Everyone knew that Qiao Qie'er was richer than them. They had seen it in the secret room on Horseshoe Island. He had a million taels of cash in hand, and some of the things packed in the secret room seemed to be worth a lot of money.
Qiao Qie'er, who came here, noticed something was wrong, especially when she saw Nanzhu running away. The fat man often said bad things, and even though they had only been together for a short time, she was already used to it.
She came over and asked, "Isn't there enough money?"
Yu Qing wanted to deny it, but he knew that as long as those two guys refused to pay, he would not be able to deny it. Moreover, even if those two people paid, the travel expenses to the Yin country might not be enough.
It should have been enough without Qiao Qier, but with the addition of personal travel expenses, it is indeed quite difficult.
He had no choice but to say: "I don't want to be an outsider with you anymore. You are not a rich man, just barely."
Qiao Qie'er immediately opened his pocket, took out a stack of banknotes, and gave them all to him, "That's almost all my cash."
Yu Qing took it and said, "Well, I'll pay you back twice as much later when I have money."
"Return?" Qiao Qie'er asked back, staring at him quietly, her bright eyes flashing with a hint of anger. After Yu Qing realized that she had said the wrong thing, she reminded him softly, "I'm yours too. .”
The implication is simple, there is nothing between you and me that we have not yet repaid, even me is yours.
Understand, understand, Yu Qing immediately became happy, put the banknote in his arms, and reached out to give her a hug again.
Come again? Qiao Qie'er was a little startled, quickly retreated and looked around. Sure enough, she saw Nan Zhu and Mu Aotie watching on the hillside. Seeing that she had noticed, the two big men immediately turned their heads and pretended not to have seen her.
She also turned around and left...
Rift Valley Villa is located in the western region of Yin State.
The road was desolate and sparsely populated. After a group of four people emerged from the road between the two mountains, they stopped their mounts, and the mounts were breathing heavily.
Looking around, there is a vast expanse of green, and the vast land is filled with green plants, including grapes.
Grapes are the main business of Rift Valley Villa, which is used to brew grape wine. Rift Valley Villa is also one of the largest grape wine brewers in the Yin Kingdom, and it is also a rare family sect in the spiritual world.
At the end of the plain full of green plants, there is a huge mountain. From a distance, there seems to be a crack in the middle of the grassless mountain, as if it has been forcibly torn apart. It is a miraculous work of nature.
And that crack was once called the Golden Valley in ancient times, and it is also the origin of the name "Rift Valley Villa" today.
"Let's go." Yu Qing greeted him, and then he rode down the slope.
Nanzhu, Mu Aotie, and Qiao Qieer rushed down together.
The group rushed onto the road in the middle of the grape growing fields. People on both sides who were combing the fruit plants stood up from time to time to look at them. It could be said that there were people constantly coming to see them off.
On the way here, when they approached this place, the three brothers had already explored this place. This place seemed dry, but in fact many underground culverts were excavated underground. The melted snow water from the snowy mountains in the distance was constantly poured into the ground through the ground. Here, the crops here are nourished.
Qiao Qie'er didn't know why they came here, but he could see that the places they were looking for had one thing in common, which was the Grand Canyon.
It is said that the Rift Valley Villa is at the foot of the mountain near the Rift Valley.
The so-called "looking at the mountains and running away from the horse" means that the distance is not far away, but it does take some time to run.
After arriving at the archway similar to a mountain gate, the three brothers stopped their mounts almost at the same time.
The movements of the three people were without warning, causing Qiao Qier to run under the archway before stopping. Looking back at the three people, she felt that their reactions were abnormal.
Four words are carved on the tall archway: Rift Valley Villa.
The problem is that there are carvings on the archway. On both sides of the four characters, there are cloud patterns. Each of the cloud patterns has a special pattern, which is a halberd!
It's a single-edged halberd, set off by clouds.
The three brothers looked at each other, and almost all had the same picture in their minds, the content on the jade page in Xiaoyunjian's iron house: Golden Valley, Halberd Holder.
Regardless of whether it is a family or a sect, how come they just use the pattern of a halberd as their logo? It looks like this is the family emblem of Rift Valley Villa, otherwise it would be impossible to put such a special logo on both sides of the font size.
And it just so happens that the name of this valley was once called Golden Valley, and a family with a halberd as its emblem appeared. This should not be a coincidence.
The three brothers had the same intuition. The entrance to Jinxu was right here!
Qiao Qier drove his horse back and asked the three of them, "What's wrong?"
Yu Qing: "Nothing, I just think the family emblem is a bit strange."
The clan emblem is strange? Qiao Qier turned his mount and looked up. He frowned slightly when he saw the halberd. Is it strange? It's weird to say it's weird, but it shouldn't be too weird. People want to use it themselves, and outsiders can't care about it, not to mention it's not something weird.
She looked back at the three people's reactions and said, "Using a halberd as the family emblem may be to express 'martial arts', right?"
The three brothers looked at each other without saying a word, and they all secretly wondered, if Rift Valley Villa really had the ability to open the entrance to the Golden Ruins, how could it be able to resist opening it later?
Yu Qing raised his chin, and they walked through the archway and reached the end of the road.
