Where is the old garden in the vast mountains ---, return to the side of the mind Chapter 11: Hidden Place [Ask for Collection]
After walking a few steps forward, not too far, Zhao Bin pulled Huang Yuchen up the mountain that appeared before, and climbed the mountain, but the situation in front of him was a little unexpected.
I saw that the mountain range under my feet was cut into steps, step by step down, secluded, deep into the woods, I saw from a distance, it seemed a little gloomy, where it was before, it was a clearing, from there, I couldn't imagine that there were these mysteries behind the mountains.
"I said how the two of them disappeared suddenly, it turned out that this mountain was actually cut into a ladder, but the intention is unique. Huang Yuchen squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
Zhao Bin pulled Huang Yuchen up the mountain, let go of his hand, and saw Huang Yuchen stop and watch, smiled slightly, and said softly: "We have few people here and weak strength, so naturally we have to find a hidden place, and we can't see the village until the end." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, and said, "There is the village in front, and Brother Ma will come with me." As he spoke, he walked down the stairs and walked slowly.
Huang Yuchen followed Zhao Bin's footsteps and walked slowly, this staircase is not wide, only a path, surrounded by trees, it is really not to the top of the mountain, it is true that you can't see this path, and you can't find the cottage. Huang Yuchen walked a few steps and looked back, the mountain didn't seem to be steep, but when he looked back, it was also a little high.
"It's a secluded place, and it looks gentle from the outside, but it's a basin, and the trees are much more lush than before. Huang Yuchen thought secretly in his heart and followed Zhao Bin. As you go down, the lower you go, the darker the light becomes, and the trees around you become denser. The air was a little humid, and the more Huang Yuchen walked, the more he frowned.
"It's remote, it's wooded, it's a basin, and there are so many traps on the edges. Why are these people so careful, and there is another hidden reason in it?" Huang Yuchen thought in his heart, secretly raising his breath, feeling more and more that things were not so simple, and at this moment he regretted a little that he followed Zhao Bin down.
"Brother Zhao, your cottage is really remote, such a hidden place, how did you find it in the first place?" Huang Yuchen was puzzled in his heart and asked in a low voice.
When Zhao Bin heard this, he stopped, looked back at Huang Yuchen, and said with a slight smile: "Speaking of which, it has been more than ten years. After saying that, Zhao Bin waved his hand, motioned for Huang Yuchen to follow, and said slowly: "When I went into the vast mountain to avoid disaster, I survived for a long time, but I also stumbled over, triggered the mechanism outside, and almost died. ”
Huang Yuchen followed Zhao Bin, and frowned a little, what Zhao Bin said was indeed not as he thought, he thought that this cottage was built by Zhao Bin. I had doubts in my heart, and I asked, "Didn't you build this village, Brother Zhao?"
"Naturally, not. Zhao Bin shook his head with a smile, continued to move forward, and said, "When I came here, I was chasing a wild deer, and I didn't want to be hit by the trap. Fortunately, I was okay and dodged a few, but I was also hit by stray arrows, and it was the people in the village who rescued me and brought me into the village. ”
"Then why did Brother Zhao become the leader of the village again? Under normal circumstances, don't you stay away from people when you see them?" Huang Yuchen was puzzled and asked, "Since you want to save people, why do you still set up traps?" ”
"This little brother doesn't know anything. Zhao Bin smiled: "That trap is not for dealing with the living. This joint, the little brother will slowly know in the future. As he spoke, he stopped, pointed to a corner in front of him, and said, "There is the village in front, if there is anything else that the little brother wants to ask, it is not too late to enter the village." ”
Huang Yuchen followed and stopped, followed the direction pointed by Zhao Bin, not far ahead, the descending stairs slowed down and disappeared into a corner. The trees here are more lush, and the gaps between the trees become narrower, and the trees stand on the left and right, like a row of natural walls, seemingly impregnable.
"Brother Zhao. Seeing this scene, Huang Yuchen couldn't help but say: "The trees on both sides of this staircase are so close, when the stairs were excavated, I am afraid that a lot of effort was wasted." ”
"I don't know. Zhao Bin shook his head and said, "Look at this trunk, it can't grow in more than ten years." That's how it was when I came here, and sometimes I sigh a little bit about how I found such a hidden place when I fell to the ground in the first place. As he spoke, he waved his hand at Huang Yuchen and continued to walk forward.
Huang Yuchen felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Only follow Zhao Bin and move forward step by step.
Descending to the bottom of the mountain, the terrain is much flatter, and after passing the corner, it suddenly opens up.
A wooden gate appeared not far away. From here, the road is flat, and the surrounding trees are also towering, but in the very center, a wooden door suddenly appears, which is a little surprising to see. A large road that was much wider than before, leading straight to the wooden gate.
