Chen Xiaobei kept thinking about Yang Chun's unfinished sentence. It was obvious that Da Laohei deliberately interrupted Yang Chun's words, which also meant that Da Laohei didn't want him to know too much.
This is a bit interesting. The three groups of people are all heading towards Qingniu Mountain, but what is on this mountain?
If there really is any treasure on the mountain, then why doesn’t anyone in Hetou Village know anything about it?
Obviously, Chen Xiaobei didn't have a God's perspective on the current situation, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.
But one thing he knows very well is that these three waves of people should belong to different factions, or they have united long ago to come together to find him.
Since they belong to different factions, they have to be careful in the future. If any two of them meet, it will probably be a bloody storm. When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive alone.
In this way, not only can the two parties not meet, but neither party can even know that he is also in contact with the other two families.
If this is the case, no one of them can be allowed to blatantly enter the village to look for themselves in the future.
There is no airtight wall in the world. If you walk around like this, something will happen sooner or later.
So how to establish a smooth connection with this group of people without being known to more villagers is a difficult problem that needs to be carefully considered and pondered.
Especially Da Lao Hei, he must go underground.
After understanding this, Chen Xiaobei finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep.
I don't know how long he slept for, but Chen Xiaobei was gently pushed awake.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Yang Chun in front of him, "Brother, hurry up the tree, there are wild beasts in the distance."
After waking him up, Yang Chuncai howled, "Everyone, wake up."
As he shouted, everyone present opened their eyes.
Some people were obviously still half asleep, looking at Yang Chun in confusion.
"Everyone, hurry up and climb the tree." Da Laohei waved his hand, and without saying a word, everyone turned around and hugged the tree closest to them, and climbed up as fast as possible.
Chen Xiaobei took the bag next to him, carried it on his back, and then hurriedly climbed up the tree.
After climbing to more than two feet in one breath, Chen Xiaobei stopped.
It didn't take much effort, but a few pairs of small bright spots appeared in the distance. When he saw these bright spots, Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat.
Why is it a wolf again?
Come to think of it, how could there be only those eleven wolves in Qingniu Mountain within a radius of several hundred miles?
Not many wolves came, only three.
It seems that wolves are quite afraid of fire. Because of the presence of fire, they don't dare to get too close. They just circle in a circle from a distance, while circling, they also urinate from time to time. I don't know. This has several meanings.
After turning around for a few times, the three wolves unexpectedly turned around and ran away.
This made Chen Xiaobei a little confused. Shouldn't he howl a few times and call his companions?
Seeing the wolves walking away, Yang Chun was the first to jump off the tree. This move made Chen Xiaobei a little worried. What if the wolves came back?
"Okay, brothers, come down, it's okay."
"Brother Yang, do you think the wolf won't come back?" Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but ask.
Yang Chun smiled calmly, "At least it won't come tonight, and we can have a peaceful sleep."
"Why?" Chen Xiaobei was a little confused.
"These three wolves should have separated from the pack. If they had companions, they would have called them over by howling. But they left without saying a word, which means that there are no companions nearby at all, and where are the three of them? We were not sure how to deal with so many of us, so we withdrew first."
After listening to Yang Chun's analysis, Chen Xiaobei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, at least I can have a good night's sleep.
Although Yang Chun said it so casually, he was actually very careful and left two people on guard.
Sure enough, everything was normal, and Chen Xiaobei slept until dawn.
Had a quick bite and got ready to go.
After walking out of the dense forest, everyone felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.
The main peak of Qingniu Mountain in the distance is already vaguely visible, and it seems to be only a dozen miles away.
Although it is inaccessible and there are no roads anymore, fortunately, the mountain gradually becomes steeper as you go up, and there are no tall trees anymore, only some low trees.
Seeing these trees, Chen Xiaobei's heart moved. Isn't this dogwood? It's just like the one in Calabash Valley, except that there are more patches here than in Calabash Valley, and it looks better growing.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei staring at these trees, Yang Chun next to him couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiaobei, what are these?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "This is called Cornus officinalis. If you pick its leaves and boil them in water, it will have a spicy taste."
"Oh, the restaurants in the city can make spicy dishes, do they add this thing?" Yang Chun couldn't help but sigh.
This sentence reminded Chen Xiaobei, yes, he remembered that he had read history books and found that the leaves of Dogwood were used to make spicy seasonings in ancient times.
Yes, dogwood can also be sold for money, but I was negligent.
Hearing Chen Xiaobei's reply, Da Laohei was also a little surprised. He stepped forward and looked at Cornus officinalis and couldn't help laughing.
"Remember this place. Let's pick some to take back when we go down the mountain later, so we don't have to go to the city to buy them."
Not bad, he is a big village owner who knows how to live a good life.
We continued walking forward, about three miles, and there was no suspense further up. A road went straight up to the top.
Looking at the mountain peaks that towered almost into the clouds, Chen Xiaobei sat on a stone next to him and said, "Master of the Dazhai, I will wait for you here. You can go up the mountain by yourself. I really have no strength."
Da Laohei looked up at the mountain peak not far away, then turned to look at Xiong Fei and Hou Liu. Finally he laughed, "Brother Xiaobei, we are almost at the top of the mountain now. Why don't you go up and walk?" Don’t you feel it’s a pity to go there?”
Chen Xiaobei said in his heart: What's a pity? What's a pity for me? I don't want to come to the mountain at all. It's you who forced me to do it.
"Master Dazhai, I also want to go up the mountain, but I really can't walk. I have to save some strength, otherwise we have to go down the mountain."
After all, Yang Chun was the master of the situation and stood up to smooth things over, "Master Dazhai, since brother Xiaobei can't walk anymore, let him rest here."
After saying that, he winked at Da Lao Hei. Of course Da Lao Hei understood in his heart. He nodded, "In that case, brother Xiaobei will rest here. By the way, Yang Chun, please stay with two people." Protect Brother Xiaobei."
Chen Xiaobei also understood that the word "protection" also meant surveillance. If he took the opportunity to run back and cut the two ropes, it would be a lot of trouble for Da Lao Hei and the others to go back again.
