And after the four of Yi Dan had walked across the suspension bridge halfway up the mountain, the suspension bridge was cut by someone sent by Yang Dinh Yi, Ruan Zhilong's junior brother who had followed them all the way. At this time, Ruan Zhilong and Yang Tingyi are also carrying out a big operation, and they are currently in full swing. They only need to trap Yi Dan and the others on the mountain for a day before they can set a big deal.

Xu Gui, who was walking in front, saw from a distance that the suspension bridge in front of him had broken off the cliff. So he hurried forward, looked at the precipitous cliff in front of him, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Yi Dan and the three of them ran up, looked at the scene in front of them and said in disbelief: "Mr. Xu, may I ask what is going on? Why did this suspension bridge suddenly break?"

Xu Guidao: "I don't know, I came to save it and saw that it was already like this." ”

Yi Dan asked Gu Xiaofeng: "Brother Xiaofeng, didn't you say that the bridge has not been crossed for hundreds of years, why did it suddenly break off?"

Xiaofeng said: "I don't know, on this sunny day, there is no wind or rain, how can it be broken?"

Yi Dan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that someone deliberately sabotaged it?" ”

"Deliberately, wouldn't you? Who would do such a thing?" Gu Xiaofeng said suspiciously.

"Brother Xiaofeng, have you offended anyone recently?" Yi Dan asked.

"No, I've always been friendly with my fellow villagers and elders, and I've never offended anyone, at most, I've only occasionally fought a few pirates at sea. Could it be that the pirates came ashore to take revenge on me? Unlikely, right?" Gu Xiaofeng said.

Speaking of this, Youming suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, I remembered." ”

"Senior brother, what do you remember?" Yi Dan asked.

Youming said: "Yesterday, Brother Xiaofeng was worshipping his ancestors, and you entered the temple again. I seem to have seen our pirates on the street. ”

Yi Dan said: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell us at that time?"

"There were so many people and they were so far away that I couldn't be sure if it was them. But at that time, I told Brother Xiaofeng, and Brother Xiaofeng said that those pirates were all repelled by us, and it was unlikely that they would come to Wenchang so soon, so I didn't pay much attention to them. Youming said.

Xiaofeng said: "Brother Youming is right, there was indeed such a thing yesterday, but I didn't care too much. Could it really be that the pirates are back?"

Xu Gui said: "Oh no, if it's really them, it's going to be troublesome." ”

"That's right, if it's them, they're trapping us here, what do you think they want?" Yi Dan said.

Youming's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Could it be? Ransacking the village?"

Xu Guidao: "I think it's very likely. Since they are pirates, this kind of thing is very likely to happen. ”

Yi Dan said: "How good is this? I think it is better to let me take the broken suspension bridge rope, fly over, and connect it?"

Youming: "No, senior sister, the rope of this suspension bridge is too heavy, you can't hold it at all, but you will be dragged down the cliff by it." ”

When Gu Xiaofeng heard this, he was so anxious that he was about to cry: "What should I do? I want to go home immediately, my mother is still at home." ”

"Brother Xiaofeng, don't worry, are you familiar with this mountain? Think about it, are there any other roads down the mountain?" Yi Dan asked.

Xiao Feng thought for a while and said, "Although this mountain is gentle, it is all overgrown with thorns. The only place where there are no thorns, but it is a cliff, and there is no way to go along. ”

Yi Dan said: "It's strange, why don't these mountains next to it have thorns, but only this mountain has thorns?"

Xiaofeng said: "I heard from the elders that it is rumored that when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty sent Fubo General Ma to regain Jiaozhi and Qiongya, a copper drum was lost on this mountain. Later generations are said to have this bronze drum, but the town house can pray for blessings and safety. So the people of Qiongya Island came to this mountain to look for the bronze drum. It is said that at that time, this mountain was thousands of zhang high, but for a long time, it was trampled by people who came to find the copper drum and only left more than 100 zhang. In order to prevent this holy mountain from being flattened, the people under the mountain blocked the people who came to look for the bronze drum with thorns all over the mountain. After that, people called this mountain range 'Tonggu Ridge'. ”

Xu Gui said: "Hey, I think back then, the Han and Ma aid generals, and the recovery of the Han Dynasty, are really heroes through the ages. Do you say that if his spirit in heaven knows that the world is now divided and all the princes have their own ghosts, will he feel sad and sad for these future generations who are not angry?"

You Ming said: "I have also read history books and know some things about General Ma Yuan. It is said that he once said, 'If a man wants to die on the border, he only needs to return the horse leather shroud'. Throughout the ages, how many heroes and soldiers who galloped on the battlefield were deeply inspired by General Ma's words, and for the sake of their family and country, they went to the soup and fire, and regarded death as home. General Ma is indeed a great hero who will go down in history. I'll just say, this mountain name is so strange, it turns out that there is such a magical story that is closely related to General Ma. ”

Xiao Feng said: "Yes, that's how the name of this Tongguling comes from. In fact, there is a stone slope over there, there are no thorns, but there is a cliff below, and there is no road at all. ”

Yi Dan said: "The cliff is not afraid, after all, we are all a little light." As long as it's not too high. ”

Xiao Feng pointed to the other side and said, "It's over there, I'll take you over." ”

Gu Xiaofeng took Yi Dan and the three of them to the cliff in the east. I saw a straight cliff, steep but not too high. Underneath the cliffs, however, is a very gentle and thornless stone slope. Follow the slope all the way down the mountain.

