"Ye Congwen sailed the boat too fast, and I was afraid of water at that time. He flew directly to many places with fast currents, including people and the boat. At that time, I didn't even dare to open my eyes. How could I still remember the route?"
Yu Yueyue blushed and argued, feeling regretful in her heart. If she had known that such a day would come, she would have remembered the route no matter how scary she was.
"There is a division of labor in Tieta Village. The giants of the Flower and Leaf Tribes hunt and gather wild fruits. We, the Wood Tribe, are responsible for repairing bridges and houses, sewing clothes and growing vegetables. When I grew up, I followed Brother Wen to the Hundred Beasts Mountain twice."
Mudou Ya reluctantly replied, before he had no power to restrain the chicken, how could he dare to seek death in this dangerous mountain range of beasts?
Lin Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and was quite speechless towards these two people. I had to make up my own mind and guide slowly:
"Think about it carefully, what's special about the waterway we took into the mountains last time? Are there more sections with fast currents or sections with slow currents?"
“There are many gentle sections.”
Yu Yueyue answered with certainty, clearly remembering that Ye Congwen forced herself to sing at that time.
"When did it start getting urgent? About what time."
"After daybreak, it should be about the same as now. Yes, it was at this time that Ye Congwen drove the boat over several waterfalls in succession. For almost an hour, it was all very fast!"
Yu Yueyue remembered that she had been holding on to the two ropes at that time and did not even dare to open her eyes.
"Here we have the direction! We have finished walking on the gentle road now. Next, we will find the road with fast currents and go forward for an hour, and we will naturally find the route."
Lin Xiaoyu laughed three times and felt that she really had the style of a big sister, staying calm in times of crisis and turning the tide. She would definitely be a good hand at handling household chores in the future! A pair of smart eyes looked around Yu Mu and the two, and felt that there would definitely be an opportunity for him to show off his skills in the future.
"Xiaoyu, please keep your voice down. The iron-billed goshawk is here to eat people's brains. Don't attract it."
Yu Yueyue knew that Lin Xiaoyu was being embarrassed in front of her, and was afraid that she would get carried away and ignore her own safety, so she couldn't help but remind her.
"Why do I feel that the roads are all gentle? Ten days ago he took me, and I leaned on the side of the awning boat so gently. I didn't become nervous until I reached the dangerous cliff and deep stream area. And that's because there are Iron-billed goshawks and scimitar fish appeared. Everything was smooth and steady along the way."
Mudouya put forward a different opinion. He was almost mesmerized by the scenery along the way. If there were rapids or waterfalls and cliffs, how could Ye Congwen not remind me?
Lin Xiaoyu was poured cold water on the bean sprouts, like a frosted eggplant, and asked with a sad face:
"Which one of you two is telling the truth?"
Both Yu Mu said they were right. Lin Xiaoyu had no choice but to try one by one. If Yu Yueyue's route was wrong, he would replace it with pigeon sprouts. He couldn't waste it here.
It's a pity that they didn't know that Ye Congwen deliberately led Yu Yueyue around in circles last time because he was afraid that Yu Yueyue would know about his treasure mountain. After all, they just met for the first time at that time, and Yu Yueyue came to seek revenge.
Ye Congwen took Yu Yueyue to the tidal flat with fast currents, and walked around for dozens of miles. Now if he was asked to come back and walk again, he couldn't remember it.
The three of them followed Yu Yueyue's route several times, but finally returned without success. Pigeon pea sprouts see the sun setting in the west
, guessing that it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, I had to let Lin Xiaoyu go back.
Mudou Ya thought about it and decided to tell the old clan leader about the matter and let the giants of the Hua and Ye clans go out. Hundreds of people searching together would definitely be faster than three headless flies.
When it was almost dark, the three of them returned to Tieta Village. At a glance, they saw two boats parked in the river, with the "Lin" flag and the "Yu" flag flying.
Lin Xiaoyu and Yu Yueyue looked at each other and knew that it was the ships of Lin Mansion and Yu Mansion, and most likely they were here to take them back.
Mudouya took Yu and Lin to the ancestral hall of the Huaye clan. As expected, it was very lively. Everyone was changing glasses and encouraging each other to drink.
"Grandpa, are you here?"
Lin Xiaoyu's sharp eyes saw Lin Chen sitting next to a tall old man with white hair and white beard. He guessed that this might be Ye Wudi, the old patriarch of Tieta Village, and quickly stepped forward to greet him:
"Happy New Year to Invincible Grandpa! Xiaoyu wishes you a happy New Year!"
Ye Wudi agreed with a smile and looked at Lin Chen, only to hear Lin Chen introduce happily:
"My granddaughter Lin Xiaoyu has been lively and playful since she was a child. When she was in the apprentice camp, she often went to the mountains with Ye Congwen to dig for elixirs and pick wild fruits. They were more brother and sister than brother and sister. During the Chinese New Year, she even sneaked to Tieta Village to play with Ye Congwen. , you have three brothers in your family, are they no better than Ye Congwen alone?"
"The three of them are very boring. It's not as fun as following Brother Wen up the mountain and down the river."
"Haha! Our Tieta Village has nothing else but mountains and deep water. Wild fruits, game, fish, and fresh food are everywhere. As long as you are willing to catch them, you can come here every day!"
Ye Wudi smiled and replied, secretly praising this little girl for her good nature, without the airs and coquettishness of city people, which was very suitable for him.
