It's too late, it's too late, it's too late. ≈quot;
Piluo Ge kept mumbling something while walking quickly through the forest.
However, in the final analysis, he was just a stroke patient, and due to the excessive blood loss, his body and his mind could not be integrated into one.
At this moment, Pi Luo Ge had nothing else to focus on except rushing.
No matter what, he had to get to Manlong Cave before the Wuman team led by the Tang people fought with Manlong Cave.
Only by helping Manlong defeat this group of Wuman people, will he have the opportunity to return to Cangshan and Erhai to become his second prince.
After the rain in March, the forest was very lively. The most lively thing was the locusts. These new-born locusts with only short fingernails were eager to grow bigger. Every time Pi Luo passed by the leech, these little creatures He tried his best to pull himself up, intending to get closer to Piluo Pavilion. Some leeches fell from the heights decisively, wanting to have an intimate relationship with Piluo Pavilion.
However, the enthusiasm of these little creatures was ultimately misplaced, and they did not fall on Piluo Ge.
Instead, it fell on a lamb whose wool was shaved off.
Pi Luoge watched indifferently as the locusts squirmed on the lamb covered in sheep's blood, loosened the rope around the lamb's legs, and watched the lamb violently go into the forest. He waited for a moment and then took the initiative to step into the forest. A dangerous broadleaf forest.
When Piluo Ge came out from the other side of the broad-leaved forest, he lit a bonfire in the open space, burned his clothes, and then used burning branches to scald the locusts adhering to his body.
As the locusts landed one after another, Pi Luoge stepped on them one by one. The bodies of the locusts exploded, but not much blood appeared.
≈quot;It’s easier for Bo people to use it.≈quot;
Piluoge muttered to himself and put his clothes on the fire to bake. After a while, some more locusts fell out of his clothes and fell into the fire, making a crackling sound.
After making sure that there were no leech in his clothes, Pi Luoge put on his clothes and squatted on the ground for a while.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the broad-leaved forest behind him, so Piluoge looked around and stepped upstream of a small stream.
Wen Huan's footsteps stopped on the other side of the broad-leaved forest, looking at the leaves and the locusts on the branches that were constantly splayed by his arrival. He sighed and finally stopped the Wuman who was rubbing them down.
After all, he still couldn't do such a thing as using live animals as bait to attract locusts.
It is not easy to find a piece of dry Gaosong land in the forest to serve as a camp. Moreover, the further you advance to the southwest, the hotter the climate will be and the number of poisonous insects in the forest will continue to increase.
Fortunately, with the Wuman Ba leading the way, Yunjin and the others could always find a suitable camp and avoid dangerous inedible water sources.
Yun Jin weighed her dry food bag and said to Li Chengxiu: "We can still support it for three days, but we will run out of food in three days."
Li Chengxiu chewed a piece of licorice and said: "We still can't find the Manlong Cave. This is a big problem. Without the Manlong Cave, it will be difficult for us to get out of the jungle of more than 300 miles."
Di Guangsi said: "A Huan has gone to follow Piluo Pavilion. There should be good news."
Yun Jin looked a little sad and shook his head and said: "Pi Luo Ge is busy on his way. If there is any news, it should have been sent a long time ago. Ah Huan has not sent any news yet, which means that this guy Pi Luo Ge is here." Go around in circles.≈quot;
Li Chengxiu said: "According to what they said, this is the territory of the Bai Barbarians. The Wu Barbarians have never set foot here, so they know nothing about it."
t;
Yun Jin was silent for a moment and said: "If there is no news from A Huan before dark, we will abandon Manlong Cave and go straight to Yaozhou."
Li Chengxiu said: "To do this will follow in the footsteps of Zhang Qiu Xiaofang. Zhang Qiu Xiaofang just wanted to rely on the invincible armor of the Tang Dynasty to attack the Cangshan Mountain and the Erhai Lake, and ended up dying without a burial place."
Di Guangsi sighed and said: "When people in the Tang Dynasty talked about Zhangchou Xiaofang, they only said that he was a fool. Now, when we encounter the same problem, we know that many things have no choice at all."
Zhang Qiu Xiaofang didn't know that there was danger behind him. It's a pity that the imperial court issued urging decrees and military orders, not giving him time to explore slowly." After that, he stood up and left the camp.
When Li Chengxiu saw Di Guangsi leaving, he said to Yun Jin: "What do you think Guangsi did to find his beauty?"
Yun Jin stared and said, "Things that Wuman people don't know, Yingren may know."
Li Chengxiu said: "If that beauty knows where the Manlong Cave is, when the Manlong Cave is conquered, I would rather give her the women and children there."
Yun Jin smiled and said: "People know that we don't want women and children, so they are waiting behind us to pick them up."
Li Chengxiu sighed and said: "Speaking of which, people picked up a lot on the road."
While the two were talking, Wen Huan hurried over. He didn't have time to drink water. He drew a circle on the map that Yun Jin drew on the ground, then drank two gulps of water and said to Yun Jin and Li Chengxiu: "ap;quot "It is certain that Manlong Cave is in the south. After all, Jing Piluoge's physical condition does not allow him to take us around a larger thunder circle."