Yi Dan said: "I understand, it turns out that this steep mountain is standing steeply from the gentle mountain below, as long as we fly down with light power, we should be able to go back along the slope." ”

Xiaofeng said: "Sister Yi, I'm sorry, if you want to say that you are stupid and heavy, I can do it, but I am really not good at light work." ”

Youming said: "Then why don't we find some rattans and tie them to the big tree, let's pull the rattans, and then use light skills to go down?"

Xu Gui said: "Well, this is a good way, I'll go find rattan." ”

I saw Xu Gui pick up the tiger stick and go to the woods to find rattan, You Ming shouted: "Mr. Xu, wait for me, your stick is not easy to use, or I use a sword to cut it." ”

Xiaofeng said: "And me, I'll go find rattan together." ”

The three of them went to cut rattan, and Yi Dan stayed alone at the cliff. She surveyed the terrain around her, and found one that was the shortest and relatively flat below.

At this time, the three of Youming really cut down a large number of vines, and everyone worked together to make a strong rattan rope and tie it to a big tree.

Yi Dan said to the three of them, "I'll go down to investigate the situation first, and I'll meet you down in a while." ”

Youming nodded and said, "Okay, senior sister, you must be careful." ”

Xu Gui: "Yes, Miss Yi, you must be careful." ”

"That's right, Sister Yi, be careful. There may be poisonous snakes and beasts below. Gu Xiaofeng said.

"It's okay, this little height doesn't bother me. With that, Yi Dan picked up the sword in his hand, and without even touching the rattan, he performed light skills and flew down the cliff.

Yi Dan slowly fell to the stone below, and it was indeed easy. After landing, she surveyed the terrain around her, and found that the descent from here was like a slightly sloping avenue, and she turned to pull the hanging rattan with all her might. After trying to make it fruitful, Yi Dan shouted to the people above: "I have come down safely, the bottom is very flat, you can go down the mountain, you all come down one by one." ”

Xiaofeng responded: "Yi, sister, you get out of the way first, I'll drop the stick first." ”

After hearing this, Yi Dan hid far away, Xiaofeng threw down the big iron rod of more than 300 catties, and the stick fell on a big branch, and the branches were broken into two pieces by this heavy stick.

Several people slowly slid down from the rattan, and after a while, they all landed safely.

After landing, Gu Xiaofeng said: "That's right, you can go down the mountain along here, let's go back quickly." ”

After that, Xiaofeng took everyone down the gentle hillside.

Xiaofeng was anxious, he was worried about the safety of his mother and Gu Jiazhen's blind date, and rushed to the front.

When they returned to the coconut trees where the horses had been tethered, they found that the horses were gone.

"Senior sister, our horse seems to be gone. Youming said.

"It seems that someone is really deliberately causing trouble, let's be careful. ”

"What should I do? Without a horse, how can I go back to save my mother?" Xiao Feng was in a hurry, when suddenly a carriage came on the road ahead, carrying a lot of rice.

Xiaofeng was overjoyed, hurriedly rushed forward, stopped the carriage and asked, "Uncle, can I borrow your carriage?"

The old man who drove the car: "No, I don't know you, why should I borrow your carriage?" I want to rush to Chungmi, please get out of the way." ”

When Xiaofeng heard this, he said happily: "It's just right, I'm the one who is the rice, you look at the stick in my hand." ”

The old man looked carefully at the stick in Gu Xiaofeng's hand and said, "That's right, it's indeed a rice stick, but what does this have to do with me?"

Xiaofeng said: "Let's take your carriage, you pull the rice to my house, how about I give you rice for free?"

The old man asked, "Where is your house?"

Xiaofeng: "It's in Gujia Town." ”

"Gujia Town, it's so far away, it's almost close to the county seat. If I don't go, I have a water mill near here, so why should I go so far?" said the old man.

Gu Xiaofeng, who was in a hurry, angrily stomped the rice stick on the ground and said, "The situation is urgent, you have to go if you don't go, I'm offended." ”

After that, he jumped into the carriage and said to Yi Dan and the others, "Sister Yi, you all come up quickly." ”

"What are you doing here, you want to rob?" The old man saw that several people were holding weapons, and his face turned blue with fright.

Yi Dan said to the old man with some embarrassment: "Uncle, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, but when we encounter some urgency, our horse has been stolen, do you want to ask for help?"

After listening to Yi Dan's words and Yan Yuese, the old man relaxed his vigilance a little and said, "Okay, you all asked me for help like this, can I not help? ”

Yi Dan took the sword and arched his hand: "Thank you, uncle! ”

With that, several people jumped into the carriage and rushed all the way to Gujia Town. (To be continued.) )