"This ......" Huang Yuchen stood in place, a little surprised, there was still some distance from the wooden door, but he could also see that the mountain gate was simple, and a sense of vicissitudes came to his face. As I descended the stairs, I didn't want to see such a scene in front of me.
"There's a stockade ahead, little brother, come with me. Zhao Bin said, following the main road and walking towards the wooden door.
Huang Yuchen hurriedly followed, and the scene in front of him was a little beyond his imagination, before he thought, these dozens of people's cottages, I am afraid that they are just a few simple houses, but I don't want to have a hole here.
"Brother Zhao...... You have such a grand cottage on the edge, so ...... other places" The closer Huang Yuchen got closer, the more shocked his heart became. This is just a wooden gate, which is simply a wall made of trees, and it is about a few feet high.
"Haha. Zhao Bin laughed and said: "Little brother, you think too much, other villages are not like this, such wooden walls and wooden doors, as far as I know, there is only this one place within a radius of dozens of miles." ”
"It's far from what I thought. Huang Yuchen didn't stop, frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "This village, I'm afraid it's as simple as I don't want to see." ”
Zhao Bin didn't answer, took a few steps to the wooden door, raised the big knife on his shoulder, slammed the door hard, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door, I'm back." ”
Before the words fell, I saw a head poking out of the wooden wall, and when I saw the big man, I shrank back. The wooden door "creaks" and opens a gap, allowing one person to pass through. Zhao Bin looked back at Huang Yuchen behind him, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, it's here, come in." As he spoke, he entered the door with a large knife on his shoulder.
Huang Yuchen didn't follow immediately, thinking in his heart: This is like the configuration of a city, if I follow in like this, can I still come out?
Zhao Bin entered the wooden door, saw that Huang Yuchen did not follow, and poked his head out of the door, and saw that Huang Yuchen was a little hesitant, so he came out again, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma don't worry, these things were built by predecessors, and they just look bluffing." As he spoke, he stepped forward to pull Huang Yuchen's sleeve, and Huang Yuchen flashed and dodged Zhao Bin's hand.
"Brother Zhao, I don't think it's that simple. ”
Zhao Bin didn't catch Huang Yuchen, he was a little stunned, and when he saw Huang Yuchen take half a step back, he sighed slightly.
"Brother Ma, I know what you're worried about. As he spoke, he put down the big knife on his shoulder, and said quietly: "What you see is all left over from the predecessors, and the people I brought with me just now are all the combat power of the village." Little brother don't worry. ”
Huang Yuchen didn't speak, his brows furrowed. Along the way, there is not to mention half a pillar of incense. Cut the mountain into steps, and the forest is the city. This is probably not the handiwork of ordinary people. Especially the wooden city wall in front of me, I am afraid that a hundred people will not be able to attack it. In this deep mountain and old forest, it is also impregnable. It would be impossible to say that there was no doubt.
"Hey......" Zhao Bin frowned again when he saw that Huang Yuchen didn't speak, and he knew what Huang Yuchen was thinking, and said, "I knew that after the little brother arrived here, he would definitely hesitate." This mountain gate is a bit bluffing. As he spoke, he took a step forward, came to Huang Yuchen, kept a distance of two steps from him, and said: "But what I said to the little brother just now is not false. This mountain gate looks bluffing, but this is all left over from our predecessors, and we are just guarding it here. ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "There are traps all over the outside, there is only one path into the mountain, and the trees are dense all around. The cultivation here is solid, not a day's work. Such a cottage, I'm afraid it's not what Brother Zhao said, the edge village is so simple. ”
When Zhao Bin heard this, he sighed again and said: "Little brother, this is a legacy of the predecessors, and it is indeed a marginal copycat, it was indeed brilliant at that time, but it is not what it used to be." It's understandable that the little brother has doubts in his heart, after all, this place is really bluffing. As he spoke, he scratched his head and said, "If the little brother doesn't believe it, so be it." Zhao Bin threw the big knife in his hand at Huang Yuchen's feet with one hand, and said: "Little brother brought this weapon to capture me in, if in danger, little brother killed me with a knife, is this okay?"
The knife was inserted at Huang Yuchen's feet, which made him feel a little surprised in his heart, and said, "Why should Brother Zhao be like this?
"It's hard to say, Brother Ma, Zhao Bin sincerely invites you to join the village, and he also has selfish intentions, but it will never hurt your heart. The little brother has doubts in his heart, and it is a matter of course. As he spoke, he raised his head and shouted at the city, "Throw the rope down." ”
"Leader!" A person poked out of the city, Huang Yuchen looked up, it was indeed the straightforward young man who had just asked Zhao Bin to send back at the end, and he was impatient at this time, and shouted: "If he doesn't come in, he won't come in, why should the leader be like this, give someone a handle!"
