Yu Liufei and Luo Feng estimated that it would take several quarters of an hour for Yu Liufei and Luo Feng to go back this time, plus they had to buy things. This trip back and forth would take at least two and a half hours.
Xiao Yu traveled across the ridge to explore, but never found a place where the wind was leaking.
After a few miles, there is a steep cliff on one side of the ridge, standing straight up. No matter how good your Qinggong is, it is difficult to find a place to stay. If you can't explore, you have to give up.
Going up further, when the ridge reaches the peak, there is a forest full of thorns, with thorns on vines and overgrown grass. It is as if there is no sharp sword to clear the way, making it difficult to walk even half a step.
Xiaoyu slashed with his sword a few times, and only walked about ten feet. If he went up with light skills, the section behind the ridge was steep and dangerous. There was almost only a ridge that was about ten feet wide. It was full of thorns and vines, making it impossible to find a place to stay. Location, Xiaoyu had to give up.
Xiao Yu walked all the way down the ridge. It took him about two hours to go up and down.
Seeing that Yu Liufei and Luo Feng hadn't arrived yet, and it was already noon, Xiaoyu felt a little hungry, but he didn't have two packages on his horse, let alone food.
The sun is shining, the spring is warm, and the clothes and pants hanging on the trees are almost dry.
Xiaoyu was bored, so he simply cut a slender bamboo pole with his sword in the bamboo forest on one side of the pool, sharpened one end, and carried it around to the pebble shoal on the other side of the pool, where he zeroed in on a big crucian carp. He went down with the pole, inserted the fish, turned around and went to the rocky cliff, found some bamboo shoot shells and some dead grass, and made a fire to roast it.
After roasting, although there is no salty taste, there is still a bit of fishy smell. After all, it is meat and can be eaten. In those years of hard work with the old man, I ate this stuff a lot.
While Xiao Yu was looking for cooked meat on the burnt fish piece by piece, Yu Liufei and Luo Feng came with people.
Xiaoyu held the bamboo pole with the fish in one hand and dragged it to the ground with the other. He stood up and waved to Yu Liufei and his party.
Yu Liufei ran over quickly, fumbled a few times from his pocket, took out a big pancake, and handed it to Xiaoyu's hand.
Xiao Yu muttered: "Thank you, Brother Yu."
Yu Liufei patted Xiaoyu's shoulder and muttered: "Xiaoyu, please be polite to me. Hurry up and eat. We only came up the mountain after eating."
Xiaoyu wolfed down the pancakes, and the half-cooked fish in his hand was a delicious dish even when his stomach was hungry.
Looking not far away, Luo Feng was not the only one coming. The man walking in front held his head high and walked like a wolf. He had a single sword with a wolfskin sheath on his waist. It didn't look like an ordinary sword, but that man There was nothing majestic about the way he walked. He wore red waisted single-flower trousers and a tight-fitting leather jacket. His long hair was tied into a big ponytail, with a white ribbon tied on his forehead. His long hair was flowing.
"The master of Dao Village is here too?" Xiao Yu swallowed the pancake in her mouth and widened her eyes, "Isn't her brother going to be buried this morning?"
Yu Liufei also looked at Dao Qingqing's ups and downs' stature, swallowed hard, and replied: "It was buried long ago. The village has been cleaned up. I'm just waiting for a few filial piety boys to observe mourning for seven days. Dao Village The Lord heard that you found the Double Ring Pond on this mountain, and said that there were secret tunnels and caves in it, so he ordered people to bring all the equipment for entering the water. He led a group of brothers from the village to come to see what was going on underneath, and even threatened to I want to catch the 'ghost' who killed his brother and hang him to death."
Xiao Yu looked at Luo Feng next to Dao Qingqing. On the other side was a stranger, a brother from the village who also carried a knife.
Looking at the group of them, Luo Feng was the only one wearing armor. He didn't look like a bandit, but like a general in the military camp. At first, they didn't think it was strange that he was wearing armor. Now he and a group of people were wearing coarse clothes. , compared with the bandits who were dressed in weird and weird clothes, Luo Feng looked even less like a bandit.