Yun Jin sighed and said: "We have three days to go, we only have three days, we must capture the Manlong Cave."
Wen Huan said worriedly: "The goal is not clear, it is very risky. Also, except for Sheng Luo Pi sending Pi Luo Ge to take him, tens of thousands of people have come here, but there has been no movement. The deeper we go, I It always feels like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us from all directions. This feeling is terrible.≈quot;
Yun Jin gritted his teeth and said: "A bad decision is better than no decision at all. Let's just say that we will start marching south tomorrow."
No one can imagine that behind a group of vicious bandits, there are also a group of strong women.
These women did not want to mix with the bandits.
However, they like to earn money from the bandits.
At the beginning, they just liked to clean up the villages that had been harmed by the bandits, and pick up a few things that the bandits didn't like. As long as they picked up enough, a woman would take the picked-up women and children like ants. Take the things back. The rest of the people continue to follow the footprints of the bandits and continue to pick them up.
As time passed, the bandits began to regard these women as themselves. Some bandits who had robbed a lot of things came up with part of the goods to give to the women, but the women had nothing to exchange.
So, the women used their oldest capital to do business with the bandits.
After two months, the women had more and more goods in their hands, while the good things in the hands of the bandits became less and less.
.
Di Guangsi thought that Ziqi Aguo would strictly prohibit this kind of transaction. As a result, he thought too much. Ziqi Aguo thought that this was the way for women in the southwest to make a living. stop?
Hearing what Ziqi Aguo said, Di Guangsi began to feel sorry for all the things he had given away. In the end, he only touched his hands, hugged his waist, kissed and was numb, which looked extremely stupid.
"Do you know where the Manlong Cave is?" Di Guangsi saw Ziqi Aguo and looked at her pink lips.
Ziqi Aguo was standing by a fire burning pine cones. She was very busy and had no time to pay attention to Di Guangsi. The big pine cones here wrapped the seeds inside very tightly and did not burn or open those armor-like hard ones. scales.
Di Huoguangsi took out a pine cone with open scales from the ashes, knocked it hard on a wooden stick lying on the ground a few times, and the pine nuts inside fell out.
≈quot;It's already March, where did you get such good pine cones?≈quot;
Ziqi Aguo pointed on her finger.
Di Guangsi looked in the direction of Ziqi Aguo's finger and found a group of squirrels jumping on the tree trunks above their heads.
≈quot;You take food from the squirrel's mouth?≈quot;
Ziqi Aguo nodded.
Seeing her indifferent attitude towards him, Di Guangsi began to feel sorry for the good things he had given away. Since the last incident, Ziqi Aguo stopped talking to him.
If he had known that the result of giving the gift would be like this, Di Guangsi would never have acted like a wealthy young man and used money to throw money at Ziqi Aguo, and finally threw her on the bed.
Just when Di Guangsi was silently helping Zi Qi Aguo handle the pine cones, he heard Zi Qi Aguo say: "Manlong Cave is the land of savages, the most ferocious group of people among the white barbarians. They don't farm." Occasionally hunting, most of the time, they do exactly the same thing as you are doing now. So, the surrounding tribes actually hate them.
They also knew that they were not popular, so they built the tribe in a huge cave, which was called Manlong Cave. It was said that Manlong Cave was very deep and could accommodate 100,000 people.≈quot;
Di Huoguangsi shook his head and said, "Don't you people from the southwest brag that you don't even draft a draft? We have surveyed the nearby terrain and finally came to a conclusion. Without farming and being self-sufficient, here is The maximum number of people that the resources can support will not exceed 20,000? This is the conclusion we came to after amplifying, amplifying, and amplifying the survivability of the Manlongdong people.≈quot;
Ziqi Aguo asked curiously: "How did you come to the conclusion?"
Di Guangsi said: "Based on the terrain here, the food distribution range, the density of beasts, and the types of edible plants, the conclusion is drawn after substituting a verified data. Although it may not be very accurate, but, big numbers You can’t go wrong with it.≈quot;
Zi Qi Aguo looked at Di Guangsi and said, "I also heard that there is a river in Manlong Cave. There are many white-striped fish with blind eyes in the river. This kind of white-striped fish is regarded by the people of Manlong Cave as a reward from the gods. In March every year, this kind of fish will emerge from the underground river, and even women and children can catch it easily.
I heard that the dried fish made from this fish can even be used as candles. Every year, Manlong Cave only donates a little bit to King Man.
When you count the number of people, do you include this?≈quot;
Di Guangsi thought for a while and said: "Are you sure that the candle fish in Manlong Cave is just a small amount of tribute, not a transaction?"
p;ap;quot;
Ziqi Aguo thought for a while and said: "I have never heard of such candle fish being exchanged."
Di Huoguangsi waved his hand and said: "That means the number is very small, or it is difficult to capture. I am still very sure that the number of people in Manlong Cave will not exceed 20,000. So, you are so familiar with Manlong Cave, Do you know where it is?≈quot;
Zi Qi Aguo said: "The water in this mountain forest all comes from Manlong Cave. As long as you find any stream or river and go upstream, you will definitely find Manlong Cave."