"You kid don't talk nonsense, don't you listen to me, don't you?" Zhao Bin frowned, glared and roared: "If you want to throw the rope, throw the rope, you have so much nonsense." ”
"What shall we do if this boy is a spy and kills the leader with a single sword?" the young man shouted again, still refusing to listen.
"Your mother!" Zhao Bin stomped his foot, pointed at the young man in the city and scolded: "I see that your kid is tight-skinned, and you don't listen to what I say? What's the matter, do you want to rebel? Why don't you throw the rope down quickly." ”
"Throw it, throw it, why are you scolding?" The young man saw that Zhao Bin was really a little anxious, muttered, turned around and took the rope, threw it down the city, and fell right at Zhao Bin's feet, and then shouted: "Leader, if you let people kill, I will run away!"
"Damn. The recruiter no longer paid attention to the young man, lowered his head and picked up the rope, tied himself up in three or two times, took two steps forward, came to Huang Yuchen's side, and said, "Brother Ma, in this way, you can enter the village." ”
Huang Yuchen stood in place, a little embarrassed by Zhao Bin's actions, at this time, Zhao Bin was like this, no matter how many doubts he had in his heart, it would be difficult to attack.
"Brother Zhao...... This ......" Huang Yuchen was a little hesitant, although he had doubts in his heart, but Zhao Bin was like this, and he really didn't know what to do.
"Brother Ma, don't hesitate, if this can solve the doubts in the little brother's heart, the little brother will capture me and enter. Zhao Bin said, turning his back to Huang Yuchen, and motioned for Huang Yuchen to pick up the big knife on the ground.
Huang Yuchen sighed slightly, picked up the big knife on the ground, and said to Zhao Bin: "Brother Zhao will lead the way." The man did not step forward to pull Zhao Bin's rope.
Zhao Bin saw that Huang Yuchen had already picked up the big knife, laughed, turned around and left, and went straight into the wooden door. Huang Yuchen followed behind with a big knife and entered the wooden door. This knife is carrying dozens of catties, not to mention dozens of catties, and the heavy weight is pressed on the body, which makes Huang Yuchen's heart a lot more peaceful.
When I entered the door, my eyes lit up.
The first thing that came to mind was a small square, the site was paved with stones, and it seemed that it was tended every day, and there were no weeds. In the distance, more than a dozen wooden houses are scattered and lined up. Huang Yuchen looked back, the wooden door behind him had been closed, and the entire wooden door sealed the road, with a width of about ten zhang.
The whole cottage is located in this basin, a flat terrain, not too big, and a hundred feet in circumference. But there were no trees, contrasting with the towering trees on the side. Seeing this, Huang Yuchen felt a little relieved.
Directly facing the mountain gate is a large wooden house, which looks like the residence of the chief. There are several people in animal skins around, each busy. Huang Yuchen's arrival did not disturb others, but he just worked on his own, as if it was normal.
"It's all in, don't you put down the knife yet?" Huang Yuchen was looking around with a big knife, only to hear a voice coming, Huang Yuchen looked back, and the young man who had just been talking to Zhao Bin at the head of the city jumped down from the city wall, and came to the two of them in a few steps, and was untying Zhao Bin's rope at the moment.
Huang Yuchen put down the big knife he was carrying, but his hand did not leave the hilt, standing in the middle of the square, still looking around.
This small village is self-contained, there are people on the edge who are farming, and as far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of people, and all the people you see are no more than thirty.
"You're still not at ease. The young man untied Zhao Bin's rope and said to Huang Yuchen: "If I really want to harm you, can I still let you in and show you everything?"
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he smiled, and now it seems that this village is indeed not as sparse as it looks from the outside, but it is unexpectedly peaceful.
"Brother Zhao, you don't look like a bandit's village, but like a village. Huang Yuchen opened his mouth to relieve his embarrassment.
"A bandit is a bandit, but in the deep mountains and old forests, there is no thief. It's just self-sufficient. Zhao Bin took down the rope coiled on his body, smiled at Huang Yuchen, turned his head suddenly, and slapped the young man's head, very hard, with a "snap".
The young man was in pain, and with an oops, he took two steps back, sat on the ground, covered his head, and shouted, "Why are you hitting me!"
"Rabbit cub, you see that you are going to heaven!" Zhao Bin still didn't understand his hatred, and took another step forward, and he was about to fight.
"I was wrong! I was wrong!" Seeing this, the young man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Chief, I was wrong, don't fight!" ”
"Bunny. Zhao Bin smiled angrily, and when he saw the young man asking for mercy, he no longer moved forward, but said to Huang Yuchen: "Let Brother Ma laugh." ”
