"Master Dao, there's really no need to be in such a hurry, right? In the past two days, we have been riding a carriage and a boat, and now we are climbing over the mountain with both feet. Apart from eating, we can't even sleep for three hours. Master, I really can't bear it. La!"
Qiu Chongxi thought he could endure hardships, but he didn't expect these three men to rush on the road as if they were being chased by monsters. At the end of the day, he couldn't even eat safely, so he just sat on the ground with water and dry food. Just a meal. At dawn in the morning, I got up and continued on my way.
According to Qiu Chongxi's judgment, the journey that normally takes about ten days should now arrive in less than eight days.
It's not that Qiu Chongxi really can't bear the hardship, but he is really curious about why the other party has to rush in such a hurry, even though he has told these three people more than once on the road that Daomen Village in Queershan has ceased to exist in name only, and there is no defense at all. Ability, there is no benefit to be gained. But it still can't change the other party's eagerness to find Daomen Village.
What is this for?
"Can't handle it? Haha, don't play tricks with us. You are paid to do things, and we are the employers. The employers don't even complain about being tired. What are you saying? When the things are done, you can rest as you like."
Qiu Chongxi just talked about it, but he didn't dare to go against these people. So keep your feet on the ground. Then Qiu Chongxi said: "Master Dao, there are not many people in the village. You guys really don't want me to be an internal agent. Just find a few hard-hitting experts to rush in directly. It's not enough trouble to find me to figure it out." money."
"You don't have to worry about whether it's worth it or not. Since you are short of money and took over our errand, you have to do it well."
"Okay, I just follow Master Dao's instructions. But it's hard to say whether it will work or not."
Another thing that surprised Qiu Chongxi was the so-called "internal response" that these three people asked him to do on the road. It was completely incomprehensible to Qiu Chongxi. But it was much less dangerous for him. Because in the end things were not difficult, he just didn't understand why the other party did what he did.
After rushing all the way, Qiu Chongxi finally returned to the place where he had stayed and sacrificed his life for more than two years on the morning of the eighth day.
Along the way, especially after entering the Yuzhong Mountains, the winding trails in the mountains were like walking in a maze. Rao has also studied the means of finding traces, but it is very difficult to successfully find the correct way to Queer Mountain from the vast mountains.
Even if you see Queer Mountain later, if you want to go up the mountain, you still have to go through the mountains and forests to find the easiest way to climb. Otherwise, it will still be difficult to climb up.
The word "Daomen" in the so-called "Daomen Village" comes from the fact that at the entrance of the village, there are two strange rocks that cross and rise up, forming a natural arch. From a distance, it looks like two machetes. Knife gate.
There is also a strange and dangerous blade protrusion on the top of the mountain.
"That's Dao Cliff over there! Standing on Dao Cliff and looking down, you can see all the paths that can go up the mountain. The mountain is so dangerous at night that it's impossible to go up anywhere except the front mountain path. As for the concealment of the village, Daomen Village is definitely one of the best places in the Yuzhong Mountains.
Moreover, there is a downhill ropeway on the back mountain. As long as you throw down the rope, you can quickly get out of the mountain. I also heard about this secret before I left the mountain. "
"Where is the otherworld you mentioned?"
"It's also in the back mountain, which is a sunken place under Dao Cliff. You can't see it from the bottom of the mountain. It has an inward slope like the mountain of Que'er Mountain. It can not only be used for building houses, but also can be reclaimed. Grow things. In fact, when the business in the village was unsustainable, most of the food rations were grown on the land there. It’s just that most people in the village can’t live such a miserable life. They really have to live such a life. Who will be the thief?
Now it is not accurate to say that those who are still in the mountains are bandits. "
"Okay, we will wait for you here. We hope to get good news from you in three days."
Qiu Chongxi nodded helplessly. Then he took a big bundle from the opponent's hand, and then followed the path in his memory and went straight through the sword gate and into the village.
To be honest, the more Qiu Chongxi walked up, the more his calves trembled. If he hadn't been emboldened by the burden he carried, he would never have dared to come back here. After all, he was not very benevolent when he betrayed the village, and he could not live with it. At the same time, the remaining people in the village were not really as "docile" as he just said, and they were just doing the same thing as "farmers" That's it, temperament is two different things.
Sure enough, as soon as Qiu Chongxi entered the village gate, an arrow was shot at his feet with a loud sound, and it pierced into the ground for about two inches. The tail of the arrow was still buzzing and trembling, as if it was still trying to drill in, which shows how powerful it was.
"Don't do it! Don't do it! It's me! Qiu Chongxi!" The arrow was pierced in front of him. The shock of being separated from life and death in an instant made Qiu Chongxi sit down on the ground in shock. He crawled with his legs and moved back a few feet before he dared to stand up. At the same time, he announced his origin loudly.
"Humph! Chef Qiu! I knew it was you, otherwise the arrow just now would have been shot into your eyeball!"
A contemptuous voice sounded, and at the same time, a young man carrying a quiver and a long bow walked out of the forest on the edge. He was no more than thirty years old. He was wearing short clothes and his hair was tied back. He looked at Qiu Chongxi. His expression was unkind.
"It turns out to be Brother Nie. I haven't seen you for more than two years. Brother Nie's archery skills are almost as good as those of Mr. Six! Just now, I was almost scared to the point of peeing. Haha."
"Bah! Qiu Chongxi, you bitch, you betrayed the village back then and you still have the nerve to come back now?"
"Brother Nie, don't talk nonsense. I, Qiu Chongxi, didn't betray the village back then. I just couldn't support my mother-in-law and children in the village, so I had no choice but to find another way out. Now that I'm back, I have something important to report to the village master, but I dare not Delayed.”
"The village leader doesn't have time to see you, a traitor. If I don't kill you, I'm going to spare your life. Get out of here!"
"Brother Nie, I really didn't talk nonsense. I really have something important to report to the village leader!" After a pause, Qiu Chongxi took out a wooden box from the bag on his back and threw it to the other side.
"Brother Nie, this is the proof. It proves that I, Lao Qiu, am not coming back this time to act crazy."
The young man did not catch the wooden box thrown by Qiu Chongxi with his hands, and let it fall to the ground, and even jumped a few steps away.
Snap!
The wooden box broke a hole on the ground, and some of the contents fell out. It was golden, and it turned out to be pieces of gold! If it were all gold pieces, there would probably be ten pieces in this box.
"Qiu Chongxi, what do you mean?" The young man's eyes visibly shrank, but he still did not pick up the box on the ground. But the verbal contempt was obviously much less. On the contrary, he was a little more suspicious.
Qiu Chongxi knew that there were indeed twelve gold tablets in the box. At first, when he was told that such a large amount of money would be used as a stepping stone, he was jealous for a while. But judging from the change in the opponent's attitude, this trick does work.
"Brother Nie, these things are a gift from a big boss to the village master. In addition to these gifts, the big boss also asked me to bring them to the village master in person. If the village master feels that there is something to talk about after hearing this, then Let’s talk. If the leader of the village doesn’t care, then let’s give up. I hope Brother Nie can pass the news on his behalf so as not to miss anything.”
The young man looked at the gold tablets on the ground, then at Qiu Chongxi, and finally put the box away.
"You wait here!"