Xiaoyu asked curiously: "Master of Dao Village, what's wrong, the third master didn't come?"
At this time, Dao Qingqing had already led someone closer and said with a curled lips: "The third child will stay in the nest to guard the house. To avenge the second child, I have to do it myself, his own sister."
"Everything has been taken care of. Little brother, you have eaten too. Let's go and lead the way. Let's go into the water." Dao Qingqing pointed to the water. Dao Qingqing took off his shoes as he said it. As for the rest, There was no movement at all. After all, her whole body was just for diving. After Dao Qingqing finished speaking, he pointed at a few village bandits with knives behind him and said loudly: "Take off your outer clothes to make it easier to dive. After entering the water, you will be smarter." Come on, bring the knife with you. If you get into a fight, don’t embarrass me."
Half of the bandits in the group behind began to take off their shoes and coats, and then replied loudly: "Follow the command of the leader of the village."
Xiao Yu felt that it would be inappropriate if she stripped down to just a pair of underpants like she did just now. After all, the owner of the sword village was a woman, so Xiao Yu simply took off her coat.
Yu Liufei had no intention of getting into the water. After all, Xiao Yu knew that Yu Liufei was not good at water, and Luo Feng was also standing motionless on one side.
Xiaoyu frowned and looked at the two of them, then looked at Luo Feng and said, "What? Brother Luo, my brother Yu doesn't know the nature of water, and you don't know the nature of water either?"
Luo Feng cupped his fists and said: "Brother Xiaoyu, I'm sorry. It's true that the water is not good. Our village owner is good at water. She will follow you down. As for the water pool, Brother Liu Fei and I will bring a few brothers from the village to give it to you. Guard it."
"Let's go, stop mumbling and get in the water!" Dao Qingqing has a perfect figure, but her temperament is like that of a rough old man. She turned to Luo Feng and said: "Luo Weichang, if there is really a way down there, Their secret passage in the back mountain, I don’t believe that the death of the second child has nothing to do with the people of their demon sect. If we go down and don’t come out, you can go back and tell the third child, and bring people to bring Xuantian Sect to death. , if you can’t beat me, give me a sneak attack, and kill a few of them from time to time to avenge us!”
Luo Feng nodded solemnly, "Follow the village master's instructions."
Xiaoyu Sword and Dao Qingqing's sword were placed on a large piece of oil paper, wrapped, tied, tied with a hemp rope, and handed over to a water-based expert who carried things in.
After Dao Qingqing finished speaking, she jumped into the water, followed closely by Xiao Yu.
As for the other five bandits who were familiar with water, they followed them. They wrapped the prepared torches in oil paper and prepared a small box. They packed the things they were going to bring in one by one, then closed the box and put it on After grabbing the buckle, they also threw their knives inside.
The box was thrown into the water, and a few stones were tied around the outside to make it easier for it to sink. Then five people went into the water, cut a few pieces and threw them away, so that the box could be easily dragged in the water. These commonly used underwater operations are extremely skilled for the Daojiazhai bandits who live by the river.
Xiao Yu and Dao Qingqing had already swam to the dark pool. There was no one behind them. The two of them opened the way and tied the rope to the box. The other three followed closely behind, and they all reached the dark pool inside the mountain.
Xiao Yu and Dao Qingqing swam up close to the rock wall, holding on to the unexpected rocks. They were still in the water and did not swim around. After all, they could not see anything inside. If they swam around, they would not be able to find the direction.
All they had to do was hold on to the unexpected rocks and wait for the five people below to come up.
underwater.
A few bandits cut off the wooden box tied with stones, and the wooden box surfaced. The five of them were very good at water. They quickly opened the floating wooden box, opened it, and took out a separate package to explore. The torches on the road were blown and lit.
A bandit who was good at water held a torch and illuminated the entire dark pool.
