have practiced martial arts, and I have some brute strength, and it is still very easy to use a stone of this size. ”
Su Yu smiled and pushed the small stone to the right, and soon, a small hole appeared in front of the two, and a sultry smell emanated from the hole.
Su Yu put his hand in front of his mouth and nose and fanned it, a gust of wind blew away the smell emitted from the cave, and said a little solemnly: "Xiaoxiu, be careful, if you haven't had fresh air in for too long, it may be poisonous." ”
"Don't worry! I know this, and it's so dry and sealed that no beast will get inside. ”
Xiao Xiu smiled happily, as if she was happy to enter this cave again.
"You go back, I'll go down first. ”
Su Yu had a strange feeling, so he stopped Xiao Xiu, who was about to drill inside, and then he quickly drilled in.
Seeing this, Xiaoxiu immediately got in.