Suddenly, Douzhao rushed to Ye Wudi, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in tears:
"Grandpa Patriarch, please find someone to rescue Brother Congwen quickly. Brother Congwen went into the forbidden circle to look for the elixir and has not come back for ten days!"
"What! The forbidden circle?"
Ye Wudi stood up abruptly, his beard and hair bulging, his eyes widened with anger, and he asked with great power:
"I asked you yesterday, didn't you say that Ye Congwen was practicing Kung Fu? Why did he go to the taboo circle again? When did it happen?"
"I deliberately deceived you. Brother Congwen went to the forbidden circle to look for the four-color elixir ten days ago!"
Mudouya was so frightened that she could only tell the whole story from beginning to end, including the scimitar and the strange scales that the two of them had encountered, and the taboo circle that was like spring all year round.
The people present heard it and even forgot to breathe. Anyone with a little experience knew that the forbidden circle was full of dangers, infested by monsters, and extremely dangerous. But when they heard that monster birds and strange scales were everywhere, they all gasped.
"I have been confused since I was young! Why should I risk my life and enter the taboo circle when I can get ready-made tripod-making medicine next semester?"
Lin Chen complained angrily from the side, if he had known about this situation, he would have left him in the Lin Mansion.
"Chief Ye, the top priority is to send people to find Ye Congwen immediately. Ye Congwen is a smart and resourceful man, and he has a four-color cloak to cover his aura. I think if he hides, the monsters will not be able to find him. I agree with Mu. Douya's guess is that his small wooden boat may have been cut off by the scimitar. Without the wooden boat, he would not be able to return by water. It is very likely that he is hiding somewhere now.
He is waiting in a cave for everyone to rescue him.
Without further ado, you might as well plan how to save people. "
Yu Yueyue couldn't bear to see Douya Ya being punished, so she opened her mouth to rescue him. Although she expected that Ye Congwen had entered the depths of the taboo circle, she still wanted to look for him again. There are more than 300 people in Iron Tower Village, and all of them are powerful. Once they are all dispatched, they will be an extremely powerful team.
Ye Wudi looked at the pigeon sprouts kneeling on the ground coldly, and suddenly remembered what happened ten years ago. That was Ye Congwen's mother, Mu Xi, kneeling in front of her, begging him to help her rescue her husband, Ye Wuxian. Are these two father and son destined to have the same fate?
Ten years ago, I rejected Mu Xi's request, causing Ye Congwen to become an orphan. Over the past ten years, I have often regretted my original decision. Will I make the same mistake again now? However, the monsters in the forbidden circle are too powerful. Once they are angered, they will definitely bring genocide to the entire Iron Tower Village in the future!
But could he not save Ye Congwen? That's the person he brought up by himself. It's better not to be a biological grandson than to be a biological grandson.
"Grandpa, you asked me to take people to search for the person. Xiao Congwen also wanted to go to the entire Tieta Village. With two hundred miles of waterway, we can get there in one night."
Ye Rulang stood up and took the initiative to ask for help. Ever since he knew that Ye Congwen went to the apprentice camp to help Tieta Village win the land enfeoffment rights, he was greatly admired.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Congwen is not here, so this New Year's Eve dinner is tasteless! I'm going with Rulang!"
Ye Zhihua suddenly stood up and wanted to go into the mountain to find someone. Suddenly, hundreds of giants stood up, each two or three meters tall, and their words were deafening. They all beat their chests and wanted to go into the mountain to find someone.
Ye Wudi saw that the clan members were in a state of excitement and their fighting spirit was high, and he was deeply afraid that they would cause chaos under the influence of alcohol and others would not be able to save him. After thinking for a moment, he had to say:
"Let's meet at the pier in half an hour. A man from each family will come and we'll set off together. Remember, no matter what happens, you can't break into the taboo circle, do you hear me?"
The giants of the flower and leaf tribes answered loudly, and then hurried back home. There were only some women and children, people from the Mu tribe, and guests from the Yu and Lin families left in the ancestral hall.
"Brother Lin, Third Nephew Yu, I have something urgent to do, so I won't chat with you anymore. When I finish the matter, I will have a drink with you later!"
Ye Wudi was very resolute in his work and wanted to see off the guests immediately so that he could personally direct these young guys to find the person.
"Why are we being so polite? I'll go back right away and ask the people from our Lin Mansion's Grand Master Realm clan to come to Tieta Village to stand by. I'll let you take care of them when the time comes!"
Lin Chen immediately made a decision and decided to stay in Tieta Village tonight and follow these giant men into the mountains to find people.
Uncle Yu on the side opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The strongest fighting force in the Yu family was himself. Last time, he was beaten by a junior from the Lian family and lay down for several days. If you really want to help, I'm afraid it will be a disservice. After all, the giants of the Huaye and Hua tribes are all masters of the Grand Master Realm. If you can't even find them, what use can your Grand Master Realm strength be?
Ye Wudi saw Uncle Yu's embarrassment and quickly refused:
"The giants of the Flower and Leaf Tribes have lived on this mountain for many years and are very familiar with the terrain. If they can't find them, others will have even more hopelessness.
It is inconvenient to work hard during the Chinese New Year, so you should go back and wait for my good news. I have told Ye Congwen's fortune. He is not a short-lived fortune teller. He must be hiding in a cave waiting for us to rescue him. "