At the end stands a flag waving in the wind. The flag is also painted with a single-edged halberd set off by cloud patterns, which further proves that it is a clan emblem.
On the stone platform under the flagpole, a dirty old man sat squatting. His clothes were shiny and dirty, his gray hair was messy under his leather hat, and his eyes were cloudy. He was smoking a dry cigarette in his mouth, basking in the sun, and looking at Several visitors looked at it.
This is a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain, with many large and small adobe houses scattered haphazardly, the kind of houses made of yellow mud and adobe, and some houses have a circle of adobe walls. Wooden houses are rare, and there are also mud houses built with stones and mud.
There are countless buildings, and at first glance there are more than a thousand, and this is the Rift Valley Villa. The so-called Villa is actually the Zhuangzi with the surname "Wu". The earthen houses scattered here are all residential buildings, and they are the people of the Wu clan. s home.
It is said that there are more than 10,000 people with the Wu surname in the whole villa. There are no foreign surnames in the local area. The married women also take their husband's surname and all have the surname Wu.
Although this place looks shabby and poor, there are actually many women out there who want to marry, and it’s not just anyone who wants to marry, the people of the Wu clan are very picky, because as long as they are not lazy here, , there will be enough to eat.
What's the world like outside? For example, Yu Qing experienced a disaster and displaced the victims. Only a few million or tens of millions could provide a way for countless victims to survive. However, the court and the government actually said that they could not afford the money, and some powerful people My wife and daughter may spend more than this amount on some jewelry.
Those who practice Buddhism can easily spend tens of millions, and they can spend hundreds of thousands just to buy a useless peach, but no one cares about the victims of the disaster.
Because people who can take out that money are not as stupid as Yu Qing, because they know very well that even if they take it out, it will be a drop in the bucket. Because money cannot really play a role and cannot really reach the hands of the victims. Directly sending money to the victims like Yu Qing did is blocking other people's financial path. Not everyone can have the background of "Ashiheng" and the fame of Tanhualang. Bite. It is good enough if we do not regard major disasters as opportunities to make a fortune, do not take the opportunity to drive up prices, and do not force others to sell their sons and daughters.
In such a ridiculous world, it is even more difficult to live in this desolate place where crops are not prosperous. How many people yearn for Rift Valley Villa to have enough food and clothing. Not only are women from outside eager to marry in, women from the same clan are also unwilling to marry outside, and most of them engage in internal intermarriage with people three generations away.
Of course, Rift Valley Villa is not all as rustic as it seems. The people who live in earthen houses basically work in the grape fields, while the tribesmen involved in brewing are relatively advanced and basically live in the hollow mountains.
The mountains that stretch across the mountain not only house people, but also store a large amount of grape wine.
While the group was surveying the environment, the dirty old man squatting under the flagpole knocked on the tobacco pole, filled the tobacco pot with shredded tobacco again, grinned his big yellow teeth, and asked: "Where did it come from?"
Nanzhu laughed and said: "Uncle, we are practitioners who have traveled all over the world. I heard that there are thousands of acres of vineyards here, so we came here to open our eyes. We also came to see what kind of monster you have here, and see if I can help you get rid of it. A rebellious monster."
The situation here at Rift Valley Villa is a bit special, related to the fifty-mile agreement between the human world and the demon world.
First of all, this place is relatively desolate. Apart from the places leading to towns and villages, the other directions are deserted. They are either grassless mountains or Gobi wasteland. It is a place where even demon cultivators are unwilling to establish a foothold.
A long time ago, in order to expand its business, Rift Valley Villa cultivated unlimited grape plantations along the terrain on both sides.
After a demon cultivator found out about this situation, he blackmailed him with the promise of a fifty-mile agreement. As a result, he failed to extort money. He became angry and arrested people, cut their hearts and sucked their blood. Rift Valley Villa naturally resisted fiercely. The two sides fought fiercely, and no one could win. The final situation was similar to a court battle.
The demon cultivator sued Rift Valley Villa for violating the fifty-mile agreement, but Rift Valley Villa said it had not exceeded it, saying that the expanded area was originally a place where people lived.
This matter is fair and reasonable, and the mother-in-law is right. The key point is that in this desolate place, no one in the demon world or the human world has cared about it before, and no one can provide real evidence to support their side.
But the adjudicators on both sides also sided with their own people, and the back and forth ended in a fruitless situation.
If the higher authorities cannot make a decision, the lower authorities will do it themselves.
Rift Valley Villa mobilized people to cross the border to eliminate the demons, but the demon world turned a blind eye. While the demon cultivators crossed the border and attacked Rift Valley Villa, the human side pretended not to know.
The two sides come to kill each other several times a year, creating a feud.
Even now, demon cultivators still sneak into Zhuangzi from time to time, sucking people's blood and killing them.
The Rift Valley Villa has also been offering a reward for outside help. Whoever can kill an evil monster will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred thousand taels.
However, there were very few people who came to this desolate place to earn rewards and slay demons. It was precisely after Yu Qing and others heard about this situation that they used it as an excuse and rushed directly.
"Oh, we are here to fight monsters, and there is a girl." The dirty old man looked at him and shouted, stood up, looked very happy, and turned around and shouted: "Shitou, the hero who fights monsters is here, bring a few A good man went to Neizhuang to discuss matters."
